As someone who loved GTS the only two improvements I was looking forward to in GT7 was improved physics and better FFB. Sadly, I feel like both will be largely unchanged. Not that excited until I see and hear more.

 

[GTboyz]

As someone who completely skipped GT6 and GTS, I'm seriously excited for this. I do admit I'm blinded by nostalgia though and all the negative points some people mentioned here are valid. I do wish GT7 is PS5 only but I guess GTS was GT7 Prologue all along and that GT8 would be the really brand new hot stuff.

March 2022 is a surprise, I just hope I could get a PS5 before then.

 

[ArR29]

Happy for all you guys who are happy with all the fluff, but I have to say: The actual ingame driving footage looked boring as... No immersion at all with that static cam. I yawned.

PD has never been flashy. They prefer a more bland look, it's obvious that's a design choice. Personally, I like it. They don't have to change anything or copy other games tbh.

 

[WJHMH]

Awesome, looking forward to it. I just hope it makes it's release date, maybe I'll have a PS5 buy then.

Re-watched the trailer in 0.25x speed and I finally figured out that the blurry yellow speck near the end was actually a S15 Silvia.

That Mercedes-Benz W194 at the rightmost poster is pretty nice too.

Nicceeee. One of my favorite JDM cars, along with the R31 Skyline

Did anyone ever point out that GTS has 60 layouts and 7 is boasting over 90 layouts? If they have 2 Daytona layouts, 2 HSR layouts (forwards and reverse) and 2 Trial Mountain (same deal) that's still 66 layouts. Whistle Snap's list could be very right as I personally added it up to be potentially just under 90. (Didn't count the test snow track or driving park, but I could be wrong here)

 

[ravaline]

What If instead of focusing on adding a lot of cars and tracks, they put all that effort into something else, something that they haven't shown yet. Like an immersive and strong campaign mode, with a lot of details and strong AI... Quality over quantity.
With gt sport their focus was online, FIA.... what if this time they improved the Campaign mode and they will talk about these features in the coming months...
At this point I'm most likely wrong but hey kaz if you're reading this, you either deliver or I'm buying forza 😤

 

[Shingo_civic]

positive: great its march, thought will be late 2022, like trailer (music, vibe), dynamic weather with wet percentage on ui
negative: graphic during gameplay (looks even worse with already underwhelming last year trailer), reading that 90 track configuration is not much better than we already have in gt sport ? disappointing, I expected we get basicaly gt sport (after last year trailer) + better singleplayer campaing and more content but now more content is not so sure. In the end quite hyped for march premiere, wonder when psvr2 support (hope this time full game in vr)

To me graphics seems nearly the same as in the past trailer (actually the trial mountain tunnel has been improved in the last trailer)

 

[CodeRedR51]

My immediate thoughts (UI looks very similar but I think the wet indicator at Tsukuba is very important). Still waiting on grid sizes and potential diver swaps!

Online driver swaps would be the icing on the cake for me.

 

[Veinz]

Edit; nvm

This. AI is number one for me. We already know the graphics will be outstanding. Sound in GT Sport was good but could be improved further, likewise with the physics. But solid AI would really broaden the appeal of GT7 and add a lot of depth and appeal to the career mode

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I haven't played Gran Turismo since GT5 and this looks pretty good. I look forward to the release.

yeah probably but they chose in the newer trailer worse lightning conditions, its basicaly just gt sport graphicaly

new trailer

Yeah i agree it looks nearly identical to GTS, it's a shame really that we have to wait i don't know how many years for a proper technical showcase like it always used to be for a GT game

Ok now that I’ve been able to stop excitedly bouncing around my house all day and focus, I’m really intrigued with about the new window option in the livery editor.

If this is flexible enough it could potentially allow people to replicate their real world window stickering. The other thing I saw:

The “other” option logo looks suspiciously like a license plate, so I wonder if they’ll have customization options, and how deep they could go? In my case it’s possible I could literally create a 1:1 replica of my real life car, pending it being in GT7 (which is likely given the Toyota partnership), and if TRD spats/skirts are available as body options.

Then also circled in green - the “style” options? I’m not sure exactly what that means, but to me it seems to indicate you could save a visual “style”, I.e. base color, wheels, fitment, maybe minor (or major) livery designs, which you could then transpose to other cars in your garage in just a few button presses, rather than replicating each by hand? If that is what it is, and encompasses livery items, that could be an extremely useful function for quickly transposing motifs between different category race cars and their road going counterparts. Leagues and esports teams would probably get a lot of mileage out of it if I’m right.

