After seeing this scene in the Gran Turismo movie.
I thought that GT3 rs would definitely be in the game.

it says that it's a "Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91", but i can't see the wing, strange...

Yeah I thought of that too.
Always seen that car with a rear wing.
Is there a wingless version of this car? Cause I dont remember ever seeing one.
Its probably just darkened and cant see it in the silhouettes.

I predict that the 400R and '68 Charger will be in Legend Cars, the 190E in Used Cars, the LFA in both Brand Central and Used Cars, everything else in Brand Central
 
Yes! I knew they would be going to be dropped today, let's go! My intuition rarely fails 😎:cheers:
 
Big hopes when Kaz wrote „big update“.
Hoping so much for at least one new track and new singleplayer content would be so important.
With the cars it’s all fine but it doesn’t matter so much for me at this point.
 
Just give us 1 new track, full implementation of Sophy AI and a new set of endurance missions and this will going to be an amazing update, if not the best yet. It would be nailing!

Now there'll be all generations of the 911 there.

ALL GENERATIONS!! Who even expected it back in 6 years ago!?
Click to expand...
Yes, but I would really love them to add the Ur-911 from the sixties, as the 2.7 RS is really late into the first generation

I don't want endurance MISSIONS, I want endurance RACES.

Well, they will surely going to be missions (see Human Comedy in the April 2022 update). I would like to have endurance proper races and not missions, but I don't think it would be realistic. I can see why PD decided to thrat those as secondary missions. However, we got 1 endurance race on World Circuit outside of the Human Comedy, so we never know!

how dare people get excited about content being added to a game! We should all dismiss this information and just sit and sulk until update notes are released!

Imagine getting excited for content we should have had when the game released.

It's like buying bread and each month you get 1 slice.

GT7 is already 2 years old and what did we get for "added" content? 2 new tracks and a different layout from an ingame track?

I'm sorry. I guess i'm still so disappointed with GT7. This game could be so much more, especially with singleplayer content.

The game offered a lot and was released with a good bunch of tracks.
I agree that the game has it’s flaws and would have so much more potential but I don’t get the main point of your post.

This is your opinion and to be honest… stupid, this sentiment can just be rinse and repeated across any game, Forza should of had this, ACC that blah blah we get it, your personalised high expectations weren’t met so you’re going to complain, congrats…

The game didn’t launch as a single slice of bread, and have one added every month.
We got an entire bakery but your negativity made you expect the bakery and a 5 star Michelin restaurant when none of that was promised.

Actually it’s 3 tracks, Watkins glen, Grand Valley and Road Atlanta but that’s excluding other tracks and their variations like the ralycross from catalunya, then we had features added:
  • Added wind direction and wind-speed indicators
  • Added a [Broadcast Mode] option
  • A "New" label is now displayed for new & legend cars available to buy that day
  • Added renting Event-Specified Cars
  • Added event and race details before each race
  • Online Time trials added
  • Extra Menu's introduced
  • Race shop added to pre race menu
  • 'Car Valuation Service' feature has been added
  • Qualifying and Grid Start features have been added to Lobby
  • VR support
  • Drift mode in scapes
  • Support for 120 Hz Output and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) have been added
  • Keyboard Camera Switching Feature has been added to the Lobby races
  • Ultimate parts added to Tuning shop
  • Purchasable Engine swaps added
  • End of season rewards for participating in the Manufacturers/Nations cup
  • New sales category has been added called Special Picks
You could go through the updates here and find some others I missed.

No need to be sorry but maybe let others be positive and enjoy the hype of an update,
Maybe just wallow in your negativity elsewhere.

Ps we still don’t know what else the update will bring, and it’s ok to be hyped about that too

Why do I count 3 new tracks? Two of them completely new to the series. That's pretty good as far as free updates go, this sort of content takes time to produce.
 
I like how this batch of cars fleshes out several things.

Every generation of Porsche 911 now represented. V10 competition between Lexus LFA and Porsche Carrera GT. Group A rivalry between Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo, BMW M3 Evo and Ford Sierra Cosworth. Dodge Charger R/T fills a gap between the classic muscle cars. Dodge Challenger SRT Demon joins the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R. NISMO 400R joins the R32 NISMO. Tesla Model 3 joins the Model S.

Yes i am negative. If you compare GT7's content today with what we had back with GT3/4/5 then GT7 is severely behind.

