Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Doncarlone]

its out, no new track

PD is getting closer and closer, every update, to absolute ridiculousness.
Another dissapointing update...

 

[MIE1992]

Remember how I said I wanted to buy two of most cars, with one to leave as-stock and one to modify? Well, I think I’m just gonna buy one of most cars, instead. Even if I were to modify the only one I have for a certain model, it’s not like there’s anywhere to really use many of them at the moment. I think I’d rather stick to a select few cars as my “aces,” and then buy only one for most other models, if only to further save credits.

(The only exception being whichever car I end up picking for getting the “firm favorite” trophy. I also refuse to get this trophy just by getting ten go-karts…)

 

[Cabelmania]

Ok, for the 1st time I'm not happy about this; there was clearly a pattern about the content release, so the fact of no new tracks annoys me

At least, with the revised GTR GT3, we will have a new treat for the Sardgena grinding

 

[Samus]

Hate to say I told you so, but I did say there wasn't anywhere enough data to determine they were on a set pattern when it came to tracks. What happened so far was surely just coincidental.

As for the rest, well, there isn't a rest. Just more scapes. Any big features would be included in these articles, not saved just for patch notes.

Polyphony does everything in their power to pull their playership away with more and more disappointment updates and duplicates of cars.

Next year could be very interesting when the big competitior launches. I don't await anything from PD.

 

[hyperspeed980]

L update, ratio PD

I’m sure the vast majority here knows what to expect from these updates. The complete silence of Poly is insane but it is what it is. GT7 is a failure and more cars won’t change the core of its problems.

 

[MMX]

It's a shame the game is only 7 months old or so, and already getting stale. Having a hard time keeping myself entertained, with little help from PD.

 

[Samus]

So they added the last track to GTS in December 2019. In the following 2 years and 10 months(!!!) all the track modelling team have managed to complete have been two remakes and two remasters of old tracks, and one solitary brand new track.

Daytona
High Speed Ring
Deep Forest
Trial Mountain
Watkins Glen

What on earth is going on? Even if you excuse the lack of real tracks on COVID and travelling, where are the new fictional tracks? GTS came loaded with them. GT7, still none.

You know very well that's not correct at all.

 

[hyperspeed980]

Things are looking very, very good for this update so far. More than 3 cars for once (I don't count that Dior disaster), an original track returning, and the selling feature supposedly already being complete, AND it's releasing a week earlier than expected.

 

[Samus]

You know very well that's not correct at all.

Do I? What big features have they only mentioned in the patch notes and not the videos or articles? I'm talking proper new features like car selling or (hypothetically) course maker, stuff like that, not a few more races/new menu books.

 

[Doncarlone]

My guesstimates for the prices of the new cars.

Mazda mx5: 90k/100k based on mazda Roadster touring car

Nissan gtr gt3: 450k like most gr3 cars

Maserati merak: 60k/100k based on hagerty site

Nissan gtr 1973: 300k/400k based on hagerty site

 

[Nebuc72]

It really wouldn't surprise me if selling didn't make it into the update. It would be a glorious turd cherry on top of the soil-cake, especially considering it has essentially been feature complete for the past few months.

You of all people should know better than to assume based on video that things won't be changed, like the 10 or so other people always come in to post about every update before the notes release.

I agree the state of these updates is absolutely tripe, but waiting for the actual information before forming opinion is a really easy concept that somehow is at a complete loss around the world. It's tiresome to say the least. To circle back though, I cannot recall a video piece ever featuring anything more than physical content, so I don't know why you'd think they'd start now.

I know PD will be PD but I really can't see them adding a big new feature like that, which going by what Nenkai has said is far more detailed than just adding a simple 'sell' button, and not including it in the update article. But who knows.

Please read again what I said:

Yes I could have been clearer in the first sentence saying "there isn't a rest" but I thought it was obvious what I meant from the context of the above, that I meant nothing else largely significant in terms of features, new tracks, etc. We all know that they can/will list new races in the patch notes, but they're not going to relegate anything big to only appearing there.

Even 'extra menus' are mentioned in the update article when added.

We all grew up with Gran Turismo since the very first one and we love the series. But how people can defend how PD treat us for years, this game is a joke and their policy too

 

[Neddo]

Has it ever occured that trailers for updates didn't include all tracks and cars?

 

[Samus]

Has it ever occured that trailers for updates didn't include all tracks and cars?

No. There is literally no logical reason not to include a track in an update trailer designed to hype said update. They always have before.

 

[Sezu]

This update has Kenmeri

Best update ever

 

[tankuroded]

To add more ammo to any false advertising related claims regarding car selling in case it didn't come in the update (which I do have feeling about it...), this blog post (while posted on a Sony-owned platform) has Kaz (with PD-related job titles) as the listed author.

Yeah, it's this one but posted on PlayStation Blog:

An Update to Our Players - Gran Turismo™ 7 - Gran Turismo 7 - gran-turismo.com

Dear Gran Turismo Community,Thank you for your continued support and feedback on Gran Turismo 7, your voices have not gone unheard. I would like to apologise for the frustration and confusion caused last week with our updates which resulted in not only a server outage but also adjustments to the...

www.gran-turismo.com

It doesn't add anything to anything.

 

[Neddo]

No. There is literally no logical reason not to include a track in an update trailer designed to hype said update. They always have before

I seen that even wet Spa and Tokyo were in trailers so no even that stuff in update

 

[hardvibes]

I'm speechless. At this point I don't even think we'll ever see a GT7 Spec 2.0.
This is all they got.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

I am a bit disappointed again. I am assuming (wrong of me, but based on trends) that we will have an hours worth of menu books and that will be that. I'll find myself wishing I had more credits to create custom grids.

 

[Mathaios_C]

Incredible how gt7 right now can be considered the worse gt ever made. It is a joke. Just tons of events can save it right now

 

[Nielsen]

As always there are lots of update “reviews” before the full list of contents has been announced. Not that I’m expecting much, but let’s just calm down until tomorrow.

 

[Neris__]

At this point it is a norm for PD that they don't create good content for this game, they are stable with content dripping since 1st patch so if you still have expectations and you are surprised then it is on you 🤣

I will be surprised when there will be a good patch one day but I have 0 expectations at this point.

 

[mynameis66]

Is it possible they are not showing the full content?or is that me being optomistic. I always hope that they drop something good in the patch notes,however after their`im so excited`tweet last month it doesnt bode well.
