Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.43 Now Available: Adds Three Cars, New Races & Engine Swaps

[mastretta_mx]

Looking at the PS Twitter account, they haven't posted anything since the Layoffs blogpost yesterday so maybe it'll be a case of the blog going up on the day of the update.

They added a Story in instagram 5 minutes ago (sharing Lucas Ordonez sim rig)

I think the trailer is late because of Sony's shenanigans.

 

[Eggstor]

I don't think we'll see anything on the PS blog for at least another hour as they just posted the March PS+ games.

If you don't get your hopes up, you won't be disappointed.

We all know that - but we just can’t help it

Unless.. Update is so weak we didn't get even a trailer

Do we really even need a trailer? It'll just be 30 secs of 3 road cars sliding round a track.

Alongside the trailer we get a high level overview of the update(not only the cars) then tomorrow more details with the patch notes

But which track?

 

[Nielsen]

But which track?

BB Raceway

 

[Krivousti]

But which track?

I doubt we'll get a track. Hope i'm wrong.....

 

[TumeK5]

BB Raceway

Never seen BB Raceway in a trailer.

I guess they'll have to reinvigorate the playerbase!

 

[Lomic]

If we get a track it is a rally one, staged in the Sahara for some 4L Trophy events 🤣

Again, this is my point being made for me...

This is such a dumb thing to try to be right over. Everyone knows Cote De Azur was fantasy Monaco.

Curiously, you've missed the point while stating it...

 

[Ranchero66]

I doubt there’s many MTX transactions going on. I think they’re priced too high to be tempting. In the U.K. it's a quarter the price of the game to get just 2 million credits!?

Compare that to Fortnite though and maybe that’s reasonable? The game is free though so a different model of business

Even on places like the subreddit, which pride themselves on literally living on this game and grinding, polls show that up to 30% of players there are using MTX.

So imagine the how the casuals play. Thats the point. MTX, and the FOMO systems that go with them, are designed to get people with little time and little money to buy. That's why 7's UCD, Legends and invites work the way they do, combined with the grind - they spread your time and resources thin and encourage you to hit that "Top up on ps store" button

 

[ZevZoq]

can you point me to one of those polls on reddit?

 

[RaY29rus]

Ahhh I guess at this point it's safe to say I will have to witness the return of the glorious Evo IX tomorrow at work

 

[Ranchero66]

There's been quite a few over the last few years, mainly on the "main" sub. I'll see if I can find one. They've gone between 15% and 30% from what I've seen

 

[BlackHGT]

Maybe PD can save lot of money by not doing these GT Worlds series stuffs 🤔

I think PD makes a lot of money with the World Series. I think they could earn more from it than from selling the game.

here's one from a couple years ago. Less than 10% yes...

I'd imagine a fair number of mtx sales are people new to the game who have no idea how small a dent 2,000,000 credits makes in the total needed...even for a 20 mil car.

And that's, again, the place that prides itself on grinding.


People used to say the same thing about GTAO, "nobody buys shark cards" and then it came out that shark cards made up a massive portion of R*/TakeTwo's income.

While I don't think it's as high as GTAO, I have no doubt that significant chunk of people regularly buy GT credits

I 1,000,000% agree with you. How can they add so many irrelevant cars to the industry, waste so much potential and be so relaxed about it.

Besides the second gen TT, here is a list of others I think the same about them:

• Bvlgari car/whatever-the-hell-it-is.
• Ford Raptor for pickup racing???
• Duplicate Renault Sport Clio EDC 220....
• 1932 Ford Roaster (worthless without events)
• Italdesign wtf cars....
• Mercedes Barker Tourer (20,000,000 for what, arcade mode only????)
• Toyota Tundra and the Alphard... honestly wtf. Even the ambulance, what kind of stupidity.
• Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Touring Berlineta (another 20MM car that is worthless)

I will say - I understand the place of many of these vehicles.


In a previous GT game, that is.

GT7 just doesn't have the event types or car list to support some of these. For example the Tundra/Raptor replaced street trucks of previous games - why? There's less offroading now than ever, so why do we have offroad focused trucks now?

Same for many of the vintage racecars - no class or events. And there's so few that for the most part, you'd struggle to even buy a grid of them for custom race.

The wierd oddballs like the ambulance, alpahd, etc had their place in previous GT games, that had huge car lists to begin with and the oddballs were just that - fun oddballs. But when we have a car list shot full of massive holes and we get stuff like the Jimny, Ambulance, etc it really is just questionable, besides the obvious "GT has wierd cars nostalgia"

 

[PlanetJanet]

The Jimny, Alphard, Ambulance, Barker Tourer, Alfa Touring Berlinetta etc. are all awesome.

Hah, of course he would poo your post.

Yes, they are. But they are pointless in a game that doesn't give them much content if at all. Why would you buy the Barker Tourer for? It doesn't make any sense at all. Same goes for the Alfa and some others... Cool cars but useless, hence worthless and a waste.
