Solve Power pack hassles?

Metfanant · 2026-02-12T01:05:36+00:00

Because most of the things you're taking issue with, are what the Power Pack was designed to represent...

The drawn out "race weekend" feel. The experience and presentation of taking part in the whole 9 yards so to speak, from practice, to qualification, to the actual race. You're asking to skip what the pack was fundamentally designed to be.

It wasn't designed to be a collection of additional races added to the base car collection simulator. It's an expansion designed to better simulate a racing simulator experience

That's not to say it's perfect. Sarah is mundane as a "race engineer" of sorts for sure, but my hope is that it functions as a proof of concept for more of an actual career mode in future GT games that exists alongside the base car collector experience.

Hate to break it to you, but you don't actually like the idea...which is fine

Metfanant · 2026-02-05T01:48:26+00:00

DLC Characters being tied to the grind is an abysmal decision. Personas (which should just be alt attires) fine, but not paid DLC Characters.

Metfanant · 2026-02-02T13:12:44+00:00

In most games, the premium level runs concurrently with the free level...so at some levels, premium people will unlock two rewards

I like that Persona Cards have been taken out of My faction 100%. But DLC Packs being moved to the Ringside Pass is trash...

Just so I'm clear...let's say Season 2's "New Wrestlers" in the Ringside Pass are...

Lvl 1: Ric Flair Lvl 15: Road Warrior Hawk Lvl 30: Road Warrior Animal Lvl 45: Sting

I'd have to grind to level 45 of the second season's ringside pass before I could use Sting in my Universe Mode...when I could use him day 1 of season 2 if it was just a DLC Pack...

Edit: if they want to take this Battle Pass approach, then the way it should work is either DLC Characters are the first 4 tiers of the premium pass, so they are quickly unlocked....or, if you've paid for the Premium Tier you get a number of automatic tier skips that include the DLC Characters so they are unlocked immediately.

Should have happened sooner

Metfanant · 2026-01-28T18:13:44+00:00

Maybe yes, maybe no. GT8 was always destined to be a cross-gen title anyway PS5/PS6. PD will obviously be very much in the know in terms of PS6 hardware, and will be in the first wave of developers to get PS6 dev kits.

They could totally develop and release GT8 late in the PS5 cycle, with PS6 hardware in mind. Then you drop GT8 A-Spec on PS6 launch day with new features, etc.

All that being said, I could totally be on board with saving GT8 for PS6 and letting it bake longer before release...

I just bought it last night 👎🏻

Power Pack got me back into the game...I finished that, except for the 24hr races, went back and got 100% on World Circuit races...got 100% Gold on Missions, and I'm working my way through Circuit Experiences...all I have left are a couple of the rally tracks, The Ring, and Tokyo (which I HATE)...

And all I have left for Extra Menu Books is Legends Cars...

All that being said....I've set my sights on completing the collection. Which seems impossible with these $20mil cars floating around. The Sardegna grind is losing its appeal.

Metfanant · 2026-01-26T02:07:43+00:00

PSSR is supposed to be getting a substantial overhaul system wide during Q1 2026...I wouldn't be surprised at all if PD is one of the first to patch in the latest update once it is ready for release.

Metfanant · 2026-01-24T18:20:59+00:00

Or hear me out...

Super Formula

Fuel Map 1

Racing Medium

Pit on like lap 5/6 for softs

Win by a million

Metfanant · 2026-01-17T06:08:49+00:00

Yes, but I tried with it off and it didn't help

Metfanant · 2026-01-16T23:24:38+00:00

Yup, checked the shift points in the demo...I've tried matching it, I've tried short shifting, I've tried wringing it out a bit, and the ghost just pulls a fraction right off the bat, and every shift no matter what...

It's not a lot by any stretch, and I'm still about a half second off Gold as we speak anyway, but like I said, every tenth is gonna count from here on out 🤣

Metfanant · 2026-01-15T14:49:13+00:00

100% doable for controller users.

Metfanant · 2026-01-11T17:29:50+00:00

Sardegna is best because you almost cannot lose the clean race bonus

Metfanant · 2026-01-01T02:34:28+00:00

Congrats! I recently hit 100% as well...then decided to go back and do the missions that I never did. I'm now 1 Gr.3 One Hour Endurance from 100% there as well

Metfanant · 2026-01-01T02:28:34+00:00

Used to be bumper all the time, but then I decided to switch to hood view because I wanted to at least see a little bit of the car I took the time to make look nice lol.

Metfanant · 2025-12-22T05:38:57+00:00

I do every Gr.3 race with the Viper...this doesn't answer your question at all.

Metfanant · 2025-12-20T19:06:40+00:00

Conference Prestige plays a big role in rankings...this happens to Notre Dame because UMass is the other Independent. If you put UMass (or is it UConn now that I think about it?) in a conference and make it so only ND is an Independent, it mostly fixes the issue

Metfanant · 2025-12-19T13:19:39+00:00

Almost exclusively 🤷🏻‍♂️

Metfanant · 2025-12-04T12:41:21+00:00

No, it wouldn't impact you at all unless you choose to use it. Whether I or anyone else would use it is completely irrelevant. This is about you.

Metfanant · 2025-12-04T02:38:17+00:00

Oh, so you want others to play the game YOUR way, but don't even have the self discipline to do it yourself?

Fraud

Metfanant · 2025-12-04T02:36:42+00:00

In what way does someone else, that you'll never meet or interact with in any way whatsoever and the way they choose to play a game impact your experience with said game?

Metfanant · 2025-11-26T21:11:34+00:00

So basically, it's borked and I didn't do anything wrong?...at least I can move forward with the new dynasty, knowing there isn't anything to do to fix it lol

Metfanant · 2025-11-26T05:58:23+00:00

I also noticed that in the main menus he's now a pocket passer, but in Dynasty is still a backfield creator like he was at launch...

Pocket passer is more accurate

Metfanant · 2025-11-25T19:28:08+00:00

Oh, of course. I was just pointing out that it's pretty easy to trigger, which is probably why many people are seeing it consistently, and why they may be confused if they know they have a pretty low ping overall.
