Fortnite is officially going to be an Olympic esport, joining a line-up of other games set to take part in the inaugural Olympic Esports Series 2023 this June.
]]>First reported by the folk over at VGC, qualification for the Olympic Esports 2023 Series has now begun.
]]>VR is definitely seen as a bit of a luxury, in some quarters a gimmick. I think the former is true, what with the high cost of entry (and even more if you want a headset connected to a PC or console), but it’s absolutely not a gimmick. Seeing is believing in the case of VR, so the launch of Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset and controllers has sparked yet another wave of “it’s impossible to explain how good VR is” chat. That is true to an extent, but I’m here to tell you that you should buy PS VR2 to play Gran Turismo 7. It’s that good. And I’m not really a huge Gran Turismo fan.
]]>After years of speculation, Sony’s PlayStation VR2 finally arrived during the beginning of 2023. Boasting twin-OLED screens, 4K visuals and updated and redesigned controllers alongside intelligent eye-tracking and 3D audio, it's the most advanced console VR yet.
]]>Gran Turismo 7's February update is almost here, adding in VR functionality, more cars, and some very fancy AI race car drivers.
]]>Tom's a bit smitten with PS VR2, but I, a Virtual Reality Sceptic, have my doubts. So Tom donned the headset in an attempt to convince me that yes, Sony's newest VR platform is the real deal, and well worth the buy-in. In fact, he says, it's the most exciting leap forward in gaming since Mario 64. But I have to wonder if this costly peripheral is more akin to the Mega Drive's 32X — an impressive add-on, but fiddly to use, and destined to have a limited library of b-tier exclusives and hasty ports. We argue about it in this video here:
]]>At CES 2023, Sony provided two bits of Gran Turismo news.
]]>This weekend just gone, it was the Gran Turismo World Finals, as well as Gran Turismo’s 25th Anniversary. During the event, it was revealed that Polyphony Digital could possibly port Gran Turismo 7 to PC platforms.
]]>Despite launching way back in 2020, it was arguably 2023 when the PS5 finally came into its own. It was always a good console, but 2023 was the first year when you could potentially just buy a PS5 without waiting in a digital queue and pouncing like an eBay sniper for even the most legitimate of purchases.
]]>It has been announced that Gran Turismo 7 will be receiving a number of changes to the quantity of in-game currency earned through race rewards. In addition, in order to quell some of the anger following a recent post-launch patch that sent the rewards system out of whack, players who log in between now and April 25 will get 1 million credits for free.
]]>You may be wondering "is Gran Turismo 7 offline for everyone, or just me?" If you've tried to boot up the game at all in the last 24 hours, you'll have been met with error screens and messages telling you that 'no, you cannot play the game right now.'
]]>Gran Turismo 7 has another update available, and along with adding a Broadcast Mode to the Sound Volume Settings, it makes some welcome improvements and adjustments.
]]>An update for Gran Turismo 7 has been released.
]]>Now that Gran Turismo 7 has been released, pricing for in-game currency, called Credits, has been revealed.
]]>Gran Turismo 7 is out tomorrow, and to give you an idea of what to expect performance-wise, Digital Foundry has provided an analysis for the PS5 version.
]]>Polyphony Digital is well-known for its production chops in Gran Turismo games. Whether it's in recreating beachy California-inspired street circuits, presenting its own take on the pine-lined courses of more European environments, or creating asphalt better than anything you've ever seen with your naked eyes, the studio excels.
]]>What’s the weirdest thing you have gotten excited about when it comes to the reveal or announcement of a video game? Because people were losing their collective minds on Twitter when Gran Turismo 7 showed off a fairly unspectacular looking map screen at its initial showcase, because the hardcore GT fans thought it potentially meant the return of ‘classic’ Gran Turismo, following the competitive, esports-leaning Gran Turismo Sport. Moments later, further celebration at some footage of a bit of road, one that showed a much-loved classic Gran Turismo track. Then, confirmation! Gran Turismo 7 – the real sequel fans have been waiting years for – was on its way. Racing game Twitter was, as they say, absolute limbs.
