Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[05XR8]

It's as close to the Super Mame AE86 as the game looks to be able to get. The real one is a kouki Trueno and this one is based on a zenki. It also lacks the big front lip.

Yeah, we’ll see what else we can do to it. I suspect the proper front lip and some tyre width/offset are available, to get the look of the real thing.

Didn't Sophy race against GTS' top players?

Optional races?

I remember it being said here (or some other thread) that there are optional races in career mode that aren’t mandatory for progression, some type of special race or something.

Apparently some of these feature grid starts, which, if true, makes the decision to use rolling starts for the rest of the career very strange.

Damn, @graesand going hard on the chat, calling them all fanb*ys.

I dont understand why they removed the BOP system. There was nothing wrong with it. I want to race, not read online articles how to make a metacar.

Yes, in a special demonstration with a modified version of GTS and who knows what else to make it work. That evidently is not going to be possible in a standard retail version of GT7.

Wow, go tell mommy

Why not? I don't see why it wouldn't be possible in a later stage.

Beware @BigSarj 🤣🤣🤣

Now we need to tune the car by ourselves, right? hmmm...

 

[Veinz]

Tuning in the daily races sounds really interesting. They should probably have one or two with default setups though.

 

[Samus]

I don't know, you'd have to ask Sony and PD but they showed in the presentation how Sophy would be implemented in GT7 and competitive AI is not one of them.

Presumably training the AI to work on every track in every condition and then also have them scale is not feasible yet, the technology is still young.

Super GT review is pretty good. He said physics are much more detailed, and grid start racing can be challenging. AI is not that bad and can be challenging as long as your car is slightly underpowered.

 

[fortbo]

Wow, go tell mommy

Dude are you 12? 😂

Did our Gran Turismo 4's channel get taken down? The stream suddenly stopped and now i can't even find his channel

I believe BoP is a option for the Gr.1/2/3/4 classes, but not for the rest, where PP will be used. Kaz even mention that the Sophie AI thing could be used to improve BoP down the road.

If someone can point me towards the contrary, please do.

It's on right now.

I'm talking about the sport mode races. If I saw it correctly it would seem they're all tunable to 700pp. I really hope there's at least some races where its just BOP.

Are the dailies still weeklies atm?

Ah I see. Maybe it will rotate, some races will be PP based while others use BoP. Time will tell.

I don't recall seeing any comments on the rotation of the Dailies. Kinda hoping for them to be actual dailies again, or maybe rotate every 2-3 days.

Wierdly, i cannot find it. I'm pretty sure I'm not blocked or anything. Can you share the link please?

They didn’t remove it and it will likely stay for FIA races. Question is, will tuning be allowed?

 

[gen3v8]

Can`t wait until the 4th. All the skid marks, here and in the game. LOL

We don't necessarily know that there won't be BoP races, just that the current daily races are PP based.

Try searching again. I couldn’t find it a few minutes ago. But now I can.

 

[Scotchboy]

Emailed by Amazon UK, my copy of GT7 has been dispatched... email says it arrives Thursday, tracking site says it'll arrive Friday. Will I be lucky and get it early? Usually nothing comes early in the depths of rural Scotland 😂

Got it thanks!

True, but i have a feeling they’ll be pushing the new tracks and tuning options hard at first. I foresee a lot of people losing patience quickly with tuning sport races once it becomes obvious there is a meta tune so hopefully they’ll revert to BoP.

Super GT review is pretty good. He said physics are much more detailed, and grid start racing can be challenging. AI is not that bad and can be challenging as long as your car is slightly underpowered.

Had just finished watching. Was pretty good. He breezed through the car customisation though. Everything else he mentioned was solid.

For me, utilising the multi-class is going to, not superficially, aid in having good AI races. Now, no one has mentioned if the AI will use the exact set ups from our garage. For example, I’ll be using the Demio and Crown in Super Taikyu specifications(I prefer GT4 and lower/slower classed cars, over GT3 and above). They’re both in different classes. Other cars in their respective classes, range from the ND MX-5, Fit, 370Z and Lexus RC. When I tune those cars for my garage, they’ll be equal in performance. I’m hoping that vitual lap the game uses, to simulate a predicted car’s performance, will translate in how the AI utilise the car.

Anyway, with the several other classes I’ll have in those races, I’ll be getting lapped by faster cars(GT3 & GT4, “TCR” and 4WD Gr.4 cars). It’ll feel more like a race, as opposed to just One class or one make race scenarios.

Also, as he mentioned money and making clear choices when buying expensive cars. That’s something I touched on. I feel it’ll add more value to the choices players make. In the streams, people were just selecting any car. Even though they had many gift cars, actually buying the ones you want, may take more planning than in previous games. I’ve already made a list of the cars I need for what I want to do.

I haven’t even touched the game and I think PD have out Assetto Corsa’d Assetto Corsa. AI is the big ink blot on the canvas for solo players, but there’s just too much good that can ease the eyesore. 16 and bit hours to go.

 

[grandtourismo]

is the used wheel shop in this like GT4?

 

[Lord Protector]

You can’t set specific time of day in lobbies. That’s a bummer…

 

[patriotzero]

Shuffle Races?

 

[C_Raccoon23]

From what I’ve seen of various reviews, it looks like making money will be even harder than in GTS and I have yet to see an event that pays more than 100k. Using the free million credits from the 25th AE at the start doesn’t seem like such a bad idea now. It will be interesting to see what money grinding methods people come up with.
