3 hours of planned maintenance instead of the usual 2. Could that suggest a bigger or at least more complex update? Come on community features. NOW is your time.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. The Senna content isn't exactly small, what with the track remodels, cars, a new sub-menu and a mini-movie.

Is this update happening at 12 midnight tonight? Or doing the day tomorrrow?

Midnight tonight till 3am tomorrow in the US.

Could be possible with the closure of GT5's servers - I expect as many server resources as possible will be converted for use in GT6, and that might just be the boost needed to support additional online functions. All speculation, of course, but logical speculation nonetheless...

I do expect generally more support for GT6 and its updates now that GT5 is done and dusted.

They're not adding entirely new tracks though.

They can use most of the assets already in place for those tracks and just alter them to make a 80's version of each. The update shouldn't be more than 300mb. I'd say less than 200 assuming they're not adding any cutscenes or movies with the content.

They're adding a Seanna-related mini movie for after you've completed the time trials I believe. Not sure how long it is, but I think someone mentioned it being fifteen minutes previously.

Oh ok. It could be a pretty big update then because even the Spec 2 intro movie in GT5 I remember was at least 1 GB.

PD uses really good quality video formats so even short videos can take a ton of space. I'm glad though because I've seen some games where the gameplay looks better than the cutscenes because the developers used crappy compressed video formats for their cutscenes. Probably to avoid having multiple discs on Xbox 360 but I still don't know why anyone would want to use such garbage video formats for their cutscenes.

I saw that when I played Borderlands 2 on PC maxed out. I got to a cut scene and thought "What is this crap?!"
