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

[SSQES]

I noticed a few unconfirmed cars.

Mustang and GTR Group 4. You saw more?

 

[Fredzy]

So better sounds, livery editor, no standard cars, and I noticed a hood view. Well, every improvement seems to be checked off imo. Well, except for the AI.

The AI is definitely standard GT AI. I get that. GT AI is probably a decent part of why GT is popular. People like to win. But if they're serious about getting lots of people online, they need to bridge that gap somehow. Get people used to what real competition is like. And to the idea that you don't HAVE to win to have an awesome race.

They didn't bother changing the ****** exterior chase cam since GT4.

Not necessarily. Any racing instructor I have worked with always says you want your grip on the wheel as loose as possible without losing control. Very fast drivers can control the car with just their fingertips. Obviously every car has a different power steering system (if any), and different steering ratios, so some cars do need to be 'muscled' around a bit. In my own racing experience, I find it is hard to focus on keeping a light grip when you have cars all around you, but I did find once you sit back and relax and loosen your grip is when you start setting your faster lap times.

absolutely love the hands animations. looks great!

Well yeah, that's why PD needs to make the AI more competitive. They can have an easy difficulty option for sure, but have harder AI options for more experience players. Making the AI too easy would alienate part of their customer base.

No. That's wrong. I have never seen any racing driver with the hands like that. If you loose the back, you wont have the grip necessary in your hands to get the control of the car.

Marvin come back! MARVIN!!! Yeah he's gone.

It sounds so much better. I would like to hear stone other cars when switching to their onboard in a Replay if possible. The UI is the usual GT slickness too.

Quite impressed so far but the real test comes with how it feels on track.

Of course, can't really ask "Marvin" about FFB or the feel of the car and track, unfortunately he's using DS4.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Seeing the driver pretty much take their hand from the wheel to change gear with the paddle looked off though.

Considering he thought he was driving without Assists he probably thought he was using a wheel! I should not be mean and I am delighted he streamed so soon.

Not Again!

 

[TetsuKobura]

Hopefully there is a stream of someone using a WHEEL and not a controller soon.

He's most like the vast majority of people that will play the game. So in that way, he's an ideal beta tester.

He didn't even sign up, which was the weirdest part.

 

[porschedrifter]

[Castrol96]

[Saidur_Ali]

Sounds soo much better. Hopefully there are still more improvements to come.

The Marvin's stream is officially over or it is being cut because it got banned?

 

[PinKPanther]

He left on his own.

I so hoped the chasecam of GT3 would make a return. It has by far been my favorite.

 

[Lord Protector]

I would do 100 laps if it was the only option

 

[DonZonda]

Same here or at least a second chasecam option that would be the ideal solution

 

[bdj57]

He left on his own.

Oh, okay I'm worried for him try to stream the beta in public. Hopefully he still able to play it next time.

Quick question, is the GT SPORT Closed Beta under NDA?
Does anyone have a source for the NDA information?

Much appreciated and good luck with the invitations everyone!
