Senna content coming soon?

[Pophead]

It looks like tomorrow or Saturday we will be getting the Senna content.

I'll edit this post if something happens within the next 1/2 hour happens.

Edit: It definitely looks like Friday, hence "by the end of the week" usually references Friday.
Don't take my word on it.

I'm glad we're getting the content, regardless of what it is. If there are more cars that haven't been announced, then that's awesome. If not, then we still have three awesome vehicles to throw around the track!

Have they ever put content out on the weekend before? If it doesn't come by Friday it'll surely be next week.

And 2 retro remakes of some decent tracks - Brands Hatch and Monza

I'm hedging bets on tomorrow.

They are releasing the 2.16 patch for GT5 on the 31st, which is a Saturday.

is a website which if a 1.08 patch gets released, it should add a 1.08 subsection in the version list = new patch

There's no way PD are pulling 20 hour shifts just to get a car or three modeled. In fact, it's clear the content is already made, because it's been demo'd to the Brazilian press.

I wouldn't think to put big feature updates with the Senna Tribute update, so maybe they're working up to a bigger update in the near future (once the Senna content has been digested).

Still, it'd be amazing to celebrate Senna's legacy and amend GT's recent legacy in one fell swoop. However partial.

20h shifts for 3 weeks. Lol. Not even the Chinese sweat shops work that long.

I have read somewhere that the Senna Tribute update is a 4 part update whatever that means

This content update to the game is the fourth part of the tribute. The first part was a video, and the second and third parts were a pair of slideshows.

There are four "events" covering four time periods, but it should all be included in the one update. There are pictures of the game screen from the Brazilian press in the other thread, here.

So today is 29 and we are still waiting for a content promised for 27....

Keep up. It's been delayed until the 30th because of licensing issues.

 

[gambleboyen]

We should all remember that PD does not make promises, they just say things and you have to expect something else.

Licensing issues got in the way of that.

Now, this might be completely off-topic and possibly this is maybe well known, but I have been hunting for some "working hours". It seems that if you work in the website maintenance area, you finish work at 7:15 PM Japanese time. If you are a assistant to the Graphics Designer, you work Monday to Friday, 5 hours a day. Found this rather interesting and if they have been pulling 20 hour shifts, they must have some dedicated employees (higher pay as a incentive perhaps?)

i've seen nothing saying the 30th all i've seen is "This Week"

 

[Rafael F]

Is it confirmed as an update 1.08? or just a ninja update will unlock all the stuff?

Since there are no models of the cars or tracks in the game, I'm pretty sure that a hotfix won't do it. It's most likely 1.08. Though it shouldn't even matter because either way, you're going to be waiting as long as your Internet connection takes.

 

[super_gt]

I expect Senna content next week.

 

[NOSWaster]

I expect Senna content next week.

I think they'll release it in all the countries they can before next week if they still have licensing issues. There will be an outrage if nobody has it in May.

wtf... seriously? 1.07 was almost 1 GB and still didnt have any senna content? We have to expect another massive size update coming then?

My PS3 is only 40GB, i'm almost out of space

 

[Ninners]

It had hidden cars in it.

Oh, got it. So, should we expect for a server maintenance notice?

 

[Devil240Z]

there is also a possibility that this licensing issue could kill the whole senna update.

The media have reported dates between the 27th and 30th. "This week" more or less ends on the 30th, although a weekend update isn't out of the question. I said the 30th for simplicity's sake, but obviously there's the chance it could slip to next week or be staggered across regions.

At this point, I don't even know. I have a feeling that we won't be getting it this month and it might be delayed until next Monday or Tuesday.
PD could prove me wrong however as I am literally guessing.
I would be thinking that they would post a maintenance notice, unless the 1.07 patch modified the servers to adapt to the Senna content. We should be getting it soon, but I have that feeling that it will be delayed longer or at its worst, not have it at all.

I would rather it be staggered across regions than completely delayed until June.

Curiously the f3 isn't mentioned by the PS rep, but the new suits are. He also mentioned that the DLC will go online between the 27th and 30th May.

True, I'm starting to get worried about it.

Y'all need to stop making assumptions.
