anticipates a track showing up in the trailer
trailer is 30 seconds
opening text starts typing at an incredibly slow pace..
Oh well, maybe next time

Edit: looks like we got the Jimny Cup after all - our first one make event in the game? (excluding the time-locked special events)

 

[jontikis]

No? It's in brand central.

Okay fine thanks

 

[Confus]

Time for everyone to be mad for no reason again.

I think there's perfectly reason to be mad about this update.

No track aside, it makes no sense to advertise the Bulgari VGT when 99.9% of the players won't get to drive it right away...then you're left with just two cars.

We don't have the patch notes yet, but looking at the post on Gran Turismo's website, the update only has these two cars, Extra Menus, and Scapes updates.

There is a reason this time:

They not only added 3 cars after 3 months, but one of them will be hold an entire month unless you buy a 5K dollars watch😑

 

[Clinton Ducks]

So it’s literally just those 3 cars? No new events or anything or would they not put that in the trailer?

There are new events, but they don't show those in the trailers. I mean they didn't even put the weekly challenges feature in the Spec 2 trailer oddly.

There's Jimny Cup and VGT Trophy races, with five races overall.

There are 2 new car menus, new VGT event nd new championship (3 races)with the Jimny, but the Bulgari will be available until february unless you buy the watch🤣🤣🤣

Your response to "10.65% of cars in the game being VGTs is sad" is that it doesn't affect the game, by showing that 15.25% of cars added to the game since release are VGTs? That's an even higher rate of VGTs.

ok but VGT's are not taking up slots of other cars that could of been brought into the game so the rate of VGT's is increasing

No VGT is taking the place of a real car you could have had instead. It's taking the place of... nothing.

so again why sad? what's the issue

 

[Famine]

Time for everyone to be mad for no reason again.

When people get far enough in to read that there's actually only two cars for now...

 

[AutumnalGlow]

I don't really care that much about VGTs either way, but you do realize that this makes no sense? The modelers need to put their work into a VGT instead of a real car. Whether you want the VGT or not is irrelevant, it is work put into a VGT that could have been put into anything else.

For people who don't like VGTs, this is a bad thing.

Do you own a Bvlgari watch by any chance?

Engine swaps is my only hope now

Most of the time I don't get upset with updates but this is kinda shiesty. Why advertise a car that is not available to the majority of the player base. Oh well it is what it is.

 

[Vitesh Patel]

All of this just stinks of PD not understanding what made Spec 2.0 such a good update. It was the slew of new races they added.

Especially with the Clubman Plus ones and the Chilli races which were actually challenging...

I'm not mad, just disappointed

You should read the post from Famine really, it's not taking away time on putting efforts else where.
The conundrum of licensing is really the what the issue on the car's people want and not being worked on

Imagine getting FOMO'd into buying a $4.8k watch for a virtual car.

That's that Bvlgari brilliance.

52/488 cars in the Game are VGT's, 10.65% to be increased to 11% if the Genesis is just the one version ie. no race version as spotted in the background of the video trailer.

Just to note a lot of the VGT's have been carried over from GT Sport and GT6 & are made by the manufacturers, so that haven't taken away from PD making other cars

Any asset carried over from older GT iterations or created from scratch takes up a given amount of PD's ressources. Obviously, using CAD data gives a head start to scanning a physical car, but implementing anything into the game is a process probaby handled by the developer and not the manufacturers.

None of the VGT making of videos I watched show the steps beyond the manufacturers design process and I couldn't find anything about how much ressources are needed by PD to make such assets game ready. But assuming PD invests no ressources at all seems far fetched to me.

what's really far fetched is the idea that certain cars could rather be worked on when PD clearly don't have the license for them

 

[Talon16]

Well, at least we don't have to worry about that watch-car being the last Nations car.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

What makes you think they don't have licenses that they aren't using? Heard of Pikes Peak?

Regardless, they definitely could get licenses instead of working on VGTs.

I get that they're not going anywhere, it's fine, but these arguments for why they don't affect anything or they can't do anything else are very weak.

25 laps on rainy nordschleife at night with the Jimny incoming🤭🤭

What does licensing have to do with anything that I wrote?

It's also a completely free update.

 

[TumeK5]

It's also a completely free update.

Is it, though? The Bulgari is marked as being part of it, and you cannot get it for free in January.

 

[GTP_reddevil]

It's also a completely free update.

As was every other GT7 update and the vast majority weren’t greatly received either.

According to Kazunori Yamauchi they can do 60 cars a year.

According to GT7's actual updates, they're doing 33 cars a year. Well, almost: another three cars in February would make it exactly 35 a year.

The assumption that they could be doing something else but that the the Vision GTs (or any other car people don't like; it's VGTs this month) are taking up so much capacity that they simply can't do anything else is flawed.

I think no matter how it's framed, it's still resources put into a VGT instead of something else, even if they could have been swapped with any of the other cars that are being stored away for GT8, they would have just been added to GT8 instead.

I don't care either way. I don't have an issue with VGTs existing. My original point was just that "them being 10% of cars isn't bad, they're only 15% of added cars" was a bad way of making the 10% sound any better to someone who does dislike VGTs.
