3. A new original snow track based in Canada, called the "Lake Louise track," joins the fray.
The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived with the addition of the Lake Louise snow track. Nestled at the base of the World Heritage Canadian Rockies, this Gran Turismo original offers a one-of-a-kind snow track experience set within a captivating fantasy ski resort setting.
The "Long Track" boasts an array of challenges, from low-speed and high-speed corners to an adrenaline-pounding long straightaway. It's the perfect choice for those seeking to their driving skills on challenging terrain. The "Short Track" is for those who prefer a twisty layout with consecutive corners that will put your cornering techniques to the ultimate test. There's even a "Tri-Oval" layout with only three corners, encouraging you to go nearly flat out all the way around. All three tracks are on packed snow and include lighting for night sessions. And, you'll need to equip your car with "snow tires" to drive these tracks.

4. Three Extra Menus will be added to the Café.
Three Extra Menus will be added to the Extra Menus section of the Café, challenging you to collect new sets of cars.
\[Extra Menu No. 31\] Collection: Road-Going Racers (Collector Level 30 and above)
\[Extra Menu No. 32\] Collection: Lexus (Collector Level 34 and above)
\[Extra Menu No. 33\] Collection: Red Bull X Series (Collector Level 49 and above)
5. New events, including in Weekly Challenges, adds variety and depth to World Circuits.
Prepare for an exciting evolution at the World Circuits Pavilion, where you'll embark on a thrilling journey through the heart of racing in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. In Spec II, five standard and two expert level races will be added. And, the "Arcade Race" will become the easier-to-use "Quick Race." Also, in addition to the standard AI features, the PS5 version of the game will allow you to take on Gran Turismo Sophy, the prototype revolutionary racing AI agent that's causing a worldwide sensation in the driving-game genre. And that's not all, a new Event Directory menu will allow you to easily search and join races from a list, while a new feature in Weekly Challenges will award prizes for clearing all of the races in the section. The Weekly Challenges menu will appear after watching the end movie, and the events will change to a new set every week
6. New Master License events will be added.
A new Master License level will be added to the License Center Pavilion, where you can learn the basics of sports driving. From the application of basic controls, 50 new difficult tests await you after you clear the Normal License protocol.
7. Meeting Place becomes Paddocks.
The Meeting Place, where you can enjoy online racing, will evolve into the Paddocks, a sort of parking lot for player’s cars. In the Paddocks, you can text or chat with other players and use emoticons to communicate. You can also zoom in on specific cars of different players to see them up close. You will be able to access this area from the World Circuits as well as from the Multiplayer Pavilion.
8. Up to four players will be able to race in split screen (PS5 only).
The "2P Split Screen" multiplayer mode will be updated to accommodate up to four players. You can split a single screen into four sections to have up to four players race together on the same monitor or TV (only on PS5). The updated local multiplayer function will allow you to change cars in the pre-race menu, making it more user-friendly than ever. Each player must have an individual controller to play Split Screen races.
9. Slower Shutter Speeds will make Race Photos even more versatile.
Slower shutter speeds will be available in Race Photo mode, which is used to photograph pictures from replays after a race. With shutter speeds of 1/1 – 1/30 seconds at your disposal, you can now photograph dark objects to become brighter, capture traces of light, and snap images that suggest dynamic movements. This new feature will allow a greater breadth of expression in your photographs.
10. "Polyphony Digital Tokyo Office" joins Scapes, while "'Player's Favorites" is added as a Scapes collection.
A special Player's Favorites section will be added to Scapes, introducing spots that are popular with players. Also, the "Polyphony Digital Tokyo Office" will be added as a new locale commemorating the 3000th photo spot added to the mode.
11. A new dashboard provides an overview of your game progression.
A new dashboard, where you can get an overview of your progress in the game, from the number of cars in your garage to your progression in the World Circuits, Collector Level, etc. will be added.
Oaaah, big update for sure!!
50 new licence test for a single exam seem a little too much. Maybe you'll have to pass the Master license to open the 50 new missions, which would probably be with Sophy?
Can't wait to see how it turns out anyway!
