Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.36 Now Available: Adds Four Cars Including GR Corolla

[hawkeyez]

I swear this website is held up by salt alone .
I'm going to buy grid legends and just **** on it daily on that sub forum and with good reason , the best grid is the first grid and everything after has been inferior. There Is even a YouTuber who frequently regurgitates the crying on this forum and has grown exponentially. A salt mine of epic proportions. The members who post the most literally only post to complain and dog pile on non complainers. Like, god damn, go play another game . I disliked the last far cry , played it a bit , got sad the series had changed from what I enjoyed ,Voiced my opinion on a YouTube video review, uninstalled it and went on my way . What I don't do Is go on the far cry forums just to point out how much I hate far cry 6. The game you guys seem to want exist and it's not GT . The fact you guys don't enjoy those games enough to talk about them , but instead dog on GT tells me those games aren't very good , because if they were I wouldn't be touching granturismo ever.

Imma go make some funny liveries now.

Lol. I tried that evil dead game. Sucked. Deleted it and never talked about it again. Ever, until now.

I think the thing with racing games is a lot of people are fairly passionate about them. What comes with that is people voicing their opinion on things. I don’t come on here and say, hey everyone I played GT7 today and it just made my day and btw the cobra is the best car in the game. Go GT7!

A good movie gets talked about, good and bad, discussions are had, opinions are voiced whether positive or negative. A bad movie usually just fades into the abyss only to be forgotten.

Gran Turismo has always teetered on simulator and arcade. So I think it’s inevitable that there will always be a push and pull between players. GT7 for me is right in that zone where it leaves you wanting more from it. I think that’s a good thing. Some were upset with the physics changes, some welcomed it, some like the quirky vehicles, some don’t. The only way to escape the salt is to delete your account and move on or simply don’t let it bother you. If you enjoy it, nobody can take that away from you. People can criticize or cut down my favourite band all day long, won’t change my mind at all or bother me. When I was a teen it would because my viewpoint was “wwhhhaatt? how could you not like them?” but now I think, who cares what you think, in my eyes they’re awesome.

Now we need a fire truck, maybe an old one like 1920's, and make it where it can spray water and get the track wet.

So there is something for anyone in this update...what's wrong with that ?

If your preference is an ambulance, then you’re playing the wrong game in the grander scheme of things. That’s what’s wrong.

Gran Turismo translates to “Grand Touring”.

And by that measure, my Ford Transit which is used in anything from a work van, a motor home, a toy hauler, a short bus, a fire engine, and an ambulance, qualifies.

Not to mention, my van when empty will walk past most any civic on the highway when I give it the beans.

Vehicles like the HiMedic is what makes Gran Turismo great (again).

 

[ScottPuss20]

"Screw Gran Turismo"

Keeps playing it anyway

It seems I'm playing the right game, since this is the one with an ambulance to race in it.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Porsche Tiger for me.

Ambulance is nice but I'm still waiting on the Lamborghini Tractor. 🙂

and let's not forget

 

[o000o]

Adding useless cars, something GT did since the beginning. What's so great about the "BiG CaR LiSt" GT had, just filled with cars nobody wants to drive. Maybe those arcade games are better in car list cuz it has cars that matter.

And GT forcing the players to drive that in the beginning of the game is just insulting and restricting.

 

[Yard_Sale]

“Cuz” why is it insulting though?

 

[Techlet]

I love that the focus is all on the Toyota ambulance because the other Toyota has yet to be drip fed to the playerbase (and won't be for most players until the end of September because reasons).

 

[PuffelPizza]

I bet people would get mad if they added my dad's car, the Nissan Primera (1998 model).

People get mad by default and go like "Why this and why not this instead??!!"

 

[05XR8]

Uh, no. I've got 20 Search entries of me wanting the Nissan Primera back in the game. "We"(I ain't speaking French) needs this car!

Yet GT7 doesn’t have a variety of work vans, motor homes, busses, fire engines, etc. This clearly suggests that this Himedic ambulance has arrived in a game where it does not belong.

Not to mention, my van when empty will walk past most any civic on the highway when I give it the beans.

Which says very little about the general driving experience. I’m sure the Civic owners you come across are experiencing a higher degree of driving pleasure than you are getting in your van.

Vehicles like the HiMedic is what makes Gran Turismo great (again).

That’s certainly one way to totally disregard all effort PD put into simulating hundreds of performance cars most people would never get to drive on a circuit in real life.

