GT7 : Reduced effects after patch

[Nikx-97]

Combining this information alongside serious frame-drops in some stages in specific scenarios (daytona at night, tsukuba with rain, etc) and also alongiside really bad graphics/elements pop-in (I am on PS5) makes me wonder if they are panicking to fix performance issues and try one thing at a time when it makes slight improvements.

What worries me mostly is that it's in very rare occassion that they improve things, but mosty usually things downgraded are not restored. Hope I am wrong.. :/

Personally I have not noticed frame-drop even in the worst situations, I repeat just one option in the settings, so one chooses as best he prefers.

So that's the reason why I felt something is off compared to launch day

Exactly, if they didn’t do everything just to get better reviews, it would suck.

The gam is just not finished yet and needs more polish.

It is not finished and is obvious with its endless problems, just see today with a very long maintenance, but if we start to perform downgrade at random to optimize nothing.. instead of solving.. in a few months we’ll be playing a PS2 game instead of a PS5 game. Seriously? They have to restore them as before, without making excuses, because it takes little time to ask for a refund, because in my opinion it is no longer the game I bought at D1.

How to get a refund?

I really hope this thread gets noticed by PD because removing and drastically reducing those smoke/dirt/ water spray effects was a huge downgrade 😔

I bought it on PlayStation Store digitally, I’ll write to PSN support.
Unfortunately, after this ******** effects, I’m hating this game.

Hopefully they revert this, or most of it. I thought it was pretty cool to not be able to see a damn thing when behind a car in the rain.

Unfortunately it’s all very sad, it would be enough to leave the choice to us, we are aware of what it could lead to, but don’t worry, I hope I will also be seen.. but I’m beginning to doubt it, I’m really disappointed.. by fans of the series.

Or give the opportunity to choose the amount of effects, it was very realistic and immersed, having to perforza come out of the trajectory to see, as it really happens

 

[Nikx-97]

Why don’t we go en masse and ask PD to fix the effects?
Why do we have to keep a stupid and unjustified graphic downgrade on PS5?
Come on guys.

I wrote about it in my request for refund.

The best way would be to let someone from media or someone who can write to PD and point out this to them...

The problem is how to do this

Yeah I tried tweeting to Kaz and GT official accounts but no luck...

I’ll try, but I’ll probably have to ask for a refund.

 

[Magog]

It should be an option.

 

[Nikx-97]

It should be an option.

It would be the best solution for everyone

i second the request to bring this effects back!It was an incredible thrill to drive behind other cars in rain,now it looks TOTALLY lame.

Seriously,what‘s going on in the PD headquarter?so many questionable descisions

 

[zlays]

Now they have removed exhaust flames too 😡

PS5 prioritize RT?

I tried it with RT on and off and I'm still getting huge flames from my v-spec nur 😁

They removed smoke, dirt (now the dirt is just grey smoke) rain spray, sparks, flames, 3d elements (I saw a lot of 2d trees), lowered texture resolution, and now the game performance worse....
I want go back to 1.05! Just look amazing! Now is just gt Sport

What’s going on? They’re all about money now..

I think it’s a glitch, sometimes they disappear, but then they come back

That’s right, it looks like GT Sport, but nobody’s talking about it.

And performance worse than gt Sport

 

[Nikx-97]

And performance worse than gt Sport

I confirm it is a scandalous thing, especially on PS5

I really don't think they reduced texture or 3d trees. My post on textures was about the ps4 version.
Some tracks are ports from sport with minor changes . Brands Hatch for example only has like 5 3D trees on GT sport , they are all found aroound the first hair pin . No idea if they added more in the ps5 version but judging from replays the track only got better textures and grass added to it on both ps4 and ps5 but the trees were left untouched . Same goes for Sardegna road and dragon trail . Susuka Reamains unchanged minus better textures on all versions. I doubt they touched up any of the ovals or tokyo tracks either.. What im trying to say is i doubt this was downgraded via patch but has always been like this since day 1 , Mind you on base ps4 kyoto , willow springs , Alstice ,Route X and Mt. Pamorama ALL got upgrades graphicaly .

We would need a more detailed comparison of the various tracks between GT Sport and GT7, as well as urgently a fix, at least on PS5 for graphic effects.
