Can't wait 🙏🔥

Any info if the car audio will get an overhaul for SPEC IV?
 
I think PD heard the angry reactions from people seeing the completely changed grand valley, maybe moving fowards any classic tracks they bring back will have a new bigger layout and one layout either 1:1 to the original or really close

You be as condescending and aloof as you like and get high on your words, but I made no judgement on you as a person in any of my previous comments, but just commented on your opinions on the two tracks that were revealed. You having a lack of anticipation or excitement for something is negative. You can rightly comment on anything I posted. I didn't comment anything to the contrary of that. So don't think you're getting one up on me in that respect. It's extremely puzzling for someone who has no excitement for this new update that you still are hovering around here trying to dice your words. Surely you can join a forum on a subject you're excited about? Or maybe you're just bored and enjoy the attention by trying to stand out by giving a divisive and I'll repeat, negative opinion.

Lack of excitement for something does not equal being negative. Indifference is generally lacking both negativity and positivity. Stop trying to bait a reaction, stop telling them what to do and move along.
 
As much a I love the Autumn ring mini I hope they have the full track and an expanded layout. I have fond memories of both layout but I used to really enjoy the full layout. If they add Midfield and Apricot Hill sometime in the future that will be awesome!
 
All of this stuff and yet not one thing. NOTHING!!! About curbing and dealing with the real problem in the game. Dirty drivers. I have literally been run off of the game. Cannot play in any servers due to a team full of bullies who chase me down every server I go to To wreck me out literally make it to where I can't even complete a full lap and wind up the entire race of laps behind when the race is over. And these people get a kick out of it. I have left the game and have been gone for over a month. Moved on to PC gaming and miss dearly. My Gran Turismo racing but even though I've moved into PC, these people still come to my channel just to cause me troubles and I'm not even in their game. And yet Playstation polyphony digital and Gran Turismo do absolutely nothing about this kind of people in game. These idiots literally run the entire us server if they feel like you have done them wrong in any way, you're a Target and you remain one and then they blast you all over YouTube on their channel. Making fun of you making an example of you having their entire team attack. You has literally gone as far as them somehow getting a hold of my IP address hacking my Facebook pulling a picture of my wife in her bathing suit in our kitchen. Posting it on their YouTube page and asking if their members are enjoying. If you understand what I'm saying the picture, I'll let your imagination go with that one, but they asked a certain question I've been doxed and had envelopes of creepy stuff with no return address sent to me in my personal home mail. I'm talking one envelope with burnt ashes. Another envelope with a lock of hair of God knows whose hair or what it was. And yet they give us this stuff and don't address the real problem. Congratulations polyphony digital and Playstation! And Kaz, you're going to allow people like this to kill and destroy your awesome legacy. I have been with Gran Turismo since gt1 It's painful to have to leave it
 
Kaz,

Looking forward to these updates.
 
I guess it's safe to assume that new tracks will most likely be added in future Spec updates.

I wasn't at any point trying to bait a reaction, but just reacting to another comments. Maybe I'm naive in believing there is something for every in this update, but I guess not. I have moved on and drawn a line on the matter as I'm looking forward to this update. Full steam ahead.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV: Autumn Ring, Sugo Circuit, 12 Cars, Shuffle Racing, and More​

As revealed in today’s PlayStation State of Play, Kazunori Yamauchi has announced the next major update for Gran Turismo 7: Spec IV. The update is so large it will arrive in two parts, this October and December.

I'm glad to see two new tracks. Autumn ring is a good pick, prob not everyone's first choice but still a good one.

There are so many original tracks they could add back, no licensing or scanning required. I realize cars and tracks are two different teams, but personally I would like to see tracks higher up on the list. Compared to what GT earns, I would think a small dedicated team giving us a track every quarter should be doable. If I had a theory, my guess would be Kaz is more excited about new cars than old original tracks. Yet, between a dozen new factory cars and one old track, I'm going to pick the old track every time.

Hope I'm one of those players after the 3.1bn Cr. spent on the 14,132 cars I bought.

I thought I had a lot of duplicates for tuning, but I've got 12,000 less than that. I don't think the levelling system can do anything meaningful for you anymore, besides maybe a leaderboard. What on earth would the level 10,000 reward be?
 
