REALLY liking the tweaks to the physics. RWD cars are much easier to catch when they step out, and it's not as sudden. Good stuff there.

Also bought a Cayman GT4 and did my best to replicate the GT4 RS. More on that in the "What did you do in GT7 today" thread in a bit.
OMG, they made the RWD easier to drive, but I still can't sell my cars. :lol: J/K
It's nice to see a positive post amongst all the negative BS. Also enjoying the Cayman GT4.

If only they actually told us their general plans for the future. We're in the dark here.
They have no plan, they are just making it up as they go really, the only thing we can base it off of, is the rumored datamined car list and so far we have gotten close to 70 cars, so 3 cars per month, do the math, think of all the cars, events, menus, races, tracks, layouts, they could squeeze in between now and then, the game came out In march and people like want content like yesterday lololol

”oh no“ GT7 is lacking content what am i going to do? This game might either be a ghost of it’s former self or evolve into something completely different i.e. No Man’s Sky look at what happened there really look at how many years it took to finally fix that game! GT7 is no different. Games take close to 5 years to develop now This aint the days of yearly sequels like the good ol ps1 days.

This game feels like a rental for sure yes, and that’s the scary part because we don’t own anything in this game, we are at the mercy of PD really but the way Sony is headed by the time this game‘s life cycle is complete in console gaming it will be ready for the PC gaming mark my words.

This might be overtly optimistic, but I think there has to be a "piece of the puzzle" that we don't have that might explain the seemingly bizzarre decisions behind the events, maybe they're planning to implement the GT League again later down the road or some new system for Menus, idk. The game has so many cars and so many tracks and yet the best thing they seem to be able to come up with every update is a 10 lap WTC700.
Even if they're planning something else down the line, it seems hard to fathom what reasoning would apply to not simply having more races now. No matter how good whatever they do in the future, it would always have been better if there were more events and things to do during this first six months.

The pessimistic option is that this is all some sort of nasty trick to push MTX or whatever.
The optimistic option is that it's some sort of mistake and Polyphony just don't understand what it takes to make a game fun to play long term for a wide range of players.

We don't really know and we may never know because Polyphony doesn't talk about these things. But it's pretty weird given some of the things that Kaz said around release.

GT7 came out in March of 2022. When do you think GTS came out?

I agree. I think for those that have given up on the game and its frustrations, its going to take a hell of a content drop to bring them back. At the rate these updates are coming out, and their seemingly thinner content each time, its going to take years for this to become "the most complete GT to date".

I would love for an industry journo to put the hard questions on PD. To really dig and give us some answers into this game and the motives behind its current state.
 
GT7 did release nearly 5 years after GT Sport though...
The gaming industry is a mess thanks to covid, GT 7 Was supposed to get released the first half of 2021 thanks to a video Sony‘s official youtube channel hinted back in 2020.
 
As for the time to complete new content. I wonder if the data PD have, reflect the player usage. I mean, if I read in this forum, players have dwindled down each game, why should they add 12 cars again per update?

I mean, GT Sport didn’t work at first. Then, as Kaz mentioned, people came around and started buying the game. Was that due to the 12 cars per update? GT League?(That was my reason for buying the game five months after release)

IF PD do have 12 cars worth ready to go each month, regardless of the MTX, because you can’t buy what’s not there, does the data show not enough people are playing the game?

Problem with these things is, that although a lot of people celebrate getting money back from greedy corps, the business will invariably look to recoup losses in other ways, usually from the consumer...

A bit different as public sector, but hapoening in UK now, with things like furlough payments, other things, celebrated and people even encouraged others to take advantage, but costs have to be recouped somehow... as we re now seeing playout... (other events also playing a part of course).
No such thing as a free lunch for everyone.

