Gran Turismo 7 “Power Pack” Paid DLC Now Available: New Races Including Endurance Events, Qualifying, and “Sophy 3.0”

[Qronicle]

So I'm assuming these are all separate events, no real championships?

 

[crooky369]

£24.99. I'm in at that price.

Looks like it is indeed £24.99 in the UK.

France was 29.99 Euros when I looked.

Don't know why they've said "event car" singular when it looks like there's multiple to choose from in each event, and you choose a more difficult one to get better rewards.

This is a deep cut, but for those who've played Riding Spirits II, it's like the boss battles in that game where you can choose a worse bike but you got more stuff for doing so.

I don't mind the not being able to use garage cars in power pack thing, as long as there is a decent selection to choose from. Like in the Group C event(s), if it doesn't let you choose from all of them, that would be a little disappointing.

Not sure about being able to select all of them but like mentioned in the first quoted post there is a selection of different cars with regards to difficulty.

…
Special reward cars

I am surprised that there are actual cars for your garage exclusive to the Power Pack. There is indeed 6 of them.

 

[OverTheTop983]

Good price € 29.99
For me everything is fantastic and I can't wait to install it tomorrow

 

[Gingerale]

My hope is 20 euros, my expecation is 30 euros.

Well gonna buy it anyway. Still hyped.

 

[The Crock]

Where are the people who said this was going to be 50 bucks?

Anyway, I'm hyped. Hopefully some of those races have more than 3 pre-selected cars to choose from. Neat little touch with the entry fees, too.

 

[Nakano219]

Interesting that they've got Sophy working on dirt, by the way.

If that works well it means they've got a very good handle on making things scalable across unique cars/tracks. Good omen for the future, I think.

 

[Talon16]

Definitely some things I wish were a bit different (like using garage cars), but I'll be buying it tomorrow. It'll be well worth the $30 in entertainment for sure.

 

[Larzi-]

So they pumped up the price after seeing this poll... just kidding


There is entry fee for races btw.

+ you earn credits

(There is 110 abd 120% bonus for selected car)

It feels a little bit like first implementation of Sophy with VR support. Those where we got different difficulty based on selected cars

Maybe Sophy 3.0 is this uncaged one from early days.

 

[jonoholland29]

Very decent price. I’m sold 👍🏻

 

[PaMu1337]

+ you earn credits

(There is 110 abd 120% bonus for selected car)

The prize money is 110% and 120%, making it only a 10% and 20% bonus.

 

[MMX]

Well that $25 PS store card I got won't be enough.

For $30 I'll wait and see what the deal is.

Not going to pay for DLC, that's just going to embarrass my lack of driving skill. LOL

 

[MisterWaffles]

I was right about there being no garage cars, so take that, poop emoji people.

Kinda sucks for those who want to use their favourite Gr.3 tune that’s all dialled in, but I think having a few preselected cars for each event adds to the replayability. Trying to gold every race with each car would add probably a third run’s worth of playtime to the DLC.

It would be nice if a free play option opened up after golding all the events or something, but all of them can probably be remade in Sophy custom races sans qualifying, so not that big of a deal.

 

[Fezzik]

One other thing to note, before silly people (like me) go looking for the DLC on the PS Store

After completing Menu Book No. 9, "Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade," a sailing boat icon will appear on the lower left of the World Map. Select this Pavilion to access the Power Pack purchase screen.

I like it, my favourite part of every GT game is Licenses/Missions/Special Events that put you in a pre-determined car and task you with reaching a goal. Also why I like the weekly time trials in GT7.

 

[Fezzik]

Once the race starts, there are no do-overs and no second chances. This is pure racing, where every decision carries weight all the way to the checkered flag.

Is this their hardcore/authentic mode like PMR?

 

[TheNormsk]

I’m sold. Now roll on tomorrow.

So it looks like the races with Sophie 3.0 has lost the stupid emoticons over the Sophie cars. For me that’s a big win. I don’t race against Sophie because I can’t stand the emoticons at the moment. If they’re really gone, I’ll be happy.

 

[Fruitcake]

Pretty lame you can't use your own cars and liveries 🙄🙄

 

[Reeneman]

It’s a nice surprise. Really thought about a higher price given the 5 mio ingame credits. But 30€ is totally fair in my opinion for the given content and even more happy to support this tomorrow.

While there isn’t much hope I still would love to see these improvements:

• VR racing info additions
• PSSR for VR mode to optimise visuals
• PSSR improvements for flat mode

 

[F4H Super GT]

I think the price is fair. Looking forward to giving this a go!

Does "true racing experience" mean they switch the boost to "off"?
I am trully worried about this but at the same time it would be pretty funny if it ruined the concept of the DLC.
I sure will wait how it turns out.

You don't know yet how Sophy 3.0 works. So why speculate about a boost that only did specific things to Sophy 2.0?

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Does this mean that the already-existing Sophy compatible courses in custom race will get the upgrade to 3.0 as well?

 

[juanffy18]

30 USD like Cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty or an indie game.

I feel this DLC something like Gran Turismo Concept or Prologue.

Not to stir things up, but at the end of the trailer, the footage at Daytona shows all group 3 cars together, and the leader well ahead .. that's very similar to the current Sophy behavior we have.

 

[GTboyz]

Read through the DLC page, I don't think this is for me so I guess I'll wait for sale if I want too.

 

[Scaff]

£25 is a better price than I had guessed at, still not getting it as ACE 0.4 is out on the same day, and RRE has new DLC heading out soon.
