Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[05XR8]

You mean that we should have access to sport mode races without PS+? I don't think PD could do that on their own and I don't think Sony would allow it.

No, just setting up the same races in Single Player. We can do it in Custom Race, but just set the Sport Mode races up as Weekly Challenges for Single players.

There's already the same or better versions of these Sport Mode races for single players.

WTC 800 at Nurb 24 hours (single player is 3 laps whilst that joke of a Daily is just 1).
WTC 700 at Brands Hatch.
Not sure what (presumably) road car they're using for Sardegna but there's a few races on that layout.

Hasn't it been three already?

Afaik they've posted the Corvette VGT, the Afeela and now the Avantime.

It’s not about it being better, it’s about doing the exact races from the World Tour. We got the Red Bull races from the World Tour. Give players that wouldn’t and have never experienced the normal World Tour events a chance to do the same races without going online. It should have been like that every World Tour since GT Sport to now.

The time trial is available to single-player players.

Yes, I have been doing the Time Trials for a good while since no longer having subscribed to PS+.

Edit:
The Opel VGT should be cool in VR with the proximity warning.

 

[pclark06]

There will be no more updates. 1.62 was the last one, for the year 2025.

I think you meant to post this in the Forza Motorsport thread

 

[Nakano219]

2.5

They've done the CX and the Avantime. The Afeela is weird, in that there are posts about it but not the standard ones.

There probably won't be a VGT post - the Skoda and Gr.1 Genesis did not get posts last year.

 

[Mike Hamilton]

Opel VGT presented by German Youtuber. Also, some gameplay.

 

[Mathaios_C]

They introduced the Skoda and we were expecting some old Skoda cara but nothing….and same it is going to happen with Opel unfortunately

Maybe those more typical vehicles won't be coming at the same time as the VGT, but I'm hoping the VGT basically opens the door to other models being added. This could mean within GT7, or in the series future in general. See also: Volvo.

i dont know why i feel like this, but i have lost all my intrests to play gt7.

Feel like it has become so sterile. And they are not doing enough with the updates to keep it fresh.

Get back into older games like command and conquer generals, some mods for resident evil etc, Carx street, and given Tokyo xtreme racer s go soon. I must say i have had way more fun playing some of those titles campared to gt7 lately.

I agree. GT7 crappy (game) design makes it get boring so fast, that not even the desire of completing everything 100% makes it midly interesting. Also most of my favorite cars are missing, but that doesnt make it totally boring honestly, you still have 542 cars. But damn they messed up game design with this title, also you can see theres no clear idea for the game, or if there was any, it was poorly executed. Lots of contradictions by Kaz and their team.

Poor design indeed.

I started collecting extra 70s vehicles during this summer holidays to make a custom grid and prepare good endurance races with them. We are now mid-September and I'm still waiting for a Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) '73 to show up at the LCD. Apart from the quick discovery of updates, that was my basic gameplay experience on GT7 this whole summer break. Launching GT7, see if a car I need was at the LCD, turning off the game.
And every time I see certain cars showing up, I tell myself that if I need one for a future race and I don't buy 10 of them RIGHT NOW, I'll be screwed for the next five months. Debilitating....

I did nothing else and I'm slowly starting to get away from the game again.

Agreed, updates can‘t fix fundamental flaws in the game‘s design, they would have to remake the entire „career“ mode (if you can call the menu books that) from scratch.

Creating liveries and scapes are the only reason I‘m still playing this game but I can totally understand how GT7 would turn stale pretty quickly for people who primarily play it for the career and a sense of progression.

I have around 2000 hours so i have played it a lot. But i am ready to see the next chapter.

I have about 100hours but what really kills me is how much grinding you have to do to get credits. making credits hard to get whilst making cars expensive to simulate "real world economics" misses the mark of what a "real racing simulator" is supposed to mean in video games

 

[jrbabbitt]

These negative comments are coming back with a vengeance....

 

[05XR8]

I mean, the first person to type, "GT7 is dead", clearly have jumped the shark for all negative comments there after.

 

[alvitoxde123]

You guys say these are negative (which they are) but all of it is true. I dont mean the GT7 dead ones, just boring game

 

[jrbabbitt]

It's just that negative comments breed more negative comments. I'm just sick and tired of reading about it.
If you want to post and read negative comments, then start a thread stating negative comments on GT7, otherwise keep it out of the general news.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

And they are justified. You can generally like something but still criticize certain aspects. That doesn‘t mean you hate everything about it.

All things considered I enjoy playing GT7 (otherwise I would have stopped long ago) but the game still has fundamental issues that hold it back from being truly excellent. Which is really annoying because PD got so many things right (physics (mostly), graphics, sound, livery editor, scapes, customization) but dropped the ball on others (A.I., lack of career mode, lack of a sense of progression, outdated cars).

100%. On point.

Thats the dumbest take i have read in the last month. Why cant i criticize respectfully a game that i paid 80 bucks? Its not like im always sharing these negative comments towards the game. Also they r all fundamented.

I understand the point made by @jrbabbitt.

How many times have you (and a large number of people, including me) already expressed your sentiment about the flaws of the game ?

Do you intend to repeat yourself with every update ? Every news ?

Do you think the thread about latest news is the best place to express your feelings about the game ?

You can criticize the game, it has big flaws, but maybe choose another thread to do so, and if you gonna repeat your point each time, maybe move on, it serves no purpose at this point.

I come to this thread to read the "latest news" about the game, not to read the same bunch of guys complaining every time with the same complaints that I know (and have the same feeling about) since 3 years now.

 

[Aero2000]

This is the first time i see that the radiator get leak after a crash with a betong barrier. Is this new or is it only the P1?

Fair point!

To stay on topic: I wonder if September gets skipped concerning an update as some of you have suggested.

I really hope that‘s not the case because some new sports cars or race cars would be cool. I also have a few livery ideas for the Opel VGT in mind that I‘d like to try.

The goal is probably to make those cars feel exclusive, rather than an attempt to simulate real world economics.

I criticized the game 5 times. So its not like im only hating on the game 24/7. And yes maybe i was a bit repetitive. However its also a thread for discussion on the gamae, so i think its not wrong to share our 2 cents, even if they are negative or whatever. Again sorry @jrbabbitt

Pls!

Im 50/50, not sure what to think.

What i am sure, and very sure actually is that we need proper communication from PD regarding updates and stuff in general.
While i do love the thrill of not knowing whats next in an update or if we even will have one, i think its better for a clean roadmap.

For example: Gran Turismo 7 2025 roadmap.
September - Update launching 28th, trailer 21th. 4 cars - 1 track - 2 Menu Books. October - No update - November
I wont keep going but you get the point. To keep the WOW/surprise element, they can only say the amount of cars, not the cars names.
