It's now March; where is our promised community update?

[snoopybg]

28th-Last chance for PD to redeem a minor part of its lost credibility. I'm guessing we will witness another shameless lie.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I surely remember them updating the original announcement saying they would be released at the end of January, which they were. It must have been an error in communication with multiple things being discussed at the time.

Exactly. So it's possible more of these missed deadlines can be traced to confusion between PD and people speaking for them.

 

[Jordan]

I know you didn't make any mistakes in your reporting, but that doesn't mean they gave you the correct information.

For example:
"As previously announced, it will be released in February, along with the Red Bull X2014 Standard and X2014 “Fan Car” models."
That made it sound like the Red Bull cars would be released with the new track through one update in February. We now know that is not the case, and it brings in to question all the other things they have told you.

Oh, no, that particular sentence was sourced from Kazunori in a Taipei interview. I was never personally told anything about the Red Bull cars in combination with the track or the "February update", it's just the phraseology I used in that post. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[machschnel]

I have spoken with SCEA and the update is coming

This is Polyphony's biggest problem.

We finally receive some semblance of news (still nothing solid) and it's because Jordan has gone and asked for it! Why not tell the players directly? What about the millions of GT players who don't come to GTPlanet? Everyone is always so fond of saying that GTPlanet only represents a small minority of GT players, so what about the majority? Who will tell them?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Even if we do get an update there will still be people complaining and asking for another one.

Correct.

 

[HuskyGT]

BMW.

I'm happy.

 

[MockngBrd]

Here's the Hype Train

 

[RACECAR]

Here's the Hype Train

All aboard...the ambulance to the nearest hospital.

 

[Quakebass]

The February update is not coming in February.

I asploded.

 

[TurismoBad]

Well morning peeps. Oh what I see, what I see! Some confirmations - nice 👍

I say a new VGT and most likely the track, minor tweaks and no features. That's my cold prediction before taking my prediction skewing espresso

 

[elston87]

Welp, the ice has shattered. The monthly update ritual has been broken.

Oh well; at least Jordan relieved most of the people here with a release window. Thank goodness for that, and thanks again for the information, Jordan~

 

[X30 Driv3r]

And we are still waiting :-D

 

[Mubble]

Just the fact that it is on it's way is very pleasing to hear. I appreciate it Jordan, and I'm sure many others here do as well.

I'm satisfied. Done simple. Thank you Jordan.

But we already know "its coming". I don't see why you're excited about being told this again :-/


Did you think the track editor feature had been cancelled?

 

[Flaren89]

So... No track and no 1.05... Meh, at PD didn't learn the lesson from the GT5 delay "Don't say date releases if you are not sure to release contents for that day"...

True , I'm playing GT since December , before I was on Forza ( 2_3_4) !!!!
And WHat I can't understand is how people can still playing and being fan of GT after years of empty promises.
As I said I'm playing gt6 since 3 months and for sure I'm gonna leave it next month. I can't understand how PD is manage and how they treat us.
When you heard arguments from KAZ and others like " sorry it will give to much liberty to the player" ....dude don't be silly we are on earth like you.

So does anyone can advice me a future nice game for drifting please (no pc) ?

 

[Speedracer8218]

Great news though. Interesting days ahead.

Well I'm sure if nothing comes out in a week someone will start another thread titled "it's almost May where's our update?" And we can do this all over again

 

[MockngBrd]

I guess PD's now too busy with real life events

I'm not saying that PD's communication is ok (sometimes I think it doesn't even exist ) , but then I don't see T10s is any different .After playing FM since 2007 I'm perfectly aware that outside community events with devs ,I don't see T10 ever explained anything about timelines or things they're doing until they were done for release. Fixes ? They are coming or not. Tracks ? They're coming or not. Remember Horizon fiasco ? . Heck , they didn't want to tell how many cars, tracks will be in FM5 till it was released > hundreds of cars ? dozens of tracks ? I wouldn't show them as an example of good communication, but for sure they are better in marketing bs.

 

[snoopybg]

Yes, until I get the full game advertised on the box. You know, the one I paid a full price for.

 

[snowgt]

Hmm. I still hope this coming update will be more than "just" another concept car. Of course, fixing the bugs and new cars don't have much to do with each other regarding the development timeframe, but it starts getting annoying that we can't even do what we were able to do in GT5. Online-races with pitstops? Practically impossible...

Update-wise, for me it's...

Bug fixes > New (promised) Features > DLC (cars, tracks; where is the monthly DLC, anyway?) > concepts

 

[Dionisiy]

Just wait...

 

[Devil240Z]

Just wait...

cough*dont care*cough

 

[Imari]

Just wait...

I'd rather have just about any real BMW that isn't in the game instead (*cough*E30 M3*cough*), but that's just me.

Yess totally agree with Forza Horizon, also it wasn't for us but for people who don't even play car video games.
IMO Turn 10 communicate more with us ( and it is easy if you compare to PD )
Also one of the most important things is :
-they respect deadlines and there is no empty promises.

But don't worry I'm also disappointing with Forza .

Wouldn't surprise me at this point.

 

[Davoxx]

No please , this the reason why I bought GT6 ;( !!!

 

[altid6]

Please let the update containe bug fixing and promised features.
We already have plenty of cars and tracks.

 

[Fanapryde]

Yes, until I get the full game advertised on the box. You know, the one I paid a full price for.

I have the GT6 box (not the anniversary editiion) and the booklet in front of me.
Unless I'm overlooking something I see no items advertised that are not already in the game.

While it is true that some stuff needs correcting and I wouldn't mind some extra content and/or features...

 

[Smuttysy]

I'm taking this latest news with a pinch of salt too. I mean no disrespect to you Jordan, but it's not been officially reported to us by PD/Sony. Until it is written and reported to the community as a whole by them, and therefore also giving a representatives name to put in the hangman's noose when it doesn't happen, it's still pure speculation and rumour, albeit from a massively more credible source this time.
