Nice! I just got my first 120hz & VRR capable TV last Fall, so I'm excited to try these modes out. Sounds pretty decent w some caveats w the higher rez versions. I'm fine w dropping the rez a bit to have higher frame rate

Now if they will get extremely crazy and put in real cuteness with humans talking and there old game content.

I am referencing those cafe scenes with text on the bottom and a floating head.

I am a ps3 gran turismo fan but this new one with micro-transactions online 24/7 and dated single player with those old early 2000 pc cut scenes like really?.

I was hoping for something new not same old same old maybe forza horizon style sp?

Hopefully this new feature means more huge fixes incoming because we need more competition on the sim racing scene.

Heck bring back driveclub sony amazing ps4 title only thing i never liked was rain racing driveclub was so ahead of its time.

frostypants408d ago

I'd be all about a free GT7.5 patch that re-does the entire core UI and has a traditional career mode. They could make it optional, and it wouldn't need to impact the online races at all.

purple101408d ago

there are no micro transactions.

everything is earnable

no pay to win

you can buy cars faster if you wish to have them but there is no need to do so as you naturally unlock more than you need along the way just buy playing normally.

just to clarify for people

just_looken408d ago

@purple

I never said it was pay to win and in your own words you said there are still micro transactions.

What you just described is a moblie game you can grind for a few weeks or pull out your visa that is not the granturismo i grew up.

masterfox409d ago

so glad I decided to get myself in December an MSi 165hz 32 " QHD Monitor , all games look freaking amazing , few days ago I checked this mode in GT and it was pure eye candy , it definitely put a smile on my face! :D

just_looken408d ago

As a msi monitor owner watch out for over power draw or bumps there panels do not like that especially on there laptops.

But yes you can not beat a proper pc panel no doubt you already played horizon 2 on that bad boy.

masterfox408d ago

Thanks for the heads up, while gaming in PC a use alot that gaming intelligence app, currently at 120 hz mode to have that 10 bit color output, and with Racing configuration mode, the colors on the screen in all games are insanely beautiful, kinda a bit over saturated in that mode but not at a degree to cause an eye strain lol, and yes Horizon Forbidden West looks breathtaking, GT7, Ragnarok and others as well.

darthv72409d ago

I dont have a 120 / VRR tv but was looking to do this in VR2. Sadly it doesnt seem to do much now but i can see how they could make it work in future patches. Improved head tracking is a welcome tradeoff.

Knushwood Butt409d ago

Yeah, I tried configuring this for VR2 too. What's the story here?

kingPoS408d ago (Edited 408d ago )

My guess is that the psvr2 is rendering 60fps for each eye, which when rendered together from the ps5, is more or less 120fps.

For the game to run natively at 120fps with the psvr2, the ps5 would essentially have to render at 240fps

Gateway MT6706 2008

Knushwood Butt408d ago

That makes logic sense, but I think there's a setting to enable it in PSVR2. If so, what's the point if that is the default?

z2g409d ago

Hmm I’ll check that out!

darkrider409d ago

Truly impressive work from PD. What can they do next. 100 tracks, 1000 cars?

just_looken408d ago

Get a ps3 if you want more cars tracks

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC35d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier35d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k435d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8535d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga34d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS734d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto35d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies35d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS734d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast35d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo34d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
