This is more painful than waiting at a restaurant for your food to come and you've reached advanced levels of hunger.
The joint even smells great, meat, curry, fryinf butter and charring barbecue sauce just makes the hunger elevate more.
Worst yet, when you order on the menu you don't even see a picture of the food, just the description.
To contribute to the topic seriously now, I expect to see Subarus, I expect to see rally, that is all.

If you're referring to me when I said they knew about them from day 1 I didn't mean day 1 of GTS development, I just meant day 1 of those products existing internally, whenever that may have been. I'm pretty sure they started work on a PS4 GT game before GT6 launched, so PS Neo probably wasn't on the table back then. Obviously I've no idea when it did come into their workflow but I would guess they were a fair way into development before it did.
You would hope, anyway. There is always a worry that the reason so little of GTS was shown in the trailer and since is because they simply had very little to show at that stage. In which case Neo or not, we're in for a long wait.

I have to say, waiting for Gran Turismo, is like sitting at a bus station waiting for your friend you haven't seen in years to arrive. Then after 2 hours of watching people come and go, and constantly checking your text messages, your friend finally texts and says they wont be there until 4 hours later. Then you walk away with your head down, sad, and go eat at like a Subway. Then you return to the bus station, and sit again, and your friend says, the bus was delayed again for another hour.

I remember when we were heading into Playstation Experience in December, many people were absolutely certain we would hear more information then, myself included. Boy, how wrong we were.
One thing I do wonder is how much information Jordan and other media outlets have on the game. Obviously if they do they're under an NDA so I don't expect them to blab but Jordan did reveal the three game modes and said he felt the October announcement was a little so it seems likely he knows more than we do, but isn't allowed to say. The French fella also seemed to know more than he was allowed to say.

"But but, this is all Sony's fault! I mean, I'm sure PD wasn't ready to show off GTS just yet, but Sony stepped in and forced them to showoff a trailer of it at PGW. Now it looks like Sony is AGAIN forcing PD to stay quiet so GTS can be saved for PS4K (aka NEO). But you know what? With this long wait, PD must be cooking up something soooo good, it'll blow the minds of many."
Sorry I JUST had to let it out.

How hard will you laugh if your sarcastic prophecy comes to pass?

I agree, PD wouldn’t have anticipated new hardware coming and probably started developing a game on the Base PS4 specs. At what point Neo was brought to the table is speculative but my bet is that it is somewhere down the line of PSVR development; possibly soon after Sony realized their initial specs weren’t exactly up for the job. That would be something entirely brought by and up to Sony that could have potentially delayed the GT Sport release.
Was the project know by Kaz as he reached the Paris Show stage? Most probably. You where seemingly raising the question on why they would have revealed their game back in October knowing they possibly would not be able to talk about it for another 8 month; the suggestion is Sony could have wanted PS4 to remain the king of the hill for the 2015 holiday season. Here again, not sure all the cards were in PD’s hands.
E3 can’t come soon enough now, as I’m eager to know what will actually happen and how Sony is going to address this kind of awkward situation. Sure as the current market leader PS4 as a gaming platform didn’t needed this.
Perhaps but it's not like the GTS launch created a great deal of hype, given how low it was on information and gameplay. There was a bit of hype for a few days in the general gaming world, then it was quickly forgotten again.
Also of course there is also the problem of the beta, we obviously don't know what their specific internal target for release was/is but one would assume it was originally before E3. So if we're suggesting they were forced one way or another to reveal it too early in October, and then wouldn't be planning to show it off again until E3, where did the beta fit into that?
I do also think it was very curious that it wasn't (AFAIK) mentioned at all by Sony during all of their PSVR stuff at GDC in March, bearing in mind of course they obviously knew they were closing down Evolution a week or so afterwards.
I know VR on GTS had already been confirmed before that but why not even throw up the logo, even if they weren't going to show it off on the 'old' PS4?

@Samus More than one title was showcased at Paris, and knowing that the game would soon be playable (if only under a testing form) could have secured/confirmed a few purchase decisions.
I don’t want to restart an unnecessary debate, but Sony always announced Spring 2016 for the Beta release. E3 is within that timeframe.
As for VR, and correct me if I’m wrong, it seems PD said they were working on the feature but never confirmed it as such(?). I'm still skeptical they can achieve GT Sport VR on the Base PS4 model, unless they shrink down the gameplay and or assets in a substantial way. Knowing that no exclusive can be brought to Neo, assuring that compatibility may be a cause for trouble.

