Its not that Deep. As repeatedly seen over the years, PD work in their own little bubble and show no indication they care. At best, coincidental timing for Spec II (And given how troublesome the launch was for Forza, it just happened to really magnify it).

Do not understand this idea about PD "Responding" to what others do when they hardly have for the past 26 years.

This seems to be super common for Japanese studios in particular. They seem oblivious to market competition and seem to concentrate only on whatever their artistic goal is. I try to imagine what goes on at the company from a business perspective in terms of content but I think it's safe to assume they're not even pursuing new OEM licenses and whatnot at this point. If they needed to make more money to pay higher fees (Lotus) then they could simply drop paid DLCs instead of making everything free. A dollar per car and five dollars per track is a lot more revenue than free for both, its a price that a hundreds of thousands of people would pay, and it would allow them to go source the content that people actually want. A company intent on creating a magnificent experience surely would've licensed and modelled hundreds of cars and several tracks by now, and have dozens of these things in the immediate pipeline.

its not showing up in brand central for me, weird

That's because its a timed exclusive like the Ferrari was and it won't be available to everyone else for purchase until late February.

It's funny reading these threads when you already know what's coming.

I know people want the latest GT3s , especially 296 GT3 but that's way too early for Gran Turismo

at best we will get the 488 of any kind before that

The 488 Challenge was scanned and recorded some time ago.

I can only imagine how many cars and tracks PD have in their locker. But this is business and they need to maximise income. So who knows when certain content will arrive, what title it will be in, even the target platform!

Their is no evidence to sugest if we can get an update or not its just speculation, remember back last year when the gr corolla was added to brand central in update it was added with 3 another cars, so it could be simular story here, there will be an update in february, because bulgary needs to be added to brand central,
If its just that or 3 another cars remain to be seen

this is unhinged

the universal praise of the VR implementation has led to 0 QOL updates in the year since launch. do i have to actually hand write a love letter to someone to get a leaderboard in VR?

Then take the other route. Complain ad nauseum about everything you want but don't have . . and see how quickly PD - or frankly any other game company - reacts.

I'm not suggesting it's bad to desire upgrades.

I'm stating continual complaining normally will and should be ignored or be a primary reason to terminate service/upgrades/features/etc.

I predict the following:
- Update will land early March
- 3 cars and one track
- Several engine swaps, paints and quality of life upgrades
- flood of threads complaining how this is the second worst update because "X" wasn't included.
- Lather
- Rinse
- Repeat.


To me, that is unhinged.


Thank you for providing my morning coffee.

quite frankly i am 100% certain that if i complain or praise it will have no effect whatsoever, which is the healthy and reasonable way to view one's own feedback on a major global product. it would be megalomaniacal for me to believe i could bully a company into updating or not updating their game anymore by complaining on a forum.

the majority of my posting about VR features is "these are the top 3/5 VR QOL features the game could use", which is neither praise nor complaint. To wit:

  • Leaderboard in VR
  • Delta info in VR
  • Mappable View reset toggle button
  • Mappable HUD toggle button
  • Have your head position set no more than once per race/lobby and not reset every time the view changes

We are coming up on one entire year with almost universal desire for at least three or more of the above. Again, that sentence is neither complaint nor praise, it is accounting.
 
The Ferrari 488 GTE/GT3 was very notable in motorsport, as it was a very iconic machine, too beautiful and sexy to be passed over by the PDI. I want to believe that Kaz won't commit the heresy of not bringing 488 to the GT7 before the 286 GT3.

It is a fact that it is not possible to use logical reasons to interpret the PD's actions, but, being very optimistic, I think that the 293 GT3 and the BMW M3 GT3 will be saved for the GT8, while the GT7 will receive the 488 GTE/GT3, the Vantage GTE/GT3 and the BMW M8 GTE, to complete the GTE car collection.

PS: I won't even mention the Corvette C8.R, as it seems to me that PDI's dispute with Pratt Miller is too fierce for us to be able to count on a real version of the C8.R.

My prediction is .......... that we won't have any update at February .
Next update will be at March to " celebrate" the 2 years from release of the game .
February will be a " dry " month .

Perhaps late February we will get the Bulgari VGT but i still doubt and about that.

No, they have to have an update to enable the Bulgari VGT in Brand Central - while the Ferrari VGT was time-gated, the other two cars that were early access (HiMedic and GR Corolla) worked using the update method (moreso because it is possible to jump the start on obtaining the Ferrari VGT from tickets, while HiMedic and GR Corolla could not).

You could get the HiMedic from watching the stream

Neither the Himedic nor GR Corolla were available from Brand Central on their month release. (Also, they were not droppable from tickets, unlike the Ferrari VGT.)

At least you still had a chance to get the Himedic for free.

I think the criticism over the last update was pretty hard to ignore. I suspect that PD will want to do something a little special for the next one to make fans happy. I'm going to guess a classic circuit:

Apricot Hill

or

Midfield Raceway

or

Red Rock Valley Speedway

or

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

and maybe a classic/fan favorite car
Mitsubishi FTO + FTO Touring Car

I have zero evidence to support my claims.

Basically, as 95% of the predictions on this forum myself included :gtpflag:

Expecting at least 1 oldschool track in the next update as it has been a while since we've had an added track.

Would love Autumn Ring, Mid-field, Apricot Hill etc. Let's wait and see!

Mid Field and Apricot Hill are the most likely. Wouldn't rule out SSR5, Tahiti Maze or Autumn Ring either.
 
I definitely rate Mid-field high up on the update list. Makes for a good momentum circuit. Maybe not ideal for Sport Mode if the races are rolling starts. Really cool for standing starts. It's nearly a Baby Suzuka.

They're banned from here for shamelessly promoting their videos incessantly.

It's all tedious clickbait (in the actual sense) and hate is one of the easiest ways to get views.

That and boobs 👍🏻
 
I think the only given for this next update is that the Bulgari VGT will become available to everyone. Other than that, I have no idea. But I do recall that a video on the Genesis VGT teased a racing version. Would be fantastic if we could get a Gr.1 version in particular.

EDIT: We still don't have an Extra Menu for some automakers, like Lamborghini or McLaren. Though I'd imagine for the latter, there's just no getting around the fact that the iconic F1 would need to be included. Perhaps it could be the '95 racing version that won the LM24, instead of the much more expensive road car. For a Lamborghini-themed Extra Menu, they could even focus in on models powered by a V12, like the Aventador, the Murcielago, and the Miura Prototype. (Though I'd prefer to see a relatively more common-place Miura S get added, as well as the original 350GT.)

McLaren Racing Cars: F1 GTR '95/F1 GTR '97/650S GT3

...but that would be still expensive.

I'd say we could really use more McLaren models in general, like the "normal" P1, the Speedtail, the Senna, the 750S, and perhaps the 720S GT3. But I digress.
