Gran Turismo 7 Update Coming July 28

[KCR]

What's your (and many other like-minded people) problem with people "complaining"?

Just speaking for myself - the quantity and staleness of the complains, making most threads insufferable.
Quite a few good points are made, but having every news subject flooded with the same "the game is not finished / the new cars are cr*p / PD is the devil / ..." is not particularly nice to read.

Personally I thought the game was fantastic until I started reading this forum. Was a bit of shock to learn how terrible it is 😋

 

[NICKname]

Did it? Because I'm still seeing a lot of people who's hobby is typing out paragraph after paragraph, thread after thread, week in, week out, complaining about the game. They clearly do not think that whatever came in March fixed the game.

Improved, not fixed. It went from bad to mediocre.

If the ball was already rolling why would PD waste time reducing race payouts across the board only to increase them the very next patch?

Are they rolling it uphill in this scenario?

One must imagine Kazunori happy.

The quantity and "staleness" comes from the fact that... they have to be brought up in these types of threads, and most of the time, are actually forced. Especially this one thread which is about the updates, and some people here are bringing up crap like the game has been fixed or is fine the way it is, and then these "complaints" have to be brought to light again to make people realize... reality.

The game at its core components, and I've said this many times, has everything to be the best racing game ever.
And the problems it currently has are easily fixable by just changing some lines of code. But for some reason... PD simply doesn't listen or communicate with its playerbase and makes the most horrid design decisions possible.


EDIT: Take for example the "Selling Cars" feature. Can anyone tell me a good reason for it to not be in the game in the first place other than obviously the MTXs? And from the way they made the "damage-control" post back in March after the huge backlash, it looked like they never even wanted this in the first place.

Only 3 new Cars..They can't or they wan't give us more new Cars with every Uptade?

So the solution is don't read the forum, kind of ironic to be complaining about complaining, when your pouring fuel on the fire. If you have nothing to add why bait? seems petty to me.

 

[OFautomotive]

Any guess about the day / hour of available content ?

I do not think it is entirely absurd to be displeased that the majority of discourse on a forum quite clearly catered to fans of the game is a lot of negativity with some of it coming from people who openly do not own or play the game and have no desire to have their minds changed.

Everyone uses forums as their personal opinion toilet; this is a fact as old as the messageboard; but it is not therefore strange to complain that the place smells like crap.

A guess? Thursday the 28th, in the evening (for GMT+9).

I'm also guessing that the Porsche 918, if that's what it is, will join the Carrera GT as an Invite Required car, for ~1,300,000 Cr.
I'm also guessing that it'll be more easily acquirable while it's HOT, with a Porsche invitation up for grabs in another Bonus (events) or Extra (own three certain Porsches) Menu Book.

The fact that in this very same forum, of people who clearly love the franchise (otherwise, why even bother register and posting on the GT section of this forum anyway), still take a dump on the game itself, speaks about the state of the game... as clear as clean river freshwater.

It's not absurd, like at all, to be displeased with the negativity. It is however not at all contributive to post complains about other people complaining. That just doesn't resolve anything, and the people who usually do this, are usually triggered by something.

This is a forum for us to share opinions and be open for discussions. You see someone complaining, you have two options. You ignore it, or you try to discuss and reason with that person.

[Attempts to put something constructive in this thread]

So, any idea on what track they'll bring if any? and what other features?

Apricot Hill would be my shout as it's the only real possibility unless they surprise us with another new track.
Selling cars? Probably not, but would be nice finally.

This guy has offered no opinion just wants to stir the worst kind of forum lurker. For me the game now has a second wind im loving it again, but to get here Ive had to endure a hideous repetitive grind. Thankfully once the grind is over you can introduce variety and choice back into the equation, this would have been unnecessary if the monetization decisions had not been at the "expense" ho ho of fun. Something as simple as having a flat rate of credits per mile could have allowed us to grind across a wide variety of tracks and car classes and the game would not have been soured, and monetization would have been unaffected too. I see a lot of value in the forums even if they can become slightly toxic, as a pushback against poor design choices, there is no value in whining for the sake of whining.

and some people just have severe diarrhea

Own the 917K, Carrera GT and 911 GT1 for the chance to get an invitation to buy the 918

Indeed, there have been plenty of instances where a thread has been ticking over fine only for someone to bait with "people get free updates but will complain anyway" or similar, and then the negativity escalates. It comes down to debating the points raised rather than the fact people are raising points that people dislike or going for the person themselves.

