Just comeback reading this form. people still hold a grudge on april update. They expect thing in April that PD never promise or announced.
What May update?
I genuinely don't understand the expectation here.
GT Sport launched in October 2017. Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything about DLC apart from that it was coming, and you wouldn't have to wait a year for it. There was no content update in October.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything about DLC until the end of November. In November, Sony published a road map for DLC up to March 2018. In it, Yamauchi (and various regional brand managers) said that "approximately 50 cars" would come, along with unspecified new tracks, with no set schedule except "from now to March 2018" - contrary to popular belief, the word "monthly" was not in this article. The first update, it said, would come at the end of November, with three cars. In November there was a content update with three cars. It added that 12 more cars - which it named - would come in December.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything further about DLC in December. Then a maintenance period, with update, was announced in-game on December 21st. The update, containing the 12 specified cars, arrived on December 22.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything further about DLC in January. Then Kazunori Yamauchi made a Tweet on January 20 about an update arriving the next week. His Tweet had silhouettes - like the blog post - of 10 cars. The update arrived within the week, containing 10 cars. Oh, and a track no-one had said anything about.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything further about DLC in February. Then Kazunori Yamauchi made a Tweet on February 24 about an update arriving the next week. His Tweet had silhouettes - like the blog post - of 12 cars. The update arrived within the week, containing 12 cars. Oh, and a track no-one had said anything about.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything further about DLC in March. Then Kazunori Yamauchi made a Tweet on March 23 about an update arriving the next week. His Tweet had silhouettes - like the blog post - of 13 cars. The update arrived within the week, containing 13 cars. Oh, and a track no-one had said anything about.
This marked the delivery of all 50 cars, and the end of the road map published in November.
Ahead of April, the official GT Twitter account, along with both manufacturers, mentioned the GR Supra Concept and Audi Vision GT arriving in April updates. No other content was mentioned or teased in any way. The Audi arrived on April 9, the Supra on April 27. Oh, along with a track no-one had said anything about.
Neither Sony nor Polyphony said anything further about DLC in April. Or beyond April.
No announcements have been made for any other DLC in April, but for some reason people believe there should have been a 10+-car pack that was never mentioned. No announcements have been made for any DLC in May or any other month, but for some reason people believe there will be a "May update" with further DLC.
The 50 car DLC promise was announced and delivered on time. The Audi Vision GT was announced and delivered on time. The Supra was announced and delivered on time.
There's no reason to expect anything that hasn't been announced.
What about them? 400-500 cars in the game's life is some considerable distance from specifically laying out 50 cars in four months - and neither is a reasonable basis to suppose a 10+-car pack arriving unannounced a month after the specific road map expired.What about the 500 cars Kaz talked about
Exactly, until Kazunori says something on twitter don't expect anything else until he does.What about them? 400-500 cars in the game's life is some considerable distance from specifically laying out 50 cars in four months - and neither is a reasonable basis to suppose a 10+-car pack arriving unannounced a month after the specific road map expired.
Not sure if anyone has replied to this but I’m pretty sure it’s the helicopter. It’s infuriating though.What’s that tribal drumming sound on DT gardens??
I stopped to hear more carefully & in a specific place you can hear clearly something like a club playing techno music!Not sure if anyone has replied to this but I’m pretty sure it’s the helicopter. It’s infuriating though.
Ha. Surely not. I always notice it when the chopper makes an appearance. I might do a cruise to see if I can find the club though. It’s in Croatia right? Will be full of stag parties.I stopped to hear more carefully & in a specific place you can hear clearly something like a club playing techno music!
I think it's maybe from a Beach Party. They are pretty popular in CroatiaI stopped to hear more carefully & in a specific place you can hear clearly something like a club playing techno music!
I think you might be taking this a little too far...We have been played. We have been taken for suckers. A lot of us won't be buying the next game unless there is a paradigm shift in PD's production. Not now there are far better alternatives. PD need to realize they don't exist in a vacuum any more, they don't have the entire PS player base to themselves. So far, it doesn't appear as if they have...
To have gone from 1200+ cars and dozens and dozens of real life tracks to this crippled game with the worst track selection out there and close to the worse car selection won't burn the base now.
I wonder how many GT6 players would have wasted money on this game if they had been told up front how few cars were likely to be added and how even fewer tracks would appear in the first 6 months post release?

