The Future of Gran Turismo?

[Steve Justice]

I came across this demo showcasing a real environment that has been scanned in 3D. I would love to see Gran Turismo scan all the real world tracks like this. As for their original tracks. That would be something all together.

That's creepy (the 3d). But a very good idea.

Thats bringing a whole form of depth to the game. I mean GT does a good job so far at keeping it true to life and simulating conditions around a car in it, scanning with pictures and that truck and what not:

Though the only way to really get a 3d effect maximized if they did scanning like this would be to have monitors to the side of your face as well, or at least a 3 monitor setup. That immersive feeling of looking to the left and right and seeing nothing but the game really would make this extremely effective.

PS4 VR headsets!

8GB of GDDR5 will become handy for sure, although I do hope PD makes a different use of PS4 horsepower than just a jaw dropping visual tech demo. If only for the sanity of these forums...

Yeay That truck is what I was thinking about, forgot it was on Jalopnik.
The scenery graphics are one of the few areas where I dont have any complaints i.e. good enough.
It's the standard cars and the aimlessly wandering "spectators" that distract me.

Before they begin to get into advanced stuff like this, they need to secure the basics first.

Vid looks like one of the photo mode settings from Assetto Corsa.

Yeah, but they won't. They have become too arrogant and complacent to actually fix what needs fixing and will just continue to give us what they want and not what we want or need. Frankly Kaz needs to step aside and let someone take over who cares about the game

Kaz doesn't care about the game? That just might be the funniest thing I have ever seen on this site. Thank you for the laugh.

Glad to have given you a laugh. Can't say that I'm the first person on this site to have said he doesn't care anymore and I doubt I'll be the last. And I stand by the comment....if he really, truly, still cared about it (as I'm sure he did all those years ago), then he would have got his staff fixing the problems and issues with the game that have existed for a long time...instead of adding things into the game that were not needed but were done just because they could be done

Kaz has become far too concerned with art and science ideas that have no effect at all on the gameplay. He should be concentrating on the finished product, his developers and marketing boffins. I believe he really cared when he launched this franchise but his attention span has certainly veered off project. He is now just indulging his own personal preferences and he has lost touch with the fan base that have been with the franchise since its inception.

Kaz has become far too concerned with red carpet events, driving his Ford GT40 on the the track, turning a documentary about himself and creating a full scaled moon than listening to the fans.

I agree.

Are you seriously implying Gran Turismo isn't about what Kazunori Yamauchi thinks is a good car game?

Oh, wait. Now I remember. In the US, Gran Turismo 4 Prologue shipped without the "Making Of / Driving Course" DVD that was included in the European version. The one where Yamauchi threw around ideas that have little to do with racing enthusiastically and you where encouraged to drive like someone who's heading to the newsstand to pick up the newspaper.

Gran Turismo's not a racing game, and you should really stop thinking Polyphony ever cared about "the fanbase" (which for the most part seems to still like GT - keep in mind that the GTP userbase isn't even remotely representative). Gran Turismo's like an old friend - when you can't put up anymore with its antics you can tell him to sod off, until then you'll probably keep hanging out with him even tho sometimes he's weird or inopportune (like when they added the Kubelwagen, SS color scheme included).

As far as bugs and glitches are concerned, Gran Turismo may have a lot, but compared to any other blockbuster title that came out in the same period it's a gift from the heavens. Try to play Battlefield 4 online and then come back to me and say that Gran Turismo is a glitch-ridden mess.

PS4 VR headsets!

OcculusRift for PS, more like 👍👍

actually id like to see environments like that more in FPS's 👍👍 - need a real fancy vidcard though

- GT is a racing game, like it or not, as long as they continue to include "races" and opponents;
- I know PD don't care about the fans (apologies if I appeared to say otherwise)..no game developer does, beyond keeping them buying
- I never said anything about bugs and glitches...I was talking about regularly mentioned things like crap sounds, pointless ai etc. I am aware of other games and their glitches (and have played some very bug ridden games)...by comparison to most, GT has very few (as I would expect given GT is released less frequently than the others).

Ultimately, I enjoy the game. But perennial issues such as sounds, AI (it has races, so should have vaguely decent ai...hell, I saw better ai in PS1 games) etc show that all they care about is how the game looks...the rest is just stuff that is needed to release the game (eg, the perfectly mapped stars....great visually but then they removed 24 hour races etc which would have showcased this; lunar missions...great visually but completely pointless etc etc). Yes, they have made a good game which has plenty of positives but they could have made a great game if they had spent time on the "other "stuff that isn't visuals....and all that adds up to a lack of leadership by Kaz and a lack of caring about the game anymore (after all, he has more important things to do with his time than worry about a computer game!)

You may not agree with me, which is fair enough...I respect all opinions but you cannot deny that, while great visually, the game is severely being held back by a lack of respect for the other parts of the game

I heard somewhere on youtube that the rift is not coming to ps4 because the rift developer said that the ps4 can't handle the rift but the funny thing is they're considering to use it for tablets (portable game consoles etc). So if that happens Sony might come up with its own VR headset for ps4. I'm also looking forward that they use the rift for educational purposes like "what its like to be an insect" or use it in virtual tourism since most of us can't afford to travel abroad. And of course horror games!

The future of GT is to sell you the option to buy piece by piece GT5 for $60.

Yes... for $60 you get the privilage of purchasing via DLC process ...so you can shell out $5000 in 2 years to Poly-phony. Ha Ha!

Instead of this being about the GT Fans, it has now become being about Poly-Phony and we are just schmucks for them to abuse... Tsk Tsk.


This is the future of GT.
