The February update discussion

[GTFraker]

A couple of new cars for both Gr.4 and Gr.3 and a new track would be fine by me.

 

[bmxmitch]

PD had the right focus with Group 4 and Group 3. They've gone off the rails with the new cars, they don't fit into any category.

Thats because they got rid of the N+++ races completely!
The stupid one-make races are a total waste IMO

But yes, the two 20Mio cars have no real place in this game...
Hope they add some more, like the C9 and make actual races for them.

 

[Gejabo]

Its also getting late in Japan therefore there might not be a February update

Is February over already?

Have I been asleep for a week again?

 

[PSN:And-War]

Because of this:

Still think GT0/3000GT is ugly, just my view mind you.

 

[GTP_MikkelDK]

Lets hope we get a teaser Today. I Cross fingers .!:-)

 

[Volksauto]

I predict we are going to see another jdm car return like the NSX and maybe a Group C car like the 787b. I also think we are going to get another corky icon like the Volkswagen 1200 or Fiat 500 to fit in with the sambabus.

 

[marcvic]

I think they've done a fine job of adding cars since launch (wouldn't complain about more), but I'm ready for more tracks - real world tracks.

My top 3 wants:

1. Fuji
2. Spa
3. Laguna Seca

 

[JacksHerer]

Yeh I think someone counted we still have 25 cars to come between now and end of March, hopefully there will be a Feb update and not have to wait for a huge March update.

Is March the last DLC or the last update we will get? I keep seeing the month of March all over the place.

It's the only timescale reference we've had so far, so that's probably why you keep seeing it mentioned. There's not been anything else to go on.

 

[RaY29rus]

PD worked surprisingly productive last few months making all these updates (especially considering we're talking about PD) and I wouldn't be surprised at all if there'll be no update this month and less than 50 cars until April.

 

[ExoticMachines]

Last month it was mentioned the Friday before wasn't it?

Announced 20th Jan, released 26th Jan..

Yamauchi’s Tweet reveals that there’s ten more cars on the way, and they’re coming next week:
Update is coming next week. 来週、アップデートが来ます。#GTSport #GTSports pic.twitter.com/yECPLYNp3m

I guess we are not getting anything from Yamauchi today.

 

[Daniel55]

The thing is that we always got the update on a Friday. And this (23rd) is the last Friday of this month. We might get a teaser or notification in game Thursday, as it happened previously. If not, I don't know...

 

[GhostChild]

Still think GT0/3000GT is ugly, just my view mind you.

I was just trying to answer to your question on why the 3000 gt belongs to that japanese group of cars.

I like the design of the pop up headlights 1992 GTO the most, even if it was planned to appeal to the american market more. I've seen some in the street and they're sexy to me. If you don't like it is fair enough it's a matter of taste.

 

[Volksauto]

I thought PD said there would be more updates afterwards. Plus there was that rumor of 500 cars eventually being featured in GT Sport

 

[RACECAR]

Some GT1 cars would be lovely. Especially the Ford GT40 LM, Castrol Toyota Supra LM, Toyota TS020 GT1, Nissan R390 GT1, Mercedes CLK GTR GT1, Porsche 911 GT1, Lotus Elise GT1, McClaren F1 GTR GT1 (longnose)., Bentley Speed 8 GT1. Toyota Minolta 88C-V GT1, Nissan R92CP, Nissan R89C GT1, NSX GT1, Jaguar XJR-9, Mercedes Sauber C9. Viper LM GT1, Nismo GT1, Most of these GT1 or Le Mans cars were in previous games except for the Elise GT1 and the Porsche GT1 or the F40 LM as those cars were not in GT5 nor GT6.

Those bolded are actually not GT1 cars. The Bentley came well after the Fall of the GT1 category while both the Nissans, Toyota, Jaguar and Sauber Mercedes are Group C cars. Viper "LM" (which I assume is the GTS-R you're reffering to) is a GT2 class car.

There will be more content added after march. Kaz has said there is going to be hundreds (can't remember find the article) of cars and tracks added over the lifetime of GT Sport. All we were told was 50 cars by March. I suspect that after the March update they will start to come a lot slower, every 2 or 3 months minimum or only 1 or 2 cars a month max with the odd track thrown in now and again. It may even be the start of paid DLC after the March update!

 

[Coiler]

Well end of the month coming with big steps and we didn't get anything other than pix on twitter(of the stuff we have already).

 

[AdamA998]

We will get the update by end of month, it will be previous premium cars from previous GT Titles, unless they surprise us with new cars. Forza got the Kia Stinger recently, that would be cool if could get a Stinger Gr.4 and maybe even Gr.3.

My favorite GT1 car is the corvette C5.R

 

[Castrol96]

I hope for that one car from the suggestions list makes it into the update, just like the Supra did.

 

[BrunusCL82]

Where is it?

 

[sirjim73]

Blue are brand new cars. Green are returning cars from Gran Turismo 6 and Brown/Maroon are cars that used to be standard but became Premium in GT Sport.
So i'm thinking that most of the new cars in the following update would be simply GT6 cars returning and maybe one or two new cars for the series.

I would assume something like this for example:

- Acura NSX '91
- Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta passo corto CN.2521 '61
- Ford Mark IV Race Car '67
- Lamborghini Reventon '08
- Lotus Elise '11
- Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (19 inch Wheel Option) '09
- Mclaren P1 '15
- Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TwinTurbo 2seater (Z32) '89
- Pagani Huayra '13
- Plymouth AAR Cuda 340 Six Barrel '70
- Toyota GT-ONE Road Car (TS020) '98
- Volkswagen Beetle 1200 '66

I think the Lotus is unlikely since they dropped the other Lotus cars which were in the beta and which I got to drive at Copper Box (my guess would be a license issue as I think Lotus changed ownership?)

I predict we are going to see another jdm car return like the NSX and maybe a Group C car like the 787b. I also think we are going to get another corky icon like the Volkswagen 1200 or Fiat 500 to fit in with the sambabus.

Can I make a wild guess which of those 2 cars you would prefer...?


And finally ... There has NEVER EVER EVER been an official comment regarding ANY update in February. EVER. All that was said was "around 50 cars up to the end of March". We have had 25 to now. Every single other comment is speculation, albeit based on December and January updates. Nothing is late. Nothing is announced except for around 25 cars up to the end of March. That is it.

Sorry if that sounds like a rant, but people are assuming and we know what that makes out of u and me when you assume . Thank you.

I believe they might make a return via a DLC, more so than some other cars i mentioned.

 

[Voodoovaj]

I don't think there's going to be an update. The month ends in a week. There's no announcement of any kind.

Maybe March will bring a larger update than January, but February isn't happening.

 

[AKps3]

I disagree it’s only Feb 20th, still plenty of time to announce an update.

 

[UGA95]

I don't think it's any secret that less and less people are playing GT Sport every day simply because of its redundancy. Let's be honest, offline play sucks, Sport mode is inconsistent in terms of the quality of races given to us, and online lobbies are hit or miss. So without new content (tracks, perhaps the rumored GT500 class, new items in mileage store etc) there's not a whole lot left to keep the casual player coming back. I'm not sure PD can afford to go months at a time without new content (well, I suppose they can, but it wouldn't be in their best interest). I think they probably know this, so I wouldn't write off an update just yet.

Good post . I hope we get some good stuff soon, so I can to keep playing the game more.

So you're saying that PD could slip in one new-to-the-franchise car?
