Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[PettyWingman]

Igor Fraga is back to Japan.


...Also, I'm late though, happy birthday to Kaz.

This is what I've been hinting at for over a year, but I'm doing it early to give time for GT7 to improve before things really get going.

St. Croix C Layout is a damn weird circuit.

St. Croix C Layout is a damn weird circuit.

I’m convinced it was done by someone trying to recreate some place encountered in a weird and vivid dream.

 

[Baka_Marimo]

If you buy Credits via MTX, does the "Total Credits Acquired" stat in your profile go up? Or is this figure for Credits earned through gameplay only?

I don't really feel like buying MTX just to find out 💩

 

[Draggon]

St. Croix C Layout is a damn weird circuit.

I like it much better than A. I think C reverse has some good flow to it.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but has anyone noticed the really loud, creepy cricket chirping off of turn 5 at Laguna Seca?

Crickets are definitely bugs

Pardon the pun, I guess I backed myself into that corner lol

the corner at turn 5, perhaps?

Dang it! You win lol

I heard it yesterday while high ass, creepy as **** starts fast and when you get far from it it goes slow motion. Really weird

 

[Arkseven]

Let there be light!

I was honestly wondering if they forgot to turn the sound ambience down.

Wreckfest had a similar problem where the drones that fly around during demo derbies sound like a Power generator going haywire. Even louder than some of the cars.

I have seen this exact same thing happen in real life on windy days /days with very few thick clouds. Really creepy .

Haha. You've seen time accelerate have you? That quite clearly was not just a case of sun popping out from behind clouds because of wind. Mainly because there are clearly no big clouds and very little wind. The lighting changed entirely from dusk to day in an instant and the shadow on the car moved at a huge pace.

It's a bug. They happen. You don't have to try and defend everything as being correct, you know.

 

[Artremis]

That doesn't really look like a bug? The transition is quite smooth. I've had similar stuff happen before (also in Le Mans, so maybe it's to do with the track) but instead of a smooth gradient it's just an instant switch.

Which is a bug, no?

I don't see why that's a bug tho, they're doing the 24h of Le Mans condensed into 30 minutes, time is accelerated and so you'll get stuff like that, a sunrise 30x faster than reality.

 

[Chris30]

Actually my favorite is the St. Croix B track because it's a short simple circuit where you don't have to do a lot of complex turns and going through a bunch of corners. Plus I don't run into the wall a lot either.

It's still supposed to be a smooth gradual transition, not like a light switch. Hardly a big deal but I just find it funny the lengths people will go to defend bugs and issues in the game.

Mine always do that, instant switch. Looks annoying and jarring.

And yes, it's definitely a bug. It's supposed to be a smooth transition.

 

[Artremis]

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The video posted in particular doesn't seem like a bug because it's smooth instead of instant.

 

[DefNotJake]

Let there be light!

When Sir Lewis Hamilton takes the lead at Silverstone.

 

[JTB10000]

Does anyone happen to have that list showing the difference between low, mid, and high speed track BoP?

 

[jpl]

Just noticed they've fixed the clean race bug. Not sure if it's all minor contact that applies as someone pushed me into the barriers in the wet but will have to be more careful if grinding now

Sure you didn´t ignore yellow flags? AFAIK the only thing that can prevent you drom getting the CRB.

 

[Touring Mars]

It depends on the event.

CRB at some events is still very hard to acheive, while at other events it is nigh on impossible not to get.

My two go-to grind events are a case in point:

WTC700 at Autopolis - lose the CRB even with minor contact with AI
WTC700 at Le Mans - practically have to sleep with the race director's wife to lose the CRB

Also noticed that the CRB at the WTC800 at Watkin's Glen is hard to get, while the CRB at the Spa 24 hr race can only be lost by ignoring a Yellow Flag.

The CRB in the major grinding races are practically non existent unless you ignore the yellow flag or ram the AI very agressively.

Only if he was waving the yellow flag at you during the act 🤣
