I think they will release it when they need the money and i hope it is 2015. That is why i hope GT6 really stops sellingTalking about GT7 really gets me, mainly because of "maybe 2015" and "standards are here to stay" from Kaz's mouth.
IT'S NOT COMING in 2015. No. Freaking. Way. GT3 was delayed how long? GT4 was delayed how long?? GT5 was delayed how long???? Even if GT7 is hi-res GT6 on a new console, I still think realistically holiday 2016 is when the game could feasibly launch. If I'm wrong, then yeah, that's actually awesome, but PDI's paymaster Sony would want to push DriveClub as hard as they can in 2015 with dlcs and what nots and me thinks having to plug GT7 at a similar time period would detract unfairly from Evolution Studio's game.
After a lot of flak from fans and gaming press for lackluster GT5's and GT6's overall quality it saddens me to see PDI sort of backed up against the wall. PDI won't have time, personnel, or budget to convert every PS2-era models to semi-Premium. Even Turn 10, with a workforce nearly three times that of PDI, needs to outsource a few of car modelling...and they still have to bring back many cars from FM4.
Standard cars are coming simply because PDI don't have much of a choice....having "1000+ cars!" and "1200+ cars!!" as their main marketing campaign push, now they can't go back to more modest numbers without getting bad perception from general, casual gaming public, and Sony brass.
I can already imagine trolls from both side of "console war" going ape**** on comment sections on various gaming/tech websites...at least that would be hilarious to watch from sidelines..
