You know, I totally disagree with the statement that GT must go online-focus to survive. Looking at the market for pure online versus single player (even sims like AC quote that only 20% of the user base races online) I'd argue that GT must retain a broad and relevant single player mode to generate sales.

If you look at sales charts like vgchartz (which only partially covers sales) then neither major franchise is holding up sales, but GT is still miles ahead of the competition, despite GT5/6 seeming "stale".

http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=forza+motorsport
Forza 4 global sales 4.4 million (Xbox 360)
Forza 5 global sales 2.2 million (Xbox One)
Forza 6 global sales 1.7 million (Xbox One)
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=gran+turismo
GT5 global sales 10.7 million (PS3)
GT6 global sales 3.6 million (PS3)
(yes, Sony listed GT6 sales above 5 million, but I'm compared vgchartz like-for-like)


GT6 managed to sell effectively the same as Forza 5 and 6 combined.

I'd argue that GT7 with significant graphical improvements (4k+HDR on PS4 Pro) and PSVR support would sell like hotcakes to everyone wanting to show off their kit. And the most important feature would be car collecting, simple career mode, and lots of awesome replays and photo mode capabilities.
Not a reliable source to be honest, this has been stated on the forums countless times. VGchartz hasn't changed its data collecting methods and thus the numbers are just a estimation not anything concrete.
 
Could this have something to do with GT Sport?

GTS is still bound to make an appearance on a stage event at TGS right? Though if they don't give us any new info during that, then I'm really starting to fear that this will be quite a long delay...

Sony really ought to push PD to release the game or at least provide more info, or else they will start alienating racing fans from the PS4... Right now, in terms of exclusives, PS4 only has Driveclub, whose developer was shut down by Sony, and GTS, which is currently delayed indefinitely, while XBONE already has three great racing games plus an upcoming title (Horizon 3) which quite frankly looks stunning.
 
Well it is a generic representation of racing games in live action format, that is about it.
I'm wondering because first they show "real life" footage and than gameplay footage.
For example:
Flying Girl,Football Players,The Car scene etc. and than they showed Gravity Rush,PES and GTS etc.

Yes like I said, they were just generic live action representations of games and genres, pretty standard fare. It means nothing for the actual games.

I believe it means for actual games because they showed game footage at the end.
Did you watched the whole end?

I wish my english would be better so i could explain better what i mean

Yeah I don't know what you're getting at. It was a live action promo video for games mixed with in-game footage, pretty common. It doesn't mean we will see cars doing barrel rolls and sliding round garages in GT Sport.

I know that but maybe the cars will be in GTS

There is about as much stock in that as Porsche being in a GT game, just cause of a promo banner at Le Sarthe in game. Also considering the main car in that shot...yeah no any of those others is as @Samus put it and because of being in past GTs. This still doesn't mean anything for GTS or whatever it may be called at a later date. I know it's hard to not have info, and be that guy that finds the needle in the proverbial PD haystack, but this isn't it I'd say.

Cayman with 911 back??

I see what you mean, it looks like a carrera s to me, but the headlights look cayman. I think the car was altered on purpose to not get in trouble with Porsche. If it were for GT lets say hypothetically, perhaps they're trying to come to a deal with Porsche and this is a hint. Or the deal was being finalized before TGS and is the reason for a delay. But since I don't want to stir up hype for something that has a very slim chance, everyone should just highlight the hypothetical diction.

After examined the video what can I say that this scene is nothing more than marketing gimmick, doesn't have any relations or context with GT Sport at all. Just to show that people who played Playstation would likely have "exciting experience" with variety of games, including racing games. Instead you can see GT Sport at glance in the last minute of the video.
 
What was predicted by many long time fans on here, that other not so long time fans weren't willing to accept. In other words the reality of things to be.

I think they may actually be on the road to being axed. Being 1st party meant nothing to Evolution, after all.
It's like Sony have already moved on.

Sony have moved on from what? Unlike Evolution, PD is a not just a first party game, but a Sony subsidary company which is a large factor, and said company has their creator on the Sony Exec board. So I mean it would have to be a pretty big mass exodus for such an event.

The more likely conclusion is that Sony don't care because of what I just listed, and gives Kaz so much rope that it's nearly infinitesimal it'd seem to those gamers still seeing the same stuff in 2016. It seems Sony figures the games will sell and so long as they think they've beat the competition money wise, what do they care?
 
Weird, GTS is more prominent in Warsaw Games Week than Tokyo Game Show - what is going on here :confused:

:)
PD need to get their priorities straight - as well as Sony. I feel as though both are to blame for the lack of info and relatively small exposure compared to Forza and other racing games out there. It does nothing for the fans. Nothing.
 
Have you noticed these?

They are from the VR/PS4 trailer shown yesterday. It's curious because it looks a lot GT-ish, but at the same way totally different from the style GT Sport looked until now.

That's already been posted on the previous page...

This is the videogame business bro, no-one is bulletproof!

Okay bro... No one claimed they were bullet proof per say, but they're not easily going to be axed just because some people on a forum think it will be, considering PD has had delays since GT2 and they're still doing it, logic would be against you. Also you factor in the Japanese culture as well, and a mutual respect for what Kaz's group has brought Sony over time, it's not as simple as you'd like to see it.

Sony always use random clips like this in their advertisements, I really wouldn't look into it. It's essentially just stock footage to say 'YOU CAN DRIVE CARS IN VR LOL!!' because even they are bored of showing the same 10 cars and 4 tracks.
