Will there be any more surprise tracks/cars?

[Quakebass]

I find it odd that Seattle hasn't popped up, even though we've seen it in the NSX trailer way-back-when. It would irritate me if they held it back simply to make more money off DLC sales.

Edit: And I don't see how licensing should get in the way, considering it's a fictional track, and PD would be able to remove/censor advertisements or logos on various buildings. Even if T10 is doing some sort of Seattle track (since that's a major local city for them), I don't really see how you can purchase licensing rights to a location like that. The only legitimate reason I could see PD holding it back now is if they're doing a modern recreation of if, since even the version in GT4 was massively outdated with the King Dome still being there.

I think there will be a good hard look at what XBO and F5 comes out with and based on what is finally shown at release will have PD deciding how much more gets thrown in at release and what gets held back as DLC.

I think it's too late. The gold phase is imminent.

 

[disinfected]

Discussing if there will be "surprises" is kind of contradictory, isn't it?

Well they could be in the process of making it look nicer. They only showed one corner in the NSX trailer, maybe that's all they had redone at the time. I really hope it comes one way or another in 6.

Actually you would be right, unless there's stuff on there that is still to be announced. Good call

 

[sepulturite]

I don't think so. they have already announced the official car and track list on their website. but for other features, maybe.

It's not the final car list though

There's no doubt it'll show up (I HIGHLY doubt licensing issues could be a factor, as it's a GT original circuit.), it's just a matter of when. As I said, it would SERIOUSLY piss me off if PD pulled an EA/CodeMasters and held back content for future profit.

why would they release half assed information on their website? I'm quite certain it's the whole car list. Now if it wasn't on their website then yeah, it's not official, but the fact that you can find the car list on their website indicates that that's it.

* This list is one part of the cars planned for inclusion, and is subject to change.

indicates that the car is appearing for the first time in the series

it says that above the car list, that wouldn't be there if it was definitely the final list

Well one way to look at this is to look at the release of gt5 and the news about new features. How late were new tracks and cars announced? Gt5 was released 24th of november 2010. Gt6 is going to be released 6th of december 2013.

Here are some news items from gtplanet about gt5. Look at the dates:

Jeff Gordon special event:
https://www.gtplanet.net/jeff-gordon-featured-in-gran-turismo-5s-nascar-events/
November 18th, 6 days before the release

Official track and car lists were announced about
https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-official-car-list/
https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-official-track-list/
Both november 12th, 12 days before the launch

The new gt5 track, cape ring announced
https://www.gtplanet.net/two-laps-of-gt5s-new-cape-ring-periphery-circuit/
November 9th, 15 days before release

Trophy list:
https://www.gtplanet.net/complete-gran-turismo-5-trophy-list-revealed/
November 8th, 16 days before release

Gt5 went gold
https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-goes-gold-being-stamped-as-we-speak/
November 2nd, 22 days before release


We are now 28 days away from release. If things are going the same way things went with gt5 we could have lots of stuff still coming to our way. Notice how late the cape ring track was announced for example.

Hope for the best, expect the .... (expect what we already have)

Haven't driven a Nike in a while. Why else would their logo appear under Vision GT?

For all we know that could mean future cars will be available as DLC. but I'm honestly still 99% positive that that's the list that we will be seeing in the game day 1. I don't think they will reveal anything more from now till next month

Well you have your opinion and I have mine, so lets leave it at that lol

It might not be "held back" even if it does show up as DLC. They could still be in the process of making it visually presentable. They may have only had that small bit done when the NSX trailer was released. Only PD knows how done it actually is at the moment.

The Nike One may make a comeback but I have a feeling it's part of the GT Vision project and it'll be something completely new. Both would be even better.

Likely no one will ever know what is ready to go and when, so there's no point in getting even the least bit upset about it. Kaz already said, "One track per month" so that's at least 12 DLC, so expect to shell out $50-$100 this year if you want all the content.

I will happily shell out $100 bucks a year for additional content. $2 a week is a small price to pay for the enjoyment I get out of GT. Especially when I consider being a part of the SNAIL league.

I have no problem with it either but I'm guessing there's going to be some major caterwauling about it down the road

 

[forzaturismo]

surprise us PD!!!!!! (but in the good way.....)

 

[Xride92]

It was Seattle, just look at the buildings.

The track from the trailer looks like standard as côte d'Azur track, look at the flat textures building, I think the track Is not ready to be in the game

 

[ShiftingGears]

Certainly more "surprises" in the form of DLC. What quantum leap would there be without it?

As far as release goes, nobody knows.

Maybe its just the GT4 track in the GT6 renderer?

 

[ShiftingGears]

I would say they have a few more up their sleeve for release. There will definitely be some surprises with the DLC. There wouldn't be a "quantum leap" without it.

 

[KKHN]

The models of the trees seem to come from GT5/6, maybe it's just my impression.

 

[VDG]

Yet still one more Australian location, hopefully a track, has to be announced.

If this happens, I think we'll certainly see some Aussie cars added too.

Albert Park Albert Park Albert Park..god I'd be so happy..

 

[sk8er913]

Would any of the Vision GT cars be Day 1? Im making a point of buying every BMW in game that I like... the vision car is one of them.

All 1s, 3s, 5s, Race Cars except for the LMP, classics, and vision

 

[iainoflo85]

Would any of the Vision GT cars be Day 1?

It's unlikely. The Vision GT cars were promised as an "ongoing" thing, so I am presuming they will come as DLC over the next 12 months.
