Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Nakano219]

There's only one thing that's certain following that tease.

The February update prediction thread is absolutely going to get very very silly.

Sophy is barely able to do 2 or 3 laps on most tracks, so having endurance with Sophy is just impossible.

The way Jordan said it makes me think next update will be peak. Pikes... Peak. Confirmed!

There will be a lot to talk about even if it's just a cool returning car update, or Eiger Nordwand's other trails, but to invoke Pikes Peak?

Spoiler

...because it's clearly RED ROCK VALLEY TIME!

He was clever enough to say "the next update", not necessarily "the February update."

So on that note, see you all in April or something lol

Gran Turismo 7 "February" 2025 Update Prediction & Discussion Thread

Fine then... Please use this thread to make your predictions for, and discuss, Gran Turismo 7's next update. We're calling it the February 2025 update because... why not? While Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that the updates aren't monthly by design we have grown to expect it. February seems...

Almost fell outta' my chair seeing this post. Need a 💯 with another zero on the end of it

like option.

I'm afraid to move my previous post over to there lol It's something like a wishlist but also loosely grounded in a supposed B-Spec mode in the works? B-Spec mode being added back in would certainly classify as- to use Jordan's word.. Interesting choice in my eyes. And that Kaz has said endurance/longer races are coming? Forever ago, albeit. And from there, it's just some logical deductions on my part. Famine probably cursing Jordan for dropping that vague hint bomb.

Threads will be chaos for a month.

 

[PSN offapple]

See I'm not sure if they would add B-Spec until Sophy A.I. is compatible with all tracks.
I suppose they could though.
If it's a key part to the longer Endurance Missions, then as long as it's available on those Mission circuits it would be fine if it's not available for every other track & layout immediately.

My main hope if those Missions are indeed still on their way, is that they can be repeatable for credits. Though they haven't done that for the ones in The Human Comedy, and that's been out for ages.
Other missions I can understand to an extent not having them repeatable for credits, but the proper races should be.

Will also add a disclaimer, it could very easily be that none of this has anything to do with the next update contents.

There's rumoured to be an upcoming State Of Play in February. If true, maybe something will be shown there if it's particularly juicy?

So i started a custom race for a few cool shots of all my custom civics together and most liveries were not uploaded! This wasn't the case when i was doing that on my pa4! I wonder what changed?

Honestly, was watching onboard Pikes Peak... it's no way PD does this on GT7... talking about rendering, it's so maaaany trees, so much distance to render. PS5 could handle it but no way PS4 does without it looking like Circuito de La Sierra...
Maybe they cut it in half like GT2? But it would be so so awesome if possible on the PS5, amazing track even if only tarmac now.

 

[Goldin]

Pike's Peak could work as PS5 only DLC with TT challenges that wouldn't affect career mode (like LH challenge on GT Sport).

It kind of looks like Trial Mountain. Sure, there's a lot more distance to render, but sometimes it's less expensive to render great distances than to render a bunch of things up close, because at those distances you can't really make out much detail anyway so you can get away with rendering a blur.

Absolutely, look Eiger with the surroundings moutains or Mount Panorama, I don't think it would be an issue.

Dirt Rally on PS4 had the full Pikes Peak (both tarmac and gravel) and it ran fine, so I can't see why GT7 on PS4/5 would struggle with it. They would also only need to render 1 car on track.

 

[PSN offapple]

Also the mixed surface version of Pikes Peak was in the original Colin McRae Dirt, which was the Xbox 360 generation.
Admittedly it's not of the same graphical standards as modern games of course, but it does exist.

The biggest issue for modern development pipelines is unique asset creation, 4K assets take a ton of time to make. It's why city tracks like R246 aren't coming to anything - lots of trackside buildings you have to make in the same visual quality as everything else, none of which you can re-use at all because you need to match the real buildings.

Pikes Peak doesn't have that problem, trees are re-usable and are re-used all the time.

We'll get Seattle some day. And Long Beach would be nice. Need some street circuits. Let me believe!
