Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[GBalao888]

Told you so. I'm not even going to bother booting this game anymore. I'm all against the "Monthly Active Users" metric. For all I know, the entire "passion for cars and racing" has been totally replaced by metrics and keeping the stakeholders happy. Which makes things worse because they are not even trying to milk this huge cow in a better way. So much wasted potential. For gamers, for enthusiasts, for stakeholders, for the brand itself.

Sales are what dictates the success of a game, not monthly active users.

Not sure why you bother posting in this forum then. I, for once, am quite happy with all cars in this update.

on a console where there is a paying option to play online, it is not 100% true though.

...so you'll be done posting about the game then?

Told you so.

The update would be pretty much the same as every other update over the last THREE YEARS? Wow! Nostradamus has nothing on your keen ability to see the future.

We are the stakeholders.

I don't know if you pay attention to the broader world of game development, or the business of games, but it's currently a BLOOD BATH for employment and absolute carnage when it comes to projects and games. Some HUGE budget games have barely survived a month.

Among this horrendous time in videogames, here we are THREE YEARS after launch. I'd say, based on the "Monthly Active Users" and the daily active users, Sony and the team are making the correct choices. They aren't perfect, but I keep coming back for more.

You're not going to bother booting the game? Ok, well, I'm busy trying to get my DR rating back up and I play almost daily. Who do you think will be missed more? People like me, or people like you?

I often wonder about comments like this. What wasted potential is there? A game that is enjoyed by millions of people will, by definition, be imperfect to each individual. I have my criticisms of this game, sure, we all do, but your comments stink of entitlement.

I will wager that while you complain about all that YOU have not gotten that YOU want, you probably haven't bother to explore the vast majority of the game. Where's your photos? Where's you liveries? How's your Sport Mode ranking? Did you even bother to finish the career? Or the licenses? Or the missions? Or the circuit experience?

And, again, I feel this needs repeating, the rest of us are still playing THREE YEARS post launch.

This might be a hot take for those of us here who do not like how things are going with GT ...

Excuse me how can I figure out the grand turismo competition code for racing

There isn't a code. You just enter Sport Mode. Sport Mode unlocks after Menu Book 9.

Anybody recognizes this mountain range or scape ? ( could it be linked to Pikes Peak/Colorado) :,,(

I think it might be an unreleased scape. I tried to find it in the game and the most similar scapes are from national parks in Canada.

I think there was a similar shot last update(?). Taken from a bird’s eye view.

Gut feeling as a GeoGuessr player, it's around Lake Louise in Canada, Banff national park is already in scapes.

Now that the games been out a while, the game needs something like a second season, opening up new levels 51-100, bringing in new career events, 2-4 hours endurance races, championships, events especially for historic cars (those cars that a currently useless), going back to GT1 there needs to be something mysterious event or video that teases GT8 that unlocks upon reaching level 100.

We desperately need more options or customizable parameters in single player. Like after all the 39 menu books we can change every rule in the game, or after unlocking level 50 we can change every parameter/rule in any event. Or make it a DLC! I would pay for it!

Having all cars available as rental cars would be a good start.

I don't think fewer new cars would help with any of that.

Sure, but the resources put into it could be better spent elsewhere

Well we have our first event on redbull short aparently.

Do you want track updates or "the original GT"? Because the original GT was just a game on a disc and you were either happy with that, or put it away and played something else. No complaining about free updates not being to your liking. Besides, no kind of track update will turn this game into an old school GT and you know that.

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.

I want the 'original' GT rules in GT3 but in GT7 graphics & sound. Should be optional.
