Gran Turismo 7 PSN ID's on front page

The tuning menu is nowhere near as complicated as it looks. GT is genuinely my source of education on car parts and stuff because I'm also not much of an enthusiast. 99% of the time it's as simple as choosing the best item you have for each category.

The most complicated thing I ever did was identify that I'd tuned a car beyond the capabilities of the stock gearbox as it redlined in top gear (just four gears, old American muscle car), so I went and bought a racing transmission and customised the gear ratios. It's honestly really straightforward and self-explanatory, and I don't understand why Project Cars and Forza aren't as good at it (never played the Corsa one). I can't really even explain the difference but GT is somehow both deeper and more accessible and satisfies both filthy casuals and racing buffs.

To be honest the stock car/banger racing aspect of the beginning is my favourite part of the game

I don't think I've played a GT game properly since 2. Maybe 3. I transitioned over to Forza for a racing fix, and then Horizon.
But I'm quite tempted by this one.

Hmmm, I hope you can choose to just use the track-based replays instead of these “music replays”. They’re the best bit and something GT has always done better than anyone else. These new ones they’re showing off are a bit like the crappy Codemasters ones.

The pad would be worth it alone. The difference it makes to racing games is huge.

Yeah, I am quite intrigued to see what the difference is and how it’s better than the big standard rumble. Not tried one out yet.

I've had similar experience. Normally just get higher end upgrades, and then tweak gears to suit, occasionally tweaking suspension to try and get the steering I want but leave it at that.

In FH I love that you can download others tunes, and see how they compare to your current setup, but when doing your own I'm completely lost (for one, you don't seem to be able to see the easy comparison when doing it yourself).

That there 4k video of this State of Play was a bit special, think I may have to get this. The lesson on clouds and rain sold it to me. I'm also kind of surprised that a AAA game has split screen racing. Definitely not a common thing these days.

Not sure who this guy is but some new footage here. Looking like the AI could be good.

In fact, it's Polyphony and Sony specifically that have achieved this breakthrough looking again.

There was a few rumours going around that they're going to have real players AI in there whatever that means. Also there was this

So drivatars then?

Doesn't sound like it will be a part of GT7. Weird timing so close to launch, but seems like more of a scientific breakthrough than anything that will be any use to players for a while.

I wonder if this is what happened to the guy who saw Jesus in the code.

Figured with all that GT Sport data they'd just be cobbling bits and bobs of that. So that Porsche gets driver AI No2765b where it storms off early, being difficult to catch for the player, before spinning out on the 5th corner on the second to last lap, just as Eatmidust555 did on that rainy Tuesday afternoon long ago. Or something.

Two problems for me.

1- What exactly will it be like on PS4 ?
2- I'll spend days in the livery editor anyway.
