Looks about as responsive as my Toyota Highlander
If you don't have PS+ then I don't think GTS is really the game you're looking for. GTS is built around online racing.Honestly, I don't even care if the campaign is a bit light, I just want to know what exactly is locked behind PS Plus. The Japanese box has a label on it that says "Online-only" (オンライン専用but that seems absurd.

Keeping Things Fair — Staying Connected
This year's Gran Turismo includes a world first — the only video game with an online Championship endorsed by the world's motoring governing body, the FIA. As a competition endorsed by the same organization that oversees some of the biggest races in the world we're taking racing integrity very seriously for the FIA GT Championship.
In order to ensure fair racing for all, GT Sport will require an internet connection for the majority of functionality. This connectivity requirement is to ensure that progress, car availability, and driver ratings are properly maintained at all times.
PlayStation Plus will only be needed for online multiplayer. Portions of the Arcade Mode, including limited two-player split screen, single-player races on select tracks, and time trials can still be played in an offline environment.

I think Sony understand they fucked the pooch and then some with the hardcore audience for the game, they genuinely don't seem to be bothering which is fucking amazing. During the Asia conference shit like COD was getting promoted but not GT Sport? Fuck me, what a mess up.
Sony will just advertise GT Sport on TV to hell and back soon enough, they will not skimp out on that but man oh man this game has me worried when Sony are sweeping it under the rug. Still got it pre-ordered and will pick it up day 1 but shit, have they even shown weather yet?
Suzuka full race in broadcast mode. These flickering shadows need fixing but the game looks gorgeous

Is that direct feed screens versus stream shots?
Definitely the Suzuka 2014 track of the PS3 version with some removals and other minor tweaks for the worse.
They've got all the other real world tracks of the PS3 version lined up and ready to go via DLC. Absolutely disgusting.
GT6 Course Maker tracks could only be used while online, as weird as that sounds. Of course, Course Maker hasn't even been hinted at for GT Sport (and we are three weeks away from the release).That's a confusing mess if I've ever seen one. The "only online multiplayer" part I get, that's basically how all PS Plus stuff works, but then why is two-player mode "limited" and how are the single-player races only on "select tracks"? Are there online-only tracks?

So Wax is still posting bullshit screens of GT games? You remember you got banned for posting faked GT screenshots not long ago, right?
You have issues, dude.
Heh, I thought that name looked familiar. He was the guy photoshopping skyboxes on to GTS beta screenshots, right?

What if all of this is wrong though? Would ppl then stop posting like they know what they are talking about...lolI've been absolutely hammering Sport. It'll sell pretty poorly for a GT game, it'll review the worst in the series so far and the gutting of all the SP content whilst still asking for $60 is an absolute joke. Kaz either has to step down to a secondary role, or Sony Japan needs to expand PD as a studio whether Kaz wants it or not. GT has been completely mishandled and the competition is starting to make aspects of GT look embarrassing.
However, using YouTube screen caps is just all sorts of... PS3 era console wars tbh.
So you want GT, the most popular racing franchise to name itself after an obscure one because? Iracing is not the first racing game to do online racing you know.....All PD has said is that this GT will be online focused, they said it from day one tbh....After reading all this stuff it appears they marketed the game incorrectly. It is essentially a PSN iracing game. They really should have used a different name than GT or made it iGT Racing or something. They want to focus on that part of the old game so be it. It just is not the part I liked. I can see why they have put so much in this because they are not looking at the ps4, ps4 pro or perhaps even the ps5. They want it so those who love online racing can just pick up a console bundled with some wheels and their software and go. I get it.
It's just not what I want. I am a bloody causal racer. Do not want to have to work hard at this nor get my head handed to me continuously. If I want stress I will go to work. With so many racing game options out there now it's not an issue, Polyphony is trying to specialized and good luck to them.
Let's not pretend like that's ALL they said.All PD has said is that this GT will be online focused, they said it from day one tbh....

Pretty sure that's Mario Kart...So you want GT, the most popular racing franchise to name itself after an obscure one because? Iracing is not the first racing game to do online racing you know.....All PD has said is that this GT will be online focused, they said it from day one tbh....
I loved it, like REALLY loved it back in the day, but it's just old hat now. Far too many better options out there nowadays, whatever you're looking for in a racer. It hasn't moved with the times and feels like a relic, struggling to remain relevant. Such a shame.
Pretty sure that's Mario Kart...
...by an absolute country mile.
I just really think GT has had it's day; awful UI, lengthy load screens, hodgepodge graphics, antiquated structure, terrible sound effects and that laughable pan handle chase cam just scream "out of touch".

