Gran Turismo 7 “April” Update Content Predictions…

With the game in a bit of a low score zone at the moment, we can hope that the first content update may start to improve the game and hopefully lay the foundations for what Gran Turismo 7 was supposed to be. I’m curious as to know what you fellow GT Players roughly predict the content for the first update will contain (assuming April will be the first month of new content which I’d like to safely assume but being PD at this point, who knows). If a thread similar or exactly like this already exists, then this can be removed.
 
I predict no additional content in April.

GT SPORT received its first content update in late December, 2 months after the release. GT SPORT also had less problems at launch, which is kinda important to keep in mind. Fixes should always come before content.
 
My guess is that we will get the Tesla Model 3 that was teased since the modeling on it is likely complete:

Can’t wait to win the High Lift Camshaft Upgrade Kit for the Model 3 on a roulette ticket. :lol:
 
Let me think....

  • Since the economy in this game sucks. We are not going to spend 2500 credits when we want to apply a Livery 🤦‍♂️
  • Lobbies are going to work
  • Decrease any Race / Championship credits that users are using to buy ONE car after running 1 hour the same thing over and over again
  • They are going to fix the Livery Editor again, but this time, for real
 
I really look forward to them doing something about the ridiculous handling of some cars, and the snap that still plagues the good ones. It is known enough and complained about enough that it is a highly visible issue that PD can't ignore. People that play GT for a living, have thousands of hours and A+ driver ratings are still having a hard time making it around tracks in even some GT3 cars, which is just a flat out stupid problem. The Audi Gr3 is an unreignable monster that spins at 140mph under throttle, tries to back itself into every corner and all this is with downforce... something that is so unrealistic it is tarnishing the feelings some have about the physics, which is 100% understandable. If it were a real life car, it would be banned from competition before it killed everyone around it. Same with some other Gr3, and many other various class cars.

The comfort tires, and all tires for that matter, are also ridiculously low grip and behave like old, hard junkyard tires where you can light them up in second with a low power car.

Then there's just the inability to predict and catch a car, then lock into a slide and meter your throttle to manage it. As it is, you have to COMPLETELY drop throttle to catch it and only accelerate when the car is perfectly settled, whereas in real life this division is much easier to deal with.

Still love the game despite the absolute deluge of problems, but I'm still very hopeful that we will see it come back to life when they release some "head out of their ass" updates.

I have a feeling this will happen, as well. There are fixes that need to take priority over content at the moment.

However, if content would be added in April, I would hope they start looking at GT6 detailed cars. A nice pack would include could include at least 4 to 5 cars that appeared in GT6 and 1 to 2 newcomers. The number of cars per month may fluctuate from month-to-month, but consistency is key to begin in April. For the track in April, I would say Apricot Hill since it was teased in previous trailers or Twin Ring Motegi. My reason for Twin Ring is the circuit does have a real-life Gran Turismo Cafe, which could be a nice tie-in with the Cafe mode in GT7. In addition, the facility has four layouts (Super Speedway, Full, East and West) for more races and possible events. With this in mind, more menu books/general events could be added. I would say 3 to 5 would be good with at least 5 to 10 events. Lamborghini, Historic Cup and Super GT Cup being added would be good start.
 
The 11 missing menu's. These would cover Gr1,2,3 and 4 with possible classics as well. That would create more events.
This would be the most logical thing considering they are presumably already completed. Allowing us to add some more free cars to our garage and some higher payouts to earn credits. Another fix that should be coming is adding some much needed options in lobbies.
Hopefully more frequent updates will happen until the game is fully playable. Then maybe we will see updates with cars and or tracks.

Can we please make the distinction between content and a wishlist for rebuilding the game? I’m pretty sure OP was only asking for the former.

What I want is one thing, what I expect:

Three cars that only appeal to a very specific type of car fan. To most of us, they’ll go ignored.

A handful of events utilising existing tracks, maybe one championship, tied to a few more menu books.

That’s yer lot.

I don't give a flying duck about content until the economy is fixed, I can't enjoy the content already in the game anyway. What good does it do me if 10 new unobtanium cars show up in the "legendary" dealer?