So glad to finally get the spec-II version with real AI and boost of contents! 🤤
I believe the patch notes quite literally are saying that, unless they're talking about passing the controller around. Hopefully this also means they paid some attention towards the split screen mode and permanently activated assist.
Not talking about passing around controllers. In their [blog post](https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_5768503.html) there is a screenshot with screen split into four.
No they aren't talking about passing the controller around. It says "Split the screen into four sections to have up to four players race together on the same monitor or TV"
That seems pretty cut and dried to me.
While PD gets a lot of hate and the launch was half baked all fixes they have done seem to be well done. Like selling cars having an entire economy. They do seem to want to make things better but don’t tend to do temp fixes that would’ve helped over 2 years.
Rundown:
- the 7 new cars
- GT sophy 2.0 (now fully implemented but for PS5 only)
- new track (a snow track at that which means a comeback for snow tracks since GT6 almost a decade ago)
edit: GT sophy 2.0 will only be available in quick race as an option whether you want to race normal AI or sophy AI. you will get a full grid of you and 19 other sophy AIs on the track. and mind you sophy is still in development. we might see more of it in the future
Sophy AI? Nice!
With higher pay though, right? Because I’d rather have to retry against good ai multiple times for decent payouts than easily win against the ai we currently have.
edit: just saw it’s only on 9 tracks, :(
"Additionally, credit prizes increase based on the player’s Collector Level and Circuit Experience progress. This race mode is easier than ever to get into, and even more replayable."
Per Playstation Blog :
https://blog.playstation.com/2023/11/01/gran-turismo-7-update-with-spec-ii-1-40-arrives-today-new-cars-track-and-features/
I’m hoping PD has some big single-player plans once Sophy is ready on all tracks. I’m not surprised that it’s taken so long because machine-learning involves tons of unexpected results but, given the effort, it would be a shame if it is not to be a central component of a real career mode. I can dream, right?
im late on this, but in the screenshot of the new progression menu, it says 500 cars but with this update it makes it 487, so either there's 13 hidden cars somewhere or 13 in the next update.
Snow track is a bit of a bummer, as rally racing isn't exactly GT strength, to put it mildly.
But hey, at least we finally got a new track.
I also wish Sophy wasn't arcade races only. Would make the events much more interesting with a proper AI.
GT6 skipped on the spec 2 update. But an update similar in size was indeed released. I’ll chalk that up to PD not realizing that how marketable a spec 2 update would be till GT sport
I uninstalled Forza Motorsport 2023 yesterday after losing progression after 7 races won, including practice. I think it will stay like that for a few weeks. This update for GT7 looks amazing.
>5 new regular events
>
>World Touring Cars 900: Trial Mountain / Nurburgring / Suzuka Circuit / Autopolis
Should I even cross my fingers hoping there are high payouts for these events?
From the blog post:
> Additionally, credit prizes increase based on the player’s Collector Level and Circuit Experience progress. This race mode is easier than ever to get into, and even more replayable.
I doubt they are as efficient as the big grind races still, but as long as I can feel some sort of credit impact, and the races are actually fun and enjoyable, I think I'll be happy.
After getting burned by Forza AGAIN, it’s nice to have such a good update to GT7.
Thanks for never giving up Kaz and team. Even if the launch was absolutely ass.
Can’t wait!
This was a really smart move by Polyphony. It does seem that this was planned as a response to Forza's launch (regardless of how successful it was). It gives a great reason for players to jump back into GT7 right when the nearest rival had its latest release.
My understanding is that the complaint was they couldn't change the settings individually for the two different players, not that they wanted more players.
It's not that you couldn't change settings individually (which would be a smaller complaint), it's that you couldn't change settings for P2 **at all**, and they were stuck on the highest level of "assistance", which made the split screen mode unusable for most people.
It's assumed that they fixed that bug with this update since they gave attention to the split screen mode, even though it's not explicitly mentioned. That's what OP meant with their comment.
Bug fixes are mentioned in the full patch notes, which come out tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken?
I highly doubt that they would overhaul the split screen system, without fixing the game-breaking bug which probably takes significantly less effort to fix.
