Gran Turismo 7 - Deep Forest Raceway Gameplay

Enjoy a flying lap on Deep Forest Raceway in Gran Turismo 7 captured on PS5™.

[thesoftware730]

Wow, hopefully the video is just compressed too much. Graphically this pales a lot in comparison with Forza 5.

I know they are 2 different styles of gameplay, but man, that is an unimpressive video.

[TheTony316]

They're not really comparable. FH5 has the advantage of being an open world arcade racer. You can only do so much in a track based racing sim when it comes to locations and enviromental detail. Forza Motorsport 8 vs GT7 would be a fairer comparison.

[King Nezz]

Huh??? I mean there's less to render since it's a closed track racer. You can crank up textures, AA, density, and car models. I expect this and Forza 8 to look better than a huge open-world racer like Horizon 5.

[TheTony316]

King Nezz

There's less to render but a closed racing track will always look dull compared to a big open world setting. There's not much vegetation to add if the real track it tries to replicate doesn't have much to to begin with. Car models and lighting look really good.

[Si-Fly]

You realise Deep Forest Raceway is a fictional track right? 🤣

[TheTony316]

Si-Fly

I know. I'm talking about GT in general.

[Newmanator]

That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

[Silly gameAr]

Damn, sorry. I was right the first time. I should have had my glasses on because I can barely see anything.

[KillBill]

That argument is completely opposite to the issue at hand.

[dumahim]

Yeah, but why is the track practically spotless? It should have marks all over and discolored on the racing line through the curves. It could be livened up a bit with some damage in places, more advertising signage, etc.. There's large open grass areas shown near the end off to the right that feel really out of place at a race track. You'd usually see fans sitting there or used for parking.

[bouzebbal]

I love this series, but I’m not impressed with car models they need lot of Polish.. this is the first GT game that isn’t photo realistic on the gameplay trailers.. let’s see if they can pull it off

[GhostScholar]

Technically an open world is harder to have amazing visuals than a track by track game like gt. That's a nonsensical comment. You're making my point for me. Thanks.

[ElvisHuxley]

Look at the lighting on the trees, on each individual leaf, it's better than Forza, which is saying something for a youtube video. Just because something is flashy doesn't make it better than something else. Excessive lens flare alone doesn't equate to great visuals. Sim racers aren't trying to be flashy, and they're not for everyone. If you like the flashiness and over the top style of arcade racers, Forza is probably better for you. Forza is fun, but it's not a serious racer, nor is it trying to be.

[gravedigger]

GT games always had the state of the art lighting.

[RaidenBlack]

Most people are drawing comparison based off of purely from visuals.
Yes, FH5 & GT7 are from different racing genres ... but nobody's comparing the mechanics or the functionalities (you need hands on for that for both games). So purely visual comparison is an interesting venture. Just the visuals of which both can be seen side by side in a web browser.
So, here's Horizon 5's cockpit view driving on road (with minimal vegetation in FoV) :
https://youtu.be/u5OnWHpu5k...

[1Victor]

@RaidenBlack thanks for the video I noticed that it have a lot of magic trees half baked and popping up details when you get closer something I didn’t see on gt7 🤷🏿
Everyone should enjoy what they have and stop putting down other games.
We can compare all we want but ultimately we can only do superficial comparisons like graphics we don’t know which is better as they are running on different hardware and controller can make a difference on game quality.

[NXFather]

Here is a better comparison than the one Raiden black gave.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[RaidenBlack]

@NXFather
Bruh, that's an old comparison video from 3 months ago using 30fps compressed FH5 footage for the cockpit gameplay.

[King Nezz]

@1Victor
Talking about popup or the lack of proper reflection updating, the green car at the 54 second mark has a texture morph or do something taken out of R&C: Rift Apart and at the 1:21 mark, those reflections on all the cars in the tunnel look horrid.

[Amplitude]

It looks amazing, dont get me wrong. But i just have to comment on the trees man, The pop-in of the lighting on the trees is really rough and the 2D cutouts of leaves rotating with the camera like Mario 64 is inexcusable at this point in time. I always find it a bit distracting and kind of ugly. Trees have always been the only bad part of Gran Turismo and its better here but... come on.
Motorstorm did it too and it constantly took my eyes off the road to stare at the textures rotating with the camera lol

[EvertonFC]

You stare at trees while racing ?

[0hMyGandhi]

@EvertonFC
Do you not notice trees while driving? or buildings? or pedestrians?

