what kind of comment is this?, maby i'm misunderstanding???
They have said that the VR upgrade is PS5 only so I think some people have misinterpreted this as they are no longer supporting PS4?!

If we look at the GT News page it says that the VR support will be in Update 1.29 and we are currently on 1.27 so 1.28 appears to be missing, but could it be that 1.28 is a regular PS4&5 content update and 1.29 is the PS5 specific VR update??

yes indeed, i understand, it was more the "Nice finally they ditch the ps4 support." from @opelman that raised my eyebrows
but ofcourse there we be a pref by PD for the next gen, i'm curious how long they actually will support before i have to buy a PS5 :lol:

Thanks! But let be honest, they didn't add anything in the last 2 months, pretty sure they are working on getting VR in a decent state... I don't believe "the day one" thing....if the same is full of bugs, like after almost a year lobbies are still not working properly.
Anyway hope this make the game better.
Agree. Lobbies are a mess. I would be happy with just fixing all the known issues in an update.
 
What makes you think that we are only getting a VR update and no new content to go with it?
They had to skip 1.28 just to get PSVR2 compat working for launch. What makes you think they had time/resources to also add content outside it?

And if the content schedule was uninterrupted by PSVR2, why didn't they just release the update in Jan? Sure, Christmas break but surely a AAA studio of a live service game would have planned for it?

They might still throw the 1.28 content in with 1.29, but maybe not.
 
They wouldn’t build 1.28 if there wasn’t anything in it. It may not be content but they wouldn’t create a new build for the game and not use it otherwise the VR update would be 1.28
 
If they add Pikes Peak I'll go out and buy PSVR2 immediately (and accept the subsequent divorce from my wife)
You will spend over $600 just if they add Pikes Peak??! , personally I cannot justify the expense for a PS5 just for one game and then add more $$ for the PSVR (and probably you spent $1000 on the wheel rig and seat? ), all for one game?

Maybe you can’t, but some can. It’s the experience. It’ll be different now. Being able to experience it in 3D, rather than on a flat tv screen. It’s going to add to the immersion. If it’s the closest console players can get to reality, it’ll be an invaluable experience, for those players. Can’t put a price on someone’s personal enjoyment.
 
At minimum, even if there's no new content, there should be at least new events added monthly. Also it's time to remove the level 50 ceiling.
Adding new events should be the easiest thing they can do (the content already there), only imagination should be the limit.
 
They wouldn’t build 1.28 if there wasn’t anything in it. It may not be content but they wouldn’t create a new build for the game and not use it otherwise the VR update would be 1.28
Its very likely it failed in testing so 1.29 is the planned 1.28 content plus a bug fix to solve the identified error. Happens a lot in software development !

It's so weird that people are obsessing over the "missing" 1.28 and what might have been in it.

There wasn't a 1.22 either - 1.21 came as a bugfix in early September, 1.23 as a content update in late September. There also wasn't a 1.14, with 1.13 and 1.15 coming as "monthly" content updates in April and May. And pre-content, 1.10 was skipped, in a period of just two weeks between updates (and 11 days to the subsequent one)...


1.09 - March 25 (Bugs/Changes)
1.10 - Nope
1.11 - April 7 (Bugs/Changes)
1.12 - April 18 (Bugs/Changes)
1.13 - April 25 (Content)
1.14 - Nope
1.15 - May 26 (Content)
1.16 - June 9 (Bugs)
1.17 - June 23 (Content)
1.18 - July 6 (Bugs)
1.19 - July 28 (Content)
1.20 - August 25 (Content)
1.21 - September 1 (Bugs)
1.22 - Nope
1.23 - September 29 (Content)

There's no indication any of these "missing" updates had anything in them either.
 
Those "missing" updates didn't skip a month though.
Even if that was meaningful, and it isn't, one of them skipped a week in a period when there was quite literally an update a week (and, thanks to 1.07, sometimes one every 36 hours):

1.05 - March 3/launch
1.06 - March 10
1.07/1.08 - March 17/March 18
1.09 - March 25
1.10 - (March 31; didn't happen, oh no missing week)
1.11 - April 7

1.15 was then the first update not to appear a week after the previous one, taking an entire month after 1.13 - which of course missed out 1.14. Was that a skipped week/fortnight?

Did we get all the content/changes/fixes 1.10 or 1.14 were supposed to deliver in 1.11/1.15? We don't know because we don't know anything about how PD decides its version numbers.


There's little reason to suppose that 1.28 was planned, had stuff in it, and then didn't arrive for some reason - particularly as it came and went very neatly a month after Yamauchi said updates have only been monthly because they have and not because they were designed to be, and could be more or less frequent.

People believing wholeheartedly that there's 3-5 cars from January/1.28 coming as well as 3-5 cars from February/1.29 are setting themselves up for disappointment; it'd be great, but it's a notion fundamentally built on nothing. Similarly, those people believing 1.29 is VR2 and VR2 only and PS4 support has ended and whatever else has been said are just pointlessly doom-mongering.


All we know is 1.29 will bring PSVR2 support for PS5 players. Anything else is, at this point, is purest speculation.

What I believe in all seriousness is that if PD had content lined up for a supposed Jan/1.28 update, then they would have released it already.

So, expecting Feb/1.29 to be a "big" update outside of PSVR2 (i.e. two updates' worth of content rolled into one) is just copium. They either didn't have anything planned for Jan or they're behind schedule and the content isn't ready. Either way, PD's not going to somehow magic up more stuff out of thin air.

I think the version numbers are tied to builds that make it to internal testing, not builds that make it out to us. After the 1.07 fiasco, that testing became more rigorous, so it would be logical that there would be gaps in the numbering if the internal testing found game-killing bugs.

We'll never know for sure that there was supposed to be a "January/1.28" update, but it is in the realm of possibility, especially if there are a large number of cars that show up next week. In the end, it's no more than idle speculation.
 
At the same time, they don’t real’y need ad more content. They need to finish what they done. Carrier mode, fixing and improve ai, fix the loby, fix some menu and bug.

Not wholeheartedly believing but optimistically hoping….
 
I am 99% sure we're gonna get some sort of non-VR content in this update. Even if it is the bare minimum of 3 cars, a few events with lackluster payouts and a bunch of scapes no-one's gonna use.

There just has to be something.
-'Here for unmentionables'- er.. undocumented changes... "Engines/chassis/S-parts" ...

Help donating for Praiano’s Vr, Not planing on purchasing one for myself if I'm barley playing.
(Gotten stale, lobbies horrible.. )
The bonanza was fun, I actually impregnated my girlfriend around that time, so.. It’s due soon!
Once we settle into new place I hope to enjoy some down time with you all!
 
I'm realy only looking forward to a new time trial, not planning on buying a ps5 yet so I'll go with whatever we are going to get, just like a whole lot of other guy out here.
I think it would be weird to only release something for the VR, it would piss of somany people 🤣, but they prob will 🤣
I'm not going to complain, they past few cars I never drive and the new menu books are 1 hour work to complete, so I'm just focussing on tuning my cars, timetrials and have fun with what I got, expect nothing, so I'll be fine, i can wine about something I don't have, but still with the lack of content, I play every day, and still love it 😁,
 
What makes you think that we are only getting a VR update and no new content to go with it?
My guess is that they have put all the manpower to get VR right for this update, meaning nothing else has been finished.
Also no mention of anything else or a hint of something else coming
I guess we will see soon
