What is wrong with that guy? Did he not know what Nenkai does?
This person is not on their first time being part of the skeptics, unfortunately.

But a simple response anyway - it's hard, even for me, to gauge the state of content and work that's being made from bits here and there, sometimes it happens completely invisible to me, and this is the case. This is nothing new to anything related to PDI.

If I do decide to hype like I just did, it's warranted and I am in absolute confidence.

It's only a few days away.

I thank you for your work. You're doing a hell of a good job in informing us the players rather than PD themselves.
 
There’s no way that there won’t be something interesting revealed sometime around the World Final, which I think is being held near the end of this month.

EDIT: Not to mention that I hear the FIAGTCs are (or at least might be) coming back next year. Not sure if that could mean anything beyond branding, though. I sort of wonder if the official timekeeper partnership is only for when the FIAGTCs are on? I mean, I think it was roughly around the same time we saw the last FIAGTC event and the dropping of the TAG-Heuer branding. I hear TAG-Heuer watches aren’t even that great, anyway. How ‘bout we see Citizen become the timekeeper, instead? Or maybe even the return of Seiko…

It's leaking!!

What a strange hill for that Simon fella to perch himself on. Seems like bitterness or something that Nenkai doesn't just leak the entire list of things in development. Either that or he doesn't believe in the things he's releasing?

Both would be completely ignorant takes, but I don't see why else he'd leave a snarky comment like that, it's a very weird look.
I mean, would you want to get sued?
 
You don't think getting a Gold pass is enough?

No other reward.
Well, to be fair, it’s one of the only things you can do when you’re not connected to the servers, so I understand why they wouldn’t be interested in offering much of a prize.
 
39.87% finished it, that's not bad at all, it's a huge game.

63.6% doing 10 races or finishing in the top 3 10 times isn't anything special, you'd expect most players would acheive both of those within the first couple of hours of play.

Chapter 1 of RDR2 takes a couple of hours and has an 83.73% completed ratio. You want to look at longevity, not players who play for a few hours then switch off and never switch on again.

Only 19.3% of GT7 players have driven more than 2451 miles in the game. It shouldn't take that long to acheive that if you play a game regularly for a couple of weeks but it does evidence someone who is playing fairly regularly for a few weeks at least. By contract, 39.87% of players completed the epilogue of RDR2 while 47.40% completed chapter 5.
Are you using a trophy tracking website for those %? Those are always skewed towards singleplayer games. If you want the accurate numbers you have to check in the console (where RDR2 has 26.8% for the epilogue, and GT7 on PS4 28.9% for completing the Cafe). Unfortunately I don't have a PS5 so I can't check GT7 PS5 numbers.

Seems like I am.
 
I wonder what he means by "should be same schedule as last month"
Last time it was a week early, but, considering Thursday is the update day, this time the "week early" for the update will be 17th, which means tomorrow we may already get silhouettes? And if the update is 24th then it would be pretty much the regular schedule. Also, was kinda expecting the update to be pushed back this time, so they can announce it during World Tour livestream, but I guess not.
Next week is 4 weeks since the last update,fingers crossed,but this is PD....
 
Am I the only person who didn't have Cape Ring and wouldn't be disappointed if that arrived? I know it won't be but I thought it was a cool track with a tonne of layouts.

In terms of famous flips, Road Atlanta, Valencia Street, Silverstone, Indianapolis.

Silverstone and the return of the W08?
 
If it turns out to be Road Atlanta, I'd be kind of disappointed even though I like this track. I say this because PD should definitely alternate between adding real and original tracks, and since Watkins Glen is what came last time around, it would be the perfect time for Grand Valley. Then, if Road Atlanta is really the one, we'll have to wait until who knows when for another new track after that and pray it's an original one. Tough times to be a classic original track fan.

Just did the wtc 800 1 hour race at spa and wow what a blast at times i thought i was watching a wec live race with the ds controller in my hands that hour felt like 10 minutes. :)

All the little touches like the blue lights and marshal waving the blue flag to the blinking rain lights on my gr10 to a car spinning out to a few yellow flags so cool.

Question is rain random in this race cause it rain 2 times on me in fact 80% of the race was rain.

GT players will never be happy.

Road Atlanta might even be more likely, since its considered michelin's "baby".
 
Honestly, Road Atlanta is just another generic race track that this game has too many of. We need variety not quantity. Where are the Eiger Nordwand/Matterhorn style tracks, the city courses and small sized tracks for racing karts? Road Atlanta will be new to the game but it'll just feel like more of the same. Perhaps those adamant for Real tracks enjoy the same old, but I miss the mass variety of tracks that GT4 and GT6 had.
 
I am wondering if it's a current track we already have, just reversed (aka flipped).

Though I hope not, a new track will be very welcome.

Exactly. The mountain and city styled tracks I miss so much.
