Mmm. . . It sounds almost certain their going to announce the Beta to be avalible immediatly after the E3 conference. . . it would truly be a mic drop moment that simply wipes all hype from anything MS could announce at their E3 briefing that morning. Which is likely Forza Horizon 3.

For some, perhaps. For some, it might have that impact, for others, FH3 will still be more important. Besides, they just need to announce a non-racing title to create a bigger hype because the interest in the racing genre is slowly decreasing - from what I've seen at least.

I don't think the talk of a beta will wipe the floor, but what I think would do that would be to release the beta before that, and release a final game date at E3 with some extra footage.

Let's not take this thread in that direction.
 
I see something on the line of "while we are talking the open Beta is already available for DL" after showing a few minutes of good stuff on screen....

Yeah, Sony have form in that area, but not for anything as high profile as GT, IIRC...
 
Let's not take this thread in that direction.

After 1 April, I assume with the Playstation brand moving to the US, perhaps their E3 strategies and all Playstation 1st party decision making has been centralized there as well. Perhaps PD has to wait on them before making announcements.
 
I thought that but further down it says they'll be required on the 18th, 19th and 20th. I'm assuming 18th is meant as travel day, but still, says they'll be required at both days of the 'event', not just the end of it.

True. I guess it could refer to the event being the last thing before the beta is launched.
 
This is what is bumming me right now. While I'm excited for the news and possibility of GTS being soon, it does nothing for me. I now have to wait to find out how the Neo is going to play out, and even if I don't get it, it would be smart for me to wait anyways as once that is revealed, PS4 prices will drop. So either way, I'm still playing the waiting game.
I made the decision to go standard PS4 weighing the following, which I suspect would jive with most other folks lurking this particular thread:

For Neo
1 Potentially more stable framerates
2 Futureproof: later in the PS4 lifecycle, Sony could relax their requirement that all titles and content be 100% compatible with both systems

Against Neo
3 Even if point 2 is true, I am confident there would never be Neo-only GT content of significance
4 VR and higher resolutions are unimportant to me
5 I will have free time to play this summer in case the GTS beta is aound a while and worth playing
6 Missing the GTS beta will give me anxiety
7 If GTS released before Neo and I was waiting for Neo it would be anxiety city
8 PS4/Neo price delta
9 I bought PS4 @ $300 new (Sams Club) and do not suspect that to go lower than $250 after Neo, if it goes down at all

I'll likely go for the base PS4 as well, but I don't want to buy in yet just on the fact that the base models will likely go down in price, or that a lot of them will be popping up on the market. Still, one of my main concerns is that I just want both to be optimized. I can hold off on GTS, I have plenty of other great games to play.

By my post I meant with the comparisons to/competition with MS and Forza.

The ability to play any pc sim at massive framerates and with huge fields certainly makes it easier to wait for the Neo:sly:
And rightfully should be. Both original PS4 owners and NEO owners should get a stable 60FPS like Forza 5 and Forza 6 have with GTSport.
Not necessarily, we'll have to see how it plays out. PD isn't known in the past for prioritizing framerates over eye candy so it'd be a switch in philosophy to have a solid 60 on both platforms. Anything is possible at this point.


Anyone else wondering why there isn't a news article about this yet:confused: I'm sure we all want to rampantly speculate in more than one place!
 
Ah ok, thanks for that 👍 Just your typical GTP hype train getting excited before nothing then :lol:

Yeah. Since there's been no news in six months, people here are getting excited about the three days long closed beta of a spinoff title. At least I hope someone manages to record footage.

Just yesterday I (sort of) finished my new gaming PC. Hadn't built one in over a decade. Now I don't have any desire to get GT Sport, whenever that may come. Maybe I would get a PS4 for GT7 (and EDF 4.1), depending on G27 wheel support, positive reviews from people here and if it is finished this decade.
 
Off topic: Between the last few pages of this thread, Uncharted 4, and the Fallout 4 announcements, this is turning into quite the gaming day for me!

On topic: Over 200 pages before the GTS Beta? I can't wait to see what happens after it.

Imagine the outrage on GTP if everyone invited to the beta event has to sign an NDA and all phones and other recording devices are prohibited:lol:. This basically:
:mad::mad::mad::mischievous::mischievous::odd::odd::mad::mad::mad::mad::yuck::yuck::irked::irked::irked::irked:
 
On that note, first at these type of events footage is never recorded from the console itself. That means good footage is already discarded.

After that then comes NDAs, meaning that the actual testers can't talk about the game nor have permission to record nor share footage. What we are going to see is shaky 30 seconds long phone videos, with vertical orientation, recorded in a very noisy area.

And if we go by what always happens at PD hosted events, then there will also be an official trailer that's clearly CGI, lots of pictures of Kaz posing with GTRs (9:1 than about the actual game) and people will quote Amar on neogaf about hats being blown off and shedding tears of manliness (despite him not attending any events).

Our hope is that one GTP user attends and just breaks the NDA. Don't give your nicknames to PD :lol:

You stay positive :cheers:
 
I have a PS4 that I will most likely sell for NEO. Also I am interested in PSVR.

I'm undecided about selling it after GTS BETA ends and before NEO is officially announced. Doing so would probably net me few euros more and it would be easier to sell it.

If NEO is here and regular PS4 gets a price drop then that's an easy 100€ off my ebay listing.

In the end it's not that a regular PS4 will be worth nothing so trading for NEO after a price drop (IF there's a price drop) is still a an option. (I'll throw in SF5:P)

Also a potential GTS bundle or special edition PS4 would be nice to have.

We all want to have access to lots of information related to GTS, but I can't be overly positive about getting it from a closed-beta live event. It just never works like that, and that especially at PD hosted events.

Agreed Johnny,but framerate should be a requirment for the game now than how they veiwed it before with GT5 and GT6 and yeah they have not considered framerate a important role with GT5 and especially 6,but I'm sure they are more concerned with it though,but yes anything is possible Johnny. 👍

Only kidding brother!

I, for one, am well excite.

At the Silverstone GT 15th anniversary event they had embargo until 5PM IIRC and were cool with me recording stuff. My profile pic actually is me behind Kaz recording GT6 footage using my phone. :lol:

In my opinion, it should have been a requirement in the past too. It is a situation that can literally interrupt you're inputs on a game, and a game that requires as much precision as these games do, it should have been the first thing they optimized.

We got plenty of information and footage out of the GT6 event at Silverstone, I don't see why this won't be the same.

Granted the game hadn't been announced at all before that event but it's not like GTS has either really.
