Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Rob192005]

So, the championship continues on the same day/weekend? That’s awesome.

Different grip meter.

With a much better course map in the top right, I can probably switch the bottom right to something else.

Also love how they do the prize thing,I want that Integra!

Race 2

Hmm not a single water droplet on the windshield while following the car in front splashing water everywhere.

 

[ArR29]

Really surprised that Sony/PD haven't taken down these GT7 gameplay footages yet.

 

[HugoTwoWheels]

Have they changed ABS? Is "Brake" the new "Weak"? And the last assisted option significantly easier but slower?

 

[Rob192005]

Thank god I can turn the damn driving line off,couldn't figure out how to on 5 and 6.

 

[05XR8]

The wipers weren’t on during the race either. Probably in the Day 1 patch.

Didn’t take long to open Brand Central.

We can also confirm the garage grows, as we acquire cars.

I noticed something: the cars here are sorted out by year, so the ST205 Celica is a 1994 or 1995 model.

There was no racing line in GT Sport.

It seams it’s just like sport with different wording.

I think it is because of the embargo that reviewers are under and that those who aren't under said embargo are gloating that they can play it and screw everyone else that has to wait.

I believe it would have been better if those who received copies earlier should have had to conform to the embargo that reviewers have to, or Sony/PD block access to all bar those that were sent review copies

I'm just saying that if you're gonna post a leak, just mark it as spoiler until the launch of the game, I'm not forcing you to stop posting those things because other might find it interesting (not that i even said that stop posting leaks, but ok), but for us that don't want to see anything of the game asides of what's shown by PlayStation, don't.

But heh, I don't care anymore lol

If you were in a movie theatre, and you saw someone who got to see the movie you were going to see a day before release, instead of ruining it for everyone by yelling it, wouldn’t you prefer the person to stay quiet?

I can stay clear of news posts. But ignoring multiple threads because one or two posts may have spoilers is ridiculous. Which is why I asked to have spoilers IN SPOILERS. Seems @Famine did it again.. made me log out. Thanks. People can share what they want, but the forum has the spoiler button for a reason. Remove it then, since we don’t need it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cya on the fifth.

I probably meant 6 then.

 

[matrix_gt1]

I just want to know one thing. Is Drag racing just a special event or something you can set up?

 

[Nowax]

Ok, that was funny

 

[GETEDA]

@Braveheart

Check this!

They acting like the game is a story and don't want the ending to be spoiled.
SPOILER ALERT: kaz is the final boss

Awe man, wanted that Hakosuka to be the ‘71, for my birth year. Oh well, at least I‘ll possibly get the G nose on my birthday. I can wait.

Weird to see the Civic TC with a year and not the Silvia TC. Also, not seeing the Swift TC.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Some of the videos posted here are no longer available. I wonder if PD and or Sony are talking them down. That company it lists might just be a deflection so people don't complain to them.

They've been taken down by content ID bots because of the music in them.

 

[RacingFan1]

Kaz once said it isn’t realistic so I doubt it.

Why is not realistic???
Other games have it and work perfectly well, so why not gt7?

Yeah, doesn't make much sense tbh...

 

[05XR8]

Can’t wait to get that Alfa 155 on track. Need someone to make a tour of Brand Central.

Shady YouTube like usual. GT Sport in the mode meant to avoid copyright claims still got copyright claims on YouTube. At least now there are better alternatives to the site. Everyone sure to use the wayback machine and all other possible tools to preserve videos that were falsely claimed.

Race 2

More things I noticed here:

• Pre-race music is excellent
• Water/grip level on the HUD
• A lot seems to be locked behind your collector level, demonstrated here specifically, Brand Central and certain levels of tuning parts.
• Cars look to be handed out very, very liberally.

My take on what I’ve seen so far is that the game seems like it might throw too many cars at you at once and also simultaneously encourage you to acquire cars faster than you want to/can use them. It seems to progress/access more of the game you need to acquire collector levels, and to get those you need cars, at least 3 per level? Unless books aren’t tied to levels. To unlock brand central and just the club sport tuning level you need to be level 4, which sounds like you need 9(?) cars? So, starter car, one per championship, one per circuit experience, one per license completion, and daily login/workout? Don’t get me wrong, I do like collecting cars, but it seems like the structure in GT7 enforces it in a really inorganic way, making you collect to get to the fun, rather than the fun encouraging you to collect. If getting the cars is chore-like I feel it’ll turn people away from trying cars they got just to provide progress in the game. Especially if you want to take a slow car(s) and upgrade them it seems extra counterintuitive, cuz you need to get more cars just to unlock the further upgrades for the ones you already own. Maybe it’ll improve mid game, but early game looks spammy and soft-locked.

I think late/end game will have a lot to offer, though.

Interesting, really wasn’t expecting it at launch.

So that’s likely the WRC edition (not the WRC car) with water injection and plumbing for antilag. All WRCs were built in 1994 but some were still sold into 1995 (like mine). Pretty sure those parts weren’t on mid-‘95-‘99s, and the lifted spoiler wasn’t available factory from factory in 95 and 96, with a different-mount tri-post being offered. The risers came back into circulation in 97 and on.

Now I can experiment with wheel options for my real car 😁😁😁

 

[Sojiira]

Oh thats cool

 

[Pearl Jam]

A few settings in custom races

That guys spelling is atrocious!

 

[regnar]

I'm a bit puzzled by people of late, GTPlanet has the latest news and comments on GT7 and people complaining about info being released, if it's something not allowed then the moderators will remove it.

If you don't want to see it then don't view particular threads or hold out until the game released. But asking Famine to remove it is a bit selfish.

 

[05XR8]

I just hope anyone posting new game play, will turn the music off.

 

[Nielsen]

I don't understand the people complaining here about the gameplay video's from early copies. The game has no story or secret ending like other game genres or movies. Its a racing game with 90% of its cars and tracks that are from the previous game so why feel spoiled? This thread is literally there for the latest news about the game, whether it's from players or PD.

I suppose people just prefer to form their own impressions first-hand. Others don’t care, and both mindsets are fine.

My biggest fear about this game. Too much too fast.

Makes it seem a bit too much like a marketing tool for the auto industry.

There are cars and brands I don’t like or want, and I don’t want to be forced to collect them like a kiddy finding Pokemon. Everybody’s garage should be unique to them.

 

[Rash-182]

Jezus Christ I definitely get that people don't want to have things spoiled but complaining about it in a racing game is like complaining about spoilers if somebody shows me a friendly match in the next Fifa
