Gran Turismo 7: Polyphony Digital delivers the most comprehensive PS5 Pro upgrade we've seen

Never bet against Polyphony Digital taking full advantage of new PlayStation hardware. John Linneman gets to grips with the PS5 Pro upgrade, examining the game's enhanced 'on track' ray tracing effects, PSSR upscaling, game-changing improvements to PSVR2 plus a look at performance across 4K 60fps and 120fps modes - along with the full breakdown on just how PS5 Pro copes with an 8K output mode.

Okay.... now Im impressed. Especially with the improvements to VR mode.

[MaximusPrime_]

Yeah very impressive.

I guess I may have to upgrade both TV and console some point in the future. Sony and Polyphony continue to impress.

Max it’s awesome with a oled tv

[MaximusPrime_]

I've been looking into OLED. I even received an email from Playstation with their Sony TV recommendations

[mandf]

Max I suggest a lg c4 tv. But Sony and Samsung each have a particular model oled tv which is best for the ps5. I chose the lg because of the gaming mode options and vrr

[MaximusPrime_]

Cheers, will check them out

[Cacabunga]

Polyphony never did things halfway.. they never underperformed and they are one of the most respectable studios ever

[Aloymetal]

And to think that this is a cross gen game, PD always pushing the hardware limits. Amazing.

I just got the G4. Incredible like all LG Oleds.

I heard but the C4 the colour dims in game mode. Maybe look into that before purchasing.

[Storm23]

Coming from a G4 owner, which is incredible, the best bang for the buck OLED is the s90c/s90d. Incredible QD-OLED, great price. s90c is last years model, get it if available. If not, go with the s90d.

I was waiting for the DF analysis because the less tech knowledgeable commentators were all over the place.

Personally I loved the improved FPS smoothness in the VR Pro mode, I just needed clarity on how that was handled.

Gt7 in great is just different. With a wheel is mind blowing the biggest wow in gaming I have had in 45 years of gaming. If you’re a gamer and want a experience unlike no other try it in vr with a wheel

[darthv72]

I use the Thrustmaster T150 and it works really well. I got it for PS3 and PS4 and it was also works on PS5. Add in VR and its a real game changer.

[mandf]

Gt7 in vr damn autocorrect

[Bathyj]

💯

“If you’re a gamer and want a experience unlike no other try it in vr with a wheel”

Can confirm. It’s always worth the effort for that experience. I’ve got over 300 hours in the VR2 mode (most with the g29 wheel).

[PRIMORDUS]

GT7 missed opportunity on PC. Imagine if Polyphony Digital brought it over to PC with path tracing, and graphics that would be not possible on consoles. Then there would be amazing mods done by the community, not to mention using reshade to bring up that level of fidelity even more.

[darthv72]

It will come to PC sometime next year... I can feel it.

[cbuc1125]

Keep begging it still ain't happening

[badz149]

playing GT7 in VR on PS5 (even better on the Pro), you would be hard-pressed to find any player even thinking, "this would have been so much better on PC". it's just already THAT GOOD at its current form.

[Class_Viceroy]

Playstation releases fully polished games with full content.

They don’t need to rely on PC for graphics and community mods to provide the best experience.

[fsfsxii]

Port begging again, not like you’d buy it, you would just boast about how you can pirate it lol

[PRIMORDUS]

Possibly, my reputation precedes me😂

[buffig]

The 0.4% of PC players able to run it, would definitely enjoy it

[Knushwood Butt]

GT7 goes from strength to strength.

[ironmonkey]

What a treat
