Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[SestoScudo]

GT4 AI wasn't great but that was 17 years ago. It was OK for the time. It shouldn't be part of the conversation as a benchmark today.

Ignore the obvious slidey arcadey physics of this video (and the players less than stellar skills) and focus solely on the racing and the AI behaviour. It's simply worlds away from GT7.



Again, not saying that's perfect, it's not, but the difference in approach to the racing format is clearly completely different.

I cant believe GT7 still has no dashboard camera or even a helmet cam.

Seriously what are they doing?

 

[TheAdmiester]

That is not how any of this **** works at all.

That's 100% how it works in GT. Camera offsets are stored in per-car info files that are packaged with their models, it's absolutely within the realm of possibility that the offsets depend on who was in charge of the car.

Guys any one is streaming or has seen PS4/pro footage yet ?
This disturbes me a lot at the moment
Can wait until the 4th but will ba hard to handle any "unexpected" bas news about performance on the 4...
Thx if you have intel on your side

Just noticed that trial moutain main tunnel straight has a glassed roof now it seems
At least in reverse you can see/enjoy it

Several of the races (generally the high-dollar, optional ones) do have grid starts and closer AI, it seems that it's just the "mandatory" races with prize cars from the book that operate in the way so many people here seem not to like.

If that is the case then it just begs the question..



The streamer has already hit a point where the 1st car is starting ~25 seconds ahead of him. Sigh...

 

[hejustsits]

Thank you for repeating the obvious but that's not the point here.

The people who are modeling the cars are responsible for just that, nothing more. Everything else is out of their hands and it would be idiotic to blame them for whatever happens down the line.

This has to take the trophy for most random/irrelevant hill to die on

Seriously, how on earth do you know that the car modellers aren't involved? And more importantly, why does it bother you so much that someone suggested that they might? It's so trivial.

 

[Real_StiFex]

Samus you are the 1%
The plebs don't mind having an edge to just catch 1st place in order to win their low tier beginner race
But since chasing the rabbit back at the daily challenge of the PS3 era and racing the invincible GTSports KTM/ spoon S2000 in my custom races I know the feels

I'm not worried. I mean they wouldn't release an unplayable game of this caliber...

I assume cos those streaming are those who received the accidentally shipped PS5 disc versions. Opening the digital downloads is still locked until Friday I guess.

Ah right there was no hard copies of PS4 versions released yet !
That explains it then thx for the heads up
@R1600Turbo i am not that worried since Horizon and knowing Poly caring
But still growing eager to that first glimpse of PS4 gameplay "reveal"

Yep that's a R33 alright no R34 would deserve such horrendous kit IMO 😉

Fair enough. Bit different from what I've seen and heard regarding other games but I'll take the fault for assuming it would be the same case here.

I've seen a couple of folks that got the game for PS4.

 

[Auditore]

Gt7 looks like a solid foundation for online,way more than the actual e-sport focused GTS.
I wish this was the game that came out in 2017.
Also,very curious about the online championships,hope they are frequent and can actually have some prizes for the drivers.

 

[Veinz]

I upgraded from a wheel stand to a playseat challenge today in anticipation for this game. I can’t believe I put up with that thing for 4 years.

 

[Real_StiFex]

Fuji Looks great at the moment on justps2games stream on twitch

 

[Auditore]

He also I think only put a high-RPM turbo and not the lower range ones because he didn't understand what it meant.

Thats what they also said about Cyberpunk 2077, BF 2042 and GTA Trilogy :-)

Only Sony did not really liked the Cyberpunk debacle
So maybe we can expect better them as a publisher

majority of Gran Turismo buyers are super casuals. And that’s fine. What makes GT special is it’s accessible to a huge range of people. People who barely know cars enjoy It while hardcore sim enthusiasts can still get a kick from it.

 

[Lord Protector]

I still don't get why cars in GT7 still default to high-beams every time that headlights are turned on. Sometimes even during the day. Been the same in GTS too. Very strange, and it bumps me every time I see it I always switch to low-beams as soon as I can.

 

[hejustsits]

Spoiler

Which cars have we seen so far that can definitely have widebody kits applied? Any I'm missing?

Granted, there will be many more, just like counting these things in as I spot them.

CSL 3.2
Pantera

Exactly,and the dude got better on today's stream,at least on the High Speed Ring race i watched.I've seen worse. 😂

 

[Real_StiFex]

Learning curve in GT much huh ^^

I've not blamed them for anything, and you can drop the personal digs, the AUP is quite clear about that subject.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

It's March! 80 hours or something until GT7! 338 -4 +90 = 424 cars! Dozens of widebodies! Daytona! Trial Mountain! High Speed Ring! Deep Forest! Alsace Rollercoaster! Weather and Time*! (I really want to know which tracks don't have full cycles)
Pumped! I've got stuff to do.

 

[Veinz]

I can’t remember the last time I had a game downloaded a week before release.

Yes, you're missing a few. The Supra RZ has a couple of widebody kit options and the 2016 Renault Clio R.S. had one

In the state of play video, they show glimpses of widebody kits for other cars such as the EK9 Civic Type R, Lamborghini Huracan, and Nissan GT-R Nismo (I think). I also recall a widebody kit preview being shown for the R34 Skyine GT-R in a pamplet a while back.

sigh at least when I go to bed.. the countdown timer will continue without me staring at it like I've been doing all day. lol

This week.. already feels way too long. :/

I'd argue that GT is more important than that.
