Starting from 2PM PT / 10PM GMT, the Japanese giant will broadcast a full 30 minutes of Polyphony Digital’s simulation racer, showing off gameplay, features, and modes. Please note there will be no other games in this presentation: it’s all about Gran Turismo 7!

22:34

There's some other bits and pieces going live on the site over the next hour or so.

22:33

And that's the end of an excellent State of Play, which pretty much showed you everything you need to know about GT7. Hopefully you enjoyed it!

22:31

Once the video has finished, check out the Push Square homepage for a full Gran Turismo 7 preview, now live!

22:30

We're ending with some new gameplay from Music Rally mode.

22:29

And you can share everything you do in the game with the rest of the community!

22:28

And, of course, Scapes will return if you want to play a photography simulator rather than a driving simulator. There are 2,500 backdrops to photograph!

22:27

And yes, the livery editor is back, with tons more editing possibilities!

22:25

And now time for the tuning aspect, with over 60 different parts to fiddle with. Time for some fun spreadsheets.

22:24

It's sounding pretty good, much better than past Gran Turismo games. They've put a lot of work in.

22:23

And will also support full 3D audio to recreate the exact positioning of cars and scenery.

22:22

As we know the game will feature full support for the DualSense, including the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

22:21

Now we're on to the physics and simulation.

22:19

Music Replay is a new feature that matches replays to the soundtrack.

22:15

Kaz is now explaining how clouds are formed. Some absolutely insane visuals on display.

22:12

And there are new online lobbies, where you can hang out with friends and compete online. And of course the competitive Sport mode returns as well.

22:12

The game features local split-screen, of course. It wouldn't be Gran Turismo without it!

22:11

Yes, the License Tests will be back.

22:09

What are your thoughts on Gran Turismo 7 so far?

22:09

There'll also be a Used Car Dealer for various other cars. This will be updated and refreshed daily.

22:08

There's also a museum for each car manufacturer, where you can learn about the history of the brand.

22:07

Now we're heading into Brand Central, the game's in-game dealership.

22:07

It all looks very addictive. You'll also get history and information on the history of cars as you progress.

22:06

We're getting a look at some of the new campaign features, including the GT Cafe, which includes coffee shop-style collection quests.

22:01

And we're underway...

22:01

Join us LIVE for State of Play, focused on Gran Turismo 7.

19:05

Join us from 2PM PT / 10PM GMT for the Gran Turismo 7 State of Play. It should be a fun one!

Couldve watched another hour, that may have beenone of the best SOP they've ever done

Anke said:

See you all on track in March then eh?

at work watching on a 2nd screen with no sound

Sam_ATLUS said:

That 30 minutes flew by, it was a joy for someone who isn't crazy on racing games that sure got me excited for GT7

It turned out 30 mins are not that long

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

Bye all!

Turismo4GT said:

Well, now I need a cigarette and a sandwich...

Anke said:

@themcnoisy, yup can't agree more with that

BeerIsAwesome said:

A pleasure all.

nessisonett said:

Great night tbh GT7 looks great and 3-0

Voltan said:

that was a quick 30 minutes

themcnoisy said:

Night all

Voltan said:

yeah, the music was very Japanese

Anti-Matter said:

Already finished?

BeerIsAwesome said:

looked good!

themcnoisy said:

It is Anke but those bits will look great. The weather and time. But yeah a bit underwhelming

Royalblues said:

Take care folks, and see you on the circuit

nofriendo said:

Thanks for hosting, Push Square! Enjoy the rest of the day, folks.

Royalblues said:

I was reminded of the older Castlevania games with that music

not that I needed any more reasons to get the game, but loved the showcase

BeerIsAwesome said:

i guess racing games follow the same basic principle to be fair

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

I thought it sounded like a persona boss song lol

Areus said:

This Sounds Like a song from Ys

Royalblues said:

Great presentation

Anke said:

I gotta say though as someone with many 100s of hours in GTS, this just feels like more GTS with a few tacked on bits.

get2sammyb said:

Absolutely nothing on VR mentioned sadly.