As far as games go, and especially Gran Turismo, I sure as hell will notice the environment I'm driving through far more than whatever meticulously detailed array of 3d-modeled bulbs are housed in the headlamps.

[dbcoops]

@AlexMuncatchy

"Do you not notice trees while driving? or buildings? or pedestrians?"

Not at 130 miles an hour with cars all around me doing the same speed I dont. This is a racing game not a casual drive around town game. What I do notice quite easily though is the fanboy nitpicking going on so people can rip this game apart.

[dumahim]

And hardly anyone has any serious complaints about the LOD pop-in with FH5 in performance mode which seems more obvious there than what's going on here.

[DJStotty]

The 2D trees have pop in textures around most of the track, they almost look plastic.

The car/track details seem spot on, but i feel more work needs to be done on the environment, whether this is a sacrifice to get RT running @4K, who knows, but for me the environments in other racing games look better.

[IRetrouk]

Dj that's a shadow culling issue not texture pop, same thing happens in halo, only more aggressive. Also, not 2d trees.

[gravedigger]

Forza Horizon 5 is native 4k at 30 fps in quality mode. And in performance mode is 1600p-4k. This is native 4k at 60.

[Sayai jin]

Does it have race tracing?

[Bruh]

and Horizon 5 looks a whole generation ahead of this game visual wise loll

[SurgicalMenace]

You guys are aware that this is a YOUTUBE video, how about we pull up Ratchet & Clank to see how much fidelity YouTube captures there? I've NEVER seen ANY racer show as much detail as GT and this is after owning Forza, Dirt, GRID, etc. Drive Club was the closest, imo.

[dumahim]

@Sayai jin
Yes, in Forzavista, similar to how it will be in GT7.

[Orchard]

It’s dynamic res if you enable the performance mode - not native.

[thesoftware730]

grave,

Ohhhh, I get it, that explains why it graphically pales compared to Forza 5.

[gravedigger]

@Bruh

Sure. In your Xbox fantasy land

[CrimsonWing69]

I’m sorry but can you elaborate on what exactly pales in comparison? What it looked at was impressive in the sense that it looked almost photorealistic. What are you unimpressed with specifically?

[darkrider]

Pales... Dude, you really don't know what you are talking. Better rewind again the video. From lightning, to reflections, to Tyre noise.... Again rewind, something that you must be used to do...

[Father__Merrin]

i find forza horizons 5 just a slight step up from forza horizons 4, i think you dont like realistic visuals and prefer open world colour

[0hMyGandhi]

I love how adding color magically means that something is unrealistic.

[badz149]

@AlexMuncatchy

dude...please tell us you don't think FH5 is realistic. it's as arcadey as it gets in terms of driving and racing

[dbcoops]

Agreed 100%, they are acting like Horizon 5 is a generational leap over Horizon 4 and it is not.

[0hMyGandhi]

@Badz149

I don't think the color palette lends itself to making Forza unrealistic........It's an arcadey-racer.
The color palette has nothing to do with it.

[DJStotty]

@badz149

"please tell us you don't think FH5 is realistic. it's as arcadey as it gets in terms of driving and racing"

Which is why it is an Arcade racer, (slaps forehead)

GT7 will be compared to Forza Motorsport when that is launched 22/23, not FH

[Sayai jin]

Forza 5 has been released and the gaming community as a whole has spoken and it reached critical acclaim. I am sure GT will release and be widely praised as well. It brings a solid racer to the PS5.

Forza is solid and GT will be solid and one ends up being better than the other, so.be it. People that play on only one console won't be bothered. Just enjoy games people.

[DarXyde]

Even then, it's a bit apples to oranges. It would be kinda like comparing Ni-Oh to Ninja Gaiden. Thematic and mechanical similarities, certainly... But two fundamentally different experiences for what you're into. One may not necessarily be better than the other, but does cater more to what someone else is into.

[Sayai jin]

Agreed, as I understand the differences between the two, nut they will be compared since they are "racers". The issie is that many ha e to bash the other when comparing. Forza is great and I am sure GT will be great to. Neither franchise has ever disappointed.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

The cars look better than fh5. The track details are lacking though. Its hard to compare really. Race tracks don't have mud or puddles or foliage. So is it technically worse or just a matter of design?

[0hMyGandhi]

they have a visual "budget" to stick to, and so they need to pick and choose what is modeled and detailed and what is not.

