I'm starting to believe that GT7 is only the prologue for the next real Gran Turismo... Which is going to be the prologue of the next real gran turismo....
This is already conclusive for some of people. When Kaz said, more than five years ago, that all GT Sport assets were being created in high resolution, in 8k, it is assumed, by conclusion, that a logic of content accumulation was adhered to in managing content for the next games in the franchise, so GT Sport would just be a prologue to GT7, and GT7 will just be a scaled-down version of the next Gran Turismo game.

Gran Turismo 7 itself is the GT Sport Director's Cut, Definitive Edition, Deluxe Edition or Remastered, as the slight and timid evolution of GT Sport may be called.

But this is no demerit, given that the digitization work is increasingly detailed and demanding.

The problem with that is what comes after a prologue should be bigger than what came before. Gran Turismo games have been getting smaller in scope since GT6 which had a shorter career and less to do than GT5 which had more to do than GT Sport which still managed to have a notably larger career mode than GT7 (post career mode being added of course).

The games are heading in the wrong direction, its not cars and tracks that are the problem, it's meaningful things to do with/on them.

If they can put together long races for the GT World Championship, why can't they bring themselves to add endurance races to single player?

It's utterly baffling when many influencers are praising how fun the Spa and Fuji races have been.
I believe PD did that in GT League. They added events from the World Tour, so players that didn't participate, could experience what it was like. More of that would make sense.
I mean, i wouldn't want to see PD rotate offline races like the Daily Races. That would be like the LCD and UCD. Imagine waiting for the Spa and la Sarthe races to return after a month or two.

PD also did that in GT7 for the World Finals.

A whopping two races with one-time rewards that were scrubbed after a month.

What if there is never a real Gran Turismo?!

Nice vid. I wish PD gave us a more dynamic visual tire indicator thingee, a la how ACC does it. I’m all my testing I did for that round, I almost went with the 08’ NSX simply because it has less downforce and by virtue, much better tire wear. On a broader scale, it is frustrating that Polyphony has implemented very intricate tire and weather models that do truly affect performance, but for whatever reason, they’re hiding it from us.

GT7 really does have all the tools built in to be a “true sim” for us nerds, but they’re choosing to sell themselves short for whatever reason. I just hope these longer strategy races are here to stay.
 
Get PSVR2 instead & thank me later.

(I actually own a Series X and I will be getting FM, but come on man…)
Nahh just get Grid Legends for free this month that's what I did. Whenever I get bored with GT7 and GTA 5 online, I switch to that game. Very arcadey handling but much better than Grid 2019, in that game you did not need to brake for corners 😂, so I quit the game completely after 30 min. 15€ wasted ☠️.

Thanks man. The more things like this, the more I think ultimately a massive priority for PD is simplifying things so the game doesn't feel overwhelmingly complicated

But on the other side, they already add a tire outline for when you heat up a tire from spinning. I don’t think it’s too much to add a “dynamic outline” that doesn’t necessarily need to show actual temps, but displays a a glow of varying intensity the more your tire heats up. I mean, they already have the background data hard coded.

But I agree. It seems that PD is choosing simplicity over everything else. For better or worse..
 
Rally in GT, status KIA
As a possible compromise, I'd be fine with tarmac time attack stages, like the current iteration of Pikes Peak, the possible return of the Goodwood Hillclimb, or other stuff like the Circuito de la Sierra. Maybe even the Isle of Man circuit, since we already have that Subaru.

I don't really like all that mess in my video games, I tried F1 manager and it gave me a headache and im an engineer by day, and the weather model is kind of pointless to me unless there is some type of FIA style endurance race like from GT5. And after watching a ton a racing this year im totally happy with my "simcade" Gran turismo experience...also and the way Verstappen trashed Rfactor after the massive 24 lemans fail this year...it doesn't sound fun more like a job to take part in simulators. I can see why Lewis hates using them

Giulia Sprint GTA, SEMA Maverick, and the mysterious R32.
The R32 does not appear to be Gr.A racecar, at least from what I have seen of the interior and wheels.
Some people have theorized that it might be a Nismo...
 
R32 on right confuses me. We got one ingame already and this isnt a group a racecar cause it has passenger seat. So i guess just nismo version or something like that. Seems like its got a big wing and gtr grille so cant be non GTR version either

Oh ok, I see it now. The horizotal crease starting from the front wheel arch is clearly R32... In that case it might be the Nismo S-tune?! This fuels my hope the R34 R-tune will come to GT7 eventually :)
