Edward and Tim kick off the big end of the year show! There will not be a show for the next two weeks due to the holidays and for Edward and Tim to have a nice little break and enjoy some family and game time. The community question is: What was your top 5 games this year? A lot of great answers were given. Tim announces the winner to the Gran Turismo 6 contest, the two boys go over their best gaming moments of the week and of course go off track and talk other things! So please enjoy the show and we will see you all next year!
A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.
Wow, crazy isn't it? The draw distance is vastly improved, the background textures too and there's ZERO shimmer now. And the replays are night and day!
EIDT: @below, Haha I didn't notice that!
Yeah, theres a massive improvment all round, Looks amazing with the time of day transitions too, me and a couple online buddies jumped on earlier to try it out lol, did you notice the beach full of seals?
That coastline looks amazing and I can only imagine it in VR! Looks like an entirely new course as far as scenery goes.
Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol
GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!
I got my confirmation and date (22nd) showing for the charging station. The headset itself has been in “shipped-processing” status since last Friday. I’m like dang can I see the date? I was in the first round of preorders. Whenever it does get here, I’m ready. Going to go update everything and try to get over this cold.
Wish you better, bud, fingers crossed for your order too.
@S2Killinit - Thank you!
Thanks man 👊
Word of advice: be ready for the impromptu jig that happens when that email drops, it can be embarrassing..
I know you and a lot of people are excited for VR but dont sleep on sophy, sophy is the real game changer here!
After giving sophy a run last night, i can safely say the actual racing in future GT's is going to be Fu***** amazing!!!
even on intermediate on some tracks the AI was coming back at me on my waiting for me to slip, attacking the space if i left the door open for them, honestly felt like i was racing against people and not some very limited AI that once i passed them they may as well have been eliminated from the race like GT ai normally is.
pump it up to expert and its a real challenge to stay ahead, the next level up from expert man the AI kicked my ass, like badly.
i remember when sophy was first annouced all the nay sayers said its a pipe dream and we will never see it implemented and here we are a yr later and sophy is being tested in game for us to try out and is every good as whats been promised.
VR plus racing against sophy and wowww your not gonna feal like your actually racing for real anywhere else outside of gt.
sophy will change the game in gt8
Hm I didnt realize it was like that. I didnt even know why there was so much hype about it. But thanknyou for explaining that. I mean I get it now.
But I’ll be seeing it in action tomorrow! Woot woot.
It's only for a limited time and only has 4 races but I encourage you and everyone else try it and see the difference compared to the normal Ai.
Sophy has slipped completely under the radar in this latest uodate

Starting with the top 128 best rated games on Metacritic and putting them head-to-head tournament style! The round of 16 for the March Madness Podcast. Vote for which games you think should go through!
GETL Podcast says: "In episode 81 we discuss the interesting nuance surrounding narrative and lore elements within video games, and how this interactive medium is both a boon and a curse for lore junkies".
The short answer is, it depends on the game and whether or not narrative is the focus. For example, maybe it's important to provide us with the social commentary that accompanies the fall of civilization as we come face to face with the dark side of humanity in the struggle for survival. On the other hand, maybe we just need to shoot zombies, and that's cool too. The videogame medium is versatile enough to allow for either approach, some combination of both, or something in between.
Awesome. Show guys I love this podcast
