IMO GTSport is basically the prologue of GT7. I think it'll be a smaller, tighter version of the larger game and a way for them to test the physics, multiplayer etc., on the PS4.

Prologues have generally been playable technical previews of upcoming technology - as cool and relevant this is for the PS4 era of GT, there's been some serious issues that went on during the PS3 era. There was a lot of cool and exciting new things - damage, the ability to roll over, interiors, larger grids, weather and time cycles, full HD, course creation, the list goes on - but the games were plagued with bugs and optimization issues, making it seem like PD never quite got their games fully out of a showcase/experimental/testing/etc. stage. There was a lot of new tech, but it never seemed like there was enough content to utilize all of it (under or un-used cars and tracks, short careers, lack of customizability in arcade/quick race modes, one-time/infrequent use of features and like drifting, endurance, tire/fuel wear, off-road racing, time rally, I can go on and on).
As cool as it would be to get a taste of what PD can do on the new hardware cap, I think it's more important for them to prove that they can still actually make a solid, complete, satisfactory, fully-functional game that's replayable for multiple years, and they really need to skip the prologue phase to do that.

Prologues have generally been stopgaps to shut the fans up because the next full GT is taking too long to come out. That's what GT4P was, and so was GT5P.
I was being slightly facetious above when I said that the beta is the prologue. It depends whether they actually use the beta for stress testing and improving the online experience and other such things. If it's just random early release version, then it's serving the same purpose that previous prologues have, keep the fans fed while they keep working on the "main" game.
Depending on what GTS and GT7 consist of, the same relationship could apply. If GTS ends up being a super stripped down version of GT6.2, then it's arguably a space filler while they continue work on GT7. But since we don't know what the beta, GTS, or GT7 will consist of it's hard to say.

I think GTS is a prologue tbh. Gt7 probably won't come until like 2017.

GTS is GTS. Point
It will probably be different from a classic episode but it's still a real episode.
I just be glad when we get more info on this game. Tired of playing the guessing game. Maybe GTS is a full blown Gt game or maybe its a prologue. I remember jim ryan said that it's more than just a prologue and they didn't want to reveal GT7 right now. So it seem it is a prologue but more added to it. Idk that's just my guess.
