I dont think gt8 will be ps6 only. Possibly released on both ps5 and ps6, maybe even released on ps5 first if gt8 comes out before ps6.

Che bella macchina!

My brain is thinking about the possibility of this being the most beautiful front-engine Ferrari ever made...

Fully agree its just stunning. F12 and 812 was for me such a huge step up to the 550/575 maranello. The series got a lot more intresting for me after 599 hope that can make it self to gt7 to and we starting to have them all.

Kaz said last year that he wants to keep GT7 alive for longer than previous GT games.

...Source? I don't remember him saying this anywhere last year. Please enlighten me if I missed it somewhere.
 
Only thing I can recall about that is the possible expansion of My First Gran Turismo.
 
I sincerely hope they can release the next game before the generational shift. GT7 IMO has been held back (or was for a while) because of system limitations.

Ideally, they will port across the assets with a spit and polish, finally address that list of 'Know Issues' plus the handful of entrenched problems well-known to the community at large. Build a game on those foundations and we might be getting somewhere, without having to settle for the dream until we can afford to buy a new console.

Obviously there would have to be heaps of new content but the priority should be fulfilling years-old promises.

Being still locked to 20 cars offline and online to 26 is embarrassing. Like still not having rain and full day/night cylce on every track.

On the contrary he said during the live event that they are fully working on the next chapter of Gran Turismo. And that’s why i expect some kind of new infos this year during one of the 4 live events

This.

While cars output remains the same other content like scapes and tracks have been more scarse as time goes by, for exampe I imagine they could be recording more locations for scapes and considering the work needed it sounds reasonable to expect more until the next game.

Also considering the time is taking to get new tracks why they haven't updated current ones (specially adding full 24hrs cycle or rain) in 3 years🤷‍♂️

GT7's long-lasting expansion is gonna be the next chapter of Gran Turismo.
 
Regarding this discussion about whether GT8 will be cross-gen with the PS6 and when it will be released, my guess is that it will be a PS5 game, it will be announced at the next big PlayStation event, probably between August and November of this year, to be released between March and December of 2026.

The PS6 should only arrive between November of 2027 or the first quarter of 2028.

PD is usually a showcase studio for SIE regarding the extensive use of the particularities of each new PS, it did not have much time to customize the engine for GT7, which should use the brute force of the PS5 to deliver what in practice is a PS4 GT7 in 4K, with better resolution, LoD and textures.

With the PS5, the engine should be improved to use HW functions of the new architecture, improving streaming and scaling of computational data, with efficient code that doesn't have to be executed almost by force.

This is a hard, and sometimes requires rethinking a lot of things, but I believe it will be easier than it was in the PS3>PS4 transition.

Much of what we have today can be improved just by editing things like scenery assets, perimeter geometry and especially vegetation, which is the part that I believe (and hope) will benefit the most. The cars themselves can receive improvements in LoD, material shaders and reflections, and I believe that the lighting will be the same as GT7 in the worst case scenario, which is not a problem.

But I believe that the biggest challenge and problem that the studio faces is not technical or competence-related, it is content production, which with a small team that prefers to produce alone, controlling every small aspect of quality, without external help, limits the scope and distance that the series could and deserves to achieve and although I believe that Yamauchi is one of those responsible for this dilemma of having a lean team that he can control better, I believe that the main force responsible is SIE, which should assert itself more and perhaps offer more financial and project management support.

So she likes red cars... 😅

lol, I got it...

But you actually got her favorite color right. She doesn't like seeing her favorite Ferrari in this Le Mans racing version of mine.

I concurr, with the rare exception I prefer most Ferraris in red (or yellow). It just suits the car like British Racing Green fits an Aston or Jaguar. For me this is less a personal color taste, but rather heritage or whatever.

