Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.23 Now Available: Adds New Cars, Menu Books, Races, and Scapes

[Yard_Sale]

Scapes should be optional DLC, not an integrated part of the game.

Scapes surprisingly has been one of my favorite “hidden gem” features in both GTS and GT7. I would imagine we got a lot of them upon launch, and keep getting them in updates because they’re easy to implement and don’t require a lot of man-power

Got a Ferrari 358 engine which I don't believe I've had before and level 5 weight reduction for Ferrari Portofino and 1mill cr. from the 3 tickets. That seemed the shortest cafe races we've had, was all done in no time. You'd think with their social media pages full of unhappy folks you would start listening to them.

Imagine dropping this **** the same day consoles get ACC 1.8. Kaz is so far up his own arse it isn't funny. Sony should close this studio down, or send Kaz packing. What a disaster.

I think this post is a little strong and I think it comes from a misunderstanding of thinking PD wants to engage and listen to feedback. I don’t think they do, for better and for worse.

I don’t play the game anymore and consider this game more a lifestyle for the developers, kind of like star citizen.

I look elsewhere for fun and barely play the game anymore and regret pre-ordering.

Pd and Sony will understand what funds their lifestyles when gt8 is sold and sales strangely dive bomb. I wonder why that might be.

The plus point it took hardly time to update, because there was obviously nothing substantial to add. 🙄 😄

But, I can't see the point of adding damage one month, and then not having it active in the one race I have been able to do so far the next, the World Touring Car 800 (Tokyo Expressway). Don't me wrong, I would have sustained lots of damage in the one race I have done there so far, but where's the consistency!

This.
No consistency whatsoever. Let’s see what they break this time after fixing previous bugs.

The ACC social media accounts spent a full year ignoring any and all enquiries about a PS4 to PS5 upgrade path. Before ditching PS4 users. They then spent another 6 months ignoring PS5 enquiries about the big 1.8 update. In September ‘22 they delivered with broken lobbies, broken FFB and numerous other serious issues. The console playerbase is non-existent and the game is in the bargain bins.

We’re in September ‘22, a full 6 months after launch. We have full sales data (physical & digital) for August in the US & UK/EU. GT7 remains in the top 10 charts.

Been to the ACC thread lately? There's a lot of complaining going on there too

 

[Jump_Ace]

Must be an issue with assigning it to buttons as I never had issues looking left and right with the right analogue stick on the controller.

I use a wheel IIRC using a controller always worked. But at any rate, thats a nice win for today.

ACC is a simulator made for PC. Console users get to experience some of that but their capabilities are held back. GT7 is made by one of Sony's biggest studios backed with Sony money. It's only on one system. Playstation. Not PC or Xbox.
Kunos is infinitesimal in size compaired to PD and yet still can put out a superior product. And you know if there's issues, they'll comne out with a fast hotfix for them. I would trust Kunos word before I'd ever trust a thing PD from here on out.

They then spent 6 months ignoring player enquiries about feature updates like car selling and actual career mode content. In May '22 they delivered broken FFB and numerous other serious issues. The PC playerbase is non-existent and the game is in the bargain bins.

And yet another month with low effort and nearly zero content update. Can't say I'm surprised, though. Oh well, I needed space for GoW anyway as I wanted to replay it before 2nd one comes out.
Yep, definitely skipping next GT whatever it might be, GTS2 or GT8. Pause between GT5 and GT7 was long enough for me to forget how I was disappointed with that one, but after 5 months (I've got GT7 month after release) I do remember it very well now.

Still got my money's worth of the game I suppose, plenty of hours played, but this is not GT I was the big fan of since PS days. It's just "another racing game", and I can't say I ever was a fan of those aside of GT and first few Burnouts (PS2 ones). The rest of racing games, sims or arcades, I never cared about. So I'm just sad GT is just the shell of what it used to be.

How much was the old Porsche the last time it came around?

If I remember correctly it was about 4 million

A 30% discount 6 months after launch is hardly "bargain bins". If you want an actual example of that check out Amazon Japan, where the game was being offered for as low as 2200 yen for the PS5 version, a massive 75% discount over the MSRP of 8600 yen (though the reason for this is mostly the game being forcibly bundled with whatever PS5s were available, causing a flood on the second hand market).

I love ACC on PC but the console version is a disaster even on next-gen. And sure Kunos is way smaller than PD obviously but 505 Games is hardly a tiny publisher that can't afford better ports.

Why do the capabilities have to be held back? They've effectively just dumped a lot of their player base (PS4) like hot potatoes so there's no reason it can't be up to the same level, even if that means being a bit behind in development (which makes sense and I'm fine with).

They (Kunos, or whoever runs ACC now) just need to get a better porting partner if they're going to continue to ask top dollar from us console plebs, and by that I mean charging more for the DLC than the price of the game itself (it costs more than GT7 for the full content), for what is a very narrowly focused game, or it just seems like a blatant case of milking us.

Don't get me wrong, I still like it, but it has many of the same issues GT7 has (online is a POS, and has been since AC for us DownUnder) on console. PC may be a different story but it has been released on Xbox and PS so they need and deserve the same attention to detail.

