Gran Turismo 7’s January 2025 Update is Coming Next Week

No, getting nothing would be named as "worse update"

No new content is necessarily bad content…

What’s all this nonsense? Make sense people.

Very Odd.

Ah yes! The Toyota C-HR Gr4

 

[Sum1s2pid]

A Civic and an F1 car?!

 

[HarVee]

None of these were worth the long wait. Living on hopium here - but QoL improvements outside of the reported sport mode changes... maybe? maybe.

Engine selling, Kazunori, we need that more than a fake F1 car or a crapbox civic from the '80s.

 

[GlamFM]

Ah yes! The Toyota C-HR Gr4

I'd take that 😬🤷‍♂️

No new content is necessarily bad content, but I am disappointed and don't really care for any of these cars. Will collect, of course, but am still waiting for and wondering why no C5 Corvette?????? Another Civic? Really?
Oh well.

Not just another Civic, but more hatches. PD adding any three-box design cars are far between drinks.

Oh man I can’t wait for Thursday! 😄 Haven’t yet saved enough credits to buy a full grid of F3500-A’s (assuming they’re 1.000.000 each), but enough to fill a decent field of cars 😊 Hopefully I’ll be able to recreate (partly) the 1992 grid.

I'm expecting it to be well north of that, considering the post-launch (and real-world) McLaren MP4/4 debuted at 8,000,000 Cr. and currently sits at 12,000,000 Cr. In fact, I'm expecting it to beat the highest-priced Brand Central car, the (post-launch) Aston Martin Valkyrie and its 4,000,000-Cr. price.

Engine selling, Kazunori, we need that more than a fake F1 car or a crapbox civic from the '80s.

Still have a few hundred from the Extra Menu glitch?

Like expected. The cars are quite lackluster. Proably just with 3-4 events. Looks like a pretty bad update. My ps5 will collect dust for another month. Thankfully next week i will be able to try the game economy and driving acedemy for ac evo.
So i will still have some enjoyment.

I really hope pd has moved more focus towards gt8 witch i think they have.

 

[hyperspeed980]

Considering the 3 months long wait, this is the worst update ever imho

You guys say this every update.

[kjb]

No new tracks….yeah…

We don't know that yet. We know for sure in a few days. That said there may not be a new track

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7’s January 2025 Update is Coming Next Week​

It’s been a quiet few weeks for news on the next game update for Gran Turismo 7, but we now have confirmation that it’ll be landing on consoles this coming week — most likely on Thursday 30th January...

I am so tired of these pointless updates with useless cars (although I do look forward to the F-3500). We need new GT3/GT4, LMH/LMdH, new tracks like Imola, Singapore, etc. At this point, GT7 risks being relegated to obsolescence by the likes of ACE.

New update, MOAAR people on my ignore list!

That won’t happen. What will, hopefully, happen are if ACE comes out for console, players that are only stuck on GT or Forza will begin have an appreciation for other car games. This would be beneficial to the car gaming industry and overall car enthusiasm.

That CANNOT be a C-HR. If it is....you've got to be KIDDING ME

Joins online community. Ah, this is a perfect place to be self-absorbed.

Nope.

Kazunori Yamauchi on Gran Turismo Fan Expectations, SUVs, Expensive Wheels, Tourist Trophy, and More

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet: Kazunori Yamauchi on Gran Turismo Fan Expectations, SUVs, Expensive Wheels, Tourist Trophy, and More Over the holiday period, and to mark Gran Turismo’s 25th Anniversary, Polyphony Digital invited Japanese gaming media to a rare tour of...

www.gtplanet.net

“I think it’s because they take it for granted that car culture will continue into the future,” he comments. Noting requests for cars like the Toyota Chaser and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, he states “If you do [only] that, it will probably end, easily. It is not connected to the future at all,” adding “if all you want is old cars that’s fine, but that will never last.”


With that in mind, Yamauchi also reflects on the changing face of motoring today. “The types of cars are changing a lot… In the past, car enthusiasts drove sports cars… Nowadays, car enthusiasts often drive SUVs… I think we have to cover such cars.”

 

[Dbwasson]

I'm still convinced we're getting a C-HR GR Sport

 

[hamishl]

Given we’ve gotten new wheels the last couple of updates, I wonder if we will see some more in this update too.

 

[HarVee]

Still have a few hundred from the Extra Menu glitch?

I do. But even if I didn't I'd still be advocating for selling engines. It seems like such a basic QoL feature at this point. They gave us buyable engine swaps at level 50, why not the sellable engines too?

The middle part of the bonnet of what people think is a civic looks higher than the sides wich is the opposite of the civic, the civic's middle part was lower! Also the extension between the headlight and the bumper is something the civic doesn't have!

 

[Famine]

Nope.

I like the fact that this article is the one in which we reference Yamauchi's comments that every time there's an update, people comment what things - usually cars - they'd like to see instead of the ones that are in the update.

And here we are, two years later and... yeah.

Like war, GTPlanet never changes.

Oh it's not here. Just check out the responses on Twitter, if you dare/want.

 

[HarVee]

I've read the X comments on prior updates, a lot of wish listing indeed.

That was pointed out. It appears to be a Civic EF3 SiR. The bumper is extended and the bumper lights wrap around.

Edit: Just to add about the wheels mentioned in a few posts above, we’ve got Spoon wheels, I wouldn’t mind these Mugen wheels added to the game. From the Mugen website.

Not really related to this update but does anyone know why the Ferrari line-up in GT7 lacks the 360 and F355? Does someone else hold an exclusive licence? Just seems to be a glaring omission that I hope is resolved each time there’s an update.

I’m super happy to see the new (old) F1 car. Formula cars really shine in VR.

Pretty much every line-up from every manufacturer has many glaring omissions... they can't add everything.

 

[GundamEmpire]

One of the two mystery ones looks like it could be an Alfa.
