I just loved hanging around in the main menu. The soundtrack was way better than that of GT7.I wonder if they allow local saves, or they'll completely shut-down its cloud functionality. That's a bummer though. I always thought GT Sport (with Spec2 update), was the most streamlined experience, if you wanted to avoid all that GT7 clutter.
Licenses can be renewed, and usually are if the cost/benefit is still positive enough.Wouldn't a delisting happen regardless because of the car licenses expiring? I know the Forza games get removed from digital stores after a number of years.
They will completely shut the servers and 99% of the game will be blocked in the future.
Only arcade races with a small selection of cars will be available (no progression will be available).
What happens to my "Garage" cars and my Career Mode progression?
All existing cars and personalized Car Settings kept in Garage will be accessible. Gameplay progression required as normal to unlock additional cars and items.

Why is EA able to keep selling 10+ years old NFS titles while Sony and MS have to stop selling GT and Forza games after few years?
Like i can't believe NFS Rivals, NFS 2015 are generating enough money for the license to be renewed while the GT/Forza Horizon and Forza games don't.
Damn, was it really that good? I haven't played GT since the ps3. Maybe i should try GT7?One of the greatest, most influential racing games ever. The whole vibe of the game was like nothing that came before it, or after. What a game.

I mean it's good, but it's basically iRacing conforming to a console crowd and it did it very well with that typical Polyphony style.

There's some misconception over how GT Sport works offline. It's not like GT7 where you have a glorified demo, everything is there as normal except for the (obviously very important) ability to save your progress and buy new cars.So if I read that FAQ correctly, all the GT League stuff will still be usable after the server shutdown? That would be a surprising and happy turn of events at least. Lots of games that start always online never bother to make concessions for solo play after the servers shutdown.
They do, but there's no set period for that to happen; it would depend on the contracts. For example, I believe either Turn 10 or Playground confirmed that Forza Horizon 4/5 had a much longer license period and wouldn't be taken down at the same interval the previous Horizon games were; I'd assume the same is probably true for Motorsport given their talk of making it a platform and the minor scandal of 7 having to come off the store and having zero Motorsport games for sale/on Game Pass for a while.
Only speculation on my part (PJTierney would be more in the know!) but it might have something to do with the number of cars being licensed. GT and Forza strive to be fairly comprehensive in their car selection; meanwhile I don't think any Need for Speed game has gone past 100 cars.

If they patch the game to support offline saving and making the brand central usable offline, all would be fine. The note of "progression required *as usual*" on the FAQ makes me think they won't patch it though.

One of the best and most important Gran Turismo games in my opinion.
It had a clear vision in what it was trying to do, and largely executed it well.
Thank you for your service *salutes*
Yes'm every game is unique.Unless a new entry in the game's series is out already, then it probably wouldn't make sense?
If I understand correctly and the licenses have to be extended for each game separately.
I doubt GT7 comes to PC simply because people literally buy a PlayStation just to play Gran Turismo, the game has been constantly charting since its release.Yeah but I can still play my digital copies of Forza Horizon 3 & 4 with all my DLC despite being delisted. I hope GT7 PC gets the same treatment
It was in the Nvidia leak, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's coming eventually. They'll give it another year or so on PS5 though.I doubt GT7 comes to PC simply because people literally buy a PlayStation just to play Gran Turismo, the game has been constantly charting since its release.

And because it was the better game 😎 not really but i do love pikes peak...Yes'm every game is unique.
DiRT Rally got extended even after DiRT Rally 2.0 came out though, probably because it was still selling.
Yeah i think the Nvidia leak hasn't been off either, at least up to this point. A PC version would at least have the chance that fans could make it work offline even if Sony eventually abandons it.
It's a great question, and an open one for several racing games (NFS 2015 etc). Ultimately we need government regulation in this space. There's just no company that's gonna keep servers up out of the goodness of their heart regardless of what they sold to customers, so we need legislation that forces their hand - if you sell an online only product to customers at full retail price, you commit to keeping it online while you're still viable as a company, or you patch it at server shutdown to make it a complete product without an online requirement.It makes me wonder what will happen with Gran Turismo 7 when they shut servers down. All progress will be lost? No way to play offline? You can't even restart the game in current state. PS3 era Gran Turismo closed online services and were parched to be an offline game.