Amazing to be getting Spec IV. This game has some legs. Ive barely played since Spec III however. There are tons of cars in the game that id still love to have, but i simply refuse to grind for them. I lap the ring for my own leaderboard and thats about it. Doesn't bring in the credits.

I’m really interested in the Car Viewer mode because GT7 doesn’t really have a way to freely look around the cars. You need VR just to access the VR showroom. For those of us who don’t have VR, this addition is really great!

I just realised this is perfect for something I'm working on. like it would get slightly repetitive over time (for my thing, I mean, because you would notice the same backgrounds, but that's okay overall given the circumstances). There are at least two backgrounds I believe, this studio one and a desert-type one.

I think they probably have a few different background options. At the very least, there should be some from the VR Showroom that are already modeled.

I don't reeeeally see the connection to my posting. If you mean that players who play GT7 long time would be very likely to be consumers of the next title... yeah of course... but I don't have to play Witcher 3 for 11 years to be very much looking forward to Witcher 4. Players playing a game for an extended time period need to make the developer money, not with the next entry but the current one. Or it's not interesting for the developer and they would be a lot more focused to bringing more new titles faster and not supporting one for so many years.

lol, I actually meant to quote on the post above yours and I didn't notice until now! my bad

But if there's no Autumn Ring Mini, why have the starting line and the pitlane for it? Very confusing... :boggled:
Click to expand...
I suspect the other pitlane is on the revised section outside the "Mini" layout.

Autunn ring mini with low pp cars will be awesome.
i didnt knew sugo circuit, but the layout and elevation changes seems a great track.

I'm honestly surprised we're even getting Sugo seeing as Kyoto Driving Park is pretty heavily based on the track, but certainly doesn't hurt to have both of course. And a huge win for any Super GT and Asian racing fans in the audience.

They are actually very similar tracks though, both with long straights with elevation in the Japanese mountains, and a nice hill with a crest on one of them. They also both have a tighter technical section, but the one at Kyoto comes a bit later in the lap instead of being the first complex of turns like in Sugo. Also Sugo is pretty narrow whereas Kyoto is quite a wide track.

Aside from the tracks, I think honestly the feature I'm most excited for aside from Shuffle Racing (which will no doubt revive GT7's lobby scene almost singlehandedly for sure) is the car viewer.

As someone who spends hours customizing and creating liveries, I can't wait to finally have that feature ported over from the VR mode. It's such a simple and tiny thing but makes a world of difference to those who actually like to admire their work, or just anyone who wants to view their car in some nice lighting and scenery outside of the blank livery editor backgrounds.

I'm also very intrigued to see how the LCD concierge feature works. I'm guessing it's essentially like getting to "summon" the car, and the game gives you a countdown until the day it does appear so you can save up and prepare, then once it does you have a set window to "catch" the car before it's gone again (but a much shorter one than the LCD itself of course).

Great to see the 2CV returning. Curious to see what visual mods will be available for it.

I used to play lobbies a lot back in GT6 (and GT5 a bit) and I'm definitely hopping on with this. Might even see if I can get an old buddy to jump into a lobby. He plays GT7 but not sure if he plays online. Maybe this could be fun.
 
Okay so I have come back from the dead, haven’t been logged in for like 3 years. And I just wanna say that I’m soooooooo happy Shuffle racing is back. That was my favorite feature!

- The first 6 cars are slightly underwhelming if only because previous "Spec" updates had so many classics like the LFA, FTO, Espace F1, 296 GT3, 911 GT3 etc. We already knew of the Mazda GT3 Evo and the Xiaomi VGT, the minivan and the 2CV are cute but novelties, the Civic is cool but also a lone wolf race car. Don't mistake this as a complaint, but maybe this means they're saving a few bangers for the 2nd half of update?
Click to expand...
They're almost certainly saving at least one, probably two since there's two events, nostalgia pops and/or modern GT3s to draw a reaction from the GTWS crowds the way they did the Espace F1 last year.

I have my suspicions as to what one of them is, but I want to see what the Viewers Campaign Stealth Model rewards are for Singapore before I'm fully sold on my thought process - the logic requires it to be a specific car to continue a theme.
 
I think Autumn Ring Mini is a given. They didn’t announce Grand Valley South in the 1.29 trailer but we got it; and Autumn Ring Mini is even easier than that as it’s just a cut through. The full layout too was a very small track, so I expect that will be several courses, if you include the reverse versions.
