GT7 Update Coming August 25

[Boltar]

Aside from that not being what I said, the patch notes arrived exactly when I said they would and now we know what's in the update aside from content, exactly as I said we would.

Oh, okay. So everything is absolutely fine. Go on with your great game, great updates and great multiplayer. Right?

This is a really, really weird tantrum you're having and you're directing it in a really odd direction.

You know whats weird? Your refusal to critizise this game, PD and the old japanese environmentalist who made it. No, actually its not weird, its suspect.

FFB, physics, improved ????

• 4 one-time, samey, and disgustingly low-payout events. Another WTC 600, because... of course it is.
• 2 Extra Menus that took me about 30 seconds to complete.
• Made a car that is exactly specced as an existing one but with a ****ing livery its own thing that can be bought as a stand alone car.
• They decided that explaining that we now get a GT AWARDs logo is more important than going more detailed on the actual adjustments of the cars physics and performance points.
• Added new layouts of a track that should've been here at launch instead of an actual different track.

... still can't sell cars
still no propper endurance racing events
still no more missions
still no payout increase across the board (single player events, sport races, custom races, circuit experience, missions) to make the grind less tedius
still no AI fix on custom races
still we can't get engine swaps and special car parts any other way but with the disgusting RNG
further increase of LCD car prices while the payouts stay the same


Am I glad I abused the crap out of the glitches we had, and am I glad I play other things than GT7.

Needless to say... Garbage update.

As I said, this is a very strange tantrum. If you think I've said everything is fine and I refuse to criticise the game, you simply haven't been paying attention.

All I said was that we wouldn't know if car selling would be a feature of this update until the patch notes released after the update arrived. And now we do know, because the patch notes have been released after the update arrived. Which is what I said.

🤷‍♂️

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo Update 1.20 is Now Available: Adds McLaren MP4/4, New Catalunya Layouts and More​

The latest update for Gran Turismo 7, v1.20, is now available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Weighing in at around 2GB depending on which console you own, the update brings new cars and track layouts along with other changes...

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Unlike almost every other Porsche road car in the game, including the 991 GT3 RS, and even the 918, the Cayman GT4 cannot equip Dirt Tyres.

 

[Ramosis]

McLaren MP4/4 Gameplay (AI):

It sounds completely different than I remember...

 

[Grimm6Jack]

That's the 1990 onboard, not the 1988. This one had a V10, the 1988 was a turbo V6.

And FYI, the 1988 "magic pole" lap from Senna, does not have an existing onboard. Yes... a big shame how probably the best lap in F1 doesn't even have an onboard. Glad F1 has come a long way and almost nothing can be missed now (and for about the past 30 years or so).

 

[MroczMR]

Last update (with 918 spyder) was interesting since we have got interesting new cars and compeletly new events (hyper car and vintage racing cars), but this one is... bad really bad... I hope that changes to physics are good enough, but the rest of it is just not worth launching this game.

I just hope that we will get group 2 events next month... since they bothered to add extra menu with gr.2 collection.

 

[Madertus]

I swear one day I am going to lose my mind over PoDi's pace of adding new events to the game. You can't tell me they need an entire week to prepare one race. I can think of no other reason than pushing us to buying microtransactions.

Legend Cars (Hagerty Collection) prices have been revised based on real-life valuations from Gran Turismo partner, Hagerty.
Hagerty provides valuations and vehicle insurance for classic cars and has sponsored some historic car events in recent years.
New prices will be applied the next time a vehicle goes on sale. The next price revision is scheduled for November 2022.

My god was I worried about real world car prices being outdated in my Christian video game.

I can't believe how disappointing being a PoDi fan has turned out to be.

These are the images from '88 Monaco's race, when Senna crashed after the team asked him to slow down, after gaining a 55 sec. gap from Prost (his team mate).

 

[Ryan4Twins]

How much does the MP4 cost? I can’t update the game until later. Im hoping it’s not 20 million.

 

[Samus]

It's not, they faked it/used artistic license. That's why it conveniently cuts out just before he crashes, because, well, he doesn't.

It's pretty well known in F1 circles there is no on board from 88 Monaco.

 

[Famine]

Well, we won't know for sure until tomorrow, because it's not in the Legends Cars dealer until it ticks over at 0000 UTC tonight.

Read somewhere that it's around 8 million.

The on-board cameras that have become commonplace in the coverage were still in their experimental stage during the 1980s.

F1’s broadcast engineers were working hard at developing their own systems, making its debut on the Renault of Francois Hesnault at the 1985 German Grand Prix, entered specifically to test the camera in race conditions.

They would appear again in 1986 and 1987, Satoru Nakajima usually carrying the camera on his Lotus-Honda.

