Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Cool guy]

Saw this online today, says end of 2021 but I think it's just a placeholder date.

Hope they will give a new trailer date or something about launch date in that conference, I mean if the game should come in April 2021 or so they should give us something more relevant about the game or a showcase or some pictures or whatewer considering we are approaching end of 2020 and the game is 5 months from release? I hope we get a trailer until January

It does not seem that at the conference they say anything about GT7.

Polyphony Digital Co., Ltd. is a game company that produces racing games. In modern game production, the industrial structure is becoming more complicated and the technology used is becoming more sophisticated. As a result, a place for sharing knowledge through various academic societies and events has become important. We have also been actively engaged in external activities such as GDC, SIGGRAPH, and CEDEC. As a result, I was involved in the standardization process of standards, and I was blessed with the opportunity to meet excellent intern students, and there were many good things. In this presentation, we will look back on the contents of our representative presentations and summarize various backgrounds and findings obtained as a result of external activities.

What is stopping this community from just waiting until Sony/PD says something

Guys do you think this photo is taken from GT Sport?

@emula could know? Also, is this a scapes photo or in-game?

GTAS - Gran Turismo Acquisition Syndrome.

Nothing but everyone is so wanting to know the information about what's coming that it will never stop the speculation/reposting of placeholders etc.

I have great patience and having got my PS5 I am more than happy to wait as I am ready for the game and to click that Pre-Order button when I can.

As I've said before were not going to see anything until they have done the PR for the last qualifier/world final announcement, things will 'escalate' after the world final but hopefully we get another reveal tease at that time!

I tried to take a photo on the same point, yeah i think it's from GTS

Good. It’s settled then

 

[Quakebass]

I mean that’s a submission for the Yaris PS5 giveaway, I don’t see how it could be GT7...

Prologue v2

They canceled GT7 and decided to start working on GT Sport 2 from scratch

No please don't tell us that, I know you are joking but if it's really that true I will have trauma and collapse by shock

Me too

 

[Monkey Man]

Yup, same here. I'd have a heart attack and then kill myself, in that order.

 

[MadMax97]

Anyway GT7 will be released that for sure, the question is when....

As long as it come in 2021 it's not problem for me at least. If it's delayed to 2022 that would be annoying, but even if it happens somehow I will be patient

Announcements tomorrow, posted and shared by PD staff on Twitter

At least there was a nice banner image they posted

With that same old Porsche as always.

This look like a new screen shot for the games. It look way better compare to the old build back in June trailer.

 

[Samus]

Just different lighting because the doors are fully closed.

I hope it's an old build - judging by that source - because it still has jagged areas.

The reflection on the glasses looks weird especially the wheels but the car modeling itself is stunning.

 

[tothesz]

It looks like the reflections are coming from both glass and mirrors but there can be only one...

 

[queleuleu]

No ray tracing is better than bad ray tracing? I guess we'll see a lot of trade offs for reflections. Everything looks so good : 3d models, lighting but these reflections show the limit of the hardware. Lower resolution, lower LOD... I hope the new build will improve that aspect.

It's not hardware limits it will be better in final version that is sure, they still need to squezee true ps5 power, it's only the beggining

It definitely seems like a trade off game with RT. Here in particular it looks like they are using some different tricks to reflect the car twice in the mirror. They are reflecting at different angles too, no clue why but its interesting to see. I wonder if it'll ship like that

Where was it found on?

That double reflection looks like there's maybe an extra piece of glass in between.

Regarding the resolution of the RT, you guys should realise that traditional reflections are also not full resolution. Reflections continue to be computationally heavy, but reflections of this quality are still a lot better than traditional reflections. Also this image is a really extreme example of reflections which makes any flaw way more obvious than they will be during normal gameplay.

After playing spider man on ps5, I have no doubts that PD will implement a raytracing system on par with the insomniac title. I loved how it was done in Miles Morales... the reflections are not too prominent but they help to "ground" the objects in the world, and in some places, it looks like magic! It's so nicely done. But I'm not hoping to see it in gameplay (maybe very limited), just in menus/scapes, maybe in replays running in 30fps.
