Gran Turismo just teased Spa, Maybe?

Already reported! Delete

Eeek, I think the gun may have been jumped on this one.

If PD tweeted that video and then DIDN'T add Spa ....... that would be maximum trolling. It would make me laugh though!

I think the only question is when they will add it. PD are known for showing content at World Tour events and then waiting a bit to actually add the content to the game.

 

[05XR8]

Was it told in translation? Did PD misdirect so they themselves could reveal this news? Doesn't matter. For the first time ever, in the history of Gran Turismo Sport, Spa-Francorchamps, is coming to the game!

 

[Moglet]

Go on PD, add a completely different track for a laugh. You know you want to.

 

[SestoScudo]

Rest in peace Spa meme so PD where is my 100 tracks that I wished for

 

[LotusEvoraGTE]

Alright lads, time to find a new track that isn't in this game yet to complain about.

 

[bdj57]

I'm glad the track finally made it but it won't stop people for asking more. Myself were grateful the game still got support and that is enough to carry on though it could be better as I would expect but as long all the efforts are for the better it is fine I guess.

Even better, make it an oval.

. A while back it was confirmed we were getting rain, I have not driven a single wet race in GTS yet.

Never confirmed by PD though - there lies the difference.

Oh yeah baby yeah!!!!
I believed it was legit, sweet! It was the #FIAGTC that Made me believe it, plus the Facebook delete.
SPA coming soon to Gran Turismo Sport. I’m looking for to driving an LMP1 or Open wheel car up Eau Rouge and feeling the car shake and vibrate as it goes up the hill! Then I’m gonna do it down hill.
PS I was actually hoping for New York Track from GT4. But this surprise is something I’ve wanted for ages to, I think a lot of us have.

The meme is now officially dead. View attachment 845468

So that´s what the Admins of this FANSITE have/had to say a while ago.

On the other hand the Official GT account is straight up name dropping SPA on FaceBook, twitter and Insta,

Who are you gonna believe?

Choose wisely.

We're a media outlet, and we haven't said anything that says Spa isn't coming. We said that what we were hearing on the ground was that it was a new-to-series real-world track, but obviously that this information could not be taken as confirmed. I've posted it twice in this thread already:

Nothing is solid enough to report on yet, but if what we are hearing is true another real-world circuit — which has never before appeared in a Gran Turismo game — is coming to GT Sport…

The article is here: https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-new-york-preview-new-partnership-new-content-new-drama/

As I pointed out, that doesn't mean that the information we had was necessarily wrong - but since we didn't report it as true it wouldn't matter either way - because "plans are subject to change and PD has been trying to get Spa (we know it's modelled) into GT Sport for a while. If there's been a breakthrough and Spa is now licensed to GT Sport, PD might decide to swap out what it had planned for what the community has been clamouring for non-stop for the last four centuries"

It appears someone on the GT Facebook team set the video live last night and shouldn't have done, so deleted it. They deleted it too late, because people had already seen it. The video has now gone back up on Facebook, and Twitter, and Instagram.


There's literally no conflict here, so there's no need to choose who you want to believe.

Eeek, I think the gun may have been jumped on this one.

Why?

 

[anthonyfa18]

let not all count the chicken be for they hatch,

ps: if it is spa, rain and s2000 i need new pants

 

[danimac]

Spa Confirmed!
We can finally say that with confirmation!

 

[Unknown GT]

The confirmed addition of the SPA-Naoiri Circuit is OFFICIAL! Motorcycle circuit located in Japan.

 

[mcfizzle]

So wait, it's not really confirmed yet? Seems a little early to post this, especially when we should find out in the next day or two and Jordan claims the track coming is new to the series.

Having said that, I hope it's coming. I need to drive Eau Rogue/Raidillon in VR! Please be true that is coming.

 

[MaxAttack]

I picked a good weekend to move to the Netherlands where I'm not sure if I'll have a tv or my ps4 will work.

Super timing.

 

[danimac]

Go to official Twitter of Gran Turismo to see the video. It is the one that was deleted from Facebook on purpose to get us all talking. Least I believe, it maybe coming in this upcoming update or, in the future. Either way it’s definitely gonna come one day soon.

Didn´t mean to be dismissive or condescending. Just pointing out that once official info hits all rumors are "overruled".

 

[Normalaatsra]

So is this the Spec 2 update? Substantial changes to the game usually mean it's a spec up.

 

[ARTAsean]

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Why?

Despite what we were shown today I'm still a bit skeptical about the inclusion of Spa. Nothing we were shown today has said that we were 100% getting Spa. For all we know, some of those images could have been doctored.

Unless... you guys know something we don't...DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN!

Didn´t mean to be dismissive or condescending. Just pointing out that once official info hits all rumors are "overruled".

Official info hadn't hit two days ago when that article went onto the site - and we reported the rumours as just that, not facts. And, as I said, "plans are subject to change and PD has been trying to get Spa (we know it's modelled) into GT Sport for a while. If there's been a breakthrough and Spa is now licensed to GT Sport, PD might decide to swap out what it had planned for what the community has been clamouring for non-stop for the last four centuries."

This could literally be something that's happened in the last two days, between @Jordan landing in New York and now. The track has been modelled and ready for GT Sport when it came out - it was licensing that held it all up. With that resolved, it could simply be a matter of "Well, let's put Spa in this time and leave the track we'd planned until next time".

We don't know if it's in the next update though. If it is, chances are it's a slightly older decision as the update would need to be certified by Sony before release and that's a two-week process from what I recall.

You don't need to choose who to believe. We've not reported anything that's wrong or contradictory to today's new information.

Looks like Interlagos to me.

 

[Famine]

The Gran Turismo Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds posted doctored images about Spa in GT Sport... because why?

Unless... you guys know something we don't...DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN!

Well, @Jordan's been there 24hr already...

Foreground, not background.

Rain isn't big enough to warrant Spec 2.0. Sure, it's a whole new weather condition, but think of GT5 Spec 2.0.

Welp, you got me there. I still have my doubts but I guess we'll see.

I don't get it. Or are we talking about Yamauchi(?) busting a move?
Edit: Oops double post

Yes, that's the OP's reaction to the news.
