I'm surprised at how quiet PD and Kaz have been since the outage. Nothing has been put on their socials since the 17th, do we even know if there's going to be an update tomorrow following the weekly pattern?

I don’t understand how the economy has any influence on which cars anyone would want.

Also, apparently GT7 is still No. 1 in physical sales in France: https://247newsbulletin.news/technology/240648.htmlUK is hardcore. You guys know your motorsports. As a Canadian, I'm envious. F1 is a button on a keyboard here.

I’m not. They are likely waiting out the storm until they have some proper news. Anything inessential they could post now would just get drowned in angry comments.

I'm still blown away they just stopped all social media after that fiasco. Maybe they're regrouping? Hopefully they're learning from BF042?
This timeframe would do wonders for their engagement...

We hope they are going to do some damage control.... and not let it sly.

The hardcore community like GTP are what keeps a franchise keep going. Casuals might buy the game then sell it on if they get bored of it. Sony and PD will have all the metrics and see in a month or 2 what the player base really is. If they keep GT7 the way it is then it’ll be a massive decline and a dead franchise. EA have already promised to learn lessons from Battlefield 2042 and that sold like hot cakes in the first couple of weeks.

Pretty simple. Scale every event so it makes a million credits an hour. Circuit experience for an hour? A million credits, Champinship? A million, half an hour of each? A million. Daily races? Well they’re a joke at the moment. Tidgney did 22 Race C’s in a row for 12 hours and made 500k. Can’t even buy one GR3 car with tyres for that. Even before the latest patch there shouldn’t be just one or two events that earn any money; the whole point of the ‘find your line’ bumf is you can do whatever you want.

Probably from the 11 menus that were cut.

Yeah I noticed it as well. In previous streams they mentioned many popular current games like Elden Ring, Valhalla and Psychonauts 2 but never any competing racing game. Let aside a PlayStation exclusive title.
I really applaud Chris for mentioning on the FH5 stream that he played a lot of GT7 the past weeks (being the car geek that he is I just knew he was playing it anyway 😆) and I also applaud PG for allowing him to say it. /respect!

It will. Not to the point where everyone will be happy, but at some point life goes on.

That middle one basically is one of the menus. We had the menu for the R32, R33 and R34, and in the video accompanying completing the menu the 1970 GT-R was shown too. (*Edit just checked and that menu was R33, R34, R35 and showing the 1970 model).
I guess the other 2 could be, but even in the supposedly missing menus to take the number to 50, I'm not sure they'd throw VGT and classic race cars at you.

I now know why I confuse people often when I talk about "F1" who are not motorsport fans... though this has changed a lot after Netflix put out "Drive to Survive"
Your comment had me rolling..

Interesting note here, though.Gran Turismo 7 Is Still Number 1 In Sales Charts Despite Controversy
Gran Turismo 7 Is Still Number 1 In Sales Charts Despite Controversy
Gran Turismo 7 is still the number one game in the sales charts. This is despite the game's recent controversy.www.gamebyte.com
The game went down for maintenance March 17th & came back up March 18th with the bulk of controversy immediately starting then. Need to have the numbers reported for this week to really know if sales were affected.

Does the price of the cars (e.g. in the used car lot) not kind of nudge you towards buying and trying cars because they've got the right power/look for now without costing a fortune? I know it does for me.
But yes, I don't have any interest in cars at all and hence don't know much about them. If the game throws two cars at me that look cool, one that I know but that is priced at [first you need to play joylessly for 20 hours to afford this] and the other unknown to me but priced at [drive that one race you like anyway five times and presto], then hey, I'm trying out something I wouldn't have otherwise.

I can only speak for myself here, but having played many GT games in the past, certain cars I've wanted turned out to be turds after getting them, and I ended up growing to like tuning cheapo ones to maximum spec with as little money as possible, so that I'd have time to figure out what kinda car I'd actually want to buy soon.

Not really. I buy the cars I want regardless of some legendary cars currently being out of reach.
Cool. Anyway, maybe I see things differently because I’m very much familiar with every car currently in the game.

I like it, but it's outdated already, gotta remake it 😅

I just tried the Le Mans mission race with all the assists except ABS turned off. No traction control is tricky in the rain but the assist I miss the most is the headlights... 🙈
