Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

"Hating the game", go take my words out of a blue. I hate the way game is handled, after such promises of "returning to original GT"

There is no taking your words "out of a blue". It's the same crap everytime that adds nothing to the discussion. Contrary to popular belief, you can hate the way a game is handled in a far more constructive way then the nonsensical means you repeatedly do (which is why I'm calling you out on it).


BTW, nice response:

DM'd me just to make a locked conversation, such an adult action. Can't handle getting called out? Tough stuff, maybe stop doing the thing you keep doing.

And if you take any statement by Kaz or PD as such a promise, you are setting yourself up for disappointment, that's on you.

If the devs promise the game the will be a certain way and then it turns out not to be, surely you can’t blame the consumer for being disappointed. That’s madness.

Imagine being this bitter about a video game

It’s reasonable to assume people sign up here because said video game is within personal hobby territory. Bitterness is a valid feeling when hobbies fail to align with whatever someone wants from them.

Even not taking Kaz at his word and then seeing what we got, it’s still really not like past Gran Turismos. I mean, some people that have played through the whole franchise and didn’t know what Kaz said about revisiting the past Gran Turismos in feel, still feel GT7 lacks the nostalgia of past games.

Ironically, a game that got a lot of boos is GT Sport and that game feels more nostalgic than GT7.

GT7 has everything we need except for B-Spec and track editor. As many passionate players point out, we just need some kind of organised progression and replayability. We have all kinds of events and yet some major ones lacking for certain cars in the game. There are Championship races from PP 400 -> World GT PP 800 and those feel like they’re cast aside after completion.

The real gems are the Clubman Cup+ events. Those indeed feel like nostalgic GT. Also the attempt with the NEO-CLASSIC Competition races.

Anyway, so many races in the Event Directory and while they’re good in concept, the saying for this game is they’re “executed poorly”.

Yep, the lack of freedom in progression was this game's biggest problem for me. "Career mode" presents you with one menu book at a time, and then provides you with three cars that you can use for each one. Sure, you can go to the used car dealer and pick your own ride, but I was always hesitant to do so because of the chance that a later menu book would provide me with that car for free.

In a "classic" GT, most of the menu books would be available from the start, and it would be on you to acquire a car for each one.


Also, last week I finally learned what everyone meant when they complained that some cars "have no events". I bought some classic racing car for a bonus menu, and thought "I'd like to race this real quick before I turn around and sell it again". That was when I discovered that the Sunday Cup... doesn't allow race cars? Since when is the Sunday Cup not a complete free-for-all? That ain't right.

I was disappointed about gt6 though back in 2015. It didn't have a large variety of modes/races for people to choose from. I know there were 30 tracks and 1,200 cars to choose from but still... it was nowhere near what gt5 had. It had five different leagues you could take part in which was fun. Plus the special events that was available for us. The coffee break challenges were hard as hell to get a gold in too, in gt6.

I do like the menu books in gt7, PD stepped up with this part of GT, I think and the lap challenges/Sport mode events and championships/ GTWS series.

I can't believe it's already time for another gt7 update, seems like we just had one in January.
