No wonder the update isn't out, someone turned the cooker off.

Actually, it’s wireless. Server is down.

Surely Kaz has got himself an air fryer by now?

System update just hit my PS5. Don't those usually/sometimes precede a game update?

Everyone might wanna pop one o' them hypium/hopium/copium tablets!

 

[Famine]

Not directly, no:

PS5 FW 7.2 - April 20
GT7 1.32 - April 27 [content]
GT7 1.33 - May 11
GT7 1.34 - May 25 [content]
PS5 FW 7.4 - June 7
GT7 1.35 - June 29 [content]
PS5 FW 7.6 - July 20
GT7 1.36 - August 7 [content]
PS5 FW 7.61 - August 10
GT7 1.37 - August 31
PS5 FW 8.0 - September 13
GT7 1.38 - September 28 [content]
GT7 1.39 - October 13

That's the last five PS5 firmware updates, and as you can see they may all be followed by GT7 updates but the period varies greatly from a week (the smallest interval) to three weeks (the largest). Moreover, not all of these GT7 updates are content updates (1.37) and not all GT7 updates are preceded by a PS5 FW update (1.33, 1.34, 1.39).

My 918 "Spider" in one of the locations I saw most this week. Good luck to the franchise!

(I'm sure you noticed the Empire State Building in the background...)

I made this simple tribute above within the Gran Turismo to this other great Sony franchise and I was laughing when I saw the GT7 alongside Spider Man in Vinicuis Jr's video. (Insomniac will make a special suit for him).

And maybe even a Sous Vide.

I can't smell what's cooking yet...

Just 4 days until the 4th anniversary of Gran Turismo's best Hallowe'en: GT Sport 1.47.
The day that brought Spa, the diesel Demio, the Red Pig, the Taycan and the Aventador SV!

Short of a sudden "jumpscare" update, I don't think this 31/10 will match 2019's, as it's looking like 1.40 will come in early November, much like the 1.36 Julaugust update. Fingers crossed for an AZ-1 or something else cool this Octember.

In any case, it will definitely not arrive after November. It's 100% sure that the update is on the next month, most likely on the first Thursday of the month, if not later on. That said, it won't be later than late November

 

[Gtsport28]

nenkai had the source 1 month in advance ??? I will say Monday 30/10 or Thursday 09/11 before the PS5 slim release !!!

 

[GTP_reddevil]

Now it’s most unlikely but I wonder if his tweet has “annoyed” PD and are therefore delaying it as punishment?

Again to reiterate, this is probably most unlikely but just a small theory…

No.

Hard to delay what never had a release date!

More likely they have run into some late in process quality assurance issues.
If it is indeed a big update, it likely contains new functionality. If they discovered quality issues late before the release, that could explain a delay.
But as PD never ever lowers itself to the point of communicating with their customers, we will never know.

Like, um... 2 Player Split-screen not working as intended?

Absolutely baseless speculation given there was no date or even an update announced.
The most likely scenario is that they never intended to release an update this month.

Why are we calling this a delay?

[Nebuc72]

Hey. I feel like I have a base for my speculation hence it’s not baseless.
I was also talking about leakers in general.

Either way it’s not the point and also not the gotcha moment you seem to think it is.

Peace.

Edit:

All sorted. The nefarious character in question is not a twitter user, so no need to drag this through the mud. I'm sure the perceptive can figure out who that 'other' may be.

 

[GlamFM]

Considering he has said in this forum he does it to bridge a gap in communication for the community, I would say that yes, assuming the worst of their character is baseless and if anything is just downright rude.
And don't act like you are talking in general when your initial comment specifies 'this' community.

I bet the new functionalities are B-spec and full implementation of Sophy AI

Could it be real??

Seems legit.

 

[happycorey]

Honestly it's not real but they are really well done lol

 

[Dave A]

It looks like they are edited screenshots from Asetto Corsa mods to me.

 

[Raf997]

I think it's legit

 

[Dave A]

Good for you. I don't.

 

[Nakano219]

It's definitely not legit. It's a good mock-up, but the font is wrong. If you look at any update trailer that's had a 911 in it, the "1" in the font Polyphony uses is different than the one used for the 911 GT1 in that post.

 

[TumeK5]

People are gullible lol

 

[MatskiMonk]

No.
