Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Destroy321]

Weirdly enough there's now a chequered flag in place of the "airport", and the radio-broadcast-bus-thing is totally absent as well
Also the coliseum was moved from the FIA trophy logo to the new chequered flag, and was replaced by a glass structure

I think the broadcast icon from the old version has been replaced with the GT Live banner in the upper right corner of the new version.
Both the airport icon and the checkered flag icon are thought to refer to career mode races, and I think the contents are the same.

VITZ

We need the Pitz.

"Add to wishlist" pretty much confirms the purpose of it.

 

[Islaygaz]

I really hope the daily workout is implemented better. I’d like it to give more than just cars - maybe aero parts? Of it is only cars, then I hope it’s based on your level.

So much GT4 vibes, i hope the background change colours as it did in GT4 arcade mode, along with changing the shadows position.

Are these screens the first time we've seen "Collector level"?

 

[gthelmi2398]

I can not remember see it before

 

[Nigrick]

Are these screens the first time we've seen "Collector level"?

yes, I believe so.

 

[alex511]

yes, I believe so.

Where these pictures taken from?

this is from that article that was posted earlier. The image was hidden in the header.

-where's the airport???

I think aeroplanes were a bit too ambitious for kaz

What would "Colour 35" refer to here?
Would that mean that a car has a certain amount of colour options (in this case over 35) and this is just the 35th in the list?

It would actually refer to the number of default colors and/or liveries for a specific car.

Are my eyes deceiving me or did they already demonstrate ray tracing technology 4 months ago?

The difference in frame rate and the quality of reflection details can be seen between the previous in-game image High Speed Ring and this one Trial Mountain. I think there will be 60fps without ray tracing and 30fps ray tracing options.

Daily Workout? i hope not the roulette gift car again

 

[YRS2703]

That's what I was referring to... still, a bit weird to implement it like that IMO

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I do hope they change the daily workout gifts to a random choice of 3 things that players can choose.

Something like a tuning part for your current car, paint chip for the livery editor, free car worth under 250,000 credits as examples.

 

[gthelmi2398]

A tuning part beside tyres would be fine. Plus the option to change it with cash, like Forza Horizon Wheel.

 

[Auditore]

I wonder what is the wish list option in the right corner? I have no idea what could it be... Wish list of cars? Events?

that michelin mascot is staring at my soul

I hope the licenses are hard to gold again. I miss the times of spending over an hour trying to gold a single test - felt like you really earnt it when you got the reward car at the end of it.

Far out!! I kid you not I have been playing GT3 especially the licensing!!

Its hard as I remember im really struggling to even get gold. Most of the time I can only get a few golds but most turn out silver.

Licenses were hard but it made the push for extra seconds to get gold worth it.

Full lap events don't need to be licenses though, they can just make Time Trial events, they're the same thing. Real licenses aren't about beating a certain lap time but it seems PD insist on sticking with the exact same format yet again instead of changing things up.

 

[warp9engage]

The issue with licenses, in older games, was that some of them required literal perfection for gold, generating massive frustration due to the tiniest of mistakes, because you knew your run was done for. It's one example of "Perfect is the enemy of good".

Agreed. Bronze or silver should also be a prerequisite to enter the ranked races imo.

 

[TheCracker]

but it seems PD insist on sticking with the exact same format yet again instead of changing things up.

I see that as part of the charm of Gran Turismo, along with keeping the classic tracks and including race series like Sunday Cup etc. Stuff like this keeps the essence of GT. It would be easy enough for PD to do everything new for each subsequent version, but i like that homely feeling of something familiar. Being able to regularly add new stuff via DLC means you can keep the old as well as invent fresh content. GT Sport kept the Licence Tests as previously but also added the similar Circuit Experience. Licence Tests in GT are nothing like an ARDS Racing Licence Test (in the UK) but they have a level of subjectivity that you'll never replicate in a game. I'm happy for PD to keep the name just for tradition even if it doesn't really replicate real life.

You can keep the charm and essence of a game without just straight up copy/pasting everything though. There are countless franchises out there that have evolved massively over their timeline but still retaining their charm and quirks. Metal Gear Solid 5, for example, very different to MGS1 with the switch to open world, mission structure, etc. But it keeps the smaller quirks like cardboard boxes, stealth camo and the humour style.

GT should absolutely retain the things that make it GT, like menu style, the jazzy music, the small quirks like car wash, but for me it is in desperate need of an overhaul of the core gameplay.

Unfortunately for me it's been clear since announcement really that GT7 is not going to provide that, it's just going to be, on the whole, GT1-6 repackaged yet again. Well, maybe the broadcast tonight will prove me wrong and show off some real innovation and freshness but I rather doubt it.

GT5 changed a lot of things compared to GT4, and its still very charming

Also from the newest build, a small detail: the PP system goes up in 0.5 increments

It was actually the copy/paste aspects of GTs 1-5 that always irked me more than anything, but now we have regular free DLC i know that the game content you buy at launch isn't the game content you end up with three years later. I'm happy for the old stuff to remain largely untouched as long as there's new stuff too.