And I actually agree that it can appear overly negative in some threads at times, but people can counter that with discussions about what they like without attacking those who hold a more critical view. Or by simply debating with those who are critial over why you think they are wrong and raising the points as to why you think the game is good without making it personal or just being a complaint about complaining. It may well result in an agree to disagree scenario, but it'll make for a much better discussion.

 

[OFautomotive]

I would like to see Silverstone as a new track

 

[mynameis66]

Grand Valley for me,thats my top choice,both variants.Having said that any new track added is a good thing.

 

[evldave333]

What would be awesome is an entirely new original track addition, the team did a stellar job with Maggiore and Dragon Tail for instance. As much as I love the returning tracks either originals or real world, they're quick to master again. I think we can all agree that Watkins Glen was a breath of fresh air, hopefully we have something new this week, shame they don't do the partial track layout reveals along with the silhouettes (might have had it sussed by now).

 

[TheRacer94]

No Road America or Motegi i hope.big wishlist circuit for me is Yas Marina

 

[dcmo3]

Until gt7, I hadn't played since gt5/gt6. My wheel wasn't compatible for PS4, I didn't know there was software I could use, they didn't drop another main title for the PS4, and I didn't want to spend the money on two more rigs.

That being said, I remember Grand Valley and it was pretty good. The track that really sticks out for me though, which I have to have or I'll feel like the game was never complete, is Monaco. Beautiful course, and the only city I ever truly enjoyed racing in. I don't really care about them adding more cars, more than happy with what I've got, but new/additional tracks are always desirable.

 

[manofsteel]

Again, another 3 completely random and pointless cars that neither fit in or enhance any of the current events available. It's just a boring and predictable appeasement.

Why not try something like GR3 pack, or a GR4 pack, something people can actually use in existing offline or online events, rather than the only way to use added cars is in custom races, which pay peanuts.

This is literally just a car collection simulator, with the motto 'more cars is best', rather than a proper racing game where each content drop either complements or enhances races and events already in the game.

Surprise surpirse, it's only been that since 1997

Well to be fair this is the first game in the series to track your car collection progress

Most likeliest real-circuits to appear in order - along with corresponding vehicle, imo:

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb - Racing-grade Tesla Model 3 [Any moment...]

Silverstone Circuit - Caterham/Lotus/Jaguar XJ220/Cosworth/McLaren-Honda MP4/4 [Not if, When?]

Road Atlanta - Cunningham C-4R '52/Chevrolet Corvette C8 '20-22 [Coming This Fall for DEFINITE!]

Mobility Resort Motegi/Sportsland Sugo - Fairlady Z GT500 '22/NSX-GT Type S GT500 '22 [Either this Fall/2023]

Sebring International Raceway - LMDh/LMh/DPi '22/23 [Q1 2023]

Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Pebble Beach Winner 2018: AAR Eagle Indy Car '66 / Dallara DW12-IR18 [May'ish 2023]

Imola Circuit - Ferrari'22/F1/LMh [Spring 2023]

Yas Marina/Circuit of the Americas [Autumn 2023]

Bahrain International Circuit/Road America/Sonoma Raceway [2024/25///GT8]

Circuit de Monaco [keep B E L I E V E ing]

Most likeliest real-circuits in order

In order?

There should be a giant gap after Bahrain containing literally every race track - real, fictional, proposed, from other games - ever conceived of before Monaco. The existence of the old "Cote d'Azur" circuit and the fact lots of people keep calling it Monaco just about ensures it will never officially appear in the GT series as Circuit de Monaco.

Or, more likely, a spot of rectomancy.

[alex511]

I want more GT original courses like Apricot hill. Thats it, what makes the difference of GT to other racing games which have the "standard" real world tracks.

 

[Nebuc72]

Not sure if Kaz usually does this, but he retweeted the update announcement earlier today.

Might mean something, might not. Probably not.

 

[FerrariF40]

I can and I have.

Impossible

Road America - Cunningham C-4R '52/Chevrolet Corvette C8 '20-22 [Coming This Fall for DEFINITE!]

Fixed it for you.