The issue I have is that Polyphony overworking certain details and ignoring other areas. They remind me of that one guy in art class who can draw a super realistic eye, but can't for the life of them, depict a human face.

[dumahim]

I think it needs to be dirtied up a bit. Looks a bit sterile. The track should be marked up a bit from skids and have discoloration along the driving line through the curves. Maybe a little damage or imperfections here and there and a bit more advertising signage.

[Fonsecap]

I kinda have to agree with you, at least they should give foliage some animation, trees and almost everything else is so static.

[ooquis]

Pace yourself my friend, your gonna be talking about Forza 5 for the next 3 years before you have something new to talk about. Pace yourself!

[yeahokwhatever]

I play FH5 on my PC with everything maxed out. You're high, sir.

[gravedigger]

Quote :

:Ohhhh, I get it, that explains why it graphically pales compared to Forza 5.

......

Sure bud. Just with lighting system, GT7 demolish Forza

[UltimateRacer]

Looks great, people need to remember it doesn’t release until next March so plenty of work is still being done to the game but it’s very exciting.

[TinkerNation]

That's in 3 months. Around 2 months until the game has to go gold, and there's very little that they can change in 2 (or even 3) months, especially in terms of graphics. It will be mostly finalizing content, and bug fixes.

[fr0sty]

You do realize separate teams work on all of those things, right?

[Orchard]

@fr0sty Only the graphics team works on graphics… and there will obviously be graphics bugs to fix as they go through cert.

Realistically when you factor in cert and printing disks etc, they have about 1-2 months left, plus some Japanese holidays in the middle reducing it a bit further.

No one is adding or improving things, and shaking the jello, that close to release unless the game is launching as a mess OR being delayed.

[UltimateRacer]

I remember saying that myself when GTSport was 3-4 months out and that changed and got better before release.

[EazyC]

I think most of the work being done at this point relates to bugs/functionality. It won't look any different to this playing it.

[Flawlessmic]

It does look great i dont get what people are not picking over, definitely looks way better than gt sport!.

As far as forza 5 goes that game looks and plays brillant have had a really good time with it but they are 2 different games so not sure why there being compared.

Gt will always look sterile next to a game like forza, its a simulator what do you want exactly.

So pumped for this though i wasnt a fan of sport so iv basically waited a full generation to get a tradtional gt!!

[iplay1up2]

Funny, when Flight Simulator released, and with the most realistic Sim of the entire WORLD, Sony fans said "I am not interested in sims". Flight Simulator is still going to be the most detailed, realistic game out there. Especially in the areas Microsoft has photo realistic technology implemented. PC and Series X show a very realistic world.

Real time whether! You can literally fly through a Hurricane, in real time. Every plane is detailed from top to bottom. So GT is amazing looking, but it doesn't come close to being as realistic as Flight Simulator.

[IRetrouk]

"Flight Simulator is still going to be the most detailed, realistic game out there."

"You can literally fly through a Hurricane, in real time."

🤯🤦‍♂️

[dumahim]

This is Polyphony. I'm betting on another delay.

[where-eagles-dare]

To me, this just looks like a slightly updated version of Gran Turismo sport playing on a PS4 pro. I watched this gameplay on an Oled display and I was not impressed. From a visual standpoint, the sterile clean and empty style of the visuals has hardly changed in 20 years.

I don't care if I get crucified for saying this but from someone who is a PS5 owner and who has never purchased an Xbox console, I was far more excited by the visuals from the latest Forza title.

[ElvisHuxley]

I've been following this game somewhat, and I own Forza Horizon 5 for PC, but this is an absurd comment.

[mcstorm]

I am with you on this. I don't know if its just that the leap in power is no longer there compared to past consoles but I was not wowed by this at all.

Even though gt5 was a mess some cars and tracks made me go wow. Horizon 5 made me go wow this is a step up but I feel we are yet to see this with the new Gen consoles.

[EazyC]

It truly is becoming difficult to get meaningful improvement in graphics for racing games.

The new Assetto Corsa will probably be the new benchmark.

[darkrider]

Forza horizon is a colorful arcade racer. This isn't. This is closer to reality. From braking, to tires, to suspension. This is closer to real driving and not something with planes and fireworks... Horizon is a good game, but got nothing to do with gt.

