What is the communal obsession with Spec 2 as opposed to just a regular update? Does a fancy name completely change the game?
I would imagine this will be more detail about the Michelin partnership as it gives them a broader audience to show it to.

It's most likely nothing and just people racing against each other like a mini-FIA championship.

The TGS is held on dates that coincide with the GT World Tour in Hangar 7. I don't think they present anything especially relevant in the TGS if Yamauchi and company are not going to be present in Tokyo.

 

[Guffaluff]

Interesting! Gonna watch this with interest, but keep my expectations on the down low

I'm expecting some mini live event and maybe more introduction on the Michelin partnership. But we'll see

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Maybe that's when we get Spa .

 

[Loverson]

Well i am more focused on Nioh 2 this time but i'd be impressed if we get shown something new at TGS

 

[AlanH49]

Sony won’t hold a traditional press conference at TGS. So this will most likely be some Esports event.

The first time we see anything next-gen GT related. Will likely be at the official PS5 reveal early next year. That said, it would be cool to eventually get a Spec II release, to have all content on physical media. Even though I’m personally all-digital.

This. Though I do think PD might announce GTS being "content complete" soonish so they can set the expectations regarding the future of GTS straight AND fully focus on 7/Sport2.

I want a new intro movie with Daiki Kasho and I want them to showcase all the new cars and tracks they’ve added in updates. Just like GT5 Spec 2.0.

Yeah, pretty much this. The current opening is outdated with all these new cars and tracks since. And it's most likely why Daiki's been at Nightbird back in May.

And i want 6 winning lottery numbers, but hey-ho.
As my late mother used to say, "I want never gets".

 

[hairless_ape]

LMAO, who the hell cares about the opening scene? People get caught up in the most irrelevant ****.

You're supposed to be mashing circle as the game is loading so you can skip past it and start playing ASAP anyway.

 

[Downhill Dino]

You'd only skip the intro because Sport's is really boring. Bring back the music video feel!

 

[Crazy Taylor]

I don't want an intro, especially one which keeps harping on about world tours everytime yo you boot up the game.

Yeah, passed GT games had great intros. My favorite is GT6 and GT4, but honestly they’re all great.

 

[Achika_Kuonji]

Some famous Japanese Gran Turismo players (who don't go to Redbull Ring) will come and show a race I think. 40 minutes is short.

6 Japanese GT Players and YAM will come to TGS.

 

[MMX]

Intro, really? The first thing I do in a new GT game, is go to options, and turn off the intro, after watching it of course. One and done.

Is that confirmed? That would mean Yamauchi is not going to be in Salzburg for the World Tour...

It would be impossible for him to present the Manufacturer Series trophies in Salzburg at 9pm on September 13th and arrive in Tokyo by 2pm on September 14th - it'd be a minimum 12hr flight and a 7hr time difference. Given that there's no direct flights, it would also be impossible for him to leave Tokyo at 2.30pm on September 14th and be back in Salzburg to present the Nations Cup trophies at 9pm. He can only do one of the events...

YAM is test driver / car physics for GT and does commentary also for GT in Japanese. He is a GT alien too.

Ah, Kazuki Yamada, not Kazunori Yamauchi?

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Yep.

 

[Achika_Kuonji]

Yes, I mean Kazuki Yamada. If I mean Kazunori Yamauchi, I'll write "Kaz".

 

[Famine]

Yes, I mean Kazuki Yamada. If I mean Kazunori Yamauchi, I'll write "Kaz".

They're both both

Or be smart and set the intro movie to off.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Or be smart and set the intro movie to off.

No. You watch the intro with total consentration. Then you turn it off in options.

Mabe Honda will fly them in there Business jet

 

[Lux Klonoa]

...Okay, we get it, guys. The intro is not that important. No need to go all-in on it. >_>;

Still think the current intro is boring compared to 5 and 6, though.
