Subaru's Isle of Man Record Holder Potentially Coming to Future Gran Turismo Title

This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

Subaru's Isle of Man Record Holder Potentially Coming to Future Gran Turismo Title
A Polyphony Digital employee may have just spilled the beans on the super-Scooby's inclusion in the GT franchise.

This article was published by Josh Steele (@SVX) on January 12th, 2017 in the Gran Turismo Sport category.

Nice! That is one serious machine and one I am looking forward to trying to get to grips with.

So is this somewhat confirmation that the IoM track will be in the game too?

No, we have Pikes Peak cars buuuut.....

No Pikes Peak.

 

[Robbks]

It's nothing more than confirmation that a Race Version of the STi will be in the game.
And we already know that in GR3, GR4 and GRN

Yeah.
They got to mile 17, then this happend.

 

[BLADErunner80]

So this is being treated as confirmation?

Because PD employees are incapable of sarcasm?

Obviously this car is in the game, it has a sticker on it!

"Potentially"

 

[xyloscissor]

I'd rather see the track but I'm strange that way, cool car nonetheless 👍

IF you showed four cars with GT stickers on them, then MAYBE you would have validated your point.

Two of those are Porsches which have until very recently been licence restricted and the Opel could be deemed to old to be worth the effort for current GT games.

I get what what you are saying though.

 

[ZEROTHEKNIGHT]

It'll be cool for this Subaru to be available in custom color selection
So we can make our own versions of this machine X)

 

[karelpipa]

SOON

 

[gregorius93]

I love this car.

 

[AudiMan2011]

The only way I can see that this Subaru would come to GT is if, and it's a big if, the Isle of Man track is included and both are used in a special time trial event where players try to recreate the current lap record for a car on the TT course. There is no way in hell I can see this thing in GTS.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

No(t yet).

(To be clear, I have no idea if Snaefell will be included. There are signs pointing to it potentially happening, but that's all).

We must've missed that bit, can you point us to it?

What reason would there be for sarcasm? How many of those cars have been accompanied by a post by a Polyphony member saying they would be playable in a future GT game?

...

As @SVX pointed out, this isn't a complete confirmation — the word "potentially" was in the headline, but it's been slightly reformatted for page design reasons, so we inserted a question mark to drive the point home.

Personally, this almost raises more questions than it answers. It's an odd car that doesn't really fit with the general thrust of GT Sport (at least, not what we've seen so far). Adding the IoM course would be an even stranger choice: it's not really a track for racing, so including it in a game with a mission statement revolving around eSports strikes me as counter-intuitive. At 37.73 miles, it'll be very off-putting to casuals looking for a quick event, and with the amount of time needed to model it up to typical PD standards, I feel like numerous other tracks could be done instead (especially as GT Sport will have a relatively low track count).

NOPE..... Window visor stickers alone do not certify inclusion, bodywork/bumper stickers must also be adorned for assured availability in a future game.

So, just because a car has GT stickers/window decals on it means it is going to be in GT at some point? If that's the case, then I can't wait for Aaron Kaufmann's Falcon that he used in "Fast n Loud's" Pikes Peak episode to be in the game.

Did you read the article?

Yea, I sure did. I was being a smart-ass though so, thanks for playing....show him what he's won Jim.

Unless it is officially announced as such, don't hold your breath about anything.

Think about the Manufacturer's Cup. It might be like that for most models.

There MAY be FF only, awd only, rwd only. GT3 is a rwd only category. Maybe the WRX & Lancer are rwd in Gr.3.

Oddly, Carter's Instagram post makes no reference to any of those models.

Again, can you point me to where he confirmed that's what he means?

I've never said that HE has confirmed anything.
He's doing nothing more than highlighting that some version of a Subaru Impreza, WRX, STi, etc will be driveable in the game.
Which IS confirmed in the models pointed out.

You really have a bee in your bonnet lately pointing out the most stupid things.

 

[crooky369]

GT Sport is day 1 for me if it includes the full IOM TT course. I've only ridden it on the shonky Suzuki TT game for PS2 (but through bad PS3 emulation) at about 15fps but even then it was amazing.

 

[ZeeMax72]

One serious machine
Hope that they can add the Isleof Man track, that will be mind blowing.

The caption on the image is ambiguous: that's the point of the article.

It could mean the specific IoM record holder. It could mean any VA-gen WRX. You've said it's a confirmation of the latter (well, race-ready versions of it), so I'm asking what additional source you have on that, since it'd clear the whole thing up.

I'm sorry you find the importance of the meaning of words "stupid".
