GT7 Update Coming August 25

[Max M]

I recorded the exact same thing happening for a trophy... but it happened the moment I clicked to open the ticket which awarded the car.

For my situation, the dialogue window popped up as soon as I opened the garage, but before opening the ticket. I wish I had thought to record it.

Edit: I should also mention that the ticket was a four-star standard ticket but had only cars available as rewards. No cash or parts options in the roulette. In hindsight, the game had a 100% chance to award me a car but it was spoiled to me by Sarah congratulating my 200 cars. It normally wouldn't be obvious until opening the ticket, so the game did have knowledge of the prize before I clicked open.

Question to the crowd…

How many of you guys have gone back to playing previous Gran Turismo titles more than you play GT7?

I play GT4 on my phone sometimes just to progress through the career when chilling in bed or what have you, but I very much predominantly play GT7 more than any other game right now, I think I am at around 300 driving hours.

The driving experience of the game for me does outweigh a lot of the negatives, namely in the lack of worthwhile Singleplayer content - but I put in a bit of work and figured out how to have semi-decent Custom Races with AI, and looked around for external things to do, such as joining the GTP Time Trials, organising Time Trials for the unofficial GT Discord, racing on Sport Mode in the dailies and in GTWS evemts, as well as entering a league.

I certainly don't get bored, and it's not like I have to put in an absurd amount of time to do all these things - ultimately it's just racing and in an hour I can do multiple laps of multiple time trials, as well as a few Sport races, and when I have more free time I have a lot more time to experiment with everything.

 

[RichiPuppy]

Be nice.It would be even better if we could buy the engines rather than the lottery ticket.Ive`won`2 engine swaps via the tickets but closed the game after opening them as they are ones i already have,hoping after the update they change.

Completely agree, even when I got free engine swaps for a week it took nearly a hundred engine only tickets to get the one I wanted. So I don’t expect to ever get one of the new ones, unless they happen to add a new glitch.

 

[BangsMcCoy]

No, the prize is determined only when you open it.

That's why saving the "bad" ones until after the update is worthwhile; most will remain "bad" (because most prizes are "bad") but some will become less "bad" - maybe even "good". However all draw a different set of not-prizes even if they remain the same prize.

It's only about one in 10 that will change for the better, as it's only about one in 10 that the prize you receive isn't the smallest amount of credits possible for that level of ticket.

Either way that’s a lot of effort to sit there and open -> quit game -> reopen game -> re-open ticket then repeat as many times as necessary to still only hopefully get an engine that you’re looking for. Unless there’s a different way to know what the bad ones are or what prize you will get without actually opening them?

Not able to sell cars yet! Guess My PS4 will continue to collect dust. I didn't bother to boot it up for the last update, and I'm a huge fan of the R31 group5 skyline.

The update is literally not out yet.

 

[Famine]

Either way that’s a lot of effort to sit there and open -> quit game -> reopen game -> re-open ticket then repeat as many times as necessary to still only hopefully get an engine that you’re looking for.

I don't disagree at all.

The existence of engine-only six-star tickets (in Extra Menu 3) does provide some hope that there'll be a more reliable way to get them in the future though.

 

[Nielsen]

I almost hope it's not the official MP4/4 just so we hopefully won't lose it in the next Gran turismo game.

We wouldn’t necessarily lose the MP4/4 for the next game. It was a DLC car in Forza 6 and was also included in Forza 7.

 

[dacc10]

With sucky AI (but predictable) and ridiculous priced Unicorns (got almost every car i wanted without any real grinding like in GTS), worth every last penny.

In GTS you earned as much, if not more Cr., you had less cars to buy, they were cheaper on average, there were no tuning parts to buy, and you were literaly given every day one car for free. How are you grinding less in GT7 than GTS?

And, your idea of grinding for every car you want, may be different from someone else. It's quite easy to understand that you may just want a few, specific, cars, while others might want to buy them all (and sometimes two of the same car to keep one stock and one fully tuned), so your need for grinding is not comparable to these players. Just keep in mind that, if you want to buy 2 McLaren F1, to keep 1 stock and 1 tuned, you need to spend nearly 40 million Cr. This requires industrial levels of grinding, just because PD chose to.

