Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Lomic]

It would be cool if it had four tracks, one for each of the first four games and playing on them automatically unlocks them on GT7. Won't happen of course, but it would be cool.

One can dream 😌

I expect GT Spec 3.0, nothing less.


Mmmm Yeah.

 

[hamishl]

Hopefully like previous related versions of GT (e.g. GT4 prologue) you’ll at least earn some credits or prizes that transfer to the real game

I don't get people's optimism around new content appearing in MFGT.

It's a GT7 demo. Its target audience is explicitly people who won't know if the content in it is new-to-series or not because they haven't played the series.

I'm basically 100% with you.


What I am gonna say though that if I was in charge of the demo and was maybe sitting on some unreleased content I'd put it right in there to:

A: Generate a lot of buzz around my demo and getting your base excited is a good way to do that.

and

B: Put out some impressive PR afterwards like how many million downloads your demo got.



I don't think it's gonna happen mind you, but there is some logic behind that line of thought.

Think “My First Gran Turismo” is Kaz’ first Gran Turismo? Was thinking he was Thirty years old when Gran Turismo released and it’ll be the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. The GT franchise has always been his vision. Just wondering if he’s put together the best not only from gathered player data, but what he liked in the franchise.

Just an example of the teaser showing the first Countach. It’s a bit odd because his first car was the R32 GT-R. Won’t be long until we find out. Should be interesting.

When I first heard of that, I though we could get a gran turismo 1 themed update in gt7, with cars from from gt1 and tracks like autumn ring or ss route 5. But thats probably dreaming too much.

People like setting themselves up for disappointment so they can keep having something to moan about.

Speaking of content, when did Grand Valley South get added and how have I never noticed it?

NOT that bloody Mariah Carey song!!

All I want for Christmas is youuuuu SOPHY!

At the same time as the full layout. February 2023 going by the trailer archives.

...Wow was it really that long ago?

Yes. 2024 we only got one track => Eiger Nordwand. The previous track we got goes back to november 2023.
Track wise it's been really disappointing for GT7 i think.

I really wish they would share their plans for the future. Is GT7 something they are going to build upon indefinitely or are they working on something new within the next few years? The game's 3 year anniversary is coming up and I think it's about time they give us something to look forward to in the series more than just some chase the rabbit events and some cars every month-ish. Maybe that demo will be a catalyst for interviews where the series' future can be asked about.

It's a demo for Gran Turismo 7 - the possibility of there being content for it that doesn't come to GT7 might be so far below 0 it contains ancient brain-eating worms. Like glacier water. This analogy makes no sense. Sorry.

So sorry i disturbed you.

I have the same feeling. I finally want endurance races in the game. When are we going to get more missions? Those weekly special events are fantastic but i wish they would make them available in the main game.
I mean it's nice to have regularly updates, even after a lifecycle of almost 3 years. But this game can and could be so much more. They took alot away from us and i fear it's never coming back.

This would make sense to me IMO. But the likelihood is probably 0%

In the end you’ll end up chasing rabbits anyway. Something else to look forward to will only provide a temporary distraction from that.

Little bit of a rant but man. As a single player experience, GT7 is a deeply unserious game. Starting you at the back with massive gaps between each car, it’s legitimately disrespectful to the player’s time and an insult to be considered as good for a racing game from PD’s side.

I struggle to imagine that the designers genuinely think this is good, so I’m left with it being intentionally like this with no care on replicating actual racing.

Design work this poor would be laughed out of any other SIE studio. Whoever’s making these calls needs a boot up the bum to actually do quality work.

I’m sure they’re capable of it but simply choose not to - and that is not acceptable. This stretches back to even GT6, GT5 to an extent. At least with GT1-4, the cars were much closer together at the start.

The complete disrespect of the player’s time genuinely makes me angry. It’s no fun to play time trial with mobile chicanes with the top 3 being actually decently quick (sometimes) but rubber banded to all hell so you can actually catch up.

How is this acceptable from a AAA studio? It wouldn’t even pass for indie teams. The core of this game is golden, surrounded by a rotting carcass of a single player mode.

To the PD design team - I mean no ill will, nothing personal, but professionally, get your **** together and make a competent single player mode. If I can, then you certainly can.

****, I will literally work for free if I could just to give this game a single player it deserves. I want a good single player so badly and I know it can’t just be me who feels the same.

Come on guys. Play some custom races with a grid start and a mixed starting position. Then put together a good single player.

I genuinely hope I can one day work at PD’s design team or that they hire someone capable of making a good career - or the current team get their heads out of the sand, because sadly, as it is, I don’t see it getting better single player wise. It’s been like this for years and the special events are mostly more of the same.

I love this series but the single player is just not good.

And if this is Kaz’s decision and he sees no problem with it, mate, it might be time to retire from designing the career. This isn’t it.

Long old post, but needed to get that out. Just disappointed and sad.
