GIVE US 1-2 HOUR RACES!!!!

THAT IS ALL.

 

[Lellep]

Sorry didn't know you were blind. I just trying to be funny not mean. Again I apologize

No problem, do you know the answer to my question? It take a lot of effort and time for me to decipher a whole article that’s why I just want a simple answer

 

[Kriptical]

While im trying to be less negative these days…

What a poocicle of a worthless update, with a movie on deck, at probably an all time high for racing, and sim racing.

It boggles the mind.

Or better payouts for Custom Races.

Custom races offer a huge amount of flexibility and, thus far anyway, have accounted for the most realistic and immersive races I've done on GT7.

The (obvious) downsides are, however:

1. It takes an age to collect (pay for) enough cars to create a realistic grid
2. It takes a long time to manually apply correct liveries and driver names etc.
3. It's not always straightforward to generate a decent race when different cars have different tyre/fuel usage etc.
4. The payouts for Custom Races are very poor, hence why most people stick to grinding the same events over and over again.

However, despite the above, Custom Races can be extremely worthwhile. It's just a pity that PD can't implement a few more 'realistic' events to save us from the heavy lifting of car collecting and applying appropriate liveries, assuming they exist.

It becomes available in brand central in September or if you watch the Nations Cup live stream this weekend you can get it for free from the 20th August.

"HEY FELLOW GT GAMERS THIS UPDATE IS SO JAM PACKED WITH NEW CONTENT."

The update:

 

[CitroenCX]

20 laps on High Speed Ring for 160,000 Cr.?
That's ridiculous I probably fell asleep halfway through, love me some good 800 PP action and grinding to level 50 but this ain't it and makes grinding unbearable and not fun for me.
Come on PD if you give us new events make one that have at least good payout at least I can justify bored out of my mind driving there for 20 laps. Re-introduce log in bonus with up to 500% increase in Cr. earnings is the solution from that point on you can focus on adding more events cars and tracks. Right now, other than MC20 I don't care about any other new cars from this patch I just want better single player experience everything felt like it requires too much grinding. First time I felt like I have to grind for Intermediate and Racing Soft tires whereas in prior mainline games I never felt I have to do that at all.

 

[GranTorino91]

But remember guys, the game is not dead, OK?! Yamauchi loves us 🙂

 

[JuiceJay]

Being able to see a giant flashing BRAKE BRAKE! on screen with auto-brake enabled is a true game changer. Nevermind the brake input display on the HUD.

Yeah man. This game is a joke lol

I think this is the worst update yet. Half the content is locked behind time-gates, the movie tie in is literally just a Gr.3 Time Trial which we already get dozens of, the events and engine swaps are insanely uncreative, and the QoL features they added are borderline pointless.

As much as I love this game, this update gives you absolutely 0 reason to play. It's a complete fumble.
For new players coming to the game this update, a likely possibility because of the movie, they are immediately slapped with both FOMO based and time-gated drip fed content. That's an awful look. If I started playing a game and saw half the stuff from each update was drip fed in-front of my face, I'd stop playing.

Sad to say GT7 was a massive disappointment and missed opportunity. There is no way to fix that now… no update can fix it… especially the lame ass ones Kaz and PD poop out

 

[jimihemmy]

It becomes available in brand central in late September or if you watch the Nations Cup live stream this weekend you can get it for free from the 14th August. If you watch after this weekend, then it is the 20th August.

FIFY

Also, you have to watch from the link in-game not from anywhere else.

 

[PMK]

I think it’s geniunely pathetic how out of touch PD is. It makes me wanna laugh but at the same time i want to cry.

Are they actually this braindead? It’s like they actively want people to avoid playing their game.

