Gran Turismo 7's Next Update Arrives April 25

[Max_HP]

That's big.

That's what she said 🤣

In the UK my provider uses underground fibre... Other than specified maintenance which they e told me 48 in advance of our connection hasn't gone down since it went live a year ago

Likewise in Australia, it's all underground. And regarding the connections issues, that really depends on the ISP. The first one I was connected with, we had all kinds of connection issues where we had to call out technicians multiple times and they couldn't resolve the problem. So I gave that ISP a BIG FU and switched to another, and haven't had a single issue since.
Well, they(ISP) do have the odd maintenance once in awhile, but that's usually during sleeping hours(12am-3am) so that's really a non-issue.

World Circuits
　- The following three events have been added at Spa-Francorchamps:
　　・European Sunday Cup 500
　　・Japanese Clubman Cup 550
　　・World Touring Car 800

...so new races then available sounds good!

 

[Corins]

I'll be out all day..you can send me the picture of when you open the game and show me the three new races

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Almost an entire month with nothing new to do...

3 new races.
Not championships, not more missions. Just 3 new SINGLE races.

What's even worse? We STILL DON'T HAVE GR.1 AND GR.2 RACES!!!!

 

[LightVelocity]

I've been loading Gr.3 races while offline to attempt to get an AI in the BRZ GT300 to spawn to no avail. Initially I thought that the AI wouldn't have the new vehicles available for selection but using the GR86 an AI in the Cappuccino appeared.

Is it possible the BRZ GT300 isn't Gr.3? Or perhaps not assigned a racing class at all?

 

[Islaygaz]

Ooh yeah

Such a minor detail, but it’s probably my favourite addition in this update 😂

 

[Max_HP]

He does have to change, or rather, remove it at the end of the game's lifcycle though. Otherwise he will brick the game. And that's absolutely anti-consumer, he could get sued for this.

But of course, I think we are still a long way for that to happen.

Of course, nothing lasts forever. I meant that he won't make any changes in terms of removing the "always online" while the game or server is still online.

These patch notes sound rather decent for it, the change to suspension geometry to increase grip of rwd cars and reduce the effects of weight transfer overall are welcome, as is the brake pressure change while steering which they claim will reduce braking distances. Finally as a controller player am hoping the changes mentioned about steering speed and throttle relation will hopefully help

 

[FerrariF40]

Its kinda boring that its always just catch the rabbit.


And yes Gr1 and Gr2 races would be fun

I hope that will help to gold some damn circuit experience...

 

[RACECAR]

Just because people don't immediately talk about it, doesnt mean something has been ignored. It's early morning and the game just came out of maint. You are quite tiring.

The fact that people are moaning about the content not being what they somehow expected despite NO indication it would be seems to tell me the opposite. The content was known well before the maintenance even started via the teaser pics so it doesn't matter that it just ended, people were complaining about it afterwards.

Definitely a welcome patch, however I'm dreading how much this could have potentially ****ed with some of my tunes I'd spent a long time tweaking handle how I'd like 🥲

 

[Corins]

when will they add Group 1 and 2 races? I'm waiting for this ..

 

[vasio]

So just the 3 new events? Still no Gr.1/2 car events or super formula events. What about historic car events etc? Where are the missing cafe pages? Literally just a handful of championships still.

Wow after all that hype that is a disappointment.

PD need to do better than this, the game is severely lacking in content. It’s half the events of previous numbered entries. Making events isn’t even that time consuming for crying out loud!

 

[Matt atkins]

The server is still down till 11.am here they should have delayed the game until it was properly finished because we can’t have them take the servers down all the time

 

[tonystarks131]

Wow after all that hype that is a disappointment.

Hype? What was promised/hyped that wasn't delivered? We only got the 1 layout which is a bummer, but I wasn't expecting the world either.

 

[jhuizinz]

What about historic car events etc?

This is what I'd really love in-game! Having all these classic vehicles is great and I love it, but I want to use them in anger!

 

[drumbeg]

Its kinda boring that its always just catch the rabbit.

My only real criticism with the game. Find Café stuff a slog because of this. Much prefer to set-up custom races with grid starts.

Mate, no matter what a developer does, they'll never make everyone happy.

 

[Staquix]

Not enough to make me turn on the PS4 again. Maybe next time.

 

[zdravkelja]

I was playing the game yesterday, some event with small japanese cars, and I thought how it would be cool if they added a Cappuccino in the game. And here it comes in the very first content update!

 

[Mythaga]

So, according to the patch notes, no changes to the lobbies...(not that I had much hope)

If this is true then I am lost for words, the single most important thing that needs fixing!!!

But wait we have a new layout for Spa with a different pit lane, woop de do....

I'm done... 😒

 

[05XR8]

A Historic Spa event would have been nice.

 

[Veinz]

I was really hoping for more lobby settings, looking forward to trying the physics and pp changes though.

 

[hardvibes]

What about historic car events etc?

They want us to go back and play GT Sport for that.
Or even GT5 (ex: Cote d'Azur)

 

[Techlet]

What about historic car events etc?

Desperately needed when the game makes such a big deal out of obtaining classic cars but give the players no chance to actually use them outside of a single one and done endurance mission.

 

[MrNukki]

A bit of a letdown, this update, judging by the patchnotes. We can only hope that updates increase in content exponentially from here on.

 

[Dess81]

Only 3 new events... Does Kaz understand that there is no any sense in 90% of legendary cars w/o special historical events? For what we had oppotunity to buy 3 great legendary gr1 cars a week ago? Should I use photosession or play the race? It seems like it will take about 1 year to make GT7 a full game. Cos there is no enough content. It's boring.

And I don't understand why Kaz can't add Gr1-Gr2 events to exist layouts? I think it's easily then add new 3 cars, but more interesting. I want to play the game, not grind or looking at beautiful auto.

 

[Corins]

in my opinion the update of the endurance races announced .. will bring a lot more content .. are you confident?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Or even GT5 (ex: Cote d'Azur)

B-Spec Bob is still trying to get the turn in for that chicane right.
