| AnthonyW86 said: I can't believe some people seriously thought this was coming to PS4, you could have seen this coming years ago. They alway's launch a second GT game late in the generation. You're nothing going to launch a title this big and expensive on a system with zero install base. Also supporting you're system longer with quality titles can actually boost sales of the new system, because people will realise that the new system will probably last them just as long. |
@bold. Yeah maybe, but there again, the first Xbox was supported for 4 years and then tottaly cut of, and it didn't discourage 75 million people from buying the X360, unfortunately I think customers have very short memory when it comes to these things, the bunch of core gamers may see the benefit of it but I doubt many other will.
As to the first paragraph, well you can't just compare it like that.
First of all Gran Turismo 2 released 4 months before the Japan launch of the PS2 almost a year before NA/EU
Gran Turismo 4 released more than a year and a half before the PS3 launch in any region
Second of all both GT1 and GT3 released earlier in the respective consoles lifecycles then the GT5 did on the PS3 and the second installment brought pretty big changes.
And the last thing. Before the PS3 the only way to include new cars, tracks, options was by releasing a new game. Now we have patches and DLCs that Polyphony was effectively using to introduce new things so GT5 could evolve and get way way better game then it was at launch.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!
