Gran Turismo 7The latest update was meant to improve and optimize the racing sim’s vehicle physics. But something went wrong (or right, depending on how crazy you like your racing games), resulting in flying cars and an apology from the developers.
Gran Turismo 7‘s Start in 2022 things did not go well with players Complaints about servers being constantly online and having to grind for hours to be able to afford new cars and upgrades. The game was bombarded with criticism and was Sony’s worst rated gameSince this disastrous rollout, developers Polyphony Digital have improved the grinding degree, more content addedand has improved the game through numerous updates. But the latest patch broke the game in a very funny way.
Coming out July 25th for PS4 and PS5. Gran Turismo 7Patch 1.49 a new race track, six new cars and improved tire handling. However, the focus of this update was a complete overhaul of GT7‘s physics engine. The idea was to make cars drive and behave more realistically. That, uh, didn’t happen.
Instead, players quickly discovered that the update had turned many cars into Honda-built rockets that shot into the sky or floated around lazily during races. While these crazy flying cars may not be “realistic” or “correct”, it definitely fun to watch.
On July 25, shortly after the update was released, Post by Polyphony Digital on Twitter that they are aware of the “unintended vehicle behavior” that GT7 after patch 1.49. “This issue is currently being investigated,” the studio said. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Well, I understand that this problem with some cars flying around like helium-filled balloons thrown by a child needs to be fixed. I get it. That is not what most Big tourism Players want. Fine. But I would say these flying cars are very fun and have sparked my interest in playing Big tourism 7. Therefore, I would suggest the developers to make this bug a feature that can be activated in a special mode so that players can take a break from realistic driving and watch the vans float around and shoot into the sun.
