SiC Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Message from Kaz Quote 2022/03/18 To all our users: I wanted to explain what happened in this update. Immediately before the release of the 1.07 update, we discovered an issue where the game would not start properly in some cases on product versions for the PS4 and PS5. This was a rare issue that was not seen during tests on the development hardware or the QA sessions prior to the release, but in order to prioritize the safety of the save data of the users, we decided to interrupt the release of the 1.07 update, and to make a 1.08 correctional update. This is the reason for the delay. My sincere apologies for the late report to everyone. Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward. In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions. At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices. I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again. We will in time let you know the update plans for additional content, additional race events and additional features that will constructively resolve this. It pains me that I can’t explain the details regarding this at this moment, but we plan on continuing to revise GT7 so that as many players as possible can enjoy the game. We would really appreciate it if everyone could watch over the growth of Gran Turismo 7 from a somewhat longer term point of view.

Popular Post seblegamer Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 And not even a little free ticket or some credits for this epic fail ? I know it was offline for only 24 hours ... but still ! ^^' Many games give players a little something when things like that happen 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preciseRNG Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 a little something would have been indeed nice to give to the players ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi-San Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It might have been offline for 24 hours plus, but it was largely unplayable for over a week before due to the bugs in 1.06... I was frozen out of licences and any events where I had won a prize car for all that time, meaning very little progress was possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ACOLDGHOST_ Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 Do I understand the problem and the resulting need for server maintenance? Yes. Do I believe that GT7 will be made a better game in the future through updates and content expansions? Yes, I believe even that. But the reason why credits were reduced for certain events in the game.... Sorry, but can't take it seriously. "I want players to enjoy many cars and races in GT7 even without microtransactions." And that's why you reduce payouts for almost every race imaginable in the game? That's totally contradictory, isn't it? And if players want to run the same race over and over again? So, what? It's up to each player to decide how and when to race. Because everyone defines fun diferently. I have no understanding for that at all. Sometimes realism has to go. At the latest when it gets in the way of the fun of the game. I couldn't care less if vehicle X costs just as much as it does in real life, if that means, that I have to drive 1 week to get it. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and even worse when you consider that even if it were true, the part " if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again" is extremely messed up. Basically if this statement is true, he's saying "Play the game how I want you to play, not your way". Terrible statement on their end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkSkelington Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 They're sort of taking the realism thing to a cringe level. It's a video game, no one cares that the prices match real life. If they wanted them to be realistic then 95% of the cars should be unobtainable because only millionaires can spend 6+ figures on a car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyMixLipa Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The entire statement sounds like one giant contradiction. There's no reason to cut the rewards, if someone wants to grind credits out then let them. Kaz just wants the MTX money and to dictate how people play. Rediculous excuse for a statement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyswfc9 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Imo (and its just my opinion) i think people need to stop bitching about the devs reducing the rewards and enjoy this great game. Maybe the devs want us to play this game for more than a month. A quality game like this does'nt come around too often. They are quickly fixing the main problems in the game which is the main thing. Im sure someone will find a new way to quickly farm credits anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure someone will find a new way to quickly farm credits anyway The problem is the game lacks so much content. I've beaten just about the entire single player game already, and there's nothing else to do besides grind for credits for the expensive cars (and online, but im not a huge fan so I'm not rushing to do that). This isn't a live service game, so why should we have to wait for months or years to actually receive the content deserving of a full priced game? It just doesn't make much sense to me. The gameplay and graphics are fantastic, which is why people are complaining. We were promised the "best GT game ever" and what we got was a GT Sport sequel with less content. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give em chance what I’m saying is that they put out a statement but have done absolutely NOTHING that complements it, but instead have done everything to contradict it put another way… what have they actually done that “avoids a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again” ??

Maybe if i wait 6 months or year and come back to see again if there is something to enjoy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malachi1987 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 When will the internet know to keep this stuff quiet. Everytime multiple places reveal an easy way the next patch always screws that up. I also don't get why people think a game should instantly be finished in a week or 2. Game like this is something should be enjoyed for a long time and not just for a couple weeks. Plus it's not like there isn't other games to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant play multiplayer because you have no cars? How as that happened. Im not being funny, just curious.

kontommi Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 is possible, but if you want to be among the 10. You have to have a certain car in a certain category and certain tires etc, the basic game doesn't give them all. there has to be a lot of cr that can compete in daily races. repeating the same race is really boring.. there is far too little to do in single player into a full game.

They probably made those decisions based on their own data of which races are being repeatedly run, rather than by reading PSNProfiles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
