Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[BrunusCL82]

The Capuava racetrack appeared in the Playstation Brasil promotional video.

This is a simple driving school circuit and there are no races there.

Most likely this is just a logistical decision by the marketing team. I wouldn't bet my chips that this circuit will appear.

PS. There is also a technical error, when they put combustion engine noise in a Porsche Taycan.🙃

I think this is a small hint that the Aston Martin Vantage and Audi R8 V10 plus will be in the next update. They're in the datamine anyway.

The vantage no but the R8 V10 it's there in the "list"

I hope so too! But the Taycan being in the video (with the pointed out ICE sound lol) throws it off for me - plus, why would Sony allow some (assumed) local marketing company to make a HUGE announcement for the series and only air it in Portuguese? Then they show it transition to GT7 on a track we don't have... but its a driving school track?

*Edit: Yeah, definitely not hints, just marketing. Real track, but not racing one. Not in-game footage, just HUD overlay and using Sardegna Road C as the map.

The latest in the datamined car list mentions the Vantage. (VANTAGE_18_A)

Datamined car list

What does this mean though? Steering parameters? I would assume, it is something what separates those cars from the rest of strings found in the code. As in, other mentioned cars basically have no connection to GT7 and most likely just leftovers, but the cars from this list have some...

Track looks pretty narrow, reminds me of Interlagos.

EDIT: Also GT8 Graphics CONFIRMED

 

[HarVee]

That's not even GT7. It's the hud overlaid to real world footage with an exaggerated post blur effect. It doesn't hint at anything regarding next update contents. It's just there for promotional purposes.

 

[ICEYOU3]

That post was a bluff.

GT7 next gen update soon?

 

[gloriousg4]

Has anyone received the Bonus Campaign yet? I've guessed the Subaru's victory right and still not showing up in my garage...

Clearly that's the new Obey 10F from GTA

 

[PuffelPizza]

I'm p sure that the footage of the "new track" is real -life footage, but with GT sounds. Not only that, but the track map is the Sardegna Road Course C.

Well, if we can have fictional VGT's, why can't we have crossovers with GTA? Give me that Sabre Turbo. Now!

Of course! look at those trees! 🌲

A game like chess has ~400 different states every 2 moves.
AlphaZero must calculate every move until the end of the game, because a move in chess can invisibly cause disaster more than 100 turns later. There's a whole lot more possible moves too, which means a whole lot more data outputs.

As a life-long chess player, I have to reply to this one.

It is true that the opening position in a game of chess has 400 possible moves for white and black to play one move. Each player can play 16 pawn different pawn moves and four knight moves. After the opening phase, the number of possible moves per turn varies considerably, ranging from complex middlegames with lots of legal moves to forced positions where there is only one legal move. And while there may be around 20 moves to consider, some will be clear errors and don't need to be looked at in any depth.

So the figure of 400 moves per 2 moves is a red herring. It only really applies in the opening when the computer will be playing from its opening book of pre-determined moves.

The problem is that the cumulative complexity of considering several moves ahead quickly reaches very large numbers. There are more than 400 possible positions after one move each. More than 120 million after six moves. There are more possible moves in chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.

AlphaZero most certainly does not calculate every move until the end of the game. If it did that, it would be unbeatable and chess would cease to be a game. It would be solved. In fact AlphaZero looks at around 10,000 moves each turn. This is incidentally far less than other programs such as Stockfish which looks at 10 million moves.

But I'm not sure what relevance this has to Sophy. Chess computers have long since overtaken humans in playing strength. You don't need that level of complexity and ability to make an AI agent for a playstation game.

Of course PD would recycle the same HUD for GT8.

I think he meant 5-6 years, not 5-60

The earliest machine learning algorithms were developed in the late 1950’s, so the research field is around 60 years old. But then again, the first computer program was written back in the 1840’s, so if Sophy is based on 60 year old tech, then by the same logic GT7 is based on 180 year old tech.

When the Gran Turismo composer is seemingly having fun in a rocking chair:

 

[Randall_Flagg]

Has anyone seen the Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TT 2seater '89 lately? It's in the Nissan Fairlady menu book from the last update but not available currently. I guess it's a used car that I just have to wait for it to show up? Funny that it hasn't been there since the update, usually cars you need would be there right away.

​

 

[synon]

This is also not a genericised model, but a single car, single track, single environment model: it only handles a few trillion times less environments than a genericised model would need.

They did run Sophy with a car-track combination that it had not been trained on to see how it would work, that was the Nordschleife Louis Hamilton challenge.

Jenkins is back?

Normally I'd be quick to agree but given how we've consecutively had at least 1 car from the datamined list in the last three updates (including the latest, where all three cars are from it), its certainly worth at least noticing since it once again features cars from that datamine. Maybe they'll make it, maybe they won't. Given PD have a habit of being somewhat behind on the latest cars (unless its Toyota), I could see both of these 2018 cars joining.

I'm waiting as well...

This dance is called 'Kaz moves'

Uhh...has anyone else had this happen to them today?

Yes, you get 1 million for a correct guess - they just did it like that instead of as 1 larger ticket.

 

[regnar]

Just a silly take on the wording on the credit ticket is a little funny, "A reward for an expected campaign victory" it seems the victory is a little to easy, if it expected, if the event(s) was more of a challenge it should read "A reward for an unexpected campaign victory".
