Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[QTheRacer_31]

Dumb question but was there any hidden/leaked list of those tracks in GT7? I don't remember to be honest.

I remember back in GT Sport days, someone found some data on various tracks that aren't in the game.

4 of those have been added to GT7, the rest...well it's unknown but I wouldn't be fully surprised if we get Road Atlanta or Grand Valley.

@Samus: It was posted a few months ago here:

Looks legit as the text published by PD for the Watkins Glen scapes is the exact same as the one in the leaked scapes data.

I think a better discussion at this point stems from why they released an unfinished game? Were they rushed out the door, was this or was this by design? Both are *****, but for different reasons.

Kaz is beholden to Sony. In the past we've seen PD are more than happy to delay, but Sony has changed leadership since then so Kaz may not have been given that same opportunity again.

So a shorter layout of Watkins will be added too, nice to see.

But I really enjoyed the final GoT season

Hey, no kink shaming from me.

Yup, the one without the boot

Toyota 86 menu is a little bit spit in your face xD i hope it will give us something else than 3 identical cars xD

I expect it will grant the '16 facelift, the GRMN version of the original and the new' 22 car.

Here you have some details about the hot rod.

1932 Ford Roadster - The Henry Ford

The classic proportions of the 1932 Ford roadster make it a hot rod favorite. Rodders modified these inexpensive vehicles with more modern and powerful engines and parts. Dick Smith of Arizona purchased this hot rod in 1949. From 1954 to 1963, Smith dropped in a 1951 Chrysler V-8 engine and...

Engine: V-8 Hemi, overhead valves, 331 cubic inches
Transmission: 3-speed manual
Weight: 2459 pounds
Horsepower: 180 at 4000 revolutions per minute

Cant wait to drive it and see what modifications we can make!

Edit:
Here‘s a motortrend article about that particular car ->

Thanks for the info, but that didnt convinces me to like it more 😅. I do not like cars that are not like they were when they left the factory. Only factory stock cars here.

Fun fact; John Snow drinks in my brothers bar whilst his dad drinks at my mates local.

Yup, this. When you combine an ambitious, visionary company that takes it slow and steady with a suit-and-tie corporate number machine, all sorts of problems start to arise.

Much like how Hideo Kojima was at the mercy of Konami, who forced Metal Gear Solid V out the door despite it clearly being unfinished. Though I'm sure Sony is a little less draconian than Konami, especially towards PD. Still, look at the mess of a launch that GT7 had. It's not like PD to do something like this.

Maybe it's just a symptom of a booming industry, but it's certainly not a one-off thing. Look at the slew of recent reports of crunch time especially in game development. Nintendo, Rockstar, CDPR. They don't treat their devs particularly well when deadlines come.

GT7 moves back into the top 10 in Japan. And top for PS games. Presumably due to console availablility and bundles.

I am generally absolutely with you on that. I almost allways buy two of the cars to keep one stock, love to test drive them on the drag strip and compare laptimes and characteristics to similar stock cars. (I dearly miss the option load my saved goasts in time trials)

But in this case i very much like that it has been built in 1962 and isnt something crazy horsepower or design wise.

 

[snc]

No, there has been no track/scapes leak from GT7 data. Only the GTS stuff you posted.

I also don't recall Circuit Gilles Villeaneuve or Albert Park being in them. The latter was just a promo image in the background of a video that was confirmed nothing to do with GT7.

I read on beyond3d forum few days ago tracks in gt7 files:
Grand Valley
Red Rock Valley
Road Atlanta
Watkins Glen

 

[ICEYOU3]

I will have a cargasm if Red Rock returns!

Ok cool, thanks for replying

There are 3 new menu books, so it's likely well have 9 new races, 3 attached to each of those if the current pattern of 3 races per menu book continues unless any of them are new championships.

The Gran Turismo website is down for a while now... 🤔

The main website? Are you sure? It's fine for me.

Sorry, my mistake. Typo 😞

Anyone else going to the 6hour race at Watkins Glen on Sunday? Technically not off-topic here at the current moment for obvious reasons haha

I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that PD would release a WTC 800 One hour enduro that has the time lapse by six hours when the hour's up.

 

[Samus]

Is this another Pikes Peak Scape?

Looks like it, also would make a really cool bedroom poster too.

 

[DiabloSV]

Maybe it's me but the Escudo looks lacking geometry in the pictures. Like if PD took the older gen. model and applied a geometry upscaler 🤔

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Ok, I don't know about anyone else, but an AZ-1 / Suzuki Cara with pop ups really does look awesome.

That would be nice

Red Rock Valley

No way, I can't handle that.

I'm not really sure why this was the car they chose to model, but it's not a stock 32 and I'm okay with that.