I take it that this list works more as an example than an actual wishlist.

Either way, I wouldn't take the years too seriously. It's safe to say that, for a racing game, makes more sense to have the sportier version of whatever car mentioned. Kind of like this:

Audi e-Tron GT quattro 2022 -> RS e-Tron quattro
Audi A3/4/5 -> RS3 and RS5 (any from the last 4/5 years)
Audi TT Coupe 2022 -> TT RS 2020 or an RS6 Avant/RS7

BMW 2 Series Coupe -> M2/M2 Competition/M2 CS
BMW 4 Series Coupe M50 -> M4 Competition/M4 CSL
BMW 3 Series M -> scratch that, bring the M8 Competition Coupe 2023

Chevrolet Camaro 2022 -> wait a few months until a performance version is released
Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray 2022 -> Z06 C8 (cooler)

Dodge Challenger 2022 -> slightly older Challenger Hellcat

Fiat 500X Hybrid -> 695 Abarth Tributo 131 Rally 2022
Fiat 124 Spider -> 124 Spyder Abarth

Ford Fiesta Hybrid 2022 -> Fiesta ST 2020/22
Ford Focus 2022 -> Focus ST 2022 or Focus RS Mk1 and Mk2
Ford Mustang 2022 -> Mustange Shelby GT500 2020/2022 and/or Mustang Mach 1 2021

Honda Jazz EX Style -> could be replaced by a CR-Z (premium in GT6)
Honda Civic e:HEV -> 2023 Civic Type R

Jaguar XE 2022 -> XE SV Project 8 2018
Jaguar XF 2022 -> XFR-S 2014 (and the premium XKR-S)
Jaguar F-Type Coupe 2022 -> SVR Coupe 2017 or wait for a future F-Type R

Lamborghini Huracan Evo 2020 -> Huracan STO or Performante

Lexus ES 2022/Lexux LC 2022 -> I'd replace any of these with the LFA, RC-F Track Edition 2020 and GS-F

Mazda 2 2022 -> nah
Mazda 3 2022 -> 3 MPS 2013
Mazda 6 2022 -> 6 MPS 2006
Mazda MX5 2022 -> nah

Mercedes A-Class Sport -> A35 AMG
Mercedes CLA Coupe -> CLA45 AMG
Mercedes SL Roadster -> SL63 AMG 2022
Mercedes E-Class Coupe -> E63 S AMG 2021

Nissan Micra 2022 -> 12SR 2007
Nissan Juke Next-Generation -> Juke Nismo 2015

Peugeot E-208 -> 308 GTi 2018

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS -> GT2 RS 2018

Renault Clio 2022 -> Clio RS 2011 or Megane RS Trophy 2019 or Megane RS Trophy R 2020

Toyota Corolla Hatchback -> GR Corolla

Volkswagen Golf 8 -> Golf GTI Clubsport 2021 and/or Golf R 2022
Volkswagen ID.3 -> Arteon R is cooler
Volkswagen Polo R-Line 2022 -> Polo GTI 2022

Overall, I think it's preferred to either get the sportier version of the previous gen, or wait a few months for the new performance version of the latest gen. And given the amount of cars they add per month, we really can't afford to expect the level of "normal cars" that they could pull in GT4.

Notice how this tiny (and very specific) list, would take them a year to complete, at the pace they release content right now. They really need to step up.

 

[Ande3200]

That would only work if they increased the chances of getting engines in said new update. They have previously changed the odds of what you can get in each ticket, but nothing significant and I wouldn’t expect that to happen. When you are awarded a ticket your prize has already been determined, the wheel spinning is just for show before you actually get what they gave you via the ticket.
It is what it is.

But they can actully change after an update, i recived 2 of new engine swaps in last update by having 29 tickets saved, i think its always better to save all tickets for an update, and then the same for next month

That's how I got the Rampage LS7.

 

[Dave A]

For my situation, the dialogue window popped up as soon as I opened the garage, but before opening the ticket. I wish I had thought to record it.