Hopefully the whole thing can be played in PSVR2 no just a sliver

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

This is a jam

get2sammyb said:

Asked Kaz about PSVR2 earlier in the week, but they skipped the question!

themcnoisy said:

And these cars are usually when I can't play GT for trophy and crash every second corner.

probably it will support vr. Sony will want to go all out with the psvr2

Voltan said:

I like this one too... if you like music like this, you should play Guilty Gear lol

nofriendo said:

I'm guessing this will have strong PSVR2 support at some point.

Royalblues said:

This game more, because it is more of a sim

as well as some credits and a Supra with the Castrol livery

The deluxe version grants access to the soundtrack

Royalblues said:

I'm looking forward to this and Forza Motorsport 8 the most out of any game this year

Sam_ATLUS said:

What we've heard of the soundtrack has been great, some nice songs here

Voltan said:

I'm usually not into this kind of "radio" rock, but this one's nice

nofriendo said:

I'm a bit baffled why we haven't be shown chase cam? It does exist in these games?

Voltan said:

me too, cools song

QBGaming12 said:

I like the soundtrack so far.

nessisonett said:

Exactly lmao

Then why are you here

Anti-Matter said:

I dun understand the appeal of this game.

BeerIsAwesome said:

that little vibrate of the wheel

nofriendo said:

I would be new to the series and I'm worried it's too hardcore for someone like me to enjoy. I prefer the more casual, arcade-y racing of Forza.

Sam_ATLUS said:

Honestly looks like it's going to be an amazing experience

nessisonett said:

Definitely looks great

way more that what I expected

Looks amazing!

QBGaming12 said:

That set looks cool

@Kanji-Tatsumi - I love it

get2sammyb said:

Looks fantastic to me

BeerIsAwesome said:

i look forward to downloading 40 different suit liveries, and only ever using 2 of them

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

whats the general consensus so far

Voltan said:

ok, I can tell that this game will be extremely popular

Anti-Matter said:

It's almost 30 minutes

BeerIsAwesome said:

nice

themcnoisy said:

Haha nice Vel

because these look like real life

Will photos from GT7 count for the Photo contest at PUsh Square?

Anti-Matter said:

Some kaboom from Blue shell, please. And some banana peels on the road. 🤭

BeerIsAwesome said:

@themcnoisy sure they get damaged (same in the crew), but they don't get absolutely smashed in like wreckfest. the car companies just won't allow it

nofriendo said:

This will tie in nicely with the NFT marketplace....

was that a autocross track

themcnoisy said:

At Velio you have a livery editor which is amazing

QBGaming12 said:

That's some nice oil physics.

nofriendo said:

I turned damage off in Forza. I like my cars looking fresh no matter how I abuse them

themcnoisy said:

At beer, I dunno man. I like that there's no damage for GT. Especially getting shunted out of nowhere online. But in Forza all the cars get damaged. But you also get people smashing you up for no reason which is why the hyperrealism is cool

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

little bit of japanese flair there

Voltan said:

lol

all my cars will be either black, red or lime green.

BeerIsAwesome said:

remember that dirt showdown game? in the hoonigan parts, you could drive real cars, but the figure-8s and destruction derbies, you could only use fictional cars

that's a fast beetle

get2sammyb said:

This song, though.

It was great to tune the settings of the car and make it unrdrivable. Rinse and repeat

Sam_ATLUS said:

I loved Burnout Paradise, wish we got another Burnout

QBGaming12 said:

I only asked because reviews on other sites always mention that stuff when it comes to GT. I know that isn't the thing GT is going for, it's not burnout lol.

BeerIsAwesome said:

the problem is, car companies won't let their cars be damaged too much, so the "realistic damage" games feature fictional cars

ok, here's the best part

nofriendo said:

and Out Run of course

BeerIsAwesome said:

even the damage in forza isn't especially realistic

nofriendo said:

I always thought the crashes in Burnout Paradise were fairly realistic

engine revving in the rain - asmr

BeerIsAwesome said:

i guess if you want realistic damage in a racing game, a destruction derby-style game is best, like wreckfest

Octane said:

when can I send a picture of my ear to Cerny by the way?

