The Things That Annoy You

Are they though? I definitely appreciate getting to the race lobby in a few seconds but generally going in and out of menus still feels sluggish to me, compared to other titles on PS5 I'm not really impressed with GT7 speed when navigating through. And that wait time for a new livery to be applied is ridiculous..

Maybe I've been a little spoiled and forgotten the PS4 load times but as a gamer since C64 I feel like I can recognise the differences.

Doesn't feel all that zippy to me.
You're right, what I meant was faster loading time compared to the PS4, but yeah, still sluggich compared to other AAA PS5 games like Spiderman (MM), Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank, to name but a few.

Le Mans 30 min. PP7pp for example.
It rains, I pit for wets. The pot crew animation (the most hilarious thing in the game) shows them fitting slicks. X laps later the rain stops, I pit for slicks and they are shown fitting Wets, whhhyyy?
No wonder the AI are so flaky😂
I suspect either the game engine is simply unable to display different types of tires during the pit stop animation or PD has lost their attention for detail and just doesn't care anymore. Pick your poison.
Still not happy with CRB. No notice of when or how you lost it. Very inconsistent rules between tracks.
Agreed, a small indicator to see if CRB still applies would be helpful.
Think "Silent Assassin marker" from Hitman.

I know 4 has been replaced by 2 or 1 some weeks, but am I right in saying 3 has been there every single week since launch?
I could understand the ubiquity of Group 3 & 4 in GT Sport because they are #racecars (at GT7 would put it).

I truly believe that 'going back to the roots of Gran Turismo' should include plenty of road car and 'weird car' online events.

My overwhelming feeling is there isn't the same appetite within the eSports community though.
 
The AI!!!

Did 4x 1hr Race's on LeMans Today...

-First Race Hard AI (i drove as fast as i could) Finished 6 Seconds ahead of 2nd.
-Second Race Hard AI (i slowed down to lose about 5 seconds every lap) Finished 6 seconds ahead of 2nd.
-Third Race Normal AI (driving casual so between as fast as i could and slowing down) Finished 6 seconds ahead of 2nd.
-Fourth Race Easy AI i lapped the 2nd place after 40 minutes...

I hope they add an option to disable Rubberbanding for Custom Endurance Races...
 
Please stop downgrading the ps5 version only to suit ps4 for online mode.
The sidemirrow reflection looks now like ps3 graphics. Color of the suit is not shimering on te rolecache anymore. Still no 60fps reflection in cockpitview. That game dosnt improve one step on ps5 in terms of graphics and fidelity.
And Gt becomes more and more Arcady. Every update makes it easyer to drive.

Ps: it seems the sidemirrow thing vary from car to car. Worst on the new nissan gt3. On sf19 it looks normal.

The biggest letdown of GT7 is that it is a Cross-Gen game!!!
They can't use all the Power from the PS5 to have a better game/experience.
They should never have released this game as a Cross-Gen...so dissapointing!
Which problems with the game are specifically down to power? Would more power allow them to create more career events, or remove the wheel of misfortune?

The problem is, they have to fix to much stuff to get both consols in one space. Ps5 only in focus means less fixes and adding the stuff we want or even being on release in the game. Better and more detailed graphics no pop in, no level of detail zone arround the car etc etc etc.

Believe it or not this is classic console game dev technique. Game releases with fine graphics, then they downgrade it for performance reasons as the codebase grows with each update, finally if they have enough cash to go around... it eventually gets updated to almost launch quality graphics, though its never the same again.

Fun fact: Special Review-only copys of games that exist before the game's official release often look much better or are more fun in some aspects. As such was the case with Burnout 2 where also the crash physics were so much more dynamic and yeetable. There are actual videos of this too so you can see the differences between review copies of games vs final product release.

Not really, that happens between 1st trailer like they show how they wanna achive it, then they released it and its not like the trailer and after release the game improves.

Exept for replays the game had no performance issues on ps5. Gt7 is the first titel from a tripple A sony exclusive that get wors insted of improve after release in terms of fidelety and graphics.

Managed to acquire all 446 cars the other day but wasn't rewarded in any way for acquiring 442 (pre-update) or 446/446.

You would think PD would reward you with at least some unique decals, credits or a unique car but nothing. Not even a congratulatory message.
 
Roulettes. It really should not be a stretch to imagine the thought of simply buying an LS engine, or a 13B, or a 2JZ, or any other engine. But no, I need to drive 27 miles every 24 hours to be given a ticket that has something like a 1/4 chance of being the right type of ticket to win an engine from, and then that ticket has something closer to a 1/100 chance of actually giving me an engine.

Realism.
 
More cars I don’t want and can’t afford. Can’t find a single player race I want to do. No chance at getting an engine to swap.


I got on the game look at races on tracks decide thats not what I want to do and leave.


GT7 getting me in shape cause a treadmill is more fun.
 
One thing I keep forgetting to say is in the livery editor when a decal has a©️ or ™️ on it, it throws off the mirror image or doesn’t look central when applied to the bonnet!

Well, that’s disgusting for a game that calls itself “The Real Collecting Simulator”
 
I wish they would it more visible or easier to change oil!
Im sick of having to check pre race by going to the auto shop to check the oil.
They need to include an option in the car tuning page that shows oil level and an option to change it too
Kinda surprised an oil level/condition wasn't added to the tire shop at the track...
Now that I do multiple 15 minute endurance races, I hate backing out after 2-3 to see if the oil is down to normal.
Wouldn't mind a colored dot above the car pic at top of the screen (next to credits) matching the condition of oil 🤷‍♂️

I hope the Sophy update comes soon...
Having a bit better AI racing using cars from my garage with my hard tire setup and detuning the car I race ~50pp or 25-50 bhp depending on the car class. (see clip below)



I mainly do 15 minute sprints and depending on pitting, I see less of the rubberbanding (with boost off)... short pitting seams to confuse the AI though where they're caught in this wait for me/overspeed my fastest lap by 1-2 seconds.
 
Something that annoyed me some days ago. I beated human comedy maggiore with hyundai gr3 months ago. A few days ago I heard mazda rx vision gr3 has buffed and was now one of the metas for that race. So I tried it.
On lap 10 i'm in 2nd with rubilar right behind me.
I pit and rubilar pits right behind me. I have 35/100 in fuel and rubilar has 25/100 in fuel. I fully filled up as well as rubilar. But rubilar manages to leave the pit in front of me.
Basicly rubilar pits after me and manages to change tyres and go from 25 to 100 fuel faster than me changing tyres and going from 35 to 100, leaving the pit in front of me.
Am I missing something or was this plain AI cheating?
I managed to win the race in end, but still this was annoying.

The decision to ge full native 4k/60fps was a huge mistake IMO, the graphics engine appears to be at its very limit as is.
Which is also why I don't expect any city circuits to be added to the game, those would look downright ugly and the detail/shadow popping would be even more obvious.

Just compare the graphics of e.g. Horizon Forbidden West or the Spiderman games to GT7, it's hard to believe they're on the same console.

Adding a performance/fidelity option for the graphics like almost every other PS5 game has would go a long way, but I don't think it's even possible without a complete overhaul of the game engine.
or was this plain AI cheating?
Yes.
