They can just make it PS4 no Sophy and PS5 with Sophy, that is just plain logic.
And have no content? Just credits?

Polyphony right now reading this:They can just make it PS4 no Sophy and PS5 with Sophy, that is just plain logic.
I agree current AI lacks the I but still I have challenging races on hard mode. Just should have given the PS4 gamers this opportunity too. I accept of course PS4 potential is nowhere near PS5 so I don't expect miracles yet I expect the same basic treatment because I still payed full market price for GT7 many years later than release date (which was not smart of me looking back, nostalgia is my weakness).Any event can indeed be added using regular AI. Thus it depends in, how'd you think of the AI in previous GT? (in case it's given on PS4 with regular AI) Do you think they're ok or passable or that PD can leave them out as they be? (the AI is one of the longstanding complaints like vacuum cleaner car sounds) Be ok if you have qualifying and grid start thus the races have no challenge at all by just breezing through all the AI?

If you want, you can set up a 24hr Gr.3 race at the Nurburgring N24 or Spa against the regular AI now, on PS4, in Custom Race. You don't need to wait for the Power Pack.They can just make it PS4 no Sophy and PS5 with Sophy, that is just plain logic.

Let us know how it goes.
I get being disappointed that it's not available for PS4, but to call it a despicable and aggressive marketing strategy is just a bit absurd. The effect that this would have on PS5 console sales will be so minimal that it might as well be a rounding error, since the console isn't exactly struggling. As a marketing strategy, it would be about the least effective one that they could come up with.It is common to get ridiculed for sharing unpopular opinions. I got used to that.
FYI, I actually can afford it pretty easily. It's about principals and common sense. About saving your money for real life uses. I would have had no remarks whatsoever if PD just would have included the PS4 gamers in this really lovely expansion pack. That is a really low and despicable action to aggressively market the PS5 console.
Not sure what is so laughable at my opinion but you do you.
Well I am truly disappointed 🤷reason has left the building as soon as betrayal entered the front door. Because let's face it, they always promised it but now they offer it via DLC on PS5 only. That's just poor. And again, a basic feature 26 YEARS AGO on a lesser system.I get being disappointed that it's not available for PS4, but to call it a despicable and aggressive marketing strategy is just a bit absurd.

The reason for it is likely much simpler. This DLC seems to be built around Sophy and, no matter how easy some people claim it would be to just omit Sophy, PD probable disagrees and only wants this version out there. With the PS5 now entering its 6th year, it would be fairly unrealistic for PS4 owners to still expect content specifically tailored to that console. As a gamer, you might not feel the need to move on, but that doesn't mean PD as a studio shouldn't.
14 year old Glen used to leave my PS1 paused while I went to school, then when I went to bed.I would if I could save progress during pit stops, which was a basic feature in GT4 if I remember correctly.
Just put it in B-SPEC mode (you know, basic feature back then too) and save progress during pitstop.
You do not. It was added in GT5.I would if I could save progress during pit stops, which was a basic feature in GT4 if I remember correctly.
Sure. And you could triple speed it too. Except if you used it, you didn't get the points for it...Just put it in B-SPEC mode (you know, basic feature back then too)
and save progress during pitstop.
Again, you are misremembering. You could not save on PS2 and had to do exactly what you say: leave it running the whole time for 24hr (or longer with pauses).No need to let your PS2 powered for 24h (or longer with pauses) straight.
Nothing prevents Cafe from using Sophy (and by extension qualifying and grid start) if it's ready. And Power Pack may still have similar problem in restricting freedom (e.g. pre-selected cars) which was what the Cafe did.Unless it's a testbed for the future integration of Sophy and GT8 from the get-go, and it may also be a preview of what the main campaign will be. As enjoyable as the Cafe Menus have been for me (for the history-design aspect), I don't see PD repeating that.
I don't know if you tolerate or don't like chase the rabbit format, but do you mean challenging for the current AI they have for hard difficulty select? Maybe it's due to the chase the rabbit format but let's see if against those AI, there's no chase the rabbit format, wonder if it'd be still challenging.I agree current AI lacks the I but still I have challenging races on hard mode.

