Sophy AI now supports tuned cars, tire wear, pitsopts, fuel economy, etc. Not to mention custom races( note: custom races payouts were increased last year).

Pretty sure this all but confirms that gt8 will only have Sophy AI( for entirety of single player including campaign). Tire wear, fuel and pitstops were the last remaining hurdle.

Edit: Someone recently made an updated campaign for gt7 using custom races. This update makes it even better

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I love that GT has always had more “obscure” vehicles but why the fuck would I want to drive a CX30?

 

[Kvally]

Sophy needs a ton of work, and they are slow. But I continue to love all these other updates. I hope they continue to add Cafe Menu's for the rest of the generation of this game until GT8 at least. I am a fan of the Aston Martin Vantage '18, so that is a nice addition.

 

[scydrex]

WTF with those vehicles? Seriously... much better and coolers cars are not in the game. This update and the last one sucks with the choices of vehicles.

 

[Loomy]

LMAO a CX-30.

Either Mazda paid for this or someone on the dev team really wanted one, but had to buy an HR-V instead, so they put it in the game so they get to drive it.

 

[SkyHighTrees]

Yall complain about the cx30 but not the kangoo

Well the excuse is there saving all those cars for GT8.

We will see.

 

[RyRy93]

I don’t care if the Kangoo and CX30 suck for a racing game, it adds variety to the roster rather than another GT3 car or sports car not too dissimilar to multiple cars already in the game

 

[Bond007]

Cant say i enjoy alot of the extra cars they put in. I appreciate it, and they are free so im not knocking it.
But whoever vets these choices needs to reevaluate lol

Allowing users to create custom campaigns in game could be interesting.

Polyphony could get away with with their poor attempt at campaigns.

Another GT3 car? you act like if PD adding GT3 cars is common the last gt3 car that was added was over a year ago.

But I see why add a car like the 499p that has won Le man 2 years in a roll over another Honda civic.

Yup it is very rare additions.

I think they really need new additions to the GT3 and GT4 lineup.

Sports modes is a big seller for gt7 and it heavily relies on those class of cars.

Also some of the longer offline races are fun with those cars.

I just got the game this last week. Still haven't tried Sophy working my way through the menu\cafe thing they have going.

Agree.

Myself I'm not big on GT3 cars but when you see that Ferraris GT car is a GT3 car from 2013 you have to wonder why there not updating that.

In fact more tracks have been added to GT7 then GT3 cars have and yet users like the one I quoted act like GT3 cars being added is a common thing.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

0:08 my car is here.

Only is a Cx5 Grand touring

 

[R6Rider]

Some day....some day.

 

[SSfox]

I just want this, C'mon Kaz san

 

[ValiantInstance]

Haven't played the game since I had a macro running to farm credits at launch. Might give it a go again soon.

For people who've played both, is Forza Motorsport worth a go?

I haven't played the newest Motorsport, but it's NOT worth it according to basically everyone.

Maybe some of the older titles though.

I'll stick with GT then.

Think I played it too much when it came out. I was really proud of getting all the S license challenges done and felt I'd completed it after that. The one with the formula car around a wet Spa was one of the most challenging things I've ever completed in a game.

 

[viveks86]

I will be SHOCKED if this week's online time trial isn't the Kangoo...

Does Sophy work in the rain yet? How many more tracks left? If they throw in an optional bonus multiplier to race against Sophy in all their world events and tournaments, this would practically make it a whole new game.

 

[Insane Metal]

So PC version when? Please?

 

[bender]

So PC version when? Please?

 

[yogaflame]

Thank you PD, I love GT7 and continues to enjoy racing with Gt7. But I hope too see more Ferrari. And at least one new track. And for fun maybe some monster truck

 

[Hookshot]

I've seen Citroen 2CV racing before but not Kangoo's on the track.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Renault Kangoo is just the kinda fun stuff I like to tune the hell out for shits & giggles.

 

[Skifi28]

So PC version when? Please?

Like clockwork.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I've only just discovered there's a whole Kangoo subculture in Japan. I would imagine they'd add it sooner to please the fans of this model from their local market. Really cool pick, I think it's the model's first appearance in any racing/car game??

 

[Icymanipulator]

Will this game ever get the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50?

So many cool cars still missing.
