GT Sport Update 1.22 Discussion Thread

[SlipZtrEm]

Gt6 Had Microtransactions though, and probably some of the worst value for money ever.

GT5's pay-for-single-use-paint-chips DLC says hi.

More explanation about the paid transactions :

I made a few statements already but I need to make my stance on MTs clear:

While there’s no real problem with an option for monetary purchase, non-F2P games should never be designed in such a way where it is impossible or near-impossible to earn base content, either via ridiculous time commitments or because of gambling/rare loot box chances.

If the 10-20 mil cars were up for grabs in the store this would really be pushing the line, but it isn’t - everything in the store is fairly easy to obtain in game through normal play.

These new payment options do concern me a bit, but as of yet I see no problem in it’s current state.

I think there will be an extra Mercedes W08 F1 for custom liveries.

EDIT: Only colors can be changed.

Definitely not a big fan of that track, too long, too much corner, it's a mix between the Sotchi Autodrome and Singapour.

Is it a combination of town and countryside?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I'm delighted to see that Sainte Croix is substantial in length. I wonder what time of day options it has though.

When you buy the Mercedes-AMG W08 do you get 2 versions? The regular and the Colour Variation?

I hate PS4 OS so much...

A little bit, less of a town. The corners are interesting to drive, the map itself might need a little overhaul. Looks very greyish from start/finish line to the bridge.

They are two different things, you have to buy each one they aren't one buy. I don't like it too but I guess whatever works.

Trying to mess with the racing suit livery editor... It looks like we can't customize the entire racing suit.

F-150 Raptor Survival: Fisherman's Ranch and Sainte Croix - A II
Group 4 Cup (Is this new or old?): Willow Springs (Big Willow), Tsukuba, Suzuka
Lightweight K Cup: Maggiore Center, Tsukuba, Tokyo: Central Outer Loop

Mercedes AMG Grand Prix: Sainte Croix - A, Nurburgring GP, Suzuka

ENDURANCE:
Porsche Cup: Sarthe (60 minutes)

It appears that my beloved internet is going full slow-mode for the rest of the day. So my update will be finished in 9 hours. THANKS!

 

[Spongeinside]

If there are 2 versions, 1 that you can’t paint and 1 that you can, I don’t think a lot of people would get the non paintable version.. unless you’re really hot for the standard livery...

If they're gonna add microtransactions, they should save it for the cars that cost over 2 million. You know, the ones that actually take time to earn the money for. If the Ferrari is 20 million I'd be willing to bite the bullet and pay a few real dollars but not a dollar for something like an AMG GT I can earn the money for in less than 15 minutes.

At my most extreme I'd say microtransactions should be illegal. But limiting them to the cheaper cars is a stupid way to implement them if you're gonna have them at all.

Counterpoint. No it isn't.

Thinking about it really, would the Mercedes F1 really be in Gran Turismo if it wasn't for Lewis Hamilton?

What is it with Polyphony and designing absolutely vile fantasy tracks in the French countryside?

I'll find out in 8 minutes, but what's wrong with it, in your opinion?

 

[Mightymurph22]

Should just buy the paintable one, cause someone is bound to remake the livery anyway hahah and just download it

New Mercedes F1 trailer.

Oh I am also glad that the driver names on 787B were corrected.

I've got the update installed but sadly I'll have to wait another hour to actually fire it up; the servers are still down for one more hour on my end.

 

[mthomas_95]

I don't want a mixture of "geometric" and 90-degree corners. It looks like one if those randomly generated layouts on GT5's course maker you'd instantly skip over or smooth out desperately to try and get some sort of flow.

They’re asking for the meme treatment...
