Update 1.31 speculation thread - coming December 5th

[Silver_Wolf]

Well I'm starting to feel that "excitement bug" for the new cars but I guess I am actually quite interested in the new Tokyo Expressway
circuit variants.

Wanted to mention one point but maybe you all covered it but given we have a Tokyo Expressway circuit experience already this means it
will be first addition with an update where we won't have a circuit experience event for the track?

Just saying as could mean another addition will come for circuit experience?

 

[Ryan Dungey]

Ok I may be wrong here, but does that couple of 911s happen to be by any stretch new? Sunday stream:
They appear to be 991s, and I see a spoiler in the yellow/gold one. Also, the front splitter in the red one tells me turbo. So, 991 Turbo?

Can you give a time stamp for when they appear I cba to trawl through it

There are separate experiences for both Central and East, so I assume a South experience would be added (in the update post-addition).

The combined Kyoto and alternative Maggiore layouts didn't feature circuit experiences, if you count them.

There is a decent chance of it coming to the game, but I have seen it everywhere as they are really pushing the new Vantage so may just be for show like the cars at the Madrid games festival for the regional competition.

If I recall correctly though, all the cars, in physical real form were currently in game. The Vantage is the only one I've seen so far that is not.

I had forgotten that it's been so long since I did them so I guess they will add a south one then.

 

[SSQES]

I did see a high single-digit number of new vehicles, but I didn't have quite enough time/opportunity to verify them all, or find if there were more than the ones I saw.

Real question : Does PoDy tell you to not spoil/reveal anything or you just want to keep the surprise?

Nobody has told us anything, but they don't have to - it's a bit rude to start leaking out information before they're ready to reveal it, so we don't, so they don't need to tell us to... but it helps get our update articles lined up nice and early to beat the rush

Everything revealed so far has been publicly available on the stream, playing on consoles in the background of certain clips or, like the F50, actually used at the final.

Every update has circuit experience from the track added in the past update. So this time is the boring Montmelo circuit experience.
And every Tokyo layout has own circuit experience

Hard to tell if these two a new ones, I personally don't think so

The red looks different from the one in the gt3 RS

Yeah it's hard to say. It's so pixelated, part of me wants to say the red one is the GT4 RS but it's most likely not.

It should play from there on, it's 7:06

 

[Ryan Dungey]

Right I screenshotted it myself and had a look correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the yellow one is a convertible and the red one a Targa?

The yellow Porsche is giving me 991 GT3 vibes.

 

[Loverson]

To be honest i think it's just one of those scapes when the 2 new porsches car got added before

Yea I also thought the red one to be a Targa. That would be quite interesting. We'll see.

The exit vent behind the wheel arch reminds me of the turbo models.
The rear wing looks more turbo style also.

 

[warp9engage]

Sorry to say guys but that is a screenshot that appears in GT Sport menus since 1.28. It's a scape with a red 997 GT3 and a yellow 996 GT3, both already in-game.

 

[RaY29rus]

Sooo, I watched all three streams again (ye, I have quite a lot of free time) and I'm sure we didn't miss anything on the screens. I guess people who were there could see some new cars, but none of these (except Fugu Z) were catched by live stream cameras.

Yup can confirm.
There are so many scapes photos done on menu, wish i could show it since it's rng.

Can you at least give a clue as where to look, i.e which stream...?

Well... remember that we were there and so not really watching the streams (except to grab the occasional image for the news section). I don't know what hasn't been featured on the streams, and I didn't get quite as much time with the game build as I'd have liked.

Some other people were doing something similar, and I think a couple of other cars have been revealed that way - but we're saying nothing until it's publicly available; all we said originally was that the F50 wasn't a typo and wasn't alone

I'd hope they caught the F50, as it was in the first of the Nations Cup Final races...

I'm pretty sure that it's a Scape of the 996 and 997 GT3s that came in a previous update

 

[mastretta_mx]

So the leaked cars are not properly a leak? I think that PD let those in purpose knowing someone would put the pics in The social networks

 

[RaY29rus]

Oh, yea, sure
F50 actually was in one of the scapes photos before the race, forgot to mention that.

 

[BrunusCL82]

@Famine, Have you been to Monaco? News about the original circuits? Holy Trinity?

 

[05XR8]

Well, with PDI getting that modelling help, we'll just have to wait for the other "new to GT Sport" cars(Starion, Stratos, Alfa 155, SCG, GT Award cars).
Bring on the 180 cars: '69 Camaro, BMW 507, El Camino, Shelby GT350, Honda Fit, Toyota Aqua S and Vitz, Trans Am, all that.

rumor of a pontiac trans am floating around

See? That's how speculation works.

 

[Famine]

@Famine, Have you been to Monaco?

Umm... yes...

News about the original circuits? Holy Trinity?
