My considerations.
I loved the new track. Loved it! A circuit with personality and own curves. I remember Magny-cours and a few curves in Istanbul. I loved the new Supra Gr.3.
I will think like a capitalist:
I am skeptical about the future of GTS. Earlier, when I said that GTS would be finalized, it was in the sense of the basic structure of the game is concluded.
I believe the updates will continue. But as the latter was, I believe it will be like this: one or two cars, one circuit per month.
Why?
Because Kaz repeated for the second time this year that he is already working on the new GT. He also said it is not GTS 2. By a market view, these statements are not positive for GTS.
This reminds me of the aperitive versions: HD, Concept, Prologue. Sport too?
Speculation: I believe that PD will continue with the events of the FIA GT (e-Sport), until the end of this year. However, I think the main team will be focused on the production of GT7, which would be released in the last years of PS4.
Well, GTS did not sell well. Had bad reviews! These reviews certainly hurt the sales. So I ask: What is the point of PD continuing to invest in a "stillborn" game?
GTS turned niche game. Only 14% of the player base is still active (kudosprime.com).
In a market view, it would be better to launch GT7 in mid-2019, with all that has GTS, plus the addition of new tracks and new cars.
After all, people who were disappointed with GTS would give the franchise another chance, and the current GTS fans would buy the game again.
It is very strange the way of managing PD.
If she declared that each month would launch a package, and every six would launch a paid DLC, perhaps it would improve the reliability of the player base. I think Polyphony does not even trust its own work pace.
Kaz said he would add 500 cars. I see no sense in spending resources on so many cars for a small player base, and that every day decreases. It's better to produce content for a new game in 2019.
I did not want this. But I'm thinking not as a player but as an businessman.
I do not want to live in a state of denial. But I have a bad feeling.
