I'm sure GT's perfectionist leaning make the reasons behind it worse, but city courses are barely in games at all these days, it's not just a PD thing.

I assume the biggest problem is that none of a city course's assets are re-usable - every building has to be unique in the way that something like trees don't, so you can't get away with any asset re-use. This is why a ton of open world games take longer to develop in the 4K era, it's four times the fidelity per asset than 1080p and that factors in to dev times.

So I wouldn't be expecting more than one city course anytime soon unless there's some kind of tech breakthrough that makes 4K assets easier to develop.

I think it is Kaz’s obsession with real world accuracy. There must be hundreds if not thousands of city-type assets that already exist within GT7. I’m sure with some recolouring, rotation, a couple of new textures, etc., a more than convincing city-type location could be created relatively easily. Of course the negative being it wouldn’t accurately depict a real-world location but does anyone really care about that?

I'm gonna make a solid bet we'll get a lot more city courses in GT8, as I hypothesize that the lack of them in GTS/GT7 is due to hardware limitations. I'd guess something similar for multi-class racing and larger grids overall.

Yeah, well it's PD's decision on what tracks are featured in gt8. I'd like to see some more technical and a couple new rally tracks. Maybe even something similar to Apricot Hill. And the type of hardware is an issue too for what can be added to the game. But all we can do is hope for the best.

I mean, on the topic of circuit accuracy & reused assets, there's still billboards for Spa & Le Mans at Suzuka, and Suzuka advertising at Le Mans:

Though interestingly there did seem to be some kind of official cross-promotion going on between Suzuka & Spa at the time:

Yeah, it's so weird that it blows my mind. Didn't know that about Suzuka and Spa, didn't even see those banners out there on the track over the past 3-4 years. (GT Sport/GT7)
 
I didn’t know where to ask so i ask here. I have collected all the cars. I have completed and golden every event. I have transformed and swaped lots of cars. Basically i have done and played Gt7 in every possible way for more then 1100 hours 😂

So i was thinking to start to play Gt7 again from the start but with all the new cars and features from the beginning. Someone did it? And it does change the experience or not?

PSVR2 is what you're looking for.
It's a transformative experience and, in my opinion, the best way to understand what GranTurismo is all about.
 
Sorry that I can't find a specific bug report thread, but I just noticed something. It may have been noticed before but I don't know.

At some point in one of the updates, they removed the ability to change the wheels on the Genesis X Gr.3. This was something I had done for pretty much all of my designs on the car.

These wheels did used to fit normally, however now it seems that they are visually glitched, with the spokes protruding significantly from the tyres as if it were some form of amphibious vehicle.

I don't know how or why this happened, but I really hope it gets fixed and we're allowed to apply custom wheels to the car again.

...except for the American Racing TTF, somehow:
 
Is it just me or is the update 1.59 am hate/love update? Hate, because loading times sometimes are very long and on the ps5 the same like on the old ps4! Love, because in normals races (no sophy!) competitors makes mistakes and drive from the track direct in the sand.
That’s what I noticed.

I'm on PS5 pro and the loading times are the same fast.

My loading times haven't changed since the update (Base PS5). As for the AI (non-Sophy), they have always made little mistakes, and sometimes outdriven themselves into the kittie-litter. I haven't personally noticed any changes in their behavior (since Update 1.59), but I could be wrong.
 
I don’t mean the loading times in general. I mean, that sometimes for example after an race, the main menu is loading 10 seconds or longer, it’s so long, that was not that long before the update. Or when I just tuned a car and come back to the main screen. I also have a normal PS5 (CFI-1216A 825GB SSD + Western Digital Black SN850P 2TB SSD)

I've definitely not had that. It sounds like a connection issue.

Can't confirm. No issues on my end. I have noticed ZERO changes in loading times since update 1.59. You might be dealing with local connection issues. That's my guess.

The only time I have that issue is when I have the PS5 setup in the bedroom. Sometimes it loses connection back there but that was before the last update

Some kind of announcement is coming…pretty sure about it…just translate the tweet 👀

Personally wouldn't expect anything unless they officially post something similar to last year. Since it's one of the drivers posting (right?), it can be something involving them, maybe some kind of a short "movie" about previous GTWS or some funny Unimog race.

No he is a dev from PD. When i say announcement i mean also something involving sophy like it happened almost at every live event. We will see…just curious to put attention on the pre race show.

Oh alright, I thought it's a driver. If he's a dev then ye can definitely be something interesting. But weird they are announcing it like that. Well maybe official post is coming soon.
