For what exactly?
He didn't clear anything up from where I'm sat
As for our new poster I have no reason to doubt him, but then I would like some proof. Amar has a reputation for giving us solid information in advance. Anyone else would need to give us proof to back up their claims before they get cut the same slack Amar has
At the end of the day we all just want new info on GT5.

Get of it guys, Amar just wants to indicate that blissful times are awaiting us. Nothing more. And Feast of the Gods happens to be a famous painting by Giovanni Bellini. Which looks like a rather boring picknick I might add.
Ah, the clue lies in the painting. GT5 will have an Italian Renaissance style community forum!

Notice the Silenus who hugs the donkey. There's the proper action just waiting to be unleashed 
Also, my thanks to Denur who linked this Renesance masterpiece. I was going to do it when I strated the thread but I found it could be misleading from the points. However, it's the picture I referred to when I was thinking about the last paragraph.
Thanks for it 👍

Jeez, Amar has hints within hints. I think we all did a good job guessing, and only time will tell if anything is correct, but then he comes back and plays with us some more....ugh if only I knew what he knew right now....

...in the meantime, we could investigate the painting and try to conclude parallels?

Ok, so after reading that, we know that the painting has something to do with this. Time to put what I learnt in English to the test then!
From Wikipedia:
The Feast of the Gods is an oil painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, with substantial additions by Titian, who added all the landscape to the left and centre. It is one of a cycle of paintings on mythological subjects produced for Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, for his camerino d'alabastro ('chamber of alabaster') in the Castello Estense, Ferrara. It is one of the few mythological pictures of the Venetian artist, who completed it in 1514. After his death soon afterwards (1516), Titian probably modified the landscape on the left to match it to his Bacchanalia (15181523), also in Alfonso's camerino. A more thorough reworking in about 1529 added more landscape, adding the mountain behind the figures.[1] It is now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
The scene depicted conflates two episodes in Ovid's Fasti. Priapus, on the left, is attempting to seduce the sleeping nymph Lotis, but is prevented from success by the bray of Silenus' donkey. Around are the drunken Gods: Jupiter has an eagle next to him, Poseidon is caressing Cybele and Ceres, while Hermes is languidly lying on a barrel. The boy with vine-leaves on his head is an unusually young depiction of Bacchus. It is thought that Bellini initially painted the figures as mortals, following a misleading translation of Ovid (the so-called Ovidio volgarizzato), and had to re-paint them with the attributes of the Olympian gods.[2]
The painting was bought from the Duke of Northumberland by the American magnate Peter A. B. Widener in 1925, and later entered the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. with the rest of his collection.[3]
OK, now to expand on the bolded parts.
Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini - reference to PD?
additions by Titian, who added all the landscape to the left and centre - maybe another developer is working with PD and helping them add to GT?
one of a cycle of paintings - maybe PD has something other than GT5 cooking for us?
attempting to seduce the sleeping nymph Lotis, but is prevented from success by the bray of Silenus' donkey - PD is trying to get a particular feature into the game, and is being prevented from doing so by someone (car manufacturer? costs?)
Just my guess...
