I feel like they have essentially made the same game they made 20 years ago. As far as single player goes. Slightly different but pretty much the same concept.

I really don't get that impression when I play this game.

The real difference between GT7 and all the previous numbered entries is that you could start a new game and have a completely different experience each time. Here, none of that is possible, everything is locked down and strictly on rails. Buy these specific cars, then those ones, repeat, etc.

And that’s not to mention the fact that starting a new game requires creating a new account (since it is impossible to delete your save file due to the mandatory online connection); a task that is a far cry from simply adding a user on the old PS3, for example. Besides, I really wonder how we’ll be able to add new users to our current consoles once they’ve been disconnected from the servers...

In my opinion… it has always stuck to the exact same core loop: start with a cheap used 💩 box, pass frustrating license tests, win races, buy a faster car, and repeat.

GT7 holds your hand through it, the other ones didn’t. But it’s essentially the exact same in my opinion. It never felt like some kind of career mode. GT Legends was great, you earned the cars, you had to choose carefully for specific championships. You had practice and qualify and then race.

Gran Turismo could do away with chase the rabbit etc. I get that the older ones were more open ended but it’s literally the same game, like I said GT7 just forces you a specific way which they shouldn’t have done. But I’d gladly take single player like GT legends over the randomness of gran Turismo.

At least now in GT7 we’re actually getting better sounds and physics. Finally in the year GT7 released, the cobra sound is at least on par with Gt Legends.

I don’t think we’ll agree on this anyway. I’m stubborn too and I believe they’ve pretty much just updated graphics and sounds each release and tweaked some stuff here and there adding in new features.

Fitting that they're using Super Formulas for that Sugo race since this year's Super Formula season had Igor Fraga finishing P3 in the Sugo round.

Yep, no Nissan R92CP as the theory would've suggested.

Also the track seems to be going by a slightly different name for the live event compared to the Spec IV info page: "SUGO International Racing Course," rather than "Sportsland SUGO."

It's following the same naming convention as the "Autopolis International Racing Course" back on GT Sport, though in GT7 that was shortened to just "Autopolis" so I presume "Sportsland SUGO" may still be the in-game name on the World Circuits map.

On a slight tangent, Super GT are having their race at Sportsland SUGO this weekend (20th September), so that's pretty neat.

So I've finally ended up here in this thread with my current dilemma. Some of you might have read my PS4 has died yesterday, there's a PS5 on the horizon and from what I've heard and read so far, the biggest part of my game data will be provided from the PSN cloud storage as long as I use my same old PSN account.
That does however not mean that I don't have to do a standard full install of GT7 on the new console. Is that correct ?
So what I have to do is create a log in to my old PSN, install the game and then hope everything syncs with the cloud ? Right ?

Thanks for your help guys - for most of you this all is a breeze I guess, not for me though. Thanks.

Your progress transfers over no bother; you could, if you have two working consoles, even go from one to the other and back repeatedly in the same day.

None of your tunes, photos, replays, or liveries transfer.
 
No way to carry over liveries ?

You could (but I guess can't given that yours popped) share them and then download them to the new console.
 
What about decals that I made myself and made them accessible via decal uploader ? Will they be lost, too ?
Not that they're especially great but ... :D

I'm guessing your decals should be fine. Since they appear on gran-turismo.com they must be stored on a server somewhere.
 
Something I noticed in July's #GranTurismo7CarScene posts is that one of the background cars in the pictures (the Nicola Pizza Tundra) has a "YO" on its tailgate, referencing the Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story 2.

It's just a Scape isn't it? The car would've just been parked there when they took the Scape photos. It's meaningless.

I agree it's meaningless and I'm not exactly sure why it's noteworthy, but that Tundra (and the Land Cruiser) have been put there deliberately as GT7 models, it's not a background car in the Scape.

The pizza decal is a GT fictional decal from the livery editor.

That Sugo track looks like it will be such a pleasure to race on. I bet a lot of folks are excited about this new update.

It still can happen for the Finals viewer campaing in december. Right after second part of spec II

The theory was centered around the 4 stealths (GT-One, 787B, R92CP, R390) of GT4, so the car we were waiting for was the R92CP, which would have meant they went for a full recreation of the lineup. Obviously, to give away the R390 stealth in December, they had to include R390 itself. Now, with the Formula and Ford GT, it looks like the theory is well dead and buried unfortunately...

No.

They already expanded Stealth cars with Mazda Gr3 and 911 GT3 and Ford GT and Ft Vision.
Also this is obvious that they need to add R390 first before adding Stealth variant. They couldn’t add this one now because it is not part of upcoming update. It couldn’t be revealed before October 3. This makes perfect sens to add last batch of stealth cars on the finals with R390 GT1

Offcourse this is just theory/prediction don’t take it too serious but it is definately not dead yet.

True, there have been other Stealth cars, though the pattern was that the Manufacturers Cup ones were always a Gr.3 (which makes sense as it's on-theme), but the Nations Cup ones were looking to follow the GT4 secret black car roster up until Singapore.

While technically possible for both of the 2 remaining car slots at the Grand Final event to be the R92CP and a R390 GT1, the Manufacturers Cup one would most likely remain a Gr.3 car as it always has this year.
It would be odd for the R92CP to not be chosen for the Singapore live event if the pattern was a legitimate hint/teaser. Why have the Super Formula replace it, just because it's being used in the SUGO qualifying race? It's not like the car in that race is new, only the track.

While I would love to see the Nissan R390 GT1 return at some point, I now doubt this theory is the way it happens. It already seemed like a bit of a stretch & tinfoil hat idea, but it's likely just a funny coincidence with the Toyota GT-One & Mazda 787B, now that there wasn't an R92CP for Singapore.
But I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, it was always "it's worth keeping an eye out to see if this third car keeps this speculative trend" rather than "this is definitely happening".

Also, on the other side of the rewards, anyone else think the Ford is an off-piste choice of car? Ford aren't in Manufacturers, and they aren't particularly close a partner to PD in the way manufacturers of the campaign cars usually are.

Not saying it means anything whatsoever, before anyone reads too much into me saying this - I just wonder how they came to choose that car specifically as the giveaway.

I found it very odd as well. The Porsche and Toyota Made sense (even if the latter is abit old), but this is definitely a strange choice. Only thing I possibly could see is maybe this is a modern take on the GT LM Spec II Test car livery, otherwise Its a odd decision. Surely they could made one for the Ferrari with a livery that makes a "Stealthy" reference to the real life AF Corse cars.