It isn't GTS's sales numbers that are going to be significant. It is going to be the NEXT game that makes or breaks the franchise. To have gone from 1200+ cars and dozens and dozens of real life tracks to this crippled game with the worst track selection out there and close to the worse car selection won't burn the base now. But the next one will.
Hence the importance of prompt DLC and tons of it. Especially tracks. And yes, it had better be free! I wonder how many GT6 players would have wasted money on this game if they had been told up front how few cars were likely to be added and how even fewer tracks would appear in the first 6 months post release? And, I'm sorry, but additional layouts of already existing fictitious tracks (and, IMO far inferior to GT6's fictitious tracks) and only two real tracks added in 6 months makes PD look like incompetents. Other games with a fraction of the resources manage an order of magnitude better.

Umm, OK... Saying that GT Sport has the most atrocious community management is ignoring the fact that EA Games demands players to spend huge amounts of money on microtransactions. Take Star Wars Battlefront 2. That game has been ruined by loot crates, which you kinda need to get in order to gain an advantage online. Those with smaller amounts of money will not do as well. That's what I call atrocious community management. The consumer is milked dry and the game loses it's overall polish. Yes, Kaz has broken promises but he has not ruined the franchise through dumb business decisions. The fact we are living in a time where GT has an active Instagram, Twitter and Facebook account suggests that they have learnt from their mistakes to help a deliver a better gaming experience. Clearly, the worst community management in the industry.GT Sport is a games as a service with the most atrocious community management in the industry.
The Free DLC we have received is brilliant, because to obtain the cars you only need to waste time, not money. Forza has come under fire for re-releasing content that appeared in previous games as DLC, not including the cars people want and charging too much money for lacklustre additions. And we haven't even got round to the loot boxes... Clearly, the GT strategy has been the best for all. You simply cannot complain about freebies.I can’t believe we really went from “why do standard cars exist” to why doesn’t GTS have 1200 cars like the last game.
Also, pretty unsure why so many people are angry with the amount of cars we’ve got since launch? We started with around 160, and we have in excess of 210 now, none of which we had to pay for. To put that in perspective, FM7 has added less cars in the same timeframe, and you’d need to buy them with actual money before you can use them ingame.
Try to stop in the middle of the technical section with the repeated right turns & you'll see! It's not the chopper! Also change to the exterior view!Ha. Surely not. I always notice it when the chopper makes an appearance. I might do a cruise to see if I can find the club though. It’s in Croatia right? Will be full of stag parties.

Bit salty in here....
Personally I'm ok with fewer cars, I can't drive 1200 at the same time and half of those would be Skylines with different trim.
New tracks are where it's at but the current selection is agreeable if not amazing
However, I paid £50 for this game and I've only had 350 hours out of it so gimme my money back PD
I didn’t hear any jungle drums during today’s daily race. Obviously gone back to work as it’s Monday.Try to stop in the middle of the technical section with the repeated right turns & you'll see! It's not the chopper! Also change to the exterior view!
That seems pretty appropriate. I hope they do not put them together though. Two two tracks are so very different.
Hated the combo of kyoto
It is Red Bull Ring, and it's one of the promotional images from the addition of the track to GT6:I saw this image on the Polyphony website under the Jobs section. Looks like the Red Bull Ring. Could it be in development for GT Sport?

We all knew GT sport will be a totally different game way before the game was released. This not GT6 or GT7 this is Gt sport like Kaz said something completely different from previous PD GamesIt isn't GTS's sales numbers that are going to be significant. It is going to be the NEXT game that makes or breaks the franchise. To have gone from 1200+ cars and dozens and dozens of real life tracks to this crippled game with the worst track selection out there and close to the worse car selection won't burn the base now.
