Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[suomi1]

I feel like they have essentially made the same game they made 20 years ago. As far as single player goes. Slightly different but pretty much the same concept.

I really don't get that impression when I play this game.

The real difference between GT7 and all the previous numbered entries is that you could start a new game and have a completely different experience each time. Here, none of that is possible, everything is locked down and strictly on rails. Buy these specific cars, then those ones, repeat, etc.

And that’s not to mention the fact that starting a new game requires creating a new account (since it is impossible to delete your save file due to the mandatory online connection); a task that is a far cry from simply adding a user on the old PS3, for example. Besides, I really wonder how we’ll be able to add new users to our current consoles once they’ve been disconnected from the servers...

In my opinion… it has always stuck to the exact same core loop: start with a cheap used 💩 box, pass frustrating license tests, win races, buy a faster car, and repeat.

GT7 holds your hand through it, the other ones didn’t. But it’s essentially the exact same in my opinion. It never felt like some kind of career mode. GT Legends was great, you earned the cars, you had to choose carefully for specific championships. You had practice and qualify and then race.

Gran Turismo could do away with chase the rabbit etc. I get that the older ones were more open ended but it’s literally the same game, like I said GT7 just forces you a specific way which they shouldn’t have done. But I’d gladly take single player like GT legends over the randomness of gran Turismo.

At least now in GT7 we’re actually getting better sounds and physics. Finally in the year GT7 released, the cobra sound is at least on par with Gt Legends.

I don’t think we’ll agree on this anyway. I’m stubborn too and I believe they’ve pretty much just updated graphics and sounds each release and tweaked some stuff here and there adding in new features.

Super Woden GP 3 might offer something akin to a fusion of Auto Modellista and Gran Turismo.

Especially as the dev is including GT tribute tracks

Singapore GTWS details are up.

They're using Sugo for the Nations Cup sprint race, so we'll get to see it in use before it releases.

Viewers Campaign stealth model prizes are the GTE Ford GT and the Super Formula, so the GT4 black car -> R390 theory is dead.

Fitting that they're using Super Formulas for that Sugo race since this year's Super Formula season had Igor Fraga finishing P3 in the Sugo round.

Yep, no Nissan R92CP as the theory would've suggested.

Also the track seems to be going by a slightly different name for the live event compared to the Spec IV info page: "SUGO International Racing Course," rather than "Sportsland SUGO."

It's following the same naming convention as the "Autopolis International Racing Course" back on GT Sport, though in GT7 that was shortened to just "Autopolis" so I presume "Sportsland SUGO" may still be the in-game name on the World Circuits map.

On a slight tangent, Super GT are having their race at Sportsland SUGO this weekend (20th September), so that's pretty neat.
