Gran Turismo 7 Spec II Revealed: Upgraded GT Sophy AI, New Snow Track, New Cars, and More

[jrwilliam269]

I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic, dry sense of humour, etc... coz there is nothing in GT that simulates racing, for example, unrealistic physics, rubberbanding AI, chase the rabbit scenarios's, no practice and qualifying, virtually all rolling starts, ridiculously matched opponents... it has rubbish racing and does a poor job at simulation and goes out of the way to make the game not fun (content locked behind roulette tickets, and invitations and extreme pricing). I think GT7 can best be described as a car library for enthusiasts...

Ummm that's been every Gran Turismo, are you new or just a troll?? So you want everything handed to you without actually having to race or it be difficult....I have a feeling you'd complain it's too easy if they just gave everything with no effort.....

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the sports and fully customizable suspension on the LFA pretty much nuke it's handling without heavy tuning. If you put the fully customizable suspension on, lower the ride height from stock to 105 mm, as speced by the Nurburgring edition, and then revert all the other settings to stock, the car handles like it's on ice. I haven't experienced this with other cars. Could this be a bug?

I'm pretty sure that "just lowering the car without changing anything else" is not what the Nurburgring edition, or any other edition does, for good reason. You're probably bottoming the car out, just like every other time for the last 2 years someone has asked if this was a bug.

Wide widebody

Complete nonsense, all I wanted for them was to bring back a simple lobby feature where you can see other driver’s specs. You are making it impossible to host any serious racing on this platform, and sooner or later a lot of people will walk away especially when they are able to afford a proper Sim. Is it really so much that we ask for? Did we need emojis? No..? Did we need more photography scapes? Doubt…

 

[Wip3outFan]

How long before we get to swap the LFA's engine into other cars?

You do know that Sport mode is cross compatible, right? If every PS4 owner bought a PS5 and continued with their normal play habits the online experience would remain the same (with the exception of load times in races with PS4 and PS5 owners, as theirs take longer to load in)

From what I remember, PS4 and PS5 players are in separate sandboxes. So anyone you're racing against has the same system as you. Unless I'm mistaken but I remember reading that before and seeing YTers mention it.

Trying to repaint 400R and it doesn't remove the Nismo and 400R badge.

I like that.

Well it's a physical badge after all. But i do think that all badges, physical or stickers should not be removed. Had to manually recreate the default stickers on the new GT3RS today.

@TheOneDonJuan I don't think this is true, i'm on PS4 and race against people who are on PS5.

The game is crossplay, which was a source of lobby connection issues, and I think, while better, there’s still some jitter when playing with PS4 players on PS5.

LFA at the ring. Dat sound!❤️

Stock exhaust?

 

[JDMKING13]

I’m doing the weekly challenges.. FR challenge 550… I’ve done this race a bunch of times before but it never rain.. are you guys getting rain for this race?

 

[RaY29rus]

From what I remembered, the game definitely removed the 991 GT3 RS rear badge when I tried to repaint it.

That is because GT3 RS rear badge is also just a decal

Yep. First time I've done this race got to the second lap and spun out on RMs.

Not the new one. I meant the one that's been in the game since day one.

Edit : my bad, that one is also just a decal.

 

[JDMKING13]

Lol.. I normally do it in my AMG GTS (Stock) on SH tires but the rain was crazy… it’s normal dry when I did that race.

 

[SPOOLMAN]

Stock exhaust?

Yup! Everything stock as a rock.

Loving this update so far! been having against Sophy.

Loving this update so far! been having against Sophy.

I tried a few races against it and I can barely arrive 4th when playing on professional... It is kinda challenging to beat, definitely a big improvement over the regular AI.

This new event World Touring Car 900 is hard even with a p1 car and on easy I'm still only winning by 6 seconds at best.

You start over 40+ seconds behind and I think the first place car never pits to make it worst.

I used the GR01Hybrid something... Just put fuel on 6 and i never had to pit.

The speed difference is so large pitting I think makes more sense.

On the real car, its a sticker. to save weight.

PS1 GT was so ahead of its time, that still looks great for a game thats over 25 years old.

 

[mr_drippppp23]

I was saving up for an fxx k, I was about 300k off, this update came out and then I blew all my cash. I don't have any money left.

"They're the same picture"

Oh yeah for sure, I noticed the vehicle variety is consistent with the car you drive, like if it's not against racing cars but faster cars of it's class. I usually do daily races for my bonus as a routine and tried a quick race with sophy AI on a track I always win and same scenario, it took me a lap to figure the AI out but I ended in 4th place just as you, on professional it's challenging but not that bad, it actually feels like i'm racing against people and the emoji's match their aggression, one of them spun out and they made a dizzy expression. It's more entertaining to say the least and i'm hooked again. It's not impossible but feels like every driver is learning from you. The last car on the pack wouldn't let me pass him, that's why it took me a while to figure them out on lap 1 haha.

Man the new Porsche GT3RS.🔥🔥 It’s a track weapon such a lovely car! I didn’t even know it had DRS… and I play either in cockpit view or VR when I tell y’all when I saw the DRS enable on the actual dash I cried! The graphic of the Porsche actually switches in the dash once it’s on!

Please PD keep these updates flowing!

Are they group 2 cars you are racing against? Cause for me, I use the Gr. 2 NSX for the 800 series, so I'm wondering if I could just lower the specs of the R92CP on RH tires and go to town for that series(?).

Loving the Mercedes, its entered my favourite cars just as quickly as Lake Louise has entered my least favourite tracks. PD really doesn't do rally physics well.
