It's a little late, but it's still good!

So american gamers finally get some love. Hope we get the beta sooner here in U.K. rather than later.

There's absolutely nothing new in that videoclip though...

 

[doblocruiser]

I don't understand their logic. First the beta was cancelled because it would cause too much delay for GT Sport's development and now a year later they launch a beta ? I am lost.

GT Sport seems very far from finished.

Early 2016 public beta arrives in early 2017.

 

[JoeH187]

Fingers crossed I get an invite! Exciting times.

 

[imported_rik19]

amazing. maybe it`s coming out soon, as in SOON..

 

[Fat Tyre]

So from Beta to going gold and releasing the game how long does it usually take? Three to five months?

 

[trustjab]

Signed up. Hope to get that e-mail. My hands are ready!

True yes ... So did we conclude that the release date for 2017 will be delayed to 2018 .. ?

 

[sems4arsenal]

I don't see this releasing in 2017.

I'm the opposite, if the beta goes well then a 2017 release is all but certain, fully expecting a fall release now.

No,they are on schedule but a year later.

 

[AKps3]

ONLY US?!

Wow. PD even manages to 🤬 up a Beta announcement. Well, time to create a US PSN account then.

Looks like the second beta will be for EU later
"Während sich der Umfang der BETA vergrößert, werden diejenigen, die sich angemeldet oder direkt eine E-Mail erhalten haben, dafür ausgewählt, an der zweiten Phase der geschlossenen BETA teilzunehmen. Es wird nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an Plätzen geben – solltet ihr es also nicht in Phase 2 schaffen, dann bleibt dran, um im Vorfeld der Veröffentlichung mehr über weitere künftige BETA-Aktivitäten zu erfahren!"

[Castrol96]

Is it for everyone or is it a selection of people.

And yeah, I hope its not only for the US because that is...

 

[bdj57]

As far as I know being a beta tester means that you can give some feedback to developer. Is it true? If can then you guys here who selected as beta testers should give PD some advice Make sure they not making us worried again in the future

Hm. Signed up for the European link Dionisiy posted earlier as well.

 

[OHM_fusion]

Good news but come on with that trailer, what's the point if not a second of new footage is shown..

 

[adstomko]

Despite the delays, I am really looking forward to this. For some, the Tag Heuer announcement may be small, but in reality, it shows how serious Kaz and PD are taking this game. And with Tag Heuer timing, I'm guessing the frame rate must be silky smooth.

I think this has the potential to rival iRacing, given the anount of support the franchise has. And I think Assetto Corsa and Project CARS have really pushed this game to improve significantly.

A very good time to be a motorsport fan

 

[Spagetti69]

Not interested in any Beta but I will be interested impressions regarding damage model and sounds etc.

Wonder what track(s) will be included ?

Same old ones from the trailers

Does anyone know if you need PS Plus for it??

 

[RaY29rus]

Come on, guys. It's not US only, it's US first.

As the BETA begins to increase in size, those who have signed up within the PlayStation Europe forum or received a direct e-mail will be selected to participate in Phase 2 of the closed BETA. Spaces will be limited so, if you don’t get into Phase 2, make sure you stay tuned for future BETA activities in the run-up to launch!

Just wait a bit more and you'll get your beta.

 

[PiotrGT]

On offical Polish PlayStation's FB page they shared the info, and told people that they can sign up. So are they wrong or what?

 

[Streeto]

Is it for everyone or is it a selection of people.

The title literally says for *US Players* and it's a "closed" beta.

So only a few people in the US will be able to play this.

Cool story Kaz.

 

[Castrol96]

Why is it limited spaces; I don't care about playing online with anyone but just test the damn game already!!

1 car/ 1 track =

 

[AudiMan2011]

Should have been an open beta. They should also have at least added another new track or 2 rather than give Brands Hatch, Big Willow and Tokyo Expressway again.

 

[Zlork]

Signed up!

Fingers crossed

Signed up. Hope to get that e-mail. My hands are ready!

Me too !

 

[RaY29rus]

By the way, this "Daily Workout" thing is pretty cool. I hope there will be more daily challenges.

That's how betas work, you start with a closed one and re-adjust your servers accordingly.
