You said how many credits with a clean race, so that's what I answered :P

Its 200k without. 10 laps.
Thanks.
I asked just to be sure because there are some races that dont have clean race bonus.
I think I will drop tokyo wtc600 since this update partially killed tunning and go with sardegna wtc800 from now on for farming cash.
 
No, but there is plenty of evidence that this is PDs doing.

  • Only one other current Sony title has MTs. If Sony really want to make more money with their games, why only GT7 and MLB? Why don't any others have them? Surely if Sony were doing it, they'd force it in far more.
  • This is the same PD who in 2005 planned to release GT HD with next to no content and then charge you individually for cars, tracks and car damage for a total up to $1000 in an iTunes like service. That wasn't industry standard back then, that was 100% PDs idea. If anything, it was Sony who told them to scrap it after the huge backlash.
  • Sony are the ones who actually list car selling on the store. PD don't.

There is zero, and I mean zero evidence this is down to evil Sony and plenty of evidence it's PDs doing.
While your explanation makes a lot of sense, the jaded part of me finds it difficult to believe that a publisher the size of Sony, especially given that they aren't particularly player-friendly, would stop a developer from overmonetizing a game. I don't believe for a second there's an ounce of good will in the upper echelons of AAA gamedev. No money is ever enough for them.
Still, publishers can have a degree of power over what's included in the game, which would explain why GT7's Roulette makes no sense without monetization. Nothing aside from a publisher's no-no was stopping Polyphony from monetizing the hell out of Roulette like they obviously intended to.
 
It happened to me also, had to restart the game but fortunately it did count the win and I still got the credits, had no issues during the race itself however
Yeah fortunately it did the same for me and luckily saved. Hope they fix it as I think it's my new favorite race.

True, of course Sony want to make as many dollars as possible but they also have to manage backlash and negativity around what they do. Some things they've done over the years they've had to walk back, like any publisher has. Some things are just too much.

On the flipside, the evidence suggests that they are not pushing every monitisation possible on all of their developers. Horizon Forbidden West released at the same time as GT7, it has no monitisation. Now yes, it's a single player game only but that doesn't stop other publishers, if they really wanted to push it they would have told Guerilla to put "quick skip" packs for in-game currency, and/or made it slower to earn in-game.

The fact they don't do this in any of their games is all the evidence I need it's a developer decision that Sony just say yes or no to. There is no forcing, as people keep insinuating because they can't possibly believe PD could be this evil.

Again, it's like they forget the plans for GT HD that PD came up with.

 
Given complaints about how cars added to GT7 are consistently at three a month, some statistics about car updates in GT Sport:

In this state, I think Forza 8 could dish up the floor with GT7, without problems. Next spring will be interesting.

As I formerly said, it need no expert to read here in this forum and take up the biggest points. It’s so simple, but instead that, Kaz brings useless updates.

am i the only one who unironically enjoys gt7? It has its own flaws but is a great game
Itś not bad, but it certainly could be so much better, if they would hear to the community.

Not difficult option for example would be, to build a feedback site on GT Homepage.

but as it seems they don’t want to do what the community Want. It’s ridiculous.

GT7 is a good racing game, but a bad Gran Turismo.
I'm sticking to a *terrible racing game and a *terrible Gran Turismo

The thrill of racing in sport mode (especially race B) is there. But driving on repeat the same car on the same track gets boring after a while.

Give GT7
  • a matchmaking and track rotation like Forza Motorsport's
  • a career mode
and everything changes for the better.

GT7 is a great driving game, but a poor racing game, at least offline.

This game might have a second life once the servers go down, if an event creator mod can be made for it, and you can choose which AI to use (Maggiore endurance for example), it would really make the racing more fun.

I wonder if Kaz ever races against the AI, there’s no way he doesn’t blast by them and win every time. If he does, I can’t imagine he doesn’t want better AI?

But honestly, he probably either plays online, runs time trials, or doesn’t play at all.

The game would be much better if every race had the Maggiore AI for Hard difficulty (or maybe a 4th difficulty with all the chilies).

If he does, I wonder if he thinks there is any problem with the AI blocking, suddenly changing course in unexpected ways, not following normal racing lines, or hitting him from behind after he hits the AI in front of him because it's slammed on the brakes a couple hundred feet before necessary.
