Pretty sure there has been a double maintenance before, we will prob get the update following the second maintenance period. Highly doubt there will be two updates

I hope it releases the hidden contents of 1.10 and why not much more.. PD talked about "big"updates coming, let's see what it holds for..

lol sorry but PD always talks about "big" updates ,tones of DLC and stuff since the begining... I am still waiting the BIG update of January

 

[Aussie_HSV]

I hear of recognition from PD regarding install issues.

So what are the chances of:
Update 1 ... compulsory with all the goodies.
Update 2 ... optional with things like VGT videos.

*Edit*
Just read that link.
Not exactly news as a 'fix'.
And no mention of splitting downloads.
Looks like my idea's been shot down pretty fast.

19.08 - nothing, just maintenance
20.08 - update

 

[fortbo]

So update confirmed?

 

[SSQES]

So update confirmed?

Pretty much yes

 

[Pophead]

Double maintenance.

Let's hope for double updates.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'm not expecting much from the maintenance periods, if anything at all.

 

[fortbo]

Zahara most likely? If it is it will make my month!

Going into anything Gran Turismo like this is the best way to be surprised by the things which eventually rear their heads.

 

[Pophead]

Zahara most likely? If it is it will make my month!

If it ends up being Zahara, they will probably release it on the 20th, not Tuesday.

PD logic cannot be fathomed

I'm not expecting much from the maintenance periods, if anything at all.

Well every time there's been an announced maintenance, we've gotten an update but it seems strange that there is 2 maintenance periods instead of the usual one. Maybe the first will be for some 'prepping' then the second will bring the content or the first maintenance period brings content then the second fixes any problems. Just a thought.

 

[fortbo]

Possible double update?

 

[AleksandarSRB]

Ah if Zahara is there I can wait to back home!!!

 

[Dionisiy]

First maintenance - New Update (Tuesday).
Second maintenance - unlock DLC in PS Store (Wednesday).
(PS Store updated every Wednesday).

Speculation?

 

[sosa]

First maintenance - Zahara and Course maker
Second maintenance - B-Spec and Endurance races

Sorry I just had a wet dream.

A surprise car perhaps? Quoted from the Pebble Beach thing, "Kazunori Yamauchi selects a car to be awarded the “Gran Turismo Trophy”, after which it will be digitized and immortalized in the Gran Turismo series.". The Maserati A6GCS won it this year so I suppose it's possible? To go along with the Abarth Bertone B.A.T, Plymouth XNR, Lamborghini Miura and Alfa Romeo TZ2 Zagato that also won it at different points?

It'd be a cool car to have and would make a nice addition to the almost empty Maserati dealer... I doubt it though as we're still waiting for the other Gran Turismo Award cars from Pebble Beach such as the Aston Martin DB3S and Ferrari 500...

 

[Nico_Ble99]

I don't think so. Because they can't modelize a whole car in just one single day. That's almost impossible (if not completely impossible).

If they had already planned that this would win then they could have had months at it? I dunno, was just a thought. It could even come in 1.13 or something. I'm guessing just as much as everyone else is.

First maintenance - New Update (Tuesday).
Second maintenance - unlock DLC in PS Store (Wednesday).
(PS Store updated every Wednesday).

That would be awesome, but I don't really expect any DLC coming before the Spec 2.0 is released, as they did with GT5.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Well it kind of makes sense for the Alfa or Subaru VGT to be unlocked in the update, and Zahara wouldn't be too much of a stretch either - given that elements of all three things exist in the game already.

I'm not holding out much hope for Course Maker or anything that big though.

 

[LightningLord]

I wonder what the update will have. I'm all for a new track and VGT cars but hope we get more. I'd like the community page and the ability to trade items to come back. I don't know. I'll just wait and see.

1 million thanks to @Whistle Snap. Fantastic guy...

 

[Stylel_Code]

What I call big update: All the missing features (bspec ,community and quick match, course creator...) and Zahara.

 

[AleksandarSRB]

I'll just put this here, from NeoGaf from our friend @Whistle Snap :

Now I'm hyped

 

[Nico_Ble99]

If this update really includes all the things @Stylel_Code metioned... then...


EDIT: I think happy dancing isn't fitting enough. I might do this instead of happy dancing:

Pretty sure the "amazing August" part is a slight dig at amar who said July would be amazing.
