The game has been running at 1080/60fps since Copperbox. I played the E3 build (old hud) in September at BGS and it wasn't solid, I'm usually blind to tearing if it doesn't happen right in the middle of the screen but the frame rate variance was noticeable.
Back in December I played a newer build (I imagine it's from november because it had VR) on the base PS4 at a private event and it was rock solid, BUT the cars projected no light at dusk.

Kaz said a bunch of things. I believe he also referred to a public beta, and a release in November. He said people would never wait until 2017 for a game, so it'd be out before then. Not to mention all the things he said about GT5 and GT6 that never happened or turned out to be very, very false.
Kaz is not a reliable source. Sorry. He talks about what he wants to happen and what the game actually is in exactly the same terms, and unfortunately in reality wishing doesn't make it so.

Oh yeah, I didn't really think that through.

On the other hand, GTS might use a non native frame buffer so 1K could end up being correct...

My theory.
No public beta = No really stable build.
Release date postponed = not even close to finishing.
No new demos, features, etc. = Are they even working?
E3 no updates = No 2017 release.
Could this actually happen that GTS gets "delayed" until 2018 to see how PCars 2 and FM7 and what other big name car game comes out?

Could be, no chance of seeing it in Q1, not really much time to get it out in Q2, so that gives them 6 months to hit a 2017 release. But with the lack of info, a release date is anyone's gues..

From what I've seen, I'm taking GTS as a sort of 7 Prologue. It's a smaller game, made to test the waters for a new platform. I think Kaz just realised "oh, I can actually make this a big thing with the whole FIA stuff and whatnot" instead of releasing a game that literally had "work in progress" written on the title.

Off-topic, so please excuse this digression.
But I might take the opportunity to quote someone whose posts I respect to get something off my chest.
Personally, I think it's time to let go of the reasonably consistent, fairly long term, passive aggressive remarks targeted towards one particular forumer.
I'm sure many/most here know what I'm refering to.
Peace. 👍

GTS will be fully playable in VR. How can you take anything he says as gospel? GT fan or not.
By new platform you're not talking about the console are you?

I am, yes. Is there a problem with that?

Technically there is an issue with what you say. PS4 is not a new platform, this year it will be 4 years old. There are already rumours of the PS5 coming out late 2018 from the guy who predicted the slim and Pro. Plus Kaz has had access to the PS4 before any other dev. Basically your theory is flawed.

I meant a new platform as in one where Gran Turismo hasn't been in. The PS3 was ****ing ancient when GT5 came around.
EDIT: It would still be considered a "new" platform even though it's technically old due to that. If I wasn't clear enough, I apologize.

It's incredible if you think about it; one of the biggest budgets in the industry + early access to devkits when a new console is in the pipeline and still they can't manage to release a game on time. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I just don't understand how Sony can keep throwing money at PD.
Of course when it eventually does come out it will be all pretty and shiny, but likely it will be behind on the gameplay front compared to the competition again if you go of past experiences. If GTS would be delayed to 2018 they better not make the same mistake like they did with GT6 and immediately focus on the PS5 (superpro whatever), seeing it will take them another 4 years to come up with another game with their trademark snails pace.

Just let that sink in for a moment....If GTS releases in 2018, which I really think, it will be in the fifth year the PS4 is on the market. A shameful outing for the companies leading racing franchise.
Luckily Playstation doesn't need the GT brand. Just look at all the stuff that has come out lately. Their library is second to none in terms of games, their platform has grown very strong, their promotions have been great and nobody seems to be missing Gran Turismo besides a few diehard fans (No pun intented).
Reading a bit through the forum also learns me that Dirt, PCARS, Assetto Corsa and other racers easily have filled up the gap Gran Turismo has left. Due to its very long development cycle PD seems to have made themselves obsolete to the racing genre.
As said earlier I think internally PD and Sony have a strong disagreement to where to take the series. Wouldn't surprise me if they decide to skip PS4 and make GTS a launchtitle for PS5 late 2018.

Bolded: PD is one of the golden children of Sony, one of the few completely first party developers they have under their control, and one of the oldest in that regard.
I'll be honest and say that Polyphony has been consistently left in the dust with the output of other developers in the industry. But what's more telling is that this isn't a two horse anymore like when GT4 came out, where the only real competition that GT had that could come close to their quality and output was Codemasters. Now you have SMS, Kunos, T10, and that doesn't even take into account the sim developers that are on PC like Reiza, Simbin, etc.
Every time I come into this forum, I'm seeing why I stopped caring for GT as a whole: they have been extremely slow to get with the times, to make a game in a reasonable time frame, and to update the happenings of their game. When two of their last three games (5, now Sport) have had dead times rivaling Duke Nukem Forever, it doesn't instill much confidence. Especially when you compared how active Ian Bell and the guys from Kunos are in updating their games in social media. Kaz has no such social media presence, and seems to give less of a flying **** about the fact that the racing game industry, nonetheless the sim industry, has been increasingly leaving him and PD behind. It's all under a bubble.

2018 is already sounding ludicrous for the reasons we mentioned, but I think moving GTS as a launch game on a yet to be released platform is out of the question. PD take years to code something for any given platform so they would have to throw all their work on PS4/pro since 2013 out of the window and start all over again
Nah not gonna happen.