They wrote it once on a blog and whilst technically they would indeed just hit Spring with a launch at the E3 conference I'd be pretty confident saying that wasn't their plan when they announced it. Plus of course there is that word we won't mention still written on the game website....
I don't honestly know what the facts are regarding GTS and VR because I have absolutely zero interest in it myself. I know most outlets state it as being "confirmed" though, so I dunno.
Also interesting to note is that the release date for the full game is TBC on the Sony website, not just '2016'.

Plus maybe it's just me but I could only find that page via search, it's not listed here - https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/ps4/games/
Or on the same US site, and I can't even find it via search here:

It's like the game hasn't even been announced to Sony.

And yet Polyphony's Gran Turismo website disagrees, in both English and Japanese.
Who to believe, if both Sony and Polyphony are saying different things about when the beta is expected to release? One would normally expect the developer themselves to have the best idea of progress and expected release dates, they are the ones with access to all the information.
Still, maybe Polyphony told Sony "early", and Sony decided to publish "spring" on the basis that Polyphony doesn't hit deadlines and so it was Sony's best guess as to when it would actually be ready. Which wouldn't be promising either, if the publisher has to second guess their developer's release dates.

It’s entirely possible, but as long as the (arguably scalable) timeframe isn’t over there is no real need to worry. No news at E3 would hint the game is indeed in doomed state; but the absence of any at this point could hint the game will be one of Sony’s June showcase “Piece de résistance”. Only time will tell.
Well yeah I mean if GTS shows up at E3 and the beta launches then and there or very soon after it certainly won't be a huge disaster. Sure, we'll still have had an annoying 7+ months of silence by that point but the beta would be roughly on time depending on your outlook and assuming they announced the game for holiday 16, the full game would be on schedule and everything would be mostly hunky dory.
Mind you it would still depend on how deep the beta actually is, and how well it performs, to decide just how far (or not) behind they are. Then the same deal with the full game. We don't want another "Sony forced them to release what they had at that point, welcome to GT5 1.0" situation again.

A release date at E3 would be great but they probably need some meat for TGS… The quality of the beta will probably be a good gauge for a potential release date estimation.

About the "ps4 neo", in summer 2015 for the Physics Engine Development Engineer position, Poly mentioned "gpu computing". We know that the next ps4 will feature a gpu twice as powerful as the standard ps4.
I don't know, maybe it's a trend to use GPU computing or Poly knew about the ps4 neo?

That only adds, to what @Scaff posted on the matter with Kaz being in a position of knowledge that I'm sure various leaders of devs would love to have. I think it could easily be said at this point they did know, and the evidence you put forth is just more circumstantial backing. It's not a question of did they know, but how long in advance have they known compared to others not on the board?
I dunno, the full game currently doesn't really have a release date so I think if they launch the game properly at E3 they would have to throw out some sort of date, especially if it's Oct/Nov 2016. TGS seems a little late to announce that.
I'm sure there is plenty of other stuff they could save for later, some big feature.
I'm certainly no expert here but is GPU computing not something generally done with all hardware? Why would that be specifically referring to Neo?

I think what he's trying to say is that this opening would ideally point to PD/Kaz knowing of Neo before most others did and that's why they wanted more people on that part of the team. Other than just hiring to help expand the use of the GPU in regards to whatever they were working on, which popular opinion during that time was GT7.

Anybody knows when AMD were in a position to send prototypes/samples to manufacturers of Polaris based processors? That could give a reasonable mark in time.

OK, let me get this straight.
Kazunori Yamauchi, who runs Polyphony Digital, makers of Gran Turismo, a game about racing cars, has just spent the last few days driving a race car, in a high-profile motorsport event.
The car he was driving has a prominent graphic of GT Sport, the latest racing game he is making, that was heavily trailed as being available in the current timeframe.
And yet.
Any tweets? Any blog posts? Any press releases?
Any news at all on the game?
Any info whatsoever?
My god ...someone needs to have a word.

Ah oops, I only skimmed it and misread the part about "his colleagues" as meaning they were driving in his absence. Reading it properly I see he was there.