 

[Kino321-X]

Why has PD seemingly stopped adding new Menu Books on a regular basis? GT Sport has some nice event themes that still haven’t carried over to GT7, which is getting really absurd at this point:

All Japan GT Car Championships
Clio Cup
Compétition de France
Lamborghini Cup
Mazda Roadsters Cup
Midship Challenge
MINI Challenge
Nostalgic 1979
Passion of Dr. Wankel (Rotary engines)
Real Circuit Tours
Supra Legend
Tourist Trophy (Audi TT)
Z Heritage
World Hatchback Championship

To name a few… Instead we keep getting a myriad of those boring Extra Menus, which contain absolutely zero gameplay. And the few events they are adding are just more of the same events from previous Menu Books.



Surprised? No different to every other update released so far.

What is frustrating is that these events have the same format and lackluster payouts. And along with the Extra Menus, it just screams minimal effort and content padding. I'm still hoping for a career "overhaul" in a Spec 2 update coming later, because PD can definitely do better than this.

As someone who loves the stories/backgrounds they present about the cars in the Extra Menus, I really wish they were more integrated and cohesive somehow. Maybe make the Museum a more central part of the game and include them there. Without the proper events, car collection is just box-checking at this point with little feeling of ownership or investment unlike previous GTs.

I did it in a stock pagani (with softs and wets) and lapped the whole field

 

[RCKakashi14]

The only thing I enjoyed in this update is the MC20.

Good handling, with a bit of understeer but a tune clearly solves that. I also like its aero parts.


The C1 'Vette warmed me up, and reminded me of the Art Morrison tuned one in the GT5P days.


The rest? Nah.

 

[mastretta_mx]

I just quiclky check the update before coming to the office (update was overnight here), but definitely its the 1st or 2nd more underwhelming and disappointing update (alongside september last year)😑😑😑😑

 

[JSHuiting]

GIVE US 1-2 HOUR RACES!!!!

THAT IS ALL.

Man, or just some races in general..

You start in the back of a rolling start with miles between each opponent, and you just overtake the whole grid Max Verstappen style.
It's ridicioulus that a racing game has nothing but basically time trials with some obstacles, there is absolutely no racing offline.

But sure give us a Ambulance, it's what everyone was yearning for.

Funny you’d highlight the handling. For me the handling stands out as the weakest aspect of the MC20. It’s not a bad car but it’s not sharp like a F8 Tributo or 650S.

 

[kjb]

No problem, do you know the answer to my question? It take a lot of effort and time for me to decipher a whole article that’s why I just want a simple answer

Yes in order to get the 🚑 early you to watch the GT Race on Livestream then answer some questions then you get early access if you don't do that you have to wait until September. I'm pretty sure the answers will posted on this site when the race is over

 

[Boxerengine4]

Good lord, I was watching gameplay of Gran Turismo 4 over the past few days and it just made me irritated at where this series is now. Like you could really just sit there and play the dam game and progress through it, no bs or anything and plenty of content. GT is nothing but a full on game as a service. Hell, it’s not even a game anymore, just a tool for siphoning money.

 

[scottypinthemix]

as we've all come to expect, this update is lame.
I was really hoping they'd sneak in a re-work of the HUD in VR.
That's the one thing I'd like to see just about as much as new tracks and updated gt3 cars.

THAT IS ALL.

I’m sure there’ll be representatives from GTP and other media outlets at the GTWS.

I can’t believe no one can get some face-to-face time with Kaz and other PD staff. Ask directly why the long promised Endurance races haven’t yet arrived.

This isn’t just wish list stuff. These events were promised by Kaz in his statement over 12 months ago. If they are coming, but they can’t announce full details. Fine, just make this updated statement.

No invited member of the press or influencer wants to step on toes or come across as rude. But I do think this is something PD should be pressed on.

 

[ruestchiva]

1. Missed opportunity adding some content (events, missions, scapes, whatever) that would otherwise hyped-up the damn movie. (besides a livery of a car already in the game)
2. No new high-paying event, which still keeps Kaz contradicting himself by having us grinding the same Tokyo event on and on and on.... #StepDownKaz
3. No new missions, only 4 new races which are no more than 1 hour worth of gameplay.
4. Forza Motorsport needs to be a great game to put some pressure on this Japanese. They are way to comfortable now.

