Question: How long has "Set by Host" been an option for grid order in lobbies? I don't remember seeing it before, but I don't know if it's just something that's been there since day one and I've just not noticed/forgotten.
 
Not a GT7 information, but the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG '71 is on the poster for the centenary of Spa 24 Hours, alongside an other car we had after an update a few months ago :

Your Gif uses RT which is why it looks so good.;)

For a title that aims to replicate realistic lighting and it's interaction with materials - RT will make a significant improvement.

GT7's replay mode has very decent RT but it's implementation is limited and of course only 30fps.

With a 2-4x improvement PD should be able to improve upon the quality seen in replay mode with RT implemented on reflections & shadows.

The Pro should also be able to deliver higher quality particle effects such as dust and rain. Plus higher LOD car models in-game.

Will be very interesting for me if RT while racing would look as ugly as in the GT Auto Shop while looking at cars and wheels. At least on my LG non-Oled it looks super blurry to a degree where you can't even recognise how a shiny metallic colour could look on your car.

Tired Pbs Nature GIF by Nature on PBS


The obsession with photo realism is one of the worst things about the current games industry. It extends development time, drives up costs, doesn't make the resulting product any more enjoyable and in the end just gets used for fanboy arguments & nitpicking.

Meanwhile Nintendo and the Switch are a mega success because they just make great games.

Was going to thumb-up your post until you wrote about the Switch. :D Can't relate to their games and don't understand the need/want to play portable.

But i find that for me somewhere between PS4 and PS5 graphics got just "good enough". I feel like every bigger game since Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed Unity just looks good. I was especially pleased with Days Gone, God of War, GT7, and Kena since i got the PS5 (first console since PS2, only PC Gaming in between) in 2020. Always choose the 60fps mode due to graphics being good enough.

edit: oh, and of course Ghosts of Tsushima
edit2: oh well, take your thumbs up. it's more important than me not clicking with Nintendo :D

I always wondered why the Soundtrack never plays while racing in Online Lobbies, part of the reason why I liked GT Sport's soundtrack so much was because I would just go AFK and listen to it. Couldn't PD just give us an option to have it on or off?

Just saw those pics and thought it looks familiar. Isn't it the Legend Cars showroom?

Even their UCD looks familiar. ^^

There's a surprising number of converted tram sheds in Germany used for classic car storage - and the racking is just standard car storage stuff (although the glass fronts are neat) which you'll see at any business where people store their classics when not in use.

I've always felt that the LCD looks architecturally more like The Royal Ordnance Depot in Weedon Bec:

Agreed. I'd take all tracks having a full 24 hour day/night cycle and real-world real-time weather at a never-wavering 60fps over raytracing/lighting upgrades every day of the week.

It's great hardware, but there just aren't enough games to make it a big seller.
I wouldn't be surprised if they will get a surge in sales when they get PC compatibility

I had forgotten that compatibility was planned, it might help them to sell off their stocks.

Psvr2 has for me been worth the investment gt7 is the best game i ever experinced in vr

Too bad it will be probably the last GT with VR support :(
 
Lomic
why ?

Well. Psvr2 isn’t selling too good so Sony probably won’t put any effort for PSVR3 and I doubt that next gen GT will have psvr2 support. I hope im wrong, but does not seems to be real imho

Costs more than the bloody console, can't ever convince me that's a worthwhile investment.

PS VR2 is cheap compared to PC VR headsets - for example Steam Index still costs over 1k $

I mean, not really. I got my Meta Quest 2 for about a third of the price of the PSVR2.

The same could be said about PSVR, yet we've got PSVR2.

It only depends on the titles available in VR, if new titles arise that give a big interest to the headset, the sales could go up, and it depends on what Microsoft will do regarding VR too.

And it will also depend on VR market globally.

thats all in one and its much weaker specs than PS VR2

You totally can plug it in your computer and then it is not all in one anymore and it is very good (especially for the price).

Psvr1 was much more popular when it came out.
