As a filthy casual, the car selection alone is reason enough for me to pick GT over pcars or AC any time.

It pretty clearly says "Sales Units" down at the bottom and was at 4.88 million worldwide by the end of 2015...
Low for a main numbered GT title, but considering when it released in relation to the PS4 launch...I think it's impressive

It's not PD's fault...I think at the time EA had the exclusive license to porsche.

Yep, I was wrong. And it is super impressive. Now consider that Forza Motorsport 6 only sold 2 million but over 400,000 bought the ~$110 Ultimate Edition and ask how much the GT brand is worth and how little Sony is doing with it. They need to hire guys at PD that can do routine streamlined stuff like laser scanning and refurbishing of cars and tracks to free the hands of PD employees and speed up the process.
Didn't Forza Horizon just add Porsche not too long ago? There's no excuses this time for Gran Turismo Sport not to get Porsche.
Kaz is a disaster of a project manager...

Forza Horizon 2 Porsche Expansion was released in June 2015.
The Porsche Expansion for Motorsport 6 was released last week.

Still a deal as EA is the sole owner of Porsche Digital.
She'll let you lift her skirt but there's a titanium EA chastity belt between you and her ladygarden.
Aren't the Porsche packs payed DLC?

Will this mean it will offer far less features than other titles in its genre yet still charge $60 a la Street Fighter V?
Funny with GT6 I was hoping they would improve/change up the career mode. With how MP/Online centric this gen has been compared to last, I'm going in with the lowest expectations and expecting Sport to have the worst offline content and Career mode (if there is any).
Sole owner of Porsche Digital sounds like that contract will never be broken unless EA wants it to...
Yes, but EA still has to approve for its use as DLC.
Dude, GT6 was also released AFTER THE FUCKING PS4 LAUNCHED. Please tell me when was that last time they released a game in a timely manner? GT4 came out over 11 years ago in the US!

The reality is that GT6 needed to be a ps4 title but it wasn't for some stupid boneheaded reason. That could have been the title they built on a-la Driveclub but instead here we are desperately waiting for the release of what is going to be this generations equivalent of GT Prologue.
Quite frankly, it's a joke.
Quite frankly, it's a joke.
It sounds like to me that either PD hasn't ponied up the cash for EA to let them use the Porsche cars or that EA is completely blocking them from doing so (which I have a hard time believing since several other non EA racing games have now gotten Porsche cars).
I have a feeling the onus is on Sony and PD to pay the money to get Porsche and they just aren't doing so. I'm sure the game will be great but leaving Porsche out of a game about motorsports is just ridiculous.

Do we definitely know that Porsche is not in this game that doesn't even exist in beta form yet and might yet prove to be a dream that Kaz had on a train?

Honestly, if they have any RUF models it doesn't take that much work to have a Porsche ready.

I'm confused, I haven't found anything that says GT Sport was going to be released in March. All I see are rumors by people claiming it to be so. If it wasn't announced how is it delayed or how are you guys so upset?

They said it would be a 2016 title with a beta in early 2016. In the summary Sony used "spring 2016" for the beta.

I'm the same way (minus PSVR which I am thrilled about). The good news is there is a campaign and a couple of other modes that are separate from the e-sports stuff.

Getting excited for a GT title is hard. Announcement and pre launch day are all I care about anymore.
Well, except GT6 releasing on PS3, that was just stupid.

So a date wasn't announced, just people clamoring for something that should arrive in 2016.
Same here. It's been way too long with little to no info. And I concur with 6.
A very easy price to pay, IMO.

Hi amar. Just saw your post.
I find it interesting you say 'if only it was so simple'. I wonder if it is something to do with FIA or licencing issues? Or is it actually a Sony/PD issue?
Whatever it is, it is an extra blow given GT's recent "history".
Edit: I just had a unlikely, but horrible thought. What if PD had secured the Porsche rights but it has now led to a dispute? And neither Sony/PD can talk about it?

Seems concerning we haven't heard anything about the Beta. I'd have loved to have taken part. One of the few betas I'd actually be interested in trying.
They can just create two configurations. Shouldn't be too much more work.
Amar knows nothing, he's just doing his damage control routine for PD's incompetence. Don't let him fool you!
I think you seriously misunderstand the modeling process...

You can feel he's busting to tell us everything he knows! Seems so deflated about it all though....
They said beta in early 2016 and full game in 2016.
Instead we all know it will be beta in late 2016 and full game in 2017
, GT7 MIA.It's Polyphony.
Didn't someone at Sony or Polyphany say back around the launch of the PS4 that the next Gran Turismo shouldn't take that long to produce?

As far back as February '13 PS4 reveal Kaz and all devs that spoke were praising the simplicity of the system...'blank canvas' etc.
Of course virtually every game gets delayed these days. Much more than happened with the impossible to program PS3 era!

GT6 released three years after GT5.
GT4 released three years after GT3.
Stricly speaking release dates - whats the fucking problem?
GT released over 18 years ago!

GT5 was two years late.
When this presentation was made (TGS2007) PD already had a working demo and GT5 Prologue released on schedule in Dec 2007. Took them 3 more years to drop GT5, which is pretty terrible considering their original estimate of 12 months.
They've never recovered from this blow out, and haven't managed to adapt to the new console generation timelines either. GT6 took 12 months too long and wasn't even close to finished when it was released.

We can expect these things from PD!
For example, they made a track for GT5 (Piazza del Campo). a complete karting track that we even watched its gameplay videos. but it was removed due to some political issues or something else.
Or DeltaWings in GT6. they were removed too, although they returned after a month.
