Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Shingo_civic]

I didn't fall for anything. Do you think I fell for something when I bought GT7? Forza Motorsport is a completely better as a racing game. Again, you haven't played it. You are a Troll.

I've downloaded FM8 since i have 3months of gamepass for free with the new pc i bought and honestly compared to GT7 it's complete dog**** wherever you look at it,be it physics,graphics,online etc. Especially with the wheel it's so bad... idk how someone can prefer it to GT7

I seriously don't get why people still abide by fanboy drivel like this.
You can like or not like whaetever aspect of either game but there comes a point where you're just making things up for no reason.

The online in FM8 is genuinely leaps and bounds better than what GT7 offers - I think they looked directly at Sport Mode and its complaints and responded to every one. There's race variety, there's car variety, there's frequent track rotations, and there's even lobby features that GT7 desperately needs, like being able to purchase things in lobbies and 'borrow' cars to use that you don't own.

It's the one thing that the game does hands down very well, and to me the dead ringer that anyone bringing it up as a dunk on the game just blatantly haven't even tried to put any effort into objective thinking. The only thing I see people frequently dislike about it is it the penalty system which, if you look at the Daily Races thread here, isn't exactly a unique problem.

This is a wider thing in the modern GaaS game space as a whole, where if a game is derided on either its reveal trailer or its launch, you are almost never removing that negative perception, no matter how much you polish and improve your game.

You can do it for single-player games given enough effort (Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky), but it doesn't work for GaaS, once you screw up the launch you lose your mindshare and it's almost impossible to claw back.

So the lesson for PD is to make sure GT8 both reveals and launches smoothly. They got very lucky bricking the game in that one update didn't hurt them long term, I don't think that'll fly next time.

The problem with fm8 online is that is completely empty and no one is playing the game. So the grid is you and yourself alone. So sad

I see we're still resorting to smack talking games that I pretty much question the smack talkers even actually playing.

Its why I have never subscribed to this Tribal BS, which is made all the more trivial when it pertains to the very niche activity of playing pretend Race cars over the internet.

Nothing I have ever noticed. Maybe depends on what playlist you pick - but every game has that issue with less popular choices. The featured ones always are filled when I race.

They haven’t reduced grids, stop the BS

I have to assume that the people partaking in this type of tribalism rarely ever have anything better going on in their lives, so they cling on to something pathetic like a brand to shape their identity.
