Update: Twitter Source says 89GB (without day 1 patch)


Largest PS5 exclusive launch title to date (capacity wise).

Polyphony Digital obviously loves cars and racing, but I've always wondered if game development has passed them by. If GT7 doesn't return Polyphony Digital towards the top of SIE, I think it might be time to put them out to pasture and maybe create a new team for Gran Turismo. I don't mean to be hyperbolic in saying that. SIE has evolved from the late 90s and early 2000s and that evolution has entirely happened without Japanese studios. I hope Polyphony Digital can make that jump, but nothing they've done in the last decade tells me that they can.

This game is going to tell us a lot about them as game developers and not just racing game developers. I had hoped for a 120hz mode, but it doesn't look like that is in the cards for this game, maybe down the road or GT8. I think a lot of these features that were discussed will end up in GT8, 120hz, VR e.t.c. But I'm more concerned with whether they make a competent game worth 70 dollars:

• Do they finally eliminate load times with the PS5s SSD
• With the game taking up 110GB is the game just loaded or did they not make great use of the Kraken compression. Will be interested to see the PS4 size compared to the PS5 size.
• This is probably the most ambitious Gran Turismo game ever released (and in my opinion maybe for the wrong reasons).
  • You have a PS5 version, a PS4 Pro version, and a PS4 version.
  • Can't wait to see what Digital Foundry says about the performance across these 3 models.
• There was talk of a GT7 Beta around 6 months ago, but I haven't heard any evidence that any Beta took place. To release a game this size without a beta just seems pretty daft. Obviously, there is time before release, but it's surprising to not have anything at this point and a competent developer should realize that. For such an ambitious game to not have beta tests is just asking for early trouble.
  • The lack of even an early access release is worrisome.

Aside from the technical aspect, it'll be interesting to see how they tackle some of the series other historic criticisms around sound, damage, and menus.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Meh. Size is to be expected. Hoping load times on ps5 will be semi non existent tho.

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

 

[dotnotbot]

Would be 200 GB on other platforms. Power of the PS5 compression

 

[DaleinCalgary]

The SSD will be the biggest jump for this game. The last one was painful to sit and wait for screens to load.

But I don't think I'm getting it as I'm bored of the series since 4.

 

[Beardsalt]

Meh, it,s ok, I’ll only have Horizon, Elden Ring and GT7 installed anyways!

 

[Swift_Star]

The load times will be pretty much nonexistent in this game just as they are in the ps5 version of first party ganes. I wouldn’t be too worried about that. And most games don’t have early access versions… don’t know why that should be worrisome.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Would be 200 GB on other platforms. Power of the PS5 compression

We're proud of you, you warrior you

 

[Phase]

How many unique tracks will they have in 7? I've put in a lot of hrs in Sport, and it looks almost identical.

 

[elliot5]

Horizon being like 90 GB and this being 110 GB is nutty. I was hoping to see moderately sized games. Is there a breakdown of ps4 install vs ps5

 

[Captain Toad]

Would be 200 GB on other platforms. Power of the PS5 compression

Maybe, but Nintendo would have be able to make it 30GB without losing anything

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Meh, it,s ok, I’ll only have Horizon, Elden Ring and GT7 installed anyways!

Of course!!!! The ONLY games that matter!!!!

I think that is our assumption, right? But we'll see if Polyphony Digital can deliver on that. They never patched GT Sport to take complete advantage of the PS5s SSD. And maybe that makes sense with GT7 coming out so soon and GT Sport will probably be retired fairly soon. So, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt (until reviews come out).

 

[PropellerEar]

It's all the non compressed 3D audio menu Jazz.
Can't wait, hyped!

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

It's all the non compressed 3D audio menu Jazz.
Can't wait, hyped!

 

[TGO]

Theses usually end up being the PS4 install sizes.
Always..

Cloud version™

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Asians dont count

 

[Unknown?]

Why should this game have a beta? Online will most likely be using improved code from Sport.

 

[M.Night Shyamalan]

Who wrote that article? Seems like a load of garbage.

110GB must be the PS4 version.. which is pretty close to GT Sport's install size.

 

[ManaByte]

Months and months of low Kraken install sizes, and then Horizon and GT7 hit:

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

110 GB For the install of Gran turismo.

And Ps5 actually have 667.2 GB to store games.

What a great deal, low memory for ps5!!!!

Jim Ryan you idiot

 

[killatopak]

This is gonna release on the PS4 as well right?

Is this PS4 size or PS5 size?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Why should this game have a beta? Online will most likely be using improved code from Sport.

With potentially significantly more players, across multiple platforms...

 

[Unknown?]

With potentially significantly more players, across multiple platforms...

Regardless it has already been stated there was an internal beta.

