Seattle as it was before from GT2-GT4 wouldn't be possible due to the work done there since then (It think it had something to do with the Aqueduct or something).

Yeah but I was responding to the member's saying that it'd be cool to receive upscaled versions of a couple o' tracks.

I'd be more-than-happy to get a higher-res version of Seattle as it was back in the day. Hang on...what am I saying?!? I'd be stoked!

My one issue is if its even possible to do so without it looking...gross. This is a track that would effectively be 2 whole console generations old so I feel like its asking alot to take a track from the PS2 and simply upscale it to work on the PS5. And given the leap between said platforms, it would make the whole Standards vs Premium issue on GT5 look tame in comparison if its not done well.
 
Fair point; I considered that too.

Figured if worse came to worst they could recreate the assets digitally. It'd be a lot more work obviously, but I know a lot of peeps would be wrapped.
 
Some interesting details in these new Japanese Scapes.

Why in some car the clutch doesnt work? Even if it is a manual trasmission car and also if we look the animatin in the coockpit…but then clutch doesn’t work and work just as a sequential trasmission.

Well if you want a definitive answer to the question "does PD care about forza?", you got it with this update. Just another one of those we are used to.
Forza motorsport releases, in early acess, next week.

Well, what’s the answer? I always had the impression that GT doesn’t try to compete with Forza but this update suggests they actually might. The FK8 Civic is being used to market Forza and here we have the FL5 in GT7.
 
Finally got to play Wreckfest, I forgot how much I missed Flatout 2 type of racing. And great music in races 🤘🔥 Welp this will be my go to game. I shall become the rammer then 😁😈. It is the same for everyone, the only rules are that there are no rules 😏. Even Single Player is nice imo, not tried Multiplayer yet.

Quitting GTWS after current season, after that only doing in GT7 league races and TTs, or lobby fun with friends. And testing update content/new added races. Dailies I have not done in a long time, except when I increased my SR after a manu ragequit rd.1.

The old Tokyo Route 246 layout is not possible anymore, unless PD just ups the graphics of the old version.

The road near the palace has been turned into a pedestrian walkway. New layout would add a new hairpin a bit further on.

But hope PD would recreate these roads and and weather and full 24 hour timecycle.

it seems that the white guardrails blocking the road can be moved if needed (see last picture), at least from the eastside.

As of this writing, two pieces have been removed by the police or palace guards and it seems they are waiting for cars to come by to the palace.

But even if the rails can be moved, part of the road has been repaved with stoneblocks and is convex in shape from the middle. So even if PD were to retain the original layout, there would be a small hump in the middle of the track.

Also, didn't find Asimo, they were sold out.

Same ordinary update with 3 lausy new events? Highly suggestive that PD doesn't care.
At least they should have made more events than usual. And Meaningful ones. It cant be that hard to create.

There're several cars which have that kind of mistake. What car did you mean?

That's not insurmountable; PD has been using AI to create road junctions on fictional tracks and there's no particular reason they couldn't resurface a stretch.

Also that's pretty normal for roads. It's called "crowning" and it helps drain water to the edges - although residential streets tend to have steeper cants than highways.
 
I really don’t understand why Polyphony won’t, at the very least, release a statement indicating that they are aware of the server issues that is making Sport Mode unplayable for many of us.

When I try to join a race, 4 out of 5 times it crashes and it’s the same for many other people.

Among the races I'd like to see (and that they could/should add) are:
  • Le Mans Gr. 1 (maybe with LMPs on the layout with chicanes, and a race with just the old Group C cars on the layout without... anyway, right now, it's a shame not to have a Gr. 1 race there) ;
  • Blue Moon Bay Infield A Gr. 4/WTC 700 (and maybe also Gr. 3/WTC 800, but it's a bit too short a route, more suitable for Gr. 4);
  • Brands Hatch GP Size 3/WTC 800;
  • Circuit de Sainte-Croix B Gr. 3/WTC 800;
  • Deep Forest Gr. 3/WTC 800 (already in the championship);
  • Dragon Trail Gardens Gr. 3/WTC 800 (but we already have a Gr. 4 race there and a Gr. 3 race in Seaside, I know);
  • Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa Gr. 3/WTC 800 (maybe also Gr. 4/WTC 700);
  • Road Atlanta Gr. 3/WTC 800 (as above, maybe also Gr. 4/WTC 700);
  • Mount Panorama Gr. 3/WTC 800 (possibly endurance);
  • Trial Mountain Gr. 3/WTC 800 and Gr. 4/WTC700 (already in both respective championships);
  • Nurburgring GP Size 3/WTC 800 and Size 4/WTC 700;
  • Red Bull Ring Size 3/WTC 800;
  • Laguna Seca Gr. 3/WTC 800...

+1 on this! I just made an overview of all Gr.4 and Gr.3 races in GT7 to not have to flicker between the continents and pop in and out of tracks all the time to remember where everything was... And it's shocking how few WTC 700 races there actually are! Only 7 events - compared to 16 WTC 800 events, which is also still criminally underrepresented. I want to put my favourite two Porsches on more tracks, please! 😅

GOD, hear this soul in pain. Relieve him of his suffering and giveth the mercy he deserves.
 
Just a general question, why don’t they program a rear view on some cars, MC20, F50 etc, and others they do a rear view through the window? Also with the side mirrors, why don’t they let you use the mirrors? Must be some reason

Probably keeping the view similar to the VR making it a little narrow?

VR person here: I use my mirrors all the time. The driver view in the game on screen doesn't have the same ability so that's a part of the issue (varies by car.)

I always play with camera movement on so I can look around the car and check the mirrors with the right stick. As to why some cars have no interior rear view, I don't know, it bothers me too. In many race cars with no rear glass, it's understandable, but that doesn't explain some road cars. The Huayra has a tiny rear window, and gets a rear view mostly dominated by the rear speakers, which is beautiful, if a bit impractical. It doesn't sound like good publicity to suggest the MC20 has poorer rear visibility than a Huayra... show us the holey window!

Thanks, I’m just curious to what their reasoning is. The Veneno is modeled and you can hardly see anything out the back 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
For the past few days, I haven't been getting my daily workout reward. I tried this game on the PS5 for the first time and that's when it started. I'm back on my PS4 and I'm still not getting the reward. Does anyone know what's happening?
 
There should be an option to see out of the rear and an option to bypass it.

Have your clocks changed recently? There was a known bug that you didn’t get the daily reward for a few days after a clock change (GMT to BST for example)

Oh yeah I was in a time zone one hour ahead when I was playing the PS5. Thanks, hopefully it will sort itself out eventually.
