Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[DaveyFT1]

Might be an idea to clear your network data in the game's Options (GT -> Options -> Network).

If that doesn't resolve it, force your console to rebuild its database.

If that doesn't resolve it, uninstall the game and force your console to rebuild its database, then reinstall the game.

OK I'm at my PS5 now. So I'm going try what you said. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Ok, I’ve playing GT7 for 23 days this year. I don’t think I’m playing it all that much, but I guess it all adds up.

You mean 23x24h or 23 times? The wrapup does not show me days, only hours.

24 hours 23 times. I just did my own math to put things into a different perspective. I think days say more than hundreds of hours, as shown in the wrap-up.

374 Hours here.... All of them in VR.

PSVR2 transformed GT7 for me. I love it.

Minor question: between the two Honda Civic Type R models I’ve obtained from the two Honda competitions - where they’re both dressed like Super Taikyu cars - it’s only the 2024 one that has Korone near the front fender, right? In other words, how else would I tell the two apart? They look identical…

6* parts, 100k, 6* engine, 5* and 200k ? 😑

fortunatley I log on for other things, those bonus are not a reason I would log for

even weekly bonus are better most of the time

does not make the season feel special

Yeah, I think those are only for the first week. But, I agree. It was kinda whomp whomp to read that.

However, what else would anyone expect? 10 six star tickets?

5*, 500k, 6* ticket, 1M, 6* car, those are nice bonuses

or even a present car like we had in the past

For sure. To play devil's advocate though, any free tickets are great for newcomers that may have been introduced to the game through MFGT. Proportionally, these awards seem more valuable to newcomers.

This is hilarious hahahaha, rewards like it's costing them real money to hand them out! It's not a real Carbon Brake Disc lads you can be a bit more charitable with it.

You know, someone may have been sitting there thinking "Nah, a 6-star is too generous. Let's give them a 5 instead." and I find that hilarious.

How I see PD with most of their gifts :

 

[BradleyLove]

If the parts and engine tickets were redeemable against cars of my choosing, that’d go a long way to making those tickets less “ugh” when I get one. But I guess I’ll take my whatever part for a Tesla and have it remain forever unused.

New VGT soon

So, the moon is the next track.

I guess for “realism” they’d be EVs.

 

[AlexWilmot]

I guess for “realism” they’d be EVs.

because they’re not “fun”

Brill !..........yeah, you see that looks about right, with the projected debris being thrown up in what is approx 16% of Earth`s gravity UNLIKE the original shots of the Lunar rover doing the same thing way back when,..... when all the crap fell back down to "Earth" ................**** !.... what have i said 😐

 

[magawolaz]

167 hours this year in GT, and I barely added 10% to the car collection.

So you know how some cars only come in a single color, but also can get an engine swap? I'm especially referring to models like the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Nismo, the Ferrari F40, or the GReddy Fugu Z, but especially since they don't have any notable pre-set decals unlike something like the Abarth 595 SS or some colors for the BMW 3.0 CSL '73. I'm thinking of picking another color for each of those former three, namely ones that may be from similar models that come with more color options, so here were my ideas:

Ferrari F40 - Argento Nurburgring (From the F50)
GReddy Fugu Z - Grand Prix Maroon (From the 240ZG)
Nissan GT-R R32 Nismo - Deep Marine Blue (From the R33)

Come to think of it, I had even more ideas!

Nissan Skyline (R31) - Gun Gray Metallic (From the R32)
Amuse Nismo 380RS - Premium Passionate Orange (From the Z33)*

* I know this one technically has pre-set stickers, but I already had swapped one...

EDIT: I was also thinking of re-painting a spare A70 Supra the A80's Super Red IV, but I do really like those stickers on the side.

EDIT2: Then there's also a spare Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evo II that I've also swapped, but I'm unsure of what color I should re-paint it, if at all. Maybe some sort of silvery color?

Edit 2: I like Liquid blue colors and metallic tones of aqua/cyan and pearl oranges and soft greens. On second thought about me saying Gun Gray Metallic being good on a lot of cars, err... I tested it and I'd say it goes well on cars that start with dark colors.

I'm quite interested to hear what random thing Kaz gives away, possibly unintentionally, in his post-GTWS interviews this year once they release.

He's normally good for one new unexpected insight, even if it's not one people are necessarily asking for - in the last couple of years we've had the "city courses take five times as long as stadium courses so don't expect many" tidbit, and the "enthusiasts are driving SUVs more and more so GT needs to cover them" comment.

 

[Clinton Ducks]

"enthusiasts are driving SUVs more and more so GT needs to cover them"

Yeah but that’s only because nobody makes (affordable and decent) sports cars anymore it’s not by choice!

 

[newmedia_dev]

Yeah but that’s only because nobody makes (affordable and decent) sports cars anymore it’s not by choice!

As second cars for "enthusiasts" that now have children and a dog. And let's be clear we "enthusiasts" aren't all running around in Lambo Uras's

 

[Boxster]

Yeah but that’s only because nobody makes (affordable and decent) sports cars anymore it’s not by choice!

Unfortunately it's the other way round. Mazda MX5 is the example of an affordable and decent sportscar, but there is little demand so few competitors.
People want crossovers because they are convenient and there is very little opportunity for sporty driving.
I own a sportscar (guess which one) but live in Amsterdam. In the NL max speed is 100 km/h, 60 (!!!!) on country roads. I have to drive for an hour to get to a place where traffic is light enough to break the speed limit. If I want to have some driving fun I need to drive for 2 to 3 hours to go to the Ardennes or Eiffel. We do that a couple of times per year, but everyday driving fun is out of the question.