[King Nezz]

Colorful? Someone has not seen Horizon 5 in HDR or Dolby Vision. You know, features that try to make colors more vivid and realistic at the same time. In Dolby Vision, everyone I asked about its looks have said it looks realistic. Gran just looks flat. And sure, Youtube videos lose detail. But it should not look bland. They do have time to adjust small little details. But as someone with a PS5, I'm not too excited. I'll pick it regardless. Just don't know if the immersion is there when it comes to its visuals. I know gameplay wise it'll be great.

[King Nezz]

@PrinceAli
What are you talking about? There's a reason why people prefer HDR over resolution. The extension of the color gamut adds colors to what we are more likely to see in real life. Hence why a game could look great without HDR but have too much contrast making it look cartoony. Hell even techradar says it.

"HDR is bringing media closer to what the human eye sees, and by doing so, is creating more realistic images, from scenes bleached with sunlight to nighttime shots on city streets.

Here's the big takeaway: HDR TVs and content will display a more realistic color range, with an expanded contrast ratio to make black parts of the image look closer to 'true' black."

So let me guess, you know more than a site that's know for... tech? Go read up to find more about HDR and don't just go to Wikipedia.

[iplay1up2]

Still, this doesn't come close to the Realism of flights simulator. Again, specifically, In areas where Microsoft implemented photo realistic technology. It looks great, but not as realistic as Flight Simulator.

Also the lighting in Horizon 5 is better. Drive through the jungles in H5. Absolutely stunning. Of coarse I am talking about the PC and Series X versions.

[King Nezz]

@PrinceAli
You sound like a complete buffoon. Going by your typing skills, if you did study what you claim to have studied, it must've been at some community college under a high school basement.

Are you trying to say Horizon 5 and the series as a whole are more along the lines of a R&C title? Just because a game uses a more colorful palette and higher contrast/saturation doesn't mean it's more on the cartoonish side. Hell, look at fighters. Was Street Fighter a more cartoonish game versus the old-school Mortal Kombat because of its are style or colors? What game is more likely to headline an Esports competition? The less colorful MK 1 or the colorful Street Fighter II? The only good comparison you made was Crackdown and Ratchet & Clank. Those 2 games are definitely not trying to look realistic like a tree outside my house. But even because their art styles were not meant to make those games realistic looking, that doesn't mean HDR can't be used to give those games more vividness, bold, and more realistic colors that improve their look and feel. Here's my last example. Take Naughty Dog's top 2 franchises. Uncharted 4 and TLoU 2 look amazing outright. But they are more on the higher contrast/saturation side. Are they to be considered kiddie because without HDR their vegetation and foilage look nothing like the more realistic Crysis and its grass and trees? Those games offer a great action/adventure experience that with the implementation of HDR makes them look more on the realistic side. Even considering they don't achieve that without HDR. Your argument is flawed.

Take my advice, go back to school. You wasted your education.

[Stanjara]

I remember that being said for the GTS, not much improvement over PS3.
PS4 pro is a mistake.

Oh boy were people wrong.

It looks awesome to me. Can't wait!

Oh, and I don't want to race against howercraft and planes.

I was actually surprised that Horizon doest have a bus drop at the beginning of the race.

[derek]

Who cares, it looks good enough and it sounds fantastic. I want to know how it feels to drive once I get everything set up.

[badz149]

to be fair to GT Sport, it does still look really great when playing on the Pro or PS5.

[where-eagles-dare]

GT Sport in my opinion looks stellar, but I'm just expressing my initial disappointment that the upcoming games graphical style looks far too similar to the aforementioned title.

I was hoping for more. Perhaps I was led to believe we should expect photo realism. I have no doubt whatsoever the game will be absolutely tremendous from a gameplay perspective and I will get it day one but I'm just a smidgeon let down by the similarity with prior iterations.

I do however feel a little jaded with this franchise & feel that the developers could benefit from trying to add some new elements. I do realize this is not an arcade simulation, but I'd like to see improvement with regards to weather & damage implementation.

[cyberFUTUR3]

"this just looks like a slightly updated version of Gran Turismo sport playing on a PS4 pro"

Sorry but no : https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Big improvements, not slighty updates imo.

[where-eagles-dare]

Do you have reading comprehension skill problems? You even use my direct quote where I'm talking about Gran Turismo sport on the PS4 pro, but your link is Gran Turismo six.

Ironically, your video only serves to illustrate exactly what I'm talking about, whereby I am critical of the graphical style looking somewhat flat, vacant and empty & not the advancement I was hoping for. Forza impressed me more graphically and I say that as a PS5 owner who is very much looking forward to the new iteration of Gran Turismo and will be buying the title on day one.