GT has a history of bringing driving pleasure into our living rooms, and that’s exactly what you get from the majority of cars in the game. GT7 really needs more cars though, so why welcome something engineered for carrying sick people? Not exactly ideal for cutting an apex. I know some people are into the absurdity of it, but absurdity is not what made Gran Turismo popular.

It may not be for you, but I found driving the ambulance to be a very pleasurable experience. Clearly a lot of people agree, so what's the harm in it? Not every vehicle can be for everyone.

Absolutely not, considering the huge potential of creating our BTCC version

 

[Nakano219]

People are having fun and enjoying using a vehicle in a video game, therefore that vehicle was probably a good inclusion into the video game. I don't think any analysis needs to go any deeper than that, really.

I’m not saying every car must appeal to everyone, but let’s say the update had brought the Mercedes 190 E Evo instead of the ambulance. Just an example as it gets mentioned on this forum all the time. It would not please everyone, but it would benefit the game in meaningful ways.

Yesterday I had a good time driving different versions of the Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ. The game often gets blamed for having too many cars that are similar to each other, but I spent a couple of hours comparing them against each other. Not only are these cars a blast to drive, but the subtle differences between them also demonstrate what GT has done so well since forever. The ambulance is so different to almost everything else in the game that it might as well had been a golf cart. It showcases an extreme contrast within the game, and in doing so it’s also implied there’s not much use for it.

 

[Dave A]

In fact it's a meme-more car... 🚨🚨

 

[breyzipp]

I voted the Chevrolet C1 in the poll since I love vintage cars but I don’t mind the ambulance either. I like diversity in the car roster and the ambulance sure adds to that.

Loving the MC20 as well!

 

[HarVee]

I don't mind the ambulance. When you look back into it, almost every GT game has had one wacky car. Perhaps this ambulance is GT7's Moon Rover, Patent Wagen or Espace F1?

Voted the C1 Corvette on the poll though. I like the ambulance and all, but finally a '50s American car!

As lightly referenced in the article, the featured image, and a subsequent comment, an ambulance was not only an unlikely star of a feature film about an absolutely insane race, it really did it as well.

The Transcon Medi-Vac ambulance featured in The Cannonball Run - a van converted into an ambulance built to win the coast-to-coast race, on the basis that cops wouldn't pull it over, and driven by Burt Reynolds and Dom de Luise - is based on an actual event that happened in the real Cannonball Baker trophy in 1979.

Cannonball champ and founder Brock Yates and Hal Needham (the writer and director of The Cannonball Run respectively) actually converted a Dodge Tradesman van into an ambulance and fitted it with a 440 Wedge V8 for the real race, on basically the same idea. Not only that, it was the exact same vehicle that appeared in the film itself.

It was also used as a support vehicle for the Budweiser Rocket car used at Bonneville (also owned by Hal Needham), but was sold on and then vanished at some point.


While that's all a far cry from a 150hp Toyota minivan, it's also somewhat indicative that pretty much anything can be used for motorsport and hurr durr amperlamps is a fairly... uneducated response to its inclusion.

But nobody's compelled to like it.

 

[tankuroded]

And GT forcing the players to drive that in the beginning of the game is just insulting and restricting.

What are you referring to? The 356 Spyder as the mandatory Music Rally car here, or the mandatory Honda Fit RS '10 purchase in GT6?

 

[i386]

and let's not forget

Not the meat wagon (from rogue trip)?

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Not the meat wagon (from rogue trip)?

WIENERS WIERNERS WIENERS PUT EM IN YOUR MOUTH

 

[TumeK5]

Not the meat wagon (from rogue trip)?

That car always twisted my brain cells...where is the cockpit? If it's in the car itself...good, but slightly inconvenient. If it's inside the sausage...THAT MAKES NO SENSE, THE SAUSAGE FLOATS WHEN YOU'RE IN MIDAIR, AND IF YOU USE THE SPECIAL THE DRIVER MUST SUFFER FROM SEVERE MOTION SICKNESS

I chose the C1 I believe and I haven't had the chance to drive the ambulance because I haven't played in a few days but from all of the videos I have seen I am very excited about it. IMO the MC20 is a beast of a car especially maxed out. Very quick and responsive the brakes are not the greatest but that's not really an issue.

You can change the brakes, right?

Where did I say, that my preference is an ambulance...?

I like a diverse car-rooster, and a few utility cars in that rooster are no problem for me and definitly not a reason for complaints!
