Gran Turismo 7's 1.25 Update is Coming This Week, With Four New Cars

[CodeRedR51]

ND 2.0L is welcome so I can make a proper MX-5 Cup car.

 

[Famine]

For those interested, this is a Merak (top), a Merak SS (middle), and a Merak 2000GT (bottom); I've circled in blue the major external physical difference between the three:

Yep, the base Merak has a no grille between the headlights, while the SS and the low-output, 2.0 V6 version weirdly do. The 2000GT is distinguishable by the black styling line and lack of (although optional) front air dam.

Here's the tweaked silhouette:

Now, I'm not saying it's not there, just that I can't see it if it is...

Don't mean to be a downer but that's not the best foot forward by PD for a "larger update".

We have two "duplicates" in the form of another R35 GT-R GT3 and another ND Miata. I doubt too many people are going to get excited by those.

Then we have two cars destined for the god-awful Legends dealer. Yay.

Even though I have no time to play this game anymore, I'm sometimes glad I'm not worrying over it much anymore, the last several updates still have not addressed even the most basic issues PD highlighted in their "roadmap" for fixes and improvements.

It's too bad because the core game itself is so good. It's just everything around it seems designed specifically to guide you away from it and turn you off of wanting to play the game.

🤔 humm CAR

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

Pretty decent update for a change. All real world cars, no VGT fantasy BS. And a brand new edition with the Merak 👍

I dunno, I think fantasy cars can be fun. They're very imaginitive

Excellent news.Like i said,not being dickish just didnt want to get my hopes up a week early,nice one. 👍

 

[05XR8]

In that case, I want the 1995 Saturn SC2 (the only sporty car I've managed to have).

Well, this is what I’m currently driving in real life. So, bring it back.

 

[Harley45]

Damn still no Reliant Robin .....

 

[Canucks_9419]

Fingers are crossed for an overhaul of the World Map menu, look forward to seeing what's to come this week though!

 

[GBalao888]

I dunno, I think fantasy cars can be fun. They're very imaginative

The reason why people complain about them is because they're too impressive that they won't even get a chance to be recreated accurately in the real world, and plus fantasy cars take more time to build than actual ones.

 

[Artremis]

I dunno, I think fantasy cars can be fun. They're very imaginitive

I'm fine with VGTs personally, but I think most of the complaints come from only getting 3 cars per month and having one slot "wasted" on a fake car (and for two of the updates that brought VGTs, they were just variations of existing ones). Add that to PD mostly pretending the world ended in 2017 and well...

 

[Nebuc72]

That's an interesting wish.. what are you hoping will change there?

 

[Grimm6Jack]

The Merak and the Hakosuka are nice additions. But just that... nice, not super great or game changing.

The other 2... Just another R35 GT-R, as if we don't have enough of those, and ND Miata. I would've been fine with a NB or NC Miata though since those are the two generations left to be in the game and are unique generational models.
PD doing it as usual...


All irrelevant anyway. Unless something lika a significant supercar or hypercar or some significant race car makes an appearance, they won't really excite people that much.


Now... Selling Cars and More Missions and Formula/Red Bull/Gr.1/Gr.2 Championship Events.
Come on PD!!! 君なら出来るよ

These are really the only things that will pull me back into the game. Unfortunately, we only know about them when the updates are up.

 

[Mathaios_C]

Let’s hope for a good amount of new events where to drive those cars. We really need events for every single car in the game. Cmon PD U CAN DO IT!!!!

If they add just extra collectors menu is going to be a shame

 

[MroczMR]

I think they're still doing the 3 car rule but are adding an additional slot for variant models. The DLCs had been poorly received when a copy model took one of the slots. It's safe to say the new R35 GT3 and the C110 Skyline GT-R aren't copies of the existing counterparts but that MX5 looking car is an immediate twin of the existing ND model rather than a NB model.

The datam*ne did reveal some variant models in the backlog so this should be the expected trend going forward.

well. Even if this is true.
Having additional variant per update is better than just having 3 new cars.
And always liked variety in car variants in GT Series, it added a little bit of realism to the game by being able to met on track different versions of a car.

 

[Boltar]

M4 GT4? M4 GT3? The new M4? M5 CS? M4 CSL? 4 Cyl C63? Hockenheim?

Heck no, lets have some more GTRs

Why dont call this game GTR instead of GT? I mean, its obvious.

Man, PD seriously has fully lost their track and mind.

 

[DivitLad]

Where is the game heading now we have no more menu books, says in ending movie about the next chapter, probably wishful thinking for a GT Mode with fulfilling races like previous GT games.

 

[Canucks_9419]

That's an interesting wish.. what are you hoping will change there?

I'd mainly like to see racing events themselves, as well as the championships get sorted into something much better. I like the menu as it is for a place to find arcade/time trial/circuit experience currently, it's the opening each track to find the next race in a series that's clunky and off-putting.

Ahhh fair enough, you mean the world circuits bit - I thought you meant the menu as a whole for some reason. Yeah I agree with that. If they continue adding more events it needs a massive restructure because it's near enough nonsensical as it is right now.

 

[KAlex122]

Thanks Kaz, that you looked at the birth date of my future child and now deliver a week earlier! ;-) I'll have a few more days before fatherhood hits hard.

 

[dhandeh]

I reckon this will be one of the updates of the year.

 

[StealthVel]

I know it's a good idea to temper expectations for a track before we know what it is (if we're getting one), but I will dream of El Capitan regardless

 

[JTB10000]

I'm cool with any track as long as it isn't just a new layout and is good for racing.

 

[Eggstor]

Damn still no Reliant Robin .....

What about the Dacia Sandero?

 

[Quakebass]

Also weird to see an update that's 50% GT-R and not have everyone complaining about "duplicate" GT-Rs. The times truly are a-changing.

We’re in the Toyota era now.

 

[mynameis66]

Be good if they made the engines and parts available to buy,I d take that over selling cars,imo.

 

[breyzipp]

I thought bottom right might've been an NB MX-5, which would make more sense than another ND.

The ND RF version is on the leaked list so its probably that one.

 

[hyperspeed980]

The ND RF version is on the leaked list so its probably that one.

I thought that too, but like Famine said, if it was the RF you'd be able to see the sloping roof from the back. Which leads me to believe it's either the 2.0 model or an NR-A/Cup version.
