Our man Phil goes mad in Gran Turismo 5 and races 24 Hours of Le Mans for real. By himself. Honestly he really does go mad, the voices told him. Actual voices, we're not joking here.
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.
Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi shares a personal message to celebrate this momentous milestone.
Wow 25 yrs just like that. Feels like only yesterday I was amazed by the first one.
jackass...
That's just nuts, the longest I've gone non-stop is about 6 hours on the Nurburgring, it was fantastic, but thoroughly draining.
Has anyone every completed Le Mans on their own in real life? I know Pierre Levegh managed 23 hours before messing up due to fatigue.
Even the 40lap race at nurburgring is draining enough,lol. I saved a few times during pitstops.
yeah cool cars in a exaggerated game like Forza 4 i don't see the beauty of driving 45-50 laps in the same circuit learn from Test drive where you enjoy your ride when you drive.
I don't think anyone here realizes that the same driver doesn't drive for 24 hours in these races, they have a team of 3-4 drivers, but it did use to be 2.
