Funny, the guy streaming on twitch earlier had his connection to the server cut, and then while I was watching the stream it was taken down while I was watching. Now it won't load.
 
Advan sticker on the windshield :) I hope that confirms that we can add decals in all windows! This way we can tint them using 25 or 50% opacity decals! Or this lol View attachment 1117843
Looks like I may have to put some eyeballs on the rear windshield, it's an instant protection against rammers

The overall vibe of the game looks good with the amount of cars and what can be done to them. Maybe the AI gets refreshed with the patch.
I like the business of the couple circuits I saw. High Speed Ring has all the track surface markings Big Willow was missing in the Tesla video.
 
'Select from Garage', finally the ability to select AI from home garage, just wonder after selecting that option what screen pops up next & how the individual AI are picked.
This should be perfect for setting up races with specific cars & liverys.
I think the garage screen pops up like it does in Scapes mode.

On one hand, its annoyingly not the real GT4 car again. On the other, everyone can have this car now without the survey.
First car I’m buying, when I unlock Brand Central. Then, the New Z. If I score the CSL and 240 ZG in the UCD, I’ll grab that. After those, hoping to save the rest of my pre-order Cr for tuning parts. Going to try and match the Aqua, Fit & Demio, to the Gr.4 Swift.
 
For anyone confused about the twitch stream being taken down, he is still streaming now so maybe it was an error.
 
Rain inside cockpit is pretty good looking. Im not sure if this is the heaviest rain possible but this was the first track that I've unlocked with rain I believe.
There is some weird artifacting right behind the car that you can see happening in the chase cam view

Edit: I think there is also a veeery tiny amount of hydroplaning (on the puddles), for whoever it was asking earlier.

Spoiler alert. Just found this in a very short clip. It appears to be one of the missing track layouts. You have been warned.

There is a new version of the East layout of Lago Maggiore, that uses the shortcut from the West layout to by-pass the pit straight entirely, rejoining at T3 on the full circuit.
First instance of PD using a pit-less layout in a GT game on a road circuit in recent memory. I recall George V Paris having no pit lane. Did Maggiore get modified? EDIT: Yes.

Brings hope for additional layouts from other real world circuits that don't have pit lanes in their configuration. EDIT: Now there's no hope hahaha.

Also,
Kinda disappointed the Z they chose to model is the North American one, with LHD and no Fairlady Z branding. It's like the LC 500 situation. Seems odd.

I finally unlocked the Brand Central. Looking through some of the cars, for example the Porsche Carrera GT and LaFerrari has a note on it that says "An invitation is required to purchase this car" which is kind of curious. I presume you will only be able to buy the cars when you complete some of the World Circuit races or maybe the Cafe Menu missions.

Nice touch. Reminds me of Lord March's invitation to Goodwood.
 
That Maggiore East pit exit is going to be a nightmare. Not sure why they didn't just put it on the straight before it.

Anyway, watched the 3h twitch stream, at 2x speed, with lots of skips :lol:

Intro video is pretty dull. They didn't use the BMTH remix, and the footage doesn't match the music like in previous GTs. Feels like a fanmade intro tbh. The old NSX still has the same bodykit as the one in GT5-6. I know it's only an intro but PD has traditionally never failed in this first impression. This is the first GT intro I watched that didn't give me any goosebumps :indiff:

Not many surprises in the car list since we already knew most of them. Swift Gr.4 is the highlight for me :lol: Good to see Genesis Gr.3/4 make it in day 1. Still could be some surprises hiding in UCD/BA but I doubt it.

Some cars in UCD have a "limited stock" sign. Not sure if there is actually a limit to how many times you can buy them in game (which would suck if you miss one and it never comes back).

Daily roulette now includes credits in addition to cars.

Everything else looks basically just like a reskinned GTS. Not a fan of them grouping GT League by track instead of by championship. Also this probably means multi race championships (and the big end credit bonuses) are not in. Prize cars handed very liberally, but not sure if you can sell them.

Most interesting for me is the engine tuning menu:
ECU has a power % which is separate from the power restrictor. % Maybe we can adjust the engine power/torque profile like in NFSU2?
Ballast positioning is back.
Options to change steering angle, 4WS system, rear steering angle.
NA tuning expanded massively - bore up, stroke up, engine balance, port polish, high lift cam shaft, titanium connecting rods/pistons, racing crank shaft, high compression pistons :drool:
Weight reduction now up to 5 stages.

Now wait for those lucky people to progress to unlock more stuff :lol:

The pit entry is different. Goes up a crest.

The game is still online for you? It seems like most people who where streaming have been taken offline, so I guess they've just been blacklisted from the server.

Could you check out a detail of a car for me?