What made it so amazing in the past? What do you feel is lacking other than the traditional campaign from GTS? And what do you want GTS to have (besides the traditional campaign)?Exactly how i feel about GT. My love for A-Spec knew no bounds, and it has been a gradual, step-wise decay in that feeling (co-mingled with various frustrations) ever since. Maybe one day Kaz or Sony will come to their senses and read the writing on the wall, but if it keeps selling, you can bet your ass there won't be any soul-searching happening.
Which of the things bolded do you feel apply to GTS?Pretty sure that's Mario Kart...

Just a nitpick but why did they model the standard base Miata interior instead of the optional one with the big screen?Man, they really nailed how crappy the dash mounted radio looks in that Mazda from that year. Very well done!

I mean, it's possible it will sell and review worse than other GT games but there's also a chance people will like the change and it will review and sell very well. Lots of games have a big online focuse these days, with little or no Single Player modes and still review and sell well.
But all the Single Player hasn't been gutted, as GT Sport still has plenty of Single Player content too, Arcade Mode + Campaign Mode with 150+ events. Funny how people keep saying it has no single player, just because it's different from past games or not exactly what they want. It also has great graphics, realistic car handling / physics and a solid online mode (providing there are no server issues)
For me, GT Sport is looking like a solid 8/10 game. It's not perfect, docking a few points for the missing career and less cars / tracks than past games but I also think it will be a more focused game and the content that is there will still be very good. I won't ignore the good stuff it does just because it hasn't got a traditional career mode.
It's a fresh start for GT, getting rid of all stuff people complained about for the last few games and it should be a solid foundation to build on, over the next few years before they move on to GT7 or whatever the next game is, probably on PS5.
After trying the Forza 7 demo I appreciate GT Sport all the more.
Literally every single point you made is wrong.
Which ones? The UI? The load times? Mixed graphical fidelity? The sound effects? Antiquated structure?Im getting GT sport day 1 but no, he has a point on at least 4 of those. Very valid.
That was after the the backlash when people feared there would be no campaign etc...Of course GT has to cater to it's fans too, but the message on an online GT was there from early on....Let's not pretend like that's ALL they said.
Kaz - GT Sport's Online Experience is Only Around 15% of Total Game
Kaz - " Nothing has been dropped, things have only been added. Whether it be the campaign mode, or the offline gameplay, or the open lobbies, everthing has been raised in quality and there is more of it, so there is nothing to worry about. Nothing has been dropped."
You think there could perhaps be a FIA online mario Kart anytime soon? How about Nintendo's online infrastructure...how's that holding up....You think such a game would take off..?..Also, what numbers did the last MK do. Of course I've never felt to compare MK to a sim, but since you have, it would be neat to know the details anyway.Pretty sure that's Mario Kart...

No. It didn't stop with GT5. I remember before launch everyone saying it lost its crown. Then when it sold 5.5M they said it wouldn't continue to what GT traditionally has. I remember all the shit posting when GT5 was 700k NPD launch and now it's over 3M. People just don't realize that even the biggest one GT3 got most of its sells as a $20 greatest hits title. They've never done huge launch numbers but have legs that keep going.What if all of this is wrong though? Would ppl then stop posting like they know what they are talking about...lol
Glad we agree then, that PD is making statements that this game isn't online focused and that not all of their statements have been talking about this being an online focused GT.That was after the the backlash when people feared there would be no campaign etc...Of course GT has to cater to it's fans too, but the message on an online GT was there from early on....
I have a different memory. Before launch we had news about weather, day night, damages, etc and were all surprised at the amount of content in the game. Quite the opposite of the current situation.No. It didn't stop with GT5. I remember before launch everyone saying it lost its crown.

I said they made it clear from the beginning this would be online focused. I don't see how having a campaign detracts from that, seeing as they always had plans to have a campaign in it's current form and style...Glad we agree then, that PD is making statements that this game isn't online focused and that not all of their statements have been talking about this being an online focused GT.
Will there be an option to turn off most if not all of the HUD elements? I really find the HUD big, ugly, out of place and distracting.
Also, should I bother thinking of getting it if I don't have PS+?
