Aside from the 'update' about sound employees, the last reply to a question asked here was on July 23rd. Sound was also the only issue they mentioned on the blog. This blog is a remarkable fail.

Tch, you guys are so impatient and full of self-entitlement. Always complaining no matter what, they said that replies would be coming in the next few weeks and they've already given you several answers in the reddit AMA! :mad:

Absoltuely no excuses to get your pitchforks out unless questions haven't been answered until around April 2016 when it has been over 100 weeks, only then do you have a right to complain!

They didn't answer us, they answered a selected few reposts of the same obvious questions. It was coincidence that similar questions were raised (or was it...) and it was also coincidence that members of GTP like @gtuned were replied to. There was also no mention of the reddit AMA on the blog as a source for more answers.

There you go, your questions were answered, what more do you guys want? The blog wasn't even made to answer your questions anyway.

You're actually serious ? PD/Kaz told Jordan to create Kaz section because they will answer fan's questions.

Everyone and their mother went there to vote and discuss only to be left in the pooper.

How is that a good behavior for PD ? They clearly don't give a 🤬. It's suprising they don't told whole GTP to go and 🤬 themselves.

Like the game. don't like the game - certain actions are so clearly innapriopriate and unprofessional I don't know how can people be so blind to defend it.

They 🤬 up royally on this.
 
I guess you guys don't know that "/s" is short for "/sarcasm", it's used very commonly across forums. I even bolded it in both my posts so people wouldn't miss them and mistake my posts as real. :(

Only poking a little harmless fun at previous comments about how we are terribly impatient, demanding and should leave PD alone. Personally I think that PD's behaviour towards it's userbase over the last gen console, particularly at the end anyway, has been disgraceful and lackluster. With all their failings with GT6 alone, it will take a miracle for me to become a returning customer for future GT games.

If they have not released the rest of the features that we were told would be included by GT6's one year anniversary, I will look into demanding a refund for false advertising. If I knew this was how the game was going to turn out (actually containing fewer features than GT5), than I would never have purchased it.

"North Americans" just don't seem to get Sarcasm to well....

"Later in the next update!"
 
I keep forgetting about the Q&A and the blog. Can someone with a straight face honestly say that it's still ''on'' after nearly five months? I'm beginning to think otherwise.

Half of GTP has been telling Kaz to 🤬 himself for a long time. Your post is not an example of being appropriate and professional either.

Don't try and take the higher ground here when your behaviour is a lot worse than Kaz/PD.

Ahhh the strawman approach. Little did we realize that it was a contest to see who was on their best behaviour, a few disgruntled members of an internet forum or a world famous game developer and Sony VP and board member. If we all smile and play nice with our toys maybe Kaz will answer all our questions.

Pointing out the hypocritical conduct of certain members is not a strawman approach.

Calling every post you dont agree with a strawman is more of a strawman approach than that is.

True, pointing out hypocritical behaviour isn't strawmanning. Unfortunately measuring it against Kazunori Yamauchi's behaviour as if that bears any relevance to the conversation, is.
 
Gran Turismo 7 has not been announced.

It's therefore appropriate that PoDi don't want to mention it.

PoDi has always been ambitious, it's nice to know what they want to achieve but I prefer they talk about more concrete things so we'll see when the time comes. Ask to Rockstar Games for GTA 6.... Pretty sure you'll have no answers until the announcement. Uncharted 4 was released for several months and yet we don't know.

For me, this Q&A is primarily used to know the expectations of the players/fans.

About GT6.

It's clear that today they don't want to announce a date in advance. As soon as it's ready, we will have the information on the official site.

We saw what happened with Zahara. Finally, there it is. Same for quick match.

Moreover, many players claim holdup in GTA V. Rockstar Games give no answer ....

There are plenty of example.

There is still some improvement for PoDi in communication but for me, they are very very far from being the worst.
 
I just wish - in terms of content - that we had the old Course Maker to use and consistency throughout the game really. The Quick Match events are cool, but it's kind of gut-wrenching (?) that it's very limited and directed to the casual gamer (not racer).

My thinking is with Driveclub coming out, I remembered what games attracted me to the racing and car world; it was those damn (in a good way) NFS and Midnight Club games from the late '90s to early '00s; haha even Spyhunter.

This is PD still catering to the greater consumer base. If none of the "real" simulation AND online features come with the next game, then it will be safe to say that PD aren't ever heading into the hardcore direction (what the hell happened with the different types of tires TYPES Of Tyres that the GT5 hacking unveiled?)

I only wanted to shortly state these little things seeing as how people on here are becoming more frantic than usual, appearingly. A crapload more frantic actually. It came out of nowhere.


Polyphony do what they want and we know that. Really a wonder why people argue over it anyways.

👍 This, basically. Sad, but true but not to everybody.
 
uhm something like different manufactures?

No, there were different C and V variants for each type of tyre (like how we have Soft/Medium/Hard tyres, but these were another variant of them). So, you had things like Racing: Soft (V) and Sports: Hard (C).

Don't forget the Super-Soft tyres...

Racing: Super-Soft
Racing: Intermediate (rain)
Racing: Wet (heavy rain)
Dirt
Snow
Comfort: Hard
Comfort: Medium
Comfort: Soft
Sports: Hard
Sports: Medium
Sports: Soft
Sports: Super-Soft
Racing: Hard
Racing: Medium
Racing: Soft
Comfort: Medium (C)
Comfort: Soft (C)
Sports: Hard (C)
Racing Super-Soft (C)
Comfort: Soft (V)
Racing: Super-Soft (V)
Comfort: Hard
 
GT5 had special hidden versions of tyres in the game code. These "V" and "C" tyres improved horizontal grip and lateral grip respectively. As far as I know there where V and C variants for each grade of tyre.

what? :?

Longitudinal and lateral grip.

Horizontal is arbitrary here and, if anything, at least relative to vertical, horizontal is more analogous to lateral when using normal standards for orientation terms, which is always in relation to the subject itself - i.e., the car - in this instance, viewed from above, the only applicable plane that would clearly present both axes being discussed. Sorry for being ahnal.
