Gran Turismo 7's Next "Big" Update is Coming This Week: Adds Seven New Cars

[RobertHammer]

Something that Forza has (correct me if I'm wrong here Xboxers) is that all tracks have weather?

That could be something for GT7 to directly compete with

from those 20 locations , yes

 

[Baka_Marimo]

Wagons are a useless waste of everything

You better not tell me you are into SUVs

People all joke about PD and GTRs, but we're getting close to that with 911s in this game now 👀👀

 

[scooterlord]

Allow me to make a prediction... first implementation of Sophy to all game races and/or implementation of standing start races w/ qualification rounds and race weekends...

 

[JustMac]

It's the biggest flaw in the game, we could have Championships for every car type on every track in this game, instead we are borderline trolled. "Here is new cars and tracks, let's do nothing with them"

This is exactly it. PD have an excellent "platform" for a truly great game but they don't seem to be capable of delivering the stuff they've already built. The lack of utilisation of the weather and night time features alone are maddening.

Let's hope this "big" update comprises content other than cars/tracks. Some kind of meaningful update to Sport Mode and the single player events would be like a shot of adrenaline, let's pray!

And I don't mean that to sound ungrateful about what we're being given -- adding the LFA alone is something we've wanted for ages now... Just give us some reasons to use the damn thing!

I understand and agree with the passion and frustration.
The 7 cars look excellent for time trials, a track is definitely due, sounds good so far but does nothing to fix a game that essentially has a guided campaign equivalent to GT3's Beginner League, and four events that pay 8x more than the rest.
At this point "something big" would be one to three more repeatable events to make the grind less boring for the first time in 18 months. Something huge would be more championships, IB, IA, S license events.

totally agree

I might agree if the 911s was Japanese...

'Dupes' are okay so long as they're NISMO 400R, I also like the fact we get all generations of a model like the 911, though there's other cars that are as deserving yet sill have multiple missing generations.

Mine's too. We tend to forget that GT7 has fantastic interiors models sublimed by the use of PSVR2.
And for me, driving a 400R or a Mine's Skyline is truly something else than a "classic" R33.

^this. I love having many generations of one model. I wish more cars in GT7 have sale treatment. Still waiting for Corvette C5 and other Ferraris V8s

 

[Raf997]

Nice cars but a big update means a track at the very least. Adding road cars and nothing else means it just falls into the poor offline experience of GT7 like all their other updates this year.

February and March update were kinda decent, actually. We got Grand Valley and Nurbugring layouts plus some decent events (poorly paid, though). April update was okay (120hz mode plus Super Formula cars) and May gave us Ultimate tuning shop, new music rallies and purchasable engines. It is from June and onwards that updates got very lame and mediocre.

Man soon as I saw we were getting the 400R I sold my fake one I made immediately! It did me good but… the real deal is coming so it had to go lol!

 

[debunix]

Yes. Driving without sound is nice in real life, but I am struggling with that in GT 😉

 

[Porsche_Racer]

I'm excited the new LFA. Yes, I'm a Porsche fan, BUT you can't deny that Yahama's V10 sounds amazing.

 

[PMK]

Eh, station wagons exist for practicality. You don’t need that in GT7.

M3 Touring, Alpina B5 Touring, Stagea 260RS, Forester STI/Legacy GT series, Audi RS Avant Series, E63 AMG Estate, Volvo 850/V70R/V60 T8 Polestar, CTS-V Sport Wagon, Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo, Altezza Gita/IS300 SportCross and lots lots more that people in this thread have already posted:

I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣

It is one of the best "problems" that exists. People seem to forget that Porsche used to be EA exclusive...

 

[Porsche_Racer]

You guys think we'll be able to swap the 1970(or '69, please lmk) Dodge Charger with the new Demon? Or the Hellcat engine in the 707hp Hellcat motor in the stock 2015 Charger?

 

[WolfpackS2k]

My personal ranking of the cars is:
LFA
190E (really really really hope it's the DTM racecar version)
Dodge Demon
992 GT3 RS (in general the 992s are ugly cars, and the RS the ugliest of all, so not too thrilled)
Nismo 400R
Charger

I thank PD for the cars, but all I really want are more car model/type/generation specific races AND LONGER RACES.

 

[MroczMR]

The 911 992 GT3 RS is actually pretty big deal since it opens up a way for very fresh new cars not being Toyota/Mazda or Nissan. This could mean we can expect every car since late 2022-early 2023

Sooo 296 gt3 is possible.

The Tesla is a 2023 model too (by the Nenkai confirmation tweet). Definitely not the brand I was expecting them to get super up to date cars from but neat that they can do so.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Welp, imma need to buy like 20 190Es for my grids. Bathurst, BTCC, DTM, gran turismo lore grids demand it. Not to mention the various road versions I'll need..

This E30, Sierra and this are going to be 25% of my garage by the time I'm done.

 

[XSquareStickIt]

The Nismo 400R holds a very special place in my heart, as I won a yellow one from achieving all gold on GT1's licence tests when I replayed GT1 a few years back. Even as modern cars get faster and easier to drive, seeing a 400R has always tickled that kid inside me. Can't wait to see it in modern day graphics! Maybe one day, the TRD3000GT will join it?

Only thing is, it's going to be a MASSIVE pain reapplying the 400R decals if I as much want to put a licence plate on it

I'm gonna pray PD will finally get rid of that silly system and give us the option to keep the original decals when repainting/applying new ones.

Unrelated note about 400R: imagine how awesome it would be to get those sweet Nismo wheels available for other Nissans

Populate lobby with a few AI

Some one wrote a thread about this, suggesting it could be done in time trial mode. I would love this in lobbies as well. More over the ability to select the A.I. cars from your own garage, and/or have a randomizer with filters. I'd imagine that depending on how many A.I. cars you've allowed in lobby will limit how many players can join. So the no. of vehicles in any one lobby adheres to the 16 vehicle limit. In reality I guess the no. of A.I you can add in lobby as apposed to time trial would have stricter limitations.

Though in the current dodgy state of lobbies this could perhaps make them even dodgier

(I should note by share tunes, I mean, I send my tune to a friend, they click on it, it says apply tune and all these parts, cost is X amount of credits, they click OK, now their car is tuned and setup exactly like mine. It’s tiring taking screenshots and sending that out, it’s difficult to match up perfectly, especially when some peoples settings pages are worded differently, being able to just share or upload a tune would make the process take about five seconds, they’ve really dropped the ball here)

We seriously need to be able to do this with our own duplicate cars. (Or can we?) Copy paste setup to said duplicate vehicle. If the receiving car does not have the necessary tuning part, (e.g. the correct suspension installed) then neither the part nor setup for that part is carried over unto the other car. Simple.

Sure, everything is possible!

@RaY29rus theres plenty of editable 400r liveries out there.

While I don't disagree, the problem you run into is what happens when a player isn't at the right Collector Level to buy those parts? It'd bypass this game mechanism entirely if you could, as a new player, buy a used car and use your credits (25AE bonus credits, or paid credits) to download a tune complete with parts that you can't actually access.

I hate you for even putting that idea in my head LOL.... SMH....

Too many likes for Wagon enthusiasts here, needs rebalancing.
