After 8 Month of Release is GTS getting closer to BE a GT7 or is it (still) miles away from it ?
On release Day the GTS was a Plain game if you compare it with the Previous GT series.
Now after several Updates it's getting better and better but is it still close to be a GT7 or not yet.
 
GT Auto needs to be added. Maybe, just maybe then I'll start looking at GTS as a potential "GT7".

On second thought, naaahhhh :lol:
 
There will be no GT7 on PS4. And nobody knows what they will call the next part.
Calling it GT7 would decrease GT Sport into a mistake, an experiment which didn't work. And they'll never allow this.

Kaz thinks far into the future. What could a future GT part bring holding to the old thinking? The time for selling a game only with huge car and track number is going over. You see where the other games are.

Thats why he tries to bring organized real racing feeling with each other to the masses
 
No and it won’t be. I don’t understand the obsession people have with making GTS into a direct successor to GT6. It was never advertised to be that. It was never going to be that.

The car/track count of GTS was paltry at the start. The critics knew this, the customers knew this, PD knew this. Adding cars/tracks isn’t to make this more like Gran Turismo of yesteryear; it’s to add content to a game that was lacking compared to competition.

If people are hopeful for a return to formula then it’d be on PS5. I don’t have much doubt in saying this will be the only GT on PS4 and the first time a generation will only have one GT entry.

FWIW and IMO, Sport is a much better game in terms of what it aims to be. What was GT6 supposed to be?

Its not even a GT6...

If GTS continues getting periodic support it could eventually get there. Feeling optimistic. GT League is starting to shape up quite nicely now.

The more niche events in past GT campaigns I miss though. Goodwood, Sierra Time Rally, Senna Tribute and even the moon events made for a welcome change. So much love for Sierra, got to be my single favourite piece of DLC ever. The perfect blend of game and sim.

I’ll say this though, the racing I’ve had in Sport mode is some of the best I’ve ever encountered. For that alone GTS deserves credit.
 
There are a few things to consider here. The GT series has released 2 GTs per console. Notably GT6 being released just 3 days prior to the release of the PS4 so it could just scrape into the PS3 life span.

The next is that the PS5 is rumoured to be backwards compatible, that is it will play PS4 games and *IF* this is the case then PD doesn't need to keep running with tradition.

The next thing is IIRC Kaz even rumoured there would be a GT Sport 2, so this becomes the possibility for the PS5 release and Sony wanting to have a premium title with VR at launch.

Now that we have these things in mind what would be the point of having two titles running at the same time? GT7 and GT Sport(2?) would be competing with each other and as such split he player base and may even hurt sales.

So IMHO it will be one or the other. Since it is now so easy to add content either title could be made to have attributes of the other and can be made into whatever PD wants or the player base demands.

As already pointed out above, if PD was to introduce a GT7 then that would make it appear GT Sport to be a mistake and we all know how PD likes to shut it's servers down shortly after a new title release >:-(

So one or the other, not both and my bet will be GT Sport 2 as the next title and we may even have a Mars Lander Buggy to race around cones as well ;-)

My $0.02 worth.
 
Sport was never meant to be a main-series game. It was always just an experiment in bringing clean online racing to the masses. I think expecting a whole numbered game's worth of stuff was a little unfair given the context of this game's development.

It reminds me of the hardcore fans hating on the new Pokémon game coming out in 2018 because it doesn't have all the features of a mainline game, despite being a side-project of sorts.
 
Hmm, IMO, for it to turn into GT7 (which I still think that it's what they're doing currently through updates), it just needs GT Auto, championship point races, and new Daiki Kasho songs, plus a new opening and ending movie. Everything else, I don't really care much about. I mean, GT3 had only 20 locations and 120+ cars, and I still loved it. *shrug*
