Gran Turismo 7's Next Update is Coming This Week: Escudo Pikes Peak Returns

[Dave A]

So more than a Ferrari 330 P4? Don’t forget that pricing is supposed to be somewhat realistic.

I'd wager it'll be closer to the Group C cars in price. I'd be shocked if it was more than 3m Cr to be honest..

I like that assumption! Let's go with that✌️💯

 

[brighton boy]

Anyone have any idea what class the Escudo is likely to be , I can’t imagine it being Gr.B. ?.

 

[GTboyz]

7 tickets of 2000. Credits 🤣🤣

I'd rather get kicked in the balls 7 times then lmao

 

[Sarajevo89]

Escudo is pure nostalgia move from PD. How is that car relevant in ’22? And how about giving us track that it was made for in tandem? Of course not.

 

[Nielsen]

I predict it will be priced somewhere around 2,000,000 cr. like the Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak. Maybe slightly less as the Escudo is not as legendary as the Group B era of Audi. We’ll see.

 

[TheCracker]

Don’t forget that pricing is supposed to be somewhat realistic.

Its difficult to judge how much the Escudo would go for IRL at auction. It's fame almost entirely stems from it being included in Gran Turismo in the first place.

 

[Nagaremono]

Controversial take, but I don’t think the PP course will come, and if it does it won’t be particularly special. Barely anyone outside the US cares about it anyway. It’s hardly an iconic track (can you draw its route?) and hillclimbs are a bit niche even among rally fans. Not saying I won’t use it if it’s coming (and I’d hope I’ll like it and be converted) but the rally physics on the other dirt tracks in this game is a bit iffy. I know it’s tarmac’ed now, so maybe ok. At least it’d be something new, eh, something else to do if the rewards are ok. But if we must have point-to-point races I just think I’d prefer some mountain toge course(s) from Japan, or maybe a long stretch of the Tokyo Expressway.

This is basically the only reason I want to see Pikes Peak.
Seriously doubt we will ever get an actual touge tracks in Gran Turismo, unlike Pikes Peak, with all the sponsorship thing. And it is an actual track after all, touge are just public roads.
Still, I don't think we will actually get Pikes Peak this update.

 

[allstyle86]

Fix the god damn ****ing lobbies and where is the promise of selling cars. I can care less about content. The game has a broken lobby system. If PD wants this game to fail there doing a great job at it. Without the online community this game is nothing.

 

[regnar]

Not overally excited about the content coming, unless there's a surprise track.

Not to mention a number of GT3 cars ripe to be added, the Ferrari 488 is long due

Personally fixes to the economy, bringing up pay out values across the board, increase the payouts for custom races, save feature for custom races,
quick access to your garage or car settings from the options menu like GT6.

Pikes Peak is tarmac now so should feel ok. Would be cool to have the old dirt version as well. As bad as the dirt tracks feel I think if PD put effort into it they could make it much better but that's beyond wishful thinking.

Seems you missed the point completely though.

Nobody wants to be able to sell to raise money primarily (did anyone anywhere ever say that?) We want to sell because the game forces us to keep one of every car we’ve got. And a lot of the cars in the game are crap, and we don’t want crap in our garages. Simple. Is your house full of junk in real life? You keep stuff you never use and don’t like? You sit, happy to be surrounded by crap? It’s a simple fix and a staple of previous numbered GT games to let players control what’s in their collection. For example, I personally want to ditch 90% of the American cars, they drive like pants, and also certain standout oddities like the Sambabus. XJ13 too, bought for the trophy but it’s crap, was crap in its time and crap now. It might ‘crack you up’ but it’s a small ask, easily fixed by PD, and would make a big difference to people who play SP (ie the vast majority) and who hope the game can pivot back to its roots.

Edit: And yes, for a game marketed as a comprehensive return to trad SP, I would say it should be a more pressing issue than fixing online. GTS was for online, it’s still up and running, anyone focused on online racing can go play that for a bit longer.

To think of all that wasted space inside my digital folder that could be used for an 80" TV, a Peloton, a hot-tub and a couch - So tired of having to walk-around all these cars laying around everywhere

 

[Ryan81]

Is it true that Yamauchi said that he wanted GT7 to be more focused on Japanese cars and automotive culture/history?
Guessing that's why we're seeing 90% DLC cars being Japanese.

 

[Veinz]

Selling cars is the least of this games problems.

 

[Saargasm]

I always measure elevation in 1st gen George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machines.

Is that the one with the double-wishbone lid-axle, carbon fiber shell and the DHOC Heating elements? I wish we could swap heating elements to match the newer '22 models

 

[floydant]

Now that the values of the legends are informed by "real-life" prices and Kaz wants us to appreciate what these cars represent in real life, shouldn't you be able to sell them for more than what you paid for them?? Selling them for 25% of their value would make a mockery of that.
Being silly now but you should be able to treat them as an investment. As long as you maintain them you can profit from selling them at the right time.

Reminds me of a thought I had when Kaz was explaining the Hagerty element. I wonder how many GT7 players are hoping for another credit crunch so the cost of the legends plummet??

I think that selling price should be the same as Hagerty price. So if you bought this car cheaper it can go up (or down) in value. This would be good idea.
Also cars from used cars dealership and brandcentral should loose value with distance you made with them.

If they bring the PP track I don’t think they can price the car more than a couple of million as it would be a bit frustrating to have the track but have to grind like crazy to get the car. If they don’t bring the track I’m not sure what the point of adding the car is at all. Or They could just tell us what the update will include.

 

[Nagaremono]

For you, maybe. But I bet there’re more people out there around the world waiting for selling than there are wanting PP or a ‘30s Ford.

 

[Gulyo]

New campaing mode and new circuits please! 3 new cars every month is ridiculous 🙄

3 cars wouldn't be a problem... if we were getting loads of new events... Seriously what is their problem? This isn't hard to made is it? if we could get a lot of different events then we could easily get by with those 3 cars per month.

Remember what they were able to make in a couple months for GT Sport?

There is no excuse.

 

[StealthVel]

You must hate most other franchises then.

 

[The OG]

I hope we can sell cars in this update

 

[AutumnalGlow]

Gran Turismo set a high standard with GT Sport. 3 cars was a smaller update in that game. Now we're at 3 cars and ~9 races per month. The latter is what's truly ridiculous to me.

In all honesty, the track usage wouldn't be limited to the Escudo (unless they only make one event for it, where the only usable car is precisely the Escudo). With the track, there's almost limitless potential, as any car could be used to race in it. Anything from road cars to Gr.3, to Gr.1, and so on. You can get any car, max it out, and turn it into a time attack machine.

And, they could actually make interesting events with it, such as:
-normal races with 6 to 10 AI cars on track
-"one lap magic" sort of events
-a proper rally, splitting the course into 4 or more stages (this is particularly interesting to me, as we could have more than just 20 AI opponents)
-the full course time attack events, based on PP, class, type of car, etc.

PD could do any of this, but they likely won't though.

I think so too, it'd be crazy if it ended up one of the more expensive LCD cars.

 

[juanffy18]

3 cars for Pikes peak Hill right now

Peugeot RCZ GR.B
Audi Quattro S1 Pikes Peak
Suzuki Escudo

 

[Daverbx]

They need simply to add personalized championship made by the community with free practice, qualifycation,and all the other option like dynamic time,penalties, laps, etc...
If PD will add this feature, the game imho can be practically infinite beacause anyone can try and download the mini championship made by other users.
