They said the same shit with GT6 or GT5 or GT:Sports - I wouldn't hold my breath that they will reuse the models for future games and not start from scratch

Honestly, to me the models themselves look pretty similar. Main difference being that the lighting looks much better in GT7 and lets the small details pop in a more obvious way, but all those details are present in the Forza model. Forza is also very washed out.and for those wondering why, here
polyphony's car models are best in the biz for a reason

You see, so it doesn't take 300 days to make a car

I've heard that these are 8K models that they've downscaled to 4K. Even if that isn't true, they'll never need to use higher-resolution models in the future.
The car totals will only increase from here on out. GT7 has the highest number of "premium" cars since GT2 and my guess is that GT8 will double the car total.

It didn't sell super well. I could see them putting it out as a DLC to GT7 though.

That would be really great.
It's one of the reasons why I strongly preferred PGR 3 and 4 to the contemporary GT games.

Oh it does, they just have many working on them. The 300 days also includes petitioning the manufacturers and waiting on the the red tape, legalese, etc..You see, so it doesn't take 300 days to make a car
Yep.
I remember a lot of the time sink in making the uniforms and stadium updates in MLB The Show, was the back and forth with MLB licensing and the legal teams approval process.

Well there are RIDE games. They may not be perfect, but they've got pretty extensive lineups of bikes, tracks and career events.

Huh. Never really heard of them before. Interesting! But I guess that also answers why Polyphony never bothered to make a second TT... GT just sells a whole lot more.

Wow, that means they started working on these sometime in the 2010's.

Well, at least one of them is from GT6 which has been upgraded, so technically yes.

I would recommend trying RIDE 3. It's a huge game especially with the dlc content and the progression is quite good. RIDE 4 unfortunately has been turned into a grind.

It often takes about a year for scale models of cars/vehicles to get out into production and on shelves. So I can believe it.
There's an anorak overlap for both markets, and the rivet counters of the world take innacuracies seriously and will pull companies up on it if they don't get their research right.

People here think it’s just exporting a 3D model and presto; a new car is in the game.
There’s also: rigging, programming, shaders/materials and testing involved. And of course sound indeed.
