WHY Cant Gran Turismo be on PC

A while back some news was published (by me infact will go trawling now again) That Polyphony the creators of the series, said it's at Sony's request. The lead designer himself said that porting it to PC would be an easy job and at one stage, I think it was with GT4 allready had a working PC sample ready for the masses, but Sony had them bin the whole project, he also said that he WANTED to bring GT series to PC with GT5, but Sony said no no!

but check this, makes you think....

n a revealing statement from last week’s Game Developer’s Conference, SCEA Director of Hardware Marketing John Koller mentioned that Gran Turismo 5 will be released across “all platforms” when it “makes the most sense”. The comments came from a Q&A session and were just picked up by VG247:

“Ultimately, they [Polyphony Digital] are a developer who makes a lot of their own decisions, but we are looking at GT5 across all platforms, just to see what makes the most sense. [...] Seriously though, there is really nothing we can really say about it, other than it’s a franchise we would like to continue. So, other than that, we don’t really have any announcements regarding the game at this time.”

Grand Turismo Will never be ported from the console over to PC it never has and the development companies never will I think they are worried about their game being pirated, and the fact that it is a Sony development I dont think they were willing to sell to other corporations either seeing as it has always been sony since 97 when the first GT came out :) hope that answers ur question/s

The reality is since GT3 polyphony has been wanting to make a pc version and they even had a 40% completed version of GT4 for the pc a few years ago (which they wanted to release in the asian markets) the problem is sony owns the publishing rights (and a major chunk of polyphony) thus even if they create a brilliant pc version the final answer on distribution lies with sony not polyphony
