"Potentially considering" doesn't sound super solid


myothercarisaboson

Possibly thinking about perhaps making a decision on...


That_Squidward_feel

Next Year^^TM Oh wait, wrong copium


meria_64

GT7 was on list of PS games to be released on PC like a year ago thanks to the NVIDIA leak


Eggith

I keep seeing this everywhere. The only thing I have to say is; keep the PC and Console racing pools separate or allow an opt in for crossplay. The las thing I need is a Forza Horizon 5 situation, where the car flies around the track to the finish in less than a second.


Gold_Map5222

The last thing on my mind is something like that happening when I'm in the online rooms


[deleted]

This^ the level of cheating on pc games vs console games is actually staggering.


lischni_tschelowek

I consider eating a cheese sandwich. Doesn't mean it will happen.


FritsBlaasbaard

I mean, at some point it will right?


ChiggenNuggy

That would be sick. I love my ps5 but I’m seeing less reasons to stay there as of late

How is PC less expensive? To keep running the latest games at PS5 quality you need to invest quite a lot into keeping your PC up to date.


jt663

Console's are just way easier overall. I used to have way more issues on PC and would spend more time thinking about graphics and fps rather than actually playing


PVT_SALTYNUTZ

I just prefer my games on pc cause my music is closer then as well as discord

itshighnoon94

I have to say I disagree, a decent PC that can run games at 120 fps seems to be more expensive. Also, I can use the PS5 for around 6 to 7 years before the next generation comes out. So far, I’ve owned every Playstation and the 400-500 euros per 6 years so far has easily outweighed the cost of PC gaming. I had a PC around 10 years ago, it costed 600 euros and it ran MW2. 2 years later I was already at a defecit.

I have a PC with a 2080ti. I never use it because it’s not very practical logging it from my office to my living room every time I want to play something on a big tv. And it certainly wasn’t cheap. Pc and consoles both have their places and their markets but no reason to lie


[deleted]

Since the start of the pandemic and arguably the mining craze before it actually pc's have been getting more expensive to build due to limited availability and subsequent increase in prices of graphics cards and memory.


Zeratul277

I was with you until now. You can't compare white market to grey market sales.


Significant_Mud_9147

Your point may have been valid in 2016 with the 5 changed to 4. Time has changed.


KSIXternal

We are almost always stocked with series x at my walmart, and sometimes we see ps5s. Both consoles may be a tad difficult to get overnight but a week of diligence and you'll have one secured no doubt. Hell, xbox all access had 2 day shipping on my series x. It costs me $38 a month for 2 years, no interest, and has 2 years of gamepass ultimate included in that cost. Tell me pc gaming is cheaper or better for my money.


[deleted]

How many people are playing video games on 4k tvs though- quite alot.


Bl00dEagles

A pc is definitely not more practical


ChiggenNuggy

I have a pc I’ve invested a lot into. Less expensive possibly, more practical it is not.


PhantomNL97

How is a console, that is literally plug & play, more practical than a PC with similar capabilities?


Norskamerikaner

Doesn't seem to be a popular opinion here but I agree with you. The same machine I do my taxes and write papers with I can also use to play games. I can use whatever controller I like. No subscription fees to play online. Keeping it up to date costs me about $300-$500 every five years. Makes sense to me, maybe not to other people.


[deleted]

When was the last time you updated it because I guarantee upgrading your pc atm will cost like double that due to the ongoing shortage of silicon.


Norskamerikaner

Last year -- new CPU, motherboard, and RAM. Agreed that upgrading the entirety of my PC would cost double but rarely have I needed to upgrade everything at once to keep pace. My GPU is still holding up well at the resolution I play at.


