Gran Turismo 7’s recent road trip has left its mark, but Polyphony Digital is determined to change things quickly. Kazunori Yamauchi, game director of the franchise, broke the silence on PlayStation Blog to share some good news.
1 million cr. for everyone a first patch in April
First, Kazunori Yamauchi apologized again and offered 1 million Cr. to all players.
I would like to apologize for the frustration and confusion caused by our update last week., which not only crashed the servers, but also resulted in adjustments to the game economy that were made without giving our community a clear explanation. We know this isn’t the Gran Turismo gaming experience you’re expecting and We will make a goodwill gesture to you in the form of a pack of unpurchased credits of 1 million Cr.
To restore them you must Connect to GT7 between March 25 and April 25, 2022 at 9:00 am.. But that’s not all, and the studio promises a readjustment of the reward system for a better balance.
This project is started with a “substantial patch” at the beginning of the month
Increased rewards in World Circuits events in the second half by an average of 100%
Added high rewards for completing Circuit experience with All Gold/All Bronze results.
Increased rewards in online races
Added a total of 8 new one-hour endurance race events to missions. These events also give bigger rewards
The maximum limit for unpurchased credits in players’ wallets has been increased by 20 million cr. at 100 million cr.
Increased number of used and legendary cars available at any time
Continued in GT7: selling cars, more races…
“Between now and the end of April” According to Yamauchi-san, more patches will be put online to bring cars, additional tracks and modifications to Gran Turismo 7 that have not yet been discussed.
Then, in the short term, the studio is already planningadd more racesD’increase rewards… and AT LAST to allow virtual pilots to resell their cars :
Increase the rewards of limited-time events as we evolve on the live service.
Added new World Circuit events.
Added endurance races to missions, including 24 hour races.
Added online time trials and rewards based on the time difference between the player’s time and the shortest time.
Make sure the cars can be sold.
It remains to be seen whether a car can be sold at all, or whether it is only about bought and not won vehicles.
