Gran Turismo will be welcoming Brembo - the leading designer and manufacturer of braking systems - as the Official Technical Partner in Braking Systems for Gran Turismo™ 7.

Brembo will make its UPGRADE products available to players in the Tuning Shop of Gran Turismo™ 7, the virtual shop where players can upgrade the performance of their cars.

Product placement in games is becoming a big thing.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Wow thanks brembo! I could never get the same braking performance in a virtual game on my virtual car without your sticker on my caliper

 

[mekes]

Oh, good.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Brembros we won

 

[captainraincoat]

Certainly not for the first corner in monza in a public lobby

 

[mckmas8808]

Don’t know where to say it but the last good Gran Turismo was 4. Forza has long past this series.

Why bring that here?

 

[sn0man]

So Brembo is stopping us from offline campaign?

 

[TIMSTER_777]

[Airbus Jr]

There has to be some sort of difference in braking with different type of break in the game otherwise this means nothing

 

[R6Rider]

Nah, GT still has best progression.

 

[STARSBarry]

So this essentially is saying "all other brake manufacturers are shit, and all high tier breaks will be Brembo". So your upgrade list will be like 5 generic breaks and then a wall of "BREMBO" of course they will all give the same stats because no Brembo product is inferior to another Brembo product.

All of your life had lead to this moment, this perfect moment, to let the world know your thoughts. Your life is now complete. How does it feel? It’s all down hill from here, never again will you reach such epic heights. But at least you will always remember that day YOU let the world know, via the GT7 Brembo thread, that YOU indeed had an opinion.

 

[GymWolf]

But like rtx you can only see the brembo brakes during replays.

 

[Rac3r]

If you're into competitive racing then it doesn't get better than GT Sport on console. Forza Horizon is for casuals (different type of game) and the racing in Forza 7 isn't good. If you don't believe me go look up the events for each game on youtube or active streamers/youtubers; I couldn't even find any from Forza within the last year because the game is pretty much dead.

Funny, I always thought the last good forza was 4 with 6 coming kinda close and 7 being terrible and killing the series for me.

I'll still be getting the game day 1, but calling an advertiser a future official technical partner for a game that launches in a few months is slimy business imo. Unless they are still trying to figure out the technical aspects of their braking system, but I don't believe they are bring in experts at this late stage.

They're completely diff games, Forza is arcadey so you can be absolute shit at racing and still do well.

GT is a sim, but this is so off topic.

[DigitalScrap]

I love how even paid placements in games are getting announcements now.

I have two cars with Brembos, so I’m a fan, but to announce this is just a bit silly.

 

[Highway Star]

Could care less

 

[mckmas8808]

Could care less

So, how much less could you care?

 

[Miles708]

I've seen tweets stating that the actual culprit for the online-only career is FIA, they want all to be online for their logo to be in the game.
It's so absolutely idiotic that i have an hard time NOT believing it.

 

[eyesabitdull]

I don't get it.

The entire fucking game is a giant ad for every single licensed car in the game and we draw the line at the brakes?

Some of ya'll are funny.

Brembo don't make all brakes man...

 

[nikos]

I like licensed products in games, especially sims, and new footage is always good. Looks incredible.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

If it's anything like their partnership with Michelin then what's most important about this isn't that that you can buy brake pads that have the Brembo logo, the truly important thing is that Brembo will share their own modelling data with Polyphony. With companies like Brembo and Michelin they'll have vast amount of data on how their products perform from the digital simulations they'll have run while testing their products and if Polyphony has access to that simulation data as they do with data from Michelin then it will allow them to run simulations using the data that Brembo has produced.

 

[Mod of War]

Move on from the Forza riff raff.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Cars without brakes remind me of trains.

 

[Pagusas]

Cars without brakes remind me of trains.

but trains have brakes?

 

[xPikYx]

Well, having real branded staff into games improves the immersion, especially in games where you cannot mod. Assetto Corsa has this already

Strangely so is game placement in products. I still find it very strange how Citroen made a $2M car designed by Polyphony Digital for Gran Turismo.

Do you mean the Vision GT cars? Thers a bunch of brands that colab with Polyphony and make the concepts in real life.

In this video you can see some of them.

Exactly, this never happened with the other GTs /s

 

[Inviusx]

Sure why not, I'll take any reason to get some more GT7 footage.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Why bring that here?

Why bring that here?

Cous he is a console warrior and he cant handle that GT is more populair than Forza.
