PD could have saved itself the "update", if you can even call it that.

Unimog:
I think enough has been said about the vehicle.
Still. Why?????
There is neither a track (medium to difficult terrain) nor other cars in its class.
It will definitely be a revelation to "race" around the Nürburgring with the car without tuning or to go on a record hunt in Le Mans. 🚀

SUV = super useless vehicle <- for this game

205 GTI:
Okay. Even if it's an old car again, my grandpa had one (unfortunately not the GTI but the 205) and it brings back childhood memories.

Z4:
I would have preferred the Z3 here. I find it more visually appealing. But it's nice that it's a convertible again.

I would prefer it if an update like this only came out every 3 months, but with 10 cars and 1 or 2 tracks. In between, they can then fix the bugs that they introduce with each update.
 
At this point they're saving new tracks for GT8
Definitely, but I expect we'll still receive our basic rations - as set in 2024 - of one layout per year, every year until GT8.
I forgot about the PS4Pro - PS5Pro cross gen....


So I guess the question is:

Will GT8 be PS6 exclusive? (More than likely for 8K ready)
Or
Will GT8 be cross gen ? (PS6 and PS5 Pro)
Or
Will GT8 also be playable on PS5 ?

No doubt VR will be fully compatible on GT8, I don't see that stopping at all.

The next question is:
Will the PS6 accept PSVR2 ?
Or
Will the PS6 require that we all upgrade to PSVR3 ???


Those are the questions the bean counters will have to determine to allow maximum profitability AND lowest risk of alienating people who cannot shell out another set of hardware....

If GT8 requires me to :
Get PS6
GET PSVR3

That's a minimum of $1500... Yikes....

And then an upgrade to new sim wheels, pedals and gear shifter that's probably an additional $2200
Because I am about to outgrow my G29 now...

As much as I want GT8 to be PS6 PSVR3 exclusive:
I don't think my wife will be too happy about it.... $3700 to play a "stupid game"
Maybe it will not be a first day buy after all in the worse / best case scenario...
Maybe I will just stick to GT7 until they stop supporting it...

In my specific case, I would prefer that they do a cross gen from PS5 through PS5 .... That would allowed them to best get the maximum amount of people to buy GT8....

I hope they have a GT7 spec III release before GT8 comes out...

EDIT. :
1.560.fe713d13A downloaded, installed and updated ... But cannot play yet until the servers are back :(
If GT8 is cross-gen, it almost certainly won't be half-cross-gen (5Pro and 6 only), I don't think any PS game will be.

I imagine the plan would be to make a PS5-only GT8 in 2027ish to collect revenue, reintroduce more cars and give the GTWS a shake-up with time/weather everywhere and changed physics.

A PS6-exclusive GT9 can follow, aiming for 18 months post-PS6 launch, but probably closer to 38 months.
 
They drop updates whenever they have enough content to justify one…

They’re not “holding stuff back” for GT8 like some people are obsessed with. They may be planning development assets around GT8 - but anything being “held back” will be for a hardware reason.

They won’t need to try and sell GT8
They started to hold stuff back from GT Sport a few years before GT7 released, all the GT7 new cars and tracks could be backported to GT Sport if they wished, but you always need something new to sell the next game.

Maybe… but they’ve not been doing that since 2023 as some people seem to suggest!

To use that logic, PD have developed the Ferrari 499P in 2024 and could add to GT7… but they’re not because they’re waiting to add it to a game coming out in 3 years time!?

Or they have the Hungaroring all beautifully created and could be dropped into GT7… but they’re holding it back to entice me to buy GT8?!

A new off-road course?

If it isn't a new course then this truck is pretty much useless in the game imo.
I've seen this mentioned multiple times in this thread, the Unimog is useless without a new track. :rolleyes: We have 3 dirt tracks in the game and also the Catalunya rally course. Hopefully we can put snow tires on it which adds all the Lake Louise variants.
 
5. GT Auto
 - Car Maintenance & Service
  Engine Swaps are now available for the following cars (unlocked at Collector Level 50):
  ・Ford Escort RS Cosworth '92
  ・Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth '87
  ・Mazda Demio XD Touring '15
  ・Subaru Impreza 22B-STi Version '98
  ・Subaru Impreza Coupe WRX Type R STi Version VI '99
  ・Suzuki Swift Sport '17

finally swap for ford escort and sierra, hopefully it's the maverick engine.
Subarus will probably get 911 Turbo engine and I like it
Swift and Demio probably will get the boring K24 engine

also it's 6 swaps instead of usual 5 swaps. maybe to make up last update with 9 swaps
 
New Engine Swap!
