Grand Valley Returns to Gran Turismo 7

[Bobby-Vegas]

Going to have fun driving a few Legend Automobiles for fun and photo mode.

Just played God of War Ragnarok. Sophy, PSVR2, new track tomorrow.

Will definitely blast this music once I set foot in Grand Valley:

This one for me...

 

[05XR8]

Me.

 

[Bobby-Vegas]

Me.

Thanks mate, that took me back in a good way.

 

[TrafficEmpire]

Given the clear inspiration, I think some Death Cab for Cutie is fitting.

 

[05XR8]

…add a blue/white Viper and you’re all set.

That and this.

Last one

 

[DivitLad]

Me.

Don't think I ever skipped that intro , it was amazing at the time

 

[GTboyz]

Gonna cruise around on it with the Carrera RS once the update drops.

Excellent, this looks like it was worth waiting for. Old tracks are great, but it's nice when the devs don't feel bound to stick to exactly the same aesthetic that was on PS1.

I think Deep Forest and Trial Mountain hit a bit of an uncanny valley where they're different enough to feel weird, but not different enough to feel unique and new. This looks fresh and crispy. I like it. That may change depending on how it drives, but I like this approach to track remakes.

Funny you say that because the first track that came to mind was High Speed Ring. Got a big revamp for GT4 that immediately made it far different from what it was in the first game and has only built upon that since then.

Grand Valley... Highway?

Can't wait for the update to download and be disappointed.

 

[05XR8]

From the clips, the track looks like the original, but minus the runoff. Same track width. Looks tighter because of the barriers. First lap coming up shortly.

 

[RACECAR]

Patch notes up and likewise, so is this thread.

 

[GTFan24]

Interesting how its called Highway 1 and there is a visible track banner that says Grand Valley Speedway too, wouldn't be surprised if they give Grand Valley the Dragon Tail treatment where we get this one, Highway 2 and the OG track aka Speedway

 

[Terronium-12]

First impressions: the new circuit is actually pretty great, but it's not my Grand Valley.

If the intention is to give us the original Speedway ribbon in addition to the heavily revised Highway and South ribbons, that'd be incredible. As it stands, I like the new circuit but it doesn't satisfy that craving I have for the classic tracks returning. And at this point, again, unless the intention is to give us the original circuit (with some minor revisions) in addition to what's currently here, I'd rather they not bring any more classic circuits forward.

Great addition to the roster nonetheless.

It's as if someone bought the rights to build the track in another country, but they didn't quite do it right. It is a nice enough track, but it isn't Grand Valley really.

It actually has a really nice, methodical flow to it and is as technical as Speedway, if not more so.

Unfortunately, you're sat there asking yourself "Why change so much?" which is incredibly unfortunate.

I'd love to see this at night but that's not an option.

 

[ShiftingGears]

With the addition of Grand Valley we now have all three old tracks they've revived for this game with corners in the middle of pitch black tunnels. Really aggravating track design.

Track looks like a third party imitation with good graphics in a different setting.

Just like the old days.

Driving Grand Valley feels oddly familiar yet very different.
A lot of people are gonna hate it I’m sure. For me it still flows as good as the old one.

They’ve replaced the sign in the trailer that said Speedway to now say Highway 1.

Figured that was an error of some sort. Was very conflicting to see it while the main straight had "Highway 1"

 

[RobertHammer]

Just a reminder how Grand Valley looked in GT6

honestly i welcome the visual change as GT7 has too many racing tracks that blend together

 

[ShiftingGears]

New Grand Valley East flows a lot better than the full course at least.

Just like the old days.

Well no, because there wasn't a single tunnel in GT1 or GT2 that you couldn't see in.

 

[05XR8]

Lots of, off track SUVs. Cayenne, SRT Cherokee, Mercedes X-Class Ute, Audi A7, Normal F-150.

Ferrari f12 on a tow truck, yellow R8 Spyder, new Nissan Leaf, New Beetle, older C-Class Coupe., what looks like a White Holden Commodore/Chevy SS. Edit: just a generic sedan.

 

[RACECAR]

That's not correct because there wasn't a single tunnel in GT1 or GT2 that you couldn't see in.

But there was in the later games though (The lighting just wasn't as full super nova into your eyes as it is now).

I actually like what I see.