 

[xion4360]

that....is a lot of GBs....im going to delete Sport when 7 comes out so it won't make a difference tho.

 

[JimboJones]

Months and months of low Kraken install sizes, and then Horizon and GT7 hit:

M.2 expansion bay arrived.

 

[just_like_that]

is it because its cross gen?

 

[Orta]

You should get that tattooed across your forehead.

There is only so much you can do with a Cross-Gen game from a technical aspect.
It will be GT8 before we see what they really can do.

 

[yurinka]

I assume the 110GB size is for PS4, and that in PS5 will be way smaller thanks to Kraken.

If GT7 doesn't return Polyphony Digital towards the top of SIE, I think it might be time to put them out to pasture and maybe create a new team for Gran Turismo. I don't mean to be hyperbolic in saying that.

Yes, you are very hyperbolic. There are zero reasons to put the out to pasture, the GT series sold a ton of millions of units, won a ton of awards and got great reviews. GT Sport was released in 2017 and in 2019 was estimated to be at 8M units sold. This is around 3 years ago and this isn't counting what it could have sold since then, or even potential extra sales if they ever decide to port it to PC.

GT7 seems that it's going to have learnt from GTS and would add many more stuff including things their fans asked for a long period of time. Pretty likely will be better received than GTS was and will sell more than GTS. And may even be a key player for Sony on eSports and VR.

Who fucking cares if it's in the top of SIE or not as long as it keeps selling very well, specially in a context where racing games don't sell a shit outside a few top IPs.

Horizon being like 90 GB and this being 110 GB is nutty. I was hoping to see moderately sized games. Is there a breakdown of ps4 install vs ps5

With the game taking up 110GB is the game just loaded or did they not make great use of the Kraken compression. Will be interested to see the PS4 size compared to the PS5 size.

The link in the OP says they don't know if this size is for PS4 or PS5. So maybe it's for PS4 and for PS5 gets way smaller.

How many unique tracks will they have in 7? I've put in a lot of hrs in Sport, and it looks almost identical.

GT7 will have 420 cars and 90 tracks at launch. So as always it's super likely they'll keep adding more post launch.

 

[DonJorginho]

110 GB For the install of Gran turismo.

What a great deal!!!!

Jim Ryan you idiot

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

not because i have a PC gamer

 

[Unknown?]

You'd think a PC gamer could afford proper storage. Must be one of those casuals.

 

[SLB1904]

not because i have a PC gamer

Who is he?

 

[kevm3]

I haven't really been following the latest iterations of the series. What is GT7 bringing over GT Sport?

 

[FrankWza]

 

[chonga]

Jim Ryan you idiot

M.2 slot to install any compatible open market drive without the need to pay Sony markup meaning you can jostle your content for free if you're tight or pay for the extra if you need it.

You idiot.

 

[Beechos]

I really hope everything else matches the lvl of the graphics shown so far. I agree with the op polyphony is one of those developers kind of at a crossroads. If the game is good theyll be at the top of the racing game developers list again but if its not then who knows what might happen to them.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Exactly why I hate cross gen.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I haven't really been following the latest iterations of the series. What is GT7 bringing over GT Sport?

Single player campaign, 4K60, live weather, hopefully, no load times.

 

[TGO]

I haven't really been following the latest iterations of the series. What is GT7 bringing over GT Sport?

It's full fledged Gran Turismo
With a lot of returning features that haven't been present since GT3 and bunch of new ones

 

[Windle Poons]

Hoping half the races aren't locked behind stupid licence tests thats all. Already seen from a screenshot they are back.

 

[Phase]

GT7 will have 420 cars and 90 tracks at launch. So as always it's super likely they'll keep adding more post launch.

Yeah but variations count in that 90. It's not 90 unique tracks. To me this game looks just like GT Sport, with obvious graphic improvement. The only way I purchase this is if there are a lot of fresh new tracks I haven't driven 1000x before.

 

[Raven117]

So, a thread focused on PD turns into a hardware fight? K.

I’m very curious to what PD has in store. They occupy a funny space in the “racer” world. For straight up simulation, assetto corso and iracing are much stronger.

From “Arcady” there is Forza horizons and others.

So where does PD fit in? It will need to balance into the “game” nature of racing which I think it will, while also supporting really good online support and racing.

There is absolutely a spot for them…. It just… like any game…. Needs to be really fun to play.

 

[adamsapple]

That's seems incredibly large for a racing game.

Does it have a shit load of 4K videos or something ?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It will be GT8 before we see what they really can do.

Heard that since 3. Still been the same old clinical circuits, stiff arse driving mechanics, hoover car sound effects and pompous menus

 

[Shubh_C63]

damn I really wanna get into the car sim scene.
