I think we get gt8 for 2027, reveal maybe by the end of next year.
And pd has really done their work so car assets dosent need to be remodeled witch would save time. Its takes time to build up thst car list but once we get there it will be worth it to have that high quality for each model.
 
I don't think GT8 will go full service model. Sony seem to have realised during the aborted The Last of Us Online development that letting their core, 10m+ selling studios - Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, Insomniac, Santa Monica, Sucker Punch - do what they do best is better for their brand even if the revenue ceiling is lower, and instead leaving the live service stuff to studios they've bought for that purpose like Bungie, Haven and Firewalk, or to studios they contract IP out to like Arrowhead.

Polyphony have been doing some form of "constant updates adding content but not seasonal live service/constant monetisation" since GT5 Prologue now, it's clearly how they want to work so unless they get mandated to change or their games stop selling then I don't think they will.

Yeah, but GT lends itself much better to the gaas concept than the other games / studios do.

In fact one could argue that PD already put gaas effort into it, but don’t pull gaas money out of it.

I don’t think the next GT will be a full blown f2p gaas hell, but I do think it will be more service oriented.
 
Tbh 1 gran turismo game per gen constantly evolving over the gen is what i think fit well for the genre but as everything you need a goo road map and the ideas need to be clear. Something that pd always struggle
 
I like your option 2 but I'd prefer it to be PS6 exclusive, to maximize its potential.
But theoretically, what extra potential would it actually have compared to a cross-gen GT8 (for PS5 and 6)? Would it even be worth of putting aside any non-PS6 users?

Let's be honest, if PD made GT8 just as an improved version of GT7, with all the issues solved, and more content (cars, tracks, events), people would be happy. :lol:
 
Yep, I think they gonna pull up another year of constant and frequent support with new content coming (cars, tracks, features, etc.) so I think 2025 will be the last relevant year of GT7 life. From 2026 and onwards it will be mostly bugfixes and stability tweaks with maybe a couple of Vision cars until GT8 release. Do you agree?
I agree that more content is going to come for the rest of the year and 2025, can't say I fully agree on them stopping after that though as I don't know what their plan is. Sure, you can look at GTSport as a reference for what their plans are, but GT Sport's and GT7's content release cycles and output have been different from each other. PD might extend it to 2026 for all I know.

Would be enough for me.

But I won't buy a PS6 if there is not a good gap that justifies upgrading.

A GT7 with Sophy as default AI and more variation than starting last and having to catch AI n°1, a game economy that is more fair to the player, prizes that are higher and related to each event difficulty, not the arbitrary random we currently have with 3 outliers, a collector level that continues to grow, and the tickets stats that continue improving with it (enough of the 3* giving change), I dont' ask for more. Oh and if in custom races we could select the opponents and apply various liveries without having to have multiple copies of the cars we want to include in various liveries...

And if we could add AI opponents in lobbies to have full grids when racing with a bunch of friends.

And share the custom events, car tunings, like we share liveries, that'd be great.

And the ability to create custom championships, that we can use in lobbies too.

Eiger Nordwand!! Wow! I wonder if rain and night will be available!
 
Something interesting happened...

On June 11, 2024, @TheAdmiester randomly reacted with 🤔 to a GTPlanet's article mentioning this:

This article!

...and I say his reaction was random because the article is from August 2023, and someone like him reacting to it almost a year later is a little suspicious to say the least.

Now, @Nebuc72 , which is also someone that knows what's going on, also reacted with 🔥 to a recent post here mentioning the possible return of Eiger.

So, is Eiger Nordwand the one that's making a comeback?
Welp, I wasn't talking nonsense after all, nice one!

So I couldn't give up the game too early but yes, you were right. The game will have to change next time just in case :lol:

This post and the reactions to it of those mentioned just became very funny
