I was wondering, would voice chat ever make a comeback in GT7 or the next GT installment? It was fun in the PS3 era, but I'd imagine that the road rage would pretty much ruin it for everyone :lol:

It seems that SIE wants players to communicate through the console's Party features for first-party titles like GT, so probably not.
 
Given how much easier it is to mute people on the console as opposed to in game, think I'm fine WITHOUT seeing it return to the series (Especially nowadays where you have people who think just having their mic on while their smacking their food, having their kids crying in the back or having their TV or Radio up full volume is fine).
 
Plus with the DualSense, its picks up audio directly from the controller without the need of a seperate microphone.
And its default state is unmuted, so there would be a lot more noise chaos from people who don't know their audio is being recorded.
Or to go the conspiracy theory route, Sony could be using that unmuted default state to spy on us lol.

On a different topic, there should be a game update next week...

In future if you see a post you believe may break the site's rules, please use the Report button rather than attempting any kind of citizen justice.


Moving on, PD clearly took offence* at my Invitations article, and slapped me with a Lamborghini Invitation and an Aston Martin Invitation in two successive four-star tickets from Daily Marathons...

*Obviously I'm joking

Can you slap that luck my way for a Ferrari invite, had it teased twice and ended up with an Engine (Merc AMG) and a Shelby GT Mustang?

Hopefully this weekend's tease will be good and am looking forward to hopefully seeing something that I am a fan of in the car lineup and of course any new engine swaps, I now have my XJ220 swap for the Le Mans race and has been very enjoyable to drive.

GT5 had the broadest language filter I've ever encountered. My particular issue was that "bacon" was censored!

On that note, I found out GT7's swear filter is console language-dependent. This is why you can't type "Wangan" (because of the first four letters) if your console language is in English, but you can do that with any other language.

Certainly the reason we got the Tickford FPV Ford Falcon AU V8 Supercar and not another famous V8 Supercars Ford racing champion Richard Johnson. And his name isn't Richard in the history books. Oh the horror! 🤣

I don't want us fans to ever give up hope of getting at least 1-3 GT3 vehicle(s) & race circuit(s) by E.O.GT7.
Be that as it may or not;

Per my previous post, the word "Dick" has entirely acceptable meanings (not least as a regular human name) other than "penis" and as such is neither censored nor censurable on GTPlanet. There is, therefore, no reason to skirt around it.

Unless you call someone a dick, in which case point three of the Acceptable Use Policy applies.

But again, the word filters used in GT7 come from SIE and this is not a GT7-exclusive topic. On we move, please.


Edit: Was "On we move, please" unclear somehow?

20 min drive from a race track that would be a very nice addition to the game.
 
Tried to see if there was a hint of the circuit in the footage but couldn't see any.

Oh that is so dumb. Seriously questionable means of censorship for no reason.
 
We really need a content update to make it stop. ;)

If they are using regex in their filter at all, then it is probably indiscriminate. You also want the filter to capture text that may be hidden within other words or substrings and censor/remove them before it reaches another user.

For the "coconut" example above, you might want to capture "coc", since that could be trying skirt around a certain four-letter word (I am not risking it today). If they feel particularly heavy-handed, they might want to also capture "nut" too, since there are very little reasons for you to be discussing that food item in a racing game :lol:

Its a bit curious that the filter is tied to language settings. Maybe the list(s) of banned words were handled by different (international) teams, or that PD didn't even design it themselves at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I've stumbled on a video of the 1932 Ford hot rod in GT7. It's currently housed in Ford's auto museum storage which is an odd place to find a car to model - and an odd choice of one to model if this is where PD found it. It still has the Arizona plates. It also illustrates the level of creative liberty nigh authenticity that PD strives for - look at all the swirl marks in the paint, clouding of the polished aluminum and chrome, and the wear on the interior leather. PD maybe have modeled the car accurately but they textured it to pristine condition. This car is in great shape regardless but it goes to show that PD can and does "fix" models and textures to restore the car to perfect video game showroom condition. I wonder how worn a car they can restore? Scroll to 23:40:

I just noticed, sometimes I can get the clean bonus salvaged by feigning being sent into the wall after I collide with an AI car.

I think I've had at least 10-15 clean bonuses saved that way. That being said I don't advise doing that in racing events with collision penalty or shortcut penalties.

Oh and I don't advise you do that in Multiplayer, that would be gross because there's a risk the person you hit would get the blame pinned on them by the game.

TL;DR It's an exploit.
