Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Nakano219]

It could just be social media content around the Nürburgring 24 Hours; remember GT/PD are one of the main sponsors of the N24.

I'm not saying it won't be a game-related announcement, but I'd set the metaphorical oven hob of expectation to simmer, not full-on boil.

Edit: just see that I post a couple of minutes late, please delete 😅😅

So, the official IG account is kind of teasing something for tomorrow at Nurb 24h

 

[RaY29rus]

Can't wait to see an official Gran Turismo™ booth at Nurburgring tomorrow!
Ye I would totally bet it's probably just some sort of a competition there at the track for those attebding the race

 

[05XR8]

I’d guess a GT7 kiosk.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

I wouldn‘t expect too much from that announcement tbh. It‘s probably just going to be some PR content.

 

[Chris30]

Looks like there's possibly going to be some sort of announcement tomorrow?

Wow, what a nice surprise. Wonder what else they will reveal?

Likely a new sponsorship deal, or expanded involvement with the Nürburgring 24h.

I'm not holding my breath for GT content reveals.

This wknd is also Pikes Peak 2025. Which is PRESENTED BY GRAN TURISMO. As a main sponsor.

 

[Nebuc72]

I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's more than a Time Trial kiosk.

 

[Mathaios_C]

Exactly what they did last year. I would not expect anything tbh.

 

[mastretta_mx]

Probably a new partnership with a brand?? I don't remember the exact dates, but I have the idea than they announced the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N collaboration last year during Nurb 24h

As well as the Watkins Glen 6 Hours, featuring a track that is on GT7. Let's manage our excitement meters here.

At most, I just keeping it on low. Won't crank it up if I don't need to.

Nice Photo and memory Thank you for sharing. Is that you and your brother in the red jackets slightly left off center picture? As in all of the cars you post are red

No. We looked like this:

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the fun and action!

Oh it was incredible mate... Nothing else like it.

 

[Ande3200]

Hopefully its something good. Otherwise it would be bad to just tease it

 

[RobertHammer]

I still dont get why they dont licence the NLS or just the 24h Nurburgring since they are a sponsor of those events

and they "could" scan all those cars while being there

 

[RACECAR]

Come to think of it, has ANYONE ever licensed the NLS in any form? Nothing rings a bell as far as I know, just cars themselves that wear the N24 badges (Which I guess they are pretty relaxed about since I am yet to see a game where they weren't allowed to have such badging).

Hopefully this time they don't announce a collaboration that will eventually result in the breathtaking addition of One Car, while their main competitor casually releases five cars from the same brand a mere week later.

cough cough

Ok, they got 5 Hyundais, but honestly, there is only 1 of them, I would actually drive in the game...

And there's zero I'd want to drive in GT

 

[Batschisane52]

The Gr3 and Gr4 cars are as driveable as any other Gr3/4 cars in the game...although the Gr3 got nerfed since GT Sport, where it was one of the fastest Gr3 cars...
Actually there is one more in GT that is ok, the GR1 VGT...

Is there a Hyundai you would like to drive in Forza ?

Sure, the i20 and i30. Maybe not with GT's current physics, but they'd be a blast to drive with the physics we had a while back.

 

[Chris30]

This will be an interesting update next Thursday, just finished reading the whole article. It's looking to be a selection of European cars, we just know which ones will be in the package. Can't wait to see what they are. Excited about it.

There'd be no point in remastering GT6. It's the absolute worst GT game ever made. A race game with no racing in it. They'd be better off remastering GT2 or 3 or 4. They are the three best GT's made. Won't happen though.

If PD or anyone remade GT6 with all player options implemented like custom choice PP, tire, fuel and grid start for all races, then it would be a very good game. Almost forgot the bad sounds on some cars and tires squeaking way too high. In GT3&GT4 the AI is dumb but fast & competitive which was fun. Less so in GT6, but there is no rubberbanding like GT7 so there is also this.

I would love GT8 to be the spiritual evolution of GT6/5. Underrated games. GT7 intented to be the evoluton of GT 1 2 3 4. Failed miserably. GT8 with an improved career mode from GT7 with takes of GT5/6 (also art wise) and an balanced car list would be THE game. Sorry guys i thought i was kaz thinking the next game for a few minutes

 

[Mathaios_C]

Why not to try to do a new game? New everything and not trying to be something from the past? Just fresh ideas please. That’s why i would love to see someone else as a director and not Kaz.

More like GT7 somehow fell flat of trying to be more like GT1-GT4.

How many fresh ideas can there possibly be for driving cars around a track?

Music Rally in GT7 was a fresh idea, most people hated or ignored it. And "new everything" would obviously just not be Gran Turismo anymore.

The most informative comparison of why & specifically a GT game is not good enough is examples of past GT titles, to some extent similar titles like Forza etc. The problem with GT5,6,7 & Sport is obviously the single player mode not the multiplayer, even though rules&penalties etc. is important issues in multiplayer GT7 even though I haven't tried it just watched a few YT vids of something that also could be improved.
The concept of a new game would have to include or exclude similarities from other titles, be it GT or Forza or other racing games. And enough player options would fix most but not absolutely all the problems..!!!