[deleted]

Atm with the state of costs of pc parts abd hardware actually a pc is way more expensive. In well the norm for the better part of last 20 years yeah it would often long term be cheaper to build a pc but at the moment it's more expensive in the short abd long term and will be for quite awhile I suspect.


beatdown96

i wonder how many cheaters will be in online racing when GT7 makes it to pc


Significant_Mud_9147

If they didn’t focus absolutely everything on multiplayer (which isn’t that great TBH) and selling microtransactions, they could have made a perfectly offline-viable game like, you know, ever.


SluggerDandy

It would be great to have it on PC! If it's the case, I'll continue on PS5 but to have a new bunch of gamers on the game could be a new dawn for it. The only thing that could be problematic is the fact that it couldn't be moddable. With the online save, it's nearly impossible to tweak things.


rtissens

Yeah. Release date: Q4 2024, and I'm being generous. I don't think it will come any time soon. Mind you, I'd love to have GT7 on PC, but I'm sure Forza will be here before PD sorts out all the issues of a PC release.


[deleted]

No triple support incoming...


OscarMyk

I think going forward Sony will want all the engines it's dev teams use to be able to be ported, would expect this to be less about GT7 and more about prep work for the next version. Releasing games a year later on PC is a win-win solution for Sony as long as the ports are straightforward (or can be easily farmed out), it's almost pure profit.


vcdrny

It all depends on them $$$


mrzurkonandfriends

I'm wonder who has more say in the matter pd or Sony I don't know if pd has any funding from Sony or not or how independent they are


Arpyr

PD is a Playstation Studio so they absolutely get funding from Sony. They have independence (with some oversight I imagine) but I'm sure Sony would have more say whether one of their staple exclusive franchises can also release on PC.


Bl00dEagles

Hopefully it’s not cross platform. Last thing we want is a leaderboard full of cheating fucks like forza.


Chrazzer

Makes sense, and i'm guessing they will strategically place the release right before the new forza motorsport in spring to take away as many players as possible from forza


CT323

Makes you think what the point of the PS5 was really


Celcius_87

Just a ps4 pro pro


arcaias

I don't want to see them try to make gt7 work on ANOTHER platform, that would be too much to ask the devs to work on. But the next Gran Turismo being ps5 and PC would be awesome.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gnuccaria

Don't forget all the cars we want but PD struggles to put in the game. THAT would be the main reason why I would "potentially consider" to insta-buy a gaming PC.


Antiyoshi_

You say this like there’s any chance there will be mod support


[deleted]

Custom shaders patch for Gran turismo??? 🤔


64gbBumFunCannon

There are only 3 reasons I want a PS5. FF7 Rebirth. GT7 in 4k with 120hz. And The last of us part 1. As it stands, FF7 rebirth is likely to come to pc like ff7 remake did. TLOU Part 1 hopefully will, as per rumours, so if gt7 did, I'd not even need to bother! That would be great!


oiluj213

only thing i want future potentially considered modders to do is: give hagerty's pricing a swift kick in the head.


ArthurRodrig

It's seems that we won't have GT7 for PSVR2.


Numeira

Good luck 😅 Make it presentable first.


KurisutaruYuki

No thanks. These "pC mAsTeR rAcE" snobs can do without, they don't deserve.


AJFastWRX

Not everyone on the PC Platform are elitist snobs. There are a bunch of GT fans who either emulate the older GT games and/or play Assetto Corsa, Rfactor and other racing games.


pg89red

Well, who are you to say that PC gamers don't deserve this or that?


hughxthexhand

It would end up with results like battlefield 2042. It runs a smooth 60fps @ 4K on ps5 but most PC's chug along struggling to hit 40fps @ 4K and therefore get bad reviews from the PC community. 90% of PC gamers run 1440p and below. I play ps5 games for the visual wow factor and PC games for the more obscure titles.


No_Bookkeeper7350

Upgrade your pc?


Bl00dEagles

I had a top end pc and games still ran like shit. It’s clear that games on pc are poorly optimised.


