What would make Gran Turismo 7 a guaranteed purchase for you?

R.I.P. Jenkins the standard cat...

Jenkins is a Premium cat.

 

[Smurfybug]

Jenkins is a Premium cat.

Yes, Yes he is

 

[Johnnypenso]

As big of a GT Fancat as he is, even Jenkins wouldn't call himself a PS4 grade premium cat.

 

[CarreraGT]

Improved AI and sound, simple as that. But let's face it, I'm going to buy it regardless

 

[FS7]

Would you rather have Standard cats?

Standard cats will probably look really bad when they get run over since standards have blacked out interiors, but that's only online since GT6 doesn't have damage offline.

Okay.........I'm not sure if this is a joke or I'm supposed to fix this and improve your knowledge....

Take it easy, it's just a joke.

 

[Smurfybug]

Lol

 

[MCFerocious]

Yup totally agree m8, graphics and beautiful colour are the most important thing for me too.

I would also love to see Porsche and the F1 cars back too.

A lot of people reading this thread are going to buy it, regardless. And the best part is, they know it =)

Yes, I am one of these people.

Please help me understand why there are objections to having standard cars? Hundreds of GTP'ers state this but not one has convinced me over the last 3 years that STD Cars are a bad thing. Maybe we should start a poll:

PROPOSED POLL QUESTION: For those that object to GTS or GT7 having Std Cars, what is your reason?:

1) I am offended that PD is going to sell a game that includes assets they created 10 years ago and that I already paid for 10 years ago.
2) PD needs to focus their resources on other areas of GT7 that have been lacking in prior releases, so spending any amount of resources to add STD. Cars will lower the overall content quality of other parts of GT7.
3) I like to race using in-cockpit view mode so a black, lifeless silhouette dilutes the immersive experience for me.
4) It will make the UI more complicated for me and I don't want to spend the extra time needed to navigate around all those crappy STD. cars.
5) They will take up space in my garage for the cars I personally want.
6) I don't have a good reason, I just don't want them.
7) Other

Would detractors accept STD. cars if there was a "one click" option so you could completely hide them and their availability in your personal game? Or is their objection more complicated than that?

.

Yes I think that would do it for me, Truth be told although GT has lots of cars most of them are so similar as to make them a completely pointless purchase, collecting for the sake of collecting. I would rather have less but premium cars, I think Gran Turismo is the only modern game to have them anyway.

I think the time for standard cars has gone, just like the end of scrolling 2d games went out with the PS1

 

[HuskyGT]

-All cars with the right sound
-Sounds equal to Forza and PCars
-No douplicate cars
-No standards
-At least 500 cars
-Career inspired in old GT's
-No stupid restrictions when it comes to credits, prizes and car prices
-Customization in par wirh Forza 6
-No GT Academy
-No VGT
-As some mentioned, no useless gimmicks
-No BS outside projects and colaborations
-All M3 and M5 gens
-Course maker on day one
-No microtransactions
-Porsche
-No empty promises
-Montly solid DLC

This is the only way I'll ever consider playing another GT. PD lost a 15 year fan to Forza 6.

 

[NivekRJ]

-No GT Academy

I get all the others, but not this one. What's bad about GT Academy?

 

[Samus]

I get all the others, but not this one. What's bad about GT Academy?

Well unless you're one of the top ~200 drivers in the world with a chance of winning it's a complete waste of time, they're just bog standard seasonal events to the rest of us.

 

[NivekRJ]

Well unless you're one of the top ~200 drivers in the world with a chance of winning it's a complete waste of time, they're just bog standard seasonal events to the rest of us.

I get that, but it's still optional content. Don't like it? Don't participate. It's that simple.

 

[Samus]

I get that, but it's still optional content. Don't like it? Don't participate. It's that simple.

Well of course but it is time PD could spend on something else, I guess.

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Well unless you're one of the top ~200 drivers in the world with a chance of winning it's a complete waste of time, they're just bog standard seasonal events to the rest of us.

