Kaz is looking at you because no one knows what most of us want 😁

😄 But I guess we can agree that it's neither VGTs nor SUVs😉
BTW: It's not made by me, found this on Reddit today.

I know, I say "you" to the character who says "Why are you looking at me like that Kaz" ☺️

Seriously I am sure too, maybe there is a minority asking for VGTs and SUVs but that's it.

 

[juanffy18]

Everyone knows what will be become in the next update. VGT and something more else and that's it.

I'm guessing this is just a bad joke you're making.

PD should do this for offline players as well.

In anticipation of the Gran Turismo World Series 2025, Round 2 in Berlin, we will bring the excitement of the live event directly into GT7’s Sport Mode.

I always felt the Sport Mode races should be available to Single players. Especially now since PD been doing the Weekly Challenges. It’d be an opportunity to let Single players have a chance to experience Sport Mode instead of spending real money for PS+.

The time trial is available to single-player players.

You mean that we should have access to sport mode races without PS+? I don't think PD could do that on their own and I don't think Sony would allow it.

No, just setting up the same races in Single Player. We can do it in Custom Race, but just set the Sport Mode races up as Weekly Challenges for Single players.

There's already the same or better versions of these Sport Mode races for single players.

WTC 800 at Nurb 24 hours (single player is 3 laps whilst that joke of a Daily is just 1).
WTC 700 at Brands Hatch.
Not sure what (presumably) road car they're using for Sardegna but there's a few races on that layout.

Okay then, 2/4 tweets now?

Hasn't it been three already?

Afaik they've posted the Corvette VGT, the Afeela and now the Avantime.

It’s not about it being better, it’s about doing the exact races from the World Tour. We got the Red Bull races from the World Tour. Give players that wouldn’t and have never experienced the normal World Tour events a chance to do the same races without going online. It should have been like that every World Tour since GT Sport to now.

The time trial is available to single-player players.

Yes, I have been doing the Time Trials for a good while since no longer having subscribed to PS+.

Edit:
The Opel VGT should be cool in VR with the proximity warning.

I think you meant to post this in the Forza Motorsport thread

2.5

They've done the CX and the Avantime. The Afeela is weird, in that there are posts about it but not the standard ones.

There probably won't be a VGT post - the Skoda and Gr.1 Genesis did not get posts last year.

 

[Mike Hamilton]

Opel VGT presented by German Youtuber. Also, some gameplay.

 

[Mathaios_C]

They introduced the Skoda and we were expecting some old Skoda cara but nothing….and same it is going to happen with Opel unfortunately

Maybe those more typical vehicles won't be coming at the same time as the VGT, but I'm hoping the VGT basically opens the door to other models being added. This could mean within GT7, or in the series future in general. See also: Volvo.

i dont know why i feel like this, but i have lost all my intrests to play gt7.

Feel like it has become so sterile. And they are not doing enough with the updates to keep it fresh.

Get back into older games like command and conquer generals, some mods for resident evil etc, Carx street, and given Tokyo xtreme racer s go soon. I must say i have had way more fun playing some of those titles campared to gt7 lately.

I agree. GT7 crappy (game) design makes it get boring so fast, that not even the desire of completing everything 100% makes it midly interesting. Also most of my favorite cars are missing, but that doesnt make it totally boring honestly, you still have 542 cars. But damn they messed up game design with this title, also you can see theres no clear idea for the game, or if there was any, it was poorly executed. Lots of contradictions by Kaz and their team.

Poor design indeed.

I started collecting extra 70s vehicles during this summer holidays to make a custom grid and prepare good endurance races with them. We are now mid-September and I'm still waiting for a Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) '73 to show up at the LCD. Apart from the quick discovery of updates, that was my basic gameplay experience on GT7 this whole summer break. Launching GT7, see if a car I need was at the LCD, turning off the game.
And every time I see certain cars showing up, I tell myself that if I need one for a future race and I don't buy 10 of them RIGHT NOW, I'll be screwed for the next five months. Debilitating....

I did nothing else and I'm slowly starting to get away from the game again.

Agreed, updates can‘t fix fundamental flaws in the game‘s design, they would have to remake the entire „career“ mode (if you can call the menu books that) from scratch.

Creating liveries and scapes are the only reason I‘m still playing this game but I can totally understand how GT7 would turn stale pretty quickly for people who primarily play it for the career and a sense of progression.

I have around 2000 hours so i have played it a lot. But i am ready to see the next chapter.

I have about 100hours but what really kills me is how much grinding you have to do to get credits. making credits hard to get whilst making cars expensive to simulate "real world economics" misses the mark of what a "real racing simulator" is supposed to mean in video games
