GT7 will be a mark.

Gamers will believe racing games sells a lot again...

But well it is GT games that revolutionize and sells a lot... not the others games.

If you mean better Hollywood audio... yes.

Accuracy... in parts.

Some cars in GT are way accurate in sound than Forza but others are terrible... really trash.

Forza overboost the audio at Hollywood level.

Polyphony also got someone from Evolution Studios to do the UI. I look forward to the improved audio in GT7.
