The Update 1.12 Discussion Thread: Believe the Hype

[Yin Yang]

Okay.

There's gonna be an up-date. Because I know there will be an up-date. Today tomorrow it doesn't really matter, there will be an up-date. Sooooon.

And Kaz is like "And by soon, we mean 'a day before GT7'

 

[sparkytooth]

So um it's like still over an hour before an update can potentially be released over here.

This. So much this that the word this doesn't properly describe the amount of this in this post.

 

[Yin Yang]

Good thing I got the emergency number on speed dial, in case this train crashes too

...what about that?

This and that, what's about that? This is this and this is that.

Well gosh donut now I'm confused.

EDIT: I meant "darn it."

He can be told something and then at the last minute it gets changed therefor leaving him holding the bag. This sort of thing happened before with Jordan I believe where he actually had good information but then it never panned out.

Yes, this is the real issue; pushing out any update for GT6 is a major undertaking, and requires the synchronization and approval of QA testers and SCEI legal teams around the world. Then, if one "i" is not dotted or one "t" is not crossed, or one region finds an obscure bug that only manifests itself with a certain language setting, the whole process has to start over again and it's going to be delayed another week. It's not generally worth it to share this with the public, because most people won't know or understand what is happening when things don't work out, and it just makes the person (or PD/Sony) look bad.

I could, for example, say that 1.12 is scheduled to arrive September 16th at 04:00 GMT/UTC with Circuit de la Sierra, Quick Match online features, the FT-1 Vision GT Concept, and the NISMO GT-R. If it is delayed at the very last minute by some unforeseen circumstances and has to be pushed back another week, though, the average person will think I was being misleading or dishonest. So, 1.12 will just get here when it gets here. I doubt anyone here wants it to be released more than the folks at Polyphony Digital.

Amazing to see some of the skeptics start hanging around this thread as we grow closer to the rumored date...

Not being a skeptic at all, its called being realistic. Nothing officially has been announced so there is no reason to think otherwise. Also, there is no reason for anyone to complain if it doesn't happen for the same reason I stated above.

@Jordan Yes, that is exactly what I mean. That's why I've been saying that its best just to wait for an official word from PD/Sony. Even with an announcement from them, a delay can still happen but at least the announcement had come from a credited source.....the ones that are actually responsible for the update.

 

[Crumpet]

There are many indicators pointing to the fact that it will be released today...
Of course, maybe it won't, but since the possibility is there:

GET HYPED

 

[DSkywalker01]

What is the precedence for updates? Do they just pop up, or is there a notification of maintenance posted first?

A little bit of both, which basically means whenever.

+1 for this.
Besides, usually there is an announcement that there will be a server matinance for 2 hours before an update, and obviously none have happened since August 19-20 (I think). I won't be surprised if 1.12 is NOT released in the next hour or so but I would be nice if it was.
And people please, there are more important things in life than just a game update. We all know it's coming this month with a new track and some exciting cars (can't wait for the Toyota FT1 VGT I'll admit). But complaining and moaning and whining are not going to help. (This does include me as well). Let's just sit down, enjoy a nice drink, and maybe watch some television or play a game while we wait.

So um what if I didn't participate in GTAcademy?

I'm guessing you'll have to cough up some Kazies (credits) and walk up to the dealership yourself.

 

[RACECAR]

You buy it from the dealership, Or win it in the seasonal they'll have up for it possibly. One of the two.

 

[sparkytooth]

It's like they don't bother to mention if it's normally available to the commoners.

OMG! Tomorrow??? I would open a "possible update tomorrow..." thread but I'm too lazy atm

 

[DSkywalker01]

Don't see why it wouldn't be.

September 16th at 04:00 GMT/UTC

Ok but if it's not here at 4:01 we get out the hammer and the nails.(sarcasm)
The only update I am salivating over is the Mini VGT. It's a long way away, and anything else until then is just a bonus.

 

[Johnnypenso]

It will be released when it's released.

I could, for example, say that 1.12 is scheduled to arrive September 16th at 04:00 GMT/UTC with Circuit de la Sierra, Quick Match online features, the FT-1 Vision GT Concept, and the NISMO GT-R.

Please don't. We need fewer speculation threads, not more.

 

[DSkywalker01]

The key words of course were 'for example'.

 

[FerrariFXX 07]

Please don't. We need fewer speculation threads, not more.

Agreed.
Anyway, off to sleep now, so let's see if this update comes to life overnight (10:33 PM currently).

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Read into it what you want, but again, I would wait for an official announcement from PD/Sony before getting yourselves all worked up. 👍 At any rate, at least you know who to shoot the torpedoes at if it doesn't happen.

@Johnnypenso I hate the damn .gif, put it away.

[Suzumiya]

This is getting ridiculous. If some guy off the street said 1.12 is coming out tomorrow you guys would believe it and make a 35 page thread turning into a sound debate.

You guys have noooo chill.

 

[Speedracer8218]

Please don't. We need fewer speculation threads, not more.

I was being sarcastic bro...

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

You know, I get a feeling you just want to see the hype train crash massively so you can say, "I told you so."

Encouraging the creation of this thread would be a massive disservice to GTPlanet.
