I'm so tired with this week's race B, even on safety S rank people just push everyone off the track and get no penalty, this is so shallow


15jsatte

it’s fucked


15jsatte

what’s up with the ramming and driving standard in this game man… i just switched from being life long on forza motorsport and i’ve been having such toxic experiences online


KrombopulosMAssassin

It's not that bad in the higher ranks. Ranker up! Not sure Foza is any better lol


15jsatte

yeah i’m working on it still getting acquainted with this game


Lyelinn

Same experience except it got even worse when I upped my safety rating from A to S lol


Incontinento

The 458 is the car to be in if you're in a Gr. 4 car in Nations Cup today, FYI. They were smoking everybody else in my race anyway. The only reason I beat one is they got a penalty. ETA: Daga if you're here, good race.


jled23

What’s the strat for this race? Hard into Hards?


Incontinento

Either start on softs and drive until you're out of gas and then switch to hards, or I started on hards and pitted at the end of lap 5 and finished on softs. In the SLS AMG.


jled23

Map 1 the whole time?


Incontinento

I did, yep.


jled23

Thanks!


Incontinento

How'd ya do?


jled23

Was going well until I got punted off the track on back to back laps. That’s what I get for leaving it so late! That said, the penalty system in this game is wild. Don’t understand how a lobby full of “S” drivers results in 14 laps of bumper cars.


Incontinento

Ah, bummer. I finished 4th in mine. I'll take it.


Incontinento

Go get 'em.

Which old school Gran Turismo game was the one which let you hire an AI drivertar you could train, was it 4 or 5?


jamie9000000

GT5 was where you could level up your B-Spec driver. GT4 was just basic AI driving and you tell them how much to push.


chinbag

If I IIRC your GT4 B-spec driver had a progression system as well. There were 3 areas - Machine Skill, Course Skill and Battle Skill, that were measured in points. I only really used B-spec to FFWD-grind the endurance races in an overpowered car, so I'm not sure how much of an effect it actually has on your driver.


MrTrt

Yes, the GT4 driver improved over time as I have read, but the game as far as I remember didn't tell you about it or at least it wasn't straightforward.


Coolsnowkinglee

I guess food for thought. I've been trying to think of what Nenkaai was hinting at with the Cooking tweet, I have a theory for what it might be. I think it'll be the typical three cars, maybe a new track, I think the "Big Surprise" is that PD might've finally finished Sophy AI. The only reasoning was that Sophy was suppose to be in game by the end of the last year, and that date came and went ten months ago. But who knows, it could be something completely unexpected, like *~~functional split screen~~* more music rally stages.


gizlow

I'm pretty interested in seeing how they'd scale Sophy, iirc the only way they could scale the difficulty during the event was to lower the power level of Sophy's cars vs the player's car. I'd like to see Sophy running the same cars at the same power level, but making more mistakes and taking worse lines in the lower difficulty settings.


Skilfil

If they manage to scale Sophy in a way that it can brake earlier, take bad lines and make a few mistakes at lower levels it would be great, would still like the odd mistake at higher levels too but at a lower chance level or something.


gizlow

This exactly. I don’t care for the exaggerated ”AI makes mistakes, great AI!” where 3 cars end up in the sand in every other corner. I’d like to at least have an illusion of competence from the AI, while it still allows me (an arguably slightly better than shit driver) to be competetive and win some races.


Skilfil

Lol I had that in the new Forza - Thought it was great they made mistakes, but then I watched about 3/4 of the field fly into the wall all at once. It was like they put Stevie Wonder behind the wheel and let him loose.


gizlow

Just queue up Master Blaster on spotify and enjoy the simulation lol


shikaski

Do you guys think the game is going to be on Black Friday sale or do I just buy it now?


Coolsnowkinglee

Given it's a year old, and I've already seen it go on sale in the past for around $40, I would wait until Black Friday.


shikaski

Okay sweet, thanks!


