Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[wheelhp]

That's your response? I guess I should have known better than to be able to have any kind of actual discussion with you. No, I'm not a game dev, I actively follow the gaming industry, from a game and people point of view, because it is important to understand what goes on, how things work, and how different Devs and publishers operate and work their staff.

I also don't need to give you any excuses or reason for participating in a discussion forum, you're not my boss.

Well then you're not the brightest chap if your knee-jerk reaction is to start insulting the other person's intelligence then expecting them to have a nice and dandy little chat with you LOL

Remember your previous comment? Here, I'll post it again

It's more about understanding game development and the term known as "crunch". Granted that requires research and reading to understand, 2 things you can't be

Firstly I KNOW what crunch is. So right off the bat you're the idiot for assuming such.

Second. I research what matters to me, not what YOU want. lmao, I don't even have the slightest idea who you are? Who you think you are... my Fairy godmother? If so, why don't you tell me what I have to gain by talking to you? Seems like I get absolutely nothing of value by talking to you at any length since I could research it all anyways and remove all your bias in the process right? One could say everyone would be better off putting you on the ignore list

So if you play the arcade mode while offline, on the race menu you can go into settings, change car and pick one from your garage.

That isn't working for me. I only have the pre-selected cars available. Which settings exactly?

Maybe it's just a California thing, they probably made a law against it this morning

After all bad news I started Horizon 5 and found out again, this the place for car lovers. Almost 600 cars in my garage to test and check in Forzavista mode. Before GT7 release I couldn't appreciate it enough...

 

[DJFridge]

I fixed my 900HP Camaro. I will post my settings once the game is back online. 😀

Yes, please share. I absolutely ruined mine!!

You know where the button is, as does everyone else. Saves me a job.

Just as a reminder:

That sounds like some good reading if there's a source. What's your point exactly?

Now now....Was it actually kaz working 24/7, guzzling caffeine at odd hours and not having a life for years back then? Having not looked at your sources, it's hard to tell if you're making this up!

It was you asking for the information, without searching for yourself or reading my sources, questioning whether they were true. So what have you gained from talking to me? The answers that you were asking for..

I also haven't insulted your intelligence, I've implied you can't be bothered searching sources or reading sources yourself, which you yourself said you hadn't done. 🤷

Pick any car from the list. Then in the pre-race menu you can choose any car from your garage.
The game show for all cars the stock miniatures with the stock color the cars comes with, but in-race they have aero and tuning parts if you bought them. You can also tune

When you tell me I can't read, you're going to just pretend that's not an insult or expect me to pretend it's not a thinly veiled insult? um ok then buddy


We have very different definitions of what constitutes an insult then.... with you not really giving a care about the other person either way, lol

Granted that requires research and reading to understand, 2 things you can't

You choose the race settings, car and track. On the next screen, where you press to start the race, you have options to change tires, etc. if you do change car you can choose one from your garage.

 

[DJFridge]

Oh that. I thought there was a way to make then gr4 eligible. Yeah that’s great. I have modified my mustang to a point that it’s barely driveable 😂

No, Gr.4 eligible would be even better. Some tunes go better than others - my Camaro sounds like your Mustang 🤣

 

[DJFridge]

Must try that.

You forgot the rest of it that came after the word can't.

"2 things you can't be bothered doing"

Why don't you quote the entire post instead of just the bit that fits your narrative.

It's more about understanding game development and the term known as "crunch". Granted that requires research and reading to understand, 2 things you can't be bothered doing, but you know.

Quoting just the bit that implies I've said you can't read and thereby possibly constituting an insult, versus quoting the whole sentence which indicates a lack of desire to research and read the article, which is not an insult.

 

[wheelhp]

You forgot the rest of it that came after the word can't.

"2 things you can't be bothered doing"

"Turns out I can't be bothered reading, because I don't know how to read nor research."

You're trying too hard....

 

[MroczMR]

Ok. I figured out why GT7 servers are still down...

That because I took a free day tomorrow from job to play GT7. That is definately the reason why they cut it down. Maybe i will go to work instead so the rest of you can play it xC

I've been trying this for an hour (since when I exit it takes 5 or 6 minutes to load up again) and on my end there is just no choice of car other than what PD gives you before setting up the race nor in the pre-race options. I was joking about California but not so sure now...Thanks anyway, I appreciate you trying to help.

 

[wheelhp]

Because the point of this thread is to talk about GT7..... Why do you insist I keep talking to you and about Kaz' sleeping patterns? LOL

 

[Quakebass]

Damn went to bed woke up and the servers are still down???

I feel like 7 has even less functionality than Sport in offline mode…

Seems like the user metascore is now falling:

Deserved? Seasonal review bombing? (Scores may also be affected by the Russian conflict too)

Yeah, I think ratings falling for being locked out of your primarily singleplayer game for over 12 hours because of a decision to make it require an online connection AND being updated to have an insane money grind essentially forced upon you to be able to afford anything is pretty deserved.

 

[RadishTM]

So much for playing a quick game of GT7, sigh...

/Fires up DriveClub instead, works at least without a server connection...

Horizon 5 was a "better mess" than this at launch.

Bad game deserves bad scores. Reviewers were scammed. Users are not.

Same here, not at all happy about this still being down.

For me, the most important thing is that PoDi continues to offer us tracks, cars and races. And if for that, they need to put optional micro transactions then I am totally for it.

They don't. They are backed by Sony, who are worth billions of dollars and even if they weren't, they sold the game for $70 and it will sell in the millions, turning a profit quite easily.

It's greed. Pure greed, and you are supporting it. PD are laughing at you. You're what they call a mark.

I was very critical to H5 but after this? They are the best!

Pick any one of the offered cars and go into the race. THEN go to the Settings menu and you can choose one of your garage cars. Hope that helps, mate.

I believe the user score as at 6.4 this morning, good to see the community answering back.

Count me thoroughly impressed....

With all the nerfing going on. I've been grinding on GT Cup GR. 4 High Speed Ring alot and just figured out you could use nitrous yesterday, I will not be surpised if that's not allowed in these events after this update.
