Due to the fact that the sim-racing genre has evolved so much in the last 5 years, PD have to make the best GT ever in order to stand a chance against the toughest opposition ever seen. They cannot stuff up GT Sport; they need to get back in the game and bring the sales up to 10 million and re-affirm it's position at the top. It really is do die for Kaz and his crack team of developers.

The verified ticks don't show in any of the messenging windows I can see (FB web page, and Messenger app), only on the Gran Turismo page itself. So it's a genuine message, unless that screencap has been totally photoshopped or something (which I doubt, as @GTPorsche said it's just seems to be a generic (or genetic
) response that doesn't say much, no good reason to be faked really).

Hm, even after editing the controller setup for about 30 times i couldnt get it to work perfectly (as GT6, or driveclub) for me.
My wife asked me the first week i played PCars what game this is where i constantly have to trigger settings instead of driving cars, why i always started a race for 30 seconds to quit it then to re- re- re- re- .... configure the controller setup
A generic response would rather be something like ,,we cant tell you anything specific yet but you will get new infos about GTSport soon''. So to me that info seems honest and i am surprised to hear something that specific from PD (if that message is real at all)!

People please remember, PD are all about the details. Not only are they making sure the textures on dashboards and steering wheels look accurate, they are also making sure the exact shade of yellow is applied to each weed on every circuit.
Ya can't rush the details, folks.

They are not going to sell 10 million copies of this between main GT release titles game anymore than they have before.

With PD, you never know. Maybe we get some news during the Geneva Auto Salon in March.

...Either that, or even GDC in San Fran. It's happening on March 14th to 18th. Sony's going to show off more of PSVR there, so keeping my fingers crossed for other first party games and stuff.

I really doubt that. The only big announcements from PD apart from the LA Auto Show are from gaming conventions.

True but it felt forced by Sony rather than PD being ready to start showing the game. The trailer show us some cars on the ring basically + VGTs we knew since forever. It's not even like they showing us 30 cars racing together - it's 5 so you don't even speculate on the grid size.
That trailer contains as little information as possible.
I think that after the next big reveal/trailer we will start getting the info more often.

The argument was that PD is moving away from gaming shows for announcements, and yet they just announced their latest project at a gaming show. It isn't really relevant how it "feels" or what's shown, an announcement is an announcement.

I kind of agree with you, but I also don't. I agree because PDI needs to make up from some missteps with GT5 and GT6, but even if they fall short in a few areas, I doubt those outside of forum users will complain to much.
Whatever comes our way, I am willing to bet that none of the current games (PC, FM6, AC) will come close to the sales of GTS. I believe Sony knows this.
I still want a Gran Turismo that does everything though.

I agree with all this. There are some changes that are needed more than others and I don't mind waiting for small/unimportant features to be changed if it means getting the bigger features here first.
PCars, Forza and AC are all great in their own ways, and GTS/GT7 can prove to be a good mix of all of them and more superior. Especially if they can include some form of a livery editor (even in a small presence).
EDIT: Tho I do not see a livery editor of any kind coming until standards are completely gone.

I totally agree with this. GT fans always get into a hype frenzy around a first GT release on a new console, and those first releases of each gen sell extremely well. Hell, look at the sales figures of GT5: Prologue for proof of that. What was essentially a paid demo sold more than most other full racing games ever do at around 5.4 million units, more than any of the Forza games IIRC, which are great sellers themselves!
GTS being the first GT on a new system, and with GT fans having waited so long for even a taste of new gen GT, I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell more than 6 million units regardless of how good or bad it actually is.
The most critical people of the game will certainly be here, but the majority of buyers will be people who will buy it just because it's a GT game, and likely without any prior research of what it's about. I know people who are casual gamers who will do exactly that. Their only knowledge of the game will likely come from me lol.

I periodically hear about this racing sim "evolution," and I'm at a loss as to what exactly people are talking about. Lots of cars and tracks? They've always tried to have that. Superb physics? Same. Now, if you guys mean console racer evolution, that I might understand. Whatever the case, I think the "evolution" Polyphony needs to do is broaden the focus of Gran Turismo to reflect Kazunori's experience on the track, something he has talked about attempting in GT5 and 6, and not quite made it. Like non-Horizon Forza is trying to do, be a fun racer and a sim at the same time, which F6 isn't too bad in that regard.
I'm hoping GT Sport is the first step in that direction, giving us a Gran Turismo racing sim alongside old school GT. That's the evolution I want to see.
As for "do or die time for GT," sure, people have only been saying that since GT4.
Amen, bro.
