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

[Lion-Face]

Honestly, doesn't bother me. I don't care to collect them all. You can beat the game without grinding out credits and (I suspect) the most competitive cars are at the lower end of the price brackets.

I believe that this is how PD intend the game to be and don't feel it is being skewed by MT's at all. If MT's were dropped, the economy of the game won't change.

There are more events coming, more higher end events will come with bigger pay-outs, whether they will be more efficient one can only guess. We are only 2 weeks into the games' life, still a lot can and will change and these things take time.

I did forget that yeah a pretty big quake did hit Japan yesterday

...and PD & Sony will claim "act of God" and not be liable for any claims for refunds or legal damages (breach of contract, fair use)

First thing I do with every Gran Turismo game is turn all the music off

I used to do that too, since the race music was and still kind of is average. But there are some real bangers on GT7's soundtrack, so I kept those on and disabled all the cheese.

Scandalous! The powers of Daiki Kasho condemns you.

 

[ghost30]

Imagine people who just got this game today… maybe timed it with receiving that fancy new Fanatec DD pro. And can’t even get into the main menu. 🤦‍♂️

Funny, I tend to do same, cannot race when music distracts from sound of squealing tires telling me I am losing grip on road...

That Lamberatti probably cost 20 million.

That would be 5 x shark cards, please enter your card details below:

[Pizzicato1985]

Does it really say that though?

It's just saying "Go collect all those cars! Have fun!", it's not saying "If you dont buy every single car in the game within 6 weeks, a Peugeot RCZ will come out of the screen and murder your entire family and skin your dog. Start racing."

The only progression that is tracked in the game is your car collector level. I'd say it's safe to say acquiring cars is a core pillar of the title given they don't even have driver level like they did in Sport.

Honestly, if the game lets me, i just have a custom race soundtrack that is ONLY Daiki Kasho songs.



And After The Rain.

GT7 lets you choose which songs you want to play. Unfortunately it only works for the Race BGM.

All Music Rally reminds me of is how much of a step down this game's soundtrack is. Maybe I'm in the minority, but most of the new tracks are just bleh, across the board. Some I do like, but the majority is not good I'll admit. Perhaps I'm just too fond of Sport's very solid collection of lounge and chill music. Past tracks are welcome, but they are used as a crutch for the rest of the soundtrack.

This is very much my notion on the music selection in this title. Pales in my comparison to previous iterations. GT Sport had a fantastic soundtrack. This one has a few decent ones, but much too much of unmemorable, uninspired tracks, especially a lot of the racing music. Spotify is a good solution but it's disappointing when I have to resort to it because the music of the game got old within less than two weeks of launch.

I do the same. I leave maybe 10 songs that do not drown out the sounds of the game. I want to hear the car, not screw up a mad guitar 🤣

 

[RaceFace85]

They crashed the game into a wall at top speed.

 

[regnar]

Another one of these completely ridiculous decisions that PD makes, in offline arcade mode, you can only select your garage cars in Time Trial & Drift Trial,
but not Single Race, who is this cheating against.

 

[ShiftingGears]

I think you’re missing my point.
Why is “getting everything” the only way you can enjoy it?

Come on mate even PD thinks that's what players want out of Gran Turismo, thats why they actively push you to collect cars in the first place. The selling point isn't quality of racing they offer.

 

[DemioXDTourng]

GT7 lets you choose which songs you want to play. Unfortunately it only works for the Race BGM.

That's the only thing i wanted to change, since the menu soundtrack is fine by me!

No, they have on several occasions promoted this game as being one where you try to collect and own all the cars. There is a menu specifically to track that. The whole single player is about collecting cars. The talking heads in the game suggest you do that. It's a goal PD are absolutely suggesting you work towards, so they know how much time it's going to take.

 

[Phaceless_Ph]

Anyone else think it's ridiculous nepotism that Daiki Kasho has had a place on the soundtrack with the same song since GT5?

 

[Haverstaken]

I heard that for this next update, they are going to add a gas station on the map. I'm glad I have the Taycan in the garage.

Yeah, they're suggesting you get all the cars, they arent forcing you.

Besides, thats a goal, not a selling point, its just something you CAN do, not something you have to do now.

 

[MockngBrd]

Hmm maybe I'll blow my $$$ on my real life toyota's supercharger kit first instead of a brand new ps5 and full racing rig. Seems to be better to wait and see how gt7 develops over time.

 

[Samus]

What's your point? That because I don't have to do something in a game, it can't be criticised?

I don't have to do anything in any game.

I believe that this is how PD intend the game to be and don't feel it is being skewed by MT's at all. If MT's were dropped, the economy of the game won't change.

I'd find this a lot easier to believe if quite a bit of content wasn't timed exclusive with no way to get it on a secondary in-game market. As it is quite a bit of content is either only available when PD wants it to be with no idea when they will appear again or down to getting lucky enough to get an invite.

They had plenty of other possible routes to take when determining how to make certain cars available which would have been far more fair to the players and they chose none of them. Every choice they have made in this regard is clearly trying to tap into people's fear of missing out and based on the recent credit nerfing it's also obvious the route they are trying to get people to take to avoid missing out.

It's literally on the back of the box to do so.

"Unlock your driving passion as you collect, tune, and race over 400 cars and 90 track layouts".

"Collect" literally appears in this ad video as well.

 

[DemioXDTourng]

I don't have to do anything in any game.

Listen, i'll criticize whatever i want, but seeing people say that "collecting cars is the main goal" or whatever, just boils my ice cold bottle of water. Sure, i can still drink it, but its gonna be annoying to drink it since its just hot and not refreshing.

 

[Daxus]

From the perspective of GTS, everything looks like a tedious grind because pretty much everything was already given to you.

Tuning-wise, yes indeed. Car collecting-wise, not really. The daily bonus cars were never the really high value ones for me and were a lot of doubles I didn't care about and just deleted. But you had the choice when you were gifted a car you'd already bought with credits to sell it for again to regain some of the spent credits as I did a few times when I was short on buying another car. Gifted cars were just deleted though. Mileage points were the real pain i t a because you needed them for cosmetics and higher performance and you didn't get a lot of them.

That’s great and all, but that still has yet to be seen and it certainly doesn’t justify making credits more difficult to get in the mean time.

A banger is a banger.

They've broken several UK consumer laws, and it's only going to take one legal firm to smell cash . . .

Is it telling you that it's the main goal?

It's just saying that you can have fun as you buy some more cars, and that there are over 400 cars.

Again, is it the main point of buying GT7?
