You know what would have been dope? if they remaked the GT1 demo in GT7
yea i know its a long shot but i can dream
That would be a dream come true. PD should bring this track back with no changes at all and every car in it.

I'm not on a hype train for this honest 😉
I remember playing GT1 with the bronze NSX, sat on the floor in my parents living room, on a square 17 inch tv 🤣
Shame I can't find GT1 and GT2, think they are either in the loft or at my parents house still.
I really wanted to see if it still smells of rubber 😂
Remember when you struggled to fill an 8mb memory card on a PS2 🤣
FYI Kaz, this is how you do nostalgia 😉🤣

While they are at it, wherever the cars are displayed (garage or “dealership” etc), have Gran Turismo 2 East City theme on the background!They should at least bring back that menu music
Definitely curious about this demo - at least anything in regards to its content is pure speculation at this point so let the imagination prosper (or not…).

Given that game demos come from large, slow downloads these days, and not exciting discs on the front of magazines, I'm not sure how well today's players would react to the demo timer expiring on the first corner of the second lap of CSR5.
I'm expecting a longer demo than that, and will be very keen to see if it does contain a not-yet-included classic GT car/track/UI and/or the cracking good music of Isamu Ohira and Jason Page.

I am reasonably sure that it won't purely be that, but that it will include some aspect of that or be primarily inspired by that:
It'll almost certainly be GT7-based. I think that as "tracks" is plural, we'll be looking at a couple (or three) of rebuilt-for-GT7 original GT1 tracks, and probably enough cars from GT7 to make a 16-car grid (with up to half of the grid repeated) in each of the original game's Arcade Mode clases - probably comprising some cars close to those that could be found in the original and some from more recent titles, possibly maxing out at Gr.3 (the Castrol Tom's Supra is almost a sure-thing) but maybe the X2019 will be shoehorned in as well.
Which does cover why there's a Countach from a game that launched over a decade after the original being used as the featured car. It wasn't in the original, but you could sure shove it into an A Class race with the Gentleman's Agreement cars that were.

I think I could assemble a list to accommodate all of the above with three tracks and... I think 48 cars from GT7 - maybe a little less if they go for 12-car grids - and six to 15 races.
That'd all be about the size of the free GT5 Prologue demo, which is more or less what I'm expecting - although I have no inside information.
I do hope they put any new races we don't have in GT7 back into GT7, though the lack of conversion from Special Events in the Weekly Challenges does not fill me with hope.

I wonder, if they add all-new tracks to the demo, if they will be added to the full GT7 sometime.
I’m only guessing because of this:
Could be as simple as PD mixing up the cars we have available when the servers are down to choose for trial play.

Bereft?
The privilege and expectations that have come from the mind-blowing scope of modern games sure has turned some people into insatiable sad-sacks.
Sorry you ignore online play and other aspects of the game and need thousands of hours of single-player content to break even on your $60 purchase.
You'll be in my prayers.

1) Ok. Still a lot of content for the investment.
2) It isn't a primarily online game, but online content makes for fresh gaming options in perpetuity.
3) Compared with 4 it is lacking in number of races, compared to all the others not so much. Let's not forget best-in-business photorealistic models and tracks, a deep physics model that previous entries can't even come close to (even though it still needs work), VR support etc. etc..
The shortcomings are more than made up for in other areas. And if you're lacking in the races you desire, you have myriad options to make your own through custom races.
And let's not forget that we're in a thread about a free demo with more content... for free.
You're more than welcome to be sad about it though.

There are so many ways to do so, and successfully by paying attention and being aware. They can either entice folks who are older and likely are racing IRL at track events and make it compelling enough to spend their much more valuable time giving it a shot, likely with venues they drive and translates to IRL, or they entice women, who really get tired of the cultish toxicity of the boy nonsense, which they seem oblivious to, as they often are, or they entice RPG players like forza tried to do with car leveling, and find that is just not how you entice RPG folks with such absurdity, but levels for achievements and progress, we'll let the car collecting leveling slide for now. Or they can entice with story, like the cafe menus scratched the surface on, but others like NFS and even FH have done well with. Seems those put in designer roles lack the experience to know of the past few decades successes and failures and where there are opportunities and where there are already tried and failed road blocks. There are many avenues to include that will entice folks for a myriad of reasons and plenty of examples of how to do it. League building tools and interfaces in game and a website for player created series would go a LONG LONG way. A good track editor entices creative folks of all ages and genders but aren't into grinding economic morass or high stakes racing requiring high precision for long periods of time. These and many more are all sympatico to the growth of community, players, usage, and enjoyment - but clearly history repeats itself in poor ways for those who remain ignorant.

I would not be surprised if this is made mostly to show off PS5/PS5 Pro capabilities. Like how Astro's Playroom shows off what the Dualsense can do

Sony made a ton of money off of releasing TLOU/Horizon/God of War/Uncharted/Spider-Man on PC. GT isn't as big an IP as those 5 nowadays, but there's probably still some money in it for them.
The hangup is PD have no PC porting experience, and Sony's lesson from TLOU Part I is that porting isn't trivial even for the best developers. So you'd get them to make a smaller vertical slice first to learn the ropes... which is exactly what this looks like. So it smells suspicious.
I'd go as far as to say if this doesn't go to PC, then GT is the exception to Sony's porting policy and is staying exclusive. Because if it was getting ported, you'd put this demo there.
