I've personally never said anything about PD lying or anything of the sort. Sure, I'm upset but I'm allowed to be and I'm also allowed to express that on a public forum in any way I see fit so long as it follows the forum guidelines.

It was more for those who seem to go to the extreme and start making stuff up etc complaining is fine but the complaining where they go as far as convincing themselves that PD lied and start attacking PD over it etc is lame as hell and they need to get a grip.

My point was that Catalunya came in the very next update after it was revealed at the European regional final. Also Fuji actually was released the same month it was revealed (September 2018).

And Tokyo Expressway South Loops
 
There is no point arguing with people that behave like an "entitled children". Truth is when someone makes mistakes there would be a lot of people pointing fingers and coming out "with pitchforks", that is just how it is nowadays (a bit hypocritical imo).
So the best thing to do is to ignore these people and if you as a person understands than just do what you do.
It is frustrating but everyone makes mistakes.

Exclusive VGT cars (three in recent months), partnerships with Toyota, Porsche, Mazda and Michelin, Spa, Laguna Seca (at some point), the return of Ruf...

Scraps?

Toyota? Sure, I don't like the Supra and the new 86, but that's legitimate.
Porsche? You've got 5 or 6 other games with Porsches after the exclusivity finally expired, and the VGT's arriving in late 2020, around PS5 date release.
Mazda? I don't even know when the VGT will come to GT Sport. Did they say it? There's not even a post on Gran Turismo's website.
Michelin? No sign of change other than some stickers and some branding here and there.
Spa? As I said, they teased it without releasing it just to get more hype in the community. Fortunately we got it and some strange things that people thought were going to happen didn't happen.
Ruf? They had no problem with Ruf for the first 6 games, there was no actual reason to doubt it would return.

The thing is that, eventually, Polyphony delivers. But sometimes I don't really know what they're thinking when they do certain choices. First of all, they don't even directly respond to the community. We have to chat here on GTPlanet because they don't have an official forum, and I'm sure that they do read this forum from time to time, but they never did a direct Q&A to the community as far as I remember.
For example, Laguna Seca is not in the next update despite being said that it would be. Why? Total radio silence. No response from Sony or Polyphony. If they at least explained what went wrong so that they changed their mind at the last second, most people including me would understand.
But I guess that's just how the Japanese act.


My rant is over. Now, talking about the cars in the next update, I'm really looking forward to the Amemiya and the Ruf, they look really interesting. I had great fun with both in GT5 and 6.

I just want to know that when they add GT League events why do they add so few?

Glad to see that that Boxer Cup gets some new events because that can be challenging when you use the older TT.

Last month we got Real Circuit Tours updated which again can be a challenge with the A110 (especially when you’re seeded with a M4 rabbit). So, that’s back-to-back challenging series’ updated!
 
So we get the Lewis Hamilton challenge and the cars this month and possibly a new track next month. So at least during the festive month they treat us with more free gifts. A few more weeks wait isn't going to kill us.

Glass half full I say. The game had been out for over 2 years without Laguna Seca, and people are still playing it. Surely people aren't bored of Spa Francorchamps already and need another instant new track fix by tomorrow at the latest or they will lose their minds?
 
Did we really expect anything other than the game NOT having Laguna Seca included in this DLC, I for one wasn't expecting
it this soon although it would have been nice.

At least it means we get a new track soon along with another Circuit Exp, I will be too busy working on liveries for the new cars anyway
so the wait is perfectly fine.

Better with what we have than expecting nothing other than the paid DLC.

Great. Not sure how you can call all that content "scraps" though.

For reference, the Mazda's date was given as "for the 2020 FIA Season", rather than a specific moment - it likely means March, or before. The Michelin partnership is a multi-year thing and starts as stickers and billboards but will - according to both Michelin and PD - be used to evolve the game's tyre models. GT Sport is the only game with the Taycan (pre-launch for the car too), and will be the only game with the Porsche VGT. The Porsche "Living Legend" might be exclusive too, but I'm not sure - there's also all the other Porsches added to the game since launch. Spa came once QA allowed it, and included rain from the start - unlike all the other added-later tracks. Ruf literally doesn't appear in any other game that also has Porsche apart from (for some reason) The Crew 2. There was every reason to doubt Ruf's return - and the fact it's come back with a car that has a Ruf body rather than a Porsche one is intriguing.

The first "they" in this case is someone from PlayStation's social media/video team who typed a video description. The second "they" is Polyphony Digital. These are not the same people, and indeed are several steps of management apart from one another.

At this point it's either a completely separate announcement, or the first "they" made a mistake which you're holding the second "they" to account for.
 
Has anyone noticed the article advises this is update 1.50, typo or was there another updated between 1.47 (October) and 1.48 (Bug Fixes)?
 
To me, this suggests either a mistake on behalf of the PlayStation media department or a possible sign of last-minute issues with Laguna Seca that need extra time to be sorted out (not going to speculate on what they might be, though). It would've been a nice bonus if it had been included in tomorrow's update, but I'm not going to bust a blood vessel over it.

Still looking forward to the arrival of the E46 M3...

July 1.23 was the update after the May 1.19 update. There was no (major content) update in June, and I don't remember there being 3 minor updates in between that.
 
Judging by some people's reactions, it looks like the world is ending tomorrow because Laguna Seca is not coming. I really don't understand why they are reacting like this. They didn't pre-order the DLC to say that PD lied/stole their money by not releasing the track tomorrow.
It's just a track that you know for sure that'll come in a future update.
Calm down and enjoy the free content of tomorrow's update because it is pretty good!
 
God, I wish PD should stop making free content and focus on their next game already. They already proved their point that they can support a game for more than a year. They're just spoiling their fanbase and it'll surely backfire on them on their future games.

Here we go again... the "they gave us free content for x amount of time so stop complaining and deal with it" mentality...

I think it's more people are already fed up with the silly pearl-clutching over a communication mistake.

Just a small part of the pearl-clutching that happens in every single update thread, I guess. :rolleyes:

There is still another FIA season next year for GT Sport. Polyphony is not focusing on GT Sport still just to add free content. That would be ridiculous.

I hope someone can tune this into a car that I can actually drive...

So, is this a Rotary car? If so, my prediction of new races in the Rotary event looks solid.

Also, I'm trying to work out what cars @05XR8 will be running on the Real Circuit Tours tomorrow :sly:. BMW, then Re Amemiya, then the new 86 .

Can someone post drivetrain and BHP figures for each car other than the Jaaaaaaag please :cheers:. Trying to work out what cars will be eligible for what races in GT League.

I've only got Mazdas in my garage. So, it'll be the, you guessed it, FD3S as my go to. I want it to be META for the N300/N500 FIA races. I need it to smash the X-Bow and S-FR Concept. ;)
 
I can take or leave Laguna Seca, I don't much care for it. Other than that there's a nice selection of cars there.
 
Alright, I got the negative out of my system. So for anyone who has played the previous games, what can you tell me about the RUF and the RE Almeyama? I’ve never heard of these cars until today and that they are returning from GT5 or 6? The RUF seems like it might be a fun addition at N700.
 
I bet PD added this GT86 so whenever they use that Fuji Speedway X N200 (Toyota GT86 + Subaru BRZ) daily race they have an excuse because it's technically a difficult combination.

Jokes aside, I'm both surprised and shocked that RUF is returning, especially since the car we're getting is not based on a Porsche we already have, and that they just extended their Porsche partnership.

I can't remember if the RUF was one of the ones in GT5 or 6 but the RE Aimeyama is from previous GT games including GT6. I believe it's a time attack/hill climb style tuned road car.