Sam_ATLUS said:

Wasn't sure about whether I wanted to buy this on day 1 but the last 20 minutes have really sold me on it

Voltan said:

I like the music now

QBGaming12 said:

Do the cars actually show damage on them when you get hit or hit someone else?

Octane said:

that's what I was waiting for, full dualsense support

Voltan said:

oh yeah, this is going to feel cool

Octane said:

they should've asked verstappen instead

more porsche... not that I mind, but would be good to see something else

Octane said:

lol

themcnoisy said:

Try with a different time stamp and I can see that messing up 🤣

get2sammyb said:

lmao this is brilliantly weird, I love it

Sam_ATLUS said:

You can really tell how passionate Kaz is about cars and how much time he has spent trying to provide the best experience

Anti-Matter said:

Blue shell, please. 😆

This is cool as hell, love it

BeerIsAwesome said:

tasteful!

nessisonett said:

@Anti-Matter I genuinely have no clue what you're expecting from this hahaha

NG186 said:

Yamauchi is nuts - it's awesome

as Voltan said - again something totally unnecessary and awesome

Anti-Matter said:

No Eurobeat music like Initial D = not interesting

BeerIsAwesome said:

that won't matter. i'll be listening to my driving songs playlist on spotify anyway

Octane said:

these cars are slower than the chase scene in boba fett

nailing a perfect lap and watching it 20 times on a replay - priceless

Octane said:

gran trismo

Anke said:

Wet races online will be hilarious fun.

BeerIsAwesome said:

oh god, that glisten when the sun's really bright

great to finally have wet weather tracks

Anke said:

This is all impressive but perhaps more dev time spent on the car sounds would've been better.

BeerIsAwesome said:

1/10, i wanted this to be a sci-fi game with two suns

themcnoisy said:

And you won't see the sky at brands hatch because of clouds

nessisonett said:

Stars are beautiful wow

Voltan said:

this sounds totally unnecessary and totally awesome

wow, that sunset was insane

BeerIsAwesome said:

win

themcnoisy said:

Yup

BeerIsAwesome said:

does this mean the le mans can be done over 24 hours?

nessisonett said:

Yep this is the stuff I love

themcnoisy said:

This is the big feature. Weather and time.

Voltan said:

oh no!

nessisonett said:

It's the metaverse

Previously they said RT will only be featured outside of actual racing

BeerIsAwesome said:

CGI kaz?

BeerIsAwesome said:

sexy

Voltan said:

this part looks nice

nessisonett said:

This is on asphalt though

nofriendo said:

I often forget to actually race in Forza lol

Yeah, but this being more of a "simulator" - it will probably be way harder. But I guess I'm not really into drifting

BeerIsAwesome said:

but it's not drifting in the proper sense. it's fun, but it's not "realistic" drifting

themcnoisy said:

Forza Horizon is actually really good. But the racing isnt. It's more of a driving game than a racing game.

nofriendo said:

Very responsive

nofriendo said:

Love drifting in Forza too

nessisonett said:

Drifting in Forza Horizon feels great tbh

nofriendo said:

Split screen! God bless them!

drag race and drifting - certainly not what I wished for

BeerIsAwesome said:

where you actually have to learn how to drift, rather than just skid like in NFS and forza

themcnoisy said:

But this is new!!!

nofriendo said:

Chase cam pleeeeeease

themcnoisy said:

Yeah bit of a disappointment track wise. Was hoping for a couple more at launch, all the same from sport bar the fantasy ones.

QBGaming12 said:

They said they will be adding tracks in online updates.

didn't see "Seattle" in the tracks, and he didn't mention Grand Valley to be returning

BeerIsAwesome said:

i wonder if they have any of the not-quite-so-classic le mans cars?

Anke said:

Still the same old circuits for years. Project Cars had so many more.

nofriendo said:

I'll be sipping Carruccinos at the Car Cafe. Maybe nibble on a Caroissant.

was hoping for it

nessisonett said:

They know what they're doing showing off the 90s rally cars lmao

YEAAAHHH - Lancia Stratos is in the game

are they payed DLC for more cars

Voltan said:

yeah, this is cools stuff

nofriendo said:

Love the deep dive into car culture and history!

