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

[ROMANLEGION]

So online lobbies have been adressed. What will people be whining about now ?

Have they? I haven't jumped on since the update came out. You can actually modify the lobby without exiting?

 

[Nuschel01]

You can actually modify the lobby without exiting?

Yes, but host is still fixed, settings still can't be saved and there still is no way to see the results of the previous race after leaving it.

The times don't change in Circuit Experience. That refers to the Online Time Trial.

Does this apply to the Suzuka and Le Mans TT that we've had so far? I posted some good times on those and got an absolutely insane amount of naught...

So there's a new time trial? And this time it actually has gold times huh!? Can't check it right now.

More boredom after alls completed in no time single player wise, oh so wished for a Gran Turismo 3 style game , this drip feeding content sucks.

Play online. Single player only exists to get you accustomed to what the game has to offer.
Or just make custom races. It's only boring if you choose not do do anything on it. Don't be a whiner and complainer.

It seems that he datamined the car pricing. In context, the Suzuki Escudo in GT2 was at 2.000.000 cr.

No, it starts today.

Another interesting online change is the addition of Gold, Silver, and Bronze times and rewards to the Online Time Trial, starting with a new event today for the Escudo Pikes Peak at Alsace Village.

These are actually moving targets, and require you to be within a certain percentage of the top time overall: 3% for Gold, 5% for Silver, and 10% for Bronze. The prizes are significant too, with 2m credits available for hitting Gold once the Time Trial has ended.

So there's a new time trial? And this time it actually has gold times huh!? Can't check it right now.

 

[Mathaios_C]

How possible no rain in the new ciecuit??? It is a shame honestly

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Oh... At the very least they were sane enough to give a gold time 3% difference below the world record. And not something like 1%

Which is still going to be ridiculously hard to pull, not to mention it's on Alsace. Which cars are used? Gr.3?

But still, 3.250 million for getting the gold time is awesome. And it may allow you to gain an extra 2 million if your gold time gets increased and you need to improve it. (I'm assuming it works like this).

 

[Bosozoku]

I presume doing the time trial counts towards your daily mileage.

 

[Miroku]

And overall....GT7 still sucks...while GT Sport is still the superior game.

 

[F30clubman]

The possibilty to load a ghost lap makes me LOVE this update! You can now even have 2 ghosts at the time (uploaded and fastest lap of the session).

It can only become better when we could select the ghost to remain also visible in free ride - track side replays, as it was in GT4.

I think FM6 was my first exposure to Watkins Glen. Good, fun track.

Although, a Classic remastered track would have hit a lot harder.

Really, you'd have preferred an old track over something fresh that had never been in GT? To each their own I guess, but this game launched with zero new tracks, the track list was getting very stale. Brand new tracks was the number 1 biggest thing it needed IMO.

I agree with the argument that you’re trying to make here @Samus that Gran Turismo getting new tracks that have never appeared in the franchise before like Watkins Glen should be a priority, however I do have to side with @R55NA on bringing old tracks back. There are still some old tracks that have appeared in previous GT titles that are just as important as the Glen but for whatever reason are still not present in GT7. Like Silverstone and Monaco / Cote D’ Azure for example. Where are those tracks? Are they absent from GT7 to make room for new tracks or something?

Perhaps it could just be licensing issues like usual but GT7 has already garner a bad rep at the way how PD have handled things like the game’s economy, the lack of single player content, the horrible roulette tickets etc.

Which cars are used? Gr.3?

This Time Trial uses the Escudo Pikes Peak.

But still, 3.250 million for getting the gold time is awesome. And it may allow you to gain an extra 2 million if your gold time gets increased and you need to improve it. (I'm assuming it works like this).

I don't believe either of those two things are the case.

I think you will only get the prize in the appropriate bracket - 250k for Bronze, 1m for Silver, 2m for Gold - and only at the end of the Time Trial.

Edit: Yes, you'll definitely only get the reward once the Time Trial has finished.

 

[Nowax]

I love how the horn have reverb lol, you can hear the echoes of the horn, especially on a tunnel.

 

[Nuschel01]

Can you actually read?!

Another interesting online change is the addition of Gold, Silver, and Bronze times and rewards to the Online Time Trial, starting with a new event today for the Escudo Pikes Peak at Alsace Village.

EDIT: I shouldn't mess around elsewhere and post stuff 5 minutes later My point still stands.

I have to admit,i was a little underwhelmed with the 3 menu books.I assumed they were races not just`filler`for collecting cars.oh well never mind.Roulette ticket gave me nitros for a Lexus RF`15,engine was an RX7.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Today is my birthday so this update better be pretty good.

Are you listening PD??? LOL

 

[pedronfdsantos]

[Nuschel01]

When will be available Escudo and Ford ? 12pm GMT?

Yep, as per the patch notes and the usual UCD/LCD refresh.

Happy birthday. What car did the game gift you?

 

[pedronfdsantos]

Yep, as per the patch notes and the usual UCD/LCD refresh.

Values? Around 3 million each? No clue?

 

[Nuschel01]

Values around 3 million each?

Thanks!

2017 Honda NSX. Not too shabby IMO.

Also I can't believe PD fixed the lobby in this update! A true present

 

[RoadRacer2556]

If they make a 32 Ford hot rod $3million that would be a total disconnect from reality that they are claiming Hagerty brings. It should be like $100k

 

[pedronfdsantos]

I'll be waiting till 12pm GMT

The tweet say's <3 for both of them. Plus that specific Hot Rod we're getting is a little special:

1932 Ford Roadster - The Henry Ford

The classic proportions of the 1932 Ford roadster make it a hot rod favorite. Rodders modified these inexpensive vehicles with more modern and powerful engines and parts. Dick Smith of Arizona purchased this hot rod in 1949. From 1954 to 1963, Smith dropped in a 1951 Chrysler V-8 engine and...

I don't understand why they have no added race events for the new menu books, what is the sense to collect cars wuthout specific events to race them ? Vero poor design choice

 

[platocplx]

Still work to be done, but this def shows they are making changes, we prob will see more stuff next month again but step in right direction that people wanted. Also all the unexpected stuff. Its dope we can adjust pedal travel in the game now I can test my pedals and see where they are. I would LOVE to have them fully support rumble pedals even if its just Fanatec to start I noticed the game can see if you had a boost kit version of the Fanatec wheel so its not too far fetched.
