Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[RobertHammer]

Some people will never be satisfied , even if they added all tracks that GT had , they will still be asking for that Moon base track (which doesnt exist)

also like with cars , it is subjective - for example i like Fuji but i know many hate it

if it was up to me besides adding original GT tracks , i would added all those remaining Super GT tracks - Sugo , Motegi and Okayama

 

[HarVee]

Lol. A track on the moon is not the bar a simulation game should be aiming for. There's nothing wrong with having a track that is simply set on the planet Earth.

Laugh all you might, but you know what I mean. PD has shown more creativity for tracks in prior installments and while I too prefer tracks based on earth with a sense of believe, a moon track proves how abstract and creative PD can be.

They have the ability to make some rather interesting tracks when they're able to bend the rules of what constitutes as a race track. But with their current mindset and design philosophy all the tracks in the Post-PS3 era begin to feel and look the same.

Given some of the collision physics in GT7 we might as well be driving on the moon.

Next Update have to come next week or the days after world final.
At the week of world finals makes no sense, when they get inside bugs maybe and have to bring a correction update the week after. So when there no silhouettes coming on this Sunday’s, certainly at first at weekend of finals new one.

Exactly, nowadays for example Deep Forest is a generic one, for me the unity of the track is gone. The name doesn’t match anymore. The three atmosphere got cut and it’s boring now.
I like the special tracks from GT in the past. It was really unique

 

[RobertHammer]

Time to bring it back

Sure, but if you're talking about a real world track that all sort of goes out the window, no? If it's a real world track then you're more or less stuck with the environment that it's in. "Creativity for tracks" hardly comes into it. You could do something with the stands, crowds and other race weekend paraphernalia, but GT is typically very reserved in this manner.

Saying that Road Atlanta, a real track with a significant history and multiple great racing layouts, feels "generic" compared to fantasy tracks on the moon is just silly. Real tracks are never going to be in as exciting a setting as a fantasy track, even one that's not a pants-on-head stupid comparison. But they have other things going for them.

Watkins Glen is also "pretty generic", but it's a great track to drive with a range of cars and it has a significant history that makes people want to race on that track specifically. The fact that it's in the middle of some grass and trees with nothing particularly visually outstanding is neither here nor there - that's how the track is.

I agree that Polyphony's modern original tracks have been less visually exciting than some of their past stuff, although it's also worth remembering that some of their past stuff was pretty mediocre as well. We tend to only remember the highlights, but these are still the dudes who made Cape Ring. However, real tracks are something else.

If you didn't include any real world tracks that weren't visually outstanding to the level of competing with stuff like Eiger or Kart Space then that would cut you out of including just about every famous race track that exists. The vast majority of them just don't have great scenery, because very few real world race tracks get built where they are because of visual spectacle.

What you're functionally arguing for is "no real race tracks", and I think that's bad.

 

[Samus]

Given the hit and miss quality of their original circuits these days I'd be very content if they just added real world tracks. They are still missing so many good ones.

I mean, look at Saint Croix. Hardly the most beautiful track surroundings, is it? A blank slate is no guarantee of something interesting. Nowadays it just seems to mean huge cambered corners, bridges and tunnels.

 

[RaY29rus]

So, judging by the lack of silhouette teaser by Kaz, I assume the update is going to be on an usual schedule, not one week early, like last time. Either that, or we won't get any cars this time

 

[GTboyz]

LOL Kaz also said the logo is wrong.

Expect a 1 year delay.

Some guy over on twitter posted same schedule as last month and commented`its a matter of days`,whatever thats supposed to mean.

 

[Galvston]

love how OCD this kaz fella is

 

[hyperspeed980]

love how OCD this kaz fella is

I'm starting to think that's why we don't have night and rain on more tracks. Because unless Kaz can perfectly recreate the exact constellations in the sky and the exact meteorological data at each location, he won't be satisfied.

Still doesn't explain why Dragon Trail Gardens has rain but not Seaside, or why Tokyo East and Central have rain but not South.

 

[RaY29rus]

Yeah, that's why I kinda expected to see the teaser today, but oh well, kinda impossible to actually predict what they are going to do, for all we know they could've decided to delay the update a minute before Nenkai posted his prediction.

 

[Pearl Jam]

Good luck with getting that FK invitation. Still Waiting on that one since March.

Wait, WHAT ?? you can’t just buy cars in game even if you’ve grinded for eternity? You have to be invited to buy one ? Man this game is more messed up than I thought and thank Cantona I didn’t take the plunge on a PS5

 

[MIE1992]

I really wonder what other automakers could join the Manufacturers Cup, now that we’ve seen the additions of Genesis and Suzuki?

I, for one, would love to see Bugatti, especially since they haven’t done much racing since the mid-90s. But then again, I don’t think there’s a modern Bugatti that’s only rear-wheel drive, either. And I can’t say I’m too fond of the fact that Bugatti’s likely Gr.4 entry is merely a Veyron with its active aero fixed in place. I suppose they could make a Chiron Gr.3, but I just feel skeptical of the whole idea.

