Gran Turismo 7 Television Ad Teases More New Circuits

[Bogie 19th]

Looks to me like it could be an updated segment from Grand Valley.

First watch I thought that too.

Just wish VR was either confirmed or denied, hate all this guessing and waiting.

That's up to Sony, who still hasn't unveiled how the thing looks. But I'm pretty confident GT7 will get VR support post-launch.

That one is, yes; it's the same trace we've been seeing since November.

The one in the DualSense clip isn't.

 

[Vspectra]

It's Apricot Hill for me

apricot hill was shown at another timestamp.

Which I don't see any lines looking remotely similar to this one.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Man is crazy to me that we're getting a main gt release after almost 10 years since the last main game.

So excited i may fire up gts but then i remember i'll have to download over 40gb of updates.

Seattle is kind of Nintendo town or Microsoft city now compared to when it was in GT3/4. I wonder if that factors into it in any way.

 

[warp9engage]

I still think we might be looking at only one track here, but because the lines can be skewed and twisted, it appears to be another circuit.

There's also the fact that Apricot Hill may have suffered layout changes, like Deep Forest, and we're getting the illusion of another track being there.

This may be the most galaxy brained thing I have ever seen.

Could be a redesign of Special stage route 5.

I suggest that:

that area doesn't fit these line directions at all though

 

[Zlork]

There is a lot of change in the curves but I'm sure it's Apricot Hill

They're not even vaguely similar. Where is the s-shaped chicane after a long straight?

 

[warp9engage]

Knowing they've already made changes to Deep Forest, who's to say this isn't a 'modernized' Apricot Hill, with some corners changed? Just enough for people to recognize it but updated.

I think that, to the right side, we have a skewed perspective view of the front straight, a modified turn 1 and 2 (they got rid of the kink), then turns 7 and 8.

 

[Phaceless_Ph]

Doesn't it mean it's gone gold basically?

It's just a render to demonstrate what the physical copy will look like

 

[Famine]

Knowing they've already made changes to Deep Forest, who's to say this isn't a 'modernized' Apricot Hill, with some corners changed?

It's worth noting that the Deep Forest trace was the original layout not the new one...

And also that the Daytona trace was the new NASCAR course but we've only seen the original layout oval and 24h courses in the game.

 

[Auditore]

Classic Seattle, Classic Rome and I would be extremely happy

PD is so good at making tight city circuits,it's a shame that they can't figure out how to do them anymore.Now it's all W I D E race tracks

 

[warp9engage]

It's worth noting that the Deep Forest trace was the original layout not the new one...

And also that the Daytona trace was the new NASCAR course but we've only seen the original layout oval and 24h courses in the game.

So we've had a new layout teased with an old layout, and an old layout teased with a new layout. Maybe they'll actually match the map with the in-game layout this time? 🤷‍♀️

Also, I asked because I wasn't sure: is there a precedent for a trailer/ad teasing more than one circuit?

 

[mef]

Anybody else feeling pretty meh about the new game?
It’s been roughly 10 years since GT6 came out, yet it feels we may not get much of a different experience in GT7, better graphics and a weather system aside.

We don’t even know if we’ll have the option of endurance races.

I don’t know, I hope the game has mich more than has been revealed so far, speaking about substance and new ideas here not necessarily tracks or cars which are a given.

 

[danimac]

Route 246 I’d love for that to come back. One of my favourites. New York, Seoul, Seattle, Paris street at night that thing was so tight to navigate but a lot of fun. Man there is so many it’s not just nostalgia they are truly fun classic GT tracks and still enjoyable today.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

The apparent simpleness of the course (like pure radius arcs, not compound & arrow straight straights) tends to point to a highway-based course, particularly a Japanese highway...maybe an update on SSR5? It does have a subtle similarity to Fuji too, but I don't think it's Fuji.

 

[gthelmi2398]

I like the way they tease tracks. Always everybody is thinking. Hope we see track list soon.

But again, they've already teased that hairpin and long straight section of Apricot Hill which looks spot on to Apricot Hill, and looks completely different to other track tease.

[nfdids]

I ´m betting that was Apricot Hill but let´s wait and see.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I hope they show us all the goods at State of Play. I want all the gory and fine details please!

 

[Magog]

It would be interesting but I wouldn't mind if they left surprises for us to find when we boot it up.

I hope not, this section is my favorite part of the track. Amazing flow.
There was a time when I love GT for its original tracks, now all I want is real tracks. At least they can't change the layout of real tracks....

I think they deliberately skew, distort, warp, and use different perspectives on the lines, to avoid making it too obvious. As far as I know (I might be wrong) track teasers in trailers are for one track only, per trailer. And I think this is the return of another classic, Apricot Hill.
