Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[bluealpine]

Oh wow, I expected it to be another one of the update cars.

Could you share your update prediction 😉, while PD looks elsewhere?

One thing I'd love for EV's in Gran Turismo 7. The ability to swap the battery. Dunno if that'd be possible.

Generally speaking of course it would be possible.
Both swapping a fixed battery with a different one, or hot swapping a battery during a race instead of recharging.
But for both applications the car either needs to be designed with this in mind from the getgo or requires extensive modification works.

But it makes electric combustion engine noises and mimics gear changes..

Which should make it perfect for sim racing.

I actually miss the GT4 A spec points. that should make the races more fun. that way we will use underpowered car instead using the max tuned cars. or at least the handicap bonus from GT Sport

Though the A-spec points wasn't useful on anything. This aspect of gaining more when driving slower car can be brought back of course, likely utilized for Driver Ratings, Driving Marathon/Daily Workout, outright bonus cash prize (likely using recommended PP to measure), or if there's level stuff.

Just having a laugh. Pikes Peak will never come to GT.. I think. But it would be a very very nice surprise if it that track would be added. Where there is smoke there is...

Yeah bruh it holds the exclusive license smh.... it did appear in GT2.

I like the Ioniq 5 N

Would be better if we could swap them with a petrol engine

Would be better if we could swap them with a petrol engine

I'd say a hybrid powertrain in particular would be perfect.

Doing the Red Bulls at Nordschleife and the steering/FFB is so light on my Fanatec, it's horrible. Is it meant to feel that way? Hardly any resistance when turning the wheel.

I don't think so, no...
I remember driving McLaren MP4/4 and FFB on 5 on my DD+ was brutally powerful I really liked it!
Now it is, just like said, same as riding a bicycle at 10 km/h 🙄

November : Colorado Scapes
December : Hyundai N & Polyphony Digital collaboration cars ?
January : Pikes Peak ? Let see first if the Elantra N comes in its TCR or PPIHC version in December first (if its come...).

Something of potential note is that no new circuits are being used in the upcoming live event, as there's no TBD slots. This can mean 2 things.

1: There simply isn't a new track in the next [presumably December] update. This is the most likely outcome.

Or

2: There is a new track, but it's one that isn't suitable for normal competitive racing, such as a Pikes Peak point-to-point. This is far less likely, but possible.

The Ioniq 5 N being added brings me hope that they'll add more modern Kia/Hyundai cars like the Elantra N, Kona N, EV6 GT and the Kia K5 GT(my current car)

I'd be down for them to add the K4 as well, since I have its almost-immediate spiritual predecessor, a 2023 Forte GT-Line. But I'd especially love to see the Hyundai Veloster N, too, and even the turn-of-the-millennium Tiburon. I wonder if we could get the newer Genesis G80 Sport, too? Though I'm confident we'll also get that Genesis prototype racer that's in development as we speak - either in GT7, or in a later installment; surely at some point regardless.

 

[Ande3200]

Hyundai’s Ioniq are the ugliest new cars around, and I’m getting sick of all these soulless EVs in racing games. 🤮

Hopefully there’s more to come.

100% agree with this.

More EVs ? Yes of course 🤣

I've seen a neighbor's Ioniq 5N, and my goodness it's a lot more imposing than the photos portray.

I'll just set aside my judgement until we all get to play it next month.

Hyundai care about Australia too you know.

so no December update!! where is my first gt!???

 

[Canucks_9419]

It's... Separate from GT7 entirely?

 

[Nakano219]

so no December update!! where is my first gt!???

It'll either get announced tomorrow (for the 30th anniversary of PlayStation) or at the weekend (at the GTWS finals).

Not too much longer to wait.

 

[Meythia]

If it is a demo to a game it wouldnt make much sense to put it into the game.

 

[Fezzik]

Likely coming this weekend when the World Finals is on.
Probable disappointment coming for those expecting big things - it's likely just a version of the time-limited trials they offer for other games. Made to introduce new players, not to add content for existing players.

 

[MIE1992]

I've been thinking more about the idea of new groups, especially since we can clearly see that many of the current groups don't necessarily entail cars that raced in the same group. The most obvious example being the Toyota GT-One TS020 being in the same group as modern Super GT GT500/DTM racers, but funny enough, I'm actually enjoying this sort of weirdness, even if it means notable changes in power/weight to make certain cars competitive. I'm also still unbothered by the sheer variety of Gr.1, especially since I think any issues could be addressed simply by having more events that limit players to certain selections of racecars within a certain group. Just as we've seen Gr.1 events that specifically focus on the Group C racers.

Ah, but I digress. I really do think there should be new groups for other race cars, of the especially historic variety. I maintain the notion that there's really just two groups that I think would be great: a "Gr.1V" and "Gr.3V," with the V standing for "Vintage." For the former group, you'd see racers like the Porsche 917, Ford Mark IV, Jaguar XJ-13, and the Ferrari 330 P4. Whereas in the latter, you'd see the Alfa Romeo TZ2, the Shelby Daytona Coupe, the Ferrari 250 GTO, etc.

 

[GlamFM]

No December update is surprising to me.

Bummer.

 

[Fezzik]

Little bit of GT in here

 

[Saidur_Ali]

They should have added Gran Turismo navigation sounds as an option.

 

[GlamFM]

Still no Christmas music?

Still no Christmas music?

Should be the 10th presuming it follows 2022 and 2023.
