GT Sport Update 1.22 Discussion Thread

[bdj57]

Wonder if the Mazda 787B is the original Renown version or the GT5 stealth car? Did both have any differences or it is just the livery?

(Guess this is related to the thread topic right?)

 

[TonyJZX]

I wouldnt think PD would be stupid enough to have the Stealth models of the 787 or the Ford GT race car when its obvious the Renown and the GT4 cover car are the real culture icons.

 

[Stephan]

For the 787B, they gonna obviously use the Renown livery.

The GT LM Spec II on the other hand, since the premium model used the Stealth (aka Test Car) livery from GT6, I'm guessing they gonna use that livery instead.

Guess you are right. Might be better if we have both versions not as duplicate cars but instead color selections or livery options in Brand Central.

The GT LM Spec II on the other hand, since the premium model used the Stealth (aka Test Car) livery from GT6, I'm guessing they gonna use that livery instead.

That is possible too I guess since the Ford GT silhouette shown in Kaz teaser is appear to having sort of matte finish and less glossy from what I had seen. Could be wrong though.

When you're talking about 787B's color, the new F1 close-ups appeared.

Huge fan of kei cars, growing up I couldn't care less but with age and dulled reactions it is fun to use every ounce of knowledge and experience to wring every last mph out of them. Lightweight K Cup should return.

I also think there may be more cars to be announced as the update is being teased in multiple parts and the cars were announced early. But really after the longer wait I am thankful that an update is coming at all.

I'd also guess a Kei Cup Daily Race. I know the Daily is One Make or N class. Just feel it may be a bit different, regarding the new cars. It may not be the case, but BoP for 68hp/700kg-850kg to match an MX-5 & Swift Sport, is a tall order.

Haha yeah just saw was like wuuuuut, been at work melting away in this heat.

 

[Satomiblood]

I wouldn't mind seeing another GT League event dedicated to convertibles, either. Think the Roadster + K Cups.

 

[Cerebral303]

Just feel it may be a bit different

Beat Vs S660 would be interesting - Beat is lighter, both are 63 Bhp but with BoP the S660 would probably still win. If there were eventually enough cars for a "Group K" daily race though...wishful thinking. One day maybe.

 

[DCheesy]

I knew it. Had to be the GTS Maestro's car

 

[BadFlounder]

First off, perhaps you should analyze what you read a bit better first before claiming like you've done. No where do I say that I'm trying to compare the tech of a 50 year old car to that of a near modern car. I probably am more aware of mechanical structures in motion due to my background than you realize. What I'm saying is that the test was skewed questioned quite a bit, and the explanations given were never conclusive.

If you think a car with 51 years on it, rust through its structure and at least 74k miles on it, since the odometer was supposedly broken against a new car is comparable from a testing stand point... Then continue to be ignorant. Clearly safety has evolved but that doesn't mean the test was still improper to a degree.



IIHS claimed this, experts who studied it at the time claimed it wasn't that clear and cut.

Also they didn't claim little rust, they claimed it only had surface rust and that was what they were looking for anyways.

Well, we have about a week left. If PD is going to give us another teaser, what will that teaser be:

A. Track Teaser
B. Car Teaser
C. Racing Gear Teaser
D. Scape Teaser
E. No Teaser
F. And of course, the mother of all teasers, which is my favorite:

Spoiler

puuuuuuuuurrrrrtty flowers!

My bet is on letter F.

Maybe once we get closer a full lap of the Provence track

 

[DCheesy]

I feel the suit livery teaser has run its course.

The first car teaser came too early. There definitely room for another 5-7 cars. They might be saving aditional cars for the next update with a real life circuit so I could understand only having seven (still appreciative for 7 cars ).

There is also plenty more potential for tracks teasers especially if it's a huge track. My guess is A or B.

I feel F would come along with A

"semi-premium" cars have nothing to with what cars will be introduced in future titles. While they did pretty the R390 up for GT6, it is still an old model built off of old data and modeling practices. It would never hold up with PD's current obsessive attention to detail and would have to be scanned and remade from scratch for it to have any chance to show up in any future GT titles.

I said that it "could" be coming to GTS. You don't have to go and kill the dream because someone has a wish about something they would like to be included in a game. And I'm sorry, but how in the world did PD get the urge to remake a 2010 Audi R8 from scratch, seems pointless (car was probably made in GTS detail way back in the GT5 days, and the detail was scaled down/compressed, in order to make it into the game, with it being "freed" on GTS)?

By the way how do you know what methods PD use for what cars? For all we know they could've scanned the R390, not re-used old data from the standard version.

@GTPorsche guessing by your name, you'd want this in GTS wouldn't you?

 

[VBR]

I got to be honest, I'm looking forward to them nerfing the Megane Trophy just as much as anything else

Megane Trophy nerf confirmed...

 

[MMX]

I'm hoping for another set of cars, as I'm not overly excited for the ones teased already. Although, I am looking forward to hearing the 787B. I may have parked a few times in previous GT's just to hear the car idle.

 

[Victoria H]

I'm still super curious about the new track. Can't wait for the next teaser!

I just watched that film an hour ago while getting over my days grind at work

 

[TheNuvolari]

The 787B sounded lovely in GT6, can't wait how it will sing with the updated sound engine and with those additional crackles & pops.

 

[sems4arsenal]

The 787B will sound the same as the LM55.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

The 787B sounded lovely in GT6, can't wait how it will sing with the updated sound engine and with those additional crackles & pops.

The 787B is epic on the ears and I'd love to experience it in reality. All they need to do is lift the GT6 sound sample and it will be terrific.

Not all car sounds updated from GT6 are good. I've said it many times already, and I'm certain some members are sick of reading it, but the diesel cars took a huge step back in GTS.

The 787B will sound the same as the LM55.

The LM55 sound is annoying. I wouldn't be surprised but they surely won't do that... Hopefully.

 

[forzaturismo]

Vacuum cleaner????

 

[Sage Ages]

I said that it "could" be coming to GTS.

So could 800 other standard cars.

Got a book somewhere that talked about the development of GT4. From what I recall, the cars were done from scratch using photo references and thus, aren't perfectly accurate to their real life equivalents. Will post a direct quote as soon as I find the book again.

 

[Volksauto]

Meanwhile, I'm just trying to rake in the cash for my classic Ferrari on Blue Moon. It takes so long so I hope the car's worth it.

 

[cleanLX]

has there been any discussion on the track?
think it will be a real track?
South France eh?

Or, central France, as Lewis favors; Magny-Cours...

 

[bdj57]

The LM55 sound is annoying. I wouldn't be surprised but they surely won't do that... Hopefully.

I think LM55 sound is based on 787B sound sample with some tweaks. There is slight differences between both sounds and 787B in my opinion has louder sound and more epic rotary scream compared to LM55.

For context, this was when cars were 3000 polygons...
