Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Raf997]

I can see gt7 end up with like 550-560 cars, gt8 launch with like 650-700 cars if its coming in 2026,

600-650 cars for GT8 and 700-800 with updates

Yes, we will finally at some point have 1000 cars and all in high quality

And then someone will invent an even higher fidelity laser scanner so then they’ll have to start again from scratch

I know its a joke , but seriously do we need even more fidelity in car models? I hope those models will stay with us for a long time.

Laser scanners already offer far, far, higher resolution than PD (or anyone) can realistically use for console games. Sub millimetre resolution just generates much bigger file sizes for no real practical benefit.

No idea if or how badly PD are affected, but unfortunate big PlayStation news that could be relevant to us.

PD are kind their own entity within Sony. I would not be surprised if they were not affected at all.

Anyway. Sucks. Brutal times in the industry. Hopefully the shareholders are fine. 🤮

Is it possible to use AI to fill those jobs? The number one cost to business is labor.

Probably with GT9. Definitely not with GT7 or GT8

It would depend on the job...
Ai is okay for some "assisting jobs" but still far away from replacing people.

In the mid 2000s ibm was everywhere with their watson ai after beating the best jeopardy player but then disappeared almost completely because the ai was useless for most irl tasks (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/16/technology/what-happened-ibm-watson.html)

Sadly yes, it is possible and it's already happening in some parts of the gaming industry (eg voice acting).

Thanks, Professor Laser

I agree even gt8 will not go to that number, but i belive it could reach 800 cars with updates and when you considering in the amount of detail they cars is its plenty

Pd has future proof car models this time, they are even downgraded for ps5 so it will work for even ps6 and maybe even ps7 if there is even one in the future

Have you seen those videos where they use ray tracing on old games? It makes those old textures look better by orders of magnitude. I honestly am having a hard time imagining how incredible GT8 will look on the PS6.

They still being a subsidiary of SIE and part of PS studios, so while not with an aggresive approach like with US and UK studios unfortunately is not safe of impact on this kind of actions 😕😕😕

I don't think anyone else noticed this little guy yet.

Solis mentions rabbits in one of the pre-race dialogues, though I can't blame anyone for not reading through those.

One question: what’s the point of car wash in GT7? The cars always clean and shiny. In GT1 the cars would be mate from the time of usage. Any ideas?

I remember someone telling me in the old GT3 car wash

It slashes off like .01 sec off your time. Hehe, not a big deal

I've driven 1,000 KM / 619 Mi in my Charger R/T and did many rally events with it, it's barely lost any shine but this could be because I use a very reflective color.

 

[Lux Klonoa]

The cars always clean and shiny.

Not quite. The shine does fade a bit after a few races. It's also the max it would go, though. I haven't seen any of my cars go completely dirty like you could make them in Scapes.

Might be an unfinished feature.

 

[Lomic]

naaaa, nothing is unfinished on this game, come on 😁

 

[Raf997]

You can see the dirt on the cars.. It is just not as apparent as it was in GT1 or GT3/GT4

The full-on dirt (and oil stains) is there, though. It's just only available in Scapes for some reason.

 

[PSN offapple]

Should be a trailer today, as well as update content details. Just not the full patch notes until it's released

 

[SSAuto]

No trailer or anything yet, weird. Hopefully not one of those where it drops after the update is already here.

 

[GTvsForza]

Don't they normally release the trailer the same day as the update?

 

[JC_Dude]

The trailer would usually be out the day before and the full patch notes should be out when the update drops.

 

[Reeneman]

That’s strange. Usually they have been in time in all those months.

 

[GlamFM]

If it drops in 2 mins it’s still in time

Edit: guess not
