Given the much smaller install base of PS3 gaming machines in households worldwide, many pundits thought that the 5th iteration of the Gran Turismo series would struggle to reach the lofty heights of its predecessors.
Not so.
Sony AI and Polyphony Digital announced the global release of Gran Turismo Sophy 2.0, an innovative AI racing agent in the Gran Turismo 7.
Between Sophy and PSVR 2, Polyphony is REALLY pushing videogames forward into a whole new era.
"Gran Turismo has to run on the PlayStation 5, and that means Sophy cannot consume all the computing resources of the machine."
Interesting - I thought at first Sophy was controlled from their server farms. Seems like they've got it running locally.
Remon: "I didn't expect Gran Turismo 7 to be the most relaxing and soothing game on Playstation VR2 . Yes, it's a high speed racing game with extremely realistic physics. But for me, next to Tetris Effect Connected, it's become the most meditative PSVR 2 experience. What's even more surprising is that Gran Turismo 7 in PSVR 2 doesn't make me sick despite its high speeds.
Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi spoke to me via video chat to discuss why the GT7 feels so enjoyable to drive and what inspired his design choices."
I was very careful not to push myself when i first popped GT7 in VR, by limiting myself to 30 min sessions. I got sick from Drive Club VR. Surprisingly, even after hours of playing on a Gr 3 race, I don’t get sick now.
Because the nature of GT games. The game and the camera is static as ever, and it very usable and a prefect way to play racing game with long sessions in VR.
Almost 20 years after its release, a set of cheat codes for the PS2 game Gran Turismo 4 has been discovered.
The article SHOULD say, “BLAST FROM THE PAST! Old school gamers in awe as GT4 cheat codes are discovered after 2 decades. These “cheats” offered free treats for gamers added time savers, additional ways to play, and more. Some magazines had sections or complete issues dedicated to them. Sound strange? Gamers today know them by another name, DLC or Downloadable content…
GT4 was my first ps2 game. I loved it, but the disc stopped working before I could complete it and I never got it replaced feelsbadman.
man.. that money glitch is making mi head creazy!
Its cuz GT5 is the shiznit
You keep counting shipments and of course it will seem that way. I mean Dead Space 2 shipped 3 million but we all know it hasn't sold as many. Why does ship = sales when it comes to ps3 exclusives?
I think word of mouth is far better on the PS3 over PS2 was, because you're online, everyone sees what your playing, so they go out and buy it to.
So maybe thats why the install base can be smaller and still look to do just as well if not close to GT4 sales.