Edit: I should also mention that the ticket was a four-star standard ticket but had only cars available as rewards. No cash or parts options in the roulette. In hindsight, the game had a 100% chance to award me a car but it was spoiled to me by Sarah congratulating my 200 cars. It normally wouldn't be obvious until opening the ticket, so the game did have knowledge of the prize before I clicked open.

I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to me, but I didn't record it and it was a couple of months ago, I opened the ticket and then got my 200th car. I think the trophy notification also popped up when I opened the ticket but before the prize was shown as well.

 

[Nathan88]

Given how predominant engine swaps are. With many unlikely combinations from different manufacturers. I’d love the option to fit different motors to the F1500.

Of course you have big power options like the Nissan Group C V8TT. But I’d like to some in the 250-500bhp range to replicate old school F3, F3000 & F5000.

The Radical & BAC would also be great options for engine swaps.

 

[kjeldsen]

In GTS you earned as much, if not more Cr., you had less cars to buy, they were cheaper on average, there were no tuning parts to buy, and you were literaly given every day one car for free. How are you grinding less in GT7 than GTS?

And, your idea of grinding for every car you want, may be different from someone else. It's quite easy to understand that you may just want a few, specific, cars, while others might want to buy them all (and sometimes two of the same car to keep one stock and one fully tuned), so your need for grinding is not comparable to these players. Just keep in mind that, if you want to buy 2 McLaren F1, to keep 1 stock and 1 tuned, you need to spend nearly 40 million Cr. This requires industrial levels of grinding, just because PD chose to.

It depends on how you want to spend your time, even when i did the Tokyo races i never got as bored as i did when i earned credits in GT-Sport. Grinding was actual real grinding in GTS, boring as crazy. Most of the money earned in GT7 is (compared to GTS) fun.

True, if you want to buy 20 x 20 million cars you have to grind the skull out of your head.

 

[Nielsen]

I’ll be surprised if the update brings a new circuit with it, as June’s Watkins Glen addition took nearly four months post launch to arrive. I’m more inclined to think the update might add another layout similar to the 24h version of Spa that was added four months ago and roughly two months in. This could shape up to become the pattern, but at the end of the day I want Grand Valley now!

 

[RACECAR]

If the speculated fictional track is being added (assuming that IS happening), then comes the next question: Where in the real world will it be located? It's something that only just dawned on me and it's now got me wondering quite abit where they would place say Mid-Field Raceway or Apricot Hill Speedway (Two of the most recently modernized original Fictional circuits prior to GT7)

In Gran Turismo 2 Midfield Raceway was used for the Japanese Nationals, indicating it was originaly supposed to be in Japan, though I beleive it was a track inspired by Suzuka, so that makes sense, but we have seen other tracks used in this way in GT2 end up being located elsewhere in later games.

 

[snowgt]

Because there are plenty of new cars that aren't just "for the model year's sake"?

Even in your example, they could model the Aventador LP 780-4, it's pretty different from the 2011 original.

Not that I'd particularly choose that one myself, given that they already added the 2015 LP750, but there are plenty of fundamentally new cars from the last few years they could model. Your list is pretty selective including two manufacturers that don't put out too many new models but the other, Mercedes, do. As do many manufacturers.

I made a list a while back

Some of those are just facelifts, many are totally new cars or fundamentally different to the current versions. The list is far from exhaustive.

Well, it might not be exhaustive, but you've made me exhausted. If you start liisting every model currently on sale, like for Mazda, that's not a very good reason to expect them in GT.

And one last word on the Aventador-example. There's already two Aventadors in game, and you're basically listing 3 more. The Sian is basically an Aventador with a little hybrid capacity bolted on, and the Countach is a facelifted Sian, so both share lots of parts with the Aventador. I think there's time better spent than adding more of those.

