I'd rather see this thread continue than a whole new thread titled "GT and E3."
And after amar212's remarks, I'm wondering if the coy way that those in the know are discussing the eventual reveal of GT7 has the meaning being kicked around by a few here. That being, it won't be at E3 itself. Or, that a GT6 remake or Prologue is in the wings.
Honestly, if GT6 looked as good as P CARS - including Standard cars, hee
- who wouldn't be much happier with it? The graphic glitches and overdone dynamic lighting bothers me more than any other issue with the game, and seems to be true with most gamers. The hardcore purists here and on the nets have epical tantrums about the sounds, lack of damage and Standard content, and sure, this needs to be dealt with on PS4. But it seems that even gaming journos aren't as bent about that as the diehards here.
So what I expect is one - or so - of these possibilities this year.
- GT7 isn't going to be ready any earlier than the holidays 2016, and rather than face a backlash from angry fans of "promises" that fail to manifest, he'd rather remain silent until several months prior to release. No GT7 news until next spring at the earliest.
- GT6 is getting a serious boost this year. Not only is the FIA Championship going to result in a load of goodies for GT6 including a nice Spec 2 update featuring a proper online build among other things, but a GT6 A-Spec HD remake is coming for PS4. The real goodies will be included in this release, such as new cars and a few tracks, the new Course Maker, an Event Maker good for offline single player as well as online play, Race Mod for a good number of cars, a Livery Maker to personalize them, a seriously overhauled GT Mode career, a damage build, improved A.I., the GT7 engine with improved physics and graphics, and many other enhancements along with its own FIA Championships. They won't be the full blown features, which will be reserved for GT7, but they will wonderfully enhance the Gran Turismo experience and make it a worthy addition to the PS4 lineup. It will be released along with the new Logitech wheel, and will include Morpheus and possibly Occulus Rift support.
- GT6 will get a nice Spec 2 update with a few goodies such as online system enhancements, an Event Maker, some new cars and tracks along with the FIA Championships. But along with this will be a GT7 Prologue coming in fall 2015. The new Logitech wheel will be released along with them, and Prologue will feature Morpheus support.
- At E3, SONY officials will be making coy remarks that Polyphony has been hard at work on GT7, and to wait and see for something special in the coming days. Then at some automotive event, GamesCom, Tokyo Games Show or some special event out of nowhere, Kaz will personally reveal that GT7 is nearly complete, and will launch in 2016.
If Kaz wants to make a Gran Turismo as ambitious as I want it to be, it may take three full years of work or more, so GT7's release might slip past holidays 2016. In this scenario, I'm banking on some form of Gran Turismo on PS4 this year to tide fans over and keep gamers from focusing on the other racers, especially Forza 6.
There are advantages and disadvantages of doing a reveal outside of E3. Inside, you have a ready made platform to strut your stuff before the assembled gaming audience and journalists from all over. But you also have to compete with hundreds of other games and showy events for attention. Outside it, you have a chance with a megagame like Gran Turismo to shine like a nova and have all the attention to yourself, and that is how Kaz showcased GT6.
SONY could possibly be punking us all, and GT7 might just make a surprise showing at E3. Stranger things have happened. But regardless, I expect something of Gran Turismo to be there.
GT7 take a hike! 
PCARS + AC = PERFECTION 👍
