Gran Turismo 7 Clocks Native 4K, 120fps on PS5 Pro Via Game Boost, Pre-Enhanced Patch

Wow, so that makes PS5 Pro a PS4 Pro Pro Pro!

As someone who has the GT Sport Plat and over 1,000 hours in that game, glad I skipped this last-gen cash grab.

Sounds incredible! Just picked up a copy of GT7

Amazing. GT7 is an awesome game and certainly not a cash grab. Polyphony are secretly playstations best studio.

Now wheres that guy who was arguing with me that native 4k at 120fps was impossible without a top end PC....

@DonkeyFantasy Oh it's a cash grab alright, GT7 is basically GT Sport with a poor single player campaign aka Cafe Menu

When the game launched, I think 32 out of the 36 tracks were from GT Sport

GT7 has earned the nickname GT Sport Directors Cut

Dude that's a last gen game lol and it's through "boost mode" you mean the ps5 pro is doing what series X has been doing for 4 years? With so many titles running at 4k 120fps and enhanced with boost mode, plus many are graphically enhanced to a remastered game level for free, just one of the many Xbox features. Do not use native and boost in the same phrase, either it's native or not. and clearly it's a last gen game, look at Alan Wake 2, ps5 struggles at 800p upscaled.

@alienwithin It's not game boost, it's a PS5 Pro patch.

@TrickyDicky99 OK dude I will take your opinion and ignore it as it is coming from someone who admits they skipped the game.

@alienwithin you seem to be mistaken. GT7 is a current-gen game, however it was built in such a way that it could easily be parred down to run on last-gen hardware thanks to PDs game engine. Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed this is interviews just before GT7s release.

A lot of development studios build games using engines that existed in previous generations. The only thing that makes a game current-gen vs. last-gen is wether or not it was built with current-gen as the base, to take advantage of the hardware, which GT7 definitely was.

But it still can't do Elden Ring at 60fps. If it can't even do that, and PCs can, it seems pretty underwhelming.

https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2024-can-ps5-pro-run-elden-ring-at-60-frames-per-second

"A lot of the game will run at 60fps, but it's hardly consistent and for the most part you're in the 50s - though truly challenging scenes can take you into the 40s". That's not performance mode, but apparently even that mode can't maintain it.

@DonkeyFantasy How many hours did you have in GT Sport?

Here's my stats:

1954 daily races completed
1022 wins
1323 Pole Positions
977 fastest laps
Over 1,000 hours played

I know GT Sport like the back of my hand, GT7 is GT Sport Directors Cut, a last gen cash grab aimed at those who didn't play Gt Sport

@ZeroSum The only thing current gen about the game is Sophy AI

Literally everything else about it is last gen, as it's all playable on a PS4

@TrickyDicky99 those are some nice stats. What's your stats in GT7? This articles about GT7.

@DonkeyFantasy This article is about GT Sport Directors Cut aka GT7

What's your GT7 stats?

120 is great if they mean vr mode. The I do hope they also clean up the visuals because I'm vr it's pretty darned blurry from mid distance on .

It’s a PS4 game so nothing to really brag about. While pro owners will enjoy it no doubt. I hope the next Gran Turismo is for a current generation console and not developed for cross generation consoles. It would be very nice to get GT8 developed for the PS5 only.

Does this mean VR performance is enhanced?

@DonkeyFantasy I'm really enjoying gt7 or gt sport directors cut or whatever..its a seriously cool game with a steering wheel and I'm just itching to get my new t598 to use it on. Regardless of whatever you think of this game nobody can dispute its one of the best simcade racers out there..and my stats are not great but the grin factor is off the charts..Happy days unless you skipped this generation 🤣.

@Vaako007 it would be nice to get all new games developed for the ps5 only..

@Northern_munkey yeah man it's great and no amount of personal stats can change how much fun it is.

@Vaako007 Rumour has it that the next GT game will be a PS5/PS6 cross-gen game

Sigh

@TrickyDicky99 another console generation for you to skip then eh?

I can't wait to try this in GT7 and despite what some think, it's a much better game than GT Sport was. Fingers crossed they don't remove this option when the true Pro patch comes

@Northern_munkey If GT8 releases after the PS6 and is a PS5 game, then yes, I will not be buying it

I've never bought a last gen game after buying a new console

@TrickyDicky99 all joking and banter aside I often wonder when reading your comments (a few I've agreed with but not a lot) if you are actually happy with your ps5 because you never appear to be. You think I'm some kind of Sony zealot but I'm not. Sony has done many things I'm not happy with but I won't knock someone or something without good reason and that includes you. You talk about sonys predatory consumerism along with a couple of other posters but you all still buy games and partake in conversations here. If you really were unhappy with Sony you'd have nothing to do with the brand at all unless you are here just to troll others. Anyway I understand your edgy attempt at sarcasm which is why I never really take anything you say too seriously and you've demonstrated you can take some banter too. 👍

@Northern_munkey I didn't buy my PS5, it was a gift. The only PS5 game I've played is the free pack-in game Astro's Playroom

I haven't bought a Sony game since TLOU2 in 2020.

