Let the speculating begin!

Yes but the point is he didn't find the production model, i'm sure he would have done if it was there. Thats why I found it odd you saying that.

Maintenance on 15th, probably update with full-model.

Yep, there you go then.

When reading that he said "Additional Corvette C7" , what else could it have meant? I was aware it might not be but considering up until now there has been only 1 C7, I'm at the same time wasn't discounting it. I said that its "likely" and "Going off that", not flat out claiming it is (I've seen enough Claims turn out not true at all).

 

[Samus]

The one he mentioned, a tuner version still with camo.

Amar, do you believe we can see anything *more* in this next update other than the C7 full model? Or even have more updates/DLC this year?

 

[Nurburgthing.]

2 hours is a hefty maintenance session.

Being the optimist that I am, we'll see more than the C7.

Either that or they'll spend the whole time removing glitched GT-A stuff from accounts

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Ninja edit ( fixing + adding ) and clean up by PD

Maintenance time wouldn't be directly linked to content.

Yes, thankyou Simon, I know this.

Thats why I mentioned that i'm an optimist and, added another suggestion as to what they may do with the time instead of adding content.

Here is to something besides the C7!👍

Seconded:tup:👍

I wouldn't be so quick to say this Simon. I used to think the same way and damn near everytime I was proven wrong. I think its a safe bet to say that this maintenence means either content or improvements. (or in otherwords, an update)

No I said the maintenance time, I meant two hour maintenance doesn't mean a bigger update than if it was one hour, there isn't a direct correlation as he hinted at.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Ahh, ok then. My misunderstanding. And yea, I wonder why this maintence is longer than usual.

 

[Samus]

Haven't a lot of them been four hours?

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Haven't a lot of them been four hours?

4 hours? Isn't this maintenence just 2 hours? And no, for the most part, they are generally just one hour. There's been a few that have been longer, but not many.

 

[GTPorsche]

Haven't a lot of them been four hours?

I think those 4 hour ones ended up being emergency maintenance.

 

[JER_CREST]

this is a good amount of time for maintenance 2 hours.

 

[RACECAR]

4 hours? Isn't this maintenence just 2 hours? And no, for the most part, they are generally just one hour. There's been a few that have been longer, but not many.

As far as I can recall, it usually seems to be no longer then two hours.

 

[JeremiahTB]

Going by what Kaz said about DLC in the past, they are overdue on releasing some; so that would be nice if this maintenance brought a little. But I'm not holding my breath, Kaz likes to promise the moon but deliver space junk. Don't get me wrong, space junk is cool, but the moon would be a sweet place to build a moonbase.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

As far as I can recall, it usually seems to be no longer then two hours.

No, I'm pretty sure its normally just an hour. My time, its usually from 11pm to midnight EST.

 

[JJSCHMITTY2000]

Hopefully they relese something big that's not detrimental to the game. I'd even take another skyline, if it was free, and looked amazing. I would like the Bently as a prenium if there was DLC.

 

[thelvynau]

If there is a dlc then I still think it will all be about the C7 production car.

 

[JJSCHMITTY2000]

Likely, given how much of a deal they made with Chevy to let them have the proto.

 

[Lock2Lock]

Well i think if anything is going to happen as in (IF) a update would be the new corvette. Since the car is being shown here in Detroit tomorrow.

Thats what we said.

13th = Sunday.

 

[Lock2Lock]

13th = Sunday.

Yeah i know that hahaha. It is 1am here. So that's why i said tomorrow

Thats what we said.

And yeah I agree

Credit goes to Raitzinger for finding this interesting link

Key part thats interesting:

“Because of the heritage of Corvette is a little bit more of a Midwest sports car, the successful plumber,” Perry said. “That’s one of the things we’re going to change, especially on the coasts.”

In trend-setting cities such as Los Angeles and Miami, he wants the new Corvette to attract attention from buyers in their 30s and 40s making around $150,000 annually, while still appealing to loyalists.

Part of GM’s plan to make the car more aspirational to younger people includes promoting the Corvette in video games, Perry said. GM worked with Sony Corp. to make available in November a camouflaged version of the new Corvette in the popular PlayStation 3 video game “Gran Turismo.”

The new version of the Corvette will be available Jan. 14 for the video game, Perry said. The real car reaches showrooms by year’s end.

That would mean we would be getting this not after the maintanence, but before. That could suggest that this is being unvieled in-game alongside the real one, or so many would like to see anyway. Either way, interesting to speculate about.