]]>Polyphony Digital recently showed a more in-depth look at the imminent Gran Turismo 7, the latest in a franchise with 25 years of history and acclaim behind it. It looks wonderful. All the little touches from old games that you missed in Gran Turismo Sport, the forensic eye for detail is even more evident, and the visuals look as good today as the original did next to its PS1 contemporaries – it’s just somehow shinier, more luxurious on the eye, than anything else out there. Forza Horizon 5 included.
]]>What always set Gran Turismo apart was the little details. We all went and bought it because it was the real driving simulator, and it backed that statement up with licensed cars and realistic stopping distances. But what made us stick around and play it obsessively thereafter was that it was so fastidious about car culture. It gave us incredibly faithful models of really normal cars you might see in a Morrisson’s car park, like a Toyota Yaris or a Nissan Micra, and there was a thrill to tuning one up and watching it smoke a Mitsubishi FTO.
]]>The first State of Play showcase of 2022 has been announced by PlayStation, and this new stream promises to delve deep into the features and modes of the highly anticipated PS5 and PS4 game Gran Turismo 7 ahead of its release on March 4.
]]>To say there’s been a ‘long wait’ for the new Gran Turismo would be like saying the world's been a bit flu-y recently. With predecessor Gran Turismo 6 launching on the PS3 back in 2013, PlayStation racing fans have been left enviously watching their Xbox peers enjoy multiple iterations Forza. Thankfully fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as, Gran Turismo 7 is now only a few months away – and a Japanese retailer has revealed some juicy new details.
According to a new pamphlet, GT7 will feature over 90 racing tracks, boasts 420 cars to race in and claims that all tracks have “realistic weather and scenery”.
]]>Sony announced the contents of the Gran Turismo 7 25th Anniversary Edition today, and it was revealed that only the Digital Deluxe Edition comes with Dual Entitlement.
]]>Last week's PlayStation Showcase was an E3-level event that brought us a number of big reveals from Sony, all of which are games coming to PS5. There was even an unusual number of CG trailers of games that won't be here for several years, something Sony doesn't traditionally do.
]]>Gran Turismo 7 will be released for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on March 4, Polyphony Digital and Sony announced during this evening's PlayStation Showcase.
]]>If you want to sign up to get access to an as-yet-unannounced Gran Turismo 7 PS5 beta test, we suggest you head on over to the PlayStation site sharpish.
]]>Gran Turismo's storied director Kazunori Yamauchi has some ideas about what he wants to do with the series and beyond.
]]>You didn't expect to be playing Gran Turismo 7 this year, did you?
]]>Sony has given us an update on a number of games in the works for PS5.
]]>Many of the biggest upcoming PS5 exclusives now have release targets.
]]>Gran Turismo 7 has been announced for PlayStation 5.
]]>Gran Turismo in virtual reality would certainly be a thing, wouldn't it?
]]>Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the Gran Turismo series, talked to Spazio Games about the release date for the new game as well as addressing other issues present in the franchise.
]]>Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital has gone quiet following the announcement that a new Gran Turismo game will be coming to PlayStation 4 in 2014. Studio head Kazunori Yamauchi has broken the silence and talked a little bit about the next game in series in a recent interview.
]]>Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital is aiming for a 2014 release for the next entry in the series, although the sixth game is just around the corner.
]]>Speaking with Famitsu , the producer of Gran Turismo 6 Kazunori Yamauchi said that since the game is already "80%" finished, it should only be another year or two's wait until a Gran Turismo 7 lands on the PlayStation 4. Check the quote after the break.
]]>Some thought it a strange choice that Polyphony's Gran Turismo 6 is a PS3 game instead of a PS4 launch title. However, it looks as though a PS4 version is very much on the cards - it just might end up turning into Gran Turismo 7.
