Gran Turismo 5 Coming to PC?

vega75 - 626 days 10 hours ago

i don't think many sonyfans would be happy about this.because this game is one of the reasons to buy a ps3. if it comes to PC. it would be one of many reason not to get a ps3. like sonyfans say about the 360.

Approves the weirdest stuff, when no else does. Especially if it`s percieved as a negative for the PS3. Wow. This is probaly the 3rd or 4th time it`s happened.

I'm a bit disheartened by the news, because the PC is THE home of piracy. I can't see this game doing to well on pc because 1) You would need a really powerful computer to play the game at its best, and 2) Say hello to BitTorrent. It would probably go down the same road as Crysis, an incredible game in itself, but most people downloaded it free off Torrent websites

Why would the idea of people getting it through torrent sites bother you? Honestly I'm interested to know, because from where I'm sitting I dont see how it effects you, only Sony.

EDIT @ plankton, so how exactly has piracy effected you?

Piracy effects everyone. Period. If you can`t see that.....I don`t know what to say. I don`t feel like explaining it, right now.

If you think piracy hasn`t effected devs. dev`ing for the PSP, your very mistaken.

-The SEGA DREAMCAST.
-Not enough games for PSP because of it.

So if piracy keeps going, you think game devs. are gonna keep making games ....for FREE. NO, It`s a business.

Plankton, I believe your being a bit of a drama queen and dramatically over exaggerating things. You just dont like the idea of anyone doing something negative to sony.

I bet you believe we're "Funding terrorism" too when we pirate games/movies.

ye, piracy is killing the game industry, even though its one of the only sectors which is growing and producing more profits year after year.
Just look at Bungie, they can barely afford shoes because of piracy.

Yesterday you told someone this isn`t "Chatroom"

Good Job.

If you can`t see it, I feel sorry for you.

Did piracy kill the DC? Cause if your answer is YES. You really need to think NOT talk.

Did piracy kill the Music Industry? Cause if your answer is YES. You really need to think NOT talk.

Did piracy kill the Movie Industry? Cause if your answer is YES. You really need to think NOT talk.

Did piracy kill the PC gaming age? Cause if your answer is YES. You really need to think NOT talk.

see.

shhh......

Also, WTF does Bungie have to do w/ anything? Your reaching there.

So gaming is growing ......woohoo. So is the population!

It would have grown more w/o it. Cause company would put more into

-movies
-music

cause alot if is going DOWNHILL from a creative stand point.

LOL, your actually a little mental arent you.

The music industry is dead, the movie industry is dead.. blah blah blah. (last time i checked they still made music/movies/etc)

Yeah your totally right, the other day I saw the head of MGM begging on street corners.

If you dont approve of piracy thats great, nor do I, but please "dead" stop over doing it.

When it comes to PC, the majority of pirates do so because their systems cost so much that they simply cant afford both the PC and the game.

I'm a PC gamer, as well are alot of my friends, we have NEVER pirated a game.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Still, why do I wonder if you would take a different stance if we were talking about a 360 game.

EDIT : you know 50 people who never pay for games? Well why not go lecture them about how they're "killing" the game industry huh?

Why would getting it through torrent sites bother me?
Because Polyphony Digital DESERVE success. And they won't get it because things like torrent sites exist, point in case, Polyphony Digital won't get anything back from all their hardwork if they make it for pc too. Thats why i care, even if you don't understand. There aren't many developers around that put so much passion and hardwork into their games. If you've ever seen behind the scene videos of Polyphony at work, you know that they deserve every success in the world. And its things like torrent sites that completely give a big F U to the developers

prologue maybe but full GT5 impossible. As long as sony owns polyphony, it won't happen. They may be trying to introduce more ppl to the franchise though. If they give chinese gamers a taste of GT5P, might get them to buy a ps3 when the full version of GT5 releases. They are just trying to get the game across to more users.

Thats a very selfish way of looking at it. I see that you don't pirate and i commend you for it but i don't condemn those that do it. Ultimately its up to the persons conscious and afor them to decide on the issue of piracy. Me personally i don't do it because i do think about those men and women that work really hard producing these games. My conscious won't allow it but hey thats just me. If other people do it thats their business but please understand the position people like plankton take which is similar to mine.

