Missing self-reflections like the mirrors typically seen in Gran Turismo.

I hope they will make "self-reflections." And maybe guys from Driveclub can help them? ^_^

Not saying that, but it's just another little bit of evidence for the case that this is GT.

Ok. What part of the car is supposed to be reflecting itself?

Or is there something I'm just not understanding about this term and how its being used.

Well no, what I was asking is why the car on the picture would have a self reflecting image in the first place, not necessarily why it may have been removed. Doesn't seem like something it would produce at that angle of the picture posted by @chzsln485 .
 
How are people equating this with GTS?

We had the NSX trailer ages ago, and that wasn't indicative of the quality of GT6. These things may share code with the game, but the actual quality of what can be achieved when you've got more than a handful of milliseconds to render each frame means that there's very little that can be meaningfully read into a trailer like this.

I think it's more the fact that it's a confirmation that things are still happening and working at Polyphony HQ, more than anything. I don't think anyone is expecting to be playing the GTS beta on their PS4s tomorrow at super high res trailer quality or whatever.

Gran Turismo uses the standard cubemaps to generate reflections which only captures the surrounding environment, it isn't able to reflect its own car parts like here.

Thanks for that, that's what I was misunderstanding. What I took from it was that you guys where just talking about the mirror glass reflection, so when he posted the 3/4 front view I thought he was pointing out the front/top of the car.
 
Any game that utilizes cubemaps for their reflections is always going to lack self-reflection on surfaces since it takes in the environment and not what the light is being cast on and shadowed.

With no info for 5 months people will easily get hyped over everything related to gran turismo and pd

Which is pretty much what we both said, that GT is unable to reflect upon its own self.

I wasn't confused about that, just that the angle showed wasn't necessarily an angle that would have produced self reflections. Like I said, I was quite literally only thinking of the mirror glass and didn't think of the mirror extension. Obviously he knew what I was getting at and easily pointed it out where my error was. So thanks for your unnecessary post after the fact that I acknowledged my problem 👍

The image I posted is in fact better than it would be if the angles were aligned with the sun and the moon, since it is at a lower pov than the GT shot, which it shows the mirror clearly.

So props for attempting to disprove something clearly visible 👍

I wasn't trying to disprove, I asked a question of what is supposed to be reflecting, In which I got the answer I was looking for. So I'm not sure ehy you're continuing down this line as if I was going down that path in the first place. It just makes it seem like you got bothered that I acknowledged his post and not yours, either way this is childish, I already admitted where I was making the mistake, so continue going on about it if you like, but there's nothing else for me to say about it since it's been corrected before your snappy reply.

Ha, not at all. You had continued to ask repetitive questions (imo) which was answered the page before, in-fact, under the post of which is in questioned. The answer was there, it's just that you refused to study it I assume.

Working off a cell phone, you tend to miss things when you can only see one post at a time. I replied to his because it was a direct quote of mine, i noticed his first. I'm not sure why you are so bothered by it, @Vspectra didn't seem to mind answering the question, but for some reason you want to continue arguing about a point that has been dropped for some reason I can't understand.
 
What the hell has happened to Gran Turismo 7, Sport, or whatever is supposedly coming out? It has been 3 years now since Gran Turismo 6 and the release of the Playstation 4!

I am a long time Gran Turismo fan, and I enjoyed Gran Turismo 6, but with each passing year Gran Turismo is further going into irrelevancy. Polyphony needs to consider outsourcing Gran Turismo 7 or Sport.