I havent read the ins and outs of this case, but I'm struggling to see how it will stand tbh. Seems like a big part of the argument is that it's the sole place to buy digitally on this platform. I'm not sure what difference that makes, from a layman's view. Surely the person purchasing is responsible for checking the price in the store, then running a quick Google search to check the price of buying it physically? I guess if you own a digital only version console, you're kind of stuck though.
This popped up on my newsfeed,i dont know the ins and outs either but it makes absolutely no difference to me either way.A lot of my digital games i bought during the sales that psn have,the full price ones i have had my moneys worth out of them.Including GT7 im still playing,still hoping.lol

So? It took nearly 5 years to develop GT7. Now you're suggesting even that's not enough, for a game that is in many ways just an upgraded version of the previous game?

If it wasn't ready, they shouldn't have released it.
 

Wether it will amount to anything remains to be seen,a lot of people will get something back if it happens.
Whole thing will go nowhere it’s about the 30% Sony gets from sales from other publishers games etc like EA, UBI and all that. They set the prices not Sony. The person making the claim should realise. Nintendo, Microsoft, apple, steam all do the same thing. Sony can and will drag those 4 companies into it. Just like apple did in the epic vs apple case.

The case will get thrown out and go nowhere. It’s just someone trying to make some noise due to the cost of living crisis trying to get money. Yeah it sucks gaming is expensive but people are responsible for what theh purchase and not Sony.

100%.I knew what the prices were when i bought the games so im good,expensive? Yes but gaming can be pricey,if i choose a ltd edition copy over a standard one i pay extra,thats my choice.
Like i said this popped up on my newsfeed,prob to do with google ads and my settings,which have a tick in the`gaming`box or whatever it is.
Some of my digi games were bought in the sales so i take the rough with the smooth.

In one of best scenarios, GT 7 should have been delayed to Spring-Summer 2023.
2020/2021 were the years where productivity is seriously hampered after all.

Kaz said that COVID didn't affect them that much and even though it obviously would have impacted them travelling to scan cars and tracks it should not have affected creation of events and game structure at all, those are all one person jobs, or something that is easily liaised through online communication.

There is really no excuse for the state of the gameplay selection at launch, or now 6 months later. None.
 
Rally cross is soooo slow and boring, zero immersion. We dont need rally or rally cross to this game. Please. 🙄😑😵‍💫
Try dirt rally rally cross. That is rally cross!
Rallycross is great but unfortunately they added it with one of the worst circuits. Somewhere like Lydden Hill is much better. The Catalunya track is too narrow, too many slow hairpins.
 
A case which will be thrown out. A business is allowed to charge whatever price they like.
Nintendo was sued for 25 million for price fixing in the early 1990's, so your assumption is incorrect! I should know, since I received compensation way back then! Yes, unfortunately, I am that old to remember! War to old-timer gamers that are now class B drivers because of the lack of skills due to being old! :embarrassed:

Yeah I agree, I love the new physics as well.

That was a completely different scenario. Companies ARE allowed to charge whatever they like, but are not allowed to tell retailers what they can charge to consumers. That's price fixing and is what Nintendo got into trouble for.

This new lawsuit is about the 30% Sony put on top of 3rd parties titles and isn't about price fixing (and doesn't claim to be).
 
I think it would be good idea to work to make the premiums from gt6 to gt7 that would require less work, and we could boost the car count faster, that also proably why they could do more cars for gt sport as most of them was returning cars, many of cars added to gt7 in updates is brand new models,
 
Well, pet peeve triggered. European Sunday Cup at the National layout of Barcelona, click on Lopez to see what he has to say, and "The first corner of this track is surprisingly tight, so be mindful of that when you break."

break vs brake. It's as bad as your vs you're, they're vs their, and all the other ignorant lowlife "misteaks." AAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!
He maybe just wants you to be mindful of your mistake of not braking hard enough and crashing while your spine breaks in half? 🤔
 
I'm getting on the car settings page, setting max top speed, Is now in kmh, when pre update mine read in mph and having setting at miles makes no difference