Not necessarily, for me the fact that GTAcademy is a big annual organised event that anybody can enter and go for gives you a better sense of competition than seasonal events - even if I struggle to break top 20,000 let alone top 200! That's just me of course, it'll be different for everyone - but I don't think special competitions like GT Academy necessarily lose all meaning if you're not someone who has a chance of winning.

Having said that, I hope the manufacturer/nation competitions in GT Sport offer a bit more for everyone than GT Academy did - something like FIFA has for example (ie. where in normal online races you can earn points for your nation/manufacturer which are totted up over the course of a season) would be nice.

 

[NivekRJ]

Well of course but it is time PD could spend on something else, I guess.

If GT Academy is keeping, say, new cars or tracks from coming to the game, then I agree. I don't suspect that's the case, though.

Also, sorry if my other post sounded hostile. It wasn't meant to.

Physics:
A blend of GT3's 'casual' physics and GT4's realistic physics.

GT4's physics, in many ways, were a step back from GT3's, to say nothing of the PS3 games physics engines.

I mean, given the title of this thread, you're welcome to hope for that, but PD would be performing market suicide to launch a game in 2016 that cribs off the inferior physics engines of games they made 12 and 15 years ago.

 

[NivekRJ]

For me, it's: Sounds, A.I, and a better single-player career mode. I'm really interested to hear what they've done with AES, assuming they're still using that. Regardless, sounds have to be much better than in GT6. I also really want a full color and livery editor that's, if nothing else, at least on par with Forza.

It would be nice if they brought in practice and qualifying. There's really no reason not to have those. They also need to fix the clutch and h-pattern shifter problems. This includes the ability to recognize clutchless upshifts, such as used in NASCAR, for example.

Will I be disappointed if these things aren't addressed? Yeah. Will I still buy GTS? Guilty.

 

[HuskyGT]

I get all the others, but not this one. What's bad about GT Academy?

I always thought it takes away PD's attention from the game. That's all.

 

[NivekRJ]

That's fair. Not sure if I agree, but I could see why anyone would think that. My problem is, I can't think of anything that would take its place.

 

[Dotini]

Yes, better single-player career mode would guarantee it for me.

 

[adstomko]

In my opinion, GT needs to be more of a simulation. Assetto Corsa is better in this department, so they must improve. Another thing is more stable servers for online racing, which judging by the trailer, appears to be considered by PD. I'm really looking forward to it. I've always wanted competitive online racing games on consoles because the PC market (iRacing) is just far too expensive for myself. From what I have heard about Assetto Corsa, it is almost on par with iRacing in terms of simulation, so it can be done. Racing games are the closest thing to its reality, therefore this should be the route PD should focus on. Not arcade.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I wouldn't have a problem with that.


Gran Turismo Sport has one other thing going for it that pretty much demands a cross-platform approach: eSports, sanctioned by the governing body of world motorsport as a World Championship. I cannot think of a single sports-themed title with eSports recognised in such a way. For Gran Turismo Sport to be released on a single platform would be akin to the FIA saying that only European drivers can win the Formula 1 World Championship.

It would be akin to absolutely no such thing PM. The hardware to compete in a Gran Turismo Sport event is called a PS4. The hardware F1 requires is an F1 car. Wanting to access Gran Turismo Sport on a different system is like wanting to enter an Indycar in F1.

 

[syntex123]

I think PD needs to look back on its first release. The first Gran Turismo is the game most of us fell in love with. Its simplicity. It's beautiful graphics (You can't deny GT1 was amazing back in the day) and awesome gameplay. Sure, the AI stuck to their route like a train on tracks but they were at least more challenging than they are now in GT6. The GT Mode. Ahh, the GT Mode. How I loved you. The cups and championships was a new take on the racing genre. They were well thought through, and they made sense. The more races you did the longer they lasted. And the racing modifications that was available for all the cars. I loved that. My Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo was a beast. Anyway. PD, look back to your early days, when the game was one of a kind. The game was thrilling and exciting. I smiled and laughed and had fun. In GT6, I honestly sighed a few times when I noticed a few bad things. Poor standards that really need semi premium at the very least. The 24 minutes of Nurburgring. Ridiculous. But I still loved it. But I didn't feel the same feeling like in the early days of GT. Look back on all of the releases.

