Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Samus]

I do genuinely like the concept of the café. The idea of working your way up the ladder there, bringing your cars to a place filled with people that want to talk to you and tell you about it, meeting designers etc. is awesome. That does embody GT.

The main problem is the fact that they maybe lived up to about 10% of its potential. The café is fine whilst you're actively going through it, they do have dialogue for a fair amount of the reward cars you get during it. But then it just ends. You don't get to work your way up to the top of the ladder, you don't get to hear more about legendary cars or hear insight into their design, and you don't even really go to many places, there's so many tracks with just 1 or 2 events. And then it just stops, at a random odd number.

I'm more than happy for them to develop it further. It needs it.

Also for a game which they centered around car collecting there really isn't enough chance to admire and explore your collection as it grows.

Why don't we have a Leno-esque garage we can walk around, move cars around, have other people round to look. How much more fun would that be?

Instead we build up a collection and never see them without taking them to a track.

Since I was bored I started looking into display options where I came across wobbling Type 2. I was impressed.

This convinces me that SVR2 will work in all game modes when it is released.

It;s incredible on the nurburgring in a car that you car see all the fuel and speed displays for. Incredibly immersive on my large projector and G29. It's just too bad the AI is trash

They are always typically quiet on updates. We‘ll only know we are getting one a day or two before. If we are getting one this week, it’ll be tomorrow or Wednesday we find out. If it’s next week, it’ll be next Tuesday or Wednesday! This is of course assuming the update will drop on a Thursday!

It's kind of amazing that the only places where we can get the freedom to "walk around" a car is in the livery editor and race photos. Both are options tucked away in submenus that most players will never use.

Is it possible to download replays (on PC)? It would be nice to be able to use GT7 gameplay without spending $400 on a capture card.

No. Replays aren't video, they're telemetry data used to recreate races/laps.

You can use the inbuilt capture functions of the PS4/PS5 and export those videos to anything you want though.

(PS5 is the same, but the button is called Create now... and the manual is on the console, so I can't link it)

Even Forza has it's Forzavista to explore and admire your car and PGR3 on Xbox 360 had a mode where you could place your cars in a garage or around a mansion. You could walk around then and admire them.


Well you can't even rotate the chase cam during gameplay... and when choosing your wheels you can't rotate the camera either but have to chose with L1/R1 different angles..

Ridiculous!

 

[ShiftingGears]

Still bafling that some racetrack Have only 1 career race ... Like Bathurst or interlagos, every layout need at least 10 to 20 career races ranging from all kind of car categories imho.

Still crazy that we don't have any thematic races like Rotary championship, or lancer Vs Impreza, classical/usual GT stuff ...

Hoping that will be adressed in the next big update ...

Best I can offer is a new clubman cup race at Dragon Trail, except with all billboards replaced by portraits of his eminence emperor Yamauchi

I'd accept a Clubman Cup Plus race at Dragon Trail. Without the billboards.

What gear are you taking it in? I imagine you're talking about the bus-stop chicane.

I would typically shift down to 2nd here, if you're in 1st gear, you're liable to get wheel spin as you get on the power too quickly.

However, if you like shifting down to 1st to get the nose to turn in, short shift up to second on the apex on the right hand corner. Then you'll be able to accelerate smoothly onto the start-finish straight.

First recommendation would be to take the chicane in 2nd gear and be gentle on the power to begin with, like half throttle until you're pointing straight.

Hope that helps

No Clubman Cup Plus, just Clubman Cup Minus.

Yep not to turn this into a PD mope thread, but I really thought the series would have had a ForzaVista-Esque mode by now. Figured it'd be a given with GT7. I still love Scapes, however it has it's limitations.

...Why is it that everywhere I go, some way, somehow, PGR is mentioned? I do not understand and I don't want to.

I'm going to see about adding a new rule to the AUP: "We do not speak about Project Gotham Racing or Metropolis Street Racer. Nor do we mention Bizarre Creations in any way, shape, or form."

 

[MagpieRacer]

After 185 hours of gameplay and only missing 2 daily workouts since launch, I finally got an engine swap, the BMW Z4 thing.

Really wasn't worth the wait.

I've got yesterday Porsche 911 engine... making VW Beattle with it is very tempting

I missed now a lot, one of reason driving quali in sportsmode for some reason doesn't count for workout.

Strange, I also got my first engine yesterday, the Hellcat.

Hmmm. I wonder is this just a coincidence?

Can somebody tell me what it does mean when the current lap time display on top of the racing screen is turning red instead of white?

I only noticed it after a pitstop, and then it simply refuses to turn back into white. So it's not an indicator of an invalidated lap or anything, and I have also received Clean Race Rewards after it.

Just means it's an out lap after pitting. Sometimes it errors and stays red but I thought that was fixed in the last update.

I believe it’s a slower lap or Split time than your previous lap. It’ll be white and then, if I’ve not judged a corner correctly, it’ll turn red. I haven’t confirmed with the split time in the MFD, to see if that what the red is for, but that may be the reason.

That series honestly needs to make a comeback. Good times, good times........

PGR's still probably my favourite racing franchise of them all, and that's saying something.
