GT Sport (November) Update Theory Discussion

Neddo
Because GranTurismo S is kinda dated and MC Stradale is way sportier, it is a surprise IMO.

Not really, PD have never, ever had the latest and greatest, the Zonda coming back being an S is just another example.

It's silly for anyone to expect supercars/sportscars of the current generation in a GT game, at least not straight away unless they appear as prototypes.
 
There is a chance of this:

So far, we've had two cars from the same manufacturer, in the last four updates. Here's hoping...

Don't forget about their GT3 version, nah people maybe want MC12 GT1 come first even knowing no proper place for that. Wait can GT1 on GR.1?

Oh, I remember. I left it out, because of Kaz just saying they aren't adding new manufacturers to GT3 now and looking into new/updated GT3 models.
I'd still have it though.

Don't know where the Mc12 would go. They'd need to add the McLaren F1 GTR Fina or Ueno versions and I guess the Jaguar 220 LM to balance it, like they added the Group C cars.
 
I forgot that no thread on this site can go more than 5 posts without someone saying "THIS CAR IS POSSIBLE" for no god damn reason, and it derailing into a nonsensical wishlist.

So we got the 22b, and Gran turismo. Here's hoping for 11 more to make it 100 new cars.
 
It bites my turd when people assume we'll get more cars, just make up round numbers. Jeez these threads!
 
Well what you expect? Just like your daily gossip news, make everything as rumour then you'll get yours come as real sometime in future :lol:
 
One year in, close to 300 cars. GT6, 1300+.

It's hilarious to read these car wishlists and think that, basically we are saying 'Can we have GT6 back, pretty please?!'

It's not silly. This is one of Gran Turismo's shortcomings. Their car list is always lagging behind behind other racing games, to a degree. You like the older stuff, great. But what about those who like the greatest and the latest, and not just because it's the most recent but because they genuinely like the new car? There's gotta be a balance. For example, it's criminal that the most recent Ferrari in GT Sport is 5 years old. If this was a game like GT Legends or Rally Trophy, which aim at classic or vintage cars, it doesn't make sense not to try to be up to date.

We are theorizing here after all. It's in the name of the thread. We try to follow lines of thought into what might be coming. Of course, none of us are sure. I think it makes sense for us to get an update with double-digit cars (maybe even around 15 them), this time around, because, as another member pointed out, Polyphony will be able to say: "In our first year of post-launch support, we have added over 100 new cars into the game, free of charge." Quite the selling point number, indeed.

Polyphony are feeding us a bit too much of the same dish again, for my taste. Let's hope we start seeing some more new additions.

Are you sure "we're" theorizing? This post says otherwise.

So many of the cars in previous GT’s where copy & paste crap. Particularly race cars, many had essentially identical physics, the odd tweak to power/weight/downforce, and one of the generic engine samples.

Today when we get a car, even returning ones, it feels unique and a worth representation.

When you start a sentence by "It is possible that..." you are speculating about an outcome that may or may not become reality. In other words: you're theorizing. Your logic may be more grounded or less grounded on reality but the truth is, in theory, any car is possible. Just some more likely than others. All in all, we have very little information to go on about the contents of this update. It's only natural that most of this thread will be speculation.

Yeah I was saying it's silly for GT fans to expect it when we should know PD by now. Not silly to want GT to be as up to date as possible.

People should use their heads when thinking about what cars they expect and adjust their wishlists accordingly so they aren't disappointed. PD for whatever reason are completely incapable of being up to date so don't go thinking we'll get the cars that have just come out unless there's a special circumstance like when they include prototypes (Supra, Corvette, GT-R to name a few).

Pretty much, PD really needs to release new stuff, It's starting to feel like GT6 remastered minus a lot of cars and tracks, anyway we all know that won't happen

Which is why when I saw the Aston Martin DB11, I was like: "What sorcery is this?!"
 
Never understood the car list complaints when GTS now has 250 cars, nearly 90 of them being free within the first year. PD are no doubt holding some cars back for the next game.

100 cars or so a year is a fantastic pace. By 2021 we could be seeing an extra 200 cars in the modeling pipeline.

Yeah, it's hilarious to not even consider 800 of GT6 cars look like this, with no interior renders, while continuing to complain about the content in GTS's monthly free DLC car packs.

Also eagerly await for someone to again compare remodeling car models to remodeling one generic player body model used across multiple characters in a FIFA game as if the comparison is legit. :lol:

You know, I'll be the first one to say: if money is the issue for so little new cars, then bring on the paid DLC. I'll gladly pay for it.

Holding it back for the next game is just silly. Instead of modelling stuff that's relevant, and in the public's eye, when the game is being released, we'll do with what was in the public's eye years ago, because we're holding back. It's a vicious, snowball-like cycle.

"Check out GT7! With the awesome Ferrari 488 GTB in the cover!"
"Nice, what about the new 508?"
"What about it?"
"Well, it's just that the 488's been out for years now. Don't you guys have something more in the 'now'?"
"We're working on it. It'll be here... eventually..."

Its not a money issue lol
PD have made hundreds of millions from GT. Its a simple time issue. The only way to alleviate is to employ more people which PD are very slow at. They don't outsource bar the rare occasion.

Eh its common for devs to hold content back as you have to realise that the next GT is already in development. They aren't going to release everything as DLC as that will just mean the next GT will have no new content.

Also PD being slow with the cars seems like their own decision. It takes 6 months to make a car so the lag of 2 years or so seems entirely based on their priorities on what to model. Unless manufacturers have some clause on how soon a car can appear digitally.

I also don't think it matters for a game like GT that has such a wide range of time periods for vehicles. New cars will be seen as new cars even if they are 2-20 years old from production.

Not everyone is a fan of new cars though. I personally hate them, actually.

Licenses have to be renegotiated for every game. Just because it's been there in the past doesn't, necessarily, mean it will be possible for it to return.
Click to expand...
What you said could be true but just because of that doesn't also mean that it's not possible anymore. It all boils down on what their decision might be in the future. I bet they can still find a possible way to obtain the necessary license for it to exist in-game if they wish to, regardless of conditions. It's just a matter of will or reason. If there's a will, there's a way. If they choose to dismiss, then there's a reason behind that. Very simple. Sadly, PD chooses to veer towards the latter more because this rendition is different than the others. Hopefully though, they're adding cars again and that's a good sign that they seem to be listening possibly for what people want.

I have a feeling that they hold back the drift cars sadly.

Surely they can take the GT6 model and clean it up?

Thing is if Mazda want to make Furai II, they could. Its a rotor stuffed into a Courage LMP chassis.
