Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

Define "single race"

In some of the non custom races the ai cars can "adapt" to your car/it's tune. I notice it usually in races with high pp cars

non custom

adapt to me doesn't declare why some combinations are just unwinable (for me) and then you try again and the leader is another car or the same car but slower and so on...

purely random AI racing performance.
Sometimes a car gets stuck behind traffic, sometimes it doesnt.
Sometimes the leading AI has an AI that manages to keep up for whatever random reason and this causes it to drive more wasteful, creating a different pit timing (if pitting is required).

 

[KAlex122]

no pitting. leader (and leader from the beginning, no being stuck) can be catched in 2 of 3 laps and then is 10 seconds in front until the finish another time. Think that one was FR450 at Lago Maggiore West.

Another time a crazy fast car is in tha pack or not.

Just wanted to know if you guys feel that this is random as i sometimes imagine it has to do with me using the full 450PP for example or staying somewhere underneath that or car choice.

I dont think we should get gt8 anytime soon, but it would make sense for like 2027 for 30th anniversary. Hopefully gt7 have good range of updates even next year. Still excited what ps5 pro update will bring outside of ps5 pro features.

Anyone recognise this?

Is there any relation going on here?

 

[UnkaD]

I never played Motor Toon. I should give it a try some time.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Have you set boost to weak?

There is boost when set to weak. In a race in pro the AI runs a good pace for a couple of laps and then slows down so I can pass them. It's why I play GTS instead of GT7.

With today's news about Concord, and how Destruction All-Stars went, and how Dreams went, and how PS All-Stars Battle Royale went, and with all the negativity around FairGame$, and with the cancellation of TLOU Online and the London Studios game...

I'm starting to think we have lucked out with PD's mere lack of communication and occasional skipping of updates. Because the wider PlayStation Studios group seems absolutely terrible at making and maintaining a popular live service game.

All of the today racing AAA games are Live Service games, and in the other house the things not going really well too. Forza, the Crew, NFS have a lot of issues sadly.

 

[bduddy]

To me I think it's pretty clear that GT7 is the product of a debate between different groups on whether to go full "live service" with the GT franchise, or keep it closer to the older games. Hopefully this will stop the push by Sony to make everything a live service forever? Nah, who am I kidding, they'll just think they need to do it "properly" next time..

I think it's more like "let's eschew any focus groups or research in favour of trying to do something that'll please everybody".

And we all know how that usually pans out

 

[LammersXJR]

Could be something GT7 related, could be absolutely nothing!

Another exclusive will be ported.

Only realistic candidates I can think of are Helldivers 2 (Xbox and/or Switch), any number of ports to Switch, or GT7 to PC.

Pretty much all other big franchises have already been ported.

We've also got it good when it comes to GT Sport receiving an offline patch after the servers were shut down, unlike what some other franchises like The Crew have done, sparking the whole "Stop Killing Games" movement.

Honestly it's almost refreshing in a way? I don't need devs trying to be my friend. That's how you end up with a Helldivers situation where the CEO is on twitter every other week begging people to forgive him.

To be fair this pretty much happened at launch following the whole 1.07 fiasco.

Either way I find the lack of communication incredibly disheartening. I get that it's the way PD's operated since the beginning but surely there comes a point where they realise it's important that the players actually know what's coming in the future?

As it stands I can't really keep any interest in this game knowing that its most glaring issues will never be fixed. The slightest bit of communication would go a long way to bridging the gap between the devs and the playerbase. That... or they can keep posting about cars that released two months ago and Kaz's bird eggs.

A gap between the devs and the playerbase is a good thing as long as the devs know what they're doing. Otherwise they might start listening too much to player feedback, which is bad since most players don't know anything about game design.

 

[i386]

for a lot of things that seems not to be the case

 

[xDriver69x]

And the foolish masses demanding clueless decision makers do as they say is where we are now. Designers have been replaced with just ask ifruit AI. Kaz, like everyone is not perfect, but he does make a great driving game - not perfect, but it is great by all empirical measurements.

I still blame the net, myself and humanity. I miss these days.

There's a pretty good way to meet halfway here, which is to directly ask trusted and liked members of the community what they want to see. (People who actually know the franchise and know what they're talking about, not just idiots who want the game to be an ACC clone. )

A few other dev studios have done things like this and the results have usually been positive, so it's worth a shot...

Helldivers is just like Destiny. Fun for a couple months and then it’s just rinse and repeat.

Isn't that what Polyphony already do with the likes of Mikail Hizal, Tidgney, and some of the world tour drivers, or am I mistaken?
I think it's just that those conversations are also kept between them for the most part, instead of the wider community knowing the inside details too.

T10 usually engage with customers/consumers/players last time I visited the forum. Even Ian Bell had chats with those of us that discussed the Project Cars series.

Many of us just can't see Kaz doing that. The interviews gtplanet(Jordan and Famine) have had with Kaz are as close as we'll ever get for such engagement with the GT community.

Yeah, I was just about to point this out. They're already doing this with some of the GTWS stars, and people know that they're doing it, too.

In fact, some time ago (last year, I believe), a group of people tried to gather feedback into one big group and submit it to Hizal on Twitter. Safe to say I was one of them (I wanted more career events as well as new music from Daiki Kasho).

 

[MatskiMonk]

No offence to any that read GTP, but I don't want any of the glory seeking narcissists that want to succeed in online competition dictating what direction the franchise heads in. Kaz had it right with his original, realised, vision for Gran Turismo.

 

[RACECAR]

If I'm not mistaking, isn't Hizal already working for PD? (think I remembered hearing he was already interning at some point).

While I get the point, that is quite a stretch to apply such a label.

Why? None of the top players are there for the game, they're there for themselves.

I thought Hizal worked on his own? He did in GTsport. Like MatskiMonk said the top alien drivers are on their own league. I don't think any of them work for PD, not that I know of.
