Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Conquerer]

Quick question: The Day 1 Viewers Gift campaign question for a 1M credit reward is up, asking you from which region the Online Series World Finals winner came from. When I Google this, the event that's happening right now in Monaco comes up... Is this asking us to predict the region of the winner of this current event (in which case it's worded terribly), or is it asking for the answer of an event which already happened? If the latter... who won and from which region, might I ask?

Nobody has won yet because the event is happening right now. Again, this is covered in the thread for this exact topic.

I didn't get a chance to race the "new" Silvia at lunchtime, not that they fascinate me that much anyway, but I did put the M2 and the Cossie around Brands for a couple of laps each.
The Cossie as purchased is a bit sluggish compared with modern stuff but suitably tail-happy on it's road tyres. Very quiet though, almost no audible engine noise on the TV (probably better through the amp when I have time). The second I tuned as far as I could go and it's on RS tyres. That just about kept up with Gr4 saloons and also sounded much better.
The M2 was pretty nicely balanced and quite quick, even in stock spec. I'll be throwing some credits at it this evening, I reckon it could be a proper little weapon.

Ah ok, I clicked the other World Finals topic and didn't see it in there, missed the other one oops.

But yeah, as I kinda expected... very foolish timing to let people vote for this already when there is no answer yet.

I'm an idiot for my previous comment about car selling paying peanuts. I commented on it without fully exploring the feature myself.
I apologize for my ignorance.

I'm interested in following cars' selling prices over the next few weeks. These fluctuations are pretty wild.

Take the the KTM X-Bow R '12 for example - initial price of precisely 100'000 Credits.
One week ago it was 37'530 Cr., with a low of 37'040. It currently sits on 49'900 Cr.
That makes for as little as 37,5% and as much as 49,9% of the car's initial price.

The McLaren F1 '94, one of the 20-million elite, is now at 11'193'450, but is seen at 12'710'310 8 days ago. 63,5% if I'm counting this right, which I probably am not. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The Jaguar F-Type Gr.4 - 350'000 initial price. 85'590 Cr. 8 days ago, which is 24,4% of its initial price.

I wonder what is the base percentage of a car's initial value for this system. While I don't mean to be negative, I really don't like how cars inherently lose a huge chunk of their value immediately on purchase. Oh well, these percentages can get much, MUCH better than I expected.
Also, the Appraisal menu desperately needs a better way of navigation than just the gigantic 400+ list. A Garage-like grid option would be great.

If you skip the immediate loss of a car's value on purchase, this is... actually well done all in all. But I still don't get why this needed 9 months to make

Ever bought a real car brand new? This is exactly what happens. Sell it after a year and it'll be below 50% list price.

Wish I didn't need the game for these, otherwise I'd be all over it just to give myself some freebies for when I get the game.

Yeah but that doesn't apply to classic cars which lately have had a tendency to go up in value.

[PSN offapple]

Mazda LM55, just because I knew it would be the easiest car to get the win with. Used fuel map 6 to get the race done in 2 stops

Ok, so we got car selling, and I want to suggest a next thing to complain about. It came to me when I tried to simply put a license plate on my new Sierra. Had to abandon that idea because applying any decals or even changing a colour would remove the factory decals. What's the deal with it? Just reapplying those with user-made decals is not a solution, those usually have way lower resolution than original ones, and you would also need to spend some time properly scaling and placing it. I think factory decals shouldn't get removed when we change car's colour/apply other decals. Or even better, give us an option to remove/reapply those factory decals.

I just won a tokyo wtc600 race without penalties or car damage and got only 550k.
Appears PD took the clean bonus from tokyo wtc600.
I just knew it. I said it here months ago. PD would use the ability to sell cars as way of nerfing tokyo (i dont know if they nerfed the other 3, gonna do them after).
PD gives with one hand, and takes with the other...

Yeah I've heard this today from a couple of friends, not good! Wonder how it stands with the other three money makers.

Absolutely its called depreciation and is a real effect in the car industry - hence why used cars are cheaper than brand new !

 

[KAlex122]

So did they only nerf the Tokyo Grind CRB or the other 3 grinding races too?

 

[Doncarlone]

Did you pass an AI during a yellow flag?

There were no yellow flags

Did the other 3 high paying races after tokyo and did them also clean, with no penalties and no car damage.
Can confirm they are ok, got clean races bonus in all 3.

Since I got the X2019 25th for free, I'm contemplating on whether to sell the X2019 Competition from golding the license tests or not. On one hand, it's free money and the credits I'd get is great. On the other hand, It's a free 3 million car.

Same idea on my side.

What do you think ? or maybe we could wait until it's value went up a bit ?

I like the idea that someone at PD suggested they combined one of the worst driving cars with THE worst track in the game to celebrate 25 years of Gran Turismo and everybody went: “brilliant”.
