Did this ever say 'public' at any point...?
Don't give them ideas for excuses!
There is no doubt that between the 27th October and now something happened that meant the beta couldn't be delivered. Could be development issues, waiting for the "delayed" VR launch or holding back for the PS4K. May be a bit of all three.
It is that they say nothing that gets under peoples skin. If they just came out and said this is the issue/reason it hasn't happened, here is the new date. I for one would be happy with that.

No, a true BETA used to get feedback and change the game based on said feedback must be released at least 3 months before the release so developers have enough time to make the changes.
These "BETAS" released recently just a couple of weeks before release are simply glorified demos to rise awareness of the game and increase sales.

GT5 and GT6 were both demoed/announced at E3.

GT5 wasn't really announced until GT:HD was cancelled right after the PS3's launch. It's similar to how GT3 wasn't really announced until Sony told everyone that what was supposed to be GT2000 wasn't coming out at all and it would instead be reworked into a real GT game.
GT6 was announced at the GT 15th Anniversary shindig Sony threw together.

It's not about which game is technically more realistic, it's just what feels better to you

Um, because they announced an early 2016 beta, and E3 is way past early 2016, so the October announce for a major release (and the first GT on a 'new' console is major news, especially for this forum) and then total silence for the entire 'early 2016' period? I'm sorry, but that is super weird.

I hope that gtsport is 100% "next gen". The seasonal event on Deep Forest this week is so dull : standard track with standard cars with zombie AI... I play Trackmania at the moment and gt6 almost feels like retro gaming sometimes.
GTsport is their last chance if they want to stay a big seller.

I quite agree that it should have been both easier to tweak, clearer what the tweaks did and better balanced from the start (I am also pretty sure that the PS4, which I'm using, was better than the XBox 1 at launch in this regard).
However its is still perfectly possible to both use a pad with PCars and to be competitive with a pad on PCars
Its a topic for another thread, but no its not, not even close.
Personal preference is personal, so no issue with that at all. Personally I find GT dull, lifeless and with over-damped control.
Good for you, I know some who don't. Doesn't really change a thing.

I agree that GTS is their last chance but I really don't care anymore if it's a success or not. With AS, PCars, Dirt Rally, Driveclub and whatever else comes our way in the next two years I certainly won't miss a GT title in my collection. It would be fantastic if it is a wonderful game but if it's not I've got plenty to keep me busy racing wise.

I was a huge fan, it was the best game ever made back in the day. I've recounted this before but I remember playing FM2 and all my xbox live mates waxing lyrical about how great FM was and I would always sit there in silent smug satisfaction thinking, 'just you wait for the next GT to drop that will show you how good a real racing game can be'. And it just didn't happen, and it's been downhill for GT ever since then for me.
Agreed, of course, but don't you think it's a shame that the most famous console racing game is dying such a weird, slow, silent death* in modern times?

I really don't think it's a shame, they have brought it on themselves with burying their heads in the sand and pandering to Kaz's own distorted view of 'his' game. Other games, plenty of them, have shown how it can be done for the past few years and GT just seems to have failed to deliver, they only have themselves to blame and I have little sympathy for them any more.

Successfully turning gamers into major Motorsport event winners, interacting with internationally established car makers to develop concepts that eventually turn into real-world cars, igniting a collaboration with the FIA to push the franchise towards an official E-sport competition,... Sure all these must not detract PD to fix what needs to be, but the GT franchise is far from dying IMO.

GT6 has crashed and burned. The franchise will rise from the ashes as a phoenix. GTS will ascend the gaming charts. Forever etched in the hearts and souls of car enthusiasts. Not as a reinvention of the wheel. Rather, as a new road, that connects bridges, in the virtual world.
Gran Turismo can only go up from here.

No it's not, the PD that's been talked about for years is one that deeply lacks transparency in what they say and actually do. To a point where people continually wonder what is going on. Which is why many people here weren't surprised when deadlines were missed. I'm not really sure when you joined the GT fandom but I've been on since GT1 and have seen many delays and then no real reason as to why they happened just that they did.
Read what @Imari and @Tornado have said, also the comment to my question doesn't answer it considering the context of why I asked in the first place. If you read the response jm79 posted you'll understand it has nothing to do with an E3 demo.
