Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Nakano219]

GT7 has a booth set up at Tokyo Game Show as the chosen game to promote PSVR2, it seems:

Why is the AI in Custom Races so deliberately dumb? Is there any trick to make them not drive off the track in every single corner whenever I am behind them?

Less than a week left in that GT Movie online time trial. If my guess about the end of that event lining up with the next content update is correct (which it still might not be), we could be into the timeframe for silhouette teasers

Next update is likely 28th Sept. So the teasers will likely be this Sunday

It could be me but I think I may have noticed them trying to get out of the way sometimes but seemingly only on certain moments, like when you're about to pass them quickly. I could be wrong though! Also, speaking of which, Last year I've had an AI driver stay immobile in the grass, causing a never-ending yellow flag.

I passed by way slowly but I still got slapped on the wrist a 0:00:500 penalty... which I had no idea that they implemented penalties with yellow flags in single player.

Edit: I get yellow flags on Nürburgring Nordscheife a lot in WTC 700 but sometimes nothing happens and it still triggers. Must be because I'm playing on Easy.

I think the system from GT5 is still in place where they start to drive more erratically when they're under pressure. Though in my experience, I don't see what you're describing happen very often. They mostly just spin the wheels a bit out of corners.

This is apparent on tracks like Spa 24 Hrs where if you're gaining on the AI they will overshoot the last/first corner.

ive always thought the AI try way too hard to be in your way, sacrificing their own racing line to do so.. ive had times where ive blasted past them, then watch them in the mirror swerve over to try & block me..2seconds late 😂

It's unusually early because this is a quite easy update for PD:

"The following cars are now available at the Brand Central:
Toyota HIMEDIC
Toyota GR Corolla
Mazda 3 Gr.4

Thank you for your continued support and please enjoy Gran Turismo 7!"

That would be legendary

 

[Techlet]

Don't forget it's possible that:

"Mazda 3 Gr.4 will be received early as a gift for by taking part in the Mazda Spirit Racing GT Cup 2023. It will be available to purchase at Brand Central in late November."

Hardly when that event was on-site Japan only ... 🤪

 

[Famine]

To my recollection, there's three events: Mazda Spirit Racing GT Cup at Fuji Speedway 2023 (live), Mazda Spirit Racing GT Cup at Okayama 2023 (live), and Mazda Spirit Racing GT Cup 2023 (online, Japan only).

Won't be surprised if this will be the case, to be honest

 

[Shakengandulf]

Guessing a Gr.4 race at fuji for the Mazda.
Which i wouldn't mind since it has dynamic weather. Whatever race we get, just give us something 1hr long minimum.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Maintainence incomming on the 28th. 👀

 

[Rossell2]

I'm suspecting not on the basis there was a YouTube vid to go along with them but I suspect an announcement they're available.

Have to admit because of the early August-ness of the last update it does feel like an eternity.

Hahahahahaha That's a solid prediction on the next update right there!

3 racing cars whoa

FL5 , Mazda3 Gr.4 but what is that top car?

 

[Ryan Dungey]

That top car I have no clue it’s giving me bmw vibes but idk

 

[Ryan Dungey]

I think the top is this

 

[Techlet]

The livery wizards should have a field day with the EG Civic.

A patch with three Japanese hatchbacks which span the tuner scene, actual motorsport, and modern enthusiasts seems weirdly coherent for PD.

Appears to be that modified EG that was scanned a while ago

 

[DS13_supergt]

 

[Sezu]

to people who didn't get GR Corolla or Himedic it's actually a five car update this month

4 of them are hot hatches

 

[GTboyz]

Lmao I was thinking back a few days ago how it would be alright to have the FL5 in the game.

Is the SEMA Civic FWD?

So there's this offer from Sony (in the US only, unfortunately) at the minute where if you buy a PS5 you get a free PS5 game: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/upgrader-program/

Why is this GT7 news? Because the list of available games is every single 2020-22 major PS Studios PS5 game, except for GT.

Between this, neither Sport nor 7 ever being on PS Plus, and the infrequency of it ever going sale, it seems Sony are really reticent to put GT on offer compared to basically every other game in their first-party lineup. It's odd.
