Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

Huh...engine swap?

That's from the beginning.

I have a question for you guys.
People ditch the cockpit view because there’s no option to adjust the fov degree, but then use the bumper view which doesn’t have fov options. Can’t you just sit close/far from the screen to get the correct fov?

Also, has anyone tried the new offset cockpit view? What do you think of it?

Time is limited for me to play, done menu 1 and License B, game keeps crashing at A-3... need to uninstall and reinstall apparently the pain!

I thought it had to be me being dumb 🤣. Thank you!

From what I’m seeing a lot of cars previously at the cost cap are significantly cheaper, and overall there may be significantly less 20mil or 8-figure cars than the past few games. So, the drop in prize credits may actually not be as significant (at least in acquiring cars, I know tuning is a new factor) and in fact, the economy could possibly be slightly better than GTS on average?

 

[Scaff]

Most people can't do easily.

For reference I have a 43" screen on my rig, and its around 50sm from my eyes, and while it's not bad, I would still need to sit closer for GT7/GTs FoV to be right.

If an update with Gr1/2/single-seater races comes I hope there’s no more of this cafe book stuff. Was ok for a bit but the control freak is getting on my norks now (only book 39 to go).

Also find it odd that all exclusive racers (Gr C, classics etc) will be high- mileage from Hagerty? Ditto for classic muscle and jdms from UCD. So the particular ‘new’ ones we’ve won so far from the cafe tasks will be the only low mileage ones we can have, am I right?

Hey I got a problem, I play on the wheel and I can never get certain corners right (like the last corner on Deep Forest or Turn 10 in Catalunya). I always go too wide, I think this is because I have steering assist on strong and it steers against my input in these corners, but without this assist I can't drive at all. Is there any way to solve this issue?

Steering assist can completely screw your line up sometimes

The amount of seethe this game is generating on twitter is quite hilarious tbh. People grasping at straws to find flaws. It's so funny and sad at the same time.

Maybe I’d understand you viewpoint if the game was near flawless, but it’s far from being close to perfect. I find it more odd how the game managed to score so many favourable reviews. I’d say a metascore of of 71 would have been understandable, but a metascore of 88 makes me scratch my head.

 

[JDMKING13]

Pd please I beg you.. give us the option to turn our interior lights on! I am driving my beloved 930 and during the day I cannot see the gauges.. if I had some lights it would be a big help thanks!!!!

Depends how you view life. A lot of GT players it seems, have a tendency to find any little flaw they can in the game they supposedly love, rather than concentrating on what is good. No game is perfect, but GT's fans definitely are its biggest critics.

Optimism is often hard in life, but negativity is easy, and is rife on this forum. I've been here since GT5 so I know what they're like.

Do we know all the unavailable tuning parts that aren't engines? I remember @Famine mentioning an ultra-high turbo and I've won a weight reduction stage 5 from the roulette.

I would like to see more options for different tire treads for all the compounds.. this game looks spectacular it would add to the games great customization list.

Also with this game looking so great.. they really need to take a page out from the Forza team and make some type of autovista mode! Imagine the option to explore the car, turn the car on rev the motor the game is gorgeous I’m shocked they don’t do something in that nature!

@PettyWingman Thats awesome, and thanks for pointing that out I never would of saw that!

Allow me to put tire stickers on anything dangit!!

PD, I get that you are proud of your new weather system, but please stop using it in EVERY race. Especially ones that require you to use slick tires to have even the slightest chance of winning.

I use Racing Intermediate tires for pretty much any race that looks like it might have rain. And then the championships that are PP limited, I put those tires on and adjust and tune around them and leave it for every race.

I really wish they'd let you make custom races/championships and pin them to the main races screen. And let you use a photo from your gallery as the thumbnail. Maybe let you use like the livery editor to design a graphic title for the race or something.

I'm loving the vibes I get when driving my 996 GT3 or E30 race cars as I feel I'm playing one of the old Simbin games again. I want to create regional and international Porsche 911 Cups or a German Touring Car series. Let you pick what cars are eligible for it and all the PP settings etc.

Cherry on top would be to let you share it.

I would ALSO love it if they populated the AI cars with liveries from your own collection. I love grabbing all the super well done race car replica ones. If I can ever get the BMW Gr3/Gr4 cars again, hopefully I can import and re-share the Turner Motorsports liveries I spent a ton of time on.

So what you're saying is, I ran my heart out on that license 😆😆 Christ I thought I was slow as molasses, I even went looking for SuperGT's clip and couldn't find it.

Damn did all that looking to get hit over the head in the next post 💀 Thanks for the link

Yeah 2.21 is nothing to scoff at, especially in 5-6 goes. A lot of fun that license test

@Streeto I've been saying for a long time, only for certain perpetual pests on here to resort to flame-wars.

@DPereira_2909 I think @Hobson can probably go beyond that time quite easily.

TBH, until that was pointed out, I'd never really thought about the missing driver reflections in that sort of shot.

This. The limited number of cars in GTS that you could do this was irritating and GT7 is looking the same.

I have two questions:

Does anybody have any bugs related to the anti-lag system which causes some cars to pop and bang while others don't? (Sound wise)

Also how often does the Used Car dealership rotate? Or how does it actually work?

Thanks in advance.

 

[DPereira_2909]

ABS off feels way better now! Wheels actually lock up in a realistic way and you can save it. Still a bit too prone to locking though.

@Phaceless_Ph Yeahh there's still 2 or 3 seconds in there

 

[O604]

I kind of wish tires were single use.

Like 1000 for Racing Softs as an example. Basically a new set every race. Or multiple sets for races that require multiple tire types.

I know some cars don't pop and bang as they should when anti-lag is applied (eg. R32 GTR)

I'm loving this game but I don't understand why PD would create an awesome dynamic weather system and have no endurance races in career. I hope they're coming soon in an update.

 

[PuffelPizza]

Can someone widebody the old porsche from the Legend Car Dealership

 

[Goldin]

There is some glitch with M4 '14.
When equiped with sport soft tyres PP drops from 560 to 460 PP.

sometimes you have to activate the anti-lag from car settings

I'm sure they will. Given how many people have already beaten the game I think they wanted to space things out. How long until the first update do we think? A month? Two weeks? 🙏