I was mainly a PSVR player, but PSVR2 was such a catastrophic failure that I was never going to spend £530 on a dead platform

@TrickyDicky99 well if it was a gift and the only ps5 game you've played was free then exactly why are you so down on Sony? It's not as if this generation has cost you anything. It literally makes no sense to me but you wouldn't really care anyway so I'll just leave you to it as I'm off to work..enjoy your day if you can 👍

@Northern_munkey because this gen has been a major major letdown.

I was really really looking foward to PSVR2, seeing as I had a PSVR since 2017, around 150 games

And Sony completely sh@t the bed with PSVR2, they overpriced it, it was dated tech, and they sent it out to die.

I can clearly see that Sony are more interested in growing the PC audience and making live service games rather than catering to their fanbase

That's pretty amazing.

@Northern_munkey plus the fact Sony spent a year going on about how PS5 will revolutionise the way games are designed, Mark Cerny literally spent a whole hour explaining this.

Yet they then make all their big games last-gen . . . that's borderline false advertising

GT7 was literally advertised as a PS5 exclusive . . and then they delayed the game and made it a PS4 game

@TrickyDicky99 Sony have released and published a fair amount of games this gen though. This year alone has seen Stellar Blade, Helldivers 2, Astro Bot and Rise of Ronin and that's not even including 3rd party timed deals like Rebirth and Silent Hills 2 and Indies like V Rising and Pacific Drive.

@DennisReynolds The only Sony 1st party games this gen are:

Astro's Playroom (pack-in game)
Ratchet & Clank
Spiderman 2
Concord (de-listed)
Astro Bot

And we are heading into year 5 of the gen.

@TrickyDicky99 actually gt7 released on the ps5 and then the ps4 version launched which got people in a tizz because it was a ps5 exclusive up until then..

@TrickyDicky99 Returnal and Demons Souls Remake and FW's Expansion as well. Games take longer to make now its what happens, its why Sucker Punch will most likely only have one game this Gen like Naughty Dog. Still more then MS and i suggest you look at the first few years of the PS4 because that wasn't rich with 1st party games either.

@Northern_munkey GT7 was advertised as a PS5 exclusive, then it got delayed, and then was announced as a last-gen game

It's obvious the delay was to alter it for the PS4

@DennisReynolds Returnal and Demon's Souls were not made by Sony owned studios at the time of release, Sony bought them after

Like I said before, those 5 games I listed are the only Sony 1st party games this gen

@Northern_munkey Just read the comments, see what the GT enthusiasts had to say

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gran-turismo-7-confirmed-to-also-launch-on-playstation-4-is-a-cross-gen-title.399332/

@TrickyDicky99 "Returnal and Demon's Souls were not made by Sony owned studios at the time of release, Sony bought them after"

Both games was made by Sony owned studios.

Japan Studio was heavily involved in Demon's Souls remake development and i believe XDevs also helped Housemarque with Returnal development.

So yes, it's safe to say both games are made by Sony owned studios despite at that time Housemarque and Bluepoint aren't yet owned by Sony.

@TrickyDicky99 Funded, published and owned by Sony so might as well be 1st party. No one argues Bloodborne, Spidey 1 and the Ratchet games weren't Sony games so why should we with Returnal and Demons Souls?

@TrickyDicky99 no need as it's not something that's ever bothered me. I'm relatively new to gt7 as I only bothered with it because I bought a steering wheel setup and I'll be purchasing the t598 soon. I'm happy and you are not..let's agree to disagree..

@TrickyDicky99 That's not how first party works and it never has been.

Smash Bros is absolutely a first party Nintendo game despite not being made by a Nintendo-owned studio.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is absolutely a first party Microsoft game despite not being made by a Microsoft-owned studio.

Rise of the Ronin and Helldivers (and Returnal, and Spider-Man 1) are exactly the same thing - IP owned by Sony, development contracted out, is a first party game,

@TrickyDicky99 In my opinion GT Sports is barely a GT game since it lacks single player content. GT7 is not perfect, but it's way better than Sports.

@TrickyDicky99 oh so you can play PSVR2 with GT Sport on your PS4 can you?
Are the physics & weather systems the same as Sport?
If you haven’t got the game, then you can’t comment.
There’s way more content in GT7 & you’ve got Sophy AI on a lot of the tracks & in game raytracing on the PS5 Pro only.