Pick 5 things about each game that you love. Smack that and only that into GT Sport. Bam. Best game again. That is what I want.

What would make GT7 a guaranteed purchase for me? These tracks, in HD:
Smokey Mountain North & South
Red Rock Valley Speedway (As the environment was similar to Smokey Mountain, perhaps 'Smokey Mountain Speedway'?)
Super Speedway (GT2 and GT3 versions, both included)
The Tahiti tracks (Dirt Route 3, Maze could be Dirt Route 1, and...)
Green Forest Roadway (... could be Dirt Route 2, with new scenery)
Special Stage Route 11 (Both versions)
Motor Sports Land
(Possibly) The Secret Track from GT2, good for drifting...
Pikes Peak
Rome Circuit (The good one, not the lifeless square we have now)
And the list goes on...

Cars:
I'm not really bothered by cars, but I would like:
More Rally Cars
More race cars
The Gran Turismo LM race cars from GT1, 2, 3
More Formula One cars
More custom Gran Turismo concepts, like the RedBull X concepts

Menu:
HD replica of GT3's

Soundtrack:
GT3's soundtrack

Intro:
Remake of the PAL GT1 and GT3 intros, maybe both available, played at random when starting the game...

Physics:
A blend of GT3's 'casual' physics and GT4's realistic physics.

Loading Speed:
Loading times are a problem, I'd like a GTA style loading screen, pre-loading all the scenery and menus, with scrolling cool images (EX: car on Grand Valley's bridge, neck-and-neck cars approaching the finish line,...)

Overall:
Gran Turismo 3 in HD with some more content...

- Doomotron

A MODERNIZED GRAN TURISMO 3! That would be a dream come true at its finest. I totally approve of everything said here!

 

[Bigbazz]

Guarenteed sale for me? Hmm I'd need to buy a PS4 and a new wheel so it'd have to be incredible

1. No more standard cars - A cockpit + dashboard cam would be nice for all. Quality over quantity
2. Tracks, the ones we have currently + more but not at the expense of quality.
3. Vastly improved sounds.. See Codemasters Dirt Rally, it can be done.
4. It's 2016 now, time to give that tired old career mode some fresh ideas after near 20 years.
5. Forza has been doing aesthetic customisation for years, time to make a big step forward.
6. Upgrading your car could use some fresh ideas and more customisation too, engine swaps could be fun.
7. Time to improve the physics, allow tyre pressures and other car setup options. Needs to take big steps forward.
8. No more empty promises, announcing features of the game that won't exist for months or years after launch.


I mean the game just needs fresh ideas, it needs to be a bigger sandbox than it was before and while they made strides in GT5 they ended up going quite a bit backwards in GT6 for a long while as the game was so undercooked when it first launched it was embaressing.

While Forza are churning out quality titles every 5minutes PD are seemingly fluffing about basking in the glory of a game from previous console generations that is no longer as relevant as it once was. GT6 was pretty much a flop, a repackaging of GT5 with some new content and tweaks that was forced out because Sony are tired of waiting decades for PD to get some work done.

Problem with PD is they take so long developing stuff that generations/eras of gaming are literally passing them by... This wasn't intended as a rant but I guess that's what happens when I think about a future GT game, I half expect them to release some half assed "transition" game while we see the first true PS4 generation Gran Turismo come at the end of this console generation, and it still won't be finished.


Edit : As for music and UI - I really these elements in GT5/6.. GT5 music selection was spot on I thought.

 

[GETEDA]

Its a posibility, they can upgrade std cars to premiums in some future updates.. (GTSeven)

 

[Tired Tyres]

At six months per car, and what, 800 or so cars. Not anytime soon.

I'm not really looking forward to the beta. Gran Turismo is the only reason I've bought each console up to now. That stopped as of the PS4 after the complete mess that was GT6. I really hope they deliver but with Assetto Corsa out this year I just don't think they will. I hope I'm wrong.
