Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[sejtur]

Asking here too... (Sorry for being too persistent)
I've just noticed that PP of the LFA was a bit increased in the latest update. (594.81 → 596.91)

There's a little possibility that this was brought by an update on its stock gearbox from MT to semi-AT (finally), but I can't check if it's true since I don't have an H-pattern shifter and a clutch pedal controller.
If anyone here has them, can you still disengage the LFA's clutch using the clutch pedal?

I’ll check it later. Did the Ferrari Enzo pp amount change as well?

I also noticed the '91 RX-7 had a very minor adjustment to its PP in the latest update, would that have been caused by the slight changes to its model possibly changing its aerodynamic profile?

Wider Sony/PlayStation news:



I think we can put any lingering PC port rumours to bed for a while.

I wouldn’t call GT7 a narrative single player game, but yeah. At least for this generation it seems firmly off the table.

Thanks
Looks like Enzo's PP hasn't changed for a while.

I guess so, too.

When it comes to Gran Turismo, they’re cutting themselves off from the massive PC racing game community.
We could have had a lot more servers and players if cross-play had been enabled, it’s a shame.


The empty private Trackday servers on the Nürburgring are pretty sad.

The key point is that they’re not interested in the PC racing game community.

I think even if the game had however many more PC players, the Paddock mode would still be empty.

It's kind of a pointless mode tbh. It's cool to see all the cars in the parking lot, but why join one of those when there's often a bunch of track day rooms in the open lobbies?

If anything they should just remove the Paddock mode and implement the car lot view into the first screen of open lobbies.

It's probably a precursor to a co-op mode.

GT6 had online quick races that were a precursor to Sport Mode. It allows them to test the system for critical functionality before it becomes hammered by broad adoption.

Just speculation of course, but it would also make the single player events worthwhile more than 1 time.

I'm willing to bet don't this isn't a platform issue. GT7 going to PC wouldn't fix it either because let's be real: Would those same rooms be any more populated then a typical GT3 at Spa room? (or GR.3 at Spa in GT's case)

Just checked, the clutch doesn’t work anymore for the LFA. Also not on the Enzo, but that probably already was the case.

The Nürbugring Paddock is literally one of the biggest missed opportunities in this game, they could've used the Tourist Layout (which we still can't use in Online Lobbies 4 years into the game) for it and it would've been a lot better as an track-day experience. Crazy how GT SPORT managed this layout better 8 years ago.

Just your typical PD shenanigan I guess...

As if the PC world needs more GT3 at Spa, Monza, Nurburgring slop

The window is WIDE OPEN for PD and Sony to introduce GT to PC for the sheer fact that it would be the only game (sans FM23, but who cares about that these days) with a "proper" career mode (proper is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, in my opinion). Outside of FM23, there's not really a car collecting simulator that isn't just trying to find free downloads of AC Mods that are basically just ripped models from FM and GT

 

[05XR8]

I thought PC wouldn’t work because PD don’t want players modifying anything.

Thank you so much, they've finally done it!
The Enzo's gearbox was fixed via an update of GT Sport.

 

[VlackSiper12]

Probably a safe bet the update is going to be on the 28th, other than that's the last Thursday of the month. Both new time trials also end on that day too.

I feel like it's 50/50 in terms of if we get an update this month because if it isn't on the 28th, then I can definitely see it drop in June, but likely on the 10th of June as opposed to the end of June like the 24th.

I wouldn't put money on May 28th for the simple fact of the wording in the viewer's campaign rewards, where cars will be delivered after the "next update", meaning that no update is expected between Milan and June 6th. Therefore, I'd find myself agreeing with your prediction of the 10th

 

[05XR8]

Have we had "standard" updates before gift cars(well gift car campaign rewards) were handed out?

...and given AC Evo's backpedal on offline career.

I just hope not because I have about 40 roulette tickets that I would like to claim after the update lol

State of Play on June 2. Probably still a bit early for GT8 news, that would likely be saved for a Future of Gaming PS6 showcase, but maybe Power Pack 2.

 

[05XR8]

I wouldn’t mind a Power Pack 2. Just add GT SOPHY at all circuits and practice & qualifying for custom races thank you.

The boat is already too big, no place for one more 🤣

 

[wagnerFAM98]

I really don’t mind them “skipping May” if we’re getting some kind of a major update announcement for GT7 in this upcoming State of Play on June 2.

I’m not necessarily talking Spec IV, but something larger than the usual 3-car monthly pack - like the Eiger Nordwand one. Obviously, it’s also too soon for GT8.

Now, do I think an announcement for an update of that size has a place in this State of Play? I don’t know, it’s a 50-50 for me.

 

[Nakano219]

I'm not expecting much, content wise, from either GTWS R1 or the State of Play.

GT socials haven't done anything to tease anything game-related for tomorrow, not even the Instagram stories. And I don't personally think GT updates merit State of Play slots from Sony unless they have something paid or memorable attached to them (100 million sales milestone + Power Pack to advertise for last year).

If I had to get my crystal ball out, I'd predict the Xiaomi VGT gets a confirmation segment tomorrow, and then there's nothing PD in the State of Play.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

Anything about GT7 or GT8 on the State of Play, I think would potentially do some good.

We just have to wait and see but nothing is confirmed.

Might have to expand on the other side of the resort. Open up the map.

@Jordan 🤔🤔 You can tell us don't worry it's safe here!

Uhhh, yeah, Jordan, you really don't have to tease us like that. lol

We can wait... Some of us at least.

In before PD announces that GT7 is the best selling GT game (by units)
