GT7 September Update Predictions

[GTP_reddevil]

To the people obsessed with the idea of selling cars - why? Why is this feature being brought up over and over and over again?

Is it because you want more credits to make purchases with? You do realize that PD can just raise the prices of all cars to make the change irrelevant, right?

Is it to clear up a seemingly cluttered garage? Okay, that might make sense. But the collection page will still have a bunch of empty silhouettes. Will that be the new in thing to express annoyance at?

Perhaps it's to rid yourself of duplicates. Sure, but how many duplicates do you have that makes the ability to sell cars something you need post haste? Like a heart attack victim desperately needing his Aspirins.

Or maybe you went ham on the roulette glitch and now have a hundred NSX Gr.B cars sitting in your garage. In which case I have zero sympathy and I doubt PD feels any different.

I'm sorry but the hive mind here has reached Reddit levels. "The ability to sell cars" somehow became a buzzword on GT Planet and it's been annoying to see it pop up again and again and again.

1. It was a promised feature in the ”near term” since March/April - yet nothing has even been even slightly reported about it from PD (although I’m hardly surprised given PD’s ability to enhance responding communication to the players).
2. It was a feature used in previous games which helped gain credits if you needed a quick influx of credits.
3. The duplicate point - unless you are planning on creating your own custom race series then there is really no point in having the same car twice at least sitting there (some players may view differently and fair enough).
4. If you feel players are “obsessed“ with this request, then I’m a tad concerned - we want the game to be as good as it can be and this is a feature which would help towards that with keeping to the Gran Turismo traditions - “Past, Present and the Future”.
5. I see your point on the roulette glitch but in hindsight, perhaps PD should have prevented that in the first place and then that issue wouldn’t have occurred but there we are.
6. I’m sorry you find the “buzzword” annoying but if that’s the case, then simply ignore it - this ain’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time that feature request is brought up some way or another.

At the end of the day, you have your opinion and others have theirs.

A. Selling cars should have been in GT7 from day one.

B. Selling cars won’t make any discernible difference to most peoples day-to-day play.

C. At best selling cars will be an easy way to get a credit boost if you own a Legendary car. And want rid.

D. I’d like to think the feature can be a little more involved than just clicking a button to sell. IE, different used car lots and fluctuating valuations. Even an online auction of sorts.

Thanks for the explanation. It does give me some insight, though it doesn't quite explain the urgency.

Another thing I'd like to know is how people have so many duplicates (roulette glitch not withstanding). I don't have a single duplicate in my garage.

As for PD's commitment to "past, present, future", I would think there would be far more important features to implement, like a proper career mode, for one. It's something I was really looking forward to doing on days I didn't really feel like going online racing due to tiredness or what have you. But I don't see that get brought up nearly as much.

I bought duplicates to create my own races. I think I’ve only got a few from roulettes(the Civic Type R ‘20 off the top of my head).

People do bring up career/championship mode. That’s how we played since rhe original GT. It’s what many of the discussions are about. The events encompass single events, career, championships. Plenty of people don’t have time to create races. They want to jump in and play. That’s why many are frustrated with the short amount of race content.

Personally, I’d like more certain Types of cars, just so I don’t have to use duplicates as fillers.

 

[MIE1992]

3 more cars and that's it, no new circuit, nothing more

I think you're correct that there'll be three cars and no new circuits, but I disagree on the idea that there'll be nothing else. We'll likely get either new Bonus Menus, Extra Menus, or a combination of both, as well. Plus, I think we're due for some new missions, too. Not to mention that we always get new scapes in each update. (EDIT: Plus more engine swaps.)

 

[CarreraGT]

Except there are already three races that pay out at about 1.6m per hour. Adding 10 more races which pay out at that same rate would not make it any faster to earn credits or make any difference to MTs. Just more fun/varied, that's all a lot of people want.

I still think new races are more appealling than running the same races over and over again, but fair point

If we go by what seems to be a pattern from the monthly update cycle, we'll get additional two cafe menu books which will be strongly related/paired to two of the additional cars.

Consider these previous updates, with their menu book event & new vehicle "pairings"...

July Update 1.19

• Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 '84 | Menu Book No. 43: Neo-Classic Competition
• Porsche 918 Spyder '13 | Menu Book No. 44: Hypercar Parade

May Update 1.15

• Toyota GR010 HYBRID ‘21 | Menu Book No. 42: Enter the Gr.1 Prototype Series
• Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo | Menu Book No. 41: Enter the Vision Gran Turismo Trophy

Getting new tracks every other month is all cool and stuff, but additional races like these are what's really missing from the game, at least in my own opinion... They bring a meaningful way in which we can actually use the cars we've been collecting/gathering.

For whatever reason these menu books don't get enough attention from the community when they arrive via their updates. I'm not trying to say PD deserves praise for it, rather I think we should have had at least two years of updates worth of these meaningful events/races available from day one (that only equates to 24 event series). We should also get this additional content with EVERY update containing cars, so they aren't immediately reduced to mere "garage queens". That aside, it doesn't mean this style of content isn't still very welcome, though.

 

[Doncarlone]

My only wish for the next update is get rid of the ticket invites.

 

[05XR8]

MX-5 RF
RS500
Nissan Z GT500, because PD don’t seem to be packaging cars in any particular groupings.

 

[nickf1gr]

After so many months without any new rims or cosmetic parts for tunning maybe its time for something new??? Maybe some licenced items as Spoon etc...

