BTW, with the Ghost of Tsushima PC port revel, GT7 is now the only remaining PlayStation title from the original leak, not yet announced. The most interesting part of this for me is there's only a 2 month gap from announcement to release. Yet these ports probably take a good 12 months or more.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is coming to PC on May 16

Nixxes and Sucker Punch reveal PC features and pre-purchase details.

I'll admit, I've been a sceptic on the possibility of a PC port, but it's starting to feel inevitable at this point with how accurate that leak has been now.
 
If anything the PC port is holding back ps5 content.

I can't see 16 cars grids on PC. Surely PD will increase it to 20 right? Right?

Hopefully it comes a big quicker than the GoT port or you’ll be waiting another couple of years

When it comes to more endurances, especially including the 24h ones that PD mentioned shortly after launch, I'd love to see a mix of ones that pay tribute to endurances from older games like the Grand Valley 300km as well as real ones like the LM24, but I'd also like to see new endurances altogether.

One idea I had was a PP-limited event at Le Mans, specifically the layout without the chicanes, featuring historic sports prototypes that don't go into any particular group. I'm referring to racers like the Porsche 917K and the Ford Mark IV, even if they didn't necessarily race against each other in real life. Or perhaps even if they didn't race at all, like the Jaguar XJ13. Then again, it may be better to have more "inclusive" regulations that'd potentially include more than just four cars at most. But that's where PD-created liveries for the AI could be especially useful, as being limited to four models didn't prevent the Super Formula events from existing, no?

This is where the game frustrates me. They have just about everything already built into the game to make the game next level yet they choose not to. Sure we do have custom races for most of this stuff which i use regularly...but making it a core part of the actual game would have been ideal and a nice feature.

Gt sport teased endurance racing…so yeah i am also on the why isnt this in the game on somewhat a better level.

Tbh I still would rather see 8-24 hour racing incorporated in the GT World Series with 12-20 driving teams and run it on a LAN. Would be cool to see how teams use weather radar and pit strategy

how is this car not in this game ?..........do the makers/PD have to pay Manufacturers such as Ford to portray any of their cars ?

That's typically how it works. To use someone else's content you need obtain agreement, i.e. a license to do so, that usually means paying a fee.

It's not the same for all manufacturers, but there will usually be an agreement to include specific cars or cars from a certain model range. Manufacturers may have specific cars which they want to be included.

TVR are in GT7, albeit with only one model. It'd be nice to get a few more in there.

Yes I know of the ONE car but we had I believe 5 others in GT4 and others I think, all held back by licensing...

With you mentioning them in the same vein as Lotus, who are entirely absent, that wasn't clear. But no big deal.

I too would like more, especially 90's and early 2000's models, but licensing may be an issue given the state of the company now. But I'd have thought that TVR would have wanted the new Griffith to be included. Apparently not.

The bad thing over licensing is like in the Lotus example, not only would it h hold back any new cars from Lotus but also it's historical cars like the 25, 35, 49, Europa, Elan, etc...

HFW comes to PC March 21st, another port from Nixxes. That title released a month before GT7.

What's notable is this is the Complete Edition, so perhaps GT7 will only come to PC when all DLC has been released.

Another option is to release on PC and PS5 Pro concurrently - taking advantage of the improved hardware.

Increasing grids to 20 could be a PS5, PS5 Pro, PC only feature.

I do wonder if PD themselves would do a PC port - Nixxes are cranking them out regularly - which suggest they're getting on top of the porting process.
 
I been thinking what do you think is the reason for the 2K garage limit?

PS5 not strong enough?
Ps4 Version?

What if the game is ported to PC will there still be a 2k garage limit.
And last will the ps5 pro help in a garage increase.

The race cars I see the most quoted here are :

  • Toyota TS020
  • Toyota 88C
  • Bentley Speed 8
  • Bentley Continental GT3
  • Ferrari 288 GT3
  • Ferrari 296 GT3
  • Ferrari 499P
  • Porsche 963
  • Porsche 911 GT1
  • Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak

Road cars are a more difficult task. We have a shorter list of datamined cars now but they are still a bunch. Other than that, the Corvette C5 could be a nice addition and would fit Pody's aim to fill the gaps here and there.

I have a feeling it's gonna be the R390 or GT-ONE due to them stating that it's something that most will be pleased with and those along with the Castrol NSX have been asked for quite alot. If it's the 88C i'd be very shocked seeing as the last time I saw a semi-recent photo of it it looked basically gutted but since the Escudo supposedly doesn't exist anymore as an actual full car IRL they could still recreate it using official photos and the shape of the car itself since it still exists. The newer ones aren't unlikely but i've heard that supposedly the Hypercar licensing is pretty strict but not sure how true that is; the Bentley Speed 8 was a premium in GT6 so that one isn't impossible.

Aren't Lotus (and Volvo for that matter) owned by a Chinese OEM? You can't even pick Chinese as a nationality in the game, I assumed PD or Sony had some kind of beef with China (or the other way round) which would make it difficult for them to licence Chinese owned brands. This is entirely supposition on my part. :D

It has nothing to do with Geely taking over, despite who owns who. The marketing team of each car brand typically decides on licensing deals, not the company owning them always. Like how the licensing of Porsches and VWs are likely not the same price despite being under the same brand umbrella.

With that said, the brand issue is because Lotus felt short-shafted on the money PD was giving them for their brand in the past compared to other brands like Mclaren and Aston Martin. PD however doesn't agree and thus won't fork over the money Lotus now is charging them for licensing fees.

I think it is only an arbitrary limit, both PS4 and 5 would have no issues with even an unlimited garage, it is only a list of items with thumbnails. I guess, as when at first they released the game with a 20M Cr. cap, they thought it will be enough.

If a number high enough of players reach this 2k car cap, they might increase the limit.
