forameus Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 This opening credits/video sequence is delightfully up its own arse, isn't it? Tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I take it tuning up is quite important for online then? I just took a standard vehicle on for a race and more than half the grid was about 5 seconds a lap faster, my cars seem a lot slower, I didn't think I was that shite at the game. It's going to be a costly game in terms of using credits tuning up every car for an online race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be a lot of evolution/development in Sport Mode for various reasons but it's going to be much more reliant on the car than the driver imo, and that's not a good thing. I'm guessing you also started from scratch with a DR E rating which you have for the first five races you do before you get put into normal matchmaking, so if you're getting beaten that badly by people at the same level then it's definitely the car. Maybe you a little bit. 1 hour ago, Mr. Brightside said: I have all gold for the licenses, apart from the last one. It's brutal. Can't wait to get to this one tbh, I think I've only done one license so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folk want to tune up cars for the challenges and missions let them wire in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folk want to tune up cars for the challenges and missions let them wire in. Absolutely they should. I don't know how much time you put into GT Sport but the tuning races were all meta-focused around a tune or a car. The tuning (and the parts) in GT7 seem much more varied and sophisticated but if there aren't any daily races or championship races with fixed setups PD are even dumber than I thought and they're going to ruin one of the best things Sport Mode had going for it. It's a bit hard to judge them on this in the weekend of the game's launch so hopefully there's some variety in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I had a quick google of the tracks and cars in this game and there doesn’t seem to be much new from gt sport, is it worth getting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. More tracks and cars are going to be added (which if Sport is anything to go by will be a lot) and the customisation options for cars are much better and I think the driving is much deeper and better too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm working my way through the licenses and have got all gold in National B and all gold in National A, right up to the hairpin test in the white NSX. I swear to god i'm going to end up smashing my controller into a million pieces on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised so many people seem to be struggling with this one, I found A-10 much worse until I watched the demo and realised I was in the wrong gear. For A9... watch the demo. It probably helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed the ghost settings to the demo rather than my best time and turned off a load of traction control/assist stuff as it was hindering me getting the power down on the exit of the hairpin. I found A-10 to be much easier to get Gold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else will slow you down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fiddle with the traction control from test to test depending on how I'm getting on From what I've played so far pretty much any road car (except 4WD) needs it, and some race cars do. The TCS in GT7 seems to be much more effective, realistic and less restrictive than it was in GT Sport so I'm still getting used to it, but it's definitely something that can and should be used. 1 or 2 for road cars/wet, that's usually enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