On topic. I really doubt Sony would allow GT5 to be on PC. Highly unlikely imo.

Leathersoup - 626 days 6 hours ago

well first of all, as expensive as the PS3 is, PCs are more expensive. Not only that but by playing it on the PS3 you'd have couch factor. I'm pretty sure that Sony would put it out on the PC if it meant money.
They've reached the point where they're not exactly having problems selling the PS3. If they sell the game on the PC as well as the PS3 it would generate more revenue for them. Revenue that they're not receiving right now. Also, if the game came out on the PC there's no reason to think that it would look as good or run as well as it did on the PS3.

I'm not sure if I read your post right (if I didn't then excuse this post), but Polyphony Digital is controlled by Sony, it's a subsidiary for SCE.

After Kaz left Sony, Sony helped him set up his own studio what is now Polyphony. Sony is just the publisher of their (sony owns) franchise Gran Turismo.

I doubt they'll make a pc version. They have their hands full at the moment.it would be years after GT5 if they make a PC port.

@below

Not only is it a SONY game, but Digital Polyphony is also owned by Sony.

Digital P is a Sony subsidiary. How dense can you get. They own all the shares in Digital P. Thats why Digital P is called SUBSIDIARY.

They were originally within SCE, and then made Polyphony Digital Inc. and are still owned by Sony. Look at what you pasted, I shall note the important parts:

People who are quick to cry foul at the "exclusivity" of this game are forgetting that this would be a China-only release on PC, because of the much, much larger PC market over there.

I don't foresee this happening though, due to the widespread piracy in China's technology market.

Bet it will definitely require less hardware than Crysis since GT devs have always been great in performance just look at GT4 and GT3 they looked good thats one part but on the other side they performed well on same PS2 hardware.
I think a 7800GTx would be enough for medium settings. Lets see its not like the Onimusha and DMC port.

not really

this wouldnt be a Games for Windows game and that means you will potentially be able to play it on Mac too- and Linux of course

plus you wouldn't actually be paying M$ for the game- you would be paying Sony of course

"Free" AA is BS.
Technically, free anything is impossible. If the AA truly were free, don't you think that more games would be using 4x AA? Fact is, the majority do not, and instead use 2x AA or no AA at all.

You're right, it won't happen. But that's because it would be a waste of resources. Why port it to the inferior PC when Polyphony Digital could be spending their valuable time working on the PS3 version? They don't make PC games, they make Playstation games.

READING COMPREHENSION, do you have it, xbot?

"“It is very, very improbable that GT will comes out on another console,” he said, speaking to derStandard.at. “But perhaps it comes to the PC. Particularly [so we could spread the game in] the Chinese market."

AKA its PS3 exclusive and its a SONY brand title so SONY decides whether or not its coming to the PC. IF they do release it on the PC, AND THATS A BIG IF ("PERHAPS") it would only be for the CHINESE market.

And why is that bad for SONY again? They get another 3-7 million copies sold for their already nr. 1 racing franchise.

Man, you xbots are so stupid. Its a SONY game and SONY say they might release it for the PC cos it would sell guarantee several million copies and why is that bad for them again?

The RSX is based on a different architecture than the G70 series as said by Nvidia themselves. I never said anything about AA so...? and thank you for correcting me with the bloom effects, not THAT good with tech talk lol.

http://www.ps3forums.com/sh...

How can I play Getaway 3 if it isn't out yet?, this link will probably prove what I was saying. It's a tech demo ofc, but hopefully the ps3 can do it.

But I'll leave it there, you just wait until developers start using Mt Evans, you'll see BIG changes, it could be running in HOME right now (ever thought why it was delayed? to improve the quality), same goes for mgs4 too.

But hey, don't take my word for it, I could be right, or could be wrong, so we'll see what happens, but I know for sure that Mt Evans will bring massive changes to games.

EDIT:

btw, them links you posted didn't say anything about the EDRAM on the 360, plus they were only talking about the PS3 & the Wii there rofl.
