Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Voodoovaj]

I read through the disappointment and I simply have to shake my head. These last several updates have been fantastic, if you bothered to look past the surface announcement.

People complain that we don't get race cars, but we got the Escort RS that can be modified into a full on race car. This month, it gets a full race engine for those who want it. So, ONE CAR (among many), can go from showroom perfect to full blown race car, and y'all want MOAR?

This month (I'm paraphrasing) "boo hoo, we don't get us no race carz". Yet, we got the 205, which like the escort, can be fully modified. I suspect an engine swap is coming in the future.

And, as expected, the Unimog is a HOOT!! The smile on my face once I took it to GT Auto. I literally laughed out loud from the happiness. It was involuntary. It made me GIDDY!! Now, granted, you may know of the current issues that Canada is having with our neighbours, and I am sure that factored into my excitement. Still, what is the price for this happiness? NOTHING. It's free with my original purchase from (and this seems to be constantly lost on ungrateful people) THREE YEARS AGO!!!

What kills me is that I often see post complaining about the cars being offered, especially comments about "no race carZ ", and I rarely see the same people commenting in the daily race thread. You know the thread, right? The one where the guys who like to race hang out. If you don't race, then why do you want a "race car"? The definition of which is still unclear to me.


I 100% see the wisdom from PD and Sony, They are making the game better for those who appreciate the game. The 12 million or so who appreciate what this game offers. I want to be clear, I have my complaints, but the monthly update isn't one of them. On this point, the problem is YOU not them.

Both RaceRoom and Assetto Corsa plays great with a controller for example.

Is that so...?

I never tried any of those, but after all I was reading and hearing about that topic I got the impression, that both are not very playable with a controller...

But if I ever get back to PC-racing(there are some reasons why I don't like to do that at the moment), I reinstall GT-Legends and take my old steering wheel out of the closet...with the 200(or more) moded race tracks(with all the defunct and lost race tracks of the 1950s,1960s and 1970s) and all the modes cars from that area it can't get any better for me when it comes to racing games....

It’s the companies choice. Absolutely not his call to make.
There is no law requesting companies to be communicative.
There are however contracts and NDAs for employees and contractors..

I didn't say there are laws, I said it feels unprofessional for me.

And that's my last post concerning this, I said what I had to say and I don't think further discussion of this would change anyone's mind.

If you can play GT7 with a controller, then yes, it is very much so indeed. Tokyo Xtreme Racer on the other hand, that takes some getting used to, lol.

That's probably because they're not used to a controller in the first place. That'd be my guess anyway.
