Update 1.49 for Gran Turismo 7 introduced “new suspension physics and improved tire calculations, resulting in a more natural weight transfer when cornering,” according to Polyphony. The studio said players should “expect more dynamic car movements and an improved driving experience.”
Players quickly discovered just how vigorous these cars’ movements were, as their vehicles bounced uncontrollably, leapt into the air, and barreled through the sky with the grace of an F-16. It would probably be infuriating if it weren’t so much fun to watch.
Polyphony Digital said it is aware of the issue and is currently investigating it. The Sony-owned studio announced in X that the fault was due to a “specific car setting” and apologized GT7 players for the inconvenience. (In the meantime, playing the game on PlayStation VR 2 might be a bad idea, because otherwise you’ll get violent motion sickness.)
We are currently aware of the following issue in update 1.49 released on July 25:
Car physics simulation
– Unintended vehicle behavior occurs when a specific car setting is selected in Car Settings.This case is currently under investigation.
We apologize for any…— Gran Turismo (@thegranturismo) July 25, 2024
Here are some more impressive examples Gran Turismo 7The up-to-date physics model has gone completely crazy.
Gran Turismo 7 was released in March 2022, and we praised the game in our review, stating that the 25-year-old series is “aging gracefully.”
“WITH GT7“Gran Turismo continues to be a wonderful anomaly: a game made with different goals and standards than all the others; a game made to fulfill a single, singular vision; a game that is all science and engineering on the outside and all history and heart on the inside,” wrote reviewer Oli Welsh.
Gran Turismo 7 is available on PlayStation 5.
