GT7 Apparently September 2024 Update Prediction

[xDriver69x]

I predict, no I suspect the system update yesterday laid the PSSR ground work and is already partially in effect. The timing of all the pieces to be in place sometimes is in multiple hands...

 

[Doncarlone]

2 months without updates will be a new low for PD.

 

[MineralBlurb7]

Maybe there won’t be an update ever again.

 

[Ande3200]

Maybe there won’t be an update ever again.

That would mean gt8 is closer than most relise.
The focus proably already have been more focused towards gt8 than gt7.

 

[GlamFM]

Really hoping for silhouettes today to make this nonsense stop.

Don't know whats worse - the whining or the doom posting?

Don't know whats worse - the whining or the doom posting?

Is there a difference?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Maybe there won’t be an update ever again.

They certainly aren't obliged to keep doing it.

I think PD is just more busy than usual. They are working on the trial version of GT7, PS5 Pro enhancements and likely also the demo for TGS. Game is not dead.

“But the employees adding new cars and events aren’t the same employees doing graphics etc.”

It doesn’t matter. Development studios can only have so much on their plate at once. If PD is skipping September it’s most likely because they have their hands full and are planning to preview the next content update with a trailer at the upcoming World Series event in Tokyo. They already took this approach in Montreal, so it’s hardly unthinkable they would do it again. The downside, however, is we would be in for another month of waiting.

The worst thing is they don’t communicate what’s going on. They kept us informed when they weren’t going to deliver on the expectation of a content update at the end of June.

They certainly aren't obliged to keep doing it.

Says who?

Says who?

Says no one. We expect it yes, but they don't have to keep updating the game. There's no obligation for them to keep giving us content, we haven't bought a season pass or anything to oblige it.

I'm sure they'll tell us when the final update comes of course, and GTS was supported for what, 4 years? But they don't have to.

 

[GlamFM]

Says who?

This isn't GT Sport anymore. I know that game and the way it was rolled out created some expectations, but at no time did PD say that we can or should expect regular updates for GT7 - much less monthly ones.

It’s not so much a matter of what they owe to the players, but PD is a business with many stakeholders. For example, we don’t know whether they already have made agreements with manufacturers to add their cars to GT7 later in 2024 or 2025 even. There can be many commitments we don’t know about.

Maybe, it's all speculation. All I'm saying is they don't have an obligation to keep adding content and updates. No one knows anything about their licensing deals, but we do know that a games content support will end at some point.

Let me assure you that stakeholders don't care about free updates what so ever.

 

[SPEEDY Peach]

Guys,if this month have no update, next month either, cuz ps5 pro's update is now clearly on November...

And all I’m saying is they maybe do have an obligation to do it. Support obviously will end at some point, but now doesn’t seem to be the right time with so much happening around GT7.

Bold claim. GT7 is still ranking in the sales charts. Don’t tell me that more than two years of regular content updates have had no influence on this. Besides, stakeholders have more interests than financial gains alone.

 

[GlamFM]

stakeholders have more interests than financial gains alone.

This is certainly not true. I'm also not convinced there is a measurable correlation between base game sales and monthly updates.

Look - we all like free stuff. We're just not entitled to it and that's something we have to deal with.

Given that the PS5 Pro launches on November 7, the GT7 PS5PE update will be on or before that. It's rational to expect it on October 24th/31st as part an expected (but not confirmed) October update - just like PSVR2 compatibility was included in 1.29.

 

[Nielsen]

This is certainly not true.

Let me rephrase that. Pleasing stakeholders isn’t all about the immediate transactions from selling a product. It can also be done through initiatives with indirect motives for financial gain.

Look - we all like free stuff. We're just not entitled to it and that's something we have to deal with.

I don’t think anyone is coming across entitled here. Players have become accustomed to regular content updates, so it’s only natural that responses are not so positive when nothing happens. It’s not necessarily complaints directed at PD. Some people would just like to have more of a good thing, and it’s hard to blame them for that. The updates being free or not is not even the main concern.

Well, that'll be cool!! so let's wait and see
