Yeah and makes sense, April 20 2017 --> especially since the beta has gone out, usually these developers release beta's when they are close to release, like ghost recon did.. Beta kinda is the sign your close to full release these days, so yeah really good news...
I don't believe this. Disagree if you like, this is releasing this fall. A game goes gold minimum a month prior to release and we are there already. The beta has to end and they need to improve with the feedback. They will need some months for the final tweaks. Fall seems early for a game like this
Release.com revealed release date April 20th back in December 2015 for GTS
i don't sit around waiting on gaming News to hit N4G . i do daily research on unannounced games /Movie dates. seen trailers upcoming movies for 2018-19... this up coming NFS will release November 22nd unannounced date.
well, it was suppose to release last November-ish... considering that one would have to imagine this game will be out by mid year at the latest. Never know though but the fact it's in beta definitely means they are closing in on a release.
No way it releases April. Playstation needs more time to ramp up marketing. Fall is a good guess but expect an official release date to be announced a while before release
If a major game is going to be released there needs to be advertising and press previews to generate awareness and anticipation. There has been none of that. If i'm wrong send me a [polite] private message and I will eat my hat!
Yet it will get the jump on Forza. Bet sales if they avoid direct competition. Who knows what would happen with Forza on Scorpio. I would have like to see them go head to head. But I do understand the business end of it.
lol It won't even be close. Even the lowest selling GT games best the highest selling Forza game. Microsoft has to bundle Forza Motorsport to even get decent sales numbers.
OT: I don't think that's a legit release date, unless it's for Europe. Games generally release on Tuesdays here in the states.
i'm still not buying gt sport until i've seen motorsport 7. clearly gt sport will sell more as it has a much bigger user base but i don't buy games based on sales. what i've seen of gt sport looks amazing but motorsport 7 could be insane on scorpio
I meant to say better sales for GT if Forza is not seen until later. I Know that GT will sell more. But it will sell even better if it releases earlier as it will.
Probably not coming out until fall. If it was coming in April they were have told us the game has gone gold. At the earliest, it would be out during the E3.
* I hope it's not a dud and they make this game great. They need to really push Forza and make a better game than Forza to push the Forza devs to then make an even better game than GT.
Sweet!!! on a side note, how long will it take them to make a GT8 after this one? I'd hate for the trend of 2 GT games per console cycle to end now because this game has taken all the time.
Except it focusing on the Esports side of racing but ya, i can see how one would think that, tell me do you think Forza Motorsport is the prologue to Horizon now?
"It’s not unheard of though for digital titles to release on Thursdays. So it’s possible (albeit unlikely) that Gran Turismo 7 releases on that day or the site has it mismarked"
I hope I dont come off as a dick, but this really should be news worthy. I see different dates on many online retailers constantly, and sometimes even for items that officially dont even exist. Another (finnish) retailer listed a physical release of Firewatch for over a year now, and the date has changed several times. This store also listed The Last Guardian release as September/October before the official date was confirmed.
GT7 release being a month away seems too soon, so its probably a forgotten arbitrary release date placeholder they set some time ago.
It was originally supposed to be out around the same time as PSVR in November, and didn't get delayed till quite late on, so April can't seem too early. Beta tests are usually within the last couple of months of development, so if it's only going to be minor tweaks then end of April or early May is surely doable?
While I wish this were true, I'm skeptical. They just now released beta. That means they have to collect all the reports from said beta and then actually make those tweaks. That's not something that happens in a day or two. The only way this would be remotely possible is if they were planning on a digital only release so they could bypass manufacturing, which usually takes 4-6 weeks after the code goes gold (which it obviously hasn't). Even then, that's a hustle - especially for a game that seems to love taking its time on the developement side.
Best news in a while.
April 20 2017. If true that would be a pleasant surprise. GT sport is pretty much a day 1 for me
Wasn't there another retailer that listed it for April as well?

My favorite day of the year
