if anything came out of this, i at least saw a lot of people who were originally giving the game such superlative reviews re-evaluating some of their opinions.

idk I really liked my Integra and the actual driving feels amazing. the user experience is still inexcusably bad but the actual âdrive around and chill out and take hyperrealistic photos of your carâ experience is still pretty fun and worthwhile

At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think itâs important for it to be linked with the real world prices.
This is dumb. Canât wait to be saving up for a car only to find out it went up another million since i started grinding races.

Sony said they were gonna have 10 live service games by March 2026 and I guess this is one of them, huh. Suddenly concerned for Destiny

I have to second this. I canât wait to play some this weekend on my driving setup. Iâll probably pick a slow FF car and just drive events or do hot laps without even thinking about the campaign.
Itâs not the way the game was intended to be played, but it is an enjoyable way to play it.

Neither the answer I was hoping for or expecting. This is insane.

I donât disagree that it still feels fantastic, but I just spent five years doing that with GT Sport and this reduces GT7 (on PS5) to a better graphics preset for GT Sport
I can enjoy it as that but itâs still disappointing that thatâs all I have to sink my teeth into

someone is breathing down their necks to make this game earn gacha money no matter the price.

Yeah this is fair, and the game in its current state is an absolute ripoff for sure.
I wish Sony were as reactive as Microsoft at âmaking it rightâ.

I had been wondering why Lotus didnât appear in the brand shop, and was surprised to learn it was because they ended all their product lines in 2021. RIP to the legacy that gave us probably the most broken car in a driving simulator yet released, the Lotus Elise Exige in SEGAGT2002. With tuning it allowed you to fit 560hp into a 700lb frame. This car is probably the reason I played racing games at all.

Huh, theyâre really just laying out their design problems for their fans toâŚsympathize with?
I agree with them that the progression design should establish price differences between cars â itâs really important to establish a playerâs ability to rank them, to convey real-world information about their differences, to create interesting moments in their used and resell lot, and all of that. A too-flat price curve is uninteresting and doesnât convey as much information.
Iâm assuming they have two competing desired experiences: hours of play per car, and differentiation in price between cars. You canât tie the in-game car prices too close to real-world prices because those scale exponentially; they donât want a target hour of play to get a top-end car to also get 20 low-end cars (gut-feeling, Iâd probably put my desired ratio at 3:1 for a 95% tier car and at 25:1 for a 99% tier car (treating the very tippy-top like late-RPG goals)).
But itâs clear that theyâve solved the problem poorly, and asking people to remember the goal of their solution wonât make them happier about it. And like all these progression problems in modern AAA, the addition of a microtransaction channel immediately puts the designers into adversarial conflict with the players and costs them the ability to speak and be believed by an audience who canât trust if theyâre talking as designers or salespeople.

If the prices are truly in line with real world prices, a pristine Integra Type R should cost like $60k.