[Imalwaysright]

That's a comparison between a PS3 game and a PS5 game.

[cyberFUTUR3]

Oups, really sorry, my bad, it's true I'm wrong. :-/

[yeahokwhatever]

the latest, FH5, isnt even close to this in visuals. I know, i play it all the time. FH5 is the best open-world racer for sure. But visually it sucks vs. GT7 or even sport, to be honest. look at the details in the cockpit, the lighting, the polycounts. Its not even in the same realm.

[dbcoops]

Looks fantastic, cannot wait. Day One!

[SullysCigar]

Looks awesome - and I'm gonna play this bad boy in PSVR2 next year!

But man, you gotta hate to be cool, just look at all the threatened comments in this thread...

[dbcoops]

Yep 540 degrees for this article and straight to the top of the list thanks to the hate bandwagon. Only took one video too, they should pace themselves as I'm sure we'll be getting more videos before the games launches, they should save some of that vitriol and concern trolling for later.

[stonecold3]

dont know why people compared forza a arcade racer to sim gt7 both game are diffrence anyway cant wait fot gt 7 to come out

[EazyC]

They're both kinda arcadey, by modern standards. "Simcade" is the correct term. So I think you can compare Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo directly, even if GT is a little more realistic..

[dbcoops]

GT is not "arcadey" in the least. People use it as a training tool to become actual real life auto racers, no one is doing that with Forza.

[dumahim]

Right, but people are comparing it to FH5, not Motorsport.

[ActualWhiteMan]

Freeze it at 0:08 Seconds and you will see they used the same model of tree 3 times all next to each other.

Lazy.

[BehindTheRows]

Uh, that happens in EVERY video game.

[dbcoops]

Are you kidding me, three in a row! Ok that its I'm done with this series. I was really looking forward to it too but if you're telling me that if I pause the game while I'm passing by three trees at 130 miles an hour they are all the same tree then forget this game. When I buy a sim racer the first thing I expect is for all trees to be completely different. How dare you Polyphony, how dare you.

[BenRC01]

Let's be honest, just like there hasn't been a decent halo since halo 3, there hasn't been a decent GT since gt4.

[EazyC]

I think it's more that there hasn't been a GT as earth-shattering. GT3 in particular was a quantum leap in racing videogames, the jump up in quality from EVERYTHING before it was insanity.

After GT 4, it has become increasingly difficult to make them a meaningful step up in quality, much less "revolutionary"....i n a world where revolutionising a genre as mature as racing games would be near impossible.

Ultimately, the next truly great "leap" in racing games will be VR when it matches current 4K tv quality, that will make the whole industry sit up and listen . Although we've seen flashes of it, the full deployment of VR will make consumers go gaga again!

[yeahokwhatever]

GT5 was a huge leap from GT4.

[4U2NV]

So why has the latest gtsport sold almost 10 million copies?

[0hMyGandhi]

because there aren't many other racing sims out there, especially on console.

More importantly, why do you feel sales equal quality?
By that metric, Mcdonald's must make some god-like hamburgers.

That's not to say that Gran Turismo isn't an incredible series, but COD and Madden do gangbusters (usually) and some of my favorite games are ones that sold rather poorly.

[0hMyGandhi]

Love being called an Xbot when all I've bought are Sony's consoles.
I said "not many other" not "there are NO other games". One is an absolute, another is an estimate of a few.

Gran Turismo is a nearly 30 year old franchise. The other games you've mentioned are not.
Remember, I am *not* stating that these games are "bad", obviously, they are not.

But you are making it sound like Polyphony are some underappreciated underdog. They are not.

[BenRC01]

Same reason halo 4/5 shifted copies. Its the name. Won't last forever though.
If gt7 turns out to be mediocre like 5/6 I can see a shift happening.

[My_Name_is_Earl]

Sales aren't exactly always an indication of quality. CoD for instance is probably the highest selling series of all time.
Is it the best series of all time?