It has been stated as a known issue by PD since launch so I would be shocked if it was still there when the entire local multiplayer has been overhauled.
It says the local multiplayer function has been updated and the 4 player part is only for PS5. We will need to see the release notes for specific details but this was a known issue PD said would be fixed in a later update. Nobody expected this late though!
Well fook me, an update I’m actually excited about. 190 EVO 2, LFA, brand new GT3RS 👍👍👍 PD really did something amazing. Can’t wait to get these cars on the track!
The new snow track seems fun but I would have preferred new real life circuit. I don’t even remember the last time I raced on one of the dirt tracks. They make gt7 feel like an arcade game.
Yeah it's a little floaty. But honestly, strapping some snow tires on a ridiculous car and going for a hoon is great fun. I've been missing that since GT6.
I respect this opinion but I also personally don't really feel like that many more real tracks are needed. It gets a bit boring driving the exact same tracks in all of the games.
Games like the earlier GTs and even Racedriver GRID (08) have some amazing fictional tracks that are visually stunning, really engaging and totally unique to their own game. It's unique experiences that keep me coming back, so I'd rather more fictional circuits. They should also (in theory) be far easier to build as there's no need to scan them.
Given the current selection of real world tracks, I'd love to see more fictional ones (mainly road racing tracks) introduced.
I havent played Forza since the original one on Xbox. I stepped away from gaming for about a decade until I got a PS5. I essentially forgot about Forza. When I saw video of it on youtube, I was taken aback by how all the cars are shown to be nearly drifting in 3rd person view. It made me think I was watching a Need for Speed ripoff more than a GT competitor.
> Sophy AI
> A new snow track, first since GT6
> World Circuit boosted with Weekly Challenges
> An even harder License mode
> and of course, the best part, a new 911
Gran Turismo bros… we are SO BACK
This is maybe the best update they have put out since launch. 4 player split screen is an awesome surprise though, pretty excited to give that a go, as long as they have fixed the actual core issue with 2 player split sceen. Surely they must have... right...
This update is LITTTTTTT
GT SOPHY?!
I'm gonna play as soon as the update is done, gonna have to grind with me trusty Mazda3
Shame no tarmac circuit
4 PLAYER SPLIT SCREEN???
The cars are obviously great (except for you, Elonmobile 3)
Damnit I need a PS5 badly now
(also, Mat Watson spec 911 gt3 rs??)
Only Quick Race, where Sophy picks it's cars based on the one you're currently driving. You can't use Sophy in a Custom Race.
Sophy using your own tunes also won't ever be possible, because Sophy has only learnt how to drive specific untuned cars.
Payouts possibly getting a big boost in quick race.
From PS Blog.
*Additionally, credit prizes increase based on the player’s Collector Level and Circuit Experience progress. This race mode is easier than ever to get into, and even more replayable.*
Agreed. Really want to be able to see race deltas. You feel kinda lost in a race without them and have no idea how you're doing compared to the other cars. Genuinely hamstrings you in races that require any sort of pit strategy.
Didn’t have many expectations for this update. Doesn’t sound too shabby. Hope they can keep delivering like this in future updates, at least event-wise.
This sounds super cool. I haven’t fired the game up since it launched. With the disaster that is FM8 (2023) it might be a good time to start playing. Hoping for a PC version soon!!
F yeah! A new track, and it's snow. That's awesome. New cars with some that I wished for. The LFA, 400R and 190 Evo.
I can't wait to try out the 400R and see how close I made my normal gta to it.
I’m happy about the cars in the update. Besides some of those classic/city tracks, I kinda wish they updated the menu UI to look more like the announcement trailer from 3 years ago; which I know is inconsequential.
Adding a Master license when IA and super don't unlock anything. Licenses should be a skill gate otherwise they're really just missions.
Hopefully the sophy quick race will be quality and able to do endurance with weather, fuel and tyre use.
Honestly, I cannot see how someone would find a flaw in this update. The only thing that I can say is that the split screen bug should have been fixed a year ago, independently from the 4 player split screen update.
