I’m good with the cafe, GT7 is made for all types of racers, the “online always” is wrong—GT7 win game of the year? Ok, I tried to tell people it could win. PS5 is only on its first GT game, think about the PS1, 2, 3 and 4 which had multiple GT games.

Having got gold in everything, I can't remember the last time I played a game which was great yet wasted so much of its potential.

The UI, presentation, loading times, gameplay, graphics and what not are all top notch.

The driving tests and missions are fun (although I wish they were more challenging and the 'pick your own car' ones suck).

But the campaign absolutely shits the bed. The cafe menus are a great idea but every race being a glorified overtaking simulator against braindead AI starting 30 seconds back? It's pathetic.

Then you have amazing weather transitions which are barely used and even the rally part of the game is there for what exactly? A very minor complaint but the soundtrack sucks too.

If the game actually had good AI and racing whilst utilising its variety in weather, off road, car types etc. it would be the best track racer ever made in my eyes. What a shame.

I finished and got gold in everything with 25.5 hours of driving time. It’s insane this game didn’t launch with hundreds of races just copying over the GT Sport cups.

– When attaching a replacement steering wheel such as the Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2 on the Fanatec CSL Elite and Fanatec Podium, changed the ‘MFD Change’ function assigned to both left and right toggle switches so that the left toggle switch is assigned to the ‘Switch MFD’ feature.
– Various other issues have been addressed.

  • The latest update increased rewards in the events in the latter half of the World Circuits by approximately 100% on average.
  • Addition of high rewards for clearing the Circuit Experience in all Gold/All Bronze results.
  • Online Races rewards increased.
  • Added a total of eight new one-hour Endurance Race events to Missions. These will also have higher reward settings.
  • Increase the upper limit of non-paid credits in player wallets from 20M Cr. to 100M Cr.
  • The latest update increased the quantity of Used and Legend cars on offer at any given time.
Car Settings

Addressed a bug wherein selecting a part in the ‘Tuning Shop’, cancelling the purchase and then opening the Car Settings thereafter would make the newly created Setting Sheet’s name blank, and the Setting Sheet would reset.

Other

Addressed a bug wherein the App hangs during the loading screen at start-up, and rare cases wherein the App crashes when entering certain race events. Deleting and re-installing ‘Gran Turismo 7’ might fix those issues.

  • Added various multiplayer fixes.
  • Other minor fixes.
Note: The full changelog will be available soon.

Complaining works.
Polyphony Digital wouldn't risk and lose all the Gran Turismo fans like this when these games are supported for years. That's not a fanbase you want to piss off.

The photomode in this game is just car porn,
Everything is car porn about the game! I can watch the replay over and over again. It's not only the cameras, but also how the cars behave physically: weight transfer, suspension work, tyre surface and cornering force shifting that surface, the insights and infos about cars, manufacturers, designers, etc.

It's just so much fun to watch.

What do you guys use or recommend for free image hosting of .png's?

Also, I'd recommend to convert your pngs into jpgs before. At 98% quality the difference is not discernible anymore and yet you safe a lot of space.

I still dont’t believe this updates are response to player whining,GTSport had tremendous support with extra cars and tracks,would think they would do same with GT7,(my opiniões ofc),but players jumped the wagon too soon. This was already planned all along

You think they planned to reduce rewards for 2 weeks and then increase them again? Clearly at least that part wasn't planned. I'm sure a lot of the update was though.

About GTSport...it had support just like this one will as well. I really can't imagine them not adding new tracks and cars in the future.

They patched down the economy pissing people off and and just opened it back up after giving an apology. They probably couldn’t rush content out and only added some endurance missions.

It’s annoying the game lacks content and I finished everything in 25 hours, but getting paid dogshit for what is there was worse.

Still waiting for my C8s DLC to be added.

They need some older Buicks like the Grand National/GNX and Olds 442s. G bodies in general. Surprised Cadillac isn't in with the nasty V Blackwing as well.
 
Jesus...just saw a table with all the increases...they really went all the way, lmao.

Herman probably gave them a call after the mess that happened.

GNX would be one of my favourite cars of all time. Give me some Aussie cars too. FPV was in GT once upon a time

Just did the new 8 lap race in La Sarthe and got 825k for the 1st place + clean race. It takes 30 minutes, so thats 1.650.000 credits per hour to anyone that wants to grind this race.

In comparison to GT Sport, i used to grind a race that paid around 400k in about 15 minutes, so right now GT7 economy is on par with what was on GT Sport, maybe even better cuz you get also good rewards from the missions and Circuit Experience, even if those are just 1 time rewards and cant be grinded, its alot of extra credits for completing them with all gold, less if all bronze but still nice.

Thanks to the community that complained about the game economy, game economy feels so much better now. I just bought like 8 cars from the used car dealer, including a Lambo Diablo.

Hey man, they have freaking Daihatsu... who the heck rocks a Daihatsu other than Japanese Uber drivers?

But also, going off the past and what they used to have, lol.


Pure sex! 😍

I would love to see Holden too. Have a few car buddies who imported those instead of the uglier Chevrolet SS.

These rewards from circuit experience feel like an apology. I'm going to end up with about 30 million credits. You have to view each sector and then back out if you already have all gold like I have to get the rewards

Finally golded ia10, hardest gold so far.

Although my gold lap ended being dirty as hell, I ended up scraping the barrier early on and slided all over the place on multiple corners. Should have got a fail for that scrape lol but whatever ill take it.

Just going over the cars from my lifetime/childhood I’d like to see in this game, they are almost all missing.

Bandit Firebird - Yes
Night Rider Firebird - No
70s & 80s Camaro, classic Mullet IROC e.g. - No
90s Camaro - No
The 928 featured in Risky Business & Scarface - No
The Ferrari California featured in Ferris Bueller - No
Monte Carlo SS from the mid 80s - No

And like another 20-50 if I kept going. 70s, 80s and 90s in general need way more love.

Not exactly displeased with the selection (it’s fine) but when there’s 439 cars or whatever and you only care about 40 of them it’s kinda like wtf.
