Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Chris30]

With PD being focused on the National TT's in Montreal and Championships they won't be doing an update for a while. Not this month!

 

[LammersXJR]

That's significantly more positive than I would have expected. They made a profit in a financial year where they didn't put a game out - in the current game development environment where studios are dying left and right even when they do put a game out, that is really good going.

Am I missing something here?

These accounts are for the running of the studio, not the performance of GT7. The title remains a consistent top 20 seller and will be generating tens of millions in profit. Those profits will be registered by Sony who are the publisher.

It will be july.

A live broadcast for a live audience on the next update better deliver or it will be cringe..

Hype!

I’m guessing it’ll just be Kaz introducing the typical update trailer in person! 🤣

 

[Doncarlone]

I assume something significant on the July update then?

July 6th is a saturday. The next thursdays will be july 11th and july 18th.
I pray to God its on july 11th, because i have 1.8M in credits expiring on july 12th and another 1M expiring on july 14th.

No?

Nice i expect a good update now considering they will showcase it next weekend, and if we had to wait 2 weeks longer than normal to get a larger update would be worth it, wonder if we see another sophy upgrade.

Question is those the update drop the same day as the live event, excited to watch it now.

Now i think a new track is very possible.

Maybe they just want a better audience for the GTWS but the update in itself won't be anything special.

Also, they may try to avoid any bug introduced by a new patch during the event by delaying it.

 

[LammersXJR]

No?

Pretty much every report and comment I’ve seen online about these accounts has been spun as terrible news. As if GT7 generated just £2m profit for the entire financial year.

People don’t seem to realise PD are an independent business within Sony Studios and revenue generated from GT7 is taken by the publisher.

No, I was the one missing something, my apologies.

Upon reflection it mostly just means that Sony are funding the studio accurately.

enjoy the update that’s coming 😊

Wait, what?

Was wondering the same. That's the first I've heard anything about credits having an expiry date.

 

[OldandSlow]

So... There will be rain on moon track?

A meteor shower.

I've only seen one in the flesh. Love it.

Tickets?

Been interacting with Will, who did the 2023 GTWS Showdown Manufactures Cup…I’m not sure it’s going to be good if he’s saying this. I initially said “This has to be something significant if it’s being unveiled at GTWS, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve surely in this update…DARE I dream and say some proper modern race cars at last?” Then he replied with the first reply…be your own judge.

No shocker that Whitelegge himself is already being a maungy doomposter on the internet. Next up you'll be telling me it's June 27th.

With a dance? 🤠
I hope that even he knows that with a stage like that 5 cars and 2 menus and one event will be lame.

We can hope for 4 menus!

 

[watto79]

Tickets?

How do you have tickets worth worth 1.8M credits and 1M credits though? If you do, just redeem the tickets and the credits are yours until you spend them.

Thanks mate that’s me…and if I wanna be a doomposter I will be. You want information? There it is, next time I won’t give it you and let you be disappointed there and then. Absolute 🔔🔚

Because my credits are maxed at 100M. Credits won through gameplay wont go above 100M.
So I hold the tickets won through out the month and wait for the new update.
When the new update comes, I buy all the new cars, parts and engine swaps available, and then pay for all of it with the tickets I was holding.
But the tickets expire after 1 month.

I have the information, I know what is coming - that is why it is extra funny to see you (hi!) doing this..... yet again!

I think fans of Gran Turismo are going to be very happy with the update.

I liked how he got so angry about being called out he went back to edit in an insult just to make sure we know how angry he is.

Emojis will do just fine. But cheers. Whatever this update is enjoy it everyone 😊

It's a racing game, not a banking simulator.

 

[PSN offapple]

It's best to go into this without any specific expectations, and just see what happens.
As difficult as that may be with a 9 day wait until the news, and speculation left and right.

No expectations means less chance of potentially being disappointed, and a higher chance of appreciating what we do get.
