EXCLUSIVE: Bugatti VGT Powers Through GT Sport’s Tokyo Expressway (UPDATED)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKQwO4oc6yY

UPDATE: These videos have been removed at the request of Polyphony Digital and Sony.

While our inaugural Gran Turismo Week festivities may have concluded, as promised, our coverage of GT Sport hasn’t.

What better way to kick off a new week than with the last of our direct-feed gameplay videos, giving you your first-look at Bugatti’s Vision Gran Turismo. The Bugatti takes charge around Tokyo Speedway, one of the new locations set to be featured in the game. The video primarily takes place behind the wheel of Bugatti’s W16-powered project car, providing an extended look at the jet fighter-inspired HUD, and a steering wheel seemingly taken straight from a prototype racing machine.

It won’t take long to acknowledge the Bugatti’s turbo chatter and guttural exhaust note – all indications that the audio is on the right path. Whether or not things improve from here remain to be seen.

Stay tuned: there’s still more GT Sport news to unpack, including a special GTPlanet report from the London event coming later today.

    I think they removed videos because of all that whining, and I think gt sport is not really redy yet and Pd don’t want to show what is no finished, because it can give negative effect. And it did… A bit, but why not? It’s a reason to improve and there is not much great physics sim racers with deep gameplay and online.. So hardcore sim drivers still will look into gt and most of them play.. Pd just don’t make the game mainstream please.. Keep it hard, realistic and unforgiving.. With many classic cars… On many racing tracks… One day it will happen… One day.. When gt7 hits..

      Pretty sure they didnt remove it because people were whining. That’d be absurd. If they didnt want to show something unfinished, the whole presentation that Kaz did shouldnt have taken place. So again, no.

    I’m all for being an optimist but hoping we’ll see a major shift in graphics and sound and perhaps even gameplay behavior by Nov. is wishful thinking. I’ve been away from this site for a long time and funny enough I see the same GT apologists around today as in the GT5 release. I hope GTS will support either triple screens like GT5 did or maybe support dual PS4s for improved VR support.

  3. jezboosted

    I just watched it and to be honest, it was quite disappointing.
    I understand them taking it down, it should never have been uploaded in the first place.

  4. mikronimo

    What kind of secret could be a video of a game? Someone in Sony and PD has lost his mind…

  5. Aloha62_2

    Taking down all the half decent videos but leaving that absolutely shocking trailer up? PD have lost the plot, there need to be some changes of management.

  6. Lambofanghini

    Caught the Bugatti vid on YouTube. Sounds nice and throaty! Love the whipple noise coming from the turbos. The frame rate seemed to hold quite well for a 50% complete game. Nothing’s wrong with wanting our game to be the best, and wanting PD to win over newcomers and retain those protesting various issues. I have faith they won’t let us down. Each iteration has given us something to smile and cheer about, and I’m happy to see the VGTs lives extended in GT Sport. I wonder if GT Sport will have weather and day/night transitions.

    Why do all the tracks have no tire marks/oil/dirt/scratches, etc.?
    They all seem to be pristine gray.

  8. Leggacy

    Everyone whinging abut the sound the graphics etc.. ITS NOT FINISHED YET!!!! They probably pulled the vids for a good reason. I’m sick of all the complaining going on, you people want the moon on a stick!

    1. Tenacious D

      That’s the state of human beings on Earth in the new millennium. Complain till you get what you want. Then complain some more anyhow.

    2. Isho

      Going silent for a very long time just to reveal a mediocre product that is “not finished yet” is pretty stupid.

  9. WyldAnimal

    So you Hold this HUGE Multi-Day Unveiling Event for all the World to See, but then you Pull the Videos Showcasing It?? Too Much Constructive Feed back I Guess.

    Makes so much sense..

    I guess I’ll just purchase one of the competitors SIM titles who aren’t afraid of constructive feedback.

    1. Tenacious D

      You obviously7 haven’t spent much time on those racer’s forums. The only bunch that I’m aware of which will let you guys get away with the caterwauling here are the Sector 3 RaceRoom forums.

