What is the point of showing of new car and tracks???

[zlays]

When theres no word of them beyond trailer (new nsx trailer)?

I believe they do that as promotional material for the car company to get more interest in that brand, who in turn pays PD to do it. It's all about the money

Well, we can argue about the *point* from perspective of interested GT series players.

From promotional point - and those 2 videos primary cause was showing a 2 different cars, made by 2 different manufacturers for the purpose of promotion for the car show - the *point* was to show those cars.

We can now imagine 35 theories about "who", "why" and "when", but there will never be an answer.

History of *promotional videos* made in GT5 engine teaches us how there is plethora of content we still haven't be able to *use* in the game. Most famous are probably Madrid Circuit without barriers, El Capitan track remade for GTPSP trailer and Warehouse location from GT5 main menu. And there are more then 10 more.

Not much more to say after that other than it sure keeps this place busy for a time.

I assume it's to get people hyped as hell for the next DLC.

But there is an issue with how they do it.

They leave too much of a gap between suggesting it's existance and actually releasing it.

This means that everyone gets hyped, and then by the time it's out, the hype as gone and everyone starts doubting the DLC.

Well Pd is known for being late product release. If it's late we won't be too surprised because it usually happens.

PD above all else is a "3D Graphic Design" company, I'm willing to bet you see more CGI stuff, car related & otherwise, out there from the PD 3D/Art/Rendering department then we all realize.

It's there to show you what you'll never get. Jks but like te other guy said, it's not as much there for the gt5 players, rather for the manufacturer that employed/partnered up to to a promotional thing
