Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[MrNukki]

Huh, a Spec II update... Color me surprised, I didn't expect it to be this content rich! A snowval track!! Sophy yet again! Weekly challenges! Wow!

Now, I'm hoping the patch notes will reveal even more, much needed QoL updates!

 

[DS13_supergt]

From what I understand its only new master difficulty level on older licenses

Nope, it's new licences levels

 

[AlexOnTheFly]

Nice update for sure but I still want that city like menu they showed in the first trailer for GT7 xD

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Well, this isn't how I expected my home country to get added into the game after the Gilles Vil fiasco 😅. Looking forward to being back in the rockies again.

I am hoping that sophy isn't just limited to these new events and that we can race against it during custom races too!

That 190E has me froathin' 😬

 

[adrs2k]

Snow track is hugely disappointing.

 

[kowalski__1]

3 track variations in the snow, at night,How Canadian,lol...looks good...

 

[StealthVel]

Has no one talked about the sound of that LFA yet?

 

[MroczMR]

BTW. Are there more detailed information how sophy is implemented?

 

[Famine]

OK, I ignoreed this so far 'cause we didn't know if it would be implemented but now I have to ask:

What exactly is Sophy? A replacement for the current AI? An additional, optional AI? Something else?

Kind of all three. I doubt we'll see it fully replace the AI in GT7's lifetime though.

 

[StealthVel]

I would have been surprised if Sophy was fully implemented in GT7. Seems like they still have some work to do to get it fully ready, and it would make a hell of a marketing statement for GT8. I imagine reading it on the back of the box, "the world's most advanced adaptive AI in racing games"

Talk about tunnel vision

Thanks for the answer but that's very vague also. So it's just a new difficulty level? I checked YouTube and that's the impression I got from the test a few months ago. Looks like it was just in Sport Mode then, hope it will be implemented for all races now.

 

[Doncarlone]

Kinda dissapointment with the snow track. The rest is looking great.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Sport Mode.

Sophy is a new AI, trained by machine learning and selected for behavioural traits rather than programmed manually.

Here's everything we've ever written about Sophy:

It's (as of tomorrow) an option in Quick Race (renamed from Arcade Race), which now appears next to events with it's own tile. Sophy is available for 9 courses which support it.

All Quick Races are short races against 19 AIs of a similar spec to your currently selected car.

Sophy cannot be selected anywhere else (ie. no custom races, replacing regular AI in the preset events, etc).

 

[I-M-Pulsive]

Now the next question is. Is this snow track a hint towards Pikes Peak?

 

[adrs2k]

Talk about tunnel vision

Haha yeah. Never saw it coming, not a fan of rally, and after so many rumors of other tracks its disappointing as that is not what was expected. Oh well! Rest of the update should be stellar though.

 

[GTboyz]

Well I guess now we know why Kaz chose to cameo as a chef in the movie.

Thank you! Now that sounds nice!

BTW: I never clicked on "Arcade Race" 'cause I always thought it's the same races just with more arcady physics😂

 

[adrs2k]

3 lap races against Sophy?

 

[Islaygaz]

Help me guys,I have PS4. Players will get all the additions, except gtsophy right?

And 4 player split screen

He cooked up a storm. That way, Kaz has really got his mise en place together.

where did you find the first screenshot?

 

[Bendough]

I’m assuming the WTC 900 events are going to be Gr2 races, right? It was about time for those! 10/10 update for me. Now I’m just hoping they added an XJR-9 engine swap into the XJ220. Can’t wait for tomorrow

 

[antispaghetti]

The hype was well worth it! Thank You Kazzzzzzzzzzz Chef! Call me crazy but I actually took a cabin bag just enough to fit a Ps5 inside and enjoy update tomorrow while I am visiting my parents hahah. I even plugged it inside a train and it worked. lol

Gran Turismo 7 update with SPEC II 1.40 arrives today – new cars, track, and features

7 new cars, introduction of Lake Louise snow courses, 50 new license tests, 4-player split screen races, custom events, and more.

PS Blog has additional details not in the GT7 notes. Also, the Japanese version of the GT7 notes has some details that aren't in the worldwide version too. (They're not that exciting, so I won't waste time showing them. Just giving a pointer if you wanna spend your hyped time scrolling through more text. )

Mine will be here in a couple of weeks. Mobile GT !!

 

[GBalao888]

That's not happening, sadly. It will still be the same old island like what we have now.

 

[Islaygaz]

For those that are disappointed that Sophy is only available at 9 tracks in quick race just bear in mind the following paragraph from the update article

This feels (to me at least) the next phase in Sophys implementation into the game! I’m sure in time Sophy will feature more and more!

City menus take 6 times as long to create vs normal ones.
