It might influence some people that are on the fence just getting into racing. I ain’t going to buy an Xbox to play forza but if I didn’t have either system, I’d be going for whichever one looked the most enticing.

If all we get is one more track they really dropped the ball, maybe it’s because I despise the Tokyo tracks but GT7 really feels limited on track to run. Not to mention when a new track gets added it breathes new life into the game for quite some time. New cars, meh, maybe a month. A new track not just a new layout is many months. I still race Road Atlanta and Watkins Glen a lot.

I don't think there'll be any massive shiny thing to distract from Forza. Sony do care about what Microsoft do, but their anti-Forza/Starfield plan is Spider-Man 2, not updates to an 18-month-old game. (As an aside, wow is this next couple of months a good time for game releases!)

In terms of an actual attempt at a prediction based on (flimsy) logic, I'll go with:

• 1 car that is a 2019 model year or later: We get at least one of these modern cars in 90% of updates. I also think this'll be a race car this time around just because there's been a recent drought there, so let's say the McLaren 720S GT3.
• 1 car from the most recent datamine: I don't like using these, but the last one that was posted from the April update was actually quite predictive, having the Maverick, R32 Nismo, Giulia GTV, Impreza, Evo 3, and C1 in it. Going with the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle.
• Something totally unexpected and random that's more suited to lobbies than Sport Mode: I haven't picked a Japanese car yet, and most updates have a Japanese car in them. Won't be Toyota again I don't think, so I'll go with the fun Subaru 360.

Yeah, in the line of what @hawkeyez said... There's a lot of people still playing on PS4 (me😅) or other systems (or none) that may jump into Forza or whatever is more hyped/less hated/better reviewed/sanctioned by the FIA/whatnot. Also GT is one of PS banners (as can be seen lately promoting VR2) which is ultimately an important Sony branch and they care about their image.

As big as Spider-Man 2 will be, it's still not for everyone. Most gamers will also want to play a number of different genres.

Out of interest I checked the Amazon PS5 Best Sellers.


UK #11 (2nd best selling 1st Party title behind Spider-Man 2)

Germany #7 (2nd best selling 1st Party title behind Spider-Man 2)

France #4 (2nd best selling 1st Party title behind Spider-Man 2)

US #5 (2nd best selling 1st Party title behind Spider-Man 2)


That could be, in part, a boost from the movie. But GT7 has been in and around the top 20 since launch.

Either way, I think it'd be remiss of Sony not to continue with substantial GT7 support. They would do very well with a Spec II re-release in their budget range (I think there's a PS5 budget range? Or at least should be one soon).

Oh, I agree, and I don't doubt Sony will continue to support GT for a while yet.

My point is more that, in the next two months, Baldur's Gate 3, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, Super Mario Wonder, Sonic Superstars, and Assassin's Creed Mirage all come out, plus a bunch of the sports titles are releasing their next installment. I frankly even think Forza's new game release might struggle for oxygen in that crowded room of AAA titles, so I personally don't think timing a big overhaul update in there will get much traction either.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

The Yelowbird was on the leaked list.

That's worth noting I suppose. But then again so are several Lotus models - a brand that isn't even in the game. And sadly, the longer the game exists, the less that list seems to matter and it accuracy seems to have gotten worse and worse.

Himedic and Corolla purchasable at Brand Central.

 

[Nakano219]

Just thought of a possible wildcard: What's the spec car that Super Formula Lights uses? We got Fraga's SUPER GT GT300 Lexus a couple of updates ago, and GT/Fanatec are sponsoring him in SF Lights too, so I don't think that's an impossible car to end up with in his livery.

Car being used is the Dallara 320 (Same car being used in Euroformula Open).

 

[hawkeyez]

Here’s one I’m thinking might come to fruition. Autumn Ring and Autumn Ring Mini, just in time for fall. I’d be ok with that, Autumn Ring Mini was awesome for Karts. They just need to move that timer up and out of the way when in cockpit view for karts.

 

[SM_Marti]

Decided to review a little bit my prediction
updated Suzuka
New Track Layout (I pick Northern Isle Rally Layout)
Various events
3 New Cars: 190E, Nissan R31 (or GR Yaris Rally2 Concept ), Ligier JS PX Movie Car
New Features: add an option for changing liveries and the setup to the rival cars when doing Custom Races,
add an option for lobbies to choose specific race categories (in the specific: add Multiclass)
Better payouts for custom races and more

 

[Nakano219]

Thanks.

That'd fill a gap in the car lineup too if they put it in, the open wheelers jump straight from karts to full fat SF/F1 cars, so a lower-power open wheeler in the middle would be a nice upgrade to the roster.

The X2014 Jr. fills the middle gap for now... sort of.

Ah, good point. I did think of that, but I had the standard car pictured in my head and forgot the Junior doesn't have the canopy.

I know the 500E is a special and limited too, but half a million is way over the top, i think even 100.000 credits is a lot (depending on miles of course).

 

[callix]

A new BRZ gr3 car if the gt worldseries overview is anything to go by

What specifically makes you think its a Subaru BRZ GR.3 car?

You know that's already in the game, right?

Why you all always want so much road cars...

Not in that colour scheme

 

[hawkeyez]

I prefer them most of the time to the group 3 cars and ones like that. Those are fairly boring to drive. Older road cars and race cars shine on this game.

 

[Nebuc72]

You're gonna have your mind blown when you learn about liveries...

 

[Mateusz90]

I agree. But newer road cars are also boring. I'd love to see more race cars from different eras. Recently I'm obsessed with Le Mans cars of any sort.

 

[RACECAR]

Its just the same car with a livery specific for that series.

 

[hawkeyez]

Oh yeah that corvette time trial, man that thing is boring to drive. I don’t like how it handles either.

Becouse thats mostly what gran turismo has been about
