Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[GBalao888]

One thing I noticed is that prices for race cars aren't fixed to a particular category anymore. The most expensive Gr. 3 is the Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (the one from GT4), at Cr. 1,600,000 and the most expensive Gr. 1 appears to be the Porsche 919 Hybrid, at Cr. 10,000,000, and they're all sold in Brand Central to begin with.

Almost anything that falls under the racing categories, but are sold in Brighton Antiques will most likely be more expensive than the fixed price of whatever category that car falls under.

Sophy will not replace the AI. That seems obvious at this point if their only solution to scaling it is to give them a slower car.

 

[Islaygaz]

I’m just glad you don’t just get cars from the daily roulette tickets!

 

[Shakengandulf]

A request for anyone that has the game, is the game HGIG compatible using the systems HDR settings or does it have in-game settings like Sport?

Thanks in advance.

I'm loving the mix of new and current cars. After GT Sport I was a bit doubtful as to whether PD would actually add more recent cars but they have. This is GOOD NEWS and I can't wait to see what's next.

It's said before that GT Sophy won't be available at launch.... the question is when will it be?

I wasn’t thinking about Sophy. Just a patch.

When the twitch stream was up, the user was saying AI were set to Hard. When he switched to settings, the chilli peppers were set at 2 of 3. I don’t know if he just didn’t click on the third pepper or it was locked. The AI were way too easy on Hard.

Now, we know the AI in GT SPORT, are dependent on car class and circuit. That may still be the case. The economy cars were lack lustre. When the user chose the Gr.4 cars at Trial Mountain, he noted AI appeared more aggressive at the start. Could be the cars and/or track, as he had caught up to the car ahead, after he had had hit the wall a couple times before hand.
Again, maybe due to him having AI at 2 of 3 or the game having beta AI, before the Day one patch. Just guessing before anything about Sophy.

 

[Monkey Man]

Has anyone noticed if the monkey and lake monster have returned to Trial Mountain?

I can't speak for Sister Nessie, but I'm still sittin' down here in Melbourne dreaming about owning a PS5.

I’m hoping if nobody here with access answers then HDTV Test will get access next week and do a HDR overview of GT7. A bit like he has for other games so far.

I've been laughing catching up on the last 10 pages watching both sides bicker about spoilers.

At the rate y'all are going, the game will have been picked apart and scrutinised by release date. So much so, to the point where all that's left is the wishlist again, and we're back to complaining about PD and Kaz.

It's like watching piranhas in real time 😂😂



For anyone still complaining about spoilers, just keep scrolling. That's exactly what I did and I'm still good. You can literally ignore posts, I don't understand the passive aggressive comments. Just as people are free to post whatever they want, as long as it adheres to the AUP of course, you are free to ignore them.

Think of this as catching your kids opening their Christmas presents a week early; you're disappointed at first, but also happy for them 😜

Keep it light, guys. No need to make personal attacks on each other.

Move on.








------------------------------------------

On topic again, I'm glad we found out what the upgrade process is going from PS4 to PS5. I'll just wait to buy GT7 once I get a PS5.

That shaking looks very unnatural to me. I don't like it.

It’s because the horizon is locked. If you don’t lock the horizon then people get motion sick.

 

[xterno50]

How is the night? is it like ACC (PC) where it gets pitch black or like on consoles where 2AM looks like 6PM? also, headlights do their job? in ACC console they are useless past 2 meters lol

Only night race, on the twitch stream, was at Tokyo. Headlights work the same as in GT Sport. We’ll have to wait and see how Bathurst and the Nurb look at night.

Tease.

Would you believe I don't even have a car mate, but if I did, I'd be inviting myself over there fer sher Scott... with a slab of German brew of course.

Why don't you have a car? Because you physically can't drive or because you haven't bought one? I'm the former because I'm disabled and therefore cannot drive.

 

[ed24]

Hi,

Any chance you could share some footage of Mt Panorama? They haven't shown any footage of the track prerelease and Zach never got around to the license test featuring that track.

Thanks!

Based on the image posted by @NanoSaibou on page 450, Mount Panorama still has the armco on pit straight which means it's still the 10-year old scan and probably identical to GT Sport (the concrete was added in 2013). Disappointing as I was hoping for a refresh.

 

[Monkey Man]

Why don't you have a car? Because you physically can't drive or because you haven't bought one? I'm the former because I'm disabled and therefore cannot drive.

Was talked into selling my beloved Ford Escort 1980 2.0L van in 1998. Drove it for 10 years. The promised replacement car was taken back 3 months later. I was "robbed" and would still be driving the Escort today otherwise.

Health challenges related to heavy-metal poisoning have meant that I've not been able to afford to buy a car again, let alone the upkeep costs.

