Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[alex511]

There was also the AMG GT3 Evo at this year's world finals and that has yet to show up in GT7.

And the AMG GT63s, too, with GT-emblem, and driven by Adam Chistodolou.

Seems like they made a PlayStation wrapped sort of thing available here: https://wrapup.playstation.com/en-us/

Not surprised by my result

Well. I feel like both GT63 and AMG GT3 Evo are both possible as future additions for GT7.

GT3 Evo especially since we already got Evo R8 and newer version of Nissan GTR GT3.

Hmmm...

Yet the "total playing time" stat on my page in GT7 says 346 hours playing time.

Most likely the console is counting idle time that the game can filter out maybe?

Ok this is something...Driveclub

It only makes sense to me if it includes periods when I've signed into the game, but the consoles been in rest mode.

346 hours seems reasonable given it's running in the background whilst I'm working on decals, but there's no way I've averaged 2.6 hours a day, every day, since launch... there's been weeks when I've not even turned the console on.

They show global stats as well, for GT7 it says

13
BILLION
Miles driven

1
MILLION
Liveries created

212
MILLION

369

Not sure what happened to that last one though. Can't work out what it's supposed to be.

 

[MroczMR]

And here is mine

Nothing unusual. This was great gaming year.

 

[Nebuc72]

I suppose that happens when you leave your PS idle for most of the day. Oopsy.

My actual racing time stats are far far less than that lol.

 

[MMX]

Zero time online this year. Don't feel bad about letting my PS+ run out.

 

[Fezzik]

over 600 hours of GT7 ?!

I predict next year will be a 50/50 split between Jedi Survivor and Spidey 2

The number of wrong penalties assigned in online racing maybe?!?

 

[snowman_pr]

Thanks to the old Tomahawk days at the beginning and Luca's gratuitous engines at the cafe, this does not surprise me at all 🎄🎄

In all seriousness though, I don't play online but do a lot of hot-laps and time attacks. Tune, test, rinse and repeat. Yes, I do love GT7.

If previous statistics hold out, it'll be photographs taken.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Not bad I only have a month and a few days since I started with gt7

Spoiler

I just wish I could buy the fxx-k

 

[05XR8]

Come to think of it, a brand loyalty system (like the ones Forza Motorsport or Driveclub used to have) would suit this game perfectly. Owning cars from a certain brand, investing money into tuning them, and winning races with them would all increase your level, and in return, you could get bonuses while driving their cars, discounts on purchasing their cars, ability to purchase previously invite-only cars, and at very high levels, access to special parts and swaps.

It would be awesome if, in order to access swaps, you would need to level up both the brand of the car you're swapping, and the brand of the engine that you're swapping into the car.

This might be an even better idea than my Challenges system. This would open up a whole new dimension of GT7!

Indeed. I liked that system in Forza. In GT7, those of us that buy duplicates, it would save so much Cr. to have parts discounted.

In Swedish it says 369 million online races driven, which is a somewhat funky translation of something... Because it cannot be online races.

Yep.

I've just been writing a piece on this and the old stats for GT Sport presented in Paris suggested to me it was races entered. Online... like you, I doubt it!

I wouldn't be surprised if they counted 1 for every person in the race. 20 drivers in one race? 20 online races!

Perhaps it's including all World Circuits and Custom Races given the online requirement to access those.

Edit: Or what @PaMu1337 said, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm down for pulling the invite system. At this point I'd be willing to trade those two Martins for a pound of unobtanium. I might just have to create them on the holodeck.

Guess we won't be getting any more Teslas

My PS5 Year

 

[05XR8]

Well, it’s a bit odd with GT Sport and GT7, there’s nothing offline any longer. The servers go offline, but as long as a player opens the game, they’re being counted. That’s the way I figure it. There no way a player is having hours of play in Music Rally.

 

[ColinNZ]

I may have played an hour or two of this game. I'd say about 200 hours of it is trying t get within 3% of the aliens in the time trials.

 

[GTboyz]

Hmm rookie number for RDR2. I'm predicting it's going to be number 1 next year though.

 

[ZGBox]

Well...
That seems about right.