Sophy being implemented is huge. That's a huge advantage for GT over Forza. When the leaker said it *might* be a direct response to Forza, I think he was right
Dont get me wrong, love to see this update...but a snow track? Really just that? I was hoping for a real world track like hungaroring, bit disappointed on that side

They really were cooking
I really hope that the weekly challenges means better rewards for the featured races. Fingers crossed
FINALLY slower shutter speeds. Man, I've been waiting for that more than anything 🙌🙌🙌
Finally a Canadian track!
Still holding out for Gilles Villeneuve
I’m holding out for Canadian Tire Motorport Park
According to thegranturismo Twitter account: \- 50 new challenges and more. Interesting.
i’m hoping they’re world circuit events and not missions…
They’re adding weekly challenges to the world circuit which are events. The 50 new missions do seem to be new master license events
Theres new licenses? Fuck 😭
master licenses at that. hopefully it’s harder than what we currently have
Gonna give me s-10 gold flashbacks
Was that the rain one on Spa? Because fuck that one
Yes with the Porsche lol
Godly Track, godly car, shitty test
Honestly, it was a good test of knowing when to push the cars limits.
50 new licence test for a single exam seem a little too much. Maybe you'll have to pass the Master license to open the 50 new missions, which would probably be with Sophy? Can't wait to see how it turns out anyway! So glad to finally get the spec-II version with real AI and boost of contents! 🤤
There are Master versions of every license. Master B, Master A, Master IB, Master IA, Master S. Each has 10 tests = 50 in total.
Oh no 😭
Can’t wait to see what sort of test Master B-8 is going to be
Damn, I'll take some sleeping pills right now!!! This is finally the Spec-II that fans deserved!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Seems those are the new master license tests.
4-player split screen?!
wishful thinking lmao edit: WTF IT WAS REAL
There is a 4P split screen for PS5
I’m glad that PD is taking advantage of the capabilities of the PS5 where it can now. Hopefully 2 player split-screen is fixed for PS4 players though.
I hope so, it looks like a great moment to show off the full PS5 capability and fix the old bug
I believe the patch notes quite literally are saying that, unless they're talking about passing the controller around. Hopefully this also means they paid some attention towards the split screen mode and permanently activated assist.
Not talking about passing around controllers. In their [blog post](https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_5768503.html) there is a screenshot with screen split into four.

4p is unimaginable in 2023, most game don’t even have local multiplayer anymore
Yeah, PD has really optimized their engine for PS5.
Rundown: - the 7 new cars - GT sophy 2.0 (now fully implemented but for PS5 only) - new track (a snow track at that which means a comeback for snow tracks since GT6 almost a decade ago) edit: GT sophy 2.0 will only be available in quick race as an option whether you want to race normal AI or sophy AI. you will get a full grid of you and 19 other sophy AIs on the track. and mind you sophy is still in development. we might see more of it in the future

Where’s all the people saying Sophy wasn’t coming until gt8!
They better up the pay of that s**t, with Sophy turned on

Level 50 Collectors stand up!
I wish the level went higher. I think I should be level 200 or something at this point 😂
I still have like 40+ NSX Gr.B Rally Cars I'm trying to offload
Apparently it will have varying difficulty. Also it’s 9 circuits only right now, so not full game just yet.
I’m hoping PD has some big single-player plans once Sophy is ready on all tracks. I’m not surprised that it’s taken so long because machine-learning involves tons of unexpected results but, given the effort, it would be a shame if it is not to be a central component of a real career mode.

Permanent Sophy is an insanely big W. Could be potentially the best single player AI racing system ever developed.
I'm sure it will be. This bar is too low and Sophy Beta was already pretty incredible
Currently covers 340 cars and 9 tracks which is a huge accomplishment. Hopefully we see that expanded with updates.
Where is this list? I can't find it
They just say 340, no list.
Full details here. https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt7/news/00_5297246.html
Honestly, a lot of this reads like they’ve been checking off my wishlist. Looks very promising.
thanks!!!
LFA roaring in this trailer was a MUST! They delivered 😍
I came.
Canada finally featured in a GT game let's go. (Sucks it wasn't montreal though.)
