That's something I hadn't thought about in a while. I wonder how the FIA feels about all this? My understanding was the the FIA champs were originally slated for GT6, then got pushed to GT7/GTS, and now are getting delayed again.

I wonder how it works. If Polyphony is just paying the FIA for the privilege, I imaging that it doesn't matter. If it's more of a collaboration though then maybe at some point the FIA just gets fed up. If all they want is their name out there then maybe it's worth more to them to push a lower selling game but get more releases more frequently.

Looking back at the original announcement from 2014, it certainly appears that GT6 was the original target, yeah. 2015 came and went, and now 2016 is out of the running too.

It certainly makes you wonder what the FIA sees in the partnership. I doubt we'll ever be privy to all the details, but I do wonder how much they're looking around at what other games are doing. Like existing in players hands, for starters.

Perhaps it really is just about money. It's also possible this partnership means the FIA can't go to any competitors to start up a similar championship. It just seems like such a wasted opportunity: the FIA wants to become more involved in the digital realm, and its tied to a horse that hasn't even shown up at the track yet.
 
Just throwing up another side to a coin. ;)

Is it possible the FIA is part of the reason behind the delay? Could it be they decided GTS wasn't up to scratch yet for running the FIA championships with such things as the implementation of collisions and damage etc? Maybe they weren't happy to go ahead without everything perfect from the get go - not compromising the integrity of the racing until things would (hopefuly) get patched?

It could be although the FIA have zero experience of these sort of things so I'm not sure how much input they will actually have. And I said above they are desperate to get the youth of today interested in Motorsport so can't see them wanting to delay anything.

Truth be told we'll probably never know.
 
I'd still rather play a completely polished Gran Turismo 3-like game this gen than a hyper realistic sim. That's what Gran Turismo is for me, offering an experience that ticks all the boxes instead of getting some things right whilst being totally off with others.

I'm sick of buying racing games and seeing each respective defence force point out that each game's faults are not faults and you should move onto another series if you think they are issues/oversights. For PCARS, I was told the incredible amount of bugs shouldn't be a big deal because of the amount of different racing disciplines represented. For Assetto Corsa, I've been told if you want a game don't buy it because it's better as a driving simulator and nothing more.

What happened to making a full package that feels complete and stand-alone instead of a 'Base to build on'. I know this is the trajectory of modern gaming but it still sucks in my opinion.

The best games I've played this gen are ones that didn't necessarily need any new content or continuous support to keep it going. Pro-tip: Not a single racing game outside of Dirt Rally has that status for me.

Given the fact GTS has been delayed into the vaguest possible window... all I can hope is it feels like a full title on release. If not, who knows what the future of the series is for me.

#TRUTH Dirt rally is the only racing game that I can think of that has no real faults

Forza 6 was utterly fantastic for the 4 hours or so I got to play on my little brother's Xbox. The main issue is I backed the wrong horse this gen.

If GTS doesn't turn out great, I'll definitely be 'Team Xbox' here on... Still might end up getting an S for my Christmas! :lol:

Sorry, didn't realise. If GTS doesn't turn out great you'll probably be able to pick up an Xbone for pretty cheap by then anyway.

I don't really see GTS being the game you describe either unfortunately. Unless this delay is all about adding to the single player experience. Really hope it is.

How's your PC specs? You could always try Apex since Microsoft seem intent on branching out the Forza franchise to Windows 10. Could save you from backing the wrong gen. unless you're after an Xbox S anyway.

Just a thought.

Yeah as it stands I have a PC that isn't really gaming capable but it's definitely an option to look at a PC over an Xbox. Problem is I really like having a console. Might be a trend I have to buck in the future with the way MS is expanding the Xbox brand.

PC is becoming more tempting for me because of the Neo/Scorpio. I've just been becoming more and more fed up with the console industry these days and I'm seriously looking at wanting out.
 
I feel much of the delay could be how this all works:
05XR8
I guess a good thing is, the real GT3 cars should have accurate sounds.

With Scapes, seems more like a Photoshop type program.

Sport Mode. This thing is the killer. Spectating is going to be a tough one. As in, what's involved?:
-Will spectators be able to chat to one another separate to the racers?
-Will there be a nomimated pit crew or engineer to coach a player that is driving?
-Will the FIA contact a nominated crew member/engineer of penalties during races?
-Will a virtual safety car(M4) be deployed by a nominated spectator?

-Manufacturer's Cup data. Including different Time Zones, offline play in Arcade Mode, player's garages, etc.
-miles/kilometers logged per player
-shared content and much much more...

We don't even know anything about them.

You never had to be strictly be on consoles. I don't get what is to be fed up about? Are you referring microtransactions? Games that feel unfinished or etc?

Always had a choice to or simply you can own both PC and consoles.
 
Looking in perspective the development of GT Sport, is rather anoying. They showed the game in June, with poor graphics, few cars, few circuits and a very similar handling to GT6. I the next events (E3, Gamescom) we thought they were hidding all the rest.

So now that we know they simply didnt have those things, how the hell they thought they could make it to November?

Delay doesn't mean they have nothing
 
You know what...
I have try GTS and i like it the graphics is amazing real jaw dropped the new feeling is a jump something like from gt5P to gt6.
Really is amazing...
BUT....
I'm feeling disappointed
The GTS is changed..
And with this change a big part of the old good GT is dead...
I think one of the big reasons that gamers love the GT is the list of cars...
Because of all this little "everyday" cars....
For the old Honda, opel, Peugeot,......
Because all of us owns a car from gt's car list sometime in our life!
And this was amazing!
Now we have only the big shinny super and hyper cars and some other cars without "soul"!!!!
What about this change GT fans? Are you feel Allright about this?
We need all those cars to come back again like premium in GTS....
I really i dont care about all the other things except this new graphics and physics....

They will almost certainly be back in full force by GT7. :)

Your going to have to elaborate on that sir.

I read that @Imari meant considering the history of GT in recent years, the delays, standard cars, weird design decisions, it's difficult to know the how, why or where with GT. So with that in mind your post could be read as a sarcastic dig at that fact. It could also be a completely straightforward opinion. It's just how GT has made people think in recent times.

Edit: Not that I'm not speaking for @Imari , that's just how I read it, I'm sure I will be corrected in due course!

In what sense? You'll choose a race/lobby, and watch it. That's all there will be to it.

Where's your imagination man!

What about being able to pick a spectator spot at night-time Nurb, with fires blazing and flares going off, floodlit race screaming by?

Or choose an actual seat in a grandstand (wasn't there a promo image showing exactly that?)

All sorts of cool things you could do with this (not that I'm saying they will, of course!).

Well you can hold me to it if spectator mode is anything more than I suggested. :)

Haha deal, I will throw lots of unwarranted abuse at you, when I am inevitably correct :D
That's how forums work right? ;)
