Like I already said (I don't remember if I did it here or in the "General Discussion" thread)... With updates, a game, ANY game, could even change completely...

The cars are different as that involves licensing and may not be as simple as “but they’re already got this such and such car”.Like I already said (I don't remember if I did it here or in the "General Discussion" thread)... With updates, a game, ANY game, could even change completely... So let's think how many events they could add, if they only wanted to do. They just don't want to.
The same applies to the addition of new racing cars (for example, we still have the Ferrari 458 GT3, meanwhile in GT3 competitions Ferrari switched first to the 488 and now to the 296... well, I'm not necessarily asking for the 296, but at least the 488!)

Issues that I've been already written multiple times. We drive the exact same models in GT3 like in GT Sport.

If polyphony haven’t agreed a new price or terms for the image rights to Ferraris new cars then that is due to lisensing.Issues that I've been already written multiple times. We drive the exact same models in GT3 like in GT Sport. And that for a high priced game like that.
And stop calling the licensing problem as ALL other games got newer cars like Ferrari, at least the 488, the McLaren 720S and others, along with newer road cars too. Even the ACC without that 2023 DLC, the PS4 / XBox One Versions have the 2020 season. That's a three year old championship, having the McLaren 720S GT3, the Evo Lamobos, Evo2 Audis, Ferrari 488 GT3... Doesn't matter which game you take, there are always a newer car list than GT7. And then for much more money than the other games...
So licensing these cars ISN'T the problem. Same as modeling and stuff, they just don't do nothing as long as they are happy about enough players pay for the game and the micro transactions for highly overpriced cars. By the way. Once you bought ACC for example, you can drive ALL the cars without buying ot paying for one...
If all that would be a licensing problem or modelling for the game, the others games should have the same problems too as they have much lower budgets and smaller development teams. But they still got newer cars and you don't have to pay so much money too...
It's all about greed and earning as much money from the player base as much as they can. That's all. And as long as people keep playing the game, they have no pressure to change that...
If ACC does so many things better in your opinion, I wonder why do you waste your precious time posting here instead of playing ACC ?Issues that I've been already written multiple times. We drive the exact same models in GT3 like in GT Sport. And that for a high priced game like that.

Only if you think one game getting a licence for a car means all games can have it... which is such a bizarre thing to think.So licensing these cars ISN'T the problem.
Or, as @jonoholland29 pointed out, thinking a game developer having a license for a specific set of cars from a manufacturer somehow means that one can replicate everything that ever existed in that manufacturer's lineup.Only if you think one game getting a licence for a car means all games can have it... which is such a bizarre thing to think.

The only reason they have a so called "partnership" with IMSA is to have things like the Vasser Sullivan livery or the weather tech and IMSA branding on tracks like Road Atlanta. They have no bearing on who else can use IMSA material. Now Pikes Peak is a different story and one to scratch our heads on. For years it's been wasted and a lost opportunity.What I'm currently scratching my head around is Polyphony's deals with Pikes Peak and IMSA. Why do they even have them? Is it to try and stop others from having them for the sake of it? We'll never get PP, IMSA
While it's not for everyone, I've seen more discussion about the ambulance online, than pretty much any other DLC car. Neither is one thing in place of another. We already know PD have talked about Endurance races. I have no idea why they still aren't here, but there where similar discussions about selling used cars. When it arrived it was far more in-depth than expected. Of course, you can argue whether that added any value over a basic 'Sell Car' option. But I very much hope PD put's real thought into endurance events and allows things like AI driver changes.Instead of having a Proper GT League or having longer Races we are getting a Ambulance...Oh Boy....
I don't think the general player, particularly those focused on single-player, really care about lobbies. Daily races and Time Trials are far more enticing. Better still would be if PD introduced a hopper race where you can jump in and experience different cars & tracks without worrying about driver ratings.Probably they want to force people to online racing, but in the same time they fail to provide stable lobbies and some sort of matchmaking for random, quick races. Plus, some folks just don't have time/energy for that and prefer to have fun with AI, regardless how clunky it is.
But that's the point, many of these titles that have teased new Hypercars & GTP's haven't yet released them. For all we know the 963 could be coming to GT7 next month (or not). What I would say is the modelling of these new cars on iRacing is reminiscent of something PD would do 10+ years ago. I realise that's not the focus of iRacing, but when these cars do come to GT7, I want them to be replicated in perfect detail. Something that requires huge amounts of refence material & CAD data.while Iracing just teased the Acura and Porsche LMDH/GTPs.... while already having the Caddy and BMW.
Because it’s something weird and out of the ordinary. No one seemed to talk about the 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi released in June. Why? Probably because it’s been featured in GT games over the past 20 years, and everyone knows it’s awesome. There’s not much left to say about it.While it's not for everyone, I've seen more discussion about the ambulance online, than pretty much any other DLC car.
issues are kot with licensing but them being too greedy to pay for that as other games like IIf polyphony haven’t agreed a new price or terms for the image rights to Ferraris new cars then that is due to lisensing.

If I don't like a game, I don't play it and play something I like more...
For example, I don't care so much about cars that have been built after 2000(with some exceptions of course...), so if there wouldn't be cars from before 2000 in GT, I would look for a game that has such cars, but I wouldn't be in a GT forum complaining that there is no older cars here-especially then, when ALL other games had the cars I like...
I been having this happen (PS5) sporadically since launch.Is anyone else having issues even getting the the main menu since this update?
Possibly a connection issue?I been having this happen (PS5) sporadically since launch.
You won't get the GR Corolla that way, as it's awarded for participation in the Toyota GR GT Cup, but yes to the Himedic. A few seconds should be enough.Regarding the Toyota HiMedic and GR Corolla... what do I need to do with the livestream? Can I watch for five minutes and that counts, or do I have to sit through the entire thing? I’m going out with friends tomorrow and I don’t care about the stream, I just want the cars.
Phew! Thank you. I was worried I might miss out and then have to wait for the Himedic to hit the dealership.You won't get the GR Corolla that way, as it's awarded for participation in the Toyota GR GT Cup, but yes to the Himedic. A few seconds should be enough.
You'd be surprised at how many PR people within manufacturers, including high end ones, actually don't care/know about games.You would think companies would WANT their cars in the game considering the amount of people playing Gran Turismo. You’d think that would give PD some kind of leverage but perhaps it doesn’t.
Nobody is certain, but based on getting the movie-liveried NISMO GT3 for watching for a few seconds of the trailer, what @Famine said should be right. We'll know for certain Monday as I'm planning on watching just a bit on the PS5 today and tomorrow - if I get my HiMedic and engine ticket, then a few seconds was enough. If not, I'll have until 7 pm CDT August 20th to watch the whole thing.Regarding the Toyota HiMedic and GR Corolla... what do I need to do with the livestream?

I am not offended(I was just wondering...) and GT7 is not my favorite game(that would be Fallout New Vegas and RDR2)So stop being offended just because others, like me, don't like your favorite game.

There is the licensing problem on this, it's true, it's undeniable... But if small software houses (such as Kunos Simulazioni, or KW Studios, formerly known as SimBin and Sector3 Studios, and also Slightly Mad Studios) manage to solve licensing problems, which are usually money problems, we know it... Are we really supposed to believe that PD, which has Sony behind it, can't solve these same problems? Really? Come on...