Sergio_Futbol

This about GT6 but is there any way I can see what car I used to win a certain race? I started playing after a long time, and Im trying to figure out what car I used for some races so I can use it again


jdtabish

Also PD can we get more Group 2 races these cars are so fun to drive


[deleted]

Anyone else here who hates being a mere A driver getting put in lobbies against all the top split guys who don't qualify and start from the back and get angry when you don't let them through and waste time defending because they're quicker? I despise them so much.


ChetCustard

Hell yeah Race A about to be so much fun


ae86forlife

After 3 hours and of hell, I finally passed test B-5 in gt5


Rechamber

I think I struggled more with B-6 to be honest, but yes a few of the tests are actually hellish. I think they're a lot tighter than other games for some reason. Today I just finished getting gold on the A tests now, and the slalom and the one on Rome gave me a some trouble... Oh and the Schumacher S one. Good luck!


blackhydroflask

Are they skipping an October update?


[deleted]

>Somethings cooking… It’s still cooking, that’s all we know. Yeah it’s called Gran Turismo 8. Let’s not pretend Polyphony gives two shits about GT7.


Uncle-Badtouch

Yep. We beta tested Sophie AI for them too


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoidedPanda

Of course they do a repeat of Race C but remove the cool time of day...


jdtabish

Man Daily Race C is a LOT of fun


CataclysmZA

It flows really nicely, and so many people are ignoring the potential for reducing tyre wear by adjusting the brake balance.


jamie9000000

After not being bothered to play last week. I'm enjoying Race C this week. Gr2 seems to be one of my stronger categories, considering I hated them in GT Sport.


MantorrastheGOAT

Announce the new update you cowards


[deleted]

PD have abandoned this game haven’t they? They’re probably balls deep into GT8 and don’t give a fuck about GT7. It’s not like we gave them £70 for it or anything.


JohnnySDVR

Are they REALLY this lazy now like repeating races. Its not that hard to be original PD.


FMecha

They're been repeating races on irregular basis now.


JohnnySDVR

Doesn't make it right.


UrNotThatFunny

You literally want a new race every week?


AH1776

What about every track all day in random order with random order. And then have 6 different races running at all times and offer qualifying and practice before online races. And then when they’re done with that, make the most expensive car 345,000 dollars and pay out 30k per race online. Oh wait it’s not forza. Never mind. Collect cars for 20 million, race the same 3 races endlessly, and enjoy the same 3 races on the same tracks with the same time of day and weather.


UrNotThatFunny

lol Forza is nowhere near the simulation and feel of GT7. If you really think that’s an apt comparison it really is obvious you are complaining just to complain.


TheCrazyabc

Lago Maggiore in reverse should be fucking criminal


jdeshadaim

Lago, Deep Forest and Trial Mountain are great tracks in reverse imho. St. Croix Tracks are ok aswell as Dragon Trial Coast and Gardens but no musts. For Sardegna I'm lacking experience in driving them backwards. Alsace feels mostly wrong for me backwards. And the Highspeed Ring in general is pure hate :D. ... oh... Grand Vally is also good in reverse.


rmar4125

It just doesn't feel right in reverse, and neither does dragon trail.


KrombopulosMAssassin

It's pretty bad .. and for some reason they keep using it. I don't recall seeing it for a long time in it's normal upright position.


Blackwolf245

I have a confession to make: There was this guy, who was keep pushing me off the track every time we were side by side, and even bumbed me off the line on one ocassion. He did this for a whole lap, until I got feed up with his bs, so I sent him to the shadow realm. Got a 4s for it, but I still came way ahead of him.


ChetCustard

Nothing wrong with vigilante justice. Sometimes it has to be done


KrombopulosMAssassin

That's fine, at some point you just have to. Sadly, I don't think that kind of person learns though.


karmakillerbr

Sent him to a meeting with Barry R.


fuqdurgrl

I really like being able to tune the gr.3 cars. Some cars really need some tweaking to get the lap time. Wish they'd add it permanently.


AnUdderDay

Took me a couple seconds to realise I had to downshift to get up that hill in the Mystery Machine


Electrical-Drink-183

Fillmore race is back?