Yup, but people still think it's PD though.

this one got a lot of comments on twitter:

I only just noticed in the patch notes they added support for rotary encoders on Fanatec wheels, wasn't expecting that, nice surprise

So we’ll be seeing The Ministry of Silly Updates soon.😉

 

[hyperspeed980]

Surely it can't be so hard for PD to communicate properly with their fanbase, right? It can be as simple as posting roadmaps of upcoming content from time to time. Almost every other live-service game has no problem with this sort of thing, so what's PD's deal?

The closest thing I can think of would be the Pit Stop blog from back in the day, but that stopped being posted to about a month after it started.

It honestly makes me sad. GT7 is so close to being a fantastic racing game - the driving and graphics are already top-notch, and the car/track list is solid too - but the structure of the game is so broken that it almost completely falls apart.

 

[Birdsson]

The game crashed twice after i finish tokyo 600pp
this game is utter bull****
**** this piece of ****!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just got a 5 star ticket for the daily marathon. Pretty sure that's a first for me? 🤔

Edit: 100k credits. Better than another invite I suppose.

 

[KAlex122]

So, Rory meant lobbies are fixed. Are they?

 

[ScottPuss20]

Including your own.

Ah yes,

Guess PD got so fed up with people "exploiting" the broken PP system, they just gave up altogether.

Well the best way to tackle the problem is by removing the problem.

Are we really doing this again?

Silvia Café Menu:
3 lap Willow: 3 minutes
3 lap Deep Forest: 5 minutes
3 lap Tsukuba: 3 minutes

Clubman race at Trial Mountain: 9-10 minutes
WTC 800 10 Lap race in Tokyo: 22 minutes
Japanese FR 450 at Autopolis: 3-4 minutes

Total Payouts: About 350k (the CRB in the 10 lap Tokyo Race is incredibly hard to get).

And that's less than an hour of races, chase the rabbit races, that have crap payouts, for the whole month. ... I finished them already btw.

-Still no selling cars.
-Still no Special Stage Route X Test Track (Top Speed, Drag Race times) mode.
-Still the same 2 races to grind.
-Still no actual endurance races like Fuji 1000km/6hr, or Nurburgring 4hr or 24hr Le Mans...
-Still no championships (or even races) involving the less used high-end car categories like Historic Race cars, Gr.1, Gr.2, Formula Cars...

Let's focus on the things this game DOES have shall we?

Also I find it interesting that the negative posts get more likes and reactions than the positive ones. I think that says enough about the community at this time.

 

[BeaverMeat]

Just a rant… I joined up (after a long hiatus) just rant about the removal of the PP calculation… why?

It was a great guide for tuning cars! Damnit! You could dial it in for maximum acceleration and rotational G numbers. You could see how your downforce balance effected those too.

Damnit!!!

 

[pokstar]

The new scapes scenes appear to be fire.

True, spent some time on it too before putting the game off.
I actually love the scapes, I actually spend more time on it than doing races some days.

I think it’s fun and a cool feature when you’re tired from racing and just want to take photos and relax, that is, if there are more single-player races that are fun and worth replaying to begin with. (as I don’t really like racing online)

The negative posts get more traction because this game is not at all what a GT game should be. Especially when it was touted as the return to form. Go back and watch that state of play deep dive from before launch and see for yourself how much of it is just straight up lies.

6 months after launch and the single player is STILL barebones as ****. These trash updates that ignore issues and add less than an hour of 'career' mode races are just insulting at this point.

This is what I find to be the most frustrating by far. Everything is there to make this the best GT for everyone who plays it. Its all RIGHT there. The gorgeous graphics, the feel of the driving, the car models are insanely good. PD did all the hard work of making this beautiful masterpiece only to not only drop the ball, but puncture the ball, then throw the ball away after lighting it on fire.

Their design choices and updates are just putting more make up on this clown show.

 

[GT_Zaitess]

I dont know, i just play games since the 80s and in the late 90s early 20s i was already playing online games and MMORpgs that rely on content updates to keep playerbase...
Its just that recent generations are so dependent and spoiled that it hurts..., of course we can complain and point the flaws in a game...

But name a game.., doesnt need to be a racing game, that receive monthly updates/content like GT7 does...

I was guessing about a major update arround a big launch nothing more, is what makes sense in terms of marketing.
Probably a single player campaign could be added.
All the other stuff we talk about in other topics are being corrected.., and will added new features, lobbys fixes and features and so on.

Its not ideal and for shure many things and choices that PD made are really odd, i was expecting more also...
But we now some months ahead of launch, we all know the normal "roadmap", PD use it on GTS and ts using it now, its a mistake to point exact dates in this undustry concerning roadmaps...

I can name a lot of game.

Ace combat, Tekken, Overwatch

I'm the same age as you and your post is BS. The perfect example why we always get screwed decades after decades.

I remember those years perfectly and games where finished when purchased (because online didn't exist back then)

In today worlds, the gaming industry is getting too much money and we all know what happens when money is there.

Greed, marketing stupid move and every goal is met to make the shareholders win more money at the expense of costumers.
