Gran Turismo Spec IV Thread: Autumn Ring, Sugo Circuit, and More

[Hlavco]

Is it really Gran Turismo without a pink Vitz?

Is it really Gran Turismo without a pink Vitz?

I'm terrified already. Thanks in advance for my next recurring nightmare, i.e. this pink thing beating my Lambo in GT 😨

TRD +Kaz approved and all

In GT3 the Vitz/Yaris race in professional league is one of my favorites even that I had to do some trial&error until I won the "Supreme" Tom's Toyota Supra! Despite the car probably is only the fifth-fourth best FR car in the game. I think I had to read the tune on GTPlanet to make the Yaris fast enough by changing toe & camber substantially!

I have a feeling the Yellowbird is going to be added in December for the following reasons:

1) It's a datamined car
2) It's historically significant
3) It's the perfect car for the whole anniversary thing.

I'd be pretty surprised if Spec IV doesn't contain such a popular car. Thinking the original R35 GT-R could also be in the update for the same reasons.

'07 GT-R my beloved

'07 GT-R my beloved

I know what you mean! Somehow, the original R35 has a special place in my heart. Perhaps because it was so different from the R34 and I generally love car designs from the 00s. Yes, it's slower and less efficient than the Phase 2 version but somehow, I like it better 😉 Can't believe they won't add it at some point.

I remember when we got the black mask version and Nismo '09(?). Maybe if we see that '07, we get an option for the front & rear coverings.

I think the lead up to the 30th is going to be loaded with goodies.

Again i dont want Bouncing Yaris or Vitz or Echos whatever their called... Its like a living nightmare..

 

[IngWeltschmer]

In Milan, they announced the viewer campaign on Friday May 8th (event May 23rd), in Tokyo they announced it on Tuesday July 28th (event August 15th), so we can expect to see the rewards for Singapore this week? And if it is what I saw you expecting, then the Grand Finale would be...

Not a Yaris/Vitz, but this was quite bouncy.

From here.

 

[Rossell2]

A lot of strong cheese has been consumed here it would seem.

 

[05XR8]

Speaking of anniversaries again. I wonder if this will make it in one of the two updates this year. PD haven’t added a new/newish VW in a while. The Desert Racer Beetle, in the Power Pack, is the latest, but not a model in Wolfsburg’s current real car line up.

 

[hawkeyez]

Was there an explanation why we’re getting autumn ring AFTER the snow falls?

what?.... i told you twice this is a living nightmare

Okay, talking about the car viewer again. For comments wondering how it differs from viewing cars in the livery editor. Well, I honestly assumed you can interact with the car's settings more with this viewer like how you can in the VR Showroom. Which looks like the case as there's an option for car settings and changing the camera. You could assume that it's just different camera angles, but I think we'll be able to view the interiors this way. Like how you can in the Forza games via "Forza Vista".

Though yeah, I don't think you'll be able to open doors and other panels. You can change the background though as shown here:

I'll put my bet on "Car Settings" being for something like that, seeing that in the Scapes there's a similar style menu for lights and stuff. Probably just active aero or such though.

 

[Nakano219]

If the car viewer is anything more than them porting VR Showroom to flat screens as-is I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Really feels to me like a "VR development at Sony is dead, let's get the value out of what we did with it while we can" kind of feature.

I would like to see car shows. Lobby parking lots people join, you walk through and when you see a car you like, go into some kind of showroom thing. Check it out. Talk to the designer, compliment the design and move on. I think that would be cool. And it’s car culture in a way.

I would also like to be able to manually spin other creators designs without having to save to collection and then load it. On somebody’s page, instead of the auto spin, let me flip the thing around and change the lighting just like in editor.

My thoughts on that.

I initially thought the cafe would be a meeting place for players. Talk about cars. Share cars. Drive sound like in a Lobby. Then,
PD added the Paddock.

That's where the Cafe, which I thought Cafe would be what the "Paddock" is, would come in handy with B-Spec.

However, Paddock, I feel, should be a place where players can swap cars and have a test drive.

 

[hawkeyez]

My thoughts on that.

I haven’t spent hardly any time in paddock. It wasn’t what I thought it would be.

I think why I’d like to manually turn people’s cars like in editors so is so I can see the roof and I don’t have to wait for the full rotation. On that note, it’s too bad scapes movies would also let you hit next. Even having all the replay angles that are in music replay available in regular replay. Idk game is mind boggling in-cohesive some times.

Maybe some of this will pop up in the Spec IV update. Who knows.

What's interesting is where Autumn Ring will be set in, perhaps Canada?

Every fictional original track has had a defined location, such as:

Deep Forest Raceway (Switzerland)
Grand Valley - Highway 1 (United States)
High Speed Ring (Japan)
Special Stage Route X (United States)
Trial Mountain Circuit (United States)

Maybe in USA (New England), Japan or England

...wont be USA, its called Autumn Ring, not Fall Ring.

I'm hoping that you're right on that. I assumed car settings would just have basic things like being able to turn on/off the headlights, being able to adjust things, and maybe convertible cars can have their roofs taken down.

 

[05XR8]

I was thinking that as well. Especially the convertibles or certain cars with Retractable Folding roofs that may be added sooner than we think.

I think RF means "retractable fastback"

Correct!

What about Ridiculously Fast cars being added sooner than you think?

I was mainly referencing all types of folding hard top convertibles, but the sly (Mazda)RF(not a folding hardtop ) was indeed to reference the ND from the datamine. The jig was up.

I'm gonna advocate again for South Korea. Korean automakers are increasingly involved in GT7, but the country has no circuit in the game, and the Asia-Pacific map is a bit sparse in that regard.

Yes, that's where I was 100% sure in my head canon it would be set, before someone mentioned New England and the scapes in Vermont came to my mind...

Edit: on a tangent note, while I was losing myself in the beautiful Korean landscape you posted, I tried to spot some signage in the Autumn Ring photo to see some language hint like a real GeoGuessr pro and I noticed one thing: the pit lane of Autumn Ring Mini is still there, so that could be taken as confirmation that it is still going to be in GT7 (some were speculating that "traditional" would refer to AR full and the newly expanded would be built on top of it, losing AR mini. Judging by the photo, I'd say this is not a risk though)
