Looks photoshopped.

Edit: And the button style doesn't really fit with the others. Also, the thread title is mis-leading.

Isn't the "?" the manual/help section for the game?

The "i" is probably just information like latest news, version number things like that.

The "latest news" thing is a good guess, forgot about that. Anyway, it is there for a reason and I am curious for which reason. :D

You know what's sad in all these rewind jokes. In the old days, players would practice a track lap after lap to get it right. Corner after Corner looking for the right driving line and topping your last lap time. The good old days.

Now we have people requesting hand holding trapeziums. If this was a Need for speed or Grid then i would understand. But these are people who are supposedly GT fans. I simply cannot believe somone who plays and lives GT would request such a feature. Simply cannot.

Just step away from GT a little bit and venture out to another game called Dark souls. Oh i would love someone to tell a DS fan about introducing rewind in to that game. And that's crux of the issue.

Gran Turismo makes you a better player. It doesn't hold your hand. You jack up a corner you try it again. I remember the formula GT A Spec races. The sheer tension of the last lap knowing full well that a slip would cost me places which is so hard to get back. That's what seperates GT from other games. The sense of achievement. It's something built over a decade spanning 5 installments of the series. It's what makes it unique.


And yet certain people want it to be another clone. Another run of the mill game. Another easy game. All i can say Thank goodness Kaz didnt add it. I never doubted him but it's easy to fall into the mindset of pleasing everyone and yet this mentality often accomplishes nothing in the end. And it also makes GT lose it's greatest assest. It's greatest feature which surpasses all other games. It's called individualism. It has craved a spot in racing games for itself. Uniqueness is often to attain in a crowded market like the gaming industry. Kaz knows this and copying a feature which dilutes the series would turn it into another arcadey game which they are literally swarming around in the market.


Thank You Kaz. Stay true to your ideas and your philosophies. It's what makes me buy this series over and over again. The moment this is lost would be the day i part away from it

Kudos to that. 👍

I agree with you, and that's what I'm playing Gran Turismo for.
 
It being official doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't been photochopped...

I mean, aren't we expecting updates to the UI? At the very least in terms of speed, but "usability" was mentioned, which may mean it's been tweaked in layout etc. and extra stuff put in, e.g. the Course Creator shortcut requested above.

Besides, there were those shots that came out before release that were clearly prototypes, photochops of ideas, and in some cases you could even see the UI as we know it coming together step by step (almost). Of course, you could argue the whole (final) UI in game is still a photoshop. ;)


The other option is they did it deliberately to see how long we'd gabber about it for, and it'll be nowhere to be seen in the update on Tuesday... :ouch:

how is it misleading
they are possible screenshots of the upcoming spec 2

I see a "Possible Screenshots" title I think about clicking on the thread and seeing screenshots of in game stuff, like cars on track, etc.

This thread should be titled "Possible new feature? Screenshot inside" or something similar.
 
OK guys, as we all know this thread has been filled with flame wars and arguments, so I've contacted Omnis and he's gonna clean this thread up. 👍
 
Or "Possible 2.0 Menu pictures" or "UI shots". I agree, I also thought it's about in-game stuff. Nothing too major though. ;)

Upload videos to YouTube button?
Click to expand...

Unlikely. It would've been in the Replays section if it was an upload button. Also, as R1600 said it kinda looks out-of-theme compared to the other buttons on the screen. My best guess is that it is an in-game DLC store, if the DLC will be large enough to actually need an in-game store. The i Icon I'm not too sure... But we'll have to wait until Tuesday 👍
 
In North/South America, it's usually/always night time when updates are released. After 10 pm, but not too much after midnight should be about the time our parts get it.

Unless the pattern breaks.

Probably the Spec 2 intro features cars and tracks of the DLC.

Updates are up arround 5 am CET. We don't have to wait much more.

I'm hoping they have some good real world tracks. They might try and kill any buzz with Forza by releasing DLC information later on today. People will be posting images of tracks with this smiley :drool:. However I'm expecting the worst, as in mimimal downloadable content and minor changes in physics and UI. It would be good if they have graphics options to say simplify shadows and stuff for better frame rate and look. It will be even better if they fix the issues as standard.
