I feel compelled to say, after seeing things like the drivehub,
the possibilities touted in the livery editor,
with the capability to get rid of all those annoying stickers and make a car truly my own, and Mr. KazYam himself stating
GTPlanet
KY: Gran Turismo Sport is actually going to contain more features than any other game in the series to date.
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.
my resolve began to, if not crumble, at least have taken a couple body blows. Last week I was actively looking for deals on a PS4 and determining if a new TV might be required to experience the game to its fullest.
However. After seeing that Mr. KazYam did not hold up to his marketing claims, up there in that quote in bold, and seeing others discover the release did not include in game functionality to manage the club community, perhaps the PS4/PSN community features have functionality to manage this aspect of SNAIL but since I don't have the PS4 this is only conjecture, there is also no current functionality to limit all tuning. Perhaps SNAIL management should contact the GTP WRS admins and see if they would be willing to share the way they check submitted replays for car and track settings and if it can be adapted to monitor and report on multiple cars in one replay. Lacking as well at game release in the livery editor is the ability to import custom graphics. This is GT6 all over again. If nothing has been dropped, where is the Track creator/Track Path Editor? If only things have been added, where's all the tracks the previous games have featured. Cars? Pretty sure
@Handlebar prophesied just such a model some time ago.
A new direction for the marquee is it? I'm befuddled to determine what that direction might be Mr. KazYam. I'm concerned the direction you and your cohorts in the FIA are taking the game will only serve to make Gran Turismo a legitimately gross money grab. I'll illustrate. If I fall for this current half baked scheme and wish to play Gran Turismo Sport in all its 4k/HDR glory, I'll first have to spend $400 for the console, another $300+ for a compatible wheel that's close to comparable to what I had with GTs 5 & 6, another $300+- for a 42" 4k/HDR TV and, since my receiver is a few years old and I doubt its compatibility for 4k/HDR I'll probably need another $400+ for that. So, roundabouts $1500.00 and I'll get less, of everything, than both the previous 2 games. That's even without the most trivial costs of the game itself and the PS+ subscription to support playing it. Was that the "only have been added" part you meant? While I've no evidence yet to support it, I suspect there will be costs involved with allowing you to make good on that above promise with certain car and track DLC packs. While I applaud your decision to offer what little DLC there was to have in GT6 for free, those freebies do not entice me to put down anything further on your products. Current reports I'm seeing don't encourage me at all that I might enjoy the game to previous levels and the fact that more than a few of the Nothings that weren't dropped have been feels like, at worst, a punch to the crotch of SNAIL and other similar organizations and, at best, a thumb to the nose at those same organizations.
I seem unable to find any hard data for the first 2 days the game has been on sale, perhaps no one will publish anything until after the weekend, so maybe this half baked scheme will turn out not to be so half baked if the market bears it up. I kind of hope not after the half-assed batch of functions was revealed.
My resolve has been forged anew. It will take something significant to break or melt it now.
While I hope, for SNAIL's sake, Polyphony Digital will quickly patch in those features that weren't going to be dropped, I have little faith in the level of honor displayed and even less confidence in the integrity of the entire Gran Turismo team to deliver on the promises of their leader.
You did a great job to come back for 2nd after going off at Suzuka east btw.
. At least we get paid for them again.
