Colin, Tim and Greg all don't care about racing games so what's the point in this?
I just hope they have compiled useable questions..![]()
Greg is the biggest Sony fanboy on the planet so there's that.Colin, Tim and Greg all don't care about racing games so what's the point in this?
Ah jeeeez. A little bit of smh too. It's unfortunate when these things happens. If they're as unqualified as you're all saying, it could end up being pointless. I'll remain optimistic, until...LOL I love kinda funny too but boy could they find people who gave less of a ****???
Most likely they'll just repeat what we've already heard. I'm willing to bet that this is who it will start:Ah jeeeez. A little bit of smh too. It's unfortunate when these things happens.

These sort of things are intended for casual Joe Public, you're only going to be disappointed if you're expecting a serious in depth preview of hardcore sim stuff.
And also... WINTER! Which is a perfect time to hide away and waste time on video games. If they delay this til May or something, I will throw my PS4 into an abyss.2017 is coming

Realistically, if we're lucky.Personally I'm expecting 'Holiday 2017'. Because PD.
Nobody I know. The guys that were into it with me back in the day play a tiny bit any more. Our anecdotal experiences are worthless though. I'd be more interested in seeing market research. I'm sure there's someone out there whose job it is to answer this very question.Honestly, who cares about racing simulator today?
Sounds interesting for me, as I might need it if I get my Z built competitive enough."Real life racing license!".

That article makes some good points and it still brings forward the biggest question for me with GT Sport - why is the key marketing/selling point of the game hardcore online events and competitions? How do PD expect to entice the general market with
"FIA!"
"Official hardcore online championships!"
"Sanctioned events!"
"Real life racing license!"
"Get a prize at the FIA Gala!"
"Complex online rating system!"
That is not going to excite the general public no matter how much you add in "It's for everyone, 7 to 77, honest!".
What? common sense? No, kids want more scapes, more museum stuff...I agree with that point. It doesn't make sense if you want to sell millions of copies. They should focus on a varied single player experience, affection with your favorite brand, different play elements that please youngster and oldtimers. Include stuff from different car cultures and make the racing exciting.
