What the hell....
Please someone needs to tell Kaz we'd even pay a million credits for an engine swop, if it meant we can click on it in the parts section :/

This is just the "new engine" car part. The thing that restores the car's engine to its original unmodified state. Engine swaps aren't part of the game yet, even though I did just see (hear) two 4-rotor RX-7's in a race, along with that fast Beetle.
They might be part of the "new tuning parts" update.

They are. That's what we're talking about. You can only win them in roulettes.
Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility
As you'll be aware by now, GT7 has engine swaps! Yay! 🎉 The feature works by either gifting you an engine through a roulette ticket (rare in general tickets, some engine-specific tickets are available) or as expensive buyable items through the engine swap facility in GT Auto. Only some cars can...

Engine replacement is only to restore the car's own factory engine. For example, if you get a new Viper engine, you can only replace it in another Viper. That's how I understood it. Apparently, the engines wear out. The Porsche-powered Beetle must be a special model.
Roulettes are just a way for you to win a new part or new engine for free, which can only be used on the specific car. That's what I understood.

No, you can win certain engines (full part) that are compatible with certain cars... That's the way it is, and why those RX7 sounded different on that event

tbh.....
I'd like if they had like a wrecking yard or a section of GT Auto with a rotating inventory of parts, engines, etc. I don't mind having scarcity in the game (it makes things a little more interesting than say, GT6) but I do think there's more better ways of doing it than the roulette system.

This would just end up with them making more money from the microtransactions credit packs as people desperate for that engine swap will pay them cash.
*Also breaks the economic immersion if a 911 cost $150k while it's engine for a swap cost around a million 😏

I don't think its cool, its annoying and the odds are stupid for anything you want. I would rather grind to pay for 50,000+ credit engine swaps than to grind for tickets that give you a high chance of little money. PD are very capable of let you buying new ideas directly like the Interior Gauges in GT6 (I bet a lot of people forgot that was a feature and should brought back).

Jesus christ, it's the single-use paint chip nonsense all over again. While PD clearly has a deep understanding of cars, it seems they have very little idea of the concept of 'fun'.
I was already off the train thanks to the F2P microtransaction implementation and the single player progression being locked behind an always-online requirement; this just adds to the reasons not to come back. PD's game design ethos is flawed to say the least; you would have thought they'd have learned something by now, as these aren't exactly mistakes they haven't made before.
Unfortunately it's unlikely that enough of the fanbase is going to stand up and complain in order to get this changed, given that virtually no-one is complaining about F2P mechanics and arbitrary locks as it is.
Time to find a new way to scratch my racing itch.

If you don't like the paint chip then just use the Select Colour option (or even better, Colour Picker) in Livery Editor? (the paint chip is in the Special Color menu)
Paint chip isn't the only way to paint your car in this game, this is just a lie (stand up and complain for what? spreading false info?) and senseless (irrational) negativity.

I was talking about when they were first implemented, in GT5. Your post does show that PD can learn from their mistakes; it's just a shame they keep repeating them with other aspects of the game.
[e] As for my negativity, it's neither senseless nor irrational. This is a game selling for £15 more than other top titles, that uses F2P monetization tactics and tricks, has the single player locked behind an always-online requirement, and the multiplayer locked behind a subscription to another service (PS+). One or two of these things might be ok (we all accept that a PS+ subscription is required, for example) but when considered together it really shows just how far the series has fallen.
That there's not been more of a kickback from the fanbase astounds me.

Wonder if PD will add drivetrain swaps or disable 4WD. Maybe a torque split 100% front or rear. Not so much as start seeing Coyote swapped Focus RS rear wheel drive projects. Just thinking since PD have thought of adding these conversions, drivetrain tuning should be on the menu. Look at the four wheel steering upgrades. Are those really needed?

To be specific I was refering to the paint chip part here. The reason for always online is said to avoid people from modifying and cheating with the save data for the game, but that can be implemented better true, like present liveries for Livery Editor.
He started the post with "it's the single-use paint chip nonsense all over again" so by the 3 last words I thought he was talking about GT7.
Strawman.
It's as much of a dismissal of your point, as your comment did mine.Strawman.
Can anyone name another AAA console game (or any game, really) that locks the single player progression behind an always-online requirement in order to 'prevent cheating'? I honestly can't think of any.
Dedicated online games like iRacing don't count.

I think winning an engine from a ticket would be really cool, but having that be the only way to acquire them permanently would be utter madness, an engine shop had better be in the works.
In general, I see a lot of problems with acquisition so far. I've only just completed the Pan-American championship, mind you, but I don't see how anyone's expected to get, say, the F50. It's sitting in the Legend Cars dealership for 3,300,000 (and Hagerty says it's going up). If it's not a prize car, and I am supposed to win the spicy Mini race (or hopefully something else) until I have that money, it almost certainly won't even be there when I have it!
It's like they wanted to add a certain sense of deflating realism to looking at nice things and being reminded you'll probably never have them.
