Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[JoaoSilva]

This is one of the strongest car choices we've had in an update in a while, in my opinion. Particularly excited for the Alfa.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Oh what? Well. Well there you go, looks good, but no Nike ONE, and no Midget II, I'll still post this because I spent 15 minutes on it:

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the all-new,
weird Ferrari V-G-T.
One Kei truck I want to own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Add the Daihatsu Midget Two​

It's a pity that there won't be any vintage classic car.

We have plenty of those mate, game is falling behind in terms of newer cars so this is a very good update for that reason.

 

[Islaygaz]

Yep it's the angle, although looks like Nenkai already confirmed the cars while I was making a new comparison

Yea I’ve seen his confirmation and it’s bang on here too so I’m 100% convinced now! 😂

 

[HarVee]

Why do I get the feeling that this set of cars was purposely witheld from launch and have been done for 10 months? I don't know why but I can't shake this feeling.

 

[Dibs]

Wow, definitely didn't expect 5 cars! Nice to see a new Alfa in the game, my highlight of the update. Would have preferred the Bugatti Type 37A that was also in the datamine over Chiron or a EB 110. I personally don't really care for the Corvette but it's really highly requested car, so happy for those who do. Celica is pretty decent.

For a refreshment on the C8 at the World Finals:

 

[oqvist]

Sorry for being late to the party, but does anyone have any guides for winning the Neo-Classic at Willow Springs? I know I can change difficulty to Easy but I really prefer doing it on Hard. It just seems impossible and the AI is just way too far ahead.

Key is finding the right car. I found a nissan GTR 500 GT3 or something like that from 99 and I was just walking through that race where I was killing myself trying to get podium and failing with a old porsche and the audi quattro rally monster! GTR 500 was like on rails where I really had to battle all the off camber corners with the previous cars. Very fuel efficient so I believe I maybe could do it with fuel mapping 1 though fuel mapping 2 is convenient. However the odd thing I want to recall is doing better lap times in the porsche and the audi but the ai may adapt the pace depend on the car type you use??? I didn´t get any clean laps so I was lapping about 1:10 and still won with 25 seconds on first attempt while not pushing like a mad man

 

[Rossell2]

Also, like the IDR, I didn't see the C8 in the datamine. Just need the second gen R8, Aston Vantage and the LFA and I reckon we're cooking.

 

[Samus]

Nice selection of cars, let's see if they finally bring the needed avalanche of events and things to actually do with them.

The Alfa's definitely going to be the first car I'm buying out of the five.

High performance Four doors are the chef's kiss.

It is a good selection, but for some reason I'm expecting 5 or 6 new chase the rabbit races with mediocre payouts. Not sure why I get that feeling .

 

[Baka_Marimo]

Those cars are all nice and all, but what about the Nissan Silvia?

 

[Mariangello]

What interests me the most is whether we will see some snow track even though we all know how bad the rally is in the game. Celica rally car is there, so maybe... Maybe a winter city track?

Guys remember this post I made a while back I told you it meant something with the C8 corvette.

Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

Have you not done in rally in any previous GT game? They've always been like that, sadly. I don't even remember last time i did rally in gt. Question i just lost a 10 lap race at daytona GR1 race when i pitted in lap 9 i only needed fuel can you not tell the ai not to change tires and only...

[RobertHammer]

Honestly don't expect too much like new track , at best those new layouts even those are not 100% for sure

also this pretty much confirms that there will be more C8's in the future which is great

 

[JD_18]

Just a minor change.

They update the page of GT Vision with the new aditions and Copen now has description of the car.

If you want to use the museum as proof, you'll need a whole lot more cars to show up than just the C8. They show off plenty of cars ingame in one way or another, doesn't mean they're coming.

The best actual omen for the C8 was it showing up at GTWS, but even that didn't necessarily mean anything.


Else, I look forward to the Peugeot Type 2.

What on earth is a 3.0-cylinder?

 

[Snake55wildcat]

Christmas songs are live ingame! Not sure when this toggle happened but my game is playing We Wish You a Merry Christmas in the world map.

Always loved this about GT.

And there are a lot of new one's this time too! It really is a Christmas miracle!

Why do I get the feeling that this set of cars was purposely witheld from launch and have been done for 10 months? I don't know why but I can't shake this feeling.

I understand that feeling, there is a precedent for adding cars a long, long time after they're scanned (especially if they win a Gran Turismo Award ). There's no way of knowing how long a car's been finalised for (physics, lighting, LOD etc), but it's logical for their model that many cars sit mostly finished and saved for a future update or set aside for the next game. If PD are still averaging 70-80 cars modelled per year as they seem to have done since GT5 Prologue, then for every three-car-update, two more cars are saved for GT8's launch and one for GT8 updates, I would guess.

Nice selection of cars, let's see if they finally bring the needed avalanche of events and things to actually do with them.

I hope for more than five races this month too, because with our current 165 races, it'll take seventeen 8-race updates (or 8x17-races for an avalanche) for World Circuits to match the 301 events in GT Sport's GT League, and still not thoroughly use half of the game's cars.

Probably because you're a chronic pessimist!

If they've only shown up in the game files in the past few updates, probably a safe bet they weren't finished until recently. Not everything PD does is a conspiracy to drip feed and wind people up.

 

[Samus]

Other than the Ferrari all of the cars are again from before the game released so it's pretty reasonable to assume they were already done, or at least mostly done. We'll never know for certain though.

and still not thoroughly use half of the game's cars.

That will always be the case if all they keep adding are generic "WTC" races which only have a PP limit. We need far more events with tight restrictions like the old games which restricts each one to a certain bunch of cars.

Probably because now that you cannot say 'GT7 should have more recent cars' you are grasping for some other negativity?

Well I wasn't really using anything as proof I saw the c8 zo6 on that picture and I thought it meant something that's all.

In the end we're getting the C8 that's all that matters.

 

[Boxster]

And yet another one who cannot write anything positive about the game even if you hit him over the head with it.

How on earth is "Nice selection of cars" not positive?

 

[Shakengandulf]

@Boxster ignore feature works a treat. Can only deal with it for so long.

 

[Grimm6Jack]

How on earth is "Nice selection of cars" not positive?

He's quite clearly just being obnoxious because you aren't almost literally just fanboying on GT7. Which apparently you need to.

As for these cars, this is probably going to be the best selection of them all, not just because of the quantity but because almost all of them are significant and popular one way or another. Ugly duck for me being, obviously, the VGT.

Hopefully we do get the championships this game critically needs.

It was a guess but you still called it right, enjoy a brownie point on me .

And yet another one who cannot write anything positive about the game even if you hit him over the head with it.

And yet another person who for some reason cannot comprehend that most opinions aren't absolute, a person can make a statement that contains both a positive and negative opinion on something, it's almost like between absolutely loving something and absolutely hating something there's a huge middle ground.
