Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[DefNotJake]

Wonder if they'll actually make it appealing to the non 0.1% this time with tiers and prizes all the way down.

Or actually make use of content in the game besides just Gr. cars.

 

[tankuroded]

Genesis joins Toyota and Mazda as the official sponsors.

Something tells me that 3 immune manufacturers in the Manufacturer Series is getting too much. Though I did wish Porsche gained that immunity too, but I digress.

First race of the Nations Cup is the Civic Touring Car, which is a nice surprise.

This is similar to Roadster TC races they had in GT Sport, by the way (without dissing on it, btw).

 

[hyperspeed980]

Fun fact: Using the offset cockpit orientation on single-seater cars just increases the camera FOV instead.

Yeah, it's the FOV that should have been the default across all cars. Much better visibility and sense of speed.

Which is nice, but I'm talking more diversity across the board. It's a video game, why are we restricting such a large majority of these eSport events to cars with race cars/cars with roll cages? The game has pretty large car list, yet they restrict it to such a small group of them? What happened to the Seasonal Event's in GT5 where they did such a good job in making use of the entire game?

I just want PD to stop constantly make bad decisions that will make their game feel stale. From here I could also mention how every fictional track is basically the same track now from a complexity/character standpoint, but I'll hold off on that because I've ranted about it enough.

Probably becauce best cars for racing are race cars

Very true, let's get rid of the 200+ non-race cars and make this a true racing game

 

[Techlet]

We can start with all the VGTs.

 

[Samus]

Probably becauce best cars for racing are race cars

The GT series had always had a majority focus on road cars though, road cars of all shapes and sizes. Kei cars, compacts, wagons, JDM saloons and coupes, American muscle, etc etc. We didn't even really have too many supercars until GT5, and the race cars were quite varied.

It's be nice if they recognised that instead of the constant focus on the GR. race cars.

 

[Filip JDM]

So the mistery car is a Suzuki VGT, it looks kinda cool

 

[sinner]

 

[JD_18]

That Susuki is awesome

 

[Dose555]

I may be nitpicking, but I'm curious why they felt the need to label this update "free." As in, future updates might not be?

 

[SSQES]

In GTS as well it's labeled as "Free update" : I'm not expecting any paid update cars/track.

 

[R3V]

Not even a new track layout

 

[GlamFM]

Oh FFS the patch notes don’t mention anything new besides the 3 new cars and a new scrapes location.

I was actually most excited for new events because I’m really getting tired of Spa and Le Mans.

Bummer, but probably on me.

[UltimateYosh]

[ShiftingGears]

Yes but I'm assuming some nerds have downloaded it and have played the game already

 

[UltimateYosh]

I opened the game and it said that I had a birthday gift.

Obviously in maintenance I can't access it, but it seems that it is perhaps something added in the update?

Edit - Here's the message:

Downloaded, yes. Played, no. Not until the servers come back online.

I got that too. I thought it was odd, since my birthday is tomorrow, but it seems like everyone gets this when loading up?

I don't have this message, but my birthday is November 30th. So maybe they just added it for everyone that had his/her birthday from march 2nd (releasedate of GT7?)

I would say majority of singleplayer campaign is racing with road cars, race a in sportsmode is always road cars, in nations usualy one of race is with road cars and for esport racing cars are just better to use as they are better generaly for racing. Also its not an argument that gt was always mostly focused on road cars - game evolved with gt sport and thats good.
