They surely have to show something soon, otherwise that beta launch date is looking less and less likely. You can't just launch a beta with no promotion.

I'm personally worried by the fact that something ostensibly so close to being publicly playable (albeit in an early form) has so little promotional material and information being made available. GT6 probably had more, and that only had a very limited demo in the form of GT Academy 2013...

In the mobile world you can have "soft launches" of games, where they go live only in a few countries, with little fuss or fanfare. Never heard of anything like that on consoles, but there's a first for everything I guess.

Same here, the possibility that they've simply announced too early and it won't be "ready" in time is a lingering worry. Whatever "ready" means - in practice "beta" means different things to different devs, and we don't know what that means for PD yet, although since the proper release date target is not much further away, presumably they expect the beta to be in a fairly advanced state.

This is just a gut feeling (no evidence/good reasoning to back it up), but I think since this is PD's first foray into a beta/early access release (unless you count the prologues as such thing), they would rather delay the beta release, than releasing whatever is done on schedule, and facing backlash if it's poor quality, or a longer and protracted beta period.

You can, but why would they do that with Gran Turismo, one of their strongest franchises?

Besides, with the way PSN is set up it's basically impossible. People will just make a new account in the target territory and download it anyway.

Presumably it'll be an online stress test beta. It's likely that the main differentiating point for this game is the FIA online stuff, and historically GT's online has been shaky at best. It's not going to be up to snuff unless they have a new system, and that means it's going to need testing for potentially 5 million+ simultaneous users.

I doubt they'll be beta testing much of the single player stuff, because the value in doing so seems limited.

Meh. We've seen both responses out of them recently. GT5 was pushed and pushed and pushed. GT6 was thrown out to hit a date and problems dealt with afterwards.

It could go either way. Betas exist for the devs to learn stuff and fix issues with their product.

If they did this I'd be pissed. So would a lot of others.
 
Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed several times.

But they have respected the release date for Gran Turismo PSP and Gran Turismo 6.

The beta of GT Sport, I am very confident for it to be available early in 2016. And if the beta has no big problems then there will be no report for the full game.

This is just a supposition but GT Sport may be close to being finished. The period between the beta and the game's release will serve to fix eventual problems. Once again, it's a suppostion.

Realistically, I can't see anything beyond the end of March to the middle of April as being "early 2016", so it really shouldn't be too far off if that time window is to be reserved. The game's release is scheduled for "autumn 2016", which places it in a September-November 2016 window.

This is really the time period we're looking at, and we are yet to see if Polyphony can stick to it.

Oh sorry I didn't mean to imply they could do a "limited terrority" launch with Gran Turismo, my point was there are games that are released as public betas which aren't heavily promoted beforehand (albeit for a host of mobile-related reasons that don't usually apply to console games).

So I don't think it's impossible there may be little promotion/info before the GT Sport beta is in our hands. Very unlikely given the strength of the franchise as you say, but weirder things have happened - the lack of promotion of GT PSP springs to mind.

Agreed, this seems the most likely reason they're having a public beta at all, and I presume the core game will be all but done. The interesting thing I think is how feature-complete PD will want the beta to be, plus what sort of roadmap they have for introducing content, and how that ties in with the beta phase.

Fair point - PD being inconsistent, who'da thunk it :D

Whilst that is technically correct it is rather disingenuous to suggest they 'respected' the release date of the PSP Gran Turismo game in general. That is about as far from the truth as you can get. GT6 was the first GT product in a long, long time, that didn't have any official delays.

The beta of GT Sport, I am very confident for it to be available early in 2016.

What is your confidence based on, out of interest?

To be fair, the last few pages have centred around the significance of not having any new screenshots/trailers, which is directly related to the topic of GT Sport's "trailers, videos and screenshots".
Click to expand...
I really don't think this is the thread for that kind of discussion. This thread should be silent until a video / screenshot or anything related gets posted, then we discuss what we see, then when that discussion is over, the thread goes silent again. Anyone agree?

They sure respected the October 1, 2009 release date of that gutted GT4 port they announced on May 16, 2004.

He isn't even technically correct. Kaz himself originally claimed April of 2005. Sony later said 2006 at the latest when they officially delayed it in October of 2005.

So...... GTS is looking at a 2020 release date? :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:. For when the Nissan VGT gets released as the new GTR :cheers:

IMO, I think we would have to wait 'till Geneva. I mean, Bugatti can advertise GT sport with the Chiron like Ford (stupidly) did to... a year ago with the GT

Why are you suggesting they do something you believe to be "stupid"? Nevermind that, why was it stupid? The GT was one of the big surprises at Detroit last year, in an industry where that is increasingly rare.

Sorry, I was in a wrong mood last time, I don't think that was stupid, I'm agree that it was a right move, specially the GT being one of the big surprises last year. What I'm saying it's that Bugatti can also do that with the Chiron, and knowing Polyphony, easily Kaz can appear at Geneva and talk about the car and the game, making it better. Again, sorry, I wasn't in the mood to post. Never gonna happen again :)

The Playstation blog mentions Spring for the beta, so possibly March to June. It might also be linked to the release of Playstation VR.

Sadly.

Why is it sad? Isn't that what a teaser trailer is supposed to do, generate interest before the main announcement?

Every other game is coming out with news left and right while GTS only have one trailer that barley showed us anything. Not to mention that it's been 3 months or so since they came out with that trailer and haven't revealed anything since.

Well I assume he meant after it was re-announced at E3 2009 it wasn't delayed but yeah, that hardly tells the whole story. The game in general was more delayed than GT5.

We've seen more from FF7 Remake that is years off than GTS which has a beta in a few months. Granted it's a bit like Mass Effect but that will likely get delayed(unless they do a Fallout 4). I'm betting on a GTS delay.
