Some people say that increasing the number of circuits is not important. They couldn't be more wrong.

It's no use bringing more events. This game doesn't need events per se, it needs to bring the running points championships back.

Those championships that are listed at the bottom of the circuit section are unimpressive, lacking in personality and very repetitive, precisely because of the meager amount of circuits.

We need GT League back, we need championships with eight or more stages, each with specific circuit; but, first of all, it is necessary to bring back the classic circuits and new world circuits.
This.Im no programmer so dont know what it would involve to put GT league into the game but it would totally change the carrer mode.Specific races for certain cars,drive train etc,the list is endless.Oh yeah,some decent payouts for the races so people dont feel the need to grind the same 4 tracks for the expensive cars.
 
Nice to see those cars in the game, but we need some proper Muscle Car cup and a dedicated Formula championship like the Formula GT (GT3-GT5)

I read you, but I can’t wait for that. Just give me the cars and tracks and I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ve been playing Gran Turismo since it launched on the original PlayStation, and I’m well aware of how they have handled selling cars, and gift cars over the years, but when the ability to sell cars finally comes to fruition, I hope they go by realistic car values, and allow all cars, gift or not to be sold.

Having to pay Hagerty adjusted prices on every used car, production or concept, and not being able to sell using the same formula would be a slap in the face.

But then again, they don’t allow us to buy engine swaps, even though I can go on summit racing, and have a long block LS1 on my door step a week later.

I’ll still play the game, but I think it would turn off new players, and be a proverbial straw that breaks the camels back for others.

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.
 
With what we now have in terms of engine swaps. I'd happily take something like a Fit wagon, or a newer prius. Especially if that means we could drop a 2JZ in said Prius, or a K20 in a Fit. :sly:
Yes! Imagine a Hellcat swapped Odyssey, or maybe G16E-GTS Toyota Sports 800. I love the combination of swaps so far, such as the R8 swap for the MR2, and 2JZ for the GR86.

I'm excitedly but patiently awaiting what swaps become available for cars in the future.

I love the swaps so much, I just wish they were easier to come by hahaha. There are so many combinations to think up, and I'm actually happy to see PD do some fun combinations too, like the Rampage engine in the DeLorean in the last update.

I sort of want a Viper engine in the Cappuccino to really make a pocket rocket. Probably with the explosion included.

Did you miss the train to motor city a month or so ago?

No, but I mean all the fun future ones they're adding - the Rampage one for example was after the bug was patched, and that number will only continue to grow as updates pass.
 
I too have done the same but I wouldn't say it's 10 times the game GT7 is. There's no career mode, the graphics are worse and you can't modify your car.
I think it is 100% ten times what GT7 is. There is so much more to do. The giant point to point mountain roads put it leaps and bound ahead of GT7.

I am actually really enjoying the career mode in AC. Last night I did two races in the BMW Z4 GT3 section, 1 race at Imola, the other at Monza. 100 AI difficulty and I really had to push hard the whole time and at times adjust the setup of the car and try again. I fought hard for 8 laps and got 3rd at Imola and 2nd at Monza. It was great fun.

In my opinion Assetto Corsa 4K@60 with the right shaders looks amazing. Just as good at GT7, if not better, which is no walk in the park especially given that the game is 8 years old now.

The one thing AC does for me is not leave me frustrated. It never has because it was not sold as something it is not.

Assetto Corsa Evoluzione (Spelling?) looks amazing too. I cant wait to try that.
 
I personally disagree. Even just the datamine has sucked most of the fun out of the updates.

I don't see what is gained by knowing what is coming.
...and this is why the car leaks can be a thing so bad that PD have to waste time to work on the game's inner workings to further get any would-be "peekers" out in later versions of the game (something Nenkai has voiced concerns repeatedly). Also, it can also propagate the idea that the cars we get in updates are already set in stone.

And the joke of it is that certain people commenting on it don’t even own or haven’t even played GT7 🙄

It’s like someone telling me why my Porsche is a bad car yet they’ve never driven one

I see a lot of these posts, and yet all the people I see posting do own the game, so what exactly is this trying to do? Are you finding it hard to actually argue the merits of their posts so you go about trying to taint them instead of actually adding anything to the conversation? It’s like we all own the car but you go around telling everyone we don’t because you don’t like the things we found wrong with it…
 
I don't know, maybe a proper single player career mode that takes more than 15 hours to finish and races that are actually races with competent AI and not catch up overtake challenges, you know, like every other racing game on the market. Just minor things like that.
The true genius of Kaz is giving people options of how to enjoy GT7. Some people hit the track for 15hrs and spent the next 5 months discussing his creation on GTPlanet.

Each to their own, but I know who’s having more fun.

If there was that much more to do I would play it all the time but I don't. Let me give you an example of why I believe GT7 is the "better game" when it comes to the gameplay experience:

You buy a Toyota Supra from the used car dealer. You take it to GT Auto. You change the wheels, change the rear wing, add a rollcage, add a front splitter, change the front and rear bumper and change the colour. You go to the tuning shop. You buy all the upgrades to make the car go as fast as possible. You go to Scapes and take pictures of it because you want to show off YOUR car in the best way possible. You then go to Suzuka to see how it drives with all your upgrades. You feel a sense of pride because you've built the Supra of your dreams. Can you do all this in Assetto Corsa? No!
In my opinion Assetto Corsa 4K@60 with the right shaders looks amazing. Just as good at GT7, if not better, which is no walk in the park especially given that the game is 8 years old now.
You need to spend a decent amount of money to do this though. More than GT7 and a PS5.
 
