Update 1.03 (Released - January 14th)

Even then, they may have been changed abit since then. Recall the Mercedes VGT was shown with a big stationary wing but in-game, its shown with the same small movable wing the real car has.

I think the suggestion was made at the time that was a separate car - the VGT Racing Concept (or something like that). It has different wheels, and a number of different colour schemes. I believe Mercedes said we would get both at some point.
 
So glad all the bugs will be fixed right after I finish the incredibly short and ridiculously easy "career" mode.

Why they don't extend the actual "game" part of the game with DLC is beyond me. Give me a reason to buy the cars and tracks DLC besides MP.

Same problem with GT5.. Seasonal don't count because they are boring and predictable .. I just wish they would extend A-spec in this one.
 
So here is likely why the RedBull x event was delayed?

A life size model at the Detroit show... Perhaps a promotional tie in..

Not necessarily. RB events don't need a a MAJOR update to be unlocked.

If they didn't need a reasonably sized update to add it into the game, they would've just unlocked the content on the 1st. The notification that one update would arrive to fix the date issue, then the news that the event would be available at the end of the month ties in with the statement that there would be two updates in January. You could speculate that because the event couldn't just be 'unlocked', that some extra content not already in the game is on the way and included in the event. There was a statement that they were aiming to release one new track a month after release, after all.

I assume we'll get an update shortly, like within the next week or two. I think a car (or some cars) might be revealed that we'll end up getting. Rumor has it Toyota might unveil a Supra successor this week (which could be their Vision GT car) and that would call for a game update.

They extended A-spec with the 1.01 update. (Freshman Cup added to National B mode.)

Is that so?
If they had the content ready, they would've unlocked it a couple days ago instead of telling us the date was a mistake and telling us to wait a month.

Either way, unless 1.02 already included the x2014 standard and Fan cars, they'll need a big update which includes both cars.

How big would an update be to add a car? I'm honestly asking as I didn't know as well in Gran Turismo 5. The patches already came with the content, in order to use it you had to buy DLC that came with a small 100kb unlocker.

Yeah I know, it's one of the things giving me a small amount of hope that PD will extend A-spec (or career) mode this time.. and give me a reason to buy their DLC. I'm not a huge fan of GT MP... been spoiled by much better MP sims on PC going back years.

That seems really obvious since the concept art in toyotas vgt page looks pretty much exactly like a supra(updated for 2014.)

Not attacking but just curious, if the game is to short and to easy and the seasonals don't offer a challenge then WHY play the game let alone buy GT6 or post on a forum about future updates that may not be promising?

Here is a good reason to buy DLC: ya like what's offered and want to drive it or drive on it. Take the Aventador in GT5. It's was cool, loud, shinny and a Lambo. I didn't need a practical application for it like it was necissary for some specific purpose.

As for this 1.03 update this is all I have to say:

PD is FAILING every day that goes by that they don't release an update. Their reputation as a company gets lessened as well. It's the same "hurry up and wait" nonsense that delayed GT 5 for six years. I will be happy if a true update comes this week - not some seasonal and unlock something. But I'm not counting on it nor do I count on two updates this month.

Yes I very much hope I'm wrong but given the unreliability of PD and their complete lack of ability to keep their word or stick to a
schedule I don't think I will be wrong.

What the hell is going on? Redbull events still say "begins 1st of January" (I assume I'm not the first person to highlight this).

Looks like PD are up to their old tricks again
 
M4 seasonal ends tomorrow at 4 AM - get hyped. Get excited and convince yourself you'll get it tomorrow only to be brutally deluded when it doesn't come. 👍

Estimated chance of the update - 3 potatoes. :lol: (baked)

Damn potatoes...

Six years?! I'm sure GT4 came out in 2004/5 (region specific), the PS3 then came out in 2007 and GT5 prologue came out late 2007/early 2008. GT5 was finaly released in November 2010 so that gives a realistic time frame of a 2 year delay, maximum. Yeah sure, we all know it was delayed but 6 years???!!! Hmmm.

What would an internet post be without a massive helping of hyperbole?
 
PD is FAILING every day that goes by that they don't release an update.


Nobody at Polyphony ever said that update 1.03 was supposed to be out by now. It really is only the next Red Bull events that were supposed to be unlocked on January 1, people took that to mean the next update and it snowballed from there. Polyphony have already explained that the date was incorrect and they apologised for misleading gamers. But the update itself hasn't been delayed and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Jesus, have we been that spoiled by Polyphony's running updates? It hasn't even been a month since the last update and we're already going nuts, talking about PD failing this and PD lazy that. We had two weeks straight of continuous updates and free cars, so now there's downtime. What, Polyphony employees can't have a break? They're a company, not a community service.

Is it that time of month again?

Very selfish and "me" thing to say. You have no right to make such dubious demands towards constant daily updates.

This raised my eyebrows though

What exactly is their schedule? You must know otherwise you wouldn't have said anything and what have they promised? Most of the stuff comes from rumors from Chinese whispers.

What, you want a patch every week?
 
Yes. Ninja updates are for small things, but they are probably trying to get as much as they can in this 1.03 update in order to build foundation for as long time as possible.

Also, the Mercedes glitch didn't help as well and today there are probably be few upset people at PD since the new CFW debugger code allowed for GT6 code-base to be read (read as "most welcome to hacking again").

@amar212 , but how come they didn't learn anything from GT5?

Or does GT arouses much more attention from hackers than other games?
