#GRAN TURISMO 7 NEWS SERIES#
It's a small detail, but that's why this series is so significant. And unlike a huge moment during a Formula 1 race, the folks in the booth seem to know when not to cut away from the action. The positions and panning during replays are the best they've ever been.
#GRAN TURISMO 7 NEWS DRIVER#
We found a few familiar Detroit streets (not too far from Car and Driver headquarters), parking garages, and buildings from our own photo shoots in this mode.
Scapes uses more than 2500 locations in over 40 countries. Now, with ray-tracing, the images created can be difficult to discern from reality. Extra details like brake dust, tire dirt, and damage can be added to cars in Scapes mode, adding to the realism of photographing a car on snow or dirt. The Gran Turismo photo mode, Scapes, has received more configurability options.
It doesn't just sound less like a herd of cars, but more like different cars at different speeds in different parts of the track. The 3D audio is easier to notice in replays, as the camera pans across multiple vehicles, all shifting and accelerating at different points. There were no deep burbles or dramatic backfires in any of the cars we sampled from GT7, but overall the improved directional audio, surface, and wind noise helped simulate something real. Players can also adjust the volume for tire squeal, transmission, and opponent's car sound. This might be because early into our review time we opted to fully crank the engine noise, a setting in the various menu options. The 3D spatial audio was a little harder to perceive. During a race at the Tokyo Expressway, it was raining harder in some corners than others. The racetrack's best line will begin to dry after lapping, returning grip and different driving characteristics to that area of the track. This is especially obvious in the cockpit camera: as your driver saws at the wheel, there's head bobble and shake. The chassis twists and bends independently from the tires. It doesn't seem like cars are clinging to a horizontal plane atop a flat surface anymore. It really comes down to a better depiction of suspension travel and car control. There's a noticeable difference between the driving physics in Gran Turismo 7 and the series' last installment, Gran Turismo Sport. It's not as impressive as the adaptive triggers, but feeling even the most subtle feedback in your hands from drivetrain or tire movement is worth the extra battery consumption. Put the right side of the car onto curbing, and only the right side of the controller rumbles. Rather than shaking like an angry rattlesnake, the haptic feedback accurately adds vibration to specific parts of the controller.
The trigger for acceleration feels different than the trigger for braking, just like real foot pedals. However, the resistance in both triggers does make for the most dynamic sense of driving we've experienced from a controller. Although the adaptive triggers do deliver a sense of electronically assisted accelerator or brake like you'd find on most cars today, it's no replacement for an actual direct-drive steering wheel and pedals.
#GRAN TURISMO 7 NEWS SIMULATOR#
When GT7 teased its adaptive trigger and haptic feedback functionality for Sony's PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, racing fans rejoiced-those without an amateur NASA spaceship simulator in their living rooms, anyway. The HDR visuals during normal gameplay, and ray-tracing technology that's only available during replay, photo, and demo modes, had us window shopping the car dealership menus just to admire the visuals. Sure, it's available on PS4, but the more powerful PS5 console connected to a 4K television is truly the best way to experience everything GT7 wants to show you. Today's gaming hardware highlights some of our favorite features about GT7. That barely scratches the surface of what Gran Turismo is today, but when game studio Polyphony Digital's CEO, Kazunori Yamauchi, said this is the most complete Gran Turismo game ever, he wasn't playing. And, after an event, the audible metallic clinking from steamy brakes fresh off the circuit. Getting pulled off course from standing water on the racing surface. It's the static chassis slouch in photo mode from the car parked with its front wheels angled.
