Polyphony's Kazunori Yamauchi thinks Gran Turismo Sport can run at 8K on PS5

During the studio tour, Kazunori Yamauchi took us from desk to desk, showing his staff beavering away on the game and the insane amount of detail the team goes to make the experience authentic. It’s really quite insane.

At one particular desk, he zoomed right in on the wheel of a car to show the small-type – like the PSI – was in place and legible. A ridiculous detail given you’ll never notice at 300km/h flying down from the heights of Mount Panorama.

Then he said the following: "It takes six months to create a single car. It’s over-specced for PS4 Pro. So we are building for future versions of the console rather than the one we see today".

Intrigued by the suggestion that Gran Turismo Sport is being built to work on a theoretical PlayStation 5, whenever it might eventuate, during our one-on-one I asked Kazunori Yamauchi to clarify that comment. He replied, “I think it would be no problem to run it at 8K even.”

8K consumer TVs are meant go on sale in Japan in 2020 in time for the Tokyo Olympics.

But hey, lets try getting 4K games at 60fps with next-gen graphics first. 8K resolution is pretty useless and a total waste for games.

@airraidjet: Why is 8k the magical cutoff point for being useless and a waste?

Can the human eye even perceive such detail?

It takes six months to create a car so we've included ten cars for your enjoyment. Two more will be available for download in a years time.

He is having lunch with Chris Robert's, too frequently.

So GT7 will take up 500GB on my HDD?! Cool!

We already have a handful of games hitting 100GB's this gen. I can't imagine how much space would be needed for an 8K game.

And considering the PS5 has no release window or specs his comment amounts to **** all.

lol

With how bland this game looks, and all the 2D environmental assets I'd say this game should run at 8K on the PS4 Pro.

You would think but Phony done F'ed up bad half assing and just proves how weak the Poo is....

:P

"We don't need 4k, we want 30 fps 1080p"

*Sees article*

"Cool"

No it can't

Let's hit native 4k first, buddy lol

"I've got nothing good to say about GT so I'll make shit up "

That's all I got from talking about 8k.

Ahhh, FINALLY, Polyphony is developing these forever-games the right way. They absolutely should be over-aiming these car assets for future hardware. At least now we know it won't take eighty forevers to get a Gran Turismo on PS5.

In time, I'm sure.

And this man, as we all know, doesn't perceive time like we do.

The PS5 will play games in 20K and 30fps.

@airraidjet: might be pointless in one sense, but maybe it'll speed up 4k adoption

gran turismo sport plus coming in 2032

LOL

That's cool

*goes to play Forza Horizon 3*

There something serious wrong with this studio. I can see now it comes from the top. They should think about how they are going to reboot the series in a serious way. PS5 can help just get GTS out of the way. Start building brand new engine framework that does not take mechanics away, instead evolves them. Stop thinking about resolution and GTS. It will be funny to see if the brand is powerfully enough to survive this Street Fighter 5 moment that is going to happen to GTS.

Well until 8k TVs and the PS5 hit the market and we see how the game is optimized, this is all just blowing smoke out of his ass.

Even two GTX 1080ti's can't even do 8k. lol

When the PS5 is officially announced, and the specs are known, it is going to create chaos on this forum. When the PS5 releases, it is going to drop a nuke on this forum.

Did you learn nothing from the last six months? Don't hype it too much you might get burned. lol

Can you drift around a corner like Outrun 2? Does it contain Magical Sound Shower? Not. Interested.

The way lems have gotten burned by over-hyping the X1X? Yeah, dude, I know.

Obviously not since you're making predictions already and it hasn't even been announced in a rumor much less officially. Oh I know, the Scorpio is still stinging cause it'll play all multiplats better than the Pro.

A hug for you, sweetie.

**hugs**

I'm sure it will easy enough to push PS2 era LoD cars at 8K on PS5.

I'll take it :)

LMAO.

That's what happens when you feed CR Milk & Cookies lol

I'm getting 4D 120hz vibes here...

Haha I just posted something similar.

lol yea right...& its coming out 2018....if you believe that.. :P

AMD's PR is already hyping 8K rez with thier RX Vega.

NAVI 11 7 nm generation is estimated to be RX Vega 64 in power for RX-770/780 mainstream.

Vega 11 mainstream for RX-670/680 mainstream estimate.

I really don't care about all this 4k 8k bullshit, all I want is a rock solid 60fps.

I think he was referring to his car models being ready for 8k displays.

But he talks so much shit anyway, I thought the redone models for GT5 and 6 were supposed to be future proof, obviously not.

Can't we settle on 4K for a couple generations, I'd rather consoles squeeze out graphical performance at that standard instead of keeping games looming like 7th gen games chasing the resolution horizon.

GT5/GT6 models may have been designed for 1080 displays as future proof, but not for specifically much higher quality displays. As you said in your comment, he was referring/alluding to car models being ready for 8k displays.

4K looks like a window. What the hell can 8K do better that's noticeable?

I'm sure 8k/30fps will be better than 4k/60fps

(in general, gts is 60fps title)

@Telekill: It depends on the size of the screen and the distance you are viewing it from. As a mega crude example, the quality of a 4K image on a cinema screen vs a mobile phone screen viewed at 1ft away will be very different.

But will it do 120fps? We all know it won't do 8k. Let's get 1080p and 4k down at 60 fps locked before worrying about anything more. I hope Sony isn't getting cocky like they did with ps2 which caused all the false promises on the ps3.

I'd be happy if they just released a good gran turismo game.

"we can only render GT Sport at 2,880,000 pixels which is 1/3 of 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro, but with the PlayStation 5 we'll be able to render at 33,177,600 pixels"

that is exactly what this guy is saying, so he's claiming the PlayStation 5 will be 11.52x more powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro, that would require a48 Teraflop GPU

either the PlayStation 5 is releasing in 2025 or beyond, or this guy is full of shit, i'm going with the latter
