Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[PSN offapple]

I'm actually off of the hype train, at least as far as tomorrow is concerned.

My expectations are firmly at "we learn the identities a couple more cars that are coming, maybe we get the October trailer, but nothing else that hasn't already been announced".

Maybe they'll show off a preview of "the next evolution of Gran Turismo Sophy" in action, which is a part of the December half of Spec IV. Or at least they might explain more about what the changes made to it are.

News that it was getting an update was only found on the GT website, and not mentioned nor seen in the State of Play video, which is perhaps a bit strange as every other listed feature had some screen time.
It's also been a long time since we've had any update to Sophy A.I. in the form of new compatible tracks or anything else. There's even been a significant physics change since, which its current version seems to struggle with in certain cars.

Yet I still believe that it got nerfed a bit too much. I think the initial rollout (the four races that were available for a limited time) was the best in terms of pace. I had some of the best races at Suzuka ever (including online racing). Most of the times I can beat power pack races without doing qualifying.

Eh, I think that nerfing was inevitable. The only way PD could make Sophy take something like a Unimog around Northern Isle with the optimum line in the same way as the Sophy demo would be if they got to pull a SpaceX and siphon money out of pension funds and "AI-pilled" asshats.

I don't think we'll see any more of it either.
Maybe a demo of the new "Shuffle Race" mode and "Experience" mode featuring a new car at the event. The new opening cinematic might be revealed too, but this is not the kind of thing that get my hype.

I would indeed like them to fix Sophy's inability to drive properly on circuits where everything used to go well. Likewise, I would appreciate if in the future, this type of issues were patched quickly instead of waiting for the next update to drop (if they've patched it...).

These GTWS events have historically become a test/display for Sophy the past few years too.. So even if they don't announce a change to the current Sophy they might showcase a new version with the competitors

Players (like me) just want these cars to drive, race, and enjoy; it has nothing to do with how serious they are about simracing. We're not just talking about the latest racecars here; we're talking current supercars and hypercars as well

And I recognize that, but I'm not referring to you exactly or players like you. I'm talking about a certain subset of players.

One day remaining! @Jordan

I just wish the hype train wasn't leaving the station at 5:00am.
