Let the speculation begin: Insider teasing from Amar212

[SavageEvil]

1st. thing is definitely about VGT cars, the latter part reveals them "never" solidifies it.
2nd. changing tides could be the flow of content being better on time even.
3rd. Voices heard/unimaginable fashion have they figured out how to play back sounds correctly even for add on parts?
4th. in the very near future shapes will become forms? Track Editor or some sort of livery editor we have blank slate cars

Sounds interesting and looks to be tied to GT5 server shutdown and GT6 getting those guys to manage online. I say we get a community mod to which PD can relay information and him relay our thoughts. The main GT team will move on to GT for PS4 as GT6 will really only need maintenance/problem solvers from here on in, going off the assumption that they have an audio update in store(if it meets Project cars audio, I'd literally fangirl scream). There'll probably be coders still tidying up the visuals and keeping the 16 car insanity smooth as possible on the PS3.
I am concerned about the track editor as if it's back drops are varied enough and the data we are allowed to enter is specific enough, we'd never need track DLC ever again(well I wouldn't pay for it if I could build it).

Whatever it is they have in store I just hope that we do get a way to contact PD and let them know how it works for us, a community moderator is needed badly.

Subscribing because awesome.

6 7 8. ?!



Right now, the hype train is getting speed.

78 is likely

 

[stiggygonzalez]

Amar are you Kaz?
Maybe the changing tides has something to do with the moon?
And maybe PD are listening to the players/fans voices?

 

[AudiMan2011]

My speculations:

Significant developments are preparing, one of them will be unprecedented in the series history. I think it will be announced sooner than later - Possibly GPS Track Creator?

The maintenance is coming - First Senna content likely.

Some beautiful non-existant presents are a bit late, but it is better to get them after, than getting them never.- New VGTs perhaps?

And tides will change.- More content being developed for GT6 following GT5 server shutdown?


And voices will be heard in the unimaginable fashion. - Community features coming soon?

And in the very near future, the shapes will become forms. - New course maker? More customisation features?

It starts with this maintenance and it will continue to evolve. - More Senna content to be announced?

Progress and evolution are inevitable laws of nature that can only be postponed, never stopped.- Possible inclusion of a livery editor for GT7 on PS4?

 

[sems4arsenal]

Theory time: PD decides to wait for the month of Senna's passing which also happens to host GTAcademy so there is alot of interest aswell as being the month before E3 to release everything they have?

makes sense in a way.

More time-trials! YAY!

Does anyone remember that black and white car from the Silverstone trailer? It looked a bit like the Honda HSC and the GTR concept, was it's identity ever found? I remember a lot of people trying to work out what it was and some were even speculating about it being a custom made car, but I lost track of the thread from there.

If not, I wonder if that will be coming soon. Maybe a really early VGT design?

 

[linoleum]

I think the whole "shapes become forms" is a clear nod to the VGT shadows on the menu becoming available... at least a few of them. Anyway you slice it... it seems a significant amount of changes to something... and that is good!

Where in this exactly?

@gtuned I know the one he means, but I didn't see it in that trailer either.

Alright, now for my speculations of sillyness.
1. "non-existant presents", that could be referring to the vision GT cars or track dlc. Most likely the vision GT cars since we only got the 2 Merc Vision GT cars so far when we should have at least 4 by now.

2. "Voices will be heard in the unimaginable fashion." It's either of the following; PD maybe paying attention to their fans now and willing to try to satisfy their requests, the course maker, or maybe even a livery edition (this is very unlikely though).

3. "shapes will become forms"; It could mean that the things PD said they were going to add into GT6 in updates will finally be added, the impending senna content, or once again; the course maker.

4. "It starts with the maintenance and it will continue to evolve"; After the maintence this week, GT6 will be finally coming together and the GT franchise will start changing for the better.

It's in the GT teaser trailer.

Coincidentally I was just researching this an hour ago. This is the correct video:



I came up with nothing in the end once more.

 

[Samus]

This one and no, it was never solved.

 

[Huks]

Where in this exactly?

Not that one, this one.


It's at 0:20.

Incidentally, it has now been almost a year since GT6 was announced. It's crazy how the time goes...

EDIT: I spent like ten minutes passively looking for this video and when I finally did find it, I wound up getting tree'd by a couple of seconds by two different people. My typical luck...

 

[White & Nerdy]

How afriad is he that his true identity will be discovered, that he speaks in riddles like this to disguise himself as a source of information?

It has nothing to do with fear. He is just not allowed to give us this information, but he is able to work around this with the riddles.

My $0.02

The maintenance is coming. Some beautiful non-existant presents are a bit late, but it is better to get them after, than getting them never.
Introduction of some of the features we're waiting for.

And tides will change.
The changes are so big attitudes towards the game will change.

And voices will be heard in the unimaginable fashion.
Sound update....or Kaz will speak English.

And in the very near future, the shapes will become forms.
VGT

It starts with this maintenance and it will continue to evolve. Progress and evolution are inevitable laws of nature that can only be postponed, never stopped.
They've been working on the game all along but instead of trickling out features they wanted to do it all at once or at least much of it in one big splash. They will continue to work on the game and promises will be made about future content. This maintenance is the beginning of a new era for GT6.

So pretty much spec 2.0?

I'm loving the logic of your speculative guess. Seriously sounds so right to my ears. Damn, I had been quietly bored for so many weeks, but the posts in this thread have lit a fire up underneath me again. Double aces 👍

 

[Johnnypenso]

Possibly. Depends on the breadth of features they include. It would explain all the silence the last few months and the lack of updating to include new features. We can only hope.

I'd expect this as the precursor to spec 2.0. I have a feeling that it's the start to a long turnaround, rather than one big turnaround.

Turn around, bright eyes.

Spec 2.0 wouldn't mean much if it was just shoving things that had been promised into the game.

I actually enjoy the time trials.

[Johnnypenso]

Spec 2.0 wouldn't mean much if it was just shoving things that had been promised into the game.

In GT5 Spec 2.0 included a whole bunch of unexpected stuff like multiple tuning setups, changes to the online lounge, login bonus, 2011 Nascar cars etc., so I'd expect GT6 Spec 2.0 would be the same. They may not be at that stage yet as Amar seems to indicate, but one big feature like the Course Maker, the Senna stuff and some unannounced content would be quite welcome.

EDIT: Not the same content wise, but the same in terms of dramatic effect to the overall game experience.