Which is why I have bought an external HDD, actually I bought it to install GT7 because my PS4 only has 500GB, that's probably good enough for let's say 3, maybe 4 games tops?Alert! Alert!

I think the system needs at least 5 GB of free space to run...
Honest question, why are you here?I'll take it as a compliment.
All these fanboys screaming "take my money" to PD just to reinvent an old basic feature behind not only a paywall but als an aggressive marketing strategy is beyond belief.
I have 50+ years of gaming. This dinosaur thinks the problem is you.35yrs of gaming, this dinosaur lives on the very edge of gaming society looking from the darkness with a "what has this gaming world become" shaking head approach on the matter.
Come on, he said end of rant, why would you have to put a new coin ? Plus he may be as passionnate as you.Honest question, why are you here?
Most games struggle to give their players 40 hours of play time. Some can provide hundreds of hours. I've logged over 2500 hours on GT7 alone. And I now that among forum members, I am not alone. So, ya, PD can "take my money" for providing me with 100X the entertainment value of any other game on the market.
And MANY MANY MANY on this forum can attest to the fact that I often have criticism of the game. Nevertheless, the quality of the experience is proven by the passion of the community. You don't share that passion.
I have 50+ years of gaming. This dinosaur thinks the problem is you.
Don't fill your time coming to a forum populated by hardcore fans of this game you don't like, to discuss how you don't like it, and how we're fools for thinking differently.
Maybe you need to find another hobby.
Because I wrote my post before he said end of rant. Not my fault how it gets sorted.Come on, he said end of rant, why would you have to put a new coin ? Plus he may be as passionnate as you.
Indeed it was GT5, still 3 versions earlier than GT7 so... Why abandon this magnificent feature? B-SPEC was another great feature, imagine this spec with the current version. What a lovely spectacle to watch your pilots race your personal tuned and painted cars. No let's just scrap that.You do not. It was added in GT5.
Sure. And you could triple speed it too. Except if you used it, you didn't get the points for it...
Other basic features from GT4 include 4,000 polygon cars. Let's go back to that, shall we?
Again, you are misremembering. You could not save on PS2 and had to do exactly what you say: leave it running the whole time for 24hr (or longer with pauses).
Not only that, you had five AI opponents. And absolutely no weather on tracks. And no day/night cycles either. The three (mandatory for progression) 24hr races were literally six-car, all-day, all-fine weather, pause-when-you're-tired slogs.
Again, if you want the 24hr endurance races coming in the Power Pack but with standard AI on PS4, you literally do have that. You can pause and suspend the game to leave your PS5 in standby - an improvement over PS2.
Let us know how it goes.

Enjoy the expansion nonetheless, don't let my negative attitude get in the way of it by all means. ☺️
Here's today's lesson : never give the impression on a forum that you are open to criticism. lolIt is common to get ridiculed for sharing unpopular opinions. I got used to that.

Not sure what is so laughable at my opinion but you do you.
I don't think repeatable rewards are the biggest deal here, renewable experiences yes. Especially when it comes to endurance racing. If the car you have to use, the weather "scenario", and the opponent cars are set; then whatever the reward is, it will be a pain to do these races again.I'm certainly not expecting this Power Pak to feel like a "Career" mode. I'm guessing it'll feel more like Missions with a bit of structure. And I don't know if 50 events is going to feel like a lot or not. Depends on how many I actually want to do. If they have repeatable rewards or not.
I probably haven't done half the Missions already in the game because they use cars or tracks or weird goals/gameplay I'm not interested in. I've only done up to like the I-B or I-A license maybe because there isn't really a reason for me to do them.
Feels weird to imply everyone else is suckers for wanting/buying the DLC that is just a rehash what the old games have whilst your other point is militantly complaining that it's not avaliable on your console and you can't buy it. Makes it seem like one is the chosen scapegoat for not being able to buy in to the other.Agreed, but my initial argument is that race weekends and career were absolute standard features back then and now one not only must pay for the DLC that features it but also one needs to upgrade one's system which is unprecedented for a basic feature that has been around since before GT4 even? How are people accepting this as a logic thing to do?
This is incomprehensible for me. They literally could have made a career mode / championship structure as a sole compensation for the PS4 gamers - even at a small price - and cater the PS5 gamers with champagne, main course, desserts.
End of rant.

