@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.

It's a toss right up right, I don't feel like spending the time it takes to get top 10 in the daily races on that 917. There were a few tests that I was determined to get 1# spot on my friendslist for though. S10 can kick rocks šŸ˜
 
Also how often does the Used Car dealership rotate? Or how does it actually work?

Thanks in advance.
Once per cafe book (provides you the cars needed to complete it as an alternative to winning them), and then once every 24 hours once all cafe books are completed.

What I don't know yet is to what extent the list becomes random at that point. Predetermined list (with a randomized start/continue point?) like GT5 was my first guess but with how they're handling the Legend Cars dealership I wonder if it will be controlled by PD themselves.
 
Noticed a physics glitch I think with the 997 GT3. It's insanely hard to drive, the weight transfer on and off the heavy rear causes it to spin and lose traction. I've never driven one in real life but given all the reviews of how great it is aa track focused drivers car, I doubt it's this hard to drive? I've tried most sensible things to "fix" it. Tried it stock, with racing soft tyres, added bodykit and maxed downforce and tried adjustable suspension and messing with the settings. Anyone experienced the same?

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? šŸ™

I'd say march 14 or before it for the next update

Add as much ballast to the front as you can. A RR car spinning out is realistic.

You gotta drive RR cars backwards to front and mid-engine cars.

When the back starts to come around you gotta give it throttle to straighten it out.

I've been using a few of the 911s a bunch and they can be a little bit of a handful, but I do chalk that up to it being a RR platform so it seems to exhibit those behaviors.
 
Also - I took a few hours last night just hotlapping 80's and 90's RWD Japanese sports coupes(AE86's/S13's) around Tsukuba and lemme tell you, those things are SO much fun to drive absolutely bone stock down to the tires. They're extremely predictable and are ridiculously fun on the limit.

So I just equipped nitrous to my street camaro and it's not showing.....where is it located at on the HUD?

Edit: so it's not available to use in time trials. Just races. That's why I wasn't seeing it

Yeah I thought it was going to be harder but I might be used to driving in the rain? I'm on controller so that might help, and I've got some geeky hours played across all the GT's

Does TC help on that car? I keep understeering trying to use 1TCS on my 350Z so I turned all that junk off
 
So how do we earn more roulette tickets after beating the cafe? Iā€™d like a chance at getting one of those damn engine swaps. The 1 ticket a day from the daily miles is abit meh be nice to have some other ways to earn more tickets. Say weekly challenges or something would be a good start. Even levelling up your collector rank should give them imo.
 
Why does the 2016 camaro at stage x feel like it wants to spin out in the turns? I'm barley turning the wheel because if I do it's gonna snap around and spin. That was a weird feeling just now. Mind you I had racing softs equipped on the car.

Edit: the 2015 mustang feels the exact same way. Weird...

Every time in did the Schwarzwald race at the Nurburgring 24hr the weather was different....to the point i felt the game was mocking me. I'd start on dry tyres, nice and sunny then as soon as i got onto the Nordschleife it would start raining, so i'd quit the race, change tyres to wet ones, and low and behold it didn't start raining until i was on the back straight.
Yep, every restart the weather be different, All you have is the icon too say how much standing water there is yet only see that when you start race?. Anyway still enjoying the driving but much preffered the layout of old where you entered series instead of this back n forth too the cafe nonsense :) oh one more thing, on ps4 is it 30fps at 4k and 60 at 1080p?.

PS4 is 1080p 40-60fps the only console that is 4K60 or has 4K at all as itā€™s native resolution for the game is PS5

If your in about PS4 PRO thatā€™s checkboarded 1800P at 50-60fps

From all the things people are saying (short career mode, lacking options in online, no use for later licenses, middling car and track list etc etc) this game seems to suffer from the same broad problem that every GT game since 5 has. It'll be a far, far better game in 6-12 months after a bunch of updates.

It seems to be the case for all games of this type these days, it's only A>B story driven games that really seem to be complete on launch day, like Horizon FW, Spider-Man, that type of game. Sure they'll add expansions to those as well, but they're a coherent game that you can start and finish and feel like it's all there. Devs can't just go and patch in an extra bit of story content in the middle of those games and ask people to play through it all again. You can't have the story finish 80% done and expect people to wait for updates for the last 20%.

But for open-ended games like GT, where this is no linear A>B path, no story, and clear room for expansion in all areas, it does seem to need that. As I say, it's been the case for all online-era GT games and 7 seems no different. In 6-12 months the game will probably have 3-4 extra locations, ~50 new cars, a bunch of new races and events, major issues patched, and who knows what else content. It'll be quite simply an objectively better game.

Which for me is not a problem at all, I have such a big back log of stuff to play I rarely feel the need to buy games day one any more. I'll be very happy buying GT7 in 6-12 months and I'll surely experience a far better game than those buying it day 1 who then play the updates piecemeal as they come. I'll get to experience the original game along with all the updates fresh from the start, in one go, feeling like one cohesive game.

Of course I get why people want games on day 1, it'd be absurd to suggest people don't buy them or anything, but for those of us who don't mind waiting, it's going to be a far better experience a while down the line.

Which is a shame it has to be like that, but that's modern era gaming for you.
 
I've been avoiding saying this, but as a designer I have to say that the UI is an absolute mess compared to all previous games.

Each "path" of the UI looks as if it's been done by a separate team each, with no cross-team communication or any senior designers overlooking everything a whole. GT Auto and World Circuits specifically are atrociously designed.

Compare what we've got to what was initially shown off at the first reveal, it feels like a downgrade, especially world map which just reminds me of the diagrams from these textbooks:


Maybe Polyphony's design team needs to do some UI reading of their own with this:

Yeah there will have to be more ways than just the daily login otherwise you could be waiting decades for the part you want...
 
Wait, really? No GT500, Group 1 or open wheel stuff at all?

Do you have those sort of cars in your garage? Maybe they don't appear unless you do,?
No. The last event is the World GT Series championship. For Gr3 cars. After it's done you get the end credits. No more race events are added.

I think you mentioned 20 million cars earlier. Unless someone has has actually seen one then there aren't. Case in point, Ford Mk 4 le man's winner was 20 million in GTS is 4.6 million in GT7.
 
On GTS, I used the Discover tab on the website to find decals because it was easier than using the in-game search. Also quicker because I could login and search in quiet moments at work. In my GT7 account, there is no Discover tab that I can find. Am I missing something or am I about to get really grumpy having to use the in-game search?
Any idea why my race photos dont show up in my gallery on Gran Turismo.com?All my privacy settings are set to friends so they shou;d sync with the website.Any ideas?