If the speculated fictional track is being added (assuming that IS happening), then comes the next question: Where in the real world will it be located? It's something that only just dawned on me and it's now got me wondering quite abit where they would place say Mid-Field Raceway or Apricot Hill Speedway (Two of the most recently modernized original Fictional circuits prior to GT7)

I wonder if they'll ever think about placing a fictional track somewhere outside North America, Europe or Japan. I mean, Apricot Hill, if you judge by its scenery in GT6, could look like it belongs in the southernmost part of Brazil, really close to Uruguay, in the Campanha Central region. But most certainly PD doesn't even know such location exists, we don't even have Scapes angles in Brazil.

I think Mid-Field would be Japan. I referenced, in GT Sport, a circuit that seems PD got inspiration from. Its a Best Motoring video, but has gone private. Cant remember the name of the circuit.
It is an NSX one make battle, at a test circuit or club circuit with the similar tunnels and corners in a similar location as Mid-field. Wish I could access it.

This just popped up in my notifications. Looks like Mid-Field raceway.

I know hyperbole, but they do know us. Interlagos is there and it's a pretty good looking recreation, even down to the lightning.

On topic: I was having random thoughts that they should* bring back Cathedral Rally? Was it called like this? I reallyyy love the scenery on that track. Especially the one with the little bridge hairpin. GT used to have some amazing originals

not like I think they will, just would be some fun nostalgia and would look amazing

 

[Grimm6Jack]

I hope his guess is right... Car selling would make my day and I'd love to be able to shut up about it finally.

But what do I know. I just hate seeing a game I’ve spent so much time enjoying, and making memories with, continuously make bad choices.

You're definitely not alone on this...

There's commenting, and then there's commenting every single day/hour/minute about a product they don't own. Call me weird but I wouldn't go on long rants and have arguements about a game when I can't even be able to experience the positives and negatives of said game first hand.

Different perspectives, and also, Gran Turismo, as a game, is just racing and driving. It's not a story based game where you indeed have to play it first hand to get the true experience of both the story and gameplay (games like The Last of Us, Horizon, God of War for example).
The person in question has played all GT games and follows the GT news, which is enough to get an idea of how bad/good the game is. The only thing he can't speak about (because he did not experience it) is the driving physics.

Edit: Okay, let me hint less and more overtly state.

ENOUGH WITH THE COMPLAINING ABOUT COMPLAINTS

All you're doing is perpetuating the complaining you're complaining about and dragging the thread off-topic, turning it into exactly the thing you're complaining about - a pit of negativity.

And finally someone with power says it without beating it around the bush... In full size caps to boot. But unfortunately, the trend of complainers about complaints will still not end. But hey, at least it will aliviate things for a bit.

Or if Polyphony is going to represent the BIGGEST parts of motorsports (F1 and Open wheel in general) with just a couple cars, maybe they should put a higher priority on bringing them back in the future. Just a thought...

Agree. F1 is a bit tricky because of the official F1 game.

But at the very least, just a few of the older ones that have become icons in motorsport history, should have an effort to be part of this game.

I wouldn't even mind not having events for these cars, like a championship based on them. But just driving them and making CUSTOM races with them would be worthwhile.

MP4/4, F2004, W11, FW14B, older F1s like the Tipo 500 and Lotus 72... The current F1 game doesn't have the rights to these cars... right!? Only the current models which are the ones which are used in the game's career mode.
I too was not happy when the W08 did not come back when it was part of a much lesser game. You could even look at it as being a completely pointless addition considering GT Sport was a prologue.
Even the Lewis Hamilton time trials DLC didn't feature the W08, which for me was a crying shame as I much rather drive a high-end downforce car like an F1 (and also given the fact the guy I am trying to beat was at the time a 6x F1 world champion) than a much more sluggish GT car...

Either way that’s a lot of effort to sit there and open -> quit game -> reopen game -> re-open ticket then repeat as many times as necessary to still only hopefully get an engine that you’re looking for. Unless there’s a different way to know what the bad ones are or what prize you will get without actually opening them?

There isn't... The way you described it is in fact the only way for you to know the prize of your ticket withoutthe game register the ticket being opened.
So yeah, just accept your fate, open the ticket and be done with it. The likelygood of you getting anything worthwhile for the effort you did of closing the game and reopening it and seeing 15 seconds of pointless animation each time is just not worth it.[/color][/b]
