Rally really tests the audio engine. Shakes and rattles in the cabin, engine off and on load quickly, bouncing off the rev limiter, locking up the tires, surface sounds. GT is shockingly weak in all these areas vs. Dirt Rally.
I dont know why PDI just didn't commission sector 3 to do their audio, I'm sure they would have been honoured to do it. Heck, or even Evolution studios (personally dont think Driveclub car sounds are that great). Instead it seams that they are just struggling with the sounds and improved or not, close your eyes and you can tell it's a GT game.Woah!!! That was a GREAT trailer, definitely gave me the chills Front Mission used to give me before they ruined it with that FPS Front Mission Evolved 🤬. I'd join ya but I don't have a PS4 yet nor I'm planning on getting one seeing where GT is headed but your invitation sure reminded me how cool people in GTP are so it's safe to say I'll see ya around!
I get your point but I very much disagree with it. I don't think its expecting too much from PoDi considering the vast difference in resources, both human and financial. Sure, PoDi is "trying" but trying doesn't quite cut it. They're trying late, they aren't trying enough and they're "trying" with budget enough for "doing". Not to mention the time it took them to finally try. There is absolutely no excuse there for them. The issue you mention with R3E, for instance, is completely unrelated: it's a service flaw, not a design one. Other than that, Sector 3 seems perfectly aware of what their customers want and they deliver. Unlike PoDi who insists on giving us features and content we never asked for (Kubelwagens, Lunar joyrides, GPS gizmos for GT-Rs, the list goes on and on) or simply not delivering at all.
Just imagine if the guys at Sector 3 or Kunos had PoDi's budget, or if PoDi implemented a way of listening to feedback akin to PCars on it's formative stages. Now THAT would be a kickass racing simulator. But, alas, Kaz is too busy stroking his own ego to listen to us fans or to look around and consider the competition...
it was a big jump in graphics at the time, as much as i wanted it and was rolling in money at that time i Couldn't justify buying it.
It wasn't far off the price of a new console, in fact iirc the cartridge itself was almost like a new console.
But we had direct feed videos back then if my memory serves me well and also peoples impressions who were at all the events.Therefore you have the direct feed videos
As above, that was the case with GT6, also GT5P looked better than GT5 for some reason.
That still looks preet good for a game from the 90s.
The budget PDI have means that they can seek out and hire or commission the best around. There is simply no reason for GT to be trailing every other game in the sound department by some way. It can be fixed easily by throwing money at it rather than one or two of these events where they aren't really showing anything.
The images of the latest Horse Thief Mile track look 'interesting'.
Not sure if this equates to great racing, or a slow inline train.
And people complain about the new Tokyo track being too narrow.
Time will tell I guess. 👍
Or nice touge battles.

Maybe it's running at locked 60 because they dropped things like dust and dirt pickup, headlight reflections etc. These features really chew into the framerates and sacrifices have to be made. I don't think there's anything probable about their future inclusion at this point, possible is more like it.
It's definitely one of my least favourite of the real tracks in any game. PCars also had the Horse Thief Mile which I found much more interesting and challenging to drive and was a real blast in the Superkarts. There are so many good American tracks from Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta, VIR, Road America etc but I'd guess that Willow, with it's lack of trackside scenery and activity, is much easier on the framerates and will likely remain a staple of the franchise. Also hard to complain about a track looking desolate when it is desolate.
Having said that, Willow springs is an absolutely beautiful place in the evening.It's definitely one of my least favourite of the real tracks in any game.

PD, any release date for GTS ?????
No it doesn't mean that at all, especially if it's running on the Pro and not the Standard PS4. Headroom on the Pro doesn't mean headroom on the Standard PS4. You're also watching replays, not gameplay, as it happens, which is a different level of stress on the hardware. It's far too early to say what actual gameplay will look like, or run like, at home where we play the game on whichever system we happen to have.
Sorry, but as soon as anyone says, "according to Kaz", I take everything with a grain of salt...a rather large one
