I truly, sincerely do not understand why these chili pepper races aren't the standard. Why is PD insistent on this boring chase the rabbit format? If they're too hard for some, PD put difficulty options in the settings. I got humiliated at the new Clubman plus race at Fuji but, unlike 95% of races in this game, I want to try again because the AI was competitive and close. I had fun against the AI 😱.
 
One question: Are payouts of the new races any good? Is there any race brought by the update where you can grind decently?

People complain when it's too hard. Casuals especially

Man that LFA sounds soo good, and its fun to drive. The rest of the update is also very good. Improvements like the increased custom race payments make the game so much better. I can now play more custom races without having to grind all the time to get a car on time. Also love the other cars aswel. Overall the best update by far for this game.
 
Question: Has split screen been fixed? Ik the 4-player mode has been added but Player 2 always seemed to have a handicap so I was wondering if thatd been sorted now

As noted in our update article, the issue with 2P Split Screen has been removed from Known Issues. Haven't had time to test it though.
 
During the trailer, there's a quick tandem of three cars snaking through traffic. Has anyone seen a feature for that?

Not that much of a traffic, it's just slow cars pretending to be traffic
You can do a similar thing by buying a bunch of cars u can see on the roads, placing license plates on them, restricting power and adding all the weight
Then you create a custom race with those cars and here you go, "traffic"

Oh thank god. Tried to play split screen with my dad a few months ago and we just gave up bcs he couldnt change any of the assists
 
What is the meaning of the emoji shown in top of the sophy cars?
 
The opening movie is more difficult to enjoy. The first part in black and white is fine (and my favorite part), but the new gameplay section is more of a rough cut and less polished. Lot of camera shake and the action moves across the screen too much, making it harder to focus on the action. By the time my eyes lock on to the action, it switches to a new scene where the action is in a different location. Maybe my TV is too big?

Can't disconfirm the tv thing because I play on a projector. But, I agree 100%. It didn't seem as 'fine' or as polished as we've known PD to be. They seemed to have gone for intensity and hype rather than something smoother. Not quite my taste either.

Nah, what these cars(R33, FD, A80) are doing, we can’t do alone.


If that’s just showcasing multiplayer with AI traffic(regardless of the slow cars as traffic for this clip), cool. If it’s linking cars together by cruising(a la Forza), that’s something that may be in a future update.

My peak daily mileage before today was somewhere in the 400s. I just logged off from an on-and-off mega marathon with 670 miles in one day.

GT hasn't pulled me in this hard in a year.

I think maybe it's because the old one is in 30 fps so it feels more cinematic while the new one is 60 fps ?

This new update is a 9,5/10, slightly biased because LFA & me liking to do rallying and wanting a snow track at some point. But yeah lots of licence tests, weekly challenges gives more incentive to do something else than 1-3 money grind races per week. Lake Louise track is imo the best rally track GT has done ever, not unnecessarily long & many different types of corners, just overall a fun track. Yet to try some of the new cars, Tesla I won't try lol.

So yeah, looks like PD are on the right track finally after this update. Hopefully we get a similar vast update before Xmas, well probably not a new track, but like some QOL improvements & 5-6 cars and fun events for Xmas. Better be a Lake Louise TT in December, or else.. 😈😄
 
Of all the content added in this update, the second car I was not interested in was the Tesla. (Sorry, I am not a 911 fan).

However, this car is the least expensive of the cars added in this update, so I bought it while I was at it.
And I now drive only this EV, not the Charger, Challenger or 190E.

The reason is simple. This car is the most balanced EV currently available in this game.

It's not a too slow and useless EV like the BMW microcar or the Tesla Model S.
And not too fast like the insane VGT.

PP600. fits the class I most often prefer, and unlike the Model S, it is AWD, so it has great stability.
Perhaps this car is not as fast as the ICE and Porsche Taycan in the same PP. But it is easy and fun to drive. It is a good car.

And best of all, it's inexpensive; the cost to use it under the PP600 rules is also inexpensive.

The only drawbacks to this car are that management has messed up the twitter and its not very attractive design.
But I for one found some enjoyment in its design.
The flat bumper on this car makes a good canvas for us to have fun doing various unique and strange paint jobs. For example, like this...

You can make it yourself.

In Custom race use custom garage and select slow traffic cars with comfort tires as your opponents + maximum spread rolling start. You can also give them lowest difficulty, they act pretty much like traffic then.

Yeah but they're still taking racing lines aren't they ?
 
Cooled down a bit on the new update.

Would have vastly preferred a road track instead of a rally track and I feel when you drop 7 cars, one of them could be an actual race car - personal preference, I know.

Sophy is nice, but still pretty half baked.
When your new AI can’t drive all tracks, all cars and only does 3 laps in a separate mode, calling it 2.0 is a stretch. IMO it should be a 0.something, indicating it’s still in BETA.

The weekly challenges are appreciated, but are not challenging at all. In this state it’s more like a chore you have to knock out every week.

No enhancements to the VR experience is a bummer - please give us a better hud.

The QOL updates are great and GT7 is certainly a better game today than it was 2 days ago, but still…

Not complaining. Just my 2 cents.

Bring on the poo emojis.
