Seems like Tomorrow will be server maintenance. BTW, it's from the Greek site.

 

[VXR]

is it fixed now? I just got the issue myslef.

It appeared to be my LAN splitter, as it affected my Series X, as well.

 

[05XR8]

Does anyone have the Plymouth Superbird yet? This car alone is my main reason to keep considering playing the game and I want to be able to get it ASAP. Hopefully at the rate the used cars and legendary cars rotate, it won't be literal years before anyone has a chance to get it.

Same. I’m waiting for the Superbird and Bee. Haven’t read about anyone buying it. However, someone did answer me about the Super Bee having a widebody, similar to the degree of the Challenger.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh, they better be doing more than just server maintenance, this game needs more than that right now.

 

[alex511]

I think, there will be a huge update until one month after release, with almost fixes and improves.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Last time the update came during the server maintenance but wasn't mentioned beforehand so theres a good chance there will be some form of update tomorrow.

I bought the Super Bee day 1 as my starter car via the 100,000 credit preorder bonus. I will check after the maintenance if it has a wide body, but I know for sure that it has front and rear spoilers and headlight covering options.

 

[Bojador]

Can I buy the mazda gr3 concept
Stealth model? I can’t find it in the stand.

 

[Skeletor_13]

There is a maintenance notice for tomorrow, but no mention of update

So between 4:30pm and 6:30pm Australia (UCDT) time.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Islaygaz]

No, it was a pre-order exclusive. You can likely buy the regular RX-Vision Gr.3 and stick the stealth livery on it though

 

[hardvibes]

I can't find a discussion on this.
Can you guys please confirm there are random wind gusts moving your car during races and that the wind indicator doesn't just affect lap times?
(Or is my left stick broken?)

 

[Bojador]

But it’s a slightly different version no? Does that mean I can’t buy the Supra 500?

It's a wind, it affects car very much. What is weird, it's the same in license tests.

 

[Islaygaz]

I imagine the only difference is the name and default livery (haven’t actually checked)! As for the Supra, it’s in the Legendary Dealership - it’s not available at the moment, but will come round again!

Cool. Thanks for clearing that out for me. Cheers

There are a few groups of people:

• Xbox fanboys who don't want their only relevant exclusive to be upstaged by an exclusive from the rival console
• Forza fanboys who don't want their game to lose relevance with a rebirth of GT
• People who in 2022 still think racing games (yeah I know, not gonna argue this) are about graphics and not physics/features
• People who want the clicks (like Rich from ReviewTechUSA)
• Haters

GT may not be the force it once was but it's a legendary franchise that basically defined the way the genre is now. Even ungrateful Forza Horizon fanboys must acknowledge their favored game has a fair bit of GT's ethos in it (which unfortunately disappears with every new release). Obviously, when you're this big, you'll have a lot of haters.



IMO the best GT Sport championship was the Gr.1 cup, because the Gr.1 cars are really fast with lots of grip. Other cool events were the Red Bull X2019, Super Formula and F1500T races. Other than that, I don't really recall many memorable events. GT Sport's career felt a lot like FM5's to me, and I didn't find it very imaginative.

The best events in GT Sport were actually some of the missions, like the one at Interlagos where you have to undercut the opposition with a Mazda Atenza to finish ahead.

I mean... let' be honest, it is a bit of a dead series, people only buy it out of morbid curiosity to see how well they've done or how badly they've messed up.

It will never truly be the "unit shifter" that the first four games were.

I was late to the party. GT4 was a reason I thought about consoles. Started with PS3 and GT5P. Everything since PS3 is rather disappointment. Still I am open to it they can do it one day. GT7 could be the king but UX is terrible and even I play much more broken games, hate in GT7 was the biggest. They play with our emotions. Only time will show if that Stockholm syndrome style is good.

And FM5 was the game that also dropped down the previous content for quality in the franchise. It had relatively few cars at launch at 200, with GTS having 168. Both also reached 325 and 336 respectively at their end of life. FM6 then had 450+ cars.. with GT7 having 424 cars.

I can't say I've played FM5 or FM6, but I remember FM2 being that sweet spot. Having to choose your starting region. America, Asia, or Europe, and every five levels, you got a car that was significant in that region.

I have seen gameplay, and it feels as though once FM4 hit, they just seemed to give cars away like hot cakes.

Don't get me wrong, I love cars, but not having to work for them kills the collectability charm for me.

In regards to GT7, I think if they hard capped the limit to 4 million or 5 million, collecting something like the XJR13 wouldn't be such a grind.

Be careful, they might get the wrong idea about which number you want capped.

That's Mark IV, now it's priced 4,600,000. It was one of the 20 million cars before, of which XJR13 was too. XJR13 got discount but still on 10 million+. Still unknown for 330 P4.

. Probably around 7 or 6 million. Hopefully. Then again, I can't say that because it's a Ferrari.

 

[MroczMR]

Yea this is upside that some cars aren't THAT expensive as in GT Sport, but yet it is hard to combine credits.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

I don't think GT7 looks like a upscaled game

Reading the YouTube comments for that review suggests that a lot of people disagree with ReviewTech's assertions. Their comments on it being an 'upscaled PS3 game' are especially off when you consider the improvements to the dynamic weather/time systems, and the fact that ray tracing is an adjustable setting for the PS5 version.

Trying to sit through that review makes me thankful that we have people like @Tidgney, who actually give out balanced viewpoints on GT7's strengths, weaknesses and quirks through playing it first-hand.

One reason why I prefer hearing from people like @Tidgney, who actually give out balanced viewpoints on GT7's strengths, weaknesses and quirks through playing it first-hand.

Rich tends to use hot takes to try to keep up with the views.

He is a car guy, by the way. I've seen some of his livestreams, and he does have a taste in cars that leads me to believe he is a Granturismo fan.

I don't think he's played more than a few hours, though.

I can confirm the Super Bee has a wide body, and it’s sexy.

 

[Barra333]

Yeah, that is an odd choice. I had to keep backing out of the first slipstream mission until I had a tailwind. I was 4km/h off gold with a 2.0m/s headwind, and got the gold with a similar wind coming from about 4 o'clock relative to the car.

 

[Phaceless_Ph]

I was going to recreate my real-world from Le Mans and Spa in this, but I really can't be bothered to grind that long.