[Flawlessmic]

I dont know if id go that far, i loved all of them besides sport but gt4 hands down was the best gt for me

[z2g]

Not as gorgeous as forza horizon 5 on series x but I’m optimistic/hopeful it will be a return to form for GT. I’ll pick it up tho as I like the way the sim feels on GT

[BestBusdriver]

thesoftware730, King Nezz and where-eagles-dare ale totally spot on. I played all GT, all Forza motorsport and forza horizon. It s always the same....GT s menus, Scapes....fantastic looking!...then you play it and its...meh. ok lightning is good but all the rest??.. common guys is this why we bought next gen hardware? really?? This looks exactly like gt sport with a polish on it. and don t get me wrong...I m now level 100+ at horizon 5 and that games also feels to familair and more horizon 4,5 than 5. That s the problem...after a 5 th or 6 th it s time for something new. But horizon 5 is open world and looks way better than this...hell even driveclub looks better than this video...and yes I totally agree...racetracks are more blend and boring...but these graphics are not worth all those years of wait let alone ps5 worthy. It s like ...let s make 8K scapes and menu s....oh yeah and for racing itself let s use an 20th year old engine. bummer

[Levii_92]

Finally motion blur that's not only in the replay. Looking pretty good.

[Deathdeliverer]

Hold on. I’ve got to say Horizon looks great. It really does. However Gran Turismo looks the best. Maybe I’m tripping, and I’ve played a lot of Horizon, but I do not remember the other cars on the track reflecting of each other. Environmental items yes, car on car reflections? Don’t remember seeing that. Not just the reflections all basic either. Reflections in the tunnel blended with the reflections of other cars? The lighting in Forza is great but I’ll be danged if Gran Turismo isn’t even better. This will be showing on the PS5 news feed so we will be able to see it without the YouTube compression. That’s the crazy part. With the compression it looks amazing. The little detail on the paddle shifting is also nice. Nothing ground breaking but it’s good to see. Normally paddle shifting in games is a weird 4 finger motion. One finger on the wheel. In reality It’s a one to two finger quick tap.
Man picture when we finally get full next gen Forza and GT? Looking this hood cross gen? Can’t wait.

[IRetrouk]

Reflections of the track detail in the plastic of the mirror cover too...people are tripping lol

[YodaCracker]

Damn, Forza spoiled me.

[moriarty1889]

WTH?!? Doesnt look much different from GT Sport tbh. They have a long way to go. PS5 should easily be able to have this game on the same if not better level graphically than Horizon5 on the XSX.

[darkrider]

Yes, because the new forza horizon run at 4k60 frames locked and got Ray tracing. That wasn't possible on the last forza horizon.

[dbcoops]

The new Forza Horizon doesn't have ray tracing during gameplay.

"players will only be able to get the benefit of ray-tracing lighting effects and reflections when viewing cars in the Forza Vista mode from a Festival Site or at their home"

[EazyC]

Let's not forget that GT Sport is still one of the best looking racing games ever made. It is SO hard to make games look prettier than they currently do. Especially racing games.

[yeahokwhatever]

This video is not even really showcasing the best of GT7, just showing an updated version of an old fan-favorite track. I love playing FH5, its a really fun game. Visually its not on the same level at all. Maybe because I'm a car snob and interior/exterior vehicle accuracy matters more to me than lens flare and flying debris. There are weird inaccuracies with models in Forza, and the in-game interiors are just kinda mediocre for a 2021 game. For being open world is looks good though. GT7 looks way better. It dang near looks like real life.

[Nacho_Z]

I've got to be honest, at no point does that trick me into believing it's real life. It looks very much like a game. I don't know what specifically it's lacking in graphically but there's something missing.

Besides that gameplay wise it doesn't look much different to the GT games I was playing ten years ago. Polyphony needs new creative talent.

[EazyC]

That's kinda true. Assetto Corsa Competizione really does look like real life if you watch people playing it with triple monitors, especially at night.

[yeahokwhatever]

youtube compression kills the color range.

[EazyC]

Being completely honest, if someone told me this was a new track being played on GT Sport (a game I still play constantly) I wouldn't think twice. The only giveaway is the camera shake.

Now, I'm personally not that fussed because I'm more interested in content and physics...but being honest here, this is a microscopic step up in visual fidelity. I guess we'll see when it comes out.

[0hMyGandhi]

I'm getting sick and tired of the foilage. These trees look marginally better than GT5, which came out more than a decade ago.

[Good-Smurf]

When you thought PD nailed the lighting in GT Sport here it's even better!
Cockpit view feels more lively as well, more play in the camera effects giving more player feedback on car's behaviour.
And they sure changed a lot of Deep Forest environments layout were altered for more room but I'll continue that on GTPlanet.