Alternatively, I think it’d be nuts not to have Maserati join, considering their very rich racing history. Heck, I don’t even think they’d necessarily need to just throw in the GT3/GT4 variants of the GranTurismo. They could instead maybe have Gr.4/Gr.3 versions of the MC20, and/or the newer GranTurismo that was just revealed. Plus the MC12 race car for another Gr.3 option.

Bentley seems like a solid candidate, too, as they’d really just need a Gr.4 version of the Continental.

Finally, I could see Abarth and Alpine respectively getting the 124 GT4 and the A110 GT4, but I’d be fine if they end up similar to Bugatti, where there’s no Gr.3 car to make them eligible for the Manufacturers Cup.

EDIT: And we can’t forget that Lotus will likely be a contender, either, as I think both a likely Gr.4 and Gr.3 car have been seen in the datamined list.

EDIT2: I also recall that Renault wants Alpine to be the face of their sportier cars, hence the change of the F1 team for example. Maybe Alpine could replace Renault as a choice, not unlike how I understand Genesis replaced Hyundai. All we’d need, though, is a Gr.3 Alpine model. Maybe a made-for-game A110 Gr.3?

…or maybe PD intentionally pranked Nenkai

peace @Nenkai 😁✌️

As for Bugatti, I think a Chiron Gr. 3 is the most logical choice, although they're going to have to make it look significantly different from the VGT, because well, the Chiron in its infancy was actually the VGT. I originally thought a Veyron Gr. 3 would do, but it would look rather much outdated. Rumor had it that they considered the VGT for Gr. 3 back in the days of GT Sport, but then changed it up to be a Gr. 1 version instead, leaving Bugatti with no other option besides the Veyron Gr. 4.

Maserati on the other hand, is picking up popularity in the series as we saw the likes of the A6GCS/53 Spyder and Merak SS, after years of the brand being lonely with the GranTurismo S. As for Gr. 3 the obvious choice would be the MC12 GT1 (then again, we really do need more GT1 cars in the Gr. 3 category, with the McLaren F1 GTR - BMW and Aston Martin DBR9 being the only ones featured so far, and ironically, FIA GT1 was my favorite GT racing category growing up).

I'd also like to add in Kia being a good candidate for the Manufacturers' Series, as they could make Gr. 3 and Gr. 4 versions of the Stinger. It makes sense given Hyundai owns both Genesis and Kia, and that the Stinger is a direct cousin of the Genesis G70, so if we had a Stinger Gr. 3 and Gr. 4, then all three of South Korea's biggest manufacturers will be able to do battle together.

Assuming Lotus makes it in, other highly-requested brands such as Koenigsegg and Opel should also be considered, with models such as the CCGT (Gr. 3) and Agera Gr. 4, and for Opel, the Astra V8 Coupe (Gr. 3 - both in 2000 and 2003 versions), as well as the recent Astra TCR (Gr. 4).

The funny thing is about Bugatti’s Gr3 option is they HAD planned for the VGT to have a Gr3 version in addition to the Gr1 Version, but only exists as an unused nameplate on GT Sport.

Who else wants to see these beasts back?

...

Anyone? Just me?

 

[05XR8]

KTM should have been in the Manu Cup.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Just checked the end credits. 44 car modellers. That's 88 cars per year or just over 7 a month. Why are we missing 3 or 4 cars a month.

 

[Tired Tyres]

No i just find them boring and the music sucks not my style of music.

A cash reward would at least help me withstand the horrible music.

Keep them until servers are down. The cafe missions are how you progress through the campaign.

Do you use cockpit view? If so hit start during a race go to cockpit view and select wobble type 2. Every track becomes more interesting.

Ready for GT8 in a few years

 

[Nathan88]

Are you using a trophy tracking website for those %? Those are always skewed towards singleplayer games. If you want the accurate numbers you have to check in the console (where RDR2 has 26.8% for the epilogue, and GT7 on PS4 28.9% for completing the Cafe). Unfortunately I don't have a PS5 so I can't check GT7 PS5 numbers.

On PS5, 'Finale' which is Fullfilled requirements for ending, is 27.6%.

 

[PSN offapple]

Of all brands that should be in the Manufacturer Cup, but currently aren't, I put before the court TVR.
A brand that was one of only a handful to have been in the original Gran Turismo on PS1.

For cars, Gr.4 could be a return of the Tuscan Speed 6 Touring Car from GT5&6.
Gr.3 could be the debut of the new Griffith, perhaps with a livery that's a modern take on the old Cerbera LM Race Car

Not a fan of cockpit view in gt7 yes you can raise the height and move it back a little but its still to low and to close to the steering wheel for my taste it makes me feel like im in a tight box with no escape.

Music rally would be cool if you could add your own playlist.

EDIT - reason why i always have to edit my post.

I'm not a fan of cockview in general. It just.... puts me off stuff.

 

[KAlex122]

To mix up grinding a bit i want to use the birds view sometimes instead of the bumper cam so that i can see these beautiful cars from time to time. Which setting do you guys use for it?

 

[MIE1992]

Hey, I also had a question. When you install a Stage 5 Weight Reduction, is it necessary to install the other weight reduction stages before/after you install that 5th stage? I’m wondering because I had one for a few cars - including the Jaguar F-Type R and the Aston Martin One-77.