Hounding Kaz about random features is a fantastic way to stop being invited to such events lol

No one is suggesting hounding Kaz or staff members. But inviting independent members of the press is a two-way street. They aren’t just there to be a mouth piece for PD.

@Jordan has discussed in the past how Q&A sessions are managed. At a recent one Kaz was very coy about PSVR2 support. Shortly after it was announced in full. That’s frustrating, but it’s understandable Kaz has to go along with Sony’s wider PR plans.

A mundane question asking why the promised Endurance races & Missions haven’t arrived some 12 months later is not something Kaz/PD/Sony should be affronted by. These were all promised in an official PR statement. It’s quite correct to hold them to these promises.

This is not a contentious issue like monetisation or discussing yet to be announced cars & tracks. The lack of single-player content (specifically events) is controlled in-house by PD. Kaz and his team, for whatever reason, are holding back.

I still give PD the benefit of the doubt and believe they’re planning a major update(s) down the line. But I understand people’s frustrations.

The press need to take advantage of these rare opportunities when they can ask Kaz & PD direct questions.

There's a Kaz Q&A after the movie screening. If you buy a ticket, you can ask whatever you like.

Or better payouts for Custom Races.

Custom races offer a huge amount of flexibility and, thus far anyway, have accounted for the most realistic and immersive races I've done on GT7.

The (obvious) downsides are, however:

1. It takes an age to collect (pay for) enough cars to create a realistic grid
2. It takes a long time to manually apply correct liveries and driver names etc.
3. It's not always straightforward to generate a decent race when different cars have different tyre/fuel usage etc.
4. The payouts for Custom Races are very poor, hence why most people stick to grinding the same events over and over again.

However, despite the above, Custom Races can be extremely worthwhile. It's just a pity that PD can't implement a few more 'realistic' events to save us from the heavy lifting of car collecting and applying appropriate liveries, assuming they exist.

I’d also like the ability to share custom races.

Something akin to how we share decals, liveries or photos.

It would be great if someone comes up with a great combo, and you can download it to a saved custom race section. In the DL, it contains everything about the race including cars & liveries used to race against.

Oh I agree. If they just "fixed" custom races I wouldn't be "yelling" in all caps for this (hahaha). I still wouldn't be super happy though because 1) that'd be super lazy on their end and 2) it would still be "chase the rabbit" with no qualifying.

Also the notion that classic and slow cars aren't deserving of difficult and high payout races is straight up offensive. It also makes a majority of the cars in the game worthless for use on in-game content.

 

[Boxster]

There's a Kaz Q&A after the movie screening. If you buy a ticket, you can ask whatever you like.

I can't be there. But can someone ask Kaz please:
Dear Kaz, GT7 has such great basics. But what spoils the game for so many players is:

• lack of a proper career mode
• a dearth of events
• decent payouts for all but four races

Won't you please, please fix this? Satisfaction ratings will soar instantly.

What do you mean by "fix this?" if I were asked this question I'd answer with a blank-faced "Okay." Be more directive and specific with your questions.

 

[ruestchiva]

I'm betting on 2 new races paying each 5,000 and 18,000 Cr. respectivley at same locations we have a bunch of races already at. Hurray! #StepDownKaz #HireNewManagement #TimeToRetire

See, I wasn't waayy too far off. Maybe I can start a Future Predictions Business. Still, I would do better than Kaz at fixing what really matters... lol

• Dragon Trail – Gardens (6 laps) – Hypercar Parade – 95,000cr (not too bad)
• High Speed Ring (20 laps) – World Touring Cars 800 – 160,000cr (is this a joke?)
• Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta (3 laps) – American Sunday Cup 600 – 40,000cr (worthless)
• Red Bull Ring (6 laps) – Hypercar Parade – 90,000cr (not too bad, either).
