Gran Turismo developers to create sound for Sony and Honda’s production Afeela 1 car

The Japanese joint venture’s real-world electric car will include an interior sound created by Polyphony Digital. Deliveries of the production car (which is in Gran Turismo 7 already) will arrive in 2026, starting in California.

I had no idea Sony created a whole car brand with Honda. I thought that car they showed off years ago was some one time tech demo to then sell electronics to manufacturers. This is kinda cool. I'm curious to see how it will turn out.

edit: Actually nevermind. Apparently this thing will have a subscription plan. Bruh fuck that wtf.

Even with cars, Sony pisses me off

That's alright, I'm sure it'll sound like a vacuum (GT criticism for ages) anyways..

@Junryain88

Your comment makes it appear that you haven't played or seen a GT game since GT5.

GT Sport and GT7 have not only surpass modern Forza in sound, there some of the the best sounding racing games on the market.

Junryain88120d ago

I have all the gt games and completed them fully.

Most Electric Cars have optional subscription plans, just like Afeela

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael21h ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

Rancegamerx7h ago

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
