They really love teasing that track to us, eh? :lol:

I wonder if (I'm sure they can) they had scanned the super speedway layout considering it's no longer raced on (I read that it has been currently used as a parking lot) and showing signs of decay.

Technically they could still add that , as a historic version of the oval but motegi itself got many variants which GT previously had too

As if he owes us that.

Of course it should, Power Pack is in dire need of updates...
The AI in endurance races can't manage pit stops properly, which ruins any interest in the race (towards the final hours).

The AI's dive bomb is a very good idea on paper, but in reality it's such a disaster that it ends up taking itself off the track.

Seeing the entire grid at the start of every race really makes me wonder if the developers have tested their DLC.

Regarding the race on the Nürburgring.
Having to do 2 LAPS of the Nürburgring + the Nordschleife for qualification completely ruins the replayability!

It's a shame because the race is really cool.

Oh and what about that charming woman who asks us to avoid collisions before each race? Who explains what practice and qualifying are?


Yes, the game needs to be updated.

While I do agree that the game has to be updated from time to time it's really not going to help if we are just going to whine about a skipped month of update and demanding an apology out of it.

We never know what's going on behind the scenes. Personally, I'd rather sit out and wait.

If an update comes, then good. If there's none, then wait for another.

gran turismo staff in motegi
they seem to be recording the sounds for the honda ra272, a car added 3 years ago???
Click to expand...

Could easily just be archival footage from when they recorded the RA272 back then, there's nothing in that that screams "recent footage". It makes 100% sense for them to have recorded it there; Honda's historic collection is literally at a museum at Motegi.

That's not to say they definitely weren't doing anything for the track at the same time. But realistically if they're ever scanning/recording a classic Honda, Motegi is likely where they would have gone, so it's plausible they only recorded cars and not track.
 
Mountly updates is not promised. Gt7 is also 4 years old, so i think you should just be happy that it still getting updates, its not given that it will keep getting updates for an unlimited amount of time. At some point the updates will either slow down or stop so they can focus on the next title.

Sony Honda Mobility Joins Forces with Polyphony Digital to Develop e-Motor Sound for AFEELA

Sony Honda Mobility Inc. (SHM) today announced its collaboration with Polyphony Digital Inc. (Polyphony Digital) to develop a unique e-Motor Sound for the in-car audio system of AFEELA, aiming to enhance the sense of unity between the driver and the car.

That would be cool if they wanted the AFEELA to have a modern small displacement V12. Maybe even multiple engine configuration sounds as options for driver choices.
 
There's a bunch of EV websites reporting that the Xiaomi VGT is going to be revealed at Mobile World Congress next week in Barcelona.

The front and side profile look quite nice, I‘m not a fan of the sloping rear end though. It throws the entire design off.

The rear reminds me of the Hyundai VGT but smoother and with a full rear light bar

It looks good until you get to the back.
To me it looks I they got stuck and couldn't figure out what they need to do and they just decided to quit
Click to expand...
Exactly. It just disrupts the entire design. There‘s a reason why almost all sportscars have short rear overhangs.

I think it's time for Kaz and Polyphony to release a statement or apology as to why they missed February for an update.
Click to expand...
Except nowhere was there the promise or announcement of a February update.

I think its time people lay off the false expectations.

Maybe if one talented artist among us would reverse the bottom to make it the top of the tail, that would work better.

The whole back quarter is all aerodynamics...possibly its a MR?

The rear looks familiar with a race car from the past. Swear I’ve seen that design before.

Probably going for something like this:

They are an EV only company.

EVs need aerodynamics too to reduce the drag at high speeds....
Edit: this is from the GTPlanet article...Thread 'Xiaomi Reveals its Vision GT Car, Coming to Gran Turismo Soon' https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...on-gt-car-coming-to-gran-turismo-soon.436496/

"The cockpit cell is designed as a teardrop shape, allowing air to flow beneath the car to be diverted to the elongated rear diffuser assembly, with active components redirecting the airflow in real time. Li noted the giant, curved rear section, “like a boat”, which encompasses not just the diffuser but the rear light and an intriguing air-curtain system."

That would be mostly true before the Power Pack. The fact there’s brand new paid DLC out now, means it’s perfectly reasonable for people to expect updates/fixes for the game, let alone for the DLC itself.
