Now here’s something that you don’t see everyday – a Project CARS vs Gran Turismo 6 graphics and sounds faceoff video.
The action takes place on a very wet Brands Hatch circuit and we follow the BMW M3 GT in third person view.
A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.
Wow, crazy isn't it? The draw distance is vastly improved, the background textures too and there's ZERO shimmer now. And the replays are night and day!
EIDT: @below, Haha I didn't notice that!
Yeah, theres a massive improvment all round, Looks amazing with the time of day transitions too, me and a couple online buddies jumped on earlier to try it out lol, did you notice the beach full of seals?
That coastline looks amazing and I can only imagine it in VR! Looks like an entirely new course as far as scenery goes.
Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol
GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!
I got my confirmation and date (22nd) showing for the charging station. The headset itself has been in “shipped-processing” status since last Friday. I’m like dang can I see the date? I was in the first round of preorders. Whenever it does get here, I’m ready. Going to go update everything and try to get over this cold.
Wish you better, bud, fingers crossed for your order too.
@S2Killinit - Thank you!
Thanks man 👊
Word of advice: be ready for the impromptu jig that happens when that email drops, it can be embarrassing..
I know you and a lot of people are excited for VR but dont sleep on sophy, sophy is the real game changer here!
After giving sophy a run last night, i can safely say the actual racing in future GT's is going to be Fu***** amazing!!!
even on intermediate on some tracks the AI was coming back at me on my waiting for me to slip, attacking the space if i left the door open for them, honestly felt like i was racing against people and not some very limited AI that once i passed them they may as well have been eliminated from the race like GT ai normally is.
pump it up to expert and its a real challenge to stay ahead, the next level up from expert man the AI kicked my ass, like badly.
i remember when sophy was first annouced all the nay sayers said its a pipe dream and we will never see it implemented and here we are a yr later and sophy is being tested in game for us to try out and is every good as whats been promised.
VR plus racing against sophy and wowww your not gonna feal like your actually racing for real anywhere else outside of gt.
sophy will change the game in gt8
Hm I didnt realize it was like that. I didnt even know why there was so much hype about it. But thanknyou for explaining that. I mean I get it now.
But I’ll be seeing it in action tomorrow! Woot woot.
It's only for a limited time and only has 4 races but I encourage you and everyone else try it and see the difference compared to the normal Ai.
Sophy has slipped completely under the radar in this latest uodate

This video explains why we think Electronic Arts didn't see a future in the sim racing title Project CARS and promptly cancelled the fourth instalment.
After the last installment I’d say most hardcore fans left. It’s just not that good anymore so I can’t really blame EA this time.
It makes perfect sense. It's obviously a play on the title. Jesus christ you must be a blast at parties.
Ask Bullfrog or Black Box or Tiburon or Studio 33 or Criterion or any of the previously acquired developers who made racing games as competition, or as developers of EA games, then eventually dissolved into oblivion or reassigned. Just ask them. They'll tell you why.
Oh. I forgot. Even Code Masters were absorbed into Criterion. Another racing developer EA took over.
Every racing developer either absorbed by EA or eventually destroyed by them. They either kill competition or have them in the end make Need 4 Speed for them.
Not when it's because it didn't meet some crazy margin. It's like if something doesn't make EA a billion dollars on day one (I'm exaggerating that figure of course), they swiftly put it out to pasture.
Much like if you're spending money on what's a bad investment for your desired goals, you'd do away with it, if you're wise. We should try to get away from thinking we know more about business than individuals that have been doing it for decades. Perhaps you could benefit from going into business instead of wasting all of your talents in comment sections. It's clear that you're the missing piece that EA's been looking for.
I've made a good amount of money betting on underdog investments over the years.
EA sets unrealistic expectations of their more niche developers, yet continue to fund absolute blunders like DICE and the Battlefield series year after year.
Ian Bell, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios, is aiming to hire former Project CARS employees to work on his upcoming GTR Revival project.
If it's just going to be another sim-cade that doesn't do either one correctly then no thanks.
Project CARS 2 was a step in the right direction but the physics still aren't where they should have been, so what did they do for PC3? Go completely arcade. That killed the franchise.
Yeah project cars looks good, but this is not comparing apples with apples... Lets wait until both GT7 and PCars are on the PS4 before we compare them. At the moment it is a game from a PS3, compared to a game thats running on a PC. Thats just not fair.
On a side note, are there footage of PCars running on the WII U?
Project CARS was definitely better graphically, but not by much especially if you consider from 1 generation to the next. A lot of what I would consider better could be simply design choices that I don't prefer. In addition to that while I saw the racing I don't see anything about the mechanics of driving or the physics used for CARS. It was still interesting to watch though.
Comparing a last gen and new gen? Wow how desperate are you?
one thing I notice about every other racer is there change of camera angle during turns
GT6 has always kept the car directly centered
Everyone else likes to pan the camera a little so you can see into the next turn. I have to get used to this every time because I'm so used to GT. Driveclub does the same thing and I have a hard time following my line.
