[dimassa19]

I really like selection of cars this go round, but I'm going to refrain from calling it a 'Big Update' if only it's just the cars, a big update should include a track and some significant changes to the game.

Nice to see we have a new resident doomposter telling everyone PD is a failure and that we shouldn't be excited because of their personal disappointment. Invaluable member to the community.

Gt still doing well dog, we still here, 25 yrs from back then, still getting hyped

We're going thru it - make or break right now

Dude just popped up to spread it

It's just crazy. I've never seen a franchise have so many people with an inability to move on than the GT franchise does - let alone ones projecting their own insane expectations (and thus disappointments) onto everyone at every opportunity.

What do you think we can expect in terms of festures and single player, the 7 cars one new Track and new engine swaps are pretty safe bets, i however dont think we get a gt league in gt7, but hopefully more menu books that introduces new catogory of races we dont have, or championchips, maybe even endurance races it would be a good time now,
Overhoul over the game economy would also be welcome for me, if its just events i think it will be more than the standard 3, more in the likes of 5-10 considering the bigger car drop
Outside of sophy its not much features they can bring i would think, i would not be supriced if their is more of those challanges,
If their is anything major outside of cars and track it will proably be revealed tomorrow when the trailer drops

For me, an overhaul of the in-game economy to make more of the current events more relevant would be welcome as well as custom races where the payouts just don't make sense. As it is, we just have a couple races that folks end up having to grind for credits which is what they said they long ago that they wanted to avoid.

I would even be ok if those races paid a little less if it meant the rest paid more so we had variety while trying to increase our credits. At least make the reward system make sense by being based on certain parameters like time, distance, difficulty settings, etc. ....more linear in the payouts especially for custom.

Sophy is also a huge one for me and if by some chance it makes it into GT7 with this update, I will be very happy. Even if all else remains equal, Sophy would breathe new life into this game for me simply due to the challenge. I would certainly start revisiting all of the various races, begin making new custom ones, etc. Hopefully if it does get implemented, it's is fully realized vs. just available in a select few, unique races they set up.

Haha. I don't understand these people either. Ultimately, it's a racing game. A very aesthetically pleasing racing game with some problems. Yes, I want new courses and cars but at the end of the day, it'll be me and a Porsche practicing hot laps on whatever course I'm fixated on this week, whether it's new or old.

I don't need a story mode, a progressive career mode, or some kind of artificial game design pat on the back to make me try and lower my lap time. The game would have been 100% better if it had those things, as it would have encouraged more gamers to become racing hobbyists, but those are just bells and whistles for me.

As it is, we just have a couple races that folks end up having to grind for credits which is what they said they long ago that they wanted to avoid.

This is probably the biggest problem with the game. Their payout scheme is really a slap in the face to online racers and custom racers alike. I'd rather build out a GR3 custom race on a track without official GR3 races than jump into some high-paying sloppy race on the same course. But if there's a car that I want, then I really can't as my time is limited, so dumb sloppy races it is.

I've also been focusing more online racing and I'm more broke than I've ever been in this game. How are you encouraging anyone to keep racing if you penalize their invested time by anchoring the payout to their finish position? Most people would think, "7th place and $10,000 credits, wow. What a waste of 20 minutes. Back to the offline races." The reduced payout completely disincentivizes players from doing online racing, which could literally kill the shelf life of this game.

I don't know, I saw a similar pattern on CivFanatics. Every time there was an update to Civ VI, a loud section of the hardcore 'fans' would be doomposting, lamenting the fall of the series and yearning for the days of Civ IV. Sadly I think it's just classic internet but I agree that it's rather tiresome.

The children (well, oldies..) yearn for the doomstacks!

 

[TumeK5]

something low-powered would feel very slow.

Well, they're only good for a handful of tracks either way, so I didn't feel like mentioning them.

I just meant the simple layout with plenty of width makes it an ideal track for most cars.

People are and we have a tendency think everything older is better. Sometimes when we remember the past we don't remember the bad things just the good things. It's the same with games. Whatever the current version of our favorite game is it not as good as some older version. GT7 is a perfect example of this. I played all of the mainline games and none of them are perfect of flawless I can find problems with every last one of them. Doesn't mean that they were bad just not perfect. I have a lot of issues with GT7 but to me it is not bad as some make it out to be.

Some people live by a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" mentality and think that their histrionic outbursts actually strengthen their position by demonstrating passionate outrage. Then the developer makes a change, and like a bird in a skinner box, these people think that their loud squawking created the change.

New update. More squawking, repeat the bird brain psychological loop.

I used to get annoyed by these people but they're fighting for the consumer, me. So even if they're annoying I wouldn't turn against the demands of other consumers.

