Heard you guys wanted more VGTs

More like this one for sure...this one actually looks good and could fit in nicely in a gr class too! PLEASE be a gr1 capable machine, I don't want to be blueballed again like the Lambo VGT

It looks like the mercedes and Alpine VGTs more than anything. Hypercar-esque but I'd bet it won't fit into a category..

Genesis did tease a gr1 vgt design concepts a few years ago......so there IS hope!

Sad to see a bunch of new cars not in this game… a few I wish was in this game, bmw m8, corvette c8, bmw 2021/2022 m4 etc etc. kinda wish I research this game more before I got it, kinda been a regret.

 

[Confus]

I'm one of the few who likes (most) VGTs and wants to use and for them to be used legitimately but I haven't been buying any because they're a million each. I don't want to waste these hard to earn credits on cars that barely get any use, especially as someone who's not particularly into time trialing.

It is very weird that they're not free. They're cool and I love them, but they're basically just advertising for these companies.

Isn't every car in a computer game advertising the brand it represents?

Except that's happened before the VGTs. The Manufacterer branded GT Concept Demos, the live car reveals in GT5 Prologue, the sneaking in of the then-upcoming Corvette C7 in GT5. Manufacterers have always advertised in Gran Turismo and that includes the "Official partnership" status (Most recently with Genesis).

So is GT7 officially a flop? I've seen local retailers giving it away for free if you buy a PS5 HFW bundle.

5th most selling PS4/PS5 game in August, ahead of Elden Ring, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Minecraft, Call of Duty: Vanguard and Soul Hackers 2
Probably not that much of a flop

 

[HarVee]

The game is not a flop but PD sure do like to treat it as such.

You're unfortunately right... I was so hyped at launch and with economy update and a bit of communication...
The game have a very good base, but it lack of events and not paid enough. I was expecting a remastered GT4, but got a bigger GTS... I mean it was a great game, but not a "real" GT.

I wonder if they count free givaways as a sale. They probably do. Why would they just toss it in, unless they had trouble clearing inventory?

Not at all weird; the last couple have been Saturday/Sunday posts (and only Saturday because he was in California at the time).

Played this game for about 5 days and highly disappointed. Posted my ps5 for sale, hopefully to recoup some of my money lost, on getting a system to just play this game.

I gotta do better research next time I make a bold move on getting back into gaming for a franchise I grew up on.

Just a reminder how things used to be...

Surely there are other PS5 games you are interested in now or on the horizon?

I'm glad I didn't buy a PS5 for this, but there are games coming that I'm interested in that won't be on PC for at least a year after and won't be on other consoles. I'll probably get a PS5 at some point.

I almost purchased a PS5 for GT7 and had I Done that I'd be in the same boat, and mad as hell. Besides HFW there is no game on PS5 I'd want to play now, and I've decided after HZD that never again will I play a shooter with a console banana.

Wait what, a 500us console just for one game?, this is weird. I love GT saga but obviously I bought a PS5 for other games too. For this reason is why Xbox Series is not in my list, just for Forza games is not enough.

 

[RACECAR]

Throwing all that money into a console just for ONE game just doesn't come off to me as a smart financial decision. You're basically shorting yourself on potential quality experiences by having such a narrow focus.

 

[05XR8]

This conversation comes up from time to time, about buying a PS console for Gran Turismo. I’ve mentioned doing it in the past. However, it’s pretty difficult to do today, especially with the backwards compatible function. I was going to buy a PS5 exactly for the next GT game, but real world problems happened. I’ve got a PS5 now and have added some of my games from PS4.

I’m speaking as a person that has bought PlayStations for GT and it’s not about a smart financial decision. Buying just about anything but food and something that pays you back, are not smart financial decisions. This is essentially a hobby. A person buying one r/c toy for the same amount of money, has not made a smart financial decision. People spend how they want for what they want. Whether any other person understands it or not.

Yeah wasn’t to smart on my part, it was a spur of the moment, saw a ps5 on a target pick up near me and just went for it.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I've bought every version of GT but when I bought a PS4 and then PS5 it was for other games and I picked up GTS and GT7 as I went along. There's plenty of good games on the PS4/5 to play.

Thing is, you can enjoy a hobby and still spend smartly. Hobbies don't have to be stereotypically mindless and emotional decision making, there are still ways to make the most of it while still having a smart financial mindset that isn't solely exclusive to food, rent and utilities.


I'd say this is a very good time to bring this topic up purely due to the absolute insanity of this year's inflation and it's pretty a good time for many to really reevaluate their priorities or at the very least weigh out different options for a number of things, one of which includes how they enjoy their hobby.

Tbf, I went into buying a PS4 just for that, but then games that release at a later date end up in my library.

You'd be stretched very thin, hair follicle thin to find someone with only one PS4 / PS5 title on their shelf lol

 

[hyperspeed980]

I miss Top Gear Test Track lobbies. I miss measuring my 1/4 times at Route X. I miss people actually giving a damn about drag racing in GT.

I mean, just look at this:

Christ, it's no wonder they killed off the drag subforums for GT7.

Like I said, speaking for myself, it wasn’t mindless spending. I love cars. Gran Turismo was a dream come true. I had a PS1 and games for that system, before GT came out. When GT3 was coming, I got a PS2(a few actually one Japanese, two USA) specifically for that. Same with PS4, but as we know, delays. I believe I wouldn’t have bought those systems, if Gran Turismo didn’t go beyond GT2.
I was at a stage where I was making good money and wasn’t impulse purchasing. Think I’ve mentioned the other systems(Dreamcast, Game Cube) I bought for various reasons.

Your second point, exactly. I was fine to wait for a PS5, maybe by next year. That’s if PS5s were still in short supply. By chance and it may seem like an impulse, I was prepared to place a deposit and be put on a waiting list. However, the PS5s were available. So, I bought one. My other hobbies aren’t going anywhere.
Financially, I’m in a good place, but I don’t spend like I used to. I‘m content with the things I have.

It‘s a bit different to buy something you want and then wish you didn’t, only after the fact of a weak product. However, if it was something a person wanted and have the means that, financially, leave them where they are, it’s probably not a problem for that person. Eventually, that person was going to buy it.

Yes. That’s why I mentioned it doesn’t really stand up as a sole reason to buy a next gen console today(with backwards compatible, as an example).

You are simply wrong, I jumped from ps4 amateur to ps5 and even that most games are crossgen difference is massive