I can make my own Excel files thank you.

The DLC on PS4 sans Sophy would literally be you paying for a new menu to access a bunch of pre-set Custom Races. Sophy is pretty clearly the driving decision behind something like this being able to exist, and with that not existing on PS4 then neither will the DLC.
That said, if you want to spend £20-ish on a bunch of Custom Races then feel free to PayPal it to me and I can send you over some I have made.
Might even make a little Excel spreadsheet for you to get the rest of the experience you'd be missing.
Im pretty sure they will improve the career mode big time for gt8 ,its truly lacking. Im not an online racer my self ,so just doing the same races over and over again to buy myself cars i probably will never use anyway, not for me. Just had a big pause from playing gt7 ,have been back for a few days now and probably will get bored pretty soon again.I would if I could save progress during pit stops, which was a basic feature in GT4 if I remember correctly.
Just put it in B-SPEC mode (you know, basic feature back then too) and save progress during pitstop.
No paywall, no new console, just plain basic. No need to let your PS2 powered for 24h (or longer with pauses) straight.
Also, for career mode, I would need to create my own championship via custom races, updating progress manually on a different form ( a point sheet on a pc or paper) and qualifying would be a random process.
Kills the immersion a bit but sure some people have done this.
There's... so many reasons, as it happens, but both the question and answer are basically meaningless because the fact of it is that the feature isn't in this game - nor in GT6 or Sport. Knowing why won't alter a thing.Why abandon this magnificent feature?
The same thing applies here.B-SPEC was another great feature, imagine this spec with the current version. What a lovely spectacle to watch your pilots race your personal tuned and painted cars. No let's just scrap that.
Sure, but it points to the absurdity of the "[this is how things were] so [this should still be how things are]" argument.We are not discussing the graphic quality of the game, it's impeccable. It's visually an absolute masterpiece. I totally agree. The livery editor is a great enrichment too.
Again, while there there are reasons (and some, this time, directly stated by Yamauchi) for the practice/qualy/race cycle - which had been in since GT1 - being removed for Sport/7 (and for no endurance races since GT5), knowing them changes nothing.We are originally also not arguing about 24h features specifically, but about career mode, race weekends and championship mode. Now being offered as a DLC for PS5 only.
They already are, as I said. Aside from knowing what they are - I used the Gr.3/N24 as an example of an extremely obvious probable one - there's not even need to wait for the Pack to come; you can do them right now.They can just make it PS4 no Sophy and PS5 with Sophy, that is just plain logic.
Eh, tons of people complain on here. As I've said, I'm one of them. I could complain about so much that I don't like in GT7 or ideas for improvements right now lol But I'd like to think they're backed by at least some logic lolHere's today's lesson : never give the impression on a forum that you are open to criticism. lol
For sure. There are so many details we don't know and there is room for exciting potential or disappointment. I love some of the weather based events in the game already as even though rain may happen in a vaguely scripted timeline, the rain itself seems random. I was just doing that Gr.1 Weekly Event and had to repeat it multiple times because the weather would change how hard it hit and be off by like one or two laps etc. If they can make it entirely dynamic/random through the power of the PS5 then that'd be awesome.I don't think repeatable rewards are the biggest deal here, renewable experiences yes. Especially when it comes to endurance racing. If the car you have to use, the weather "scenario", and the opponent cars are set; then whatever the reward is, it will be a pain to do these races again.
@Famine
Interestingly, when we wrote about the Sophy B-Spec demo last year, a lot of people responded that they didn't really care. Someone, I recall, asked on the forum if it was something people actually enjoyed...