Sounds like you’ve made up your mind regardless of what the update brings but hey thanks for contributing to making a hostile environment for people who actually want to play and enjoy the game… really shows what kind of person you are…

Ps it’s someone that people don’t really want to hang around

Why are people not allowed to express there feelings about this game on a public forum?

Not everyone loves online play, to be pushed off track again by a frustrated person that cannot take it when they pass him.
And i also get it that people don't enjoy a career where you have to start yet again from scratch, always starting from the back and try to pass absurd AI.

At the end of the day this game can be so much better and i don't blame people for being negative. Especially after the update were they intentionally lowered payouts.

I don't care what someones feelings on the game is, it's fine to be disappointed by whatever you want - I care when they are in your face, replying to everything whilst repeating the same dramatic points about why the company is pathetic that they've said 30 times already, based around the reality that they've not been happy since 2004. It's pathetic, not productive, and doesn't contribute anything to anywhere.

It's contributing massively to the forum being downright depressing to browse, because any constructive discussion about the game is met with unhinged ramblings about why being excited is actually wrong. What's 'expressive' about going on about how people looking forward to an update are going to be like bugs splattered on a windscreen? It's nothing but being irritating and contrarian for the sake of it.

Yeah rose tinted spectacles, we've never had it so good... One of my early driving games check out the Lamborghini Countach living the dream in 1991 on the C64... 10 min tape load time... not guaranteed to work either... and one button joystick... no updates... no saves even lol

Let it go. It's an unfortunate feature of this forum. Hype and disappointment. Don't read the update threads.

I don't know. Are they fighting for their fellow consumer or are they only fighting for themselves and trying to convince others that they are doing it for them?

That's a bit of a sad answer though, isn't it? It's nice to have a place to discuss your favourite franchise with other people who like the same franchise.
Running away from that because of people who haven't aged mentally for 20 years is a bit of a downer for everyone invovled, I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing disappointment in how prevalent those voices are becoming.

They're definitely doing it for themselves, but our want for more content overlaps, so they're fighting for me as well. They're like useful idiots and it's a waste of time to argue with someone about how they're communicating because they're bad at communicating and will throw their ire and rage at anyone like a crazed gorilla throwing its dung against the walls.

It’s becoming acceptable practice here to project their negativity into anything that’s positive instead of just letting people enjoying the hype and positivity they have towards it

Brother your post was taking the mick out of PD by adding another civic and another Silvia, keep playing that victim card because you looked foolish, clearly you’re butt hurt about it still

Ps where we’re those 2x Silvias and 2x Civic in Kazs tweet?

of all the people that need to relax, you apparently are at the top of the list

look how upset you are over two posts that were unserious jokes. was "silvia VGT junior with an open cockpit" not a clear enough telegraphing of a joke for you? jesus christ lmao

was CANADIAN THANKSGIVING SCAPE not a clear enough joke?

I'll take door number two.

 

[slthree]

Please, while I'm no moderator, I'd like to remind everybody that we all have racing games in common and we want to enjoy them the best we can.

I hope you don't argue but if you do would you argue privately in private chat?

I'm definitely no saint as Ive been part of internet forum arguments in the past but they're never worth it and you don't feel good after.

Let's talk about the positives and the negatives in a mature fashion and we don't have to insult people for their opinions.

So i really agree with what you are saying. The fact that many people react this way says enough.

Personally: i maybe come across as being negative. I'm actually quite excited about the update and i do hope that lots of content and QoL updates are implemented. The first thing i'll do is buy that GT3 and race it!

People also stay in the past because the tendency for game developers these days is to strip as many content possible only to drip feed it to us afterwards. I paid 100 euros for this game and i'm still waiting on real endurance races being added (not that one hour 4x progression crap), were before GT7 these kind of races were standard in the game.

Why can't i start a new career ?
Why can't i buy certain cars unless i have an invitation?
Same 3 high paying races for a year and a half at his point?

That's the stuff people complain about.

And yes i doesn't need to be in your face all the time and it contributes nothing.

So i'm happy that you are excited for the next update, so am i.

 

[Famine]

Oh good, we're at that stage. Couldn't see that coming from a mile away with two weeks' hype fatigue setting in.

People are entitled to post anything they like, so long as they abide by the AUP. We do not require that people only post positive things about any game in its subforum, only that they do not break the AUP - whether they're complaining or praising.

Complaining about the complaints is just useless, unless your goal is to make everything worse.

If you don't like what someone is saying, either engage with their points, or ignore them (with the Ignore feature, if you need a tech solution).

Making comments about their character and name-calling are not among the acceptable options.

 

[Skinku]

I’m excited

 

[Parenji]

Just give me a new real track and psvr2 update
