It was an example. I didn't directly say you said that either.
An example of what? I'd like to know who this person was that didn't get the car they wanted and then declared it the worst game ever.
 
What's really amusing in regards to the ride height is that they got it wrong in GT5, fixed it to a degree, then turn around and make the very same mistake in GT6. :lol: What's even more hilarious is, they had help/support from K&W and they still couldn't get the suspension physics right. :lol: Same with the tires and their partnership with Yokohama. I'm beginning to wonder if they even have a clue. Like you have said, they have 15 years of experience in doing this, you would think they could at least get the basics right. Tuning a car in this game is just a joke in my opinion. PD has made themselves look like fools more than once, all the while claiming to be "The Real Driving Simulator". If it wasn't for the Academy and also the friends I have made here in GT, I'd been gone a long time ago. I'm just about ready to say 🤬 it anyway.


So Mitch, will there be blood on the steering wheel for GT Academy '15? Or have you lost your fervour for the game? Sounds like you may have toned down your marathon daily sessions. You still have your practice quote. I never thought I'd see your last sentence!!!
 
With E3 right around the corner, I think GT7 isn't too far-fetched an assumption. It's been almost a year and a half since GT6, it's about time for the next entry to be unveiled... especially in light of its supposed 2015/2016 release date.
 
@Lain I'm not going rule out the possibility of an E3 reveal. It seems likely.

***BEWARE OF SPECULATION & ASSUMPTIONS HERE***

The PS4, since it's hardware is way different to the PS3's in a good way and it apparently results in quicker development turn-around times. Paired-up with the now growing employee count at PD and Kaz's recent statements , I wouldn't be surprised if we'll have a COMPLETE GT7 by mid next year. End of 2015 is pushing it but I'm expecting delays as well. PS4 seems to be keeping the spirit of delays alive.

/END SPECULATION

I keep wondering to myself what PD has planned. Particularly since the competition has stepped its game up (Lol, puns..)

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
 
My guess is that it some new content to come to the game or DLC. Like if the physics were improved, or people get course creator, or for me to get Speed Test would make me play GT6 a lot more. But I'm not sure people would consider Speed test DLC or physics upgrade a "Big thing"

Things like ride height, camber, spring rate, damping, toe and aerodynamics would have to be fixed to work to an extent that made GT5 fun to play around with on cars and make it FUN again. I mean I would giver PD a noble prize to fix the physics for goodness sake.

Course creator many many people want in GT6 and this would be considered a "Big Thing" too. I didn't see myself as a fan originally but I remember hanging out in cruise rooms or cops vs citizens lobbies. And then I remember the course maker being responsible for some of these wicked maps. So that would fun from a pure driving enjoyment perspective.

The Speed Test or acceleration test dlc was what made me play GT5 a lot. Because being able to have working car physics to the extent it worked in GT5 I could top speed test cars again and have fun making drag tunes in which I can take 0.0010 of drag tune and times. This one function will make me retune and replay GT6 a lot. This would be a "Big thing" for me.

Or maybe it's some NEWS on GT7 or a teaser trailer of some kind. From Lucas Ordonez point of view it could be a new game mode for GT racing academy to be integrated into GT6 or it could be a new LMP car coming to the game. Hey what if its news or development on Virtual reality and virtual reality coming to GT6. Maybe not nah I can't see it being this.

I really hope its one of the things I've mentioned in my post. I can't see what else can be regarded as a "Big thing". I don't regard Vision GT as being a "Big thing" in my opinion. I would laugh out loud hysterically if it was boat racing, or bikes coming to GT6 or some water map built into the course of a track. Like nobody would see that coming.

Maybe it will be something like I've just mentioned. It could be something so outlandish that nobody would see it coming. Thinking out of the box with all my ideas here. It certainly goes where nobody else has cared to tread yet. With all these ideas being so out there the hype train might actually reach orbit and into space we go to the Moon Buggy once again. :lol:

The most likely scenario is that Lucas is providing feedback on the dynamics of the Zytek-Nissan Z11SN Greaves Motorsport '13. Why would he be required to test a Course Creator? I assume that would be handled in-house by PD's team of testers.

I will stick to the Zytek-Nissan Z11SN Greaves Motorsport '13 which we wil probably see as he final round of GT Academy this year.

No sneaky editing done here. Not even a bit...