I'm glad your better half likes cars and you can share your hobby with her :)

Maybe GT8 could be released any sooner then we think,
that's why they didn't ad B-Spec and a proper Career(GT League) to GT7 and kept it for GT8.
Click to expand...
Or PD do it like in the past, they bring us a full next gen (PS5) new Gran Turismo, but not the real full game, what means, for example GT4 Prologue, GT5 Prologue or even GTSport, which also only was GT7 (Prologue). All the menues, the dealership, the historical features, everything ist almost the same from GTSport to GT7.

We will see.

It's already said that B-Spec depends on Sophy, cuz it's about AI. Ofc it's unknown about proper career but AI is one of the main grievances about GT before in chase the rabbit format.
 
I don't think the release cadences of the pre-PS4 games is all that relevant these days. Game development is just so much different in the 4K era, between longer dev times, bigger budgets, monetisation, and active user retention numbers becoming a bigger goal than straight sales.

As an example of how much things have changed, GT6 only being released on the PS3 was seen as a massive blunder at the time that contributed to its significantly lower sales. Nowadays that would be seen as good business sense to release on the platform that still has the vast bulk of active users on it.
 
Speaking of the next GT game, I just hope a majority of the cars return, obviously minus the ones with expired or licensing issues. I imagine the GT7 car models are future proof enough to last atleast until GT8 if not GT9, minus the LOD issues some of them have.
 
In the livery editor, what does the 'Other' color actually change for the C5?
 
I wonder how long it takes SONY/PD to get Sophy up to speed with a new car. It's clear that new cars take a bit to be Sophy compatible, which makes me think of how quickly does Sophy pick up on a new set of wheels, and whether they start training as soon as the car is finished, or even before the car is complete, as long as the core functionality is finished(since I doubt Sophy cares about graphics)

I am certain basic knowledge about racing lines, general drivetrain characteristics transfer over pretty easily, and with such a diverse car roster Sophy could use a similar existing car as a reference point to jump off from. Though the ability to tune and engine swap cars probably adds extra lead time as they might have to calibrate the agent on the various states that cars can be in, which would add a lot of extra complexity.

It really is a great looking sportscar, I think it‘s a much more emotional (and better) design than its predecessor, the F12.

Though imo the best looking front engined Ferrari of all time is the 250 GT Lusso:

Not just Ferraris, one of the most beautiful Cars in general imo. Its lines are so minimalistic but perfect and beautiful nonetheless, its shape looks so natural
 
I think they should only update the game to keep peripheral support up and release things that were already in the pipeline for it like from what was shown from datamine leaks so they can focus on the next GT game fully. 1.59 is kind of the version number when GT Sport was in process of starting to be sunsetted due to the next game was close to being revealed so hopefully history repeats itself and new GT reveal is around the corner, similar kind of timeline too of support. PS4 hard drives deserve some peace and tranquillity.

There is meant to be a PlayStation event in June so hopefully then (Will be around five years since GT7 got announced). Such a big opportunity to improve GT to a whole new level, they could achieve a generational leap even though we are well into this new generation. The game logic must be like almost like idling on PS5 so very different to how Gran Turismo games were in the past which were close to maxing out what was available. Kind of crazy that the game physics would run probably at a higher tick rate on a gaming PC released before the PS3 than current consoles, shows kind of how held back things are at the moment. Even just running the current physics faster with the available hardware on PS5 would probably make it a bit better to drive.

It should be also easy for them to update the next GT game later on to fully support the PS6 Portable and also the beefier home console too with shinier graphics. It will be disappointing if they don't release a new game before another generation starts. Even releasing the game in a more barebones but high-quality focused state early is preferable to me like GT5P.
 
GTWS round 1 information has been released. There's no "announced on the day" events.

Of note - the Viewers Campaign cars (winning Gr.3 car for Manufacturers, the Valkyrie in Nations Cup winner's national colours for Nations) are explicitly not being released until after the next update. However, I would not read that to mean "they have to wait because one of the possible Gr.3 cars is new content in the next update", that's a bit too optimistic a reading I think.
 
Campaigns run until Monday 23rd June, so most likely an update on Thursday 26th if they follow the usual schedule, and yeah it won't be a new Gr3 if it's the winning one from the live event (just a special livery on the existing model).
