Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[05XR8]

Ah so they confused Corolla with Camaro ? Makes sense. I do that all the time. 😆 😉

PD are known for that.

 

[NoStopN]

And here we have next week's provided car for Daily Race A.

That was always going to happen.

 

[Baka_Marimo]

8,600 Credits? Did they really forget to add a zero there? 😅

 

[Lomic]

ahah ! I am updating, I will go and have a look, at that price that's a good deal 😅

@Baka_Marimo : 100M credits is the max you can get ? How comes you have so few miles, you spend a lot of them ? I have ten times less credits than you do but I have twice your miles count (and I've spent a good amount of them already)

He has 98k mileage points. Not a lot more you can get. 🧐

I need to check in game, I have a greater amount in my memory but I must be wrong

Maxes out at 99,999.

EDIT: According to your kudosprime link (in your sig) you have 46k mileage points.

 

[Baka_Marimo]

@Lomic You're probably looking at my daily mileage (42.3 km). I've only done barely enough to get the daily workout gift. Initially the maximum amount of credits you can get is 20 million but the cap is raised to 100 million if you beat Lewis Hamilton's gold times.

No, I was refering to the Miles you win along with credits and XP, but my memory was wrong about the amount I have (confusion between the number of Mi I've earned and the number I currently have).

Even if I asked a dumb question, I gained an interesting knowledge : the credit cap is only 20M, but you can raise it to 100M by beating Lewis Hamilton (damn, I will have a hard time to raise my credit cap)

So if you load up on GR86s now, hold them till they patch the price to (I assume) 86k, then sell them, is that a profit?

 

[Lomic]

Damn ! I got to buy more 😅

That's an interesting idea indeed. Provided they do actually patch this out you can buy a GR 86 now for 8,600 Credits and sell it later for 25,800 Credits, tripling your investment in the process.

Lol, for 90k profit it's arguably more fun and time better spent to run a single Pro-level Career mode race. That being said, I'll probably still buy 7 of these while they're 8,600 credits!

 

[OJBrit]

8,600 Credits? Did they really forget to add a zero there? 😅

 

[NoStopN]

After remembering that it's update day, I thought I'd do the update before work. Then, I see the progress bar. Waylon Jennings was correct. "I'll update before work."

Wrong

brb gonna buy 905 GR86s now

(EDIT: I pray that they don't make it into a gift car when they fixed it.)
(EDIT 2: .... I'll stick with my extra 70 GR86 for now)

Spoiler

That's actually the price it's supposed to be. I completely missed it first time round, but TGR mis-translated its own press release:

While it says "86,000Cr." there, the previous characters say "86万Cr". The counter "万", or "man" means "10,000", so it's 86 x 10,000, or 860,000cr. In Japanese versions, the value of credits is 1% of other versions, so it really is meant to be 8,600cr in non-Japanese versions.

Totally looked clean through it the first time. I just read the "86,000Cr" bit and my brain moved on.

Okay, but seeing how the original 2015 model is almost 30,000 Credits that still doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Heck, even the 1991 Honda Beat is more expensive at 13,800 Credits. Perhaps the pricing is just intended to make it easy for everyone to jump in and have a go, I don't know. They're probably not making much off of microtransactions this late into the game's lifecycle anyway.

Absolutely, this whole excercise of putting the car in the game is to promote the car for Toyota. No other reason, so it stands to reason they'd make it as easy as possible to acquire and drive.

might as well give it as a present then, who does not have 8600cr ??

Because they want to say how many they've "sold" in the game. They already did that with the GR Yaris:

Gran Turismo Sport Players Have Bought 300,000 Examples of the Toyota GR Yaris

According to Toyota Gazoo Racing, Gran Turismo Sport players have picked up more than 300,000 units of the new Toyota GR Yaris since it came to the game just over a month ago. Toyota released the information as part of an update on the Toyota GR Supra GT Cup, won by Takuma Miyazono at the weekend

If they gift if to everyone, they can't. All about marketing these days.

 

[Lomic]

Ah ok... well by selling them at a bargain price they will have lots of sales... not something to brag about... but hey that's marketing I guess, they will only speak of the number of sales, not the price.

When you see that some players are buying one in each color available

 

[Samus]

[hardvibes]

And as usual I can't update GTS because I don't have enough space on my ps4.
Yaaaaaaay
To keep playing GTS in multiplayer, just like yesterday, I have to delete a full game: FF7 Remake.
Yaaaaaaay

I've had the same issue, although I had more than the space needed for the patch (like 20Go of free space).

This is exactly why I have an external hard drive. GTS is the only game I have installed on the PS4 nowadays specifically because I got tired of deleting whole games just for 1 update.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head. And after seeing @Famine's explanation, it will make no sense to buy more than 1. I don't give a fat rat's ass how many they've "sold" in the game. Just be glad I (Mr. Not Another 86 in the game) "bought" one with my credits, since I didn't want to wait to win it on the prize wheel.

I hate myself now. Bought a second one just to paint it yellow. 😆 Just trying to pump up those sales figures.

I just love that they could've went with ANY reasonable number for the kind of car they are selling, but settled on that

 

[O604]

I wonder how accurate this page is? It claims Canada is 4th in the #of Daily players. Seems unlikely.
