Contrary to some points made in the video, I have a different take on the GT7 improvements. Also why is doesn't need to go to PC.
Staple arcade racing Games like NFS and PCARS have had PC ports for a while is becuase they fundamentally statrted life out on on a Windows based PC, like the original NFS did, a la NFS1 & 2 & Hotpursuit. At that time the PC had the best specs for that style of gaming and demands for racing game. I have always enjoyed NFS on PC over it's console counterparts.
Fast forward 30 odd years and consoles have evolved to much better hardware specficiations, gaming engines (custom or UNREAL ENGINE) which have grown in development to match any sort of PC based gaming spec/style. The hardware is still not PC level but you can get quite a good detailed gaming exprience now on the PS5 & Xbox Series X from a technical standpoint.
SO I would honestly see no point of porting GT7 to the PC,
(also typo in the video - 10min mark when she talks about PC it says "Tourismo to PC" lol) you would severly lose it's core demographic audience, there would also be no guarantee of crossplay with PC users as Sony treats this IP as it's baby (mentioned in video) and dont want to it be openly available to other platforms except Playstation.
Back to video, one point they kinda missed out, which I feel is a very valuable aspect of GT7 that is so often overlooked.
RALLYING.
Now it maybe a jaded subject as even PD dont care too much, but I loved in the old games when rallying was first introduced, circa GT2, GT3 and GT4, as it they tried to make it work somewhat, with courses like AMALFI coast, half section of PIKES PEAK (GT2?) EVEN HIDDEN in GT5, and others like Tahiti Maze to name a few. At the time of those games, My little teenage mind was blown up at that time about how crazy the world of rallying was and how GT opened that up to me as a Motorpsort and Car lover.
We have a good physics model in GT7 that works well, they have implemented a new snow track which is great and that works pretty well with most Rally cars & 4x4's, but I would love to see point to point racing liek a True Rallying course should be. Catalunya is close but that isnt tru rallycorss racing at all, it should be 1 v 1 racing, not the 16 cars, all stacked in a bash on first corner bollox, track shenignans.
I know everyone here, would love to make Hillclimb custom monster, kicking up gravel and dirt particles, on your windscreen and tyres, in GT7 and hoon up the peaks course or any other course that they could eventually add! We already have the staple halo car, SUZUKI Escudo and ID.R Ppeak cars, so birng the track back to use them in!
I have been constanly begging for better GT3 race cars as highlighted in the video, all the online races contain old GT3 racecars that are in dire need of improvement, as they mentioned we do have the Suburu BRZ GT500 racecar and others but its not quite enough. To add to this why is 90% of every race in GT7 a rolling start, should we not have grid starts so we all start fairly and battle to the top spot, isnt that how racing works? I DONT GET IT!
They also mention in the video, endurance races which I used to love in GT3 and loved playing those, in contrast with GT7, the Human comedy have spoiled these by creating a far fetched goal to achieve a small mediocre reward. You dont feel as much accomlishment to complete these as you would those long edurance races. The GT7 missions are a bit more creative to say the least in how to achieve a task within GT7.
