Gran Turismo Sport is due imminently! We took a look at this week's demo and were impressed with the improvements over prior betas. Performance is improved and the HDR implementation is so good, we decided to build a video around it.

Sweet.

Watching this on an SDR display and even here the lighting looks incredible.

edit: Finally a (nearly) locked 60 FPS GT game.

 

[Smokey]

Agree 100%. It looks incredible at 4k and with HDR. Should be the showpiece title for Pro, 4k and HDR.

 

[Cess007]

All I wanna say is that even when I don't care really much about GT, Moon Over the Castle is still an amazing song.

Also, I really need a HDR capable TV set

 

[oRuin]

Looks amazing. The demo was a joy to play.

 

[rashbeep]

i need a good hdr tv

i need to see the light

 

[BigEmil]

They went above to get HDR the best they can

 

[InsaneTiger]

Wow, that's looks really, really good.

 

[sinonobu]

Man I have no interest in racing sims or have time to play this game but this looks awesome.

Might actually pick up down the line.

 

[metalslimer]

Nvm I got it to work

Wow it looks amazing

 

[MattAces]

Remember the good old times when we complained how ugly GT Sports was?
Also this.

[Gestault]

When they were talking up their HDR efforts, I couldn't tell if it was just the studio trying to convey the normal benefits of HDR, or if the results really did stand out. This is fantastic.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Yeah the game has come a long way since the closed beta started. Looks so good!

 

[Gowans]

It looks great on my KS8000, credit to DF to doing these HDR videos.

I’ve been really enjoying HDR games at the moment, Forza, Shadow of War, Wildlands.

Sometimes I think it makes more of a difference that 4K. It’s subtitle at times but jumps out when you see the TV going to ranges you’re not used to seeing on a tele.

GTS looks great here!

 

[Crayon]

Game looks fuckin awesome across the board.

 

[Loudninja]

There's more good news - specifically a clear improvement in performance in the high resolution mode compared to earlier betas. Based on our experience, the overall level of consistency here is very impressive, with Polyphony delivering its closest lock to 60 frames per second since the PS2 era. We had a difficult time encountering any slowdown during gameplay, meaning that if it does occur, it should be rare. The races all play back very smoothly at 60 frames per second - a level of performance often missed in the PS3 installments. PS4 Pro owners also get the chance to run replays at 1080p60 - while base PS4 and the high-res Pro mode operate these at 30fps instead. It's not a perfect lock but the results look brilliant - just the tonic after 10 years of top-tier racing games only offering 30fps replays.

I don't need to hear this. Just got an HDR 4K TV, have GT on preorder, but had no plans to get a Pro anytime soon (have a 1X on preorder instead). Ugh. Maybe Black Friday will bring a great Pro bundle for a reasonable price.

The base PS4 still supports HDR, though. Just at 1080p.

 

[c0de]

That sounds surprisingly positive for the demo. But I'm not getting an HDR set soon, too many bad options out there and the good ones are definitely too expensive.

 

[pretty done]

Well I guess I'm gonna buy this game then

First since Gran Turismo 2. Hyped for some reason I can't explain.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Oh, huh, I didn't even realize that. Must have been thinking of the original Xbox One model, that didn't support HDR.

 

[FonkyByNature]

Yup, the game looks incredible in 4k and HDR. Just got my 4K tv last week and i'm blown away by the picture quality.

tcl p607 has great hdrand is very cheap

 

[dark10x]

I'm just watching the tone mapped version on YouTube for the first time and it does a pretty reasonable job. It loses a lot but is still quite attractive.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Hope this game comes to Redbox. I'm not much into racing games, but I want to see this in person.

 

[andylsun]

My 12.9 inch 2017 iPad Pro can only play this in 480p. No HDR either. Darn, it’s the only HDR device I own.

 

[ActiveRush]

On mobile here, iPhone 6s+ specifically, and can’t set the quality past 480p. Happened with the recent Forza 7 HDR video as well.

Can you post the settings you use when playing HDR enabled games on your pro?

 

[entremet]

Oh, huh, I didn't even realize that. Must have been thinking of the original Xbox One model, that didn't support HDR.

You're correct. Maybe possible, MS never patched it in.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I need an HDR compatible TV. My Toshiba is 6 years old. Time for a new model.

 

[RedlineRonin]

Anyone compare this to Forza 7? Thoughts from an HDR perspective?

 

[c0de]

tcl p607 has great hdrand is very cheap

Not available in Germany.

 

[bombshell]

Goddamn some salty Forza fans in the video comments...

 

[Gowans]

Can you post the settings you use when playing HDR enabled games on your pro?

I grabbed them from the thread here months ago, I use an Xbox one S till the x is out

 

[Chesskid1]

i'll wait for retail release before jumping to any conclusion, but looks promising.

 

[Nostremitus]

The demo looks good as hell on my Bravia.

 

[Stinkles]

HDR's killer app is actually mad max, planet earth 2 and Sparks on Netflix.

 

[Loudninja]

This is basically the retail release.

 

[backbreaker65]

There are levels to this, my take 1st day of demo/preload

[Team Andromeda]

It sure is, the best HDR game ever and a real game changer for HDR

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Huh, having a HDR calibration tool to be able to better optimize for people's different HDR TVs seems so simple it's brilliant.

 

[RichiRamjag]

HDR's killer app is actually mad max, planet earth 2 and Sparks on Netflix.

But then you’ve gotta watch mad max. Planet earth 2 was amazing though.

 

[CrayToes]

It honestly does look incredible on a 4K HDR display.

 

[c0de]

HDR's killer app is actually mad max, planet earth 2 and Sparks on Netflix.

Well, PlayStation's HDR app then.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Already looks fantastic in SDR, can't wait to see it in HDR.

 

[backbreaker65]

HDR's killer app is actually mad max, planet earth 2 and Sparks on Netflix.

You left out John Wick 2 and Oblivion and several others.

 

[Thats a Greay Area]

Menus and car models are beautiful and I love the use of HDR. I have to disagree w/ John about some of those backgrounds though, sometimes you'll turn a corner and look up and it's just like a watercolor painting in distance.

All that said, it's great to play a GT game at a stable framerate again.

 

[Chamber]

HDR's killer app is actually mad max, planet earth 2 and Sparks on Netflix.

It's a terrible movie but Transformers 5 is jaw dropping on UHD. I actually thought Mad Max was disappointing.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I love that you guys are making HDR movies. I liked the Forza one better though, because it had platform comparisons.

Played it through my KS8000 YT app and it impressed me more than playing the game itself on my OG PS4, just like browsing the GTS threads here it makes me feel I'm playing a different game. I guess it's a great case for a Pro as well.

 

[Erudite]

(Re-posting from the other GTS thread)

I have a PS4 Pro, Xbox One S, and the Sony x900e YouTube app.

Do any of these support HDR passthrough in their respective YouTube apps?
