Senna content coming soon?

[SlipZtrEm]

You're ruining the quality of a decent forum while you're at it.

An attempt to turn this thread into another of the endless FM vs GT threads two pages ago was hardly a better choice, was it?

...I'd be surprised if the game content arrives with the slideshows. I mean, that'd be great for PD - every week without an update is another lost chunk of audience - but the announcement, to me, felt as if there'll be a gradual release of various media over the month*.

* Well, ideally

AAAAAANNNNYYYYWAYS! less than a week until the first slideshow comes out. I wonder if we'll see content at the same time? Probably not as it will probably show up after the second one...but it would be nice.

Unfortunately not.

From the Senna Tribute webpage:

A special "Ayrton Senna Tribute" section has been opened on 1 May 2014 in gran-turismo.com, 20 years after the passing of Senna. Here you can follow the life of Senna through trailers and a 2-parts slideshows, leading up to the release of even more content in the second half of May. We sincerely hope you will be joining Gran Turismo 6 in following the footsteps of one of the greatest racing drivers in history, who still lives strong in the hearts of many today.

The slideshows lead up to the new content, so they have to be before the new content. We won't see any new content until after the second slideshow on the 19th, and I wouldn't expect them to release the new content until the next week, on the 26th.

They delivered an incomplete game, they're taking their sweet time "completing" it, and they've reneged on a few things that they said would happen.

They did that in 2010 with GT5, after nearly 5 years of development time. For at least 2 years, they said they "could release at any time", but delivered a game that didn't blow me away like previous titles did, It took PD a year before DLC finally came.

We are 6 months into GT6 and more stuff has been added since that time compared to GT5 in this stage of it's life.

I still have hope for the GT series.

I've been through this in a couple of other threads, although possibly not with you.

I don't believe that the volume of what was added to GT5 is significantly different to what has been added to GT6. What's more, I feel that the early updates to GT5 addressed some really key deficiencies with the game, and the early updates to GT6 really haven't.

GT5 updates added features. GT6 updates have added (mostly) content. GT5 needed those extra features. GT6 really didn't need more content, not considering that by almost any measure it's down on features compared to GT5 anyway.

There's still hope, but a distinct feeling that PD are paddling in the wrong direction entirely. The Senna content is unfortunately another example. It's going to be great to have it, but it's unlikely to help fix the deficiencies of the game in any way.

Unless it's a staggeringly fresh take on a career mode, running through the rise of a racing driver to the very highest peaks of motorsport that just happens to parallel a certain famous and tragically deceased driver's career, providing a real challenge to all levels of players, engaging gameplay, and maybe some interesting history on the race series and competitors presented in an interesting and entertaining fashion.

That'd be lovely, but I sort of doubt it.

Please, stop embarrassing yourself.

You're presuming he's crying. From your last few posts you've done nothing but post unhelpful and almost trolling comments. Please, if you want to contribute something helpful please don't, but if not, just stop please.

 

[Haitauer]

couldnt find the whining and crying -thread, but i guess this is turning into one anyways.

What i have come to think of the situation at PD is that they have reached the same point Nokia reached few years back and Apple might just be reaching - a point where the people of the company are so satisfied and gratified of the things they have achieved, that they just stop striving for more. That is a road to devastation. (or to windows phone and to microsoft - in Nokias case)

I think in PDs case the point was GT4 - they saw it was good and so they kept doing the same thing over and over again.

"contentment kills development.."

So you thought you'd add to that. Ok then. I find it hard to believe you couldn't find this BTW: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/the-gt6-epic-whining-and-crying-thread.282208/

...it's so hidden away. At the top of the first page in the Reviews & Feedback sub-forums.

because everyone else is complaining about how the new car is gonna suck and how nothing else is gonna be able to compete with it do you guys realize how stupid you look when you say stuff like that of course nothing else will be able to compete with it there is nothing else like it in the game currently. @GranTurismoGuy if you saw this post then you would see that I'm one of the only ones not complaining.

Use a comma or something!

Lotus 97T. Autumn Ring. Fun.

 

[Samus]

Or just stop going on about whether the Lotus will be able to drive with other cars. You're like a broken, trolling record.

I know, right? I've contributed nothing but reaction gifs in this thread lately, but I couldn't resist posting that one after that.

@Izzyracer97 do you realise how stupid you look at the moment? I urge you to stop this. At the moment you just come across as a troll. And a bad one at that.

I've contributed nothing

Fixed for you.

Now, can we get back to the topic please?

 

[JogoAsobi]

I remembered a video I had seen back when I lived in Japan...

Senna & Nakajima driving Mugen CRX EF8 & Honda Cvic EF9 N1 @ Suzuka West

The Mugen CRX in video is similar to the (lower spec) '90 SiR in GT5/GT6.
The Civic EF9 Hatchback can be seen via the link in my signature.



This thread is about Senna content, we don't have Suzuka West or the EF9.
Dreaming about a Senna Honda EF challenge event @ Suzuka West.

 

[86Debris86]

Fixed for you.

Now, can we get back to the topic please?

What an honour to be singled out from that crowd. Thank you.

Fair enough. But nothing? Nothing at all? I was just trying to lighten the mood a little and make a few people laugh.

As for on topic. I doubt it. This thread goes more off topic than... than... well something that goes off topic lots. But I'm sure we'll try.

If they were able to alter the JPS livery just enough to pass tobacco laws, they should do it for the XJR-9 as well.

And how would you propose the Non-Tobacco alternative to what they did?

Like this?

They did, didn't they? Does it say Silk Cut anywhere on it?

The "TLS" livery looks quite nice though. I think I prefer it to the original.

 

[GTPorsche]

BTW, "Team Lotus Special" has been used before on Non-Tobacco JPS cars for die-cast purposes.

I knew I'd seen it before 👍. I have one of those (similar anyway) in my old bedroom at my Mums house FFS . It looks much better than the JPS sponsorship anyway. Not really an option when you're a racing team and you want funding though.

I'd be interested to see what any other of Senna's cars that may be added will look like too. The Camels on the 99T for instance would obviously have to go. If his McLaren was somehow added, would the red triangle alone be considered as part of the cigarette sponsorship?
