Imola could be implemented but not at the same time as the senna content , I can see all the videos on you tube now trying to recreate the crash.. Adding imola and the Williams with the senna content is in bad taste. If it was imola alone in the future why not
 
Is this really difficult to understand? Look, Imola cannot be added because the DLC is supposed to celebrate his life and achievements, and giving us the car in which he was killed and the track he was killed at surely is not a celebration of his life. It is in bad taste and rather trivialises the gravity and seriousness of the incident. I'm not against the addition of Imola, but the obvious links between Senna and Imola cannot be escaped. It should be added in a separate context, away from this.
This. I can't think of a clearer way of putting it. Well said.
 
I intententionally avoid threads like this in order to ignore the hype (both good and bad) but this one got me today.
 
Good thing PD is cheap, cause there's virtually no chance for Imola to appear, mostly because of PD never adding free tracks. Also because of the accident thing. But that also means no Interlagos either because PD.
 
So much negativity... You really can't say PD care only for money, remember every DLC is free since the launch. We will also have 3 free tracks layouts.
Agreed. From all reports 100% of the Senna content will be free. They could charge $10 for it all and it would do quite well.

If all of this reported Senna content (cars, tracks, time trials, videos, etc) come to fruition, then it would be a massive project to complete. For example, just think of all of the testing and perfecting of the 1980's Brands Hatch and '85 Lotus just to match up with Senna's pole time. That along with the major project of the GT Academy, I can fully understand why GT6 would appear to be widely "unsupported" to this point. If all of this happens and GT6 starts getting updates on the regular, all of my disappointment with GT6 will be forgiven. For the first time in a while I'm excited about Gran Turismo again.

If you take a gander at the PCars track list and what they've done with a much smaller team in just 2 years, with less than 1/10th the reported budget of GT5, creating 2 tracks that are very close to two tracks already modeled in the game is nowhere near what I'd call a massive undertaking.
 
To the argument that people would recreate the crash that took his life, what's stopping people from doing that when Imola could be released down the road, hmm?

I understand it's bad taste, but the argument that people will recreate the crash because of the timing of the track is silly. As for the other ones, I agree with them.

Why is the "bad taste" argument silly?

As Johnny already mentioned modifying two existing tracks wouldn't take that long. As for GT Academy, how exactly is that a major project? They set up a new screen and four time trials. Everything they need to do those, code wise, is already in the game as are three (essentially four) of the cars used. If that took more than a few hours one day to set up I'd be amazed.
 
Strange choices of 1980s tracks to include. I would have picked Spa '85 and Osterreichring '85 personally, now those are bad-ass 1980s tracks.
yes.gif
Fuji 1980s needs a return too, although the '85 Lotus didn't race there, but who cares? :lol:
 
To me this just confirms the majority of PD is probably working on something else. Wether that's more GT6 content, GT7P, or both remains to be seen.
 
Chosen because they were the least amount of work to chance, I'd imagine.
Cote D'Azur must be forgotten about then.... that would have taken even less work than Monza and Brands Hatch to get into it's 1985 configuration.

True, but it's an old 'standard' track. Perhaps they only wanted to use the better looking tracks, and updating CD to better levels in general would take longer.