    2. Johnnypenso

      The point you are missing of course is that this forum is not run by the developers it’s a fan site. Big difference. You are also obviously not familiar with the AC Official Forum. The don’t allow mindless moaning and complaining nor should they, but there is a ton of constructive feedback back and forth, a ton of problem solving done by other players and the devs themselves and direct feedback from the sound and physics departments on how things work and why. On top of that, user ideas and content has been directly incorporated into the game, cars and tracks included.

      Please don’t make wrap everyone up in your gross exaggerations, it just makes you look silly.

  10. breyzipp

    Lol videos removed at the request of PD and Sony. Ok back to news about PCars, FM6, Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally then. Gees…

  11. SavageEvil

    That Bugatti sounds like rubbish, is that how that cars sounds in real life? That’s quite tame for something outputting 1000+ horses and man these videos on there alpha looking courses are hella ugly, it’s just grey and more grey. I am suspecting that there will be no night courses and if they have them the city night tracks are going to be in some weird skybox just like the last two GT’s which did not use the same skybox the dynamic courses did so it looked artificial.
    Again that Bugatti and it’s digitally perfect engine, no burbles and grunts just smooth synth everywhere. Yuck!

    1. MeanElf

      City night tracks won’t have much in the way of visible stars anyway, what with the light pollution, especially a city like Tokyo.

  12. Will McCloude

    Personally I think the GT Vision cars are a waste of time and i think there’s something wrong with the with the Bugattis quad exhaust, two look different from the other two or is it just me? Also I really really really hope that menu sound doesn’t make it to the final game because it’s just annoying after a while

  13. Rubrbrnr

    While the sound is an improvement on GT6 (no doubt) there is still a long way to go, just to be competitive with other racing titles, IMO. Granted, YouTube is not the best source for audiophiles, but have you watch clips of the new Chiron? The thing is an absolute beast. Sound like some vehicular metaphor for Smaug, from the Hobbit. Like it wiil leave a trail of scorched earth behind it everywhere it goes. The GTS version sound like a small displacement inline 6 with a turbo, barely audible over the horrific (Miata-like) squealing of tires. Still a long way to go…. but fingers crossed. It’s still early days in beta and at least 1 or 2 release delay announcements before we’ll get our hands on it ;)

  14. Ben Rogue

    That YouTube video quality is awful, I mean really bad! Will have to see it in person to make a final judgment.

  15. true_kiat

    Can’t see a thing with that very límited field of view. I’d rather watch at least one lap from the bumper cam view to really appreciate the track feeling, but thanks anyway. I agree it seems part of a larger track; I’m not asking for TXR3’s nearly 100 miles C1 rendición, but I hope there’ll be more to it.

  16. beezball

    I can’t take to youtube compression. It’s virtually impossible to perceive a difference, even set to 1080/60. Can’t the uncompressed videos be posted as a torrent or something? Please?

  17. Just The Stig

    Sideways head movemnt in turns confirmed, I guess.

    Was it like that in the other videos? This is the first time I’ve noticed it.

    1. Johnnypenso

      There is some side to side head movement in the corners but the problem is, if that’s supposed to represent some kind of helmet of first person view, a real driver would be looking to the apex, not holding their head straight ahead and letting it move slightly to the outside while cornering. Let’s hope they include a “look to apex” slider in the final game.

  18. speedy_2

    Not a fan of this track. Doesn’t show off any realism. Probably extremely boring with a slower car. Also, the confirmation tone in the menus in extremely annoying. I hope that doesn’t make it into the final release.

  19. jpbonadio

    Thank you for the video Michael. Any chance to upload these GTS videos to gamersyde, where the bitrate would be much better?

  20. TheGTGuy

    I see that La Sarthe seems to be outlined inside the car on the onboard computer. Might be in GTS.

  21. jm79

    I get the impression that this track really comes alive at night.

    Great vids GTP – shame this is the last!

  22. Warbeast101

    i hope that coverage provides something about GT academy i’m sure i’m not alone when i say i’m dying to know

  23. dance1211

    Is it just me or does this track feel like the short version of a much larger one? It feels way too simplistic for the usual well designed GT track.