Are you seriously suggesting they shouldn't add any cars until they're considered iconic or legendary in the real world? That's the stupidest excuse I've heard yet for the lack of modern cars.

People want to drive cars that are relevant in popular culture NOW. Whether they're forgotten in the future or become legendary is irrelevant. People want them now.
Source? I'm serious, you made an unsubstantiated claim that flys in the face of what anyone who is in the car scene lives. I bet both my balls If I made a car list with old cars would beat a car list with Modern cars all day. Sure bud, take your 2022 M series bwm, I'll take my 80's m sport. You want that 2022 86, Psh, I'll take the OG hatch ALL day. The NEW WRX ? Give me ANY prior generation before that ugly monstrocity. You seem to forget that GT sport got roasted for having a modern car list, PD literally churned out old cars as their life depended on it. I'm sorry to inform you most kid's would rather a R-34 and MKV supra over their modern counterparts. What cars are relevant in popular culture bud? I'm sure the guys over at Mattel, Inno 64, sparky , and Majorette have a pulse on the culture better than you do, yet most of them rarely if ever release a current model vehicle with the exception of Mattel which seems to have a huge rock on for Corvettes and Camaro's. Surprisingly, they release cars that are half a decade old. ****, i think they literally just dropped a 2012 AMG C 63 in the premium line, it's almost as if that model has gone down as a good year compared to the ten year's worth of variations that came after.

I know your counter s " but why can't we have both": because they are pissing resources making a car that will become dated and irrelivant within 2 years. With race car they can never win, We have people LIKE YOU saying the car list is dated, They will be ****ed unless they keep making the next generation over and over and over again even if the new generation is inferior and less popular.
I want a " greatest hit's" car list, not a " what was new the day the game dropped"

Do I feel we need SOME modern car's because they are inherently important? Yes, I think the newest corvette, newest 911, and newest Japanese big three halo car should be there, outside of that, I could care less what the new german/ american car is, their reputation is incredibly hit and miss.

So according to you there is no current car culture, everyone is only interested in classic cars. Yeah.....no.

So where is the option for a career mode with proper races? Must have missed that option.

Question to the crowd…

How many of you guys have gone back to playing previous Gran Turismo titles more than you play GT7?
If I owned a PS2 I'd be going back and playing GT3 again, otherwise I rarely play older titles. GT Sport sits on my PS4 HDD mainly just for sake of uploading decals. GT1 and 2 I haven't touched in years. 5 I just recently deleted from my PS3 and 6 only gets use when the rare occasions I want a GT game but internet isn't working.

I play 7 mostly not because it is new but because it is more convenient to launch. Plus is has better car sounds and let me tell you those old 'vacuum cleaner' sounds just don't compare.

Learn to read, A 5-year-old car is not a classic car, the last generation WRX is a two-year-old car.
Also, there is literally no release year car culture, there is no modding scene for a brand new model year car unless it is a model year revision which proves my point. The newest supra saw support day 1 for cosmetic changes ( really rare for any car but the supra is literally an icon DUE to the MK4 ) but its real modding capabilities didn't take off until almost a year later. Also, you never debunked my first point, no one would want a game with a modern car line up's over a game with a legendary car line up's that isn't a licensed racing game series that literally becomes dated in a year .

I really like your way of thinking. You make some extremely good points and some very valid arguments to why GT is the better game.

For me though, I have experienced far more enjoyment from AC. That is not to take away from your views at all though, because imagine how boring the world would be if everyone preferred the same thing?

I love how GT have always made your cars feel like YOUR cars. I don't think any other developer has managed to capture that feeling quite like PD have. In GT7 that feeling is diminished I feel, because they took the approach of giving you too many cars early on in the piece with no real opportunity to stick with your early game dunger and upgrade it as you see fit to make it more competitive for career progression. What is important to me in a GT game is a robust career mode just like GT4 and FM4, PD took that away with GT7.

I wanted to love GT7 as much as I did GT4, but for me unfortunately these games have continued to get progressively worse for the offline/single player gamer like myself.

I might buy another PS3 so I can fiddle with the course creator in GT5 some more. But no desire to play any others.

Why do you need a modding scene for a car to be popular and of interest to people? New cars get announced, people want to drive/buy them. It's pretty simple.

There is nothing to debunk, since I never said anyone wanted a game solely with new cars. I simply said that it seems PDs priority is not in adding new road cars, since of the 15 added/to be added, only one is a new road car and only a dupe of a road car already in the game, so barely counts. I also never said only current year cars, we're talking about cars from the last two to three years that are thin on the ground.

GT7 currently has the following real road cars:

2023 - 1
2022 - 1
2021 - 2 (Technically one, BRZ and GR86)
2020 - 4
2019 - 5
2018 - 3

For a game released in 2022, that's pretty weak.

Perhaps but I didn't get that feeling. It just gave me more opportunities to tune and screw around.

I still believe that GT7 is the best since GT4 because I'm enjoying it just as much.
 
What came out in 2022 that wasn't a facelift, and or a limited run of about a handful, anyways?

Or worse

A c r o s s o v e r
What about the other years? I clearly said not just this year. Just 16 road cars from the last four years.

Besides, nothing wrong with adding facelifts either if they've also got a few differences under the bonnet. The 2022 Audi R8 for example is pretty different in more than just looks compared to the 2007 model we currently have.
