Perhaps the Trump endorsing guy at the top would just rather do business with an American company.

They should be happy then to do business with GT as it is a product of Sony Interactive Entertainment, an American company headquartered in California.

What is making you ask that question, and in that manner?

I've never said anything of the kind, nor am I a blithering idiot.

First, it was you who asked "Why?" when I said that the cars added to the game are probably not the only choice.

Second, you posted multiple times that "there is no choice" in different threads, giving at least somewhat the impression that PD literally has "no choice".

And no idea what's wrong with the manner in my question, maybe it's because English isn't my first language.
Anyway, I never said or wanted to imply that you're an idiot, nor did I mean to be rude. If you got this impression then I apology.

Okay, I'll assume you're just misunderstanding then.

The assumption that PD is choosing to not add cars because there are cars that have not been added is not a safe one. There are an enormous amount of complicating factors, the most significant of which is licensing, that are not in PD's control.

You cannot assume that because PD has chosen to add [derided car] it has chosen not to add [highly desired car]. What PD wants to add - and yes, very obviously it would want to add the C-HR, CX-30, and about a dozen other CUVs I can think of, because it's always majored on common and first-time driver cars in its home nation - and what PD can add are two states separated by an enormous and complicated series of steps.

I can even easily envision a situation where there's a car it doesn't actually want to add, but has done so because it makes it easier to get a car it does want to add from the same brand - like a loss-leader, if you will.

Although I also can't imagine there's any car PD wouldn't want to add. It is not sitting there deliberately picking cars to not bring into the game. There's certainly things that take priority over others, but that's again on the want-list rather than the can-list.

Ah, like the game some manufacturers IRL are playing? You wanna buy a GT3 RS? Well, it would help if you would buy a Taycan first.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience

oooo . . . wishing PD could add anything they want is TIGHT!

... a division of Sony Group Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Let's not pretend Gran Turismo is an American product.

It was a slightly tongue in cheek suggestion anyway, but it would also be entirely possible.
 
GT's probably the only one getting Unimogs and CX-30s so it's a unique situation :lol:

I always have a wee laugh to myself when the good old ‘PD are holding back content’ argument flares up. I like to think that these people imagine Kaz behind a big Mahogany desk with a white cat on his lap laughing that the 499p is modelled and ready to go but won’t put it in game just because! 😂

He could request certain cars to be modelled for his personal use which cannot be officially released due to licensing, like for example the 911 that was in GT3 or 4.

That's... not exactly how that happened. And GT3.

In other news, the first 1.57 car highlight post has now landed...



Could signal an update next week...

Forza Horizon's got the modern Unimog, so not quite there...
Click to expand...
I have no recollection of that, despite hundreds of hours on FH4 and FH5. They did throw vehicles at you constantly so I may even own it and never touched it. I guess it was never a featured addition.
 
CTRL Garage
Do you have any evidence that shows they have content and holding it back?
Click to expand...
NO!
There is no evidence either way on this argument, all we / you have is speculation and wild arse guesses and the "idea" not proof that someone at PD actively reads the posts here at GTPlanet.
Until there is some direct 2 way correspondence between us and PD all we have are guesses and tears in the rain.
 
Force-Feedback
In all seriousness, I'm awaiting the Nismo 370z last gen version (2017 onwards?). considering the new z is a 370 with an engine swap, plus not coming to the uk, I couldn't care less about it.
Click to expand...
Hey bro, if I did an engine swap in the 370z would that give me more power than the stock engine? Would that be better?

I honestly don't get the impression that people here seem to think it's really easy to add a car to the game.

I would assume not as they would have to write down and keep track of what cars and models they've already used for each manufacturer, and they would have to tweak the physics and all the other variables/settings of each new car that they plan to add in certain future updates of gt7. It's not a simple task for any game and they have to use coding to insert them in the game. The same would apply to anymore tracks.

Probably not a good representation to use Ferrari because they would absolutely hold off releasing an F car for Ferrari correspondence.. Like the Ferrari VGT.

What do you mean? They have to use coding to add cars to the game?
 
Assuming the social media post theory holds, I could see the next couple of months looking similar to how last year worked, and we get an early May update, no late May update, and then to fill that gap the June content gets announced in London at the first live event (then gets released at the usual end of June).

There isn't a swap for the 370Z.

Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility

As you'll be aware by now, GT7 has engine swaps! Yay! 🎉 The feature works by either gifting you an engine through a roulette ticket (rare in general tickets, some engine-specific tickets are available) or as expensive buyable items through the engine swap facility in GT Auto. Only some cars can...

That's your issue with that post? Not the part where PD has to write down what cars are in the game?
