...we will get Hyundai Staria 🤣

Bring it on! Add the 3.5 V6 AWD Staria, the Alphard needs a sparring partner.

On the earlier point of GT (and FM) having no city tracks anymore, the perfectionism of building details is a big part of it, yes, you can tell from looking at the Kleine Scheidegg railway station on Eiger Nordwand; that building alone is a few human-years of work – but the more immediate problem is the ground in general. It's why Tokyo Expressway has obscured, blank ground.

'Tree, grass, rumble strip, asphalt' must be relatively simple to model to exacting detail compared to 'doorstep, various pavement, grass patch, telcom pit cover, curb, drain, asphalt'. It'd be tedious enough to model the curbs to the standards of an open world game like FH5 or TDUSC, but when you zoom in to the detail level of GT7's Nürburgring surface, the curbs and drains and individual concrete pavement slabs become a fractally complex nightmare like the coastline problem, until you end up with a street level that you could race 1:64 scale cars on.

Ah! Maybe that's the solution, we could have simple city courses on the smooth, plastic streets of Tomica Town!
 
I'm still hoping we get more N-branded Hyundai models, especially the Veloster N and Elantra N. Maybe we could even get new made-for-game Gr.4 and Gr.3 racers based on one (or both) of those two, if only to give Hyundai updated entries for the Manufacturers Cup. Plus maybe we could see some older Hyundai models - or at least the Tiburon.

Also, I genuinely think the Ioniq 5 is one of the best-looking EVs I've seen on the road. It'd also be my favorite EV design overall, if not for the fact that the Pininfarina Battista and B95 exist.

Funny I posted this a little while back.


So far, two out of these four cars are in the game(A GR Yaris is in, but not the 6MT nor auto-trans update[yet ;) ]. It’s nearly five years old, time for a new one). That AMG isn’t too far of field.
The R35 arrived in October 2024. The Ioniq N in January. Maybe the AMG GLC63 arrives in April along with the updated Yaris(wouldn’t surprise me if the A90 Final Edition gets added during that time as well). Just in time for a new season of Gazoo Racing E-Motorsports, which usually begin in April.

This is a trend that ended last year, interestingly.

From 2018-2023, we got at least one new GR-branded car a year (GR Supra Racing Concept, GR Supra, GR Yaris+second GR Supra, GR86, GR010, GR Corolla). But there wasn't one in 2024.

Ah, it is not an issue on my side then.
Well, let's wait patiently.

If you were planning to race with friends today, you might want to hold off on that for the time being (Possibly consider a reschedule depending on how things go)

I really wish there was some form of consumer protection against this online only requirement. If you advertise your game based on content that is up to the manufacturer to provide access to, it's not the same game you can enjoy when they can't provide the service...
 
Let's hope PD/Sony takes the time to change out the servers that keeps holding half the field in the GTWS Manufactures cup. Seems like the Nations Cup had newer smoother server. And it's done before the Race. I was just starting to get fast when it locked me out.

Oh, anyone but me pick up on it being the 25th anniversary of Dodge winning the 24 hrs of Daytona overall and, we finely have a fair shot with a Viper under BOP? Just saying ;)

I sure love coming home on a friday night and being unable to play because GT7 is an always online game and Sony's piece of 💩 servers are down.

Nice to see all that PS Plus paywall money being put to good use.

SONY is responsible for not only our lost time here on GT7 but other games AND online services for example about half of my streaming services are down HBOMAX, Netflix, Hulu, some of the Prime channels I pay for...
SONY OWES US....

☆☆☆ BREAKING NEWS. ☆☆☆

As I just posted this, the servers are back up and online here on east coast USA.

If only there were other means of accessing such streaming platforms🤔

Downtime for online games sure, it’s an inconvenience, but that’s really all it is
