I guess I was wrong then. This demo is not a tribute to Gran Turismo games of old.

This is a very stupid idea and a waste of time for everyone all around.
It's not a technical demo because it's compatible with PS4, four years after the PS5 launched.
Just give everyone a 24h period to play the game for free. That's how other studios do it for games.
But that would involve PD learning something from other studios instead of handicapping development for future games releasing demos for a game that's been out 2 1/2 years

It’s a pretty big threshold to download and install [insert size of GT7 here] just to try it out for 24 hours.
A small demo isn’t such a bad idea.
A whole dedicated demo for a game which has been put for nearly 3 years? To.... attract a new player base? I would have thought that if anyone was truly interested in GT, they would have tried it by now. Oh well, it is PD, after all. Common sense and that studio don't always go together...

But why ??? It is a demo to attrack NEW players, and maybe to lure back some who played in the past but did not get GT7 (but I doubt that, if those who already like GT franchise did not buy GT7 yet, they surely have reasons that a demo will probably not change). New players don't have a clue about how GV was and how it is now.
I don't see why a demo (of any game) is a bad idea, except if the game is so bad that the producer prefers hyping the game with marketing and lure a maximum number of player to buy it before realising it is bad. If the game is good, a demo is a good way to attract new players to give them a glimpse of what they could get if they buy the full game after.
Who said it was going to be a technical demo ?
This or a demo are 2 good ways to attract new players. But the demo is much easier to download and install and it gives a quick overview of what's in the game (plus it hides some bad aspects of it, like roulette or game economy...). Plus 24H is a very short time frame.
Can you imagine that there are people not enough interested in GT to buy it just to see how it is ? Now they have a free demo, quick to install, which will give them a proper idea (not complete though... they are in for some surprises with the full game).

I havent paid attention to any game being free for 24h to try and then decide whether it is worth it or not.
Can you name one?
Demos are generally fine, small download to get a glimpse and see if it could be interesting.

Yep! If pre orders for GT8 went live today I’d definitely buy it!

Should take 2-3 hours for experienced GT players to complete.

Well, as a long standing GT fan and someone who has sunk many hours in to GT7 - this is exactly what I expected. An intro to GT for those who maybe haven't experienced it. I mean, the name is "My First GT" lol.
I will, however, download it and complete it just because.

You could probably argue the Challenger is GT2, there's not a massive difference there between it and the one that featured in GT5.
As for my view on the whole thing, I'm happy for it. It's something for people who haven't enjoyed a Gran Turismo before, and my girlfriend and I are looking forward to sitting down for a couple hours and watching her play it as something new. She loves the music rally in GT7, and the thought of more of them had her on board.
Sometimes people forget that there's people out there who enjoy the things you don't.
(Even though I myself could take or leave it!)

I guess it's shorter play time to buy those eighteen cars by just doing Le Mans WTC700. However, slightly longer if the Countach, DS, AE86, 930 turbo, Challenger, E30, R32, Lancer, 240 and NSX just sold out.

Was going to say this as well. Suppose I'll get mine too.

It's server-side time, so you need to connect to a store that's already passed midnight. Console time isn't relevant.
We have an account just for this sort of thing

So I can connect if I make an alt/throwaway account and select NZ as my country?
