I mentioned it in the GTWS thread because I wasn't sure, but I went back and checked, and these advertising hoardings are definitely not in the game at present, either in the current Sport Mode TT at Monza or any of the single player races there.

Note that Harman Logistics are fictional, so this isn't a sponsorship thing.

I would bet that was something exclusive to that event build.

Did you check the wtc 800 race because the top screenshot with Harman on the banner before the second chicane is there, the second in game is covered by another fictional sponsor Toby Morrish Jewelry with 1 big banner and 2 small ones at the 100m board instead of the long one from the gtws stream

I think the yellow signs above the tires is used in a version of Suzuka whenever there's a online championship in Sport Mode

(Picture from a TGR GT Cup Round last year)
The same effect applies to "Online Championship" races in Sport mode when they were around (Same applies to some WTC races with a longer race duration or when it's for the PP800 and above classes).
Kinda weird that I would reply to the same kind of message back in February.
 
Since there are three more months before the end of the year, assuming we get at least four cars next month, November and December, we'd be at 560 cars.

Then with one more year of updates, I think GT7 will eventually have up to around 600 cars at the end of its lifetime.

One more year is unlikely. I think support may stop, as soon as December 25
 
We'll know a lot more about the future by Wednesday evening. Realistically if GT isn't in next week's State of Play, the next installment is not going to be a 2026 game, so we won't need to think about it for a while. And we'll also have the update trailer then, in case there's some unexpected Sophy 2.1-like support for this game dropping.
 
Did some reading and the penultimate GT Sport update came about a month before GT7s reveal (final update was a competition thing), 21 months before the games release. Until we start getting 1 car updates, I don't believe we'll see much of GT8 and I certainly don't believe it'll be seen next year. Is it in active development? I believe yes. Could I be totally wrong? Also yes.

Maybe, but gt7 was supposed to launch 4 yrs later than GT sport, due to delays it didnt, so maybe without delays it is possible a 26 launch

I would be shocked if there wasn't at least a year between the reveal of the next game and its launch. Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Saros are all roughly comparable games to GT in the PS Studios stable (AAA but not Naughty Dog/Santa Monica/Insomniac tier behemoth tentpoles, that Sony would be aiming for around 8-10 million copies). All three of those have gotten or seem to be getting between a year and 18 months of marketing between reveal and launch.
 
Chapter 2 tomorrow? Same Bat Time? Same Bat Channel?

So which Elantra N are we getting exactly? ;)

The pre-facelift model:

Or the facelifted model?

(Edit: just realized I should've posted this on the update thread, sorry :guilty:)

I know it's GT, but like, they're scanning a car that they (for the most part) already have 2 versions of in the game.
If this is an entirely new model made from scratch, instead of taking one of the others and editing the parts that are different, isn't this a direct mismanagement of time & existing resources?
Maybe they are going to edit an existing model, but they just need a scan of the new parts? I don't know.

Not really a waste of resources. If PD do the same thing, as described in Jordan’s VGT article, in terms of having to simulate the 12R different handling characteristics, the exhaust note, bigger engine dynamics, the new facelift and taillight treatment, interior trim. The team are being put to good use for this new Roadster.

Is there any kind of confirmation that there even is a state of play next week? I can't find anything about that other than some vague rumors from sources that aren't exactly reliable.

Only rumors. Very reliable sources though.

Of course none of these reliable sources have mentioned GT8 as one of the games potentially in the SoP.

Have not tracked this super closely, but I think Wolverine and some sort of God of War spin-off are supposed to be there. I think that closes the door for a potential GT8 reveal.

Have to say that the recent uptick in GT7 news and social media activity have shifted my expectations a bit. GT8 is probably further out than I'd want :(
 
Chapter 1 of 3 🤔
I guess we'll have to wait a few days to see if they're simply referring to a couple more video tweets of the 12R's scanning & implementation process or more cars to come.

If it is indeed the latter, there are coincidentally three Mazda Spirit Racing models that have been announced so far which I'm aware of. The 12R we are already getting, the Mazda Spirit Racing 3 Concept seemingly based on their Super Taikyu Mazda 3 that the Group 4 car we already have is based on, and the Mazda Spirit Racing CX-60.