 

[TorpDaTorpedo]

Im a little concerned why GT town was changed from the 2020 showcase. The original looked like gran turismo menu but the newest trailer looks like the sims…I hope you can change it around

 

[BigSarj]

In that top down view, where it looked like race car manager mode, am I the only one who noticed light snow falling from the sky? Or maybe it was a light drizzle.

Game looks good. I am praying for a significantly better AI, slightly better physics, and slightly better FFB. But my prayers rarely get answered.

So, uh, are pre-orders live yet? J/k, I ain't pre-ordering...yet.

 

[dimassa19]

i liked how the trailer referred to the first 4 GT games
well done PD

The scene of the Porsche 917 Concept spinning with the landscapes changing in the background and ending up in the pits is similar to the GT4's opening video.
I'm almost betting it will have ALL the original GT4 tracks (except the Driving Park complex).

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Here's what concerns me:

91mil credits for the TOM'S Supra. These races better have a good payout otherwise this will be a worse grind fest than GT Sport

Also:

970k credits for a low-rpm turbo??? Ouch.


Also:

In front of the R34 GT-R is the DTM Alfa Romeo 155 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️


In conclusion:

Jeep bois

These credit values are most definitely as per the Japanese version.

On the Jeep subject, can't wait to "throw" it around the ring 😅

I was not aware there were different credit values based on region. I thought the 91mil credit meant they did away with the 20mil cap and inflated the entire economy with a 100mil cap.


Also this will be us at the 'ring:

Gotta remember that as per usual, those are based on the Japanese Yen. It'll likely not be anywhere near as expensive for PAL and NTSC territories. Does however bring into question the Credit Limit for GT7, which is hopefully not the 20,000,000 we got resaddled with after GT6 and were forced to basically get it higher through a paywall. Still ain't a fan of that (Especially when all you got for beating these near impossible times was a slightly altered Mercedes Vision GT)

Yes, Japan has always been higher.

 

[praiano63]

Performance points "PP" seems to be back. Good point in my opinion , mainly to able to race road cars on a fair base.

 

[Lee x sensai]

This whole time you’ve literally complained about his opinion and now your saying it’s ok. Make up your mind. Or just get over it, there’s no rule stating how people need to take on information. If your happy that’s fine, if he’s not, that’s fine too. It’s not your position to worry about it and really, you’re blowing a bigger stink than anyone complaining, combined, because now your complaint about people’s opinions not aligning with yours while people are actually talking about the game.

I’m not forcing any his opinion what he should like or not like, I’m stating if you don’t like the game go wait for review. Make up your own mind if you want the game or not. At the end of day it his decision, it his choice. He could complain all he want but some people will disagree with him and no one will stop him from talk about the game. No one try force him to agree with everyone.

 

[Famine]

All values in Japanese versions of all Gran Turismo games are 100x higher than in any other version - prices and prize money.

Just divide by 100 - that turbo is 9,700cr.

 

[ArR29]

It looks damn good but not mind blowing good. I've seen people saying that it looks like GTSport, but is that really a bad thing? I'll take that as compliment, GTSport looks damn good already. They have to run this game on a decade old hardware, if they can push it even further with Dynamic TOD and weather at 60fps on PS4 that would be extremely impressive.

 

[Samus]

You could be disappointed all you want about the game but nobody is stoping you from keep doing it. You set yourself up and imagine the game be like in your own head and assume the game be different that never promise in the first places.

So let me see if I have this straight. When a company announces a future video game I'm not allowed to have any hopes and wishes for that game, and when the game is announced, any aspects of that game not expressly promised by the company beforehand I have no right in being upset about, because they didn't promise it? Have I got that right?

You heard that folks. Anyone hoping for better AI in GT7? If it doesn't come you can't complain, they didn't promise it. What's that, you're hoping they improve the physics? Sorry, they didn't promise that either.

Have you got the list of things they did promise Lee, so we can cross reference them and know what we can be disappointed about and what we can't?

Did anyone ever point out that GTS has 60 layouts and 7 is boasting over 90 layouts? If they have 2 Daytona layouts, 2 HSR layouts (forwards and reverse) and 2 Trial Mountain (same deal) that's still 66 layouts.

GTS as of today has 84 layouts.
