Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[BigSarj]

My daughter went to the store and Saw a C7 vette and sent me pics of it. Told me it looked faster than my 370Z lol.

Sounds like you need to settle that on the race track.

Looks like we're getting another "seasonal" event.

This is minorly making me feel like perhaps an update next week after all?

 

[TokoTurismo]

I don't recall either justifying or talking about what PD did with GT5. That was also stupid.

You may have not recalled it, although it IS an example that should be brought up whenever one talks about car passes being grim.

 

[ScottPuss20]

2,500 super premium cars with plenty of body mods, and endless 5 lap battles at Tsukuba!

I wish.

Just saw this comparison over on Twitter

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I personally think the game looks better with less ‘bloom’

Its different tod, the sun position and angle is not the same. But they could easily adjust the bloom like we can in photomode.

I'm listing up the car price differences between GT6, GT SPORT and GT7, but can someone tell me the undiscounted prices of the 512 BB, Firebird Trams Am and Tuscan?
They can be figured out by doubling their new engine's prices or dividing the new body's prices by 1.2.

512 BB: 350,000 CR
Firebird: 110,000 CR
Tuscan: 95,000 CR

What is it comparing?

Either way, the glare in this game is ridiculous. They need to tone that down a lot.

Supposedly it’s between a low-quality photo mode and in game, but not sure on the details

Thank you so much
Now my list is complete. (I know I should update it soon since the Legend Cars price update may be coming this month, though...)

Found this PP glitch/bug on the G Nose 240Z, 1 point difference on downforce drops the PP from 700ish to 681. Is this new or they haven't fix it?

PP is still bugged to some extent, which is why an engine swapped Suzuki Cappucino can get to under 600pp with lots of power abd sports tires.

A feature that would be great to have in the game available to everyone.

 

[dimassa19]

My humble tribute to Adrian Newey on the occasion of his 200th victory at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix.

It's an honor to have a car designed by him in my favorite game.

[05XR8]

I’d just want that replay view! PD cater too much to Sport Mode with certain features. Really good features.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

Exactly, but unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make into the game at all. It feels like PD doesn't care about giving us these kind of stuff, just like they never bothered to release those special rotating roof camera angles from the live events, never released that minimalistic HUD outside Music Rally... all of them for absolutely no reason. Like our buddy @Roflwaffle named this situation in one of his GT critique videos: pointlessly restrictive, that's typical Polyphony.

In this case it's even worse, because these stuff are not even in the game yet, when they totally could and should, because they're not only clearly ready to be added, but they are also extremely interesting and functional for us average players.

 

[Fili92]

Hi guys, I'm grinding on wtc700 @ Le Mans using the Alfa Gulia Gtam.
Until yesterday I was able to race using medium tires and PP were 699. Yesterday evening I start the game and found that I can only use hard tires, because medium tires took me to 730pp or something similar.
Did PD change anything?

Trueno-Inspired GR86 Leads Toyota's GR Special Editions For 2024 - Jalopnik

Toyota’s GR line is in a pretty solid place right now. The GR86, Corolla and Supra cover a good swath of the reasonably-affordable enthusiast space, so all that’s really left to do is keep the models fresh with the requisite slate of updates and special editions. Toyota treated us to three...

Aaaaaand of course there are weird takes about this news.

 

[PSN offapple]

Good news! (No, it's not the Dacia Sandero...)

The Ford Roadster is back in Hagerty, after previously being glitched and not showing up just like the Suzuki Escudo which was fixed earlier.

Would love for this guy to show me exactly where all those 20-69 Corollas were.

acKshUallyy, there's the 86 grmn, the 86 gt, 86 gt limited, the Aqua S, the GR86, the Yaris RZ, Trueno and the Prius G

they're like, the same car! It's all Corollas! My favorite is the Corolla pickup

Ok more news. This isn't from GT, but it could have larger implications for all sim racing games.

Reiza Studios for reference are the developers of Automobilista.

The especially interesting part to me about this is:
"Along with it, we will also release a pack with new prototypes and GTs that raced there this year..."

This would seem to indicate that the fears of Motorsport Games' exclusive licence for Le Mans blocking a lot of modern race cars from appearing in other titles might not be the case.
This might apply to the other series' that MSG have exclusive licences for too, such as NASCAR, Indycar & BTCC, but none of that can be said for certain unless they're actually added by a different entity.

This would also seem to indicate that Circuit de la Sarthe itself can still be added to other/new games, even after the MSG deal. Perhaps the same can be said for Indianapolis Motor Speedway if the La Sarthe situation is a reference to go by for this circuit licencing stuff.

I'm really thinking that the exclusivity that MSG has is purely related to the hosting of official events/series (such as Le Mans Virtual), and not necessarily the cars & circuits featured in them.
If that is the case, sim racers rejoice!

 

[Spongeinside]

That would be great news!

This sounds so great, all of it, the modern recent Prototypes, the 70s and 90s versions of Le Mans and the appropriate car packs to them.
Why can’t we have anything like that in GT7, some positive surprises, I see no indication that PD is doing something like that.

 

[Fezzik]

I'm kinda glad GT7 doesn't have all those separate DLC track and car packs.

 

[RobertHammer]

I'm kinda glad GT7 doesn't have all those separate DLC track and car packs.

You would be surprised how many would pay for those packs (then whine about it) , but i am glad we don't have that in GT7 ... yet

 

[DapperDan07]

I would have no problem with paying for something like that. I would be much happier if pd released more structured updates rather than the random ones we’ve been getting

 

[Doncarlone]

If PD released a dlc with, like, 5 new tracks, 50 new cars and an expanded career mode with new missions, I would buy it
