I dunno what there would be to gain from a roadmap that isn't there from the list of what to expect from updates they already gave us. They're not gonna reveal which cars are getting added ahead of time so it would just be a calendar with "new cars and course layouts" written every month, it would be cool to know when features like car selling or Sophy are getting added but that's super minor in the grand scheme of things.
New cars and course layouts.....maybe. that's the point, you or I don't know for sure what is coming, some months might have a track, some won't. How many do they plan to add in the next 6 months? 6? 3?
I played that once at the start because I had to and I haven’t played it once since then. They could delete it for all I care. The music is just meh in this game anyway. I shut it off.
Still waiting for the promised “can sell used cars by the end of April” update. Pretty disappointing.
It must have been an article I read because I specifically remember something about being able to sell used cars by the end of April.
"Near term updates" at the bottom.
It's not that people have forgotten. They'd just like Polyphony to be straight up and tell them instead of having to play silly guessing games.
Sounds fine. If they want to explicitly say that they'll be adding 3 cars and 1 course layout per month, and a new course on even numbered months then that's fine. Maybe you don't think that's valuable information, but for some people it would really raise their confidence in the game at the cost of very little effort on the part of Polyphony.
And I think they lost it again with how they handled the launch of GT7 and the implementation of microtransactions. But this doesn't need to be about trust, this is a commercial product. People paid money. Just tell us.
GT7 got me to buy a Series X to play Forza 7 (and 8 when it arrives).
"Millions of people" usually don't come back to play any game after any given timespan. Fallout 4 and Gran Turismo games are rare exceptions, where hundreds of thousands of gamers will keep coming back to replay a game within the first year which is basically a rerun for them at that point. Fallout has the benefit of mods to keep it fresh, but mods can only spruce up an already played game so much, so clearly it has a solid foundation. And it helped that the sequel wasn't what fans were expecting, and was rather sucky to boot. Last summer, FO4 was way up in the top played games on Steam, like 50-ish, but a killer mod had come out for it. Gran Turismo's claim to fame? I dunno, I guess a lot of people think it's pretty okay or something to go flying round a track over and over.
Oh have PD told you what that is then? Do let us all know.
It's a forum lol, who plays games anymorePeople are spending more time defending this game that playing it
With very dark clouds looming in the future.
It's not like roadmaps are a new thingNew cars and course layouts.....maybe. that's the point, you or I don't know for sure what is coming, some months might have a track, some won't. How many do they plan to add in the next 6 months? 6? 3?
What about events, is there going to be a month where they add 20, or 3, or 10?
Give people a solid outlook of what to expect and when. Right now all we are doing is making assumptions based on the past, that's not exciting, and it can also lead to disappointment when they dont mirror the past. That is avoided if people don't expect or hope for a new track this month if we already had a roadmap telling us new tracks would come in June, August and September, or whatever.
They dont even need to be that precise. Example of another Dev

No, he doesn't know, he hasn't got a clue what is coming in the next update, or the update after that, or the one after that, nor does he have a clue how long it will be before we can sell cars, at what point there will be a meaningful number of new events added etc. That's the problem and that's his point.
What will those 6 cars be?
I don't know how anybody can disagree with this.
What I'm saying is hardly irrational. The lack of communication is an issue which cannot be excused in this day and age. We have come a long way from gaming magazines and demo discs.Yes, that the intranets are an irrational mess in this enlightened New Age.
People are now arguing that the game is trash because... all kinds of reasons. It's not even as good as iRenting to some folk. That's some apples and sheetmetal comparison. I didn't expect this thread to be all that rational, and I wasn't disappointed.
I know it's almost May 32 with no sign of new content, but there's still the second Tuesday at the end of June.
There is a reason to be optimistic about the future if GT Sport is anything to go by but why do we have to wait for things that should've been in the game from the start?
At the moment I'd say it's not a live service game at all. Sony and Polyphony can call it whatever they like, but that doesn't change what it is. It's a game with very restrictive always online DRM that has had some post-launch bug fixes and one very minor content drop in two months.
