This forum has been moved out of the "other Gran Turismo Games" section as well......now has its own section....just happened i think.
It was moving around for quite awhile - since I jumped in here to edit the OP in the AI Hub - which was maybe an hour or so ago. I pity the Admins at a time like this - however - they do a really great job keeping us up to date - so a quick 'Thank You!' thrown their way. 👍
Good thing we have other games on other mediums to keep us sensible people satisfied. 👍
Now let's get out of here before we get lynched.
Good thing we have Free Will, too, eh?
The name 'GT Sport' was in the pipeline for a while to be fair. I've been hesitant to refer to the game as GT7 because of it. Whether its a case of quality over quantity this time around is too early to make certain. It is a change for the series. It's a spin off more than anything else. Still, hyped for the BETA in 2016! That is, if it isn't delayed....
What do you guys think, is Gran Turismo 7 a title that isn't going to happen? Or is this game Gran Turismo 7 Prologue with a different name and focus, with Gran Turismo 7 development in full swing? There's still some questions here.
That said, I'm hyped.
I have probably never referred to the next iteration as GT7 - or hardly ever, not that I can remember. I was always under the impression that the Marketing Gurus would come up with something else - numbered sequels can be numbing so I would refer to it as 'the next GT' or 'the next 'iteration'. But is this going to be the final? Will we break away from the numbers? Or merely add them? I can't see it being called 'GT Sport 7' or 'GT7 - Sport' . . . . so this points to a 'Prolouge'-type hype situation - but that, too, would be just a induction.
One thing's for sure - they wanted to get something out soon to prevent the GT market stagnating as well as dangle a carrot before the eyes of long-time fans who were impatient for the next serving of GT, come what may.
EDIT: Also, what's with the age range of "7 to 77"? Like really, can that really be anything other than a hint of GT7?
Good and bad Marketing strategies in there. Good that they emphasize the wide spread of age, but bad that they limit it with specific numbers. We have +77s here that really kick ass in this game.
So it's just more GT academy online BS then? What a waste of time.
I never once clicked on my GT Acadamy sector of the game - it came and went with me just glancing at the icon which always said 'NEW' till it disappeared off my UI.
It never interfered with my game, though; there was plenty of other stuff to keep my attention.