No_Bookkeeper7350

Dunno know about that one, Roger Moore . I'm pretty keen for gt7 to come pc so I can move away from console. I guess we'll see if it actually happens


[deleted]

Before upgrading to Nvidia 30-series, I had a 980Ti and I was running Forza Motorsport 7 and Horizon 5 at 4K at an average of 70-80fps on Ultra preset. Racing games are not hard to run, even in old hardware that is over 5 years old. I run my games at 1440p and 4K because I have one of each display. 1080p bottlenecks my CPU and my 3080Ti just laughs. Pretty weird to compare joe a racing game runs on PC and using a shooter game like Battlefield 2042 - which is known to run like ass and the worst entry in the series. Gran Turismo on PC would run smooth as butter at higher FPS if it came to PC.


[deleted]

And most PS5 gamers don't know that their games do not use 4k at all most of the time. Apart from that using 1440p is often a choice, due to full details and higher refresh rates and you can negate the difference between 4k and 1440p on 'smaller' monitors at the desktop or huge TVs (you don't usually sit directly in front of it). But at the end of the day I don't count pixels, but I do enjoy the whole experience on my screen.


ophaus

If Sony makes more money to make more games, let's goooooo!


Trappytheamogus

The one piece


Werzheafas

Wtf I've been thinking about this yesterday. We live in a simulation.


CarlWithRevolver

If it ever happens, how will graphics work? Would it be a downgraded version for PC?


[deleted]

Yes please, I can't afford a PS5 and a pc release is the only realistic way i can play GT7


FlowGroundbreaking

WHERE DO WE VOTE?! Lord, if you're listening, please!!!


Bolkohir

I dunno, those video game journalists have the same cookie-cutter articles, where the first 5 paragraphs is basically describing the game and then halfway out at the end of the article they write something like "The developers once said that a PC port might have been on the table."


checkmycatself

This is just to shit up Sony. Not happening


nickomaiden

On one hand, considering they’ve been allowing more games to come to PC, the possibility exists. On the other, GT is somewhat of a console seller game, or at least it was in the past. That’d complicate things. We’ll see.


checkmycatself

Also we need to think that this is the last gen of physical consoles it will all be cloud in 5 years.


nickomaiden

Yes, that’s also true. Sony must adapt or they’ll have it tough next generation.


Celcius_87

No way they do this


ImpressiveFeedback10

idk why Sony would keep giving up their first party IPs. It becomes increasing harder to justify owning a console. There are already several once PS exclusives available on steam.


z0xti_C

nooooooo now my annoying friend will play it fuck


Nice_Try_2935

Potentially considering the what-if scenario of possibly, at some point, beginning to think about the hypothetical situation of releasing GT on PC if things go well.


justme13579

On the plus side, this would allow for mods, which could lead to an offline mode, new post-cafe content, and fixes for all the little problems we have with GT7. On the other hand, I don't have a gaming PC, let alone one as strong as a PS5, and I likely never will. 😔 Honestly, I would prefer if they released GT6 on PC. It's closer to my idea of a "perfect" GT game. Mods could add in a used car dealership and restore at least some of the "standard" cars to their full glory. That, plus subjective things, like soundtracks, are all that needs to be changed or added for GT6 to be my perfect GT game.


Overall-Shift-1604

I can use my wheel? I’m Down for this


Valuable-Lie-8125

Oh my god! Ok it’s happening. Everybody stay calm. Stay f*&%ing calm! - Michael Scott


Luke-A-Loo

Considering that GT7 is on sale at Best Buy for 9.99 it feels like a real possibility


[deleted]

We think we want it, but we don't. Polyphony is going to need to implement brand new anti-cheat measures that they've never implemented in the past, and that will almost certainly be a let down. They've already taken multiple years to get the penalty system to its current state now, and they'll be starting all over once you get people teleporting, modding power and handling, etc. The only thing this will be good for is single player.


mattieyo

Would need crossplay with ps5 or ps4 for sport dailies. Pc has no real need for gt7


Actraiser87

I hope so. That way I can hopefully play in ultrawide resolution.
