So it looks like Nenkai found some more events/championships that were cut

I have no clue what constitutes something being VR ready. But I’m guessing there has to be some sort of tweaking done.

But that’s exactly my point on why content has been slow to come and/or GT7 was launched with not a lot of content to begin with.


…assuming that GT7 will be VR compatible, and hoping Pd gives us a full-fat version of the game this time; it’s fair to assume that PD was optimizing this game for PSVR2 long before it was even really announced.

👆🏼If that’s not the case (or some version of it). Then I agree with you that we’ll get a stripped down VR version like last time

Depending on how the VR is to be used, i.e. freedom of movement or just looking around from a fixed perspective for example, you need to ensure the player will see things correctly. Beyond making sure the player isn't going to see unmodelled assets due to way VR changes how you view a game, it's mostly a case of getting the controls and perspective right. In principal at least.

If you were to build a game from scrath with 3d models from Blender for instance, you can in theory, use those for a VR experience no differently to a non-VR experience. Some game builder programs have a simple VR export function that enables the game to be played in VR with a single click. But for a game like GT7 you want it optomised better than a single click export would achieve.

All of this is assuming the hardware is capable of running what you have created in VR at the fidelity desired. If not, then it's like are optomising a game for different hardware, you have to find the right level of detail and graphical fidelity for the VR experience you want to achieve. That's why in GT Sport there were only 2 cars in the VR races, the PS4 couldn't provide a good gameplay expeirence in VR at the fidelity PD wanted to achieve.

Honestly, what’s really baffling is that the content rollout so far is drastically slower than in GT Sport. ‘Cause in Sport, they were almost pumping out 7+ cars and a new track or layout every month. That’s how you do GAAS right there, not this slower rollout for GT7.

So freaking unusual for them to be this much slower. =/

I can't believe this is supposed to be my favorite franchise. More than 8 months later, I still haven't bought this game.

It’s just me, probably my age and just what I feel are out of my control. I did a race at Spa with my cars ranging 1967-1973 PP603-694. One hour 1x time progression, Late Morning with 5x fuel 1x tyre, like the Alsace Mission in The Human Comedy. Using my ‘71 Mach 1, I had awesome battles through the field. Fuel strategy was pretty basic at 6.5 laps between pit stops. Plus, the Boost Weak AI didn’t just gift me positions.

Ultimately, the Pantera won(by 30 seconds), I finished P2 and the frugal ‘71 CSL finished P3, with the Dino right behind. My payout? 50,660 Cr. I had fun(I always do). Thing is, this after doing countless trial and error since the Custom Race options and all the grinding to get to the point of building all the cars I need to do such races. This should have been at game debut.

I mentioned before, I don’t see the PD Championships being any good. Their Mission races should be the standard.

Kaz would rather make a movie instead of making GT the game it deserves too be.

Guys, this year problably the last year is where you have to upset about GT.

Lets hope all the next Forza Motorsport in 2023 will be the game we all wanted and than let fall down GT.

Sorry, but this decisions of them make me very upset, to cut content and bring it as "free update". It's a bad joke.

I got some of this legendary cars and cant use them because of lack of events.

The same with the datamined car list. Instead of giving us the cars, they distribute it over the next years as "free updates", too.

I have my fingers crossed for Forza Motorsport. I put my racing setup away for the winter. It's now a race to see which studio finishes their game first ... Sony with a 1-year head start, or Microsoft right out of the gate. My money is on Forza ...

I am not a betting man, but if I had to pick which game would be the most complete on the day the Motorsport 8 drops, I would have to go with Motorsport 8.

Gee I hope its a cracker of a game. After the rough launch of 7, I actually grew to quite enjoy it on the PC. Much more than I enjoyed GT7. It certainly has inferior physics, but 4k@60, it is still up there graphics wise, and the car list is fantastic. So many cool Aussie cars that I never thought i'd see in a track based sim-ish title. Just like the one in my profile pic.

I also LOVED the rivals part of the game. Seeing just how far up the ladder you could push C and B class cars from all around the world on any track in the game. It was great fun. Even the hoppers - while chaotic - could still bring a great night of racing and laughs.

PD had 4 Aussie cars in GT4, and they removed two of them in GT5. So good.

Yeah, i forgot Forza 7 had some rough times. But they have had 6 years to hone their craft.

The Horizon games, while not my cup of tea, are extremely well polished with almost too much content. Stable multiplayer. A working auction house.

Oh, and the roulette tickets (Wheel Spins) are NOT rigged and fairly generous

 

[Artremis]

We don't know if these events are truly going to be stuck in a datamine forever. Besides, the payouts seem strangely low, even within the context of GT7. More specifically, I'm looking at that GT500 event at Autopolis, which doesn't even pay 100k credits.

If I had to guess, these are probably from before the payout increase happened. Seems in line with those.

 

[Monkdapunk]

Right, and then get paid **** all. No thanks.

You forgot to quote my eye roll. 😆

 

[Raf997]

I guess a good chunk of the cut content will be reintroduced in future updates as we already seen in some cases

Oh boy that went old badly xD

Ops, yeah it was necroposting since I posted an year later. Regardless, there is still a concrete possibility since one part of the cut content that was initially planned to be on launch made it in the game with later monthly updates (see car selling, 360 degree camera, ultimate tuning shop, the Human Comedy endurance races etc.) so I'm confident that more planned cut content will be arriving soon. Nothing strange with it since PD was supposed to do the same thing with GT5, GT6 and GT Sport! That's the purpose of the post-launch support after all, finish what was not finished in time due to the rushed launch. I'm not gullible because I know how PD and other game companies work.

Yeah i still hope we will see all of those cut events in the game eventually. On the other hand. Those were supposed to be nearly completed a year ago. Why PD didn’t add them to the game is strange, especially that those events are using already existing cars.

it could be that some of it was held back or just delayed for later updates. It may definitely arrive in the future, maybe they are trying to preserve content and distribute those through the months during the post launch support phase in order to create the right balance flow of content among the years the game is supposed to be supported? Anything is possible. My conclusion is that they are releasing those slowly and gradually in order to gather the right balance between each update, because there wouldn't be too much content to release in the first place if they released everything after less than a year from launch since they wouldn't have too much planned as an excuse for such a long post-launch support phase. Sure, there may still be some aftertought stuff as Sophy, B-Spec, VR2 etc. but it wouldn't be enough to justify monthly updates and releasing content cut or delayed during development is more worthy for them financially instead of building new content from the ground up. That's my logic, but I could be wrong. Makes sense considering how rushed the game was at D1.

 

[Nenkai]

Literally every GT has cut events. I'd like to remind that these are present on the 1.00 version of the game - which is earlier than the version that ships on the disc even.
As for why they are it's only up to speculation.

This shouldn't be weaponized against them. It's a normal process of game development.

I agree. Well, finger crossed for them coming back at some point!