Most features mentioned should have been in the game upon release. Still, it's good that they are added!

For the new tracks i wasn't sure if we got 2 or 3 :)

To be clear: i really hope this update brings more singleplayer content. And to be bold and express my "own" expectations: i want full endurance races (4hr/9/12 and 24hrs). On top of that: i want them be so when you race again, you can earn the credits for that specific race again. I really don't know why endurance races are not in the game except for those missions.

Different league races would also be fantastic!

A new track or maybe even 2 new tracks would be welcome.

What about monthly or seasonal races?
 
Such an interesting use of the phrase "big update". The last time Yamauchi specifically said "big update" (although he said "big updates" and there were dozens of pages on what the "s" meant) was February 2023 for the GV/Sophy/VR update:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.29 is Now Available, Adds Grand Valley, GT Sophy, and PSVR2 Support

The most significant update in the 12-month life of Gran Turismo 7 is now available, with v1.29 bringing some revolutionary features and plenty of new content that includes an old friend of the series. It's a big update, at 7.3GB on PlayStation 5 and 7.6GB on PlayStation 4, with the somewhat bulk

Prior to that, GTPlanet was among the outlets invited to try out both of the big features before they arrived, with our coverage for both under an embargo.

Even though PSVR2 was known, it was under embargo until February 2nd; @Jordan went to San Mateo for it on January 31st:

Gran Turismo Sophy Arrives in GT7 Update 1.29: Hands-On First Impressions

https://youtu.be/aP4ye1NAJLY Gran Turismo 7’s February 2023 update includes the public debut of GT Sophy: a new artificial intelligence that you can compete against in a free “Race Together” special event. I had the chance to preview the new Sophy races at PlayStation’s North American headqu

That meant, obviously, we knew both of these things were coming - we'd tried them out - and when, but they were under embargo; we had the precise information but legally could not share it. I'm not actually aware of any journo or outlet being sued for breaking an embargo, but it is nonetheless a breach of contract and - best-case - gets you dropped off the list for future previews.

While it's fun reading back the articles I wrote about 1.29 with the knowledge that I already knew what was in the update but couldn't say what it was, Sony PR would also have been reading the articles at the time knowing that, so clearly I wasn't four wheels over the white lines :lol:


Of course, this is the benefit and curse of being media: we can't always tell you all we know.

It's also a benefit and a curse of managing a community, where a single "s" can lead to dozens of pages of speculation, sometimes bitter and quite coarse. Coming here, seeing that, and you know but can't share the facts - and can't share that you know the facts either - no matter how beneficial it would be to the community, is often frustrating.
 
I'd honestly take a whole year of no car additions if it meant they could put the time in to actually solving this games main issues.
The LFA and EVO seem to be the most hyped cars for this update...and they're just returning models. The rest? Yet another 911, yet another tuned Skyline (which is also returning), some more muscle cars, and a silent battery box.
And I'm supposed to do what with them exactly, the same damn grinding events I've done non-stop for the last year? Oh and maybe throw a Spa attempt in there now and then. This game is absolutely desolate when it comes to end game singleplayer content, adding cars is not even close to a "fix" or a "win"; it's the absolute bare minimum. We need so many things changed, and the direction we seem to be heading in of just "new cars new scapes bye" makes me think it's just never happening. I hope Sony realizes this was a miserably failed experiment.

This meaning that you are under embargo at the moment, thank you for letting us know. ;-)

Heh, I knew that was coming; after all, we got dozens of pages for a single "s", as noted above...


Apropos of previews for 1.29, we didn't get read into Grand Valley even though we had previews of VR2 & Sophy - it came as quite the surprise when it appeared on the PS/GT Blog posts - so... maybe there's a new track? Would fit with the TBDs in the GTWS schedule, although I'm not sure that'd be "big" enough for the expectations set by - among other things - 1.29.

Again, I only hope they can live up to this expectation because we've seen previously what happens here when they don't. It's never fun watching people hype themselves up into a frenzy and then explosively unravel when their expectations aren't met, and we have to deal with the aftermath. Or at least we do on here; Reddit's always like that.

I'm really happy to see someone with the same thoughts that i have.
New cars is always a win but those updates are just standard.
I get that people are excited for the cars in the next update, i am too.
But "big" update is relative. 7 cars instead of 5...

I just hope the rest of the update is not a single new (small) track and that's it.