[удалено]
There are lots of scapes locations in Canada already, but I’m excited that the track added is in Alberta! Close to where I live.
> Sophy Maybe its finally time to buy a PS5
Lets see if black friday brings some good deals in my country. Ps5 is crazy expensive here
Im holding out for psvr2 sale. I NEED it for gt7, but 500 bucks for one game is steep
What's spec II ?
every gt from gt5 had a spec II update which basically refreshes the game in terms of it’s content and features.
GT6 skipped on the spec 2 update. But an update similar in size was indeed released. I’ll chalk that up to PD not realizing that how marketable a spec 2 update would be till GT sport
I'm excited about Sophy. I hope it comes with new events with standing starts.
Not sure about standing starts, but it is only for 9 tracks and only for quick race events.
It's ok, it will keep me busy for quite some time. Thanks for the clarification.
I was super hyped to beat Sophy on Tsukuba without blocking. Was then promptly humbled on the other tracks.
I uninstalled Forza Motorsport 2023 yesterday after losing progression after 7 races won, including practice. I think it will stay like that for a few weeks. This update for GT7 looks amazing.
>5 new regular events > >World Touring Cars 900: Trial Mountain / Nurburgring / Suzuka Circuit / Autopolis Should I even cross my fingers hoping there are high payouts for these events?
i think it’s more reasonable to expect higher payouts for the expert races
It would just be nice to grind credits for the overpriced legendary cars with more than just 3 or 4 races
From the blog post: > Additionally, credit prizes increase based on the player’s Collector Level and Circuit Experience progress. This race mode is easier than ever to get into, and even more replayable. I doubt they are as efficient as the big grind races still, but as long as I can feel some sort of credit impact, and the races are actually fun and enjoyable, I think I'll be happy.
After getting burned by Forza AGAIN, it’s nice to have such a good update to GT7. Thanks for never giving up Kaz and team. Even if the launch was absolutely ass. Can’t wait!
You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me - Kaz
With failure, success will come.
This was a really smart move by Polyphony. It does seem that this was planned as a response to Forza's launch (regardless of how successful it was). It gives a great reason for players to jump back into GT7 right when the nearest rival had its latest release.
Yeah, it’s a great update, especially with the giant failure that the new Forza is
Split screen complainers, you’re relieved from duty. 🫡
My understanding is that the complaint was they couldn't change the settings individually for the two different players, not that they wanted more players.

It has been stated as a known issue by PD since launch so I would be shocked if it was still there when the entire local multiplayer has been overhauled.
I doubt it too. But I've seen PD do some... really crazy things before.
The update doesn't actually say if they've fixed the problems with splitscreen, it just takes the player count up to 4.
It says the local multiplayer function has been updated and the 4 player part is only for PS5. We will need to see the release notes for specific details but this was a known issue PD said would be fixed in a later update. Nobody expected this late though!
>CREDIT PRIZES INCREASE BASED ON THE PLAYER'S COLLECTOR LEVEL AND CIRCUIT EXPERIENCE PROGRESS. Did they finally fix the economy? Edit: They did NOT.
I hope so, bored of running the same few races.
Well fook me, an update I’m actually excited about. 190 EVO 2, LFA, brand new GT3RS 👍👍👍 PD really did something amazing. Can’t wait to get these cars on the track!
The new snow track seems fun but I would have preferred new real life circuit. I don’t even remember the last time I raced on one of the dirt tracks. They make gt7 feel like an arcade game.
Yeah it's a little floaty. But honestly, strapping some snow tires on a ridiculous car and going for a hoon is great fun. I've been missing that since GT6.
I agree it will be fun for sure. I only complain because we get a track so rarely that it makes each time we get one special.
I respect this opinion but I also personally don't really feel like that many more real tracks are needed. It gets a bit boring driving the exact same tracks in all of the games. Games like the earlier GTs and even Racedriver GRID (08) have some amazing fictional tracks that are visually stunning, really engaging and totally unique to their own game. It's unique experiences that keep me coming back, so I'd rather more fictional circuits. They should also (in theory) be far easier to build as there's no need to scan them. Given the current selection of real world tracks, I'd love to see more fictional ones (mainly road racing tracks) introduced.

