Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.52 Discussion Thread

[24Lemons]

I tend to feel that at this stage in the games life, any updates should be headline content. This is just yet more beige vanilla fluff. The game would be no worse off for the absence of this content, as such it is pointless.

I don't know about that, I'd be rather impressed if they'd had the 2024-model GT-R in the game in March 2022!

You know what I meant....
Except for the GTR specifically here, which is technically and practically still a copy paste from a template and given some minor tweaks...

Actually, All three cars here are based on templates....

I am not being ungrateful or indignant toward PD or Kaz
I know how much work they have to go through in seeking perfection, since I know what their end goal is, which a full 8K encyclopedia of cars....

With limited resources, it is bound that we see things we have been expecting and have seen before trickle down extremely slowly back....

What we saw , all the cars and all the tracks from previous GT games, may or may not come back, but if they do, it will be painfully slow getting what we have been yearning for so long...

So I still stand by my words, this is a tiny update in the Gran skim of things.... There are newer cars that others games have, but we are still lagging behind... That's what is even more frustrating....

Whether PD /Kaz give us what we want in a nice free update, or in a brand new game, I don't care , but I want it and I am willing to pay for it if it is a new game....

Would I pay for an update? It depends on the value of it...

If it is Spec 3 with at least 50 news cars and tracks... Sure as long as the price is reasonable (below $30 max)

Well I know I'm going to have a great evening with my mates, sending it in obscenely coloured Hi-Aces on a wet Nordschleife.

Propbably could have done that in the ambulance but that's not the same.

I do acknowledge that you basically need a group of mates and some dedication to really keep the game fun, which is a shame.

 

[PSN:And-War]

so unexciting...

 

[jrbabbitt]

We need a 1974 Dodge Monaco, 1975 Dodge Monaco and 1974 Chevrolet Bel Air for the Chicago scapes

Oh nice, will see if I can do some Blues Brothers scenes....

Also it would have been nice if we could get the Nismo 270 back...

[DanteRaiden]

They added the GT-R I can't afford in real life. At least I'm grateful to drive it virtually anytime hahahaha

 

[juanffy18]

Same old thing,just how many GTRs does the game need??Was quietly hoping for something better to bring me back,so it’s back to playing NMS until something worthwhile appears in a future update.

Obviously one more GTR will be come to the game at least. The 2007 model, because of the history reference and what means to Polyphony

 

[Majorlazer]

Don’t forget the Black Edition ‘12, Black Mask ‘07 and the NISMO ‘14 - all from GT6 (Black Mask from GT5) 😄

Don't forget the 2001 concept car.

Obviously we need all of the R35s and Skylines

plus the Italdesign R35

Project: GT-R 50 by Italdesign - 2018 - Italdesign

Nissan and Italdesign have created a new prototype vehicle in their first-ever collaboration.

Is there a way to have cars on their roofs in scapes?

 

[juanffy18]

Yes please the R33 GTR LM GT1 or the road version

I don't think any expansion to the event roster is pointless. The game launched with about 100 events and over the updates that number got bumped to 220, while it's easy to look at this as "it's just another 5 events, who cares", over time, it adds up to make the game a better experience.

If you buy it tomorrow.

When you bought it at launch we've had to painfully wait for all these additions and updates.

It's one thing to recognise where we are today but also prudent to remember how achingly slowly we got here and with quite a few miss steps along the way.

Another way to look at it is for the first 5 or so updates it's easy to go "yay new cars and races" 2 years down the line for "some" people these few car updates and corresponding events seem a little hollow. I love the game, platinum trophy, nearly 6k sport mode races and counting but being brutally honest they just don't feel like strong enough "content" updates just a few more car models (meticulously scanned and detailed but from a 99% bumper cam player I don't even get to appreciate them in any great detail)

Edit:

Just to clarify, everybody does themselves and if stuff floats your boat that's great. This is a forum to express different view points and mine is as stated. It's hard to get super excited about a van, another GTR and another Evo when I spend my time in areas of the game that don't benefit from them and an area that has seen little to no love since launch.

 

[Dbwasson]

As an Illinoisan, I'm happy to see Chicago being added to scapes

 

[05XR8]

The question is whether the Evolution Meeting (the first new series since the Jimny Cup in 1.42) will have an associated Menu Book.

