Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[ShiftingGears]

I see this comment often, but it’s a weird comment because it implies that new cars hold back development on new circuits. I don’t think that’s the case.

They dont have infinite money , Resources that they put into modelling new cars are resources they aren't allocating to tracks.

Plus they have different team members for that purpose. Artists working on cars aren't simultaneously working on tracks.

This is very much an awards ceremony for Sony to celebrate and deepen ties with Asian third-parties these days, it's not the scene for Sony first party stuff to show up any more.

You'll notice there's no Astro Bot in the 2024 awards either.

This is new to me. I'm trying to access the Gran Turismo website on Chrome and it says it is not secure. Is anybody else getting this warning?
Is this related to the recent data breach of the Playstation network?

Got it. So it must be because I'm on OS X 10.15.7 and I can't get security updates anymore. The same message appears on Firefox, Edge etc...

On smartphone I have no problem.

 

[RACECAR]

Works just fine for me on Chrome (both on desktop AND phone)

I'm not especially knowledgeable on the Apple software lifecycle so I don't know about that exact revision, but in general you really shouldn't be connected to the internet on a machine that no longer gets security updates. If that's true I would upgrade ASAP.

 

[SuperSportX]

Not sure if this was mentioned but I just realized the widebody of the latest Mitsubishi Lancer is the same one from the GT5/GT6 Lancer 'Touring car'

 

[tankuroded]

Anyone knows what the GT Auto bumpers for the HiAce are based on?

They are based from previous year models, not the aftermarket ones.

After all, that generation of HiAce spanned from 2008-2017.

No, it's not.

I'd like to see Custom Races improved, and especially the requirement to own multiple copies of the same car just to be able to run different liveries.

At the moment, one can race against a full field of the same car (with the same livery), so creating 'temporary dupes' is clearly not the problem. But if you want these to have custom liveries, they need to be selected from the garage with the livery already applied. Being able to create temporary duplicates and apply different liveries would make Custom Races much easier/quicker to set up.

-

I also thought about one-click car upgrades, and figured that the Tuning shop could have car-specific tuning packs, like Manthey for the Porsche 911. That would be pretty cool, and much easier than manually adding parts and then tuning the car.

In theory this shouldn’t be too hard of a feature to implement. Cars already have settings sheets, and in Brand Central you can swap between colors on the fly in the showroom. You’d basically just have a “saved style”, which would implement one of your saved liveries, tune sheets, and combination of GT Auto parts. The pieces are already there, it’s a matter of stringing tabs and code together to make this a feature.

Funnily enough NFS Underground 1 from 2003 has a similar feature in splitscreen, where they can modify the car from the car selection screen, or load from one of five or eight saved presets (limited by 6th gen console era memory cards at the time).

 

[Hdbd04]

Real nice tease, PD.

(EDIT: I can't help but think that this shot appeared when the other shots for the individual cars are in-game shots. Could this be one, considering that Suzuki VGT shot might be a scapes shot?)

I'm sure there'll be someone out there drawing car-shaped constellations to try and find the silhouettes...

If you draw lines in the sky you’ll only get Skylines.
