Now that the games been out a while, the game needs something like a second season, opening up new levels 51-100, bringing in new career events, 2-4 hours endurance races, championships, events especially for historic cars (those cars that a currently useless), going back to GT1 there needs to be something mysterious event or video that teases GT8 that unlocks upon reaching level 100.

We desperately need more options or customizable parameters in single player. Like after all the 39 menu books we can change every rule in the game, or after unlocking level 50 we can change every parameter/rule in any event. Or make it a DLC! I would pay for it!

Do you want track updates or "the original GT"? Because the original GT was just a game on a disc and you were either happy with that, or put it away and played something else. No complaining about free updates not being to your liking. Besides, no kind of track update will turn this game into an old school GT and you know that.

And if you take any statement by Kaz or PD as such a promise, you are setting yourself up for disappointment, that's on you.

I want the 'original' GT rules in GT3 but in GT7 graphics & sound. Should be optional.

One of his last responses was this one:

The fact the responses under his posts were overwhelmingly positive and constructive didn't really matter in the end

IMHO quite a sad state of affairs when as a game developer you can't be open to the most positive feedback possible without fearing for your job

If I talked about my job and the inner workings of the company I work for like he did I would be fired on the spot.
I think he got a bit carried away because he liked the attention.
You just can’t talk the way he did “I’m the only one who cares” as an employee or contractor.
Unless you own the company you best stay put.
Portraying oneself as a sort of Gran Turismo Robin Hood was a bit embarrassing honestly.

I just know the things he wrote that have been posted here and IMO there's nothing embarrassing about this. The world needs more people who speak up if they're not happy how things are going.
 
Found this interesting. It's a clip, so the video doesn't show up as a preview. But the link seems to work fine.
It relates to tracks.

You already paid for the game, though. You’re willing to pay more because the game design sucks? Wow, ok.

Right, but then he should speak up to his superiors, not randoms on reddit.
It's really simple, that's nothing to do with free speech or anything, but you can't undermine your employers' official communication as a 3d artist.

He wouldn't want the PR people to meddle in his job, either. It's just unprofessional to overstep your responsibilities, although I don't think he deserves to be fired and I don't think that's the reason. Probably got a stern talking to.

I hoped that some changes in comunication with the players is happening...guess not.

What has written in that post, if PD would only make some QOL improvements and better use resources that are already in the game without any new assets that would be a huge step forward.

Looks like some ppl are so frustrated about the current state of the game that they would be willing to pay again to get a better product. And guess what? I would pay for this also!
And don't get me wrong here, I don't say "The game sucks". I paid €70 for GT7 and I clocked in 1600+ hours and it was worth every penny. But the longer you play the more you see things that are not that great and could be better. So yes, I would absolutely pay again to overcome those things and get an even better game!

I don't know man. I have a lot of experience with things like that myself. Yeah, sure, you talk to your superiors and they usually tell you they understand and things will change, but then nothing happens and you get frustrated.

But whatever, the guy is an adult and I'm sure he was aware that his actions may have consequences. Was what he did "unprofessional"? Well, maybe. But I also think that a company, that absolutely refuses to communicate with their customers in any way, is also "unprofessional".

It’s the companies choice. Absolutely not his call to make.
There is no law requesting companies to be communicative.
There are however contracts and NDAs for employees and contractors..

Unfortunately companies (speciales Tech related corporations) are really sensitive about what the employees do outside the usual work schedule (15 years on a high tech company as employee have been really educational about that lol)

To each his own, but for me the solution was to look elsewhere and I'm telling you, getting a PC was like an awakening, and I've hardly touched GT7 since, except for a few occasions when an update I find sort of interesting arrives. Now, I get that a gaming PC can be quite expensive, but a lot of the games/sims I'm talking about doesn't need a high-end one to run well. You don't need a wheel for any of 'em either. Both RaceRoom and Assetto Corsa plays great with a controller for example. Also, if you tend to be nostalgic at times, you can install emulators and relive the "golden age" of Gran Turismo in upscaled graphics. Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but it's easy to paint oneself into a corner, I did too for years, hoping things would improve, but they didn't, and I'll be chocked if GT8 is much different whenever it arrives.
 
I read through the disappointment and I simply have to shake my head. These last several updates have been fantastic, if you bothered to look past the surface announcement.

People complain that we don't get race cars, but we got the Escort RS that can be modified into a full on race car. This month, it gets a full race engine for those who want it. So, ONE CAR (among many), can go from showroom perfect to full blown race car, and y'all want MOAR?

This month (I'm paraphrasing) "boo hoo, we don't get us no race carz". Yet, we got the 205, which like the escort, can be fully modified. I suspect an engine swap is coming in the future.

And, as expected, the Unimog is a HOOT!! The smile on my face once I took it to GT Auto. I literally laughed out loud from the happiness. It was involuntary. It made me GIDDY!! Now, granted, you may know of the current issues that Canada is having with our neighbours, and I am sure that factored into my excitement. Still, what is the price for this happiness? NOTHING. It's free with my original purchase from (and this seems to be constantly lost on ungrateful people) THREE YEARS AGO!!!

What kills me is that I often see posts complaining about the cars being offered, especially comments about "no race carZ :P", and I rarely see the same people commenting in the daily race thread. You know the thread, right? The one where the guys who like to race hang out. If you don't race, then why do you want a "race car"? The definition of which is still unclear to me.


I 100% see the wisdom from PD and Sony, They are making the game better for those who appreciate the game. The 12 million or so who appreciate what this game offers. I want to be clear, I have my complaints, but the monthly update isn't one of them. On this point, the problem is YOU not them.

Is that so...?

I never tried any of those, but after all I was reading and hearing about that topic I got the impression, that both are not very playable with a controller...

But if I ever get back to PC-racing(there are some reasons why I don't like to do that at the moment), I reinstall GT-Legends and take my old steering wheel out of the closet...with the 200(or more) moded race tracks(with all the defunct and lost race tracks of the 1950s,1960s and 1970s) and all the modes cars from that area it can't get any better for me when it comes to racing games....

I didn't say there are laws, I said it feels unprofessional for me.

And that's my last post concerning this, I said what I had to say and I don't think further discussion of this would change anyone's mind.

If you can play GT7 with a controller, then yes, it is very much so indeed. Tokyo Xtreme Racer on the other hand, that takes some getting used to, lol.

That's probably because they're not used to a controller in the first place. That'd be my guess anyway.
