Do you use bumper cam? They’ve changed the fov quite a bit in that view.
Yes, it looks rather bad. Is there a way to change it? You can change the cockpit view but I don't see any options for FOV in bumper cam. It really stands out since I'm still playing GT Sport.
Its perfect on my TV I do a lot of natural light photography so I have a good feel for tone. Im sorry you're having issues, I first changed up my own HDR presets when they brought Goodwood to GTS as it was too bright. Have a tinker with your TV menu's rather than the game's.
I'll try the game settings first. I don't want to start keeping a spreadsheet of settings per game. HDR has been a lot of hit and miss. Sometimes it looks awesome, sometimes it gives me migraines (Horizon Forbidden West) I don't want to mess up the perfect looking GT Sport :/
Anyway it must be a brightness issue as the sun on Big Willow (one of the menu races) takes up a quarter of the screen. One huge yellow circle. It was the same on Goodwood (in GT7) The sun is low as in on the Nord this week in GT Sport, yet there it looks right.
HDR is the new NTSC, never the same color...
I unlocked the Nordschleife and have been driving on it with the GR.3 Lexus, same thing I've been doing all week in GT Sport. It is quite different in GT7.
First of all, dynamic time and weather is really cool! It adds a lot to the experience. Just a shame the AI is still so bad. On pro level they're still braking for Flug platz and other places where a little lift off the throttle is more than plenty. And the yellow flag at the start is hilarious. The AI seems to have a 66% chance of causing a yellow flag at the start which makes all the cars practically come to a stand still. If you pass any you get a penalty. Parking lot start... Also the game kept starting me on Heavy wets, even though I had changed them before. The custom race settings all also still reset every time ugh.
Yet driving in the spray behind other cars over N24 is quite a challenge. Guess where the brake points are, relying on muscle memory
Grip didn't seem affected though, I was racing on RM since I didn't know the arcade race had rain. Everything felt the same. Just for show in the arcade race? (I didn't try rain in the custom race)
What is throwing me off is the fov change or rather everything seems stretched out to the horizon. This is GT Sport:
(Captured while racing in HDR, hence the washed out look)
vs GT7 in about the same spot
(Captured while racing in SDR)
It's more obvious in motion and especially while passing cars. They stretch out like a stretch limo :/
What you can see is that GT7 applies a lot more motion blur, which probably explains why I notice less of the graffiti while racing and the road takes on a more plastic look depending on how the light hits it.
(Anyone know what that new thingie on the HUD is, on the left?)
While racing the track seems to have been neutered quite a bit. There is much less movement in the car at least in bumper cam. Much more of a magic carpet ride instead of seeing all the bumps shake the view while racing. The karoussel is the biggest letdown. Sound and rumble feedback are nearly absent compared to GT Sport. It just feels like the rest of the road. The big dip on the right before entering the final straight is gone. And the mini karoussel before that seems far more flat. No satisfaction anymore diving in that and using it to whip the car around the corner.
Mixed bag:
+ Dynamic time and weather, huge step forward.
- FOV change, Heavy motion blur, Much smoother track.
It does look good yet the track doesn't feel the same :/
As for the driving physics, very similar except the car tends to break out now and then where it doesn't in GT Sport.
To be followed by another unskippable cut scene. That's when I walked out again. Just let me have the rest of tracks!