The fruits of FOM’s learnings was revealed in 1989. That year marked the debut of the cameras that we all take for granted today, a unit small enough to be packaged into an aerodynamic fairing, and circulating a reel of clear film to keep the lens clear of oil and muck.

Not every car had a camera, and FOM only allocated cameras to one team on each race weekend. For Monaco, the chosen team was Brabham, with Martin Brundle and Stefano Modena supplying on-board vision for the weekend.

However, there were no on-board cameras used in 1988.

What is often suggested as being ‘the lap’ is actually footage from Senna at Monaco in 1990, where he carried both an ‘over the shoulder’ camera, along with one mounted in the cockpit looking back up at his torso and helmet.

Thank you for the clarification. I’m fairly new to GT

Let's say you made the game. And you wanted to make people buy micro-transactions, is not adding events how you would go about it?

Seems like a **** way of doing it to me. If you want more MTX's you need more engagement, but you need there to be no other way to get credits easily. You also want people to have to buy more cars and parts so they needed more money, and you want more cars for them to have to buy.

Not adding events doesn't play into any of that.

I'd suggest that adding a ton of events that need specific cars, or types of car, potentially tuned in a specific way, a load more new cars to throw into the mix, and reducing payouts to match arcade mode or custom race mode across the entire game (including circuit experience and Sport mode time trials for instance) would be more effective. Introducing some races where you have to have a 10,000,000+ Cr. alone, would be more effective - especially if you made that the META grind (albeit with still not massive payouts).

Pushing people away from the game by not giving them new things to do, and allowing them to repeat what they do do without spending Cr. on new cars, and not giving them things to do with new cars isn't going to make them buy MTX's.

 

[FerrariF40]

Without FFB-fixes, this is a waste of time. Just drive ACC for example and compare the FFB.

Also no mentioning of freeze-bug-fix in Multiplayer when track is loaded.

Just Porsche advertising

They should return their BAFTA for this shameful fakery

 

[GTRP_Fuel]

Did they fixed the issues in private lobbies?

 

[Real_StiFex]

Just to check with anyone else but it seems both rear blinkers of the Cayman GT4 does not light up when activated. Front is working well to the contrary.

Otherwise it is a cool updates but yeah expecting them to rack up the events in significant way.
A track like Monza with only one available event is kind of let down significant to the rest of the overall package included to the games. I wish that the scanning team where not that affected by the covid travel restrictions and that is why we only have new layouts of already existing track in the game to be added so far ( apart for the Glen of course).

 

[Nathan88]

I wouldn’t be surprised if PD recorded the MP4/4 and used this sample for the F1500.

In ‘88 turbo cars had many restrictions and didn’t rev as high or aggressively as the ‘85-‘87 machines. I always thought the F1500 sounded tame. But it fits the MP4/4.

 

[Ryan Dungey]

Wait so they had an issue with how little tyre wear was visible on the indicator....so to fix this they cranked up the tyre wear rather than fixing the scale of the indicator.

Outstanding

From my understanding tyre west is the same. The indicator now shows how little grip you actually have rather than just having 70% of the bar showing you have lots of grip left but in reality you have **** all grip. Tyres are completely gone around 70% on the indicator prior to this update. Now we have a less deceiving indicator.

 

[TomBrady]

BOPed races between FT1500, 4/4 and Super Formula incoming? ;-)

Disagree? Why? You wouldn't want Lotus, Benetton, and any others? Sure a spec series is fun and SF19s are basically that anyway. But '80s F1 was not a spec series.

No I wouldn't. Any car they add could've been something else, and I think it's far more important to represent multiple eras than to simply cover 1.

Variety is far more important to me than having a "full field". Especially when spec racing is so fun.

PD are incompetent at nearly everything so it's not surprising they can't maximize microstransacions.

 

[TomBrady]

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.

I'm looking at PDs history as a better predictor. Lotus 97t, dlc in gt6, removed in gt sport. Mercedes w08, dlc in gt sport removed in gt7. Ferrari F10 in gt5 as DLC, removed in gt6. Also sennas other cars in gt6, gone. And I really loved that formula 3 car.

The only exceptions are the Ferrari f2007 from prologue and GT5, and the Lotus 97t being fauxed into gt7 (which I'm fine with)

They definitely can keep licensed f1 cars in each title, it just seems they choose not too more often than not.

I only saw 5 minutes of Kie’s stream. But he said a stint would be (at least) 1 lap shorter than he had planned on the combination he was practicing for. When I left he was about to try different cars to see if this was the case for all.

 

[TomBrady]

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.

I agree but I also think the rally cross track does count as new. Any time a variation entirely separate from the main track is added, I see it as a new track even if it's at the same location.
