Kazunori Yamauchi hints at new cars in Gran Turismo 7
Gran Turismo 7’s director, Kazunori Yamauchi, mentioned in a recent interview that the game would include brand-new vehicles and tracks in the series that have never been seen. Additionally, he hinted that the game would work with PlayStation VR, enabling users to play it in virtual reality. Although Yamauchi withheld any specifics about the new cars, they will likely be a mix of vintage and contemporary automobiles, just like earlier games in the series. It’s possible that the tracks are entirely made up of fiction or that they are based on real-world locations.
What is the reveal all about?
On Tuesday, a patch for Gran Turismo 7 will be released, adding compatibility for PS VR2. This enables head tracking in-game so players can put on their headsets and experience Gran Turismo 7 at an entirely new level of immersion. As luck would have it, the update for the following week covers more than just the PS VR2. At least four new cars for Gran Turismo 7 will be released alongside the PS VR2 patch, according to Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi’s teaser. Yamauchi wrote, along with images of the four cars being teased, “Big updates are coming next week.”
The middle vehicle appears to be the latest Vision Gran Turismo model, a digital concept created especially for the Gran Turismo series in association with actual automakers. Numerous Vision vehicles from Lamborghini, Jaguar, Porsche, Suzuki, and Ferrari are featured in Gran Turismo 7. It won’t just be about adding head tracking in the PS VR2 update. The patch will also include a VR showroom that will let you explore Gran Turismo 7’s entire car library up close and personal; Polyphony confirmed in a blog update last week. All cars will allow you to view the interior from the passenger or driver’s seat, as well as the exterior, from various angles.
Everything you should know about PSVR2 and Gran Turismo 7
Anyone with a PlayStation VR2 headset and a PlayStation 5 console can play Gran Turismo 7 in virtual reality for free. With a hands-on preview, we gave it a try, and it was incredibly impressive. Gran Turismo 7 supports the PSVR2 for all gameplay, excluding split-screen local multiplayer. This includes all vehicles, all driving surfaces, all climates, all World Circuits competitions, missions, license exams, and even online multiplayer. In essence, it’s the entire game, not a separate VR mode like in GT Sport. The VR Showroom is a new space created especially for PSVR2. Any car can be inserted into one of the 12 scenes. After that, you can “walk” around the car and take in its features. It is an update that the game’s graphics are said to be improved, and this update is said to support more voices.
Conclusion
Yamauchi has committed to ensuring the game lives up to fans’ expectations, so it will likely be worth the wait. The director for Gran Turismo 7 has hinted at new cars and possible PS VR2 updates. It’s been a little while since the last update for the game, and many players are looking forward to what new content is in store. The director also hinted at some new features that may be added to the game in the future.