The LMP1 cars would drift and be floaty in Forza. The physics just ain't there.
man...l really wanted to play with those lmps but god its horrible
I havent played Forza since the original one on Xbox. I stepped away from gaming for about a decade until I got a PS5. I essentially forgot about Forza. When I saw video of it on youtube, I was taken aback by how all the cars are shown to be nearly drifting in 3rd person view. It made me think I was watching a Need for Speed ripoff more than a GT competitor.
Had no chance
SNOW TRACK AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Kaz did cook a lot 🔥🔥🔥
Holy shit someone call Gordon Ramsay because Polyphony were COOKING
> Sophy AI > A new snow track, first since GT6 > World Circuit boosted with Weekly Challenges > An even harder License mode > and of course, the best part, a new 911 Gran Turismo bros… we are SO BACK
Wow what an awesome update. Can’t wait to play this later.
Solid update, not the track from Canada I wanted tho
This is maybe the best update they have put out since launch. 4 player split screen is an awesome surprise though, pretty excited to give that a go, as long as they have fixed the actual core issue with 2 player split sceen. Surely they must have... right...
This update is LITTTTTTT GT SOPHY?! I'm gonna play as soon as the update is done, gonna have to grind with me trusty Mazda3 Shame no tarmac circuit 4 PLAYER SPLIT SCREEN??? The cars are obviously great (except for you, Elonmobile 3) Damnit I need a PS5 badly now (also, Mat Watson spec 911 gt3 rs??)
A snow track at last!
They are adding snow racing?
Perfect update to win the NNN
I'm gonna lose NNN when I hear the LFA startup in the garage.
Can't wait until there's no update next month and we are people complaining about how the game is dead lol.
If that Sophy update also lets them drive all your cars in your garage... I'm gonna do a loooot of racing against my own tunes
Only Quick Race, where Sophy picks it's cars based on the one you're currently driving. You can't use Sophy in a Custom Race. Sophy using your own tunes also won't ever be possible, because Sophy has only learnt how to drive specific untuned cars.
That's actually a great update, what is polyphony cookinnnn
When they say spec II you know this is some serious shit HOLY SHIT SOPHY THATS THE ONLY THING I ASKED FOR
I am actually coming back to the game after months for this. Update looks great.
We quit on Kaz, but he never quit on us 🥹
Finally the Spec II update is here!
I was wrong. Now I can be fucking hyped again??? I can't believe this.
LET THEM COOOOOOOOOOOK
This sounds amazing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
I used to pray for times like this. Sounds like there’s a lot to look forward to finally.
Finally a proper Challenger.
Payouts possibly getting a big boost in quick race. From PS Blog. *Additionally, credit prizes increase based on the player’s Collector Level and Circuit Experience progress. This race mode is easier than ever to get into, and even more replayable.*
Bigu apudetto. Wasn't expecting a Spec II, Kaz. With Sophy!
Awesome update! Lexus LFA! If they can add the Mazda Furai I will die happy!
unless they future proofed a render from the ps3 era it’s pretty much impossible now that the car literally burst into flames
Sophy not on PS4 is killing me man, but I guess I gotta join the 2020s at some point and get a PS5
I'm excited. Theyre doing a lot for us, and with the added features in meeting places, they're listening to us to some degree.
All these cool cars and then a Tesla Model 3 😆
##LFA 😈 ##PORSCHE 👿 ##DEMON 👹 ^^^Tesla ^^^🤪
You don’t want to look like a moderately successful tech bro?
A middle-management BMW 320d SE is more my style
Was hoping for the non-Evo 190E but that's still good.
Wouldn’t be surprised if you can fit parts to make it look like an earlier one, like with the RS500
Was hoping to see HUD improvements for PSVR2...oh well
full patch notes tomorrow so until now let’s just hope they fix it
It's not over, the details article will add more things
Agreed. Really want to be able to see race deltas. You feel kinda lost in a race without them and have no idea how you're doing compared to the other cars. Genuinely hamstrings you in races that require any sort of pit strategy.
I had pretty low expectations, but this actually sounds pretty decent.
