Not surprised at all.
In normal times, it gets delayed already.
With an unprecedented pandemic, why would be expecting otherwise?
I honestly would be very surprised if it was the reversed, GT7 released...
Soon postponed!
Back to regular programming y'all...

So I guess now we enter the "Pretend it was never announced, nothing to see here" phase. We've seen it before with delays like this for other games and movies that only have a small teaser so far. With release so far off there is no reason to promote it and run new trailers, it's too far out to build hype. So they just ignore it entirely for a while. I mean, they've essentially been doing that the past few months anyway.
Then they just "re-announce" the game a year down the line as if it's totally newly revealed and start the promo from scratch.
In short, don't expect to see or hear anything on GT7 until the end of the year at the very earliest, maybe even early 2022. Depends on when in 2022 they're targetting, but I can't see it being any earlier than March.
EDIT: Oh also can't help but continue to chortle at those who looked at the initial trailer with menus as a sign the game could be ready by holiday 2020. Oh boy were they wrong, as we kept trying to tell them.

Kind of funny the interview was from GQ. Sony probably didn't see that coming.
Thanks to the writer for the direct question.https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/playstation-vr-jim-ryan-interview-2021
Not exactly much depth though in terms of content. ACC is good for what it is, but what it is is of course pretty focused.
Really hope the EA/CM acquisition goes well because it's seemingly our best hope for a steady stream of varied racing games that we desperately need. Not this year obviously, too soon for that, but hopefully 2022 onwards is pretty prosperous.
Remember the PS1 and PS2 days, you couldn't move for racing titles. Arcade, simulation, race cars, road cars, rally, there was everything. Even PS3 was pretty good, but since PS4 pickings have got seriously slim and now the only currently announced tarmac racing game for PS5 has been delayed to 2022.
Not good for racing fans on console.

Unlikely. The whole reason they stopped in the first place was to allow them to work more on GT7. Shifting focus back to GTS is just going to delay it further.

What's funny is that this is what always happens - not just with Sony (though Sony is among the more aggressive in limiting questions for things it's not ready to reveal the answers to; this isn't a bad thing, it's them doing their job) but with any important person at any large company. You ask a question that's not necessarily in the brief and a PR handler jumps in before you've even finished asking and shuts the question down.
We have a member who repeatedly bitches at us (here and on social media) for not asking the questions he thinks we should ask, and he just doesn't get that this is what happens when you do (but actually he did interviews at university and actually it was fine actually). I've been closed down more times than I care to remember (again, not just by Sony) because the handlers won't allow that line of questioning.
Here it seems that Sony PR did not want that question asked, or answered, at the time, and has provided a carefully considered statement later on.

Sony did a big mistake to only focus on one racing studio. Okay, PD is the most promiment racing brand, but evolution studios with Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Driveclub after updates would certainly done a good job, too. Maybe, Sony should have think to hire Codemasters studioNot exactly much depth though in terms of content. ACC is good for what it is, but what it is is of course pretty focused.

In all fairness, most of us should be able to get a PS5 by then, so I'm cool with it.
Wish PD would release at least one classic GT title on the PS Store though.

Is anyone expecting GT7 to be more than just GT Sport with a proper career mode?
