Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[regnar]

I feel you're exactly right, we only have the first 3 of an expexted 6+ tiers of payments.

• There's Pre-B events, where you make peanuts but it's enough to get sports computers for your hatchbacks.
• B License events in the 15,000 Cr range, where you can quickly buy an Evo
• A License events, 30,000 short, up to 75,000 long (including Gr.3 racing maybe a bit early)

[GT7 ends here so far for some reason]

• IB events I'd expect to be 40-75km with payouts over 125,000 (where I thought WTC800 would be and would pay), also road car endurances, Trial Mountain 2 hours?
• IA events in the 200,000+ Cr range, Gr.2, Gr.1 championships, a place where one can make 2 million per hour. Race car endurance races.
• S events, Formula racing, Dream Car Championship, one-make events for the VGTs for goodness sake, 2.4 Hours of Le Mans, 4 hours of Nurburgring (if we get Type-V) McLaren F1 as a prize car or something
• Hypothetical seventh tier, spicy seasonals with payouts like the GT5 Ferrari F1 events so we can afford to shop at Hagerty. Or, since every part of this game is online and somewhat seasonal, just make IA and S events pay that well.

The amount of credits per mile is quite off between the two events

5 lap Daytona Oval Pickup truck race (easy) 30,000cr, track length 2.5mi x 3 laps = 7.5mi / 30,000 divided by 7.5mi = 4,000 credits per mile

10 lap at Daytona GT Cup GR.3 (hard) nets 75,000cr, track length 3.56mi x 10 laps = 35.6mi / 75,000 divided by 35.6mi = 2106.7 credits per mile

Your making less credits per mile doing the more demanding race

If the GR.3 event was getting paid the same amount as the truck race per mile the payout would be 142,400cr

Jaguar G-Type Is an Unofficial, 50% Glass New Chapter of EV Flagship Grand Touring

Onkar H, the virtual artist better known as “designedevil” on social media has imagined a proper successor to Jaguar's iconic, real C, D, E, and F-Type series

Anyone seen this yet?

"Meanwhile, Jaguar was further looking into the all-electric future with a 1,005-horsepower Roadster concept designed and developed for the pleasure of Sony’s Gran Turismo 7 aficionados."

Maybe this is a sign of an upcoming car to be added to the game?

Anyone know what Error code: CE-900313 is? Was in my second GTWS Manufacturers Cup race and when qualifying started I got kicked out.

That's just someone's personal project, I think they're referring to the Jaguar VGT when they mention GT7.

The Master Car List has the BMW 3.0 CSLs as 1972 and 1973, but there is a 1971 in the game.

Interesting method, but I don't like the idea of using that much electricity for farming.

AFK methods for farming (GT 1.09 update)

Read here first Just an update, we're waiting for new patch which was just announced (1.09), and the patch notes for an update to come soon after seems promising. The original goal statement below was created because I believed for many of us, GT7 was not the game we bought, and as far as I know,...

Lol. This is what happens when they make a game with content that people want to use but playing the game to get it isn't actually fun. Humans are ingenious little critters.

Imagine review-bombing a game because you can't obtain an unnecessary car easily...

After all that has been said, that is all that got into your skull?

I’d freakin love customers like you.

Why Gran Turismo 7’s Latest Update Has Outraged Fans

Gran Turismo 7 players will be waking up today to some rather unwelcome news. In the brief period during which the latest update was available it was revealed that, for many of the best-earning races in the game, credit payouts have now been slashed -- by more than half in some cases -- dramatically

I did read it. A few days ago actually.

Can't help you then. Have fun making up excuses for PD.

So many whiners. This game had given me so much enjoyment. Entitled gamers, smh.

While I appreciate videos like this that highlight the issues, I am now completely numb to them and just want a damn solution.

A tweet from PD, something...

Let me ask you, do you need to buy the Porsche 917 to complete the game as it stands right now?

 

[TheScythed]

You do not need to buy them to ‘complete’ the game, but this game was very much meant and marketed as a car collecting game.

PD nerfed our payouts (trust me, dev teams operating at much smaller scale than PD do an insane amount of playtesting). The ONLY reason they nerfed those payouts is because the mtx were not selling as they’d hoped.

And then, to add a cherry on top, two days in a row PD dangles shiny 18m cars right in front of your nose, which not a single player is meant to be able to afford at this stage.

Why is it then, that the Hagerty offerings, which has very been carefully curated beforehand, offer TWO of these extremely pricey. What kind of masochism is that?

We know full well the car list and which are implemented into the game. If there was any good intention, at all, they’d ease up and start us off with cheaper, more obtainable Hagerty cars.

If this is something you cannot grasp, I’m afraid nobody can save your soul.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

To complete the collection, in a game that absolutely pushes the idea of car collecting being a major goal, yes.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Perhaps I have this ability to block out all the negativity and look at the positives. I won't let these issues ruin my fun.

Hopefully Sony and PD wake up and revert this situation ASAP, such a great game ruined by greed and MTX...

 

[ScottPuss20]

No you don't need it to complete the game as it stands. The purchase is purely optional because there's no use for the car. Why buy it if it's just going to be taken out for 10 minutes and then stuffed into the back of the garage?

 

[AutumnalGlow]

The purchase is purely optional because there's no use for the car.

You're only highlighting another issue with the game, you do realize? The absolute lack of races.

 

[Magog]

Well said. I have over 150 cars already and am having a blast working my way through them.

 

[TheScythed]

Perhaps I have this ability to block out all the negativity and look at the positives. I won't let these issues ruin my fun.

And I’ll very much applaud you for that, if you can see past these issues and you are having fun - by all means do so!

But, do not belittle players who are leaving genuine, constructive complaints just because you can’t personally sympathise with them. It’s kind of a bad look.

But I'm right though aren't I?

......yes, as of right now, you don't need it. What are you going to do when Gr1 races get added? Or historical races?

It's OK to make genuine complaints, I understand how frustrated people are but some of the claims are just ridiculous. That's what annoys me and I want to try and reverse that by getting people to look at the positives. I agree that the economy is stingy and you need to be a hell of a lot more frugal than in the past. You know my way of dealing with it? I drive, modify and race the cars that the game has given me for free, and buy more "budget friendly" vehicles.

Exactly, everything has its good side. Naysayers and whiners everywhere. Imagine GT7 at 1.7 - pathetic the game is amazing

Or they know the game is incomplete and they thought "well, no one is going to buy them anyway so let's push out those 18m car already and get over with it".

I don't know what are their intentions, but I do think we gonna see only expensive cars rotating until the next update, with 3-5 million cars here and there.

With that being said, I'm still worried about the cap for credit/hour. Let's just imagine that in a couple updates there's 20 events for every class, every PP and every circuit. Good! But also, now every payout is reduced and the best event gives you 300k/h. Now that... that could be something!

I'm really curious about what could be the rewards for Gr.2 and Gr.1 events.