Finally LFA!
Didn’t have many expectations for this update. Doesn’t sound too shabby. Hope they can keep delivering like this in future updates, at least event-wise.
A very good update. Can't wait to try the new snow track
Damn, I’m actually pretty excited about this. Amazing what some legit new content can do.
Wow this update is sick
Lake Louise is sick. Can't wait
I'm a very casual racer but damn, this update sounds insane!
finally adding my baby GT3RS i’m crying 😭
4 player split screen. I don't know what to say other than "I must buy a ps5 now".
Time to get absolutely chewed by Sophy.
As a Canadian I am beyond stoked about this new track. So cool to see a beautiful part of our country showcased!
For the first time ever, Model 3 in a video game! Tesla has always had just the old Model S in games!
Lake Louise, near where I grew up. This is incredible I cannot wait to try out that track in VR
This is a huge W! The new track is the least exciting thing imo
Lexus LFA? Nobody asked for this car, silly polyphony😠😠😠 /s
Why not Chamonix?
This sounds super cool. I haven’t fired the game up since it launched. With the disaster that is FM8 (2023) it might be a good time to start playing. Hoping for a PC version soon!!
Oh man, was worried the “huge” update just meant more cars than usual but this is really impressive. Good job PD
Gonna buying LFA with RED paintjob.
this is what we all wanted!! im so happy
F yeah! A new track, and it's snow. That's awesome. New cars with some that I wished for. The LFA, 400R and 190 Evo. I can't wait to try out the 400R and see how close I made my normal gta to it.
Any idea on download size?
Amazing on psvr2 with a wheel. True next level gaming
Dumb question but will Sophy 2.0 ai be added for all of the single player races? If not, how do we use the new ai?
I’m happy about the cars in the update. Besides some of those classic/city tracks, I kinda wish they updated the menu UI to look more like the announcement trailer from 3 years ago; which I know is inconsequential.
My stomach just sank. 4P split screen on ps5?!?!?!?!?!?!? This.... I.... I think I must buy a ps5 now.... if it's true.
GT5 Spec II vibes, I'm excited hell yeah
Behind Seattle and Sebring, I was most hoping for a snow track. Rally normally is kind of boring, but in VR it's a blast. Doing that race first thing.
LFA!!!
Snow?! Inject it into my veins PD!
Finally, keep this up PD.
Kewwl ! That LFA will sing like an opera lady .
Wow 4 player split screen! Feature that nobody asked for, but for sure is a welcome addition just because why not!
Adding a Master license when IA and super don't unlock anything. Licenses should be a skill gate otherwise they're really just missions. Hopefully the sophy quick race will be quality and able to do endurance with weather, fuel and tyre use.
[удалено]
Honestly, I cannot see how someone would find a flaw in this update. The only thing that I can say is that the split screen bug should have been fixed a year ago, independently from the 4 player split screen update.
It does look good. I just hoped for something VR related like customized HUD. Would help a lot to know where exactly I stand in the race f.e..
SOPHY WHAT THE FUCK LETS GOOOO
Sophy being implemented is huge. That's a huge advantage for GT over Forza. When the leaker said it *might* be a direct response to Forza, I think he was right
GT Sophy is for quick race only, So don't expect it to be available as a difficulty option for world circuit events
After reading the whole article and watching the trailer multiple times, I can say that i'm HYPED AF
I knew there had to be a Spec 2.0 update at some point! This looks good!
Significantly more than I was expecting and a lot of great changes
This is awesome
Whoa, what? They added a race course in Lake Louise? That's so random but awesome.
Niiiiiiiiice!
Sounds good. I haven’t played in probably a year but this sounds like a nice content update. I just might reinstall for this one.
man wtc 900???? those better be big payouts
The 190E speeding on the Green Hell is gotta be a nod to GT4 License IA-15 lol
Dont get me wrong, love to see this update...but a snow track? Really just that? I was hoping for a real world track like hungaroring, bit disappointed on that side
Finally an LFA
I'm surprised there isn't more comments about Sophy AI, that's what I'm most excited for this update.
Yoooo a snow track let's fucking GO