[Sayai jin]

Game looks great. I'm not into racing games, but people should let people be happy for a game they want.

[Donjune]

Forza is my arcade game of choice, but when it comes to sims nothing comes close imo then the greatest car sim of all time. Gran Turismo rocks hard!

[Eonjay]

This looks really good. They lighting in particular is really on point. It's using Ray tracing and It looks realistic. Forza has very exaggerated colors and some people think that looks better but it just looks different. That makes Forza unique tho and the last thing we want is for all games to look the same. Also the sound in GT especially the engine sound and the ambient sounds for cars is proximity are utterly fantastic. The car models are exceptionally high also. GT is simulation and it nails the look. Forza is arcade and it nails its own look. GT shouldn't have to be a carbon copy of Forza for us to appreciate the high visual quality that GT is giving.

[0hMyGandhi]

....Except the ray-tracing isn't available during races.

[ironmonkey]

The die hard fans are pumped, just like all gt racers you will see it in big set competitions for money, and will sell like hot cakes easy. Quality racing will always beat the kiddy games. The grown up's are ready.

[0hMyGandhi]

speaking of grown-ups, how old are you? This comment sounds like something I'd hear shouted in my ear by a 12-year old who brags about his dad's Lexus.

[kayoss]

maybe this game should have been a PS5 exclusive. I mean, it looks good, but its not leaps and bounds compared to GT sport on the PS4 pro.

[Bigman4k]

I'm a car nut and I really appreciate the suspension behavior for the cars during turn in and heavy braking. It's not something many people will notice or care but these little details are something GT does best.

[Bathyj]

It's the first thing I noticed and the most impressive part of the video. The body roll in the cars when braking/accelerating and turning is subtle but satisfying. Really lends to the realism it's going for, both in looks and gameplay.

[plmkoh]

It's really improved from GT Sport immensely. I know a person with a Jag F-Type and I'm fairly familiar with how it behaves at speed so as soon as I saw it in the vid roll around it was absolutely spot on being a heavier car with a little bit of softer suspension.

[Elda]

It looks really good,it doesn't look arcade-like it has more of a realism look.

[quenomamen]

I just hope they keep the ability to upload player created Art for the liveries.

[Kaze88]

Do people really sit so low in the car? cause I do not. when he is going up a hill he cant even see the road.

[Good-Smurf]

He driving Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 it's not gonna have great high view like you drive Honda CR-V.
You sit low to become one with the car that's classic. italian supercar design.

[Kaze88]

Im too poor to know this :D

[jznrpg]

Yes you sit low in sports cars .

[yeahokwhatever]

I do not in my sports cars. I like to see my hood a little.

[IRetrouk]

You can adjust it in sport, no doubt it'll be an option in this one too.

[KINGS47]

It looks like it plays just like Project Cars but maybe the DualSense will give it sum feeling in the hands. still, nothing like DRIVECLUB i swear.

[yeahokwhatever]

it amazes me that Driveclub is so good still. Visually kills most games coming out now. Most underrated game of the past 10 years.

[Stonilein]

All my homies like this map but why is the screen shaking so much

[edeprez]

The engine and tire sounds are awesome. Even on my phone, I can tell this is gonna sound great. I'm ready for this one! I totally passed on GT Sport, online games aren't my thing, this should bring me back.

[purple101]

I watched it on my.phone. thought it looked crap. Well average.

Then watched again on big screen. Lads, were in for a treat.

[cyberFUTUR3]

Imo : great improvements of the motion of the cockpit camera + of the shadows quality .

[repsahj]

...Wow cockpit movement so awesome compared to static in GT6. The lighting and sounds too. My only problem are the trees, though huge improvement from GT6 still didn't catch the feel realistically.

[Killer2020UK]

People are comparing Forza 5 which looks like a heavily graded and stylised production e.g. Top Gear, Grad Tour etc with GT7 that looks like fairly raw POV footage from a helmet cam.

Given that one is an open world, highly polished arcade experience vs one that is an out and out sim, you really can't say that the graphics are lacking. It's the presentation style that's different, that is all.

Side note: the way the other cars move on the track as their centre of gravity shifts under braking, acceleration and steering changes, is absolutely beautiful.

[Magog]

Looks great. If it was shown as a 3rd person replay camera people would be drooling even more.

[Orchard]

I’m probably going to skip on this just out of principle if they don’t reverse the always online.

I can live without a racing game anyway and Q1 2022 is already packed.