They didn't mention any new parts except engines in their list of things to expect in updates, so chances for that are around 0.

Someone mentioned that GT Sport did an update that released three '16 Super GT cars in a single update. Now that is what I call an update.

PD is so bad at understanding the concept of rival cars.

 

[GT5 Level 41]

My turn-

Cars

1. RUF Yellowbird
2. Nissan R390
3. Corvette C8

Track-

Midfield

Books-

Audi collection
MR Collection

[Artremis]

• 10 cars

I’ve mentioned that numerous times. At the moment, PD, don’t appear to be doing those types of packs. We got the lone GT300 Subaru BRZ. We could have definitely got the GR Sport Prius, a couple of the GR86s in that class and even the GreenBrave Supra GT300, GT300 Fearrari, anything.

Hey, I’m more than happy to get the latest GT500 cars in a three car update, but it’s looking more like we won’t see that any
longer.

I don't understand why GT doesn't lean in to being an unofficial official Super GT game to be honest - they played a big part in building international popularity for the series with the amount of content included for it in the older GTs, and it's a shame they don't carry that legacy with pride.

So much potential for cool race cars, modern and classic - all of which would be awesome to see. Craving that classic JGTC NSX to complete the classic trio, which would be a huge waste to not see return.

My guess is SuperGT and various licenses that go along with it aren't dirt cheap anymore.

But I agree, there is a LOT of untapped potential in JGTC and SuperGT. A lot of these cars probably don't exist anymore though.

 

[MIE1992]

I wouldn't say it's "zero," as it depends on the wording. Like, did they say something like, "more parts, including engines," for example? If that's the case, then I wouldn't rule anything out yet. I'd love more wheels, myself, especially since Hayashi Racing and Spoon only have one wheel each. I'd love more from OZ Racing, too, plus maybe some Speedline or SSR wheels? Heck, we could even get that famed Nismo wheel that's popular on the R34 GT-R. And if we got more center-lock wheels, that'd be amazing.

I see. But with that in mind, that same post said nothing about adding Bonus Menus nor Extra Menus. So I'm still not convinced I should rule anything out yet.

True, but they started adding those from the very beginning pretty much. And we didn't get any parts yet. Maybe it shouldn't be completely ruled out, but still I would say the chances are pretty low.

I don’t think it’s ‘urgent’, it’s more something people use to point out how terrible PD has been at creating and maintaining GT7.

It’s a feature that any seasoned GT player would expect to be in GT7 on release. It was apart of the pre-release advertising and we were told months ago that it would be added in ‘near term’

It’s something that wouldn’t take long for PD to implement and it should have taken priority shortly after they had to apologise to everyone for an incomplete game.

The only reason for PD to not include this feature is to make it harder for people to get credits in a timely way, it’s apart of their free to play modle that they have adopted for GT7. This coupled with the time gated, high priced legendary car collection, low credit payouts and having only a few races with higher payouts available at a time… creates a long, slow and boring grind to get credits and means people are more likely to purchase mtx to avoid several months of waiting for their car to come back into rotation… at likely a higher price.

Players like myself, want PD to heavily backtrack on the free to play modle as it ruins the overall gameplay of the game and it affects everyone. If PD fix some of these things (ie/ selling cars) then it’s a great start for PD making this game great and it would give me more hope that GT8 won’t follow this same crud modle

 

[KAlex122]

Ok, PD, i'll make that easy for you. You only have to copy this into your game. I even did the math for you.

20 new singleplayer-races:
10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes
in 550, 650, 750 and 850 PP

10 minute races without tire wear, 20 and 30 minutes with tire wear but racing hard good enough for a no stopper, 45 minutes with at least one pit stop demanding. 60 minute races with random weather.

10 minute races - 200.000 credits + 50 % CRB
550 PP - any seldomly used short track version
650 PP - any seldomly used short track version
750 PP - any seldomly used short track version
850 PP - any seldomly used short track version

20 minute races - 400.000 credits + 50 % CRB
550 PP - Autopolis
650 PP - Tsukuba
750 PP - Nürburgring GP
850 PP - Catalunia National

30 minute races - 600.000 credits + 50 % CRB
550 PP - Lago Maggiore
650 PP - Watkins Glen
750 PP - Laguna Seca
850 PP - some Tokyo Version

45 minute races - 900.000 credits + 50 % CRB
550 PP - Alsace
650 PP - Spa
750 PP - some Tokyo Version
850 PP - Monza

60 minute races - 1.200.000 credits + 50 % CRB
550 PP - Interlagos
650 PP - Nürburgring Nordschleife
750 PP - Suzuka
850 PP - LeMans

Easy task. Everybody is happy. Most of us are happy!

Nobody realized this in demanding that feature, but there is a legal obligation for PD to deliver on that feature - once again, a promised, advertised feature not delivered in time can lead to a legal case to be made as with the Intellivision Keyboard Component precedent. (Hence my calls to file an FTC/ASA report.) There's also the issue of the word "sell" being mentioned on the PlayStation website/Store while there is nothing that the player can sell (saying this in general sense once again).

 

[05XR8]

Is there a deadline for the sell feature? Thought he gave us a definite near term road map.

No explicit deadline, if your read that blog post.

Oh. You typed “in time”. Thought implying a time limit. Near term would be in time. That’s all.

If this was about the Intellivision precedent I mentioned earlier, the FTC did investigate Mattel Electronics because people keep complaining about the promised computer upgrade not being released to the point customers (and thus, the FTC) got irate.