Seems we're in similar positions mate. Pretty-isolated here.

 

[Rzeractor]

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

Yeah just means that specific ST205 they were modelling must have been a transition car, ie. built very late 1994

Come to my place and you won't have to.

yo can i come?

Tease.

Would you believe I don't even have a car mate, but if I did, I'd be inviting myself over there fer sher Scott... with a slab of German brew of course.

I'll pick you up and we'll go to his place haha

 

[Cayit]

What about the SEASONAL EVENTS are they in the Game or not?
...for those who have already the Game.

 

[Lord Protector]

So… why is PD copyright claiming GT7 videos? End users don’t need to follow embargo, do they?

 

[Nielsen]

So… why is PD copyright claiming GT7 videos? End users don’t need to follow embargo, do they?

Because the game has not officially been released, and apparently they want to protect the embargo’s impact.

The general public doesn’t need to respect the embargo, but Sony can still request uploads to be removed.

 

[Deni323]

Terrible news if we aren't able to sell cars for prize money.

Having a used car dealership but no means of selling unwanted cars lessens the immersion/nostalgia somewhat.

But I would like to see 'realistic' selling of cars, not just click sell and car is sold same second, giving a car to a used car dealership and 'waiting for a buyer' couple of days, receiving offers, negotiating, THAT would be realistic and awesome IMO

 

[NICKname]

There's copyrighted music in them, and the videos are getting claimed automatically by content ID bots.

 

[GBalao888]

Another thing I noticed was that I was right: the reason for the renaming of most race cars is because this is likely because of not only livery support from the livery editor, but because certain cars have multiple default liveries (I once saw on the Twitch stream that the Porsche 911 RSR has two default liveries, the 2019 Le Mans golden stripes and the original show car from 2017).

Definitely hoping Polyphony adds more default liveries to most of the race cars through updates, but it's also nice to create some good ones in the livery editor too.

 

[Imari]

Only Forza Horizon can consistently score perfect...

The game that (pretty) consistently scores 9/10?

 

[owoc12]

Did anyone check if the pit stops are still just a cutscene?

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

There's copyrighted music in them, and the videos are getting claimed automatically by content ID bots.

That is probably true of the livestreams especially if like in GT Sport Transmission Mode doesn't work again but there were clips with GT original music or no music at all taken down too.

Genuine question: is this how selling a used car is done in Croatia (mainland Europe)? Dealers are effectively agents? Taking a commission?

Here, the dealer makes you an offer and you sell it to him (or her) and he sells it on at profit. So the normal GT sales method is ‘realistic’ as far as I ever experience it with second-hand car sales. Prob an exception for very high-end cars tbh, I’m talking 250 GTO-level, but I’ve never been fortunate enough to own such a beast so really wouldn’t know.

 

[Guffaluff]

This I would love to know. I'm expecting it to be the same as GT Sport, but hoping for normal pitstops 🤞🏻

I haven't bought rain tires so unless arcade mode automatically puts rain tires in rain races for your personal cars then no, I was still on my comfort tires. In GT7 it seems like you will have to buy each of the tires you want in the parts store.

Comfort tyres are actually pretty good in the rain. If you want to try aquaplaning, get Sport or Racing slicks.

The right kink after Eau Rouge at Spa is notorious for having puddles in the rain (at least in ACC, it always does). That would be the first place I'd test for aquaplaning. It's at high speed so you won't confuse aquaplaning for usual wheelspin. If your car doesn't slide across the track then aquaplaning isn't simulated.

I'm loving the mix of new and current cars. After GT Sport I was a bit doubtful as to whether PD would actually add more recent cars but they have. This is GOOD NEWS and I can't wait to see what's next.

I'm the opposite. PD is 1 or 2 generations behind on current cars (as they always do).

No Alfa Giulia.
No 2nd Gen Audi R8 or RS6.
No New Vantage/DBS SL/Valkyrie.
No New M4 (or M2/M5/M6/M8 for that matter).
No Chiron.
No C8 Corvette.
No SF90 Stradale or 812 Superfast.
No i20N or i30N.
No Centenario or Sian.
No MC12 or MC20.
No 600LT/720S/Senna/Speedtail/Artura.
No AMG One.
No 918 Spyder (despite having LaFerrari and P1 GTR) or 992 GT3.
No Levorg or New BRZ (literally just a bumper change on the GR86).
No New Teslas.
No Mk8 Golf GTI/R.

And still missing critical brands like Bentley, Lotus, Koenigsegg, Caterham, Volvo/Polestar, Kia, Holden/FPV...

I love old cars but PD has never been up to date with new cars (except Japanese brands) and it's the same with GT7.
