Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Nebuc72]

That's your issue with that post? Not the part where PD has to write down what cars are in the game?

Maybe that explains all the dupes in the GT4-6 era? They simply didn't write down they already had an MX-5 and kept adding more.

do you think they used an A4 exam paper pad or a post it?

M = Car

M x 5 = 5 cars?

Haha I didn't understand most of it actually lol.

I mean I know what coding means, one of my friends from a gaming website is a developer of a game and he has to use Javascript and coding sources to make it playable to the public. The trick for gt7 is PD must decide on a car and then start coding/developing it to make it playable and useful to the public/community. That's the point.

Yes, in order to put a digital car into a racing game, PD must place the appropriate code into the appropriate place in the existing code. This is not far from saying "in order to get oxygen into your bloodstream you must suck air into your lungs"; not exactly insightful.


I want to know more about PD having to write down all the cars in their game... like they don't have any digital record of any kind and they'd somehow... forget?

Looks like an obscene gesture to me....

What? Why? What gesture is it looking like?

I think PD should add the offline livery editor because livery editor is now part of GT Auto unlike in Gran Turismo Sport which made it; it's own separate thing.

I think an offline livery editor would be a great idea.

In the forza games for an example, You still have your livery even when the game is offline.

That way livery data (local and downloaded liveries) will be saved to the system storage instead of the servers, much like every Forza game.

Yeah, I think this should be pitched to PD and I think it would be a great idea.

There isn't a swap for the 370Z.

What do you mean, it's right there?

 

[RPR6143 RPG]

If I was the person doing the GT7 updates, I would add an offline livery editor, so players won't be upset over the liveries being deleted like with GT Sport.

Agree. As far as I understand the problem is all that data is storage on AWS servers and not on our consoles, but they should be able to download the data to consoles when closing servers

Yeah, they should. There's a lot of people who work hard on their liveries; like me & others.

Well that spoils my next surprise that the 370Z isn't even in the game...

I've had it on the Master Car List as "370Z", instead of "Fairlady Z (Z34)", for over three years on purpose - and without anyone noticing - as one of several trap streets to spot who's copied our car list. It may surprise you to learn how many places do.

I adore this car so much, I'm very meticulous about changing oil after after race I run, but after building a 950pp setup to take on Gr1 events - needed a full engine and chassis refresh.

*Okay, yes it's only down to Normal but it's only the second time this has happened, the first being my Nissan Group C car that I use as an 800p monster.

Drove a Ford Shelby GT350R up to... 6,200 KM / Approx. 4,000 Mi or something of the sort, definitely basic numbers I think but I would over-maintain it. Would the Engine / Body start wearing if I only changed the oil? (I'm super meticulous about oil changing every 250-300 KM / 160-185 miles.)

B-but GT Auto is just for haha useless car wash and oil drink, should just be removed rather than being kept as useless nostalgia!

 

[05XR8]

Right when Gran Turismo debuted. The game has everything in the video.

 

[Reeneman]

Are we going to see an update next week?

 

[jlbmel]

Are we going to see an update next week?

Only PD knows when the next update is coming.

 

[PSN offapple]

May 1st at the earliest if they keep releasing on Thursdays.
That would technically mean they'd have skipped April entirely, though a similar number of days will have passed as normal.
We might get in a pattern of updates releasing at the beginning of months rather than at the end if that's the case.
Remains to be seen.

This cycle always ends up happening the last few years. Skip a month, early release the next. Wait until the end of the month, so over a month has passed and release another at the end of June or so.

An update on the first day of the month would be a first, right? (no pun intended)

That is a good trap, and if I'm not mistaken, other trapped entries on that list include

Spoiler

🕴️Nothing in particular🕴️

Very nice.

 

[Ande3200]

I think its possible with an update early in the month it has happen before. Not as common but it could happen.

I would be open for paid dlc if we get more perfomence/supercars to the game.
But i doubt pd go that route. Should be close for new track soon witch i think will be the last one for gt7.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I'm finding very funny that I can drive the Nissan R390 road car in Forza Horizon 5 and Motorsport as well as the Nissan R390 GT1 race car in Project Cars 3 but it hasn't come to GT7 even though a lot of work went into improving the standard models in GT6.

Thing is... If they were to introduce new supercars to the game it would be via a standard free monthly update. It's clear they aren't planning any paid DLC at this point.

PD "won't go that route" because of the myriad complications of licensing and producing the cars which appear in the game, not out of pure choice. It's been discussed ad infinitum by now

 

[RPR6143 RPG]

One major difference with GT Sport & GT7 is that you can buy paints with credits instead of milage points which is another reason why I think PD should do an offline livery editor; being part of GT Auto instead of its own separate thing like in Sport.

Well, they don't work if people point them out...
