I'm glad GT's finally getting a road Escort as the series didn't get one until now. Throwback to Gran Turismo 2 almost getting one via the 1.8 GTI variant based on the demo versions.

I just dont find ev intresting so for me its hard to get excited for a Porsche mission x
Click to expand...
I've got no interest in the Mission X (or the 992 Turbo/Turbo S; especially not this month when FH5 is running a "whoops, all 992s" theme) either, but I'm not so self-centered as to not recognise that other people do.

As I said, when Ferrari unveiled the F80 and McLaren unveiled the W1, a lot of the conversation was around what car Porsche would launch to make the next "hypercar holy trinity" (after the LaFerrari/P1/918 Spyder). The Mission X, revealed as Porsche's own 75th anniversary present to itself - therefore already a landmark car - previews that car, to be revealed in 2025. That makes it significant, and acting like it doesn't because you're not personally gripped by it is conceited.

If an update contained five cars I wanted, chances are that nobody else would be that interested in it. But then it's not about me. Or you.
 
That’s promising to be a pumped update that’s worth getting hyped for. The Escort? Nice… The 2 Porsches? Even better! The classic Merc?

With that said, the Merc’s most probably gonna be a 20M car. I can bear with that. So long as PD doesn’t change any of the existing methods to earn credits and their payouts. :sly:

Aaaaand on the topic of the Merc, I suspect there will be at least one more menu book featuring it added too, although I’m not so sure about the theme, seeing as there are 3 racing Mercs in different categories (Le Mans, GT/Sportscars and now Formula 1), as well as 3 Formula 1 cars in the game now. Not sure if licensing is gonna be an issue for the latter becoming a reality, though. Anyway, really hoping they give a zero-mileage racing car that belongs to the Legends Car Dealership as a gift for completing the forthcoming menu book. Not even a 6-star Car Ticket is sufficient for the credits involved, at least to me.

I never expect pd to add cars just for my liking, know very well they cant please everyone. Mission x might be big, but its an ev witch dosent sound exciting for an hypercar at all, but could be good for the feature if pd keeps addding more up to date hyper cars.

I am kind of looking forward to 992 turbo through, it being in horizon 5 does not take anything away for me as i no longer play it, and pd goes extra length for car detail, and will be drivable in vr.

Escort, 992 Turbo and W196 are all winners to me.

I also speculate the W196 will be 20 million. If so, could we finally get those fabled endurance races promised after launch to help acquire the funds to buy it? Or is that wishful thinking?

A quick numbers race about the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196. If Tthe car is 20,000,000 Cr., you’d need 400,000,000 Cr. To replicate the twenty cars on a 1954 Formula One grid. If players can swing that in the next couple weeks while cars are on sale, the races that can be replicated that year are:

  • Grand Prix Belgium/Spa-Francorchamps(36 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Germany/Nurburgring(22 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Italy/Monza(80 Laps)

Happy collecting!

And people say micro transactions is a bad idea. :dopey:

I’m just kidding of course. Of course it’s a bad idea.

Sounds fun an a good grind challenge for me.:)
 
It's really interesting reading the replies to Kaz's tweet (one of the very rare times that reading a tweet's replies is useful). Obviously there's lots of people tweeting something to the effect of "can you add car X please Kaz", but there's a noticeable fanbase split - Western accounts ask for GT3s/Le Mans cars a lot, whereas Japanese accounts seem to most want more city cars and low-end '90s JDMs (think Toyota Altezzas and Honda CR-Xs, stuff that was good starter car material in GT2).

This 'split' is likely caused by different cultures. But that is not a bad thing, this 'split'. Different audiences mean we do and likely will continue to see different types of cars. From track toys to grocery grabbers, there is room in GT7 for all.

Well, if I had to choose a side, I'd definitely stick with my fellow Japanese. I always catch myself eye rolling when I read the same "where are my updated GT3s?" over and over. Altezzas and CR-Xs all the way.

Spa had a completely different layout back then.
Monza had no chicanes yet.
Nurburgring had the old loop where the GP track is now.

So can't really do the same thing, and that's besides the fact that back then ye cars differed a lot between teams.

I when I read that post I immediately thought about you @Chikane_GTR .
As far the split I would love to see more low end JDM cars but I don't mind the GT3s as well. The one thing I love to see though is the one offs and oddball cars.
I normally don't get EVs in this car but the Mission X intrigues me and I want to try it out. If the Merc is 20 mil I guess I will try to get it before it leaves. I was working towards a 330 but I might wait on that. I have been waiting for 2 years so what's a couple more months?

The Japanese got it right then. The original GT was almost exclusively a JDM game, and sometimes I get the feeling that many people don’t appreciate that.

Same with concepts and prototypes. Always been a GT thing. And now people complain about it.
The VGT project is the evolution of this, imo. I don’t use the VGTs much myself as I wish for more realistic andusable ones like the BMW, but hey. GT has always had room for all kinds of cars like @HarVee says above.

Feels like the western (specifically US?) broader gaming audience wants the game to be more like other racing games. And the Japanese audience understands what the series was and expects it to be that way.

I'm on the eastern side. I'd rather have a game like GTR/2, GT Legends, or AC Competizione, that's dedicated to "traditional" or professional racing and with gameplay structured as such. Except make one or two good games instead of splitting different classes and eras of racing across 8 different games where none of them live up to their potential. And then let Gran Turismo be Gran Turismo and focus on what it does best.

Having the Human Comedy races paying their rewards every time we complete them, instead of being an one timer would be nice already. 😔

I'm not really sure why they wouldn't enable this. It's essentially part of the campaign and provides entertainment and enjoyment. I liked the strategy behind the curated races, but making a custom race is a waste of time in regards to credits.

It's also on par with what the normal races pay out as well, so it's not unreasonable..

One thing among many others that we can add to the pile labelled "wasted potential". Good job is done but not exploited to its full potential (I am looking at you good weekly events, even with custom liveries to recreate real events and championships)

Not sure what this mean? But I like grinding. Driving and grinding credits are my 2 favorite things to do in gt7.

To me holding on to 100M credits is more boring then grinding the same race 1000 times.

I know you do, and honestly more power to you my friend. I love racing and driving but not grinding all the time, hence the quote but it’s funnier if you get the reference 😊, I’ll let you find the answer yourself 😊