They have those? :confused: I wasn't aware that they tested anything before putting it out. :sly: :p :lol: Testers? Could have fooled me, I'll be damned. :lol:
 
Maybe an AI or physics engine refresh? Or the new FIA online cahmpionship? Or even the endurance races addition with Lucas testing tire degradation? These are my guesses as they need some professional opinion to reassure their progress in either of them.

I've boarded the hype train for Project CARS. Seats are still available.

(As expected, nothing to see here. PD productive = more VGT videos :odd:)

Yea, I don't normally board hype trains, but I am kinda excited to see what PCars brings to the table. I'll probably buy my Xbox here in a few weeks for Forza and PCars. Going to have to buy the whole shebang, wheel, rig, ect. but what the hell, its only money, right. :dopey: I'm in no hurry to buy a PS4 since GT7 is still a ways away and I won't be making 7 a day one purchase anyway. I've lost to much faith in them (PD) to blindly throw money their way.....going to wait and read the reviews first this time around to actually see if its worth my money.

PC architecture is easier to program with, but at the same time games are far bigger in scope and more complex than ever and in the grand scheme of things the overall programming effort keeps getting bigger and bigger, not smaller. If you've ever read the build notes for PCars, it's insane that amount of work they do in a day or two and the number of different items they touch on in each and every build.:crazy:
 
It depends on just how far they decide to go with GT7.

For instance, they could be "well, the course editor we tried to make for GT6 will be a (relative) snap to implement on the PS4... let's do it!" or they could be "well, the course editor we tried to make for GT6 will be a snap to implement on the PS4... so why settle for just what we had planned? Let's make it even more complex and ambitious!!!"

Judging by GT5/6, it will be the latter. Judging by GT5/6, the ambition won't be realized (*cough* course editor) or poorly realized (*cough* B-spec). :indiff:
 
Lets deconstruct his tweet and translate:

Another long and productive day at Polyphony studio = so this is not a one time deal, he has done it before and will continue working...

with more testing and development = so whatever this is, it is still not done , not completed and not yet ready for reveal...

for something really big! = whatever this is... it must be entirely new or something we all have been waiting for a long time...

2morrow [Japanese] MotorSportevent = might not even be related to his testing and contribution at PoDi...

I will let the hyper train take its course from here...

Lol Hypetrain! ITS HAPPENING!!!!

I think its probably just the inclusion of more cars that GT Academy winners drive... Possibly a GT Academy DLC pack.

Most likely the Nissan LMP1, but I think they might add other GT Academy cars, like that 370z that races at Dubai and more liveries of the GT3/SP9 GTR :D. (hmm Maybe they are building Dubai too? :O)

Edit I was Bop testing GT4 SUPRISE MAINTAINENCE

1.18 HAS JUST DROPPED!

Speaking of the tire deal they have I'm shocked that after 15 years they still ignore air pressure, but that may be a good thing as one can only imagine what kind of absurdities would come along with air pressure tuning
 
1.18 wouldn't have been what Lucas was involved with over the weekend since the process for approving game updates takes somewhere in the range of 2 weeks to complete through Sony.

It could likely be for the final round of GT Academy.
 
Like stated, it's either for the final round, or GT7. still think it's GT7 which was rumored to be revealed next month.
 
Well I mentioned in my post above that it could be the GT Academy mode built into GT6. I also mentioned a number of things including vision gt cars. But then I said I didn't believe vision gt cars are big enough. So maybe this is what Lucas Ordonez was talking about.

If it is GT7 well there is this quote from Kaz. “For GT7, myself and my staff have a clear vision: to do everything we couldn’t do in GT6. We want to make it very Gran Turismo. By that I mean it’s going to be a game that matches the very era that we live in, in 2015 or 2016.” Source - http://gamerant.com/gran-turismo-7-ps4-release-date-driveclub-issues/

So theres a possibility GT7 could be shown off at this years E3. And it could be released this years christmas holiday season. I'll give a good guess and say its news, a trailer, or a game demo they will show off very soon. I'm not betting on it though. It could just as likely be 2016 when the game is released.

Well even if the game is shown off at E3 2016 instead of this years. Do you think we will get news, information, trailers on the game a year before its release?

I'm hoping for it to be revealed next month. But, I've heard this for the first time now. Can I get the source, please? :)
