GT7 Update Coming August 25

[BigSarj]

Now we sit and hope for bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

It's absolutly joke. We get "free content" with content, holding back to make free updates possible.

Polyphony absolutly have lost the touch to the ground. They are flying in another atmosphere.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Adding F1 cars is about the only thing I grumble about with Gran Turismo, so the MP4/4 is just a waste of licensing money to me, but the rest of the update looks alright. I'd rather there was more, but it's better than nothing.

I thought it was mixed surface for Catalunya, but it actually just looks like muddy tarmac...

It could be worse - it could be EA, which charges 1st-party AAA prices for yearly updates of its sports franchises, and manages to make each iteration worse than the previous one.

Forza Motorsport can't come soon enough. It really needs the big competitor. In 2017 we shouldntÄt forget, there was launched Forz 7 and PC2. So a huge concurrence situation.

I expect something more...but that boring Catalunya thing again.
The cars looks great, maybe we can do nothing with the F1 but's ok

So see you next month guys...

 

[Talon16]

The rallycross looks kinda cool.

 

[Nebuc72]

This is borderline garbage imo. The new layouts are nice but to include (presumably) no events is asinine. The one thing this game is well and truly lacking in. What are they playing at?

 

[RaY29rus]

I wonder if this is a new schedule for tracks. One month nothing, then a layout, then a track. Schedule changed for cars (from how it was in GTS), so I guess it shouldn't really be a surprise how schedule for tracks also changed.

yes, tarmac with a thin layer of gravel



but hey, I'm all in favor of them adding more RX circuits, even just as varients of normal tracks - Spa, Nurburgring, Silverstone, etc.


As ever, people moaning before the full update notes are released.

 

[Panoz]

Finally Catalunya has the layouts arriving to make far more enjoyable to drive on.

I will likely never touch the chicane layout ever again for custom races. Also, is the RX layout the first dirt/mixed track added since Sport was launched?

 

[JTB10000]

Though I can't imagine they were very hard to implement, I'm kinda okay with these new layouts. I have complaints about the state of the game and all that but it's the same stuff every month.

Yes it is.

 

[RaY29rus]

New scapes look awesome

 

[Corins]

i can't understand why people think that there are no new races. When in the past updates we have been waiting for the full notes.

 

[KAlex122]

New events alone is not enough. I hope they pay well too. If not they will be driven exactly once.

At last! The Catalunya old layout tarmac was already there, all they needed was to move the barrier placement. Dont know why it took so much time to do it.
Edit: Cool, so they added the Nacional and Rallycross layouts aswell. Very nice.
I've driven in the Nacional layout IRL, thats the one you use when you pay for driving sports cars there.

For anyone wondering, after the pitlane exit there's a shorcut that splits the circuit in two parts, one of them is the Nacional

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.20 Will Add Three New Layouts to Catalunya – Including Rallycross​

The contents of Gran Turismo 7’s 1.20 update have been revealed ahead of it becoming available on Thursday August 25, with a total of four new cars and three additional layouts to one of the game’s real-world circuit...

 

[BrunusCL82]

I'm happy that PD is bringing new layouts to existing circuits in the game.

But, in my opinion, all these layouts should already be available from the entrance of the main circuit.

This generates a false sense of updating content, as a diversionary tactic.

Anyway, I hope to see Trial Mountain with a Rally Cross circuit, like El Capitan had in Gran Turismo 4.

EA is so bad. Like I was shocked Currency you paid real dollars for is locked to just that one game, and on top of that all the cards you collected etc get blown away the next year. Worst sports franchise games on the market by far in terms of just sheer greed and low innovation year to year.

Where is selling cars. It was mentioned months ago. Urgh.

You'll want to read the last paragraph there.

Finally I won't have to go through the Catalunya Chicane again. Seems like a really solid update, can't wait to get my hands on the MP4/4

Also I'd guess that now a pattern is showing with the updates?

April: 3 cars + New Layout
May: 3 Cars + Menus
June: 3 Cars + New Track
July: 3 Cars + Menus
August: 3 Cars + New Layout(s)

So maybe the next (standalone) track would come in the October update?

Possibly. Could be worse, could be better.

 

[GTjedi99]

Ok a rally cross circuit is amazing, also maybe a slight faint of hope that pikes peak one day makes an appearance

 

[Cheshyrkat]

Not terribly exciting update but maybe the mixed surface racing will be the start of something better in the future. In any case, it's an excuse to turn the game on this month.

 

[RetroGT]

I've been wanting the no chicane layout for a while, so I'm good with that.

Agree this is a good layout to bring, but I really hoped for a new track. I'll enjoy playing Barcelona though so reasonably happy.

 

[Lucius 5000]

Fairly dissapointed. I love Catalunya track, but I would enjoy a lot more a new circuit rather than 3 layouts that I personally found boring. Also neither of the cars is very atractive in my opinion, due to the prize or its characteristics...

 

[KAlex122]

Ralleycross Daily Race A incoming

 

[LordSlapshot]

I'm done. That is all i have to say.

You were done for all of 7 minutes, and it quite clearly was not all you had to say.

Rayllycross

That's not the rallycross section. It starts at about the hairpin in sector 3 and travels around that end of the track.
