My credit card got billed for the PS5 Pro pre-order today. Must be shipping soon. 😎
Me too. Beginning to get excited.
Console is confirmed to be able to take 8K screenshots on supported 8K games (I think there's 4 games so far, including GT7):
Don’t care about 8k but what would be killer for me is being able to record PSVR2 in 4k as opposed to HD now. No idea if that’ll be possible yet though.
 
It seems the PS5 Pro didn't get the new HDMI 2.1b and uses the same one as base PS5 which is a shame but Pro now supports the DSC which base PS5 doesn't and that should be better than 4:2:2 downgrade - base PS5 should be able to do the same but Sony didn't enabled it yet for some reason

at least accourding to people who already have Pro + bonus picture from resetera about 8k

IF only they will update the PS5 Pro to support 32:9 and 21:9 resolutions. 5120x1440 is so more beneficial in GT7 than 8K

Gran Turismo 7 Missing from PS5 Pro Enhanced Game Launch List

With the upgraded PlayStation 5 Pro console set to launch later this week, the PlayStation Blog has released a list of 55 titles that will have “enhanced” compatibility on day one — with Gran Turismo 7 a surprise absence from the list...
 
Really surprising PD weren't able to hit the launch date.

Considering Sony used GT7 specifically for marketing this is a very bad look.

I assume quiet a few GT players will pick up the box and be disappointed in the unchanged visuals of GT7 unaware that the game has not been patched yet.

C'mon PD, get it together man.
 
There's clearly no possible way whatsoever that My first Gran Turismo is causing other far more important already released GT7 and hardware update delays....

This is the bit I find confusing.

If it wasn't at least mostly ready, you'd think Sony wouldn't have the confidence to make it playable at TGS (over many first-party titles that are on that list, no less). Sony don't do rough around the edges demos, polish is their thing.

Complete speculation of course, but if you told me Pro support was complete but the update for it is delayed because they're still trying to fix the suspension physics to go alongside it, I'd believe it.

I wouldn't. I don't even think these things are correlated.

This is the most frustrating thing that they used Gran Turismo 7 to demonstrate the PS5 Pro enhancements and is what I based my decision to pre-order the PS5 Pro. I only play GT7 on PS5. This is exceptionally disappointing and will not be forgotten. The clock is ticking.
 
Its perplexing, how content and fix’s, seem to have to ship together.

Content should happen on a set schedule. Fixes should be, “immediate.”

If it is the physics(ffb!) fixes tied together, even with something as ‘big’ as a pro launch…i’d love to know why.

It will be interesting once it lands to see if we can look back and short list things which could have caused the delay.

My experience in evaluating and dramatically improving development cycles leads to my initial hunch they are lacking industry standard CI/CD pipelines, and possibly subsequently lacking good infra as code practices. But that's just my decades of experience in divisions that are stuck requiring months to release down to minutes. They're great artisans and I think that is a much better quality overall, especially as a consumer, but their pipeline/release speed shows they're a bit behind the times from a development engineering/ magic quadrant stand point.
 
Noticed this from their Tweet today and the absence of GT7.

Disappointing for sure as I'm getting the Pro and had boxed up and sent off My OG PS5 today in anticipating of Thursday (Now Friday according to Amazon UK :confused:)

Praying it comes with the November Update which would make the most sense if they need a couple more weeks to get the patch approved with Sony. Sony have always put the pressure on PD when things aren't quite ready on PD's side so I would give them the grace of a few more weeks...

Same here, main reason for my order. Although have waited on Spider-Man 1 and 2 for pro.
 
GT Sport was launched 4 months after the release of the PS4 Pro, GT7 1.5 years after the PS5 release, even if the PS5 Pro update come at the end of the month, I don't see it as a disgrace... Still disappointing though

As always is all about communication. They advertise gt7 and ps5 since the first announcement. They even brought gt7 as a playable demo with ff7 to public more then one month ago. And now is missing from the list ahahah something is wrong.
 
Ouch.
The non-existent info stopped me from pre ordering... But gutted still, as I am still holding my breath (apparently until next GT7 release at least now, which I was certain will be timed to coincide with the already delayed PS5 pro release, as well as be used as a system seller for the ps5pro...).
That's some proper shambles for Sony & PD...

@Famine are you covering the October update - New Extra Menu No.41?

I thought this was a joke but appears not. 😳