[Flawlessmic]

I always figured you were an xbox owner going off what i can remember from previous comments, i take it ur not as you would defs be playing forza. If u do have one then you should defs be playing it, its awesome.

In terms of always online for gt7 as much as i dont like the always online, i dont think that should stop anyone from playing what is sure to be another great entry in the series.

[Orchard]

I do have an Xbox One and a PC game pass subscription. Also got PS4, PS5 and Switch. PS5 + PC are my primary platforms though.

Forza did get good reviews, but for me, racing games are easily skippable tbh. They don’t provide the feeling of progression that I need in a video game really. Totally a personal preference of course and doesn’t mean racing games aren’t good games.

For the above reason though it makes it even easier for me to pass up. I’m sure others are going to love it and it’ll review well for sure.

[gravedigger]

Check this out. :

Looks like Orchard's double standard. Exposed! He said that he won't play GT7 because it requires online, but look at this :

@dark1x
My biggest complaint regarding Halo Infinite really is that the disc doesn't contain a playable game. This'll be the first Halo game you can't really own as a standalone copy. This is not a good trend and I hope MS reconsiders things like this.

https://twitter.com/dark1x/...

Internet connection an absolute requirement for getting Halo Infinite. But i guess, this doesn't bothers him for....Xbox game

[darkrider]

This means that you never played on Microsoft machines.... Because in those kind of shaddy stuff they are the number one the market by far. Always tryng to go one step forward.

[Orchard]

From what I’ve seen, most offline game modes are not always online on Xbox, PS, PC or Switch.

[gravedigger]

Skipping because always online....LOL.GTS is always online because FIA wanted it to prevent cheaters in races

"It’s dynamic res if you enable the performance mode - not native.
.....

I've mentioned that in performance mode FH5 has a dynamic resolution.

[Orchard]

It’s a personal preference, I’m against always online for single player experiences. It also totally cripples any kind of game preservation.

Yes, FH5 and GT7 both run at dynamic in performance. Native in visual fidelity modes.

[gravedigger]

GT7 doesn't have quality and performance mode. Neither GTS had that. What the hell you blabbing about

[Orchard]

Have you played it to confirm that?

There was an interview with Yamauchi a few months back where he stated there will be two graphics modes. We won't know for sure until launch, but obviously Yamauchi is a reliable source.

But what does it matter anyway? It'll be fine & totally playable in both modes. Plenty of games have two modes, it's normal nowadays.

https://as.com/meristation/...

[gravedigger]

Yes, you're right. Mixed with arcade/simulation modes like in previous GTs.

[RaiderNation]

After reading through the comments I've come to the conclusion that some of you really need to get laid!

[Bigman4k]

Nope people like you just hate to see so many people give honest opinions and wanna see all positive comments i included think the GS7 looks the same as it did on gt sports i would rather them delayed GS7 to 2023 to really showoff the power of PS5

[dbcoops]

"honest opinions", LOL! yeah that'll be the f-ing day.

[Bigman4k]

@dbcoops im sorry who are you again

[RaiderNation]

Ummm, I didn't advocate one opinion over another. I'm speaking about BOTH sides of the argument. Nice try though.

[Bigman4k]

@RaiderNation 😂🤣

[headshotfrosty]

I can tell it's going to look great. Pretty crumby video that seems compressed and not quite the best representation however it is what is being shown. I'm loving FH5 and I think this will serve the genre well once it's ready. Interior textures, lighting, and materials look good.

[TheColbertinator]

Looks good and seems to handle fine

[Einhander1971]

Forza 5 is a great looking game but a bore fest after a while. Bring back Motorstorm pure racing excitement.

[GamingSinceForever]

The Youtube comments are all positive while the N4G comments are mostly negative. Since Youtube represents the majority I’d say this game will do quite well.

[Rezwan]

Just Impressive

[Aussiesummer]

It's a shame to say the once sony graphical show peice just looks bland. I expected to be stunned by a next gen gran tourismo, bummer.

[Father__Merrin]

I've just come off forza hor 5 it looks good but only a slight bump up from forza hor 4. The main difference is cars look better in fh5

[Ethereal]

This track brings back so many memories. <3

[The_Sage]

I hope you can cut the frame rate back. It looks really fake moving that smooth.

I hate to say this as a guy that has a PlayStation 1 2 3 4 and 5 and haven't owned anything else since I bought my first PlayStation. DriveClub looks way better.
