Probably only some fixes and changes. But it would be nice to see just more events for current tracks and cars. This would be nice.
Like more money grinding options.
 
PD really are a strange developer. I may be wrong here but not many other devs have to basically take a game down for hours to push a patch. Especially a game that is mostly single player. How dated are they?

I genuinely cannot think of any other games I own, which is a lot and especially sim racers, where this happens.

Automobilista 2 is updated constantly with major patches and you just download them and you’re ready to go. Sony seriously has to audit PD because this is pathetic.
 
Surely it’ll be a fix for FFB, hopefully lobby problems too. Additional content seems like it comes near the end of the month nowadays so I wouldn’t expect it till then.
 
My question is, why dont they make a option for the force feedback? Why should it be applied to everyone and not for one user only Like if you want the realistic one (being the current ffb in this version) you switch to that setting, if you want less force feedback, then there's the rookie option (being the option with the weakest ffb but you still feel the ffb of the car)
Or even seperate each categories, like the corner ffb when you turn your car, the ffb when you touch a car, or even put all the sliders all the way to feel the full power of the ffb, surely other sim racing games have this type of setting to adjust the ffb to your personal preference and also seperate presets of your own ffb settings so that you can switch between two or multiple settings (a kids preset you've saved? Load it when a kid is playing gt7, a time attack preset, load it, etc)
i'm not a gt7 player but i feel like these ideas i just talked about will definely change the way your driving experience is

Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update Arrives on June 9

The next update for Gran Turismo 7 will be released on Thursday, June 9, 2022, according to an official announcement on Polyphony Digital’s website...
Is it just me or is the biggest let down from launch day is the lack of original tracks. Before the game came out I was so looking forward to driving on tracks like Midfield, Apricot Hill, Grand Valley, and Autumn Ring.
The other annoying thing is that there's still only three rally tracks. While the rally driving wouldn't be my favourite part of the game it would be nice to have some variation.
I personally would like to see a few tracks being added over some cars for the next update or two, plus more events for Gr. 1 and Gr.2 cars
 
If they bring back the option to sell cars, I wonder if we will lose collector points when we sell a car. PD should give all our sold cars a mark that you once owned these cars, so you don't accidentally buy them again in the future if you decide to increase your collector level. TBH I don't really care about the collector level, but that's what I think PD will be working on right now. Or they just don't care and just slap a sell button on the screen.

Kinda torn on this one. The "grind" was a big factor in GT of old but I'm not sure it's really a good way to build a modern racing game. One easy compromise would be to increase payouts for doing well in online races. The current payout isn't really enough for guys who get podium finishes.

Buying duplicates still gives more collector points. Deleting cars currently doesn't remove any points, so I doubt selling will.

If they don‘t delete the car from your collection book, in your garage, that’s all the confirmation players need.

As for biggest letdowns, I think PD have changed this game more times than V8 Supercars change their rule book.

Have any players done this?:
Is there a social side to it? Obviously, car collecting and car culture can be quite a social thing. People love to show off their car collections.

Kazunori Yamauchi:
That's something that's going to be possible through the garage - you can open up your garage to other players so that they can show off their collection as well.


Another. He had Five years in making this game and apologised in the first month.
That's fair enough. It was worth a punt anyway! Obviously this is the first numbered game for quite a while. When did work start on this in earnest? I always got the impression that work on this next numbered title has been going on in the background for quite a while.

Kazunori Yamauchi:
It would be right after GT Sport was finished, around the end of 2017.

Last one:
What is it you wanted to express this time? What is it about car culture and about your love of cars that you wanted to get across with Gran Turismo 7?

Kazunori Yamauchi:
This time around we really made this Gran Turismo title with a sense of urgency, because compared to 25 years ago there aren't very many leads or ways for people to become car fans anymore. I think Gran Turismo really has a big responsibility in that aspect to create new car fans out of the new generation of kids out there.

With GT Cafe, it really urges you to collect these cars, and teaches you about the cultural backgrounds of these significant cars. We've spent a lot of energy working on that, and the reason for that was to make sure that the kids who are discovering cars for the first time really get to have an opportunity to come into contact with that knowledge.

Well, Kaz, really. Players are forced to collect cars at the start. I mean, for anyone that wants to unlock features. There was nothing wrong, in past games, with clicking on a car and reading its history. A Cafe with reading heads wasn’t necessary.
Biggest let down has been poor execution.
 
Why has PD such worse communication? They mention something with PP when everybody is waiting for FFB fix (and MP fixes)
I believe that’s generic wording these days. It’s been on every update for a few months now. They’re just covering their ass.
 
My question is, why dont they make a option for the force feedback? Why should it be applied to everyone
You would like to think it was purely a welfare decision but, FFB disabling is as much about litigation. No doubt the first mouth breather to break a finger because of some obscure car set up will sue. It will no doubt be patched tomorrow.