@05XR8, you got the GT-R Cup part right. It was bold predicting a new chili race, though it isn't without precedent; we got a pair of GT Cup Gr.3 events (Red Bull Ring and Mount Panorama, both 5-chilis) in 1.40.

We need a 1974 Dodge Monaco, 1975 Dodge Monaco and 1974 Chevrolet Bel Air for the Chicago scapes.


To add to @Rossell2's answer, the quattro Pikes Peak, the 2002 TT and a (I think the newer) R18, requiring a Collector Level of 42. It probably will be for a car ticket.

I was going to put the Evo event on that list instead of the Gr.4, but that would have been too logical.

Had a feeling PD would do the Premium trim like they did the 2017.

If the R35 is that T-Spec, is it the Premium or Track Edition?

2022 Nissan GT-R T-Spec coming to Australia as last hurrah

There's one more special edition in store for Nissan's iconic supercar before it bows out in Australia.

www.drive.com.au

I’ll predict we get the NISMO at some stage.

 

[MoLiEG]

At least the Evo Event is nice.

But still, having a Hiace over (insert just about anything you like here) is simply putrid.

All events suck...not a better experience, when people grind four same races. ~2.5 years by now.

A thing to check in the morning: Right now, the Evo IX increases in PP from its listed number (510.20 to 510.66) the moment you buy it in Brand Central. That was not the case prior to the 1.50 hotfix.

If that changes, they've likely done some suspension fixes regardless of whether it is mentioned in the patch notes tomorrow.

The Evos are just some of the 126 cars (and counting; not all of the UCD/Hagerty's cars have come back into the dealerships since I noticed the discrepancy shortly after the 1.50 update) that have the wrong PP listed in the various dealerships. A correction, especially on the dealership end, would not necessarily be indicative of a suspension fix.

Well there was in update 1.49 🤣 who knows, if there's another physics change in this one then maybe there will be another way 😂

 

[Tetraturbo]

People complaining about this update seem to forget that this is just a filler update and that we've got a major update coming up in November with the PS5 Pro patch

 

[pornomazinger]

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.52 Arrives October 3: Three New Cars, New GT Sophy Tracks​

The headline contents for the next Gran Turismo 7 update, 1.52, have been revealed just as expected, ahead of its arrival on Thursday October 3...

nobody cared about VR, nobody cares about 8K... and so much things missing in this game, its so sad.

How do you know its a major update? It may be just an update to enable the pro features with the usual few cars etc,hopefully it may be something bigger but who knows.

Tbh with PD had been giving big updates every 5/6 months, so it is a possibilty based in experience so far

 

[tankuroded]

anything PD does release now "should have been in the game at release"

For this part it can be as well either "should have been in GT Sport" (so it can be carried over to GT7) or "should have been added upon the car's launch" (for current-year cars).

I hope youre right but at this point i'll believe it when i actually see it.

 

[FluxWildly]

Its good to see some more tracks being added to Sophy's resume.
When they first introduced Sophy 2.0 I was hoping they would do something like this, add one or two tracks for it added each update.

I wonder what its commitment level will be though the CoD at Dragon Trail🤔

 

[05XR8]

Not for nothing, but the thumbnail of the three cars on Tokyo Expwy look just like what we'd(well those of us in countries that get the HiAce) see together on the road. Cool stuff.

Should be fun setting up a spectating replay to see vans, little hatches, passenger sedans and the odd white 996 GT3, Drift King AE86 and Top Secret Supra blasting through Tokyo Expwy traffic.

 

[LSFDRX]

So the janky bouncy physics are probably not going to be fixed, then?

It will be a major misstep if they release an update with a specific car and leave in issues that plaque that exact car! We'll have to wait and see, haha.

I'm always exited to get an update, but this one seems phoned in for me at the moment. All three of these cars already exist in game, so there's not a lot of novelty to it. It's strange to see so many people pining over the EVO when we just got the IX and the VIII is so similar (fascias, taillights and some bits are changed... 99.9% the same car). I'd much rather have a new model of something rather than a facsimile of a rig we've already got... even if the EVOs are all amazing cars that I love.

Honestly, if they move closer to optimizing the physics I'll be more than happy with this one. I'm looking forward to driving any EVO again, and I'm hoping some of the other nonsense 1.49/1.50 caused is fixed too.
