Same rules as the GOW thread. (http://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?topic=6155.0) Give a high, medium, and low prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.

Review embargo ends when the countdown ends. Feel free to post predictions and edit them up till that time.

100:
99:

i'm not actually predicting but it will probably be low 80s.   basically the game will be as good or better than forza but it will lose 10 points for not being published by MS.

Sony's really pushing this as a return to form. Maybe they can pull it off.

Last gt I played was 3. Loved it.

Never going to play again lol.

I've only played GT4. Wasn't really my bag.

I've only played GT4. Wasn't really my bag.

GT4 is my fav lol. Played countless hours back in the day

I think I might give GT7 a try if i run out of other games to play. But I have a lot to play first.

I may eventually get GT7 just for VR.  

definitely not day-1. 

???? COMING SOON  ????

On 2/9, our team is excited to launch our Gaming Flagship and announce a breakthrough project in #AI created through a collab with Polyphony Digital Inc. (PDI) and @Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). Enjoy this sneak peek. https://t.co/XlHvBQuu1Q

so "drivatars" are coming. 

“Sophy is very fast, with lap times better than expected for the best drivers.”

The company built GT Sophy to master the game 'Gran Turismo,' but it may help the development of real self-driving cars. https://t.co/y0pUOJlucc

so like drivatars but instead of playing like crud it plays like a god. 

got it.

Confirmed: the Gran Turismo review embargo is 11:01 AM UK time on March 3rd. Look out for content from myself and @scully1888 around then on @VGC_News. pic.twitter.com/CwSZitALHT

UPDATE: I listed the Let's play embargo, which is launch.

REVIEW embargo is March 2nd @ 03:01 AM PST / 11:01 AM GMT / 12:01 PM CET / 20:01 PM JST / March 3rd 00:01 AM NZDT.

cool video.   i learned the only major difference between GT and real life is the presence of hot air balloons.

From what I understand, reviews should be coming later today.

88 from 45 reviews. Excellent reviews. Another hit for the PS5 (and well PS4).

The highest rated GT in 17 years.

The highest rated GT in 17 years.

Wow I'm surprised actually!

Yeah definitely a comeback for the series. Sport was reviewed low. GT6 reviewed worse than 5 and came after PS4 released so it was irrelevant. And GT5 released after multiple delays and didn't review as high as expecexpectations (still just 4 points lower than this).

Hopefully this will translate into better sales for the series

Holds that 88 remarkably well!

So close to perfection! Maybe it'll drop down.

Someone should tally all of these scores together.


One day.




One day.

It's the highest rated 87, could probably be bumped up to 88 again, with just a 9/10

Back to 88  ???

Gran Turismo 7 has been unplayable for hours today due to server maintenance after a bad patch. You can't even play the game offline right now, and the patch also makes the game more grindy https://t.co/L2JipEZRDr pic.twitter.com/CnKrCARY8j

The online stuff seems really dumb.

Can't play without online. Can't play right now with servers down

They patched the game to make it harder to get credits.

Down to 1.5 on user reviews. Although alot of the low scores are also from Russians angry that the game was pulled from the store, Sony are in the wrong for making this game online required. Hopefully update will correct that and Sony stop using a £70 (mostly single player) game to push PS Plus.

Wait you can't play this game without ps+?

You don't need PS+.  
But you can't play without an internet connection, or if PSN is down or if the GT servers are down.

yeah, that's BS.   same BS as what killed xbox one's launch.  what is sony thinking?!?

i know internet access is common place these days but i've had storms cause internet outages for a day or more before.   fudge not being able to play my games due to a dumb internet requirement.

Wait you can't play this game without ps+?

My bad. Got confused with multiplayer and online requirement.

I am assuming it's always online because they want to prevent cheating, and want to sell credits.

Can you just grant me the epic prediction win already?

This is the weirdest and frankly dumbest thing I've seen in video game design.

it's old and kind of cool for a "real driving simulator".   I would hate it anywhere else but this fits the franchise.

I don't think real world inflation should cause cars in a video game to be harder to get.  :P

"realistic"

in fact.   if there was ever a case to be made for NFTs it should be here.   GT could limit the top cars to the true number to be found in the world and make people bit and trade for them.

Did a player put those skid marks there? Pretty fun having them line up too. GT7 is a very accurate recreation of real life. Very uncanny valley at times.

Let's not forget that somebody made the ultimate score prediction for this game  8)

I'd never forget something like that, but I can't remember who that somebody was.

Not gonna lie those images stumped me for a minute on which was real and in game.  Then you start looking for real and can tell fairly easily

obviously the last image is a given. lol

Photoscapes ^

Apparently you can put GT7 cars in a real world environment.

I don't know what I'm looking at.

It sounds like GT6 used 3D models for the whole scene, but that was too time consuming.

I'm not sure how it calculates shadows.

Special cameras collect all of the relevant data I guess.

Using cameras developed specifically for the task, created by Polyphony Digital in partnership with Sony Alpha, the team captures 3D lighting data from the places it photographs -- from significant monuments, to beauty spots, race tracks, and even industrial buildings.

Summary stolen from Era

5 new cars (already announced)
- Nurburgring Endurance layouts
- A few new events
- 2 new extra menus
- Adjusted times for Missions, Licenses and Circuit Experiences to reflect the physics changes
- 120hz + VRR support (It's unclear, but I'm guessing it won't be a 120FPS mode and just unlocked performance for the regular mode)

120FPS Support (PlayStation 5 Only)
Gran Turismo 7 will support up to 120FPS with the latest 1.31 Update. PS5 and display capable of 120 Hz output required

Sounds like a full 120hz mode from this.

- 7 new cars
- 1 new track
- 4 player split screen
- Some GT Sophy implementation

Get ready for Spec II. The 1.40 update is largest since the release of Gran Turismo 7, adding a 4-player split-screen Couch Mode, Lake Louise Snow Circuit, 7 cars, Quick Race with SOPHY AI integration, 50 new challenges and more. Best of all, it's completely free. pic.twitter.com/pOxQ5rfXvh
