Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Coming March 17: First the US, Then EU Region

[Castrol96]

That's how betas work, you start with a closed one and re-adjust your servers accordingly.

Can you only play online with other or AI? - I never played a beta (I have no Idea)

 

[Ben Rogue]

This is big news, I only wish it actually meant something, since the last time we were supposed to get our hands on GT Sport we got an indefinite delay instead!

 

[AKps3]

Should have been an open beta. They should also have at least added another new track or 2 rather than give Brands Hatch, Big Willow and Tokyo Expressway again.

"Participants will be able to choose from a select rotation of cars and tracks each day to race online against others during the Beta phases. Track and car selections will vary during this period, and we made sure to offer different race class categories and course configurations to properly test our GT fans!"

 

[AKps3]

The title literally says for *US Players* and it's a "closed" beta.

So only a few people in the US will be able to play this.

Cool story Kaz.

phase 2 is also for EU

My body is ready

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Article title changed to better reflect the roll-out. Only phase one is US-only.

Could the trailer annonce the cars that will be playable during the Beta ?

We could see all different classes in the trailer and principally :
Gr1 (TS030),
Gr3 (SLS AMG GT3, Mustang Gr3, Alfa Romeo 4C Gr3),
Gr4 (AR 4C GT4),
Gr.B (Mustang Rally)

Because yes there is no reason to post another "remake" trailer that has be seen before ..

 

[Greatbee]

Awesome that I have US psn!

 

[Nico_Ble99]

I just hope the beta isn't online only and can be played in Single Player mode too. I don't really wanna spend money on PS+ for an account I'll only use once.

 

[dolande]

I'm not signing up so that others with more time can provide their feedback so i can get a better game when it finally releases.

Could be both but it's more likely to be online only.

I'm pretty sure it will be online only to stress test the server side.

 

[PorscheHD]

This was the big news? Its crap because its not for everybody....

Just give me Porsche and a release

Meh. Probably waiting for the second phase then.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Can't wait to see how this looks in 4K on my PS4 Pro and TV.

tfw you see the news and you're trying to make a US PSN asap

I just hope the beta isn't online only and can be played in Single Player mode too. I don't really wanna spend money on PS+ for an account I'll only use once.

IIRC, if you haven't bought PS+ on the account yet, you should be able to get the 2 week trial.

 

[KiroKai]

Come on, guys. It's not US only, it's US first.

America First.


I wonder if it'll strictly be online play too, wanna see Scapes.

 

[PorscheHD]

...Well, at least people will get to play it. So that's a good news.

Yeah SOME thats by far not everybody. I woult be more pleased with Porsche as the big news.... a closed beta for few en just US is just another letdown en what aboit a bete is 3months deleay? 2018 release?

"This beta test will allow us to identify issues which may be exploitable for competitive gain. For example, shortcuts, individual cars that are too fast for their class and erroneous penalties. Once identified, we will either do nothing to address the issues or make changes that exacerbate them."

 

[JamboGT]

To be fair it was explained why US was chosen as phase 1, after doing a beta in china while based in the U.K. I totally understand...

Also I think that video is the openzing cutscene for the beta?

 

[ArR29]

I don't understand that. You want an online focused game without testing the server at all? This is a good news, because PD might fix all issues and complaints before releasing the game. It is little too late, but better than nothing, lol.

 

[Jump_Ace]

I signed up with both my accounts. Don't tell Kaz!

It says "Opening Movie" so it is what you get as the beta intro. Finished game will have more variety of scenes, cars, tracks as we know in every GT opening.
And Daiki Kasho... if they use him again as the opening soundtrack

As the car selection, it is not depends on what car appeared in trailer. As a beta there is could be some hidden cars or content that is still in testing phase.

I agree with you but, why post a trailer that has be already seen 2 or 3 times ...
