I honestly shed a tear reading this.
GT7 is going to be really good.

SullysCigar999d ago

I'm going to need PSVR2 details, but it really does sound awesome already.

I expect (and hope for!) that announcement to come with a NG headset in December. GT Sport was amazing in VR, but way too limited due to hardware. Their next effort will be a huge improvement.

Aussiesummer998d ago

I wouldn't count on it, it's still being held back by that same limited hardware.

Day one for me. It’s the only simulator I play. When I want to go flying down the street raising hell, it’s Forza Horizon. When I want a ACTUAL simulation hardcore racer I accept no substitutes. Gran Turismo all the way.

bacano999d ago

If you're into actual hardcore simulators, why Gran Turismo over Asseto Corsa or iRacing? Just curious

Deathdeliverer999d ago

I didn’t like the last asseto corsa (didn’t like GT Sport either- it was more like a spin-off trial than a real GT which is why it wasn’t numbered) and I stopped playing PC games a few years ago. I’ll probably get a top notch desktop sometime in 2022 though. Maybe I’ll see what’s around then. In the mean time though, it’ll be GT7.

All cars/tracks are approved by the FIA, TAG Heuer is sponsor, partner and TIMEKEEPER for GT Sport without whom

there would never been an F1/GP championship.

Car manufacturers etc don't announce partnerships at kiddie gaming shows but

at International Car shows. Concept/"Vision" cars have been given to GT fans first to test drive and THEN

Gran Turismo is enjoyable and fun while hardcore simulators are not.
Not to mention very expensive just to get into it.

bacano998d ago

Thanks, those are interesting facts indeed, even if some of them are not directly related to simulation. I mean, as a Williams fan I love TAG Heuer liveries, but I don't think that their presence impacts how accurately cars are reproduced. The exclusive release of concepts cars is pretty cool though.

Asseto Corsa milestones are not that impressive, but the work they have made to capture the feedback of real cars is at an obsessive level, particularly with Lamborghini and Ferrari. About iRacing I don't know that much, but Max Verstappen loves it.

For the record, I love GT. I remember how amazing the Giraud shading looked when the first one came out. It was the future.

Check out Assetto Corsa is you enjoy hardcore simulation driving games. Project Cars 2 also holds up well.

Deathdeliverer999d ago (Edited 999d ago )

@Colbertinator

I’ve never tried Project Cars actually. It’s that good huh? All the different race types that are in GT are in Project Cars? Rally, F1, Drag, Street race, track race, so forth on some real tracks and courses?
*edit*
After a quick google search Project Cars 2 even has go carts 🤣😂 Wow. I might have to see if that’s the game I’ll get to hold me off to GT. That sounds awesome.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for stating a fact. Out of all the so called simulators, Assetto Corsa is regarded by most sim purists as being the closest to how the actual cars handle and drive in real life. The detail in the nuances of driving is astonishing. It puts GT to shame in the "sim" aspect. Assetto is lacking in the fun stuff, though. Still, if you find just driving cars fun, then Assetto cant be touched. I'd absolutely love it if GT7 was complete in VR, though. The love PD puts into the aesthetics of the cars would be porn in VR.

@mikey

Money talks, son. Just because it is the official licence, it doesn't mean jack shit. Stop shilling for an inferior sim. And I say this as a fan of Gran Turismo. But I like being as close to the real thing as possible, and GT ain't it. Not even close.

They went nuclear option to stop car and save modding.
Come on man all they need is a system that will detect abnormal PP and car data so they will ban players the second they joined online.
But so much of their single player features require internet so they already knew that they already have so many loopholes for hackers modders to do what they do best.
So in a way I can't blame them going such extreme practice.
Not happy about that and we still stuck with 16 car grid.
RT is currently only on replays and garage so they still have 5 months to make that work during races but won't be a deal breaker for me if they still can't.
Disappointed but understandable still getting the game regardless.

Extermin8or3_998d ago

The fia likely required them to go nuclear to stop cheating via save file editing. It's likely a precondition fir the fia to license the game.

Konami didn't recover after ditching Kojima, but this Metal Gear revival is its best shot

With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.

Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.

Cacabunga13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

If this turns out good and gamers support it we will get the other ones.. i really hope we get MGS original in zanzibar, Peace Walker and Portable Ops remakes after this one.. they are related with naked snake

Portable Ops was sooooooo good and underrated

gold_drake10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Konami might not be super active in the videogame business anymore, or less, but they still make a ton of money with their collections and pachinko machines.

and their castlevania series on netflix is really successful also.

@jinsing

Your dislikes shows this sites situation

Konami has been doing all of that for years now like there contra games or mgs ports

mgs survive anyone

isarai17h ago

When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV

jeromeface14h ago

Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.

Redgrave13h ago

Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.

Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.

But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.

Inverno11h ago

It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.
