Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 was a NOT-needed product. I agree it was better experience compared to GT5, Polyphony got their priorities horribly wrong. 

 

Gran Truismo 6 should have been PS4 title with launch at Fall of 2014.

 

With Drive Club flopping, now we gotta wait for 2 more years to have a decent racer.

 

In your opinion perhaps. It's tradition, 2 GT titles per console.  In my opinion PD's main screw up with GT6 was releasing it too late. It should never of been released just in time for the PS4 (it should've been released at least a year prior) that mistake alone is what gave rise to people assuming it should've been on PS4 and getting disappointed it wasn't. GT has never been a launch title anyway and they always take their sweet time, so getting all upset that it wasn't a release title is moot. GT7 will come and it'll be good I'm sure of it, however, I'm a little concerned the GT4 (PS2 era) standard cars will be coming back. They did a good job cleaning a lot of them up in GT6 but they still look out of place next to the premiums and the hundreds of duplicate cars that PD use to artificially bump up the car count need to go. It frustrates me to no end scrolling through pages and pages of identical MX5s or Skylines or whatever to get to the cars I want. Then there are the duplicates of premium cars! e.g. if I have a premium Skyline R34, why do I need an identical standard one!? fix those problems alone and GT7 will be much better than GT6.

 

 

 

Forza 5 and FH2 made my choice for the next console.  Got the XBOne instead of the PS4, even if I own a PS3.

 

As of right now, nothing on the PS4 come close to Forza 5 or FH2.

 

 

Forza Horizon 2 is what got me to grab a X1, the game is stunning and an absolute joy to play. Forza 5? not so much. Graphically the game is amazing but it's lacking so much in other areas. It feels more like a tech demo to show off the X1 than an actual Forza game. GT6 blows the doors off Forza 5 in that regard in my humble opinion (I own both of them). Forza 4 is still the best Forza proper game, I'm hoping Forza 6 will be a return to form because 5 was so lackluster... 

My biggest problem with Forza 5 was the fact that you had to do many microtransaction to be able to gain new cars and stuff.  It made the game cost like twice as much.

 

I have GT6 also, but I feel the graphics of F5 are better and I prefer the game style.

Well they fixed that shortly after release after fans complained about to much grind.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