Just because you have an engine that’s scalable to old hardware & new - like COD, No Man’s Sky, etc doesn’t mean it’s old gen.

But yeah you do you & keep enjoying GT Sport. It was a great game. GT7 is just better, but you’ll never know.

I don't understand all the people who permanently complain about the "no-ps5 exclusives" or "too small iterative improvements."

Personally I think gt7 is superior over gt sport in every way, and I had more fun playing it. I also really liked the gt7 café. Initially I thought it was a ridiculous idea, but in the end it is a fun way to get guided through a series of races. Then there is the wonderful VR mode. Already for that it is worth getting gt7 over gt sport.

Concerning the ps5 in general, besides all other improvements, most obvious for me are the vastly shortened loading times. Gone are the times to wait for several minutes until rd2 loaded after You died! Then on the more subtle level immersion is greatly enhanced by the controller haptics and the 3D audio. It is less obvious, only when going back to older system it is very obvious that something is missing.

Concerning the catalogue, the step from ps3 to ps4 felt like a real generational jump because the entire ps3 catalogue was stuck on the ps3 and the effort to port ps3 games to ps4 was too big, and most studios did not attempt that. The shift from ps4 to ps5 felt less significant, because at launch there were only a handful of ps5 titles, but 4000 ps4 games also running on ps5. In many cases those games automatically looked better when running on a ps5 instead of ps4(pro), additionally diminishing the difference between the two generations. And one should not forget the mid-gen refresh which also reduced the gap to two half steps. From an architecture point of view ps4 and ps5 are much closer than ps3 and ps4. As a consequence it is much easier to get more or less the same game running on ps5 and ps4. Still the differences are sometimes quite large. Personally I really liked the ps5 versions of forbidden west, gt7, ff7 remake, death stranding, cyberpunk (and many others) and playing those games on ps4(pro) would not do these games justice.

Anyway why buy a playstation, xbox or pc if You can play nearly all then games on a switch or via cloud streaming on Your phone ? Same game == same experience or isn't it ?

Anyone that says GT7 isnt as good as Sport is absolutely laughable. The games are night and day in every single way. Sport was good...... if you liked racing online.

I also enjoy GT7, and gaming in general. You wouldn’t think it’s an enjoyable way to spend time going off some of the comments though.

This sounds very impressive, really intrigued to see how this effects the psvr2, especially after the proper patch!
It's already one of the best, most immersive games in VR.

@Papa_Emeritus do you like to hit the square button with a hammer?

Would love to try it out, however Sony was not yet able to provide us with disc drives for months. Keep up the good work.

@TrickyDicky99 Certainly not. In the first months the single player was very disappointing, but it has become great in the meantime and is still developing. I was very critical on it as well, but have spend over 100 (well spend) hours in it now.

@TrickyDicky99
"If GT8 releases after the PS6 and is a PS5 game, then yes, I will not be buying it
I've never bought a last gen game after buying a new console"

Then you will likely not buy many games going forwards, as more than likely we will be looking at iterative updates on consoles going forwards, with virtually no generation exclusivity at all.

Big shock a PlayStation 4 game runs really well on a PlayStation 5 Pro

@NEStalgia
Not sure about this game, but if VR games can hit higher fps naturally then it will mean that reprojection isn’t needed and a lot of the “blur” will magically disappear (away from the edges anyway). Here’s hoping devs care enough!

@TrickyDicky99 "If GT8 releases after the PS6 and is a PS5 game, then yes, I will not be buying it
I've never bought a last gen game after buying a new console"

Still torturing yourself for no reason I see. Cross-gen games living rent free in your head.

Today I learnt that GT Sport had at least one insufferable die hard fan, good to know!

Some utter nonsense being spouted in these comments from the usual suspects.

The fact that this improvement is made without any patch for the pro is impressive to me. I'm hoping the patch will further refine and improve things.

For those that don't even like the game, why the hell are you here dumping on it like it slapped your mum? Your spreading of toxic negativity when you have no stake in it, is simply pathetic.

@TrickyDicky99 So u missed out on ragnarok and Horizon forbidden west? What a strange view on games you have. U loved GT sport but then don't buy the newer release.

@TrickyDicky99 Well it seems you should bow out of the gaming space, clearly this isn't for you anymore.

@TrickyDicky99 This is weird. Gran Turismo 7 is waaaaaaay better than Sport and has a looooooooot more of content.

@Vault_Mcfly 100%. This is actually the only time I have ever heard someone try to say Sport is the better game. Especially with so much zeal.

That's not a great leap forward, because the law of diminishing returns applies. The difference between 90Hz and 120Hz is not as significant as 30Hz and 60Hz.
