GT7 AugTembOber 2024 Update Prediction

[Nebuc72]

GT7 is the first numbered GT where PD can take advantage of online updates and lean into Spec updates or seasons. They’re learning on the job and plans may have changed in this turbulent videogame market.

You know the PS3 was capable of all of this and they did online updates, spec updates and seasonal content on both games for that console, right? It's not new to them at all.
Even excluding that you had the whole existence of GTS in which they could've 'learnt' with that, as they also did all of that there.

 

[MIE1992]

I think there have been updates where there's not much notice until the more formal update notice that's typically posted on the official website, about a day or two before the actual update. I also hope that the PS5 Pro update doesn't include notable features that PS4 owners miss out on unless it makes sense from a hardware perspective, such as the Sophy content.

Five and Six would like a word, especially since GT5 introduced the concept of Spec 2.0.

If memory serves, the only content update that didn't have a teaser silhouette X/Twitter post from Kaz was the first, while only twice have the teaser posts been pushed as late as Monday (Japan time, once on Tuesday).

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I might sound like Mr. Obvious but... well... Time will tell what'll happen I guess.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I think people are forgetting how very small a development team PD are.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

I think people are forgetting how very small a development team PD are.

People's expectations are based on past performance. They have put out plenty of content in less time.

 

[Majorlazer]

Another missed month would really suck.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Since typing out what I'd really like to say in regards to update expectations would violate the GTPlanet TOS in every way possible, I'll just leave this here.

Why?

We are in the last part of the month and I don't think they will drop an udpate a couple of days before a live event (not 100% sure, but I don't recall PD releasing an update just a few days before any GTWS event)

Kaz will really need to address the community if there's no update this month, and will also have to ramp up the amount of content missed out on.

I’d just like the physics patch to get finished up, and the wicked oscillations at speed fixed. Gr2 at speed gets kinda nasty with my settings and given the logitech folks have the same issue it’s very likely pd/sony’s issue. Not logitech/fanatec’s.

Well, I've got some good news for you: with a distinct setup for GT1/2 high downforce cars, you can pretty much erase all of these oscillations. Are you on a GT DD Pro?

No ddX and i’ve mitigated it greatly by dropping int to zero. You can also drop For to about 60-80 but i run my wheel hard with in game settings of 10(9)-8 depending on the car so dropping a bunch of For doesn’t really work for me. This makes things ok up to gr3’s. A little oscillation at speed but surfable. Gr2 still is a bit too aggressive though. Particularly if im using my smaller f2 esportsv2 yoke. Like knock the earbuds of the psvr2 from my ears kinda fun. 😂

It's actually more common than not doing so.

Of the six live events in GT7's lifetime, four have had an update within four days prior to the event. The last one was even the last event: 1.50, which wasn't a content update, arrived three days before the Prague event on August 7...

Neither Montreal nor the Barcelona 2023 final had updates immediately before them, but Amsterdam (1.36, August 7 2023), Monaco (1.26, November 24 2022), and Hangar-7 (1.19, July 28 2022) all had content updates in the four days before. 1.26 was even the day before; I vaguely recall pre-writing it and finishing it off in Newcastle Airport.

 

[Ande3200]

Still no silhouttes, very low chance now we get anything for september, they might showcase something bigger for either tokyo gameshow or the tokyo live events, for release late october, that would mean a 3 month gap witch would be the longest gap between updates by far. Then we would need to get a big update with at least 6-7 cars, maybe new track, more expanded sophy ai, given we are so close to 2 big events this week, might mean pd might want to wait and reveal something bigger for next month.

 

[Rangeraus]

I don't think that's as big a deal as people make out.

The 2022 Showdown, 2022 finals and 2023 Showdown all had updates the Thursday immediately before the weekend they were hosted.

Thanks, evidently, I haven't been paying attention to these updates as much as I used to!

I'd like to think that there will be at least 2 more content updates this year (but if there isn't, not a huge deal)... There are two more live events, which occasionally have a VGT reveal. I don't know if My First GT will be released in conjunction with any other new content, but that could be an interesting opportunity to do so.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

The real question at this point is: will the next content update make up for this 3 month gap we'll supposedly have to wait? Honestly, I don't mind waiting longer if it all compensates at the end.

This is a simple piece of information dataminers could provide us, as it won't reveal anything specific and at the same time should make us all a little less anxious.

 

[kjb]

TBH if there's no update this month I'm okay. I know that eventually one is coming. So I'm going to get worked up over it one way or the other

 

[Kriptical]

I don’t mind content getting skipped here and there but having to wait for content to get game fixes implemented is frustrating. Then again, they may just not have figured out the final physics remedies. Although, it sure feels as if a few decimal places are wrong, as opposed to things needing a massive rework..

🤷‍♂️

Kaz hasn't addressed the community since the launch of the game, and even that was only because of the review bombing. What makes you think he'll start now?

 

[GlamFM]

Absolute nonsense.

Again:

WE. ARE. NOT. ENTITLED. TO. UPDATES.

That was addressed earlier in the thread already. What is visible for the next update is what has been visible since what was thought to be a regular August update.

Even then that doesn't dictate they're not working on anything outside of what is visible.

 

[atfmarko]

I just wonder when will be challenge PAID update...and what will it be...

 

[sonnyboychris]

Absolute nonsense.

100% agreed, as it pertains to updates. However, I believe they should be communicating a bit more for other reasons.

 

[juanffy18]

I think people are forgetting how very small a development team PD are.

180-190 employees are not small if you asked me, if we don't count the outsourcing work too.

 

[watto79]

What content has been missed out on?
