None qualified from the World Series Showdown.Why isbthere no north American driver there?
The online “Round 1″ was followed by the live World Series Showdown in Austria in July, and the top 12 drivers from that have qualified for this weekend’s race.
It will likely all be distributed by this coming Wednesday/Thursday (12/13 October), as with Round 1. Showdown's prizes were distributed starting the Friday after the last race.Awesome! When do the prizes of the last race where Fraga won get distributed?
Was wondering the same. FragaAwesome! When do the prizes of the last race where Fraga won get distributed?
Hopefully soon, I've had to unfollow all of the Gran Turismo social channels because of eSport spam.<10k views on a game that sells 10 million +. Got to wonder when they decide these are not worth doing.
Gt7 sold 10 million copies?<10k views on a game that sells 10 million +. Got to wonder when they decide these are not worth doing.
Probably should have added 'series' for clarity, as in all but one mainline GT game has sold 10+ million. I'm sure GT7 will be no different eventually but not yet, no. So that is the potential overall audience for Gran Turismo, roughly speaking.Gt7 sold 10 million copies?
The live events need to get far bigger numbers because they cost so much more to put on, shipping players from all over the world and putting them up in luxury hotels, etc. Some of those early events were used to showcase content coming in updates which will have tempted more people to watch, it might just be a coincidence but that stopped pretty soon afterwards when it became apparent that the finalists couldn't be trusted to not leak literally everything.The real live events always held good numbers,especially when there were game content revealed in them, the Lambo VGT went viral when it was revealed back in 2019 if i'm not mistaken.
I don't know how the gran turismo stuff compares to the bifgest esports like League of Legends but as far as sim racing goes it's up there.
I understand why online events were needed and they can be good but i would take in person events like Salzburg any day of the week they're great.
They've been doing this for a few years i would expect them to know the economics about it. Hard to even speculate if they are bleeding money or not since we have no expert talking about it.The live events need to get far bigger numbers because they cost so much more to put on, shipping players from all over the world and putting them up in luxury hotels, etc. Some of those early events were used to showcase content coming in updates which will have tempted more people to watch, it might just be a coincidence but that stopped pretty soon afterwards when it became apparent that the finalists couldn't be trusted to not leak literally everything.
If you can believe the Jalopnik hit-piece and the line "you guys (eSport players) will get paid when we do." it implies that PD/Sony are making no money from the events and most likely losing from each of them.They've been doing this for a few years i would expect them to know the economics about it.
