While the game might not be ready for 2015, fans should definitely keep their eyes and ears open for a potential 2016 release, which is starting to look more and more likely at this point. Even if it doesn’t arrive during 2016 though, that would be acceptable, as long as the team takes its time and delivers something truly good.
We’ve seen multiple times already that rushing a product in the gaming industry is a very bad idea that often has long-lasting repercussions for the studio involved. Even if the game is subsequently patched, the damage done by a poor initial release is often enough to ruin its reputation forever.
While the situation with “Gran Turismo 6” wasn’t actually that bad, the game could have definitely seen a better release, and its fans were disappointed by the way it was handled in some aspects.
Now, the release of “Gran Turismo 7” seems to be paying specific attention to the exact things that went wrong with the last game, so we have high hopes for it, and a lot of trust in the work of Polyphony Digital. The studio still has the trust of their fans, and they obviously have a lot of dedication to get the game out in a good condition, so all they have to do is put their minds to it.
Gran Turismo should get rid of the “non premium” cars. Sucks playing a 2015-2016 game with 2004 shitty modeling cars, no interiors, etc… It’s better having 300 honest cars than 1000 fake ones.
No one is making you use the non premium cars. Getting rid of them won’t increase the amount of premium cars, so might as well leave them for those who do want them.
Standard Car defenders??? It’s LAZY, half assed design choices like that are the reason why GT has been left in the dust compared to other racers on consoles like Forza or Project Cars.
To even consider putting PS2 era assets on a PS4 game is downright criminal at this point.
I get it, there are “fans” who like driving those machines, but GT’s problem is that the more cars the merrier. No it isn’t. It’s too bloated at this point and having a segregated car list is just pure asinine and laziness purely from Polyphony. I’d welcome GT7 if it had less cars than 6 in the name of dumping those stupid standard cars at this point.
Let’s come to a decent compromise folks, elect 100-150 of those cars to look like car models that belong on a PS4 game.
The only things I want to see are more Volvo Cars, the current Volvo Cars to be made Premium, the windscreen wipers on the C30 to be fixed and more cars that people can cruise in (Like a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 Estate, 2016 BMW 530D Luxury Sedan, a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 Coupè, 1997/2001 Mercedes-Benz ML320, 1995 Jaguar Land Rover Range Rover 4.2 V8 County LWB to name a few) instead of hundreds of VGTs which come with a buzz upon release and then rarely get driven.
I also agree with Mastercow. I’d rather have some Standard cars as well as Premium cars in GT instead of strictly removing all of the Standard cars.
As for tracks, my one wish would be to have one track which you can design yourself. A little like Mt. Aso and Toscana (Tarmac) on GT5, only more advanced. After all, this feature isn’t unheard of… ModNation basically made a game out of that. Even if it isn’t a track you can make from scratch, it could be an open track in the form of City Streets, so the people who like to do Law Lobbies have the perfect environment to host those lobbies.
Anyways, that’s just what I want. I highly doubt it’ll happen, but I think PD should take note. :)
