Question, the country of an account currently its UK but say I moved to Ireland, can I change it?
Unfortunately no. I was looking to change my NA alt account to Europe but couldn't. Regret not doing it from the start.Question, the country of an account currently its UK but say I moved to Ireland, can I change it?
Sony, not PD. Sony is the publisher, and PD has to follow its standards in this matter.A small point on the future of the series but it's kind of annoying that PD have limited the games regions and the country flag displayed within the game.
UK, not GB.It would be a very nice thing if in future Gran Turismo they allowed us to pick our country in game as I would like to show that I am based in Scotland rather than the GB flag
I think the point was that other games allow for different flags in online settings. Dirty Rally 2.0 is another.Sony, not PD. Sony is the publisher, and PD has to follow its standards in this matter.

You get the UK flag because it's a country. Scotland isn't a country - neither is England, nor Wales, nor Great Britain. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the country, so we get the Union Flag.
They do, but they are not bound to Sony's rules as they are third-party developers. Playstation Studios developers - like PD - follow Sony's rules.I think the point was that other games allow for different flags in online settings. Dirty Rally 2.0 is another.
I can only think it's been in the write up of the car.Y’know how in the settings menu, you can see what sort of transmission the car has IRL, regardless of whether you’ve picked AT/MT? Like it’ll say it’s a sequential manual vs. a typical manual. Or how even when you’ve picked MT, it’ll say the Ferrari 458 has an automatic transmission, as that’s what it has IRL. Was that information included within previous GT games?
Sounds good. I was hoping that in GT7, that instead of picking MT/AT and having it apply to all cars, it’d be more based on the actual car, including the addition of being able to map a button on the controller for the clutch.I can only think it's been in the write up of the car.
Sequential transmissions were moreso in the Formula cars, Super GT, DTM, and various other race cars. The Tickford XR8 V8 Supercar used an h-pattern shifter. Not sure if that's mentioned in the write up or shown in the specs.
Gotta remember, those types of transmissions weren't mainstream until recent. Certain cars, like the BMW M3 CSL, had such a transmission back in GT4, but I'm unsure if it actually was spec'd with that transmission in game.
We were able to buy close ratio gearboxes and racing transmission. Can't remember if it said the transmission was sequential or that was to be understood.
"bang" and "hardcore" and "night" are all also censored. Whom ever does the censorship must not be native to English.What's the rationale behind censoring "engine"? Is it the "gin" (promoting alcohol)?
Which knowing PD's track record it'll happen about 2 years after GT7 releases.
I have no plans to jump ship to PS5 for probably at least 4 years
No I don't think so, I wouldn't have posted what I did if I did think so. I'm also not comparing it to battlefield. Thing is I and many others like me just got the game, and suddenly we must abandon it for arbitrary reasons? Because of 5 years? It's a horrible business model when you turn a product people paid for into a brick simply because it's old and/or because it has subjectively, not objectively, no "replay value".I mean, 5 years for one single game is more than enough don't you think? You can't compare GTS to games like Battlefield 3 or 4 with 9 and 7 years, respectively. GTS does not have the same replay value.
And how do you know for certain? Are you from the future? PS4 has had 7 years and PS3 had 8 years. The average trend is 7-8 years not 5.The PS5 will only have a lifespan of 5 years. Do with that what you will.

Imagine if you bought a $599 usd ps3 and waiting 4yrs for the mess that GT5 was... I guess some people do it.
No word. Here's a page to keep track - https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/gameservers/Any word on when will the support for GTS end? It'd be sad if the servers get shut down because it's basically an online game.
On the subject of updates this may have been touched on already but it would be nice to see an update with the new penalty system they plan on running in GT7... sort of like a trial run on Sport so they can tweak whatever needs tweaking before GT7 ever drops.

One similar game is Driveclub. Which was shut down this March, released in 2014, so after 6 years of support.
@Petroperu it's not just games. That model has now become the norm for gaming but that's how the tech industry has been for years now.
Remember when the Adobe Suite wasn't a subscription service? Every market is moving towards a paid "service" model.
