Are you sure you don't mean another batch of gameplay videos featuring Brands, the 'Ring or Tokyo?Before one can speculate date of release, one would have to have received the first new round of screenshot dumps? Surely?

Apologies. I should have qualified that with 'so as not to have just be flicking through a calendar and stopping randomly' for a compass like the last pages.
Currently it's like standing on the deck of the good ship Lollipop and pissing in the wind, but yeah it's not a pre-requisite.
It will always boil down to PD breaking cover. The next 'new' round of stuffs dropped should trigger this 'months' long hype train.
As usual it's the radio silence that means everything is rinsed in the only really living thread in this section at present, so I understand, this threads been there and back again and the game isn't even out.
Guess away, I just think we're obviously in need of the new jumping off point and only one entity can do it, so we're at least informed again.
What "cringe-induce" means?
Ha agreed.Then we can expect an unofficial 'septemberish' annoucement from them too
What I can't speculate on is why the PS store still has preorder for GTS available showing a release date of 12/31/17 as of last night.

Maybe they chose that date just to cover all bases and assume GT Sport is coming out this year
Placeholder date.
I'm not sure how more people don't know how these work. The game has a vague release date of 2017, they set a specific placeholder date of the last day in the year so that when they do know the real date, the customer is happy, it can only get better for them. "Good news, your pre-order has moved forward to X date". Business 101.
The alternative is to make a guess yourself so the initial date is more appealing and hope it doesn't come later. Obviously not the safer option, if you set it as say March 30th and it turns out to be September you're going to disappoint people if it turns out later and you have to inform them. If you'd set it as Dec 31st, it'd be going forward 3 months.
The only way they lose is if it goes to 2018.
We also got a new bunch of screenshots and trailer at Playstation Experience but PD weren't there, didn't say anything about the game progress.
Soon.Maybe there isn't going to be a release date. Maybe our pre-orders will just arrive at our door some day soon!

...if it goes to 2018.
Imagine if that would happen...
I'd say if theres no OFFICIAL release date announced in the next 2-3 months then PD must be thinking of a 2018 release.
Just my 2 cents.

Could also be Holiday 2017, in which case they'd reveal the date at E3. Personally, I think they'll reveal the date around the Nintendo Switch's launch to take some attention from them, and the date will be May/June.
Seems like two totally different audiences to be honest, I suppose if you view the two companies in direct competition it would make sense but it's not like the Switch is going to have a prime racing series to steal sales from Sony.Could also be Holiday 2017, in which case they'd reveal the date at E3.

Poly must be under a lot of pressure. After the closure of Evo Studios, today Guerrila Cambridge.

Only Naughty Dog seems untouchable for Sony. If Horizon is a flop (very unlikely IMO), there will be some lay-offs. The same for GTsport.
@queleuleu PD are untouchable, I'd say they're about the same as Naughty Dog, Horizon won't flop.
@I6sexus Disagree, PD not only have a best selling exclusive, they have the technical know how to see hardware as well.
You can disagree all you like. No one is exempt from the axe. They are a very long way from the PS2 era for quality. If the sales curve continues downward from GT6 that could be enough. 200 Staff now? It cost 12 million a year in the GT5 era. What will that be now? How many games have they released recently?@I6sexus Disagree, PD not only have a best selling exclusive, they have the technical know how to see hardware as well.
