Quick question,can you see any sign of your pre-order content?
I didn’t bother with the version of the game with extras. Those types of things never bother me and aren’t worth the extra real-world monies.
 
What have we seen to warrant them?
If I may interject and answer, I think it's a simple matter of the fact there are no miracles. GT7 will be a cross-generational title, releasing on both PS4 and PS5, with the latter console being much more recent and said to be 10 times more powerful than the former. With that kind of power differential, compromises are inevitable. The question is: "Where is the compromise being made?" There are two possible scenarios for this:

1 - The game is designed to make use of the PS5 and, as a result, it will struggle to perform on the older hardware, due to the lack of power.
2 - The game is, as Yamauchi has insisted, mostly equivalent on both platforms, which means the PS5 version cannot go as far as it could, because that would cause too many issues for the older consoles.

And here you have all the concerns. Those who fear poor performance on PS4, due to scenario 1, and those who fear a diminished PS5 version, due to performance concerns on older hardware, aka scenario 2.
 
Sorry to bring up this old discussion from last year, but for those of you who were/are still categorically against releasing GT7 both on PS5 and PS4:

DO you still fear that the graphics and performance on the PS5 will be pulled down or compromised because the game is developed to be played also on the PS4?

What is your take now? Do you still have worries about it ?

I was a fervent believer that the release on both console is the smart financial choice for Sony and PD, and believed in PD's ability to pull it off making the best for both console...

You guys lacked confidence in PD, i hope you now see that Kaz proved you wrong... thankfully for all of us...
PS5 is pulled down by PS4, no question about it. That being said, if it didn't release on PS4 it probably wouldn't sell well, due to the shortage of PS5's (outside of scalpers hands)
 
Have you tried clicking download from the game in your library on playstation.com?Apart from that i dont know,somebody on here with more lnowledge than me might be able to point you in the right direction 👍
Yes,that's where I was trying to download it from,keeps saying something went wrong..
 
so what you all are telling me is: "you are not blown away from what you have seen so far, solely based on the fact that you think that the GT7 PS5 version is pulled down because of the compatibility with the PS4."?

I doubt this is the case, but i think all of our minds would be blown if Kaz/PD comes out and say that all the footage presented up until now came from the PS4. lol. highly doubt it, but it would be funny indeed.
 
Will I still be eligible to get the preorder bonus cars if I got the 25th Anniversary Physical Edition which I can only pick up on 4th March?
 
I don’t think players that get their copies early, will have a code to play like the reviewers. It has to be uploaded and register with the server. Yes?
 
So we should see some pics and impressions by Sunday evening right? We are holding you to it!
😅 I feel like I'm not hardcore enough to give any meaningful impressions but I could possibly post screenshots, assuming that's not against the rules here. I've been seeing some other folks have been getting notified of their game shipping sooner on Reddit as well.

If you do get it tomorrow, care to post the opening movie somewhere not called YouTube? That's all I want at this point: to hear the GT7 version of MOtC.

I can listen to the rest of the soundtrack on launch day

I'm not going to promise anything but I'll see what I can do

Where? Usa?

At best I think the hype things most people want to see would be great. Opening movie, Scape count, brand central clip of all the available cars..

That’s… interesting. If you are just a general customer and didn’t need to sign for an embargo… I think you’ll be safe. Though yeah it’s up to the staff here if You can post of course.

I can't wait to get my hands on it and searching everywhere for any type of information (I want the full car list :D), but please ask the admins before posting any spoil, would be a shame to give this site a bad buzz for not respecting the embargo
 
That's what I thought. I have two GT7 avatars in my purchases. One PS5 and one PS4.
I don't even have one in my purchases, just the game and music.

On Library.playstation.com it shows the 3 car pack, Yaris, credits but also shows about 30 other cars.... all unable to download. :confused:

I am getting the same mate and perhaps the 3 car pack, Yaris, credits and the also 30 other cars, you can't download them until March 4th perhaps.

Why would you not be eligible? It's a part of your purchase :lol:
People ask the weirdest questions right before a game is released.
Preorder is different from the Anniversary bonus. Do shops give specific games/codes for those who preorder or does every game on day 1 come with preorder codes? How is what I've asked weird? I genuinely want to know how it was a weird question - preorder is simple enough for digital but picking up a game the day of release certainly doesn't imply someone's preordered for sure yet do they also get preorder bonuses?
