Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.07 Now Available: Tire and Progression Bugs Addressed

[XSRacing111]

The problem is that it is already a great racing game that's being held back by some of the most blatant corporate greed I've ever seen in a video game. It's easier to add cars/tracks or update physics, but it'll be a massive challenge to convince Sony to back off with the MT nonsense and to adjust the in-game economy accordingly. My belief is that this is here to stay, sadly.

Well like I said in one of my earlier comments:
Bad economies should be in real life, not a video game.

It's not that I care about the outage that's currently happening, I'm more than willing to wait for them to get things right.

I mean you don't exactly have a choice anyways lol.

I don't hate having to progress through the game to get stuff either, I found Forza Horizon 5 boring later on because it was too easy to get stuff. What pisses me off is the increasingly obvious push towards microtransactions and it's simply making the rest of the game less enjoyable, and in that case, I'd rather move to something like Assetto Corsa and save myself money in the long run lol

I'm in agreement with you. what really annoys me is the custom race payouts. I am happy to earn credits and don't want a handout, but when a 1 lap race on the Nurburgring in the Porsche cup pays the equivalent of a 10 lap Custom race on the same track... and then a 100 lap race on the same track barely increases the credits earned?

It's not even a matter of forcing microtransactions because I can just run the cup race repeatedly if I choose to. It is nonsensical, and actively punishing players who want to run custom races.

Pretty much 100% certain Sony & PD will not under any circumstances reverse course and adjust things so that the game no longer requires an online connection. It sucks, but it is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it.

There are an awful lot of spoiled brats with deep pockets ... unfortunately

In my opinion GT isn't as strong with younger gamers as FIFA or even Forza and they're the main reason for microtransactions being so profitable for the studios. I think that pissing off core fans in not a good strategy for the studio long term even though they may earn some extra money short term. It's just going to drive people away to other sims/simcade titles.

Maybe they'll give you 50 cents for it

Gamestop with GT5 Prologue.
I remember.

 

[Balnews]

Yes it is! Game pass ultra is just 1£ for a month, and there are plenty of games there.

Even for £1 a month.
It’s a NO from me. 🤣

Why Gran Turismo 7’s Latest Update Has Outraged Fans​

Gran Turismo 7 players will be waking up today to some rather unwelcome news. In the brief period during which the latest update was available it was revealed that, for many of the best-earning races in the game, credit payouts have now been slashed — by more than half in some cases — dramatically increasing the time needed save up for the highest value vehicles...

Fixed that for you

 

[Jamie Bbbbb]

Let's just say I'm glad I bought physical...

 

[HarVee]

Thanks for the article Famine. I was wondering if you were going to cover this story.

 

[QTheRacer_31]

The app just send me this:

Gran Turismo 7… Should say: “There WAS something for everyone to enjoy together.” 😂

 

[Famine]

Thanks for the article Famine. I was wondering if you were going to cover this story.

I'd been working on a credits/grind piece for a little while. Today just gave me an excuse to get it out - although I had to rework it just a little!


Still, we're afraid of Sony and on the take, or something.

 

[XSRacing111]

The only thing I need to be satisfied and play the game for hours on end is for the forced balance of power to be removed from single player custom races.
I want to race a fully tuned race car against my other fully tuned race cars. Why is BOP in single player?!?!

If they don’t want to get rid of it at least give us the option to turn it off.

 

[GTD87]

Outrage! Travesty! How dare they have a service in there i don't even have to use!? I don't have to give them a single penny but i'll get mad anyway for some reason! None of the games modes or updates are tied to it and updates will be free but who cares?!

I wanna get a billion credits for a clubman race! As a matter of fact get rid of credits and have everything there so i don't have to do anything!

I'll get bored after 5 minutes but i won't have to work at anything in those 5 minutes!

What kind of sicko would only allow nearly 900 thousand credits for an hour race? I can't even by an air filter for that amount of credits....

This is the most balanced take I've seen on it.

HAHA YEAH YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT

 

[GTD87]

Cool enjoy forza horizon and racing a 20,000 horsepower Ferrari in a jungle

I guess i'll be the only one playing online or off.

 

[jaytmtb]

Wow my head is cabbaged after reading all the comments, my questions are
Where is B-Spec, and why can't we sell cars that we have more than one of,
and is the monthly car/track lie in GTS going to be free or pay for?

Insert meme of being fired and re-hired multiple times in one day lol

I heard they forgot to add the virtual ATM at the café /s

I appreciate GTP finally saying something about the myriad of issues relating to the in game economy and micro-transactions.

Stop moaning, start racing

 

[evldave333]

It cant be denied absence makes the heart grow fonder... I will really appreciate getting back to my BMW VGT when the servers back up. Its been a culture shock playing other driving games tonight, frame rate is everything... I need GT butter lol

 

[JoaoSilva]

Stop moaning, start racing

Can't, game's offline in case you didn't notice.

 

[Phaceless_Ph]

Stop moaning, start racing

Well... I actually just got a refund so I'm contemplating which game to buy lol

 

[omgitsbees]

Stop moaning, start racing

lol you literally can't while the servers are offline. The game isn't accessible.

 

[juanffy18]

1. Gran Turismo 7 (v1.07) – 17.8 hours (333 races)

All of my life for a 20m car

 

[omgitsbees]

Forza Horizon 5 is fully playable when the servers go offline, minus the multiplayer of course.

 

[Ande3200]

Looked forward to play after work today quite disapointing that it won’t happen, i am not a fan of the events being lowered but i am not hating the game, becouse their is still good stuff that i really enjoy about the game, i just hope it will be playable tomorrow.
