I understand that they try to offer something for everybody. Even if I despise rally too.

Yeah maybe. I mean, rally racing has been in the series since the second game - and i’ve never liked it! If i wanted to play rally races, I’d buy a rally game, there’s plenty of them. It’s not like GT are going to steal any of that crowd by offering a smattering of dirt tracks anyway, i really don’t know why they bother!

Well you folks have fun nitpicking about what cars either game has while I still wait for whenever both devs finally remember how to make a career mode that people actually enjoy.

My least favorite thing about GT7 is that so many events are restricted by brand nationality.
I prefer preset events to quick races or custom races, so it's a shame that there are so few opportunities to use European cars on American circuits, and that there are brands like Hyundai that have too many events that they can't participate in.

I wish there were more free and classic preset events like a simple "FR Challenge" or "Mega Speed Cup" instead of "Japanese 4WD Cup" or "American FR Cup".

At least one has actual event variety rather than the same three event types repeated for 45% of the career mode...

Yeah this is definitely my biggest gripe too, 100%. It’s so baffling why they’d have such a restriction, it adds nothing, only subtracts. I get that they maybe wanted to change things up after 8+ games of basically the same formula, but it was formula that worked. Hopefully they realise that now for the next game in the series.
 
I don't see why people can lose their minds so quickly over teasers (IE: silhouettes) when we haven't seen the rest of the content for the update yet...
 
Just hoping for an engine swap and for some older Mitsubishi Pajero liveries for the Jimny to mask the disappointment tbh.

A bit gloomy of me, but the VGTs stimulate nada.

Ah yes, a few more Extra Menus, Scapes and events. How exciting.

Selling cars, buyable Extreme Parts and Engine Swaps.

All I'm saying is there's sometimes something good behind the curtain.

Let me give you an example of how tedious this is: Let's take the Mazda MX-5 for instance (a relatively cheap car to get throughout both franchises). In the time it takes to level your car up to a point that allows you to upgrade one part in Forza, you can already upgrade multiple parts on that car in GT7 depending on the amount of credits you have right after buying it without even resorting to grinding. Not something applicable to all cars but the fact that this is even a possible scenario with one of the more historically cheaper cars of both series is abit of a mess.

This video really explains it the best.

Sure it's a bad piece of game design but I'm not really bothered by it to be honest.

Here's a thought. Put down the keyboard/laptop/tablet/mobile phone and go play FM then. You said yourself that you gave up GT7, so why are you still taking a dump in a GT7 discussion thread?

Am I not allowed to do both?

So you are literally saying that releasing unfinished game with cut out content is better than full of content game…

You could play all those missing 15 tracks from the start instead of waiting for update every month you know?

How can the tracks be "missing" if they were never there in the first place?

I think some of you should stop caring and writing essays about someone that enjoys a game that you don't.
Who cares? Just move on with your life and play the games you enjoy. Them playing it doesn't matter to you, why waste your time trying to convince them to have fun in only the ways that you want them to?

It's a bit sad to be honest!

I really want this to happen as well.
 
I got all excited when i saw the Cube shape there, but there's some decal fun to be had with the vastly over priced Jimny

You said you would prefer PD to release game with less tracks just to have regular updates.

You are happy with track every month in Forza and calling PD pathetic for having only 4 tracks withing 2 years, but forgetting that GT7 have much more tracks since day one than Forza.

I not included in "we". I want a fantasy Gr.B machine from a brand that doesn't yet have a Gr.B machine...

I'm waiting forever for a Charger Hellcat Gr.B or Challenger Demon Gr.B, especially since I'm a Dodge admirer.
Oh, and a Mazda 3 Gr.B that pays homage to the Mazda 323GTR would surely be cool too.

LIFTED_COPEN2023117_1a.jpg
And little monsters like the Suzuki Swift Gr.B and the Daihatsu Copen Gr.B will surely be fun.

Ferrari Gr.B would be nice too. They used to compete in the WRC. A safari style 458/488/F8 would be cooler than the ugly Prosangue.

Dirt racing may be a subcategory for this game, like drifting or drag racing, but as a lover of the category and cool Fantasy Gr.B machines, I am more hungry than a GT3 or GTE fan.

While I am disappointed because 2 of 3 cars are VGT lets be honest, GT is a game thsr historically has been focused on road cars, people (not diehard fans)associate the game with road cars so most people will feel more attracted tot he game if they see a Jimny (thst it is a succesful and loved car in several parts of the world) than with a ferrari 296 GT3

I find it funny that despite how many unusual fantasy Gr. B cars there are in GT, Porsche and Lambo actually made and started selling real off-road versions of their sportscars, and those are two brands that aren’t represented in the class. :lol:

Even amongst car enthusiasts I doubt many people have any idea what the Jimny is other than seeing it on the odd Best Motoring video. There are plenty of iconic road cars still absent from GT7 such as the Ford Escort Cosworth, Peugeot 205 GTI, Mines GT-R's (take your pick) etc. At this point I don't think anyone can deny the title is lacking many significant modern and classic race cars.

I don't think PD are ignorant of this fact, they have a plan but will not communicate that with us. Within the launch window of GTS it featured many of the latest LMP1H, GTE/GT3, GT500 cars, plus notable historic like Group C. PD haven't given up on such cars, they're the core of the entire game, at least the competitive elements of GT7. While we may get the odd race car in the coming months it feels like such content is being prioritised for GT8 to give it a fresh feel.

But GT has always included concept cars! Granted not to the level of the current VGT program. As one of these die hard fans you talk of, I associate GT with having quirky cars as well (sort of like say, a Suzuki Jimny!)

If the concept cars are Nissan GTR50 by Italdesign, Aston Martin Valhalla, Porsche Mission R, Mission X, Toyota Ft-se, Mazda Iconic SP, etc I'm all for it. I'll even take the old concept cars like Dodge Concept Car, Cadillac CIEN, Ford GT90 happily
 
You will never please everybody - if you add anything Nissan thats close to Silvia or GTR , you will get "ah another Nissan"
people forget that people disliked those old concept cars too just nowdays some of them got cult status

Sport player wants new latest race cars , meanwhile casual single player guy wants latest road cars - never ending dilema :dopey:

I've been playing the series since GT1, and the categories that appeal to me are as follows, from top to bottom:

1. road car (under $100,000 in real life price)
2. fantasy race car (based on the criteria of 1)
3. concept/vintage/custom car/1960s-00s road car based race car&rally car
4. modern road car priced over $100,000/modern race car/group c racecar/gokarts
5. Formula/modern prototype/VGT & Redbull
Not interested: lunar rover or patent motorwagen

And so on.
Well, in the end, I just want to say that everyone has different tastes and for better or worse, not only who loves a particular car or category is a serious and loyal fan of that game series.

I dream that one day they will release an "anniversary update" complete with the Holy Trinity of Dodge Copperhead (a.k.a Concept car), Nissan Nismo GT-R LM Roadcar, and OG Mazda Demio GL-X.

This may anger and disappoint new fans.
But as old fans, it will take us back to 1997 and give us a great sense of nostalgia.
