Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Old_Setzer]

I may be wrong, but on reddit we have activity from one of the GT7 developer, so it may, or may not mean that we are getting something extra with those 3 cars.

Hi, you have a link to this "developer"?

I'm curious about it, thanks!

It's Ivo van Roij, a technical artist who works a lot on tracks. He's had a Reddit account for about four years, so it's not a recent thing.

What is he saying on reddit?

I quickly skimmed through his comments, mostly just insights on the track environment art he worked on, but this comment stood out.

I’ve explained already that there are reasons why we went with this direction, and that OG GV would never live up to the standards (see my reply about nostalgia). That being said, I’m happy we got to bring this track back to GT, and I’m excited to see everyone’s reactions to the coming free updates.

Considering he's a 3D technical artist who has worked on previous tracks, this comment would seem to imply that something new he worked on is coming soon.

I'm curious if he offered any other fun facts and insights on track development on his reddit account

Does PD think that actual racetracks aren't "interesting" enough or what? I really don't think that mashing together Grand Valley with the California coast did anything for either and I don't think it's just "nostalgia" to say that they really need to get off the trend of fake-looking road courses they keep making lately.

The Olympic Council of Asia has announced that Gran Turismo 7 will be an e-sport title for the 2026 Asian Games:

Look like GT7 will be around for a while.

Hopefully Not!

Well,

The 2026 Asian Games will feature competitions in 41 sports, including esports, and will take place from September 9 to October 4.

I obviously do not know when or if a next GT game will be announced, but even if the next GT is announced next year, probably won't be arriving in before those dates above. If it does then cool. We'll see.

Why?
Any particular reason or just another pointless comment.

The 2026 Asian Games are being hosted in the prefecture where Toyota (the manufacturer) are headquartered, by the way. Toyota (the city) is even hosting some of the events.

I wouldn't be expecting any other manufacturer to be making an appearance in that event.