BeerIsAwesome said:

to be fair, they probably got rid of the 200 skylines in this game

ok, so there's a lot of porsche in the game, obviously

Anti-Matter said:

😑

get2sammyb said:

They said more will be added post-launch, too.

BeerIsAwesome said:

forza - heh heh heh, car go vroom. GT - we want you to know the history of every component that went into this car

man, how are 400 cars not many?

nofriendo said:

the whole experience looks slick af!

that seems like not many

nofriendo said:

400 plus more added in future updates

400 cars

how many cars did they say in the end

nessisonett said:

Looks like this might be the pre-order for me rather than Horizon or Elden Ring

BeerIsAwesome said:

this is one thing you always saw in GT games - the pure motoring porn

Royalblues said:

What Redd said

Voltan said:

looks like there's a lot to do there

Turismo4GT said:

Love what I'm seeing so far

This is going to take over my life for the next few months!

QBGaming12 said:

I'm not a huge fan of racing games at all but this game does look amazing.

i hope its just fun to drive against the Ai like the old ones

nofriendo said:

Love the accessibility as well. And I don't see how you can look at this footage and not be impressed!

BeerIsAwesome said:

oh hey, you get to have a virtual cuppa

Voltan said:

true

Reyren said:

I like the emphasis on it being accessible for new players.

BeerIsAwesome said:

@Voltan to be fair, you're watching this on a compressed stream, not face-to-face with the TV

Voltan said:

I'm not too sure I'm impressed with the graphics... not that I'd care too much but I know car games are often considered visual showcases

Turismo4GT said:

@themcnoisy thanks, I just refreshed

BeerIsAwesome said:

this looks tasteful

BeerIsAwesome said:

no sony. i cri evry tiem

themcnoisy said:

You are behind. It's started.

Grumblevolcano said:

It's already started

Turismo4GT said:

Lol, wasn't the start supposed to be at 5pm ET? The countdown now says 7 more minutes

Voltan said:

hey McNoisy - now that you mentioned me and Beer in one sentence, I think I'll grab myself a beer

BeerIsAwesome said:

trial mountain!

themcnoisy said:

Yo NF, Voltan, Beer how's life?

Voltan said:

I don't even like racing games but I wanna see this

BeerIsAwesome said:

I LOVE IT ALREADY!

Voltan said:

Eyyy 'sup?

BeerIsAwesome said:

alright, let's do this!

themcnoisy said:

Let's goooo

themcnoisy said:

Im getting GT7 from a showroom via part exchange. No I don't want finance!

nofriendo said:

In the first place, if you're drifting off it may be time for a brake. Especially if you don't feel driven to play any further. Don't want to burnout.

themcnoisy said:

3d noughts and crosses

Yeah, I'm excited for GT7 as much as for Horizon FW and Elden Ring. The last GT I played was 3, so it's been a while

themcnoisy said:

Hi Velio. Im Looking forward to a proper GT game too.

Hi everyone. What a way to kick off the first SoP for the year.

themcnoisy said:

Hopefully this is the proper start of next gen. Come on Sony. Let's go!

Royalblues said:

I want them to start their GT esports cup again. Those were a blast to watch.

Royalblues said:

I drift off when I play lots of games these days. Would rather cruise along when I play GT.

Royalblues said:

Good one lol

nofriendo said:

Aren't you tired of the games? I'm exhausted. I'll be steering clear. Instead I'll shift gears into other genres at a more accelerated pace.

Anke said:

Hoping for some surprises. New unknown cars or tracks would be lovely.

Super excited for this one!

AFCC said:

30 min of...left turn, right turn

BeerIsAwesome said:

I hope they have the Sony car in this game! They should totally let Microsoft put their car in Forza as well!

AFCC said:

YAY CARS

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

🚗 vroom vroom

Royalblues said:

Can't wait.

Kanji-Tatsumi said:

👀👀👀

JohnKarnes said:

Did you forget about this one? I did not see it on PhushSquare.

Turismo4GT said:

Hoping this is the return to form for Gran Turismo I've been waiting for. Sport was fun and all, but...

get2sammyb said:

Test
