To anyone who has/has not played Astro Bot yet, there is an INCREDIBLE GT related reference in the later stages of the game that absolutely blew my mind! :eek:

Wait, more than the costume? Because in that case I missed it.
 
I wouldn't read too much into Albert Park being in Scapes files, they probably just took some shots there on the same trip as their other Melbourne scapes.

I would've thought the same if it wasn't for the format of the scape description being similar to other circuits that have scapes, such as Watkins Glen & Road Atlanta.

(General description of the track here)
(Unique text highlighting a specific section of the track in the scape here)

It focuses way too much on the track itself, even mentioning circuit length of 5.3km and describing it as "a tough layout that forces hard brakes from the full throttle."
Saying those kind of things in scapes and not having the circuit to experience it on would be odd, but I suppose not impossible.
Maybe there are other examples of scape locations that are a circuit in real life, but said circuit isn't in the game. The only one I can think of at the time of writing is the Monza oval though (edit: and the Fuji banking).

Also if they were took alongside the other Melbourne scapes, which are already in the game, if there is no intention of adding the circuit then surely the Albert Park scapes would be in the game already too. Unless they're being held back for a second wave of scapes or something.

There aren't any.

Scape circuit locations are: Spa, Le Mans, Nurburgring, Monza, Fuji, Autopolis, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and Daytona.

Found a couple examples:
  • Long Beach
  • Belle Isle

But the descriptions for those don't mention the tracks or racing at all, unlike Albert Park, so they are definitely intended to just be normal city scapes.

Le Mans was technically this at GT Sport's launch, but that was it.
 
To me, F1 event exclusive circuits such as Albert Park, Singapore’s Marina Bay circuit, Las Vegas Street Circuit, I feel are the most unlikely of mainstream circuits to be released officially in games outside of EA F1. I’m just unsure of how they’d work from a licencing perspective, maybe unlicensed versions of such would work, but outside of Project Cars, we don’t really see unlicensed circuits in games now.

From a quick look online, the Albert Park circuit doesn’t even have a logo or any obvious ownership (I’d assume Australian Grand Prix corp are in charge of the circuit too).

While the circuit would be great in game, it’s the behind the scenes stuff that makes me lose confidence on circuits like it making the game.

For context purposes there is a second GT cameo bot in this game which you unlock in one of the last worlds that is then placed alongside the GT driver in your main hub, i'll just leave it at that for those not wanting the surprise spoiled :D


All i'll say is: Team Asobi absolutely did their history research!

Agree, which is why I was skeptical about Gilles Villeneuve supposedly coming to GT7. It just seems unlikely
 
I wonder if the lack of news is because they're saving an update announcement to be held during the Tokyo event next weekend...
 
Is there any update to the ridiculous 1.49 patch trueforce and DD settings that feel like ass now? Like is anybody talking about it? Has any official gt7 person mentioned they are working on it? The game is completely ruined for me, iv tried many many many settings and it just sucks

I'm still hoping the FFB was only toned down for the U17 Time Trial and will return to normal any day now that it's over.

State of Play announced for tomorrow night (11pm BST).

Small but non-zero chance My First GT shows up. Although given the rumours about what other first party showings there'll be, maybe we should be hoping it's not there?

I actually think the OG Horizon and Days Gone are 10/10 games, but yeah, don‘t think GT will show up there.
 
I'm gonna guess either Sony's confidence in Concord was so misplaced at the time, that no one bothered to remove the sequel after the failure....or somehow they think THIS will be the top seller that the first one was supposed to be. Who am I kidding, it's a sequel to a game that wouldn't even have been a year old before being announced.

If it is the former though, does suddenly open up a spot...

Grabbed from Reddit. So probably not unless way at the bottom of the list.

That was a meme post I saw on Twitter by Opera GX. Not only Concord 2 gives away the list is made up, but look at the rest:
Bloodborne Kart?
Horizon Zero One Two?
Horizon Forbidden East?
Astro Bot Concordia?

So yeah, not an actual list. We don't have too long to wait until we find out what PlayStation are showing though.

It seems more to be the gilding of the lily. Just in case "Horizon Forbidden East" and "Horizon Zero One Two" weren't enough.

Horizon "From the East to the West." (I love this good ol' GT Classic between the " 's)

Is this part of the bit?

I'm not sure, its just beyond insane in my eyes to see "Concord 2" knowing full well what happened to Concord itself. It would be like those developers announcing "The Day after Tomorrow 2" a week after the first game's awful launch.
