Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

I do speak Spanish and after seeing lots of his videos, i came to the conclusion that he's just a troll, the worst thing is that people follow him non ironically. It's best to ignore him.

Yeah, a very strange way to troll

He gets a huge following because the console war in the Latin American/Iberian community is vicious, so the louder your voice and the more you troll on the other console, the better

Don’t pay attention to that guy

You should know that yourself. Have you checked PS Store? Is the option there? If not, then yes, you’ll have to wait for the release.

This is what happens when you’re too eager to pre-order things. Why not wait?

...if you ain't helpin', I don't see point in your post. For me, every single GT game is pre-order, simply because I like the games... now situation as it is currently with all hardware, not just consoles is another story.

I've seen on PSN FAQ that there is option for 10$ upgrade from PS4 to PS5 game, but there is none for GT7 currently! And as it stands, I'm not willing to go for refund just because of that, if there is an option to get the game upgraded...

I didn't know it was still 2006.

It's still 2006 according to some knuckleheads on Twitter using dumb insults like Xbots or Ponies. God, I hate that place.

 

[RedRockValley]

You'd be very surprised, people still get very passionate over their favourite games console...

Famitsu interview

――How did AI evolve in " GT7 "?

Yamauchi : I think AI is a part that is required to evolve forever. Compared to "Gran turismo SPORT", it is more aggressive and can run closer to the lap time set by humans. In addition, it is possible to act more accurately in complicated situations. There are various requirements such as competing with the player and not making the player feel uncomfortable, but we are evolving those parts. However, I don't think the status quo is perfect.

--About the difficulty setting. I understand that the design is friendly to beginners, but what are the considerations for hardcore users?

Yamauchi : In "GT7", you can choose from three difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced when you start the game. The initial setting is intermediate, but it may be a little unsatisfactory for those who have played the "GT" series so far. I hope that those who choose the advanced level.

Unfortunately there's no Road Runner logo on the side of the rear wing, though.

If there’s currently no option to purchase the upgrade, then it should become available at launch day

The only option I see is to cancel the PS4 version pre-order and pre-order the PS5 version

I had no clue warring was this intense in the Spanish community. I've never seen a channel this large with such a blatant selective bias before.

Yeah, that's a common thing in this series. I don't think PD or Sony want to pay the licensing fee from Warner Bros to have the Road Runner on the wing.

but hey, you probably could replicate the logo with the livery editor if you wanted.

This is actually goes way back to GT2. GT2 had the Road Runner in-game, but it was referred to as the "Plymouth Muscle Car" instead. Strangely, "Road Runner" does show up in the cars description.

Not only that, you can even recreate the livery of the King from the first Cars (circa 2006).

Yup. In addition to that, I think the Superbird logo included the "Muscle Car" name in it aswell.

Not only that, you can even recreate the livery of the King from the first Cars (circa 2006).

Yup, there's going to definately be a lot of those Dinoco paint schemes around and probably a lot of Richard Petty's paint schemes in addition. Though I hope people with the livery editor will actually focus on the other Superbird NASCAR paints too.

I kinda like the gold and red paint that was on Richard Brickhouse's car for instance.

Welp, there's probably going to be no modern NASCAR in GT7, but people could do a single spec race with the Superbird at least.

Gran Turismo 4 remake

Weirdly enough, the Castrol TOM'S Supra is in Gr. 3. I'm guessing the Pennzoil NISMO GT-R is also the same too. I guess Super GT/JGTC cars in the late 90s were almost like GT2-class cars in terms of pace?

How did you conclude that? The IGN Japan video had the old GT500 duo racing against the 2008/2016 GT500s, but the Viper GT3-R is also there which may make things murkier.


(I reverted your edit over the GT Wiki re: this for that reason)

[philipPF]

Not a huge fan of those camera angles, they're all over the place. I'd rather have a director mode like the one in GTA 5.

Same, and the "camera change" every bar of the song is not very original... hope we'll have other camera options in the normal replay mode, as I said in the Wishlist thread :

1 - Better replay options (or replay editor ?)
I'm not fan of replays in GT sport, most camera angles are good to contemplate cars, but not to enjoy the action on track (like some stuck-to-the-ground cams, etc...). Classic/Dynamic option in GTS is not enough, I would love at least an option that provide really wide picture of action and doesn't miss the critical points on a track where you generally overtake. A replay editor (choosing cams depending on the timeline) would be a killer feature... Or maybe a "simple" version where you press a button during replay to say "hey, I want to see this bit with more angles", and the game automatically gives you the same 20 seconds around this point, like 4 or 5 times, with different cameras angles.

If you say so... I had to look up who these artists even were.

I’m going to guess that “beginner” and “intermediate” will just be the game activating high TCS and tons of other assists. Not expecting AI to achieve anything noteworthy.

I know some people are complaining about the doubles of Integra, E30, Silvia and Civic and asking why they included those and not something like (insert car of your choosing). I think the simple answer is that those cars use mostly the same 3d models with some minor performance and visual changes and are included less to pad out the car roster and more to give a slight bit of realistic variety to the used car market. E30 M3 Sport Evolution is likely to be the more exclusive, expensive and rare find at the used car lot than the regular M3 thus giving a bit of choice between which you'd prefer to use your money on.

View them more like variants and less like new separate cars.

...what difference does this make when this is basically the one hundred Skyline variants dressed up in a new skin? Sure seems like Polyphony are falling back into old habits.

Wow, I may actually start playing Sport mode again with this level of freedom in car choice.

Bless Performance Points balancing for giving us interesting races again, and not just dull Gr. races.

What is the Daily Workout about?

Eh, that never bothered me as I never saw it as something that detracted from the car list as a whole. It makes the variant you have seem a slight bit more unique and special. It only really came a problem when they talked about car lists and counted the variants as separate things which they seem to have avoided here as the game clears both the "400 unique types of car"* and "over 420 cars" barrier even while discounting those variants.

 

[Famine]

In GT Sport if you drive the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles) in one calendar day you receive a gift car. It's called the Daily Workout.

 

[Silver Arrows]

It makes the variant you have seem a slight bit more unique and special.

95% of the Skylines from GT4-6 that were Standard rehashes from GT4 were not special because Polyphony didn't even bother to model the differences, and in some circumstances, created models wholecloth to pump the car list artificially.

Moreover, what functional difference does having two Renault Sport Clios only seperated by model year serve other then to pad the car list? What does having two of the same M6 GT3's do other then padding the car list?

It is absolutely silly, and could have been used to add a few more cars that were actually unique and not simply the same car with a different name in the file directory.

A bit foolish to think that slightly altering a car model and specs would have used the same resources as modeling an entirely different car, no?

I do dislike the padding but a couple of slightly different variants is harmless in my eyes and only serves to add a slight bit of variety to the used car market. Again this isn't an alternative to totally new cars as the amount of work required to scan a totally new car, simulate it's physics and implement it to the game isn't even comparable to giving the Integra a slight down grade and new bumpers. More than likely it's not even something handled by the same divisions.

One of my journalist friends from Argentina told me a few hours ago that he's reason why so many people were spamming "boring" and "zzz" in caps during the State Of Play stream.
