So let me get something straight...

If there's ANY new content at all featured in My First GT it'll have to included in an update to the main game, right?

a 15h game that took a lot of "inspiration" from mario galaxy

You say this like it's a bad thing. It's really not. =/

'Cause as I always say, "Nothing is original. Everything is permitted."

Guy reeks of doomer energy if he does not consider Astrobot "a win".

It’s a win for SIE and fans of old-school platformers. For everyone else it’s just a bit sad that one of the best offerings on PS5 is nothing more than that. While Astro Bot seems like a great game, I feel like much of the hype stems from the fact that four years on PS5 generally lacks in non-remastered and well-integrated PS5 exclusive blockbusters. Astro Bot is a welcome exception with high production standards and nostalgic elements, but I wonder how much attention it would get if circumstances surrounding the current console generation were less dire.

How was the PS5 30th Anniversary edition a "so back" moment, though, considering disc drive being excluded from both Pro/Slim packages (only the cover is included) seem to be a complaint with them?

Because the reception to the anniversary editions has been overwhelmingly positive.

Anyway. It’s a joke. Let’s move on from this.

Gran Turismo 7, latest news and discussion. Let’s go.

Ah ok, thanks for the correction on that.
Still hope we get to see something about "My First GT" though, or anything from Polyphony for that matter.
Just a few hours to go until it starts:

Well that was boring. Nothing for GT7. Are these usually this sucky? Really it was just a bunch of game trailers.

I did enjoy how in the PS5 Pro sizzle reel every other title had a consistent font but GT got to be special and had the logo because of how the replay watermark works, that gave me a little chuckle.
 
Honestly, had a thought maybe we are not getting any teasers or anything of that kind for the future content because they saved it for this State of Play. Stayed up to watch it. Welp, that's entirely on me.

Not expecting anything during upcoming GTW Round either, because I don't see why they would give us a post about it last time but keep it silent this time. So, one more month then?

I wonder what's happening over there, can PS5 Pro version and MFGT really hold the updates? They do have a relatively small team, but for the guys doing all the modelling all that stuff shouldn't really make a difference. Maybe just their testing team is busy with those other versions and can't test the update. Though, judging by the infamous physics update, I'm not sure if they have a testing team. Actually, maybe they just don't want to release another update until they fix the physics and they are having a hard time actually fixing it without having to roll back to previous version?
 
One piece of news from the PS Blog roundup of Pro upgrades. I don't think it had been confirmed that 8K was targeting 60fps (though obviously it'd be expected).
“While Gran Turismo 7 was already able to render in native 4K, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution on PS5 Pro is also effective on 4K sources, allowing for even more detail and higher image quality than ever before. Additionally, we are now able to support ray tracing during races, which was previously impossible. This allows not only for car surfaces to show full reflections of other cars, but also for a car to reflect its own parts, greatly enhancing realism and immersion throughout the whole game.

Furthermore, Gran Turismo 7 will feature experimental support for 8K/60fps output* . Players will be able to see the precisely modeled cars and tracks in unprecedented detail and clarity, with a breathtaking sense of presence. Thanks to these cutting edge developments, Gran Turismo 7 will be able to provide more exciting and visually stunning race experiences than was previously possible.”

Not sure if we've gone this far without any communication for content in GT7s lifespan. But I'd like to think there's going to be something at TGS or the live event this weekend. Just bizarre they haven't announced anything to build anticipation for either event...

Yeah... I've got a feeling Spec III might be coming if they haven't said anything for this long.

I just don't think they would've dumped the amount of content and updates they did 2 months ago to turn around and make a Spec3 update with more events, more cars, and maybe a track. They would have certainly waited to couple that kind of content with showcasing a PS5 Pro at TGS/GTWS

Nah, I mean the lack of 1st party plays a role in it, but not such a significant one I’m pretty sure. Most hype comes from the fact that the free Astros Playroom on every PS5 was overly well received by players (as well as the VR Game before it) and a lot of people were hoping (including myself) that a full fledged game will be coming sometime in the future, and as it was finally confirmed, people got really excited.
I think a lot of ps players want a lighthearted game like this from time to time and don’t want to spend money on a Nintendo, so this is perfect. And additionally, and that’s just a theory, maybe a happy and lighthearted game like this is something a lot of gamers are in need of with all the chaos and serious things going on over the last years.
 
The Essentials games is a great win, as is Dino Crisis and addition of The Last of Us to ps+ Extra. Soul Reaver 1&2 remastered could be awesome as they were great back in the day.

The rest is pretty meh though. GT7 in 8k at 60FPS sounds impressive... but, for how much content? Can't see it being more than one low detail stage with fixed car choices
 
Question:
Normally i play on a TV with 120Hz and VRR with the settings for such a mode in the PS settings and the GT settings.

I now sometimes find myself playing on a 1440p, 75Hz, no VRR computer monitor. Which settings should i choose for an optimal experience?

In the PS settings i guess i just activate the 1440, no VRR mode and it will run at 60fps no matter what. I then can choose between resolution and performance mode, i guess. Are they both about the same resolution and fps wise and just differentiate through raytracing in the replays as in the beginning of GT7?

Thanks!

Flop yes. Greatest flop I don't think it's there. Anthem, Avengers, heck Suicide Squad and Redfall are quite recent. I think Sony saw it was going that way and changed tack early. That's probably the wisest thing you could do. I don't think it would've cost 400 mil either. That'll be forgotten once GTA6 lands anyway. Anyways let's see what tonight brings.

Edit: didn't see the bit about Astro Bot. Dude...

Those games were flops but not has big. Apart from avengers you can still buy all others, so they are still making money to this day. And even avengers was around for 3 years selling copies and mtx. They werent closed after 2 weeks like concord.
Even if the 400M rumour is false and it was just 200M. Its still potentially the greatest flop of alltime. Specially because of closing after 2 weeks. Can you imagine spending that much in a game that closes after 2 weeks? That has "greatest flop of alltime" energy imo.

Go to youtube. There are videos and shorts putting astro bot and mario galaxy side by side. There are many "similarities"

Gta6 is expected to be the greatest release in gaming history. If fails to land, I cant even imagine how legendary the backlash will be.

Miserable git, blimey. Astro Bot was sensational.

Thats your opinion. Astro bot is cutesy, has very nice art style and probably has great gameplay ( cant give a full opinion on gameplay because I still didnt play it). Its still a short game, 16.5 hrs completionist on hltb. I dont think a game that short deserves a 94 but thats just my opinion. And I will be very mad/sad if astro bot beats ff7rebirth for game of the year.

GlamFM
So if the highest rated game of the year is basically a flop for Sony, what would be a win in your book?

Where did I say astro bot is a flop? Do you even know what "flop" means? How about stop putting your words in other peoples mouths...
I'll rephrase: maybe game scores are not as infuential for sales as you might think.
