Massive Changes Coming to Gran Turismo 7 in Response to Fan Feedback

[sejtur]

Sounds like it is going in the right direction, glad they are doing something in response to the fan feedback. I’ll reserve judgment until the patches are rolled out.

What would be a fair credit payout for winning a 24 hour event in the new Endurance Challenges?
5,000,000?

The fact that the endurance races are in the challenges section I think makes it more difficult for them to implement the possibility of changing the driver online, but at least I hope that from the beginning they allow saving the progress in the pits. Although it is also true that with the PS5 sleep mode it is somewhat less necessary than it was in previous installments.

Great that they are "listening" now, but.... Make the game playable offline and it's all good.

 

[ederss7]

"Yamauchi notes that this latter action was intended to re-balance the game’s economy ahead of the updates he has now detailed in the blog post". Really? We are not stupid, mr. Kaz.

3.rd Thread about same Topic, the news

Well anyway, i think the changes are good, and the game is moving in the right direction

 

[djs]

Woke up to those news. Instantly I wondered if it was April fools.
OMG. Thank God I must say!

 

[B80]

Really pleased with that. Happy with the proposals that are coming and bo doubt more to follow.

Although they have screwed up at launch, first few weeks, extremely pleasing and reassuring to have such a swift response in making the ammendments. Proves they are listening and do care.

 

[dhandeh]

If the endurance races are in the mission sections, that must mean it's a one reward only and no payouts for future attempts?

 

[mobilmasher]

Nothing mentioning the online lobbies? I would like to be able to save my room settings instead of having to recreate a room from scratch just to change a single setting, or to correct a mistake I made in setting up the original lobby.

 

[asifzk]

Got my million! Gonna blow it on a Lambo V12 VGT.

 

[AK84LFC]

Do we need so many threads on this?

I didn't catch that "April update" thread before making this. MB.

Mods, please merge this with "April update" and the main site's thread. @Scaff

I think they wanted to focus on the economy issues first, since they were 99% of the complaints. Hopefully once they've got that somewhat sorted they'll move onto other areas ,that need attention, of which there are certainly many.

 

[Stavwaite]

This is great news. Sounds so positive I am shocked to be honest.

 

[SoulSilvera]

I hope that the increase of the money cap from 20 mil to 100 mil is so everyone has the same limit, and not because they intend to sell historic cars that cost more than 20 mil. Even with these changes, I fear that it is still gonna be quite grindy.

 

[georgetigra]

That's why PD maybe is the best dev out there..

 

[Steer]

This flip flopping around, combined with bugs that all recent GT games have been launched with just reinforces my opinion that I am better off waiting until:

a. this mess re credits has been sorted out
and
b. The major bugs have been ironed out
and
c. the price for the game has dropped to a more reasonable level

Everyone who already owns the game is my game tester! 😜

I look forward to buying the game with these problems sorted out in a couple of months time.

Maybe keep a lid on your enthusiasm. They aren't out of the woods yet.

 

[ToyGTone]

Positive changes but I'm ain't sure if that's enough. Only time will tell how the game would be a year from now on.

But I'm glad that the community managed to spread the word about the issues of the game.

 

[Steer]

Not sure if serious. Launched a bugged game, upset a huge ppn of its fanbase by pushing everyone towards paying more real life money for cars. What part of this is "best"?

 

[scarface335]

RESPECT! i went from a 5/10 back to a 9.8/10!. That 0.2 is if offline functionality comes

Just for my understanding, why are everyone talking about Offline functionality ? I simply do not get it

 

[BalsBrother]

It sounds good but I will wait and see what we actually get with the patches before I give a thumbs up or not.

I am a bit irritated by the "develop as a live service" as this just seems like a beta and one that I paid full price to access rather than a planned out live service game. Things may be better in the future but as I said I will have wait & see how that goes I guess

 

[JC_Dude]

I find it positive. If they up the rewards by 100% all the problems related to monetisation will be solved.

Doesn't fix the force feedback and physics issues though.

It rally won't though. The Fisherman race paid what, 100k before the nerf? That's 200 replays just to afford 1 of the most expensive cars. The game lacks singleplayer content, simple as that. Why did the menus stop at entry level supercars? Why did the championships only go up to A License? Why are there no events for Gr. 1, 2, Super Formula, VGTs and many other unused car categories? There would've been no complaining if there was stuff to do after you complete the Cafe. The World Circuits map has what, 50 events? That's nothing. I mean many circuit layouts don't event get a single race!

And no, I don't care for custom races. I want to start the game, pick an event and go, not fiddle with options for 10 minutes before I start the race.

Can't play (to earn points and such) while offline. Can't buy cars offline. Can't even enjoy your garage offline. Nothing saved offline. So it's a big deal.

Why would you be Offline ?

or recreate a room simply to change track, that's unbelievable

 

[Scaff]

If that were the case we would never have got to this situation in the first place.

They deserve credit for the response, but it's a response to a mess they created in the first place.

 

[anthonyfa18]

I would like to take the time to say thank you for listening to your community polyphony digital and Sony need to start respecting their fan base it’s a give and take situation. This is a step in the right direction but there’s still a lot of things that need to be fixed because the community is hurt by what happened it will take time for us to get Trust again

 

[Michael88]

This news make me cautiously optimistic.

 

[Jiminto1991]

Online Function is very ok but sometimes is not acceptable because not everyone have good or fast internet. that is the simple reason.
