The additional leak that had the Vantage and the R31 Skyline, excluding GT Sport leftovers, now has only one remaining car left that isn't also in the OP: The 1992 M2 1001 (the tuned NA MX-5).
It’s probably more around the wish list vs model year availability and I would have to double check I don’t think there was any specific spec differences from the 2017 launch to the 2019 MY car. They sold so few (relatively)
There was a precedent for this - the Megane Trophy '11, first appearing in GT6, is internally named
megane_trophy_09 (as it was the original plan for GT5).
We are, thanks.
I’ve been playing this game for over 25 years mate, making up races doing some crazy fun stuff, taking the weird cars round the ring.
I am 45 years old, and have been playing Gran Turismo since the first game was released in 1997. It has nothing to do with being in a "different place to me in your GT journey". Having played the series for so many years, I have learned how to utilize what we have (as far as content) to get the most enjoyment out of the game. Whether that's playing online (overrated in my opinion), or utilizing the offline tools/events, it's about using your own creativity to make the game fun. Those who focus primarily on the online mode (and typically continuously pining for GT3 cars, and nothing else....) are welcome to that approach, but it's extremely limiting. If that's your focus, I can understand why the game seems lacking. As you said, different horses for different courses. You do you.
Fair point, but be open enough to understand that after so long the competition in actual racing against humans is more rewarding that than for the 25th year smashing the AI.
So how does the content of the updates of the last few years prevent you racing in sport mode?
It doesn’t prevent it, it just robs us all of better cars for late game longer single player races and new tracks.
A fair point, to be sure. However, you seem to be misunderstanding one aspect. Granted, I probably wasn't clear. I DO play online (S Rating, at least currently...lol). I just don't find it all that interesting, or even all that challenging (usually, that is). As I said, I think the GT7 online mode is overrated. I find creating races/race series, and dealing with the various online AI's (Sophy most of all) to be a more interesting challenge. Setting up vehicles and working out how to make the races competitive (tire wear/fuel use/tire choices/AI vehicle choices/etc... etc...) a more fulfilling experience than racing random people online over and over again, in the same 5 or 6 meta cars. To me, it's the online that is stale (i.e "boring"). I get where you are coming from. I really do. I just don't agree. To each their own. Luckily both are perfectly reasonable play styles. I'll just end with what I said at the start. Every update (and every car within it) can be enjoyed utmost with a bit of imagination. Even if online is your thing. I can remember a race between nothing but Toyota C-HR's (on a private server) that was 25 laps of close racing around Spa. Epic fun. With the right state of mind it's all gravy, baby.
It doesn’t, never said it did
Again it doesn’t, I’m trying to understand how the type of car from the updates affects your goal of being better than your peers. Surely it doesn’t matter what you’re driving, if you’re racing against someone that’s the thrill whether it’s in a Suzuki carry or a m6 gt3, which being better than your peers is perfectly capable with the content at launch and updates we’ve had.
