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

[PsuPepperoni]

From the stream I'm watching, their solution to engine sounds is to mute them so all you can hear is gear whine

 

[hankolerd]

that means if some chimp crashes me, i loose points??? how stupid is that? so the cleanest driver ever would never get a better ranking when every race he get hit by some morons?

As a fast driver, you are responsible to work around slow drivers without hitting them. As a slow driver, you are responsible to stay out of the way of faster drivers. If two cars make contact than both drivers are at fault (except in extreme circumstances like someone purposefully re-entering a hot track without a proper gap in traffic).

With the driver rating system, if you consistently race clean you will not be paired with a poor driver that is likely to bump you unfairly. You would have to have a terrible string of unlucky events for your driver rating to drop back to an E rating due to accidents that were all someone else's fault.

EDIT: And I suspect that minor bumps in close racing will not be penalized.

I think one of them was Gr.3 IIRC.

I'm talking about the stock variants as shown above though. The Gr.3 GTI has an additional front splitter, canards, and a visible roll cage, while the Gr.B GTI Supersport has light pods and a different front splitter.

The first online event is going to start in 8 mins. Let me know if you see me on that other guys stream in the race

 

[KevinHeryanto]

3 minutes left

 

[Fabr_123]

There's a guy streaming for those who are interested:

Online races coming!

 

[Leohjames2014]

It's happening now.

 

[KevinHeryanto]

Hey leoh is there!

 

[ArR29]

Anyone have youtube link of the race? I can't use twitch on mobile unfortunately

 

[FoRiZon]

First off, can you get infractions in GTP for sharing the streams or video of the beta? I know it can get you in trouble on PSN. But GTP has always been close to PD and Sony.

Second, anyone please share the menu OST. Reminds me of when @Shirakko posts GT6 musics.

Trying to get into beta to put up some high quality music for everyone's ears, no luck yet sadly.

And that typo of my name happens too often, damn haha.

 

[Leohjames2014]

Hey leoh is there!

What stream were you watching?
What is their PSN?

 

[nhraracer]

Sorry guys. Just got home from work and tired. If we haven't received a invite is it still possible to receive one?

 

[KevinHeryanto]

I'm not kind of person who remember names very well

Also you get the beta?

Nope, I'm in the UK, someone would have to share the Beta in order for the recording to start.
Share play doesn't work for Europeans, just tested.

Quite curious to see the soundtrack list, hopefully that is included in the Beta, I loved the option to disable certain songs in GT6, avoided the feeling of "Oh god, not this song again".

 

[diesel97]

But will be need psn plus? Because I made 5 USA accounts and get 14 free psn plus day needs credit card

Thank you for giving us American less chances

If they don't take their NDA seriously and don't want future beta permissions then yes.

This crap is EXACTLY why I wanted in and NOT all these ungrateful NDA violating kids.

PD take a look at this. This is what you did. I hope you all are proud of yourselves with whom you chose. You chose a bunch of ungrateful NDA violators. Not proper fans like me.

Is there a NDA? You sound like you know

 

[05XR8]

Two questions:

1. Is the Gr.4 GT-R, rwd?

2. It's been mentioned cars can be unlocked. Are all cars(all 140+) shown in the car list?

 

[Ameer67]

Oh crap, just noticed @BLKJ Evolution is in the race on the stream. @Leohjames2014, you're racing against a GT Academy finalist!

 

[silverman_GT]

You can now freely rotate the third person camera in GT Sport. Took them long enough

 

[gregorius93]

it's time to spend my money for PS4 Pro

 

[diesel97]

That dude said some messed up stuff. I hope he isn't on this site anymore tbh

why

 

[miata13B]

Fisrt I didn't say is impossible to control the car that way (you can control a car with your elbow too) and no, both styles are not use widely. The thumbs on the wheel while racing style simply doesn't exist. You are admiting "due to ergonomics of human hands it is most comfortable to wrap your thumb around the wheel". Thumbs through the wheel is better: more safe and more comfortable. The GT sport way is incredible unnatural and not seen in racing at all.

Before I pipe in, you are saying that you are wrapping your thumbs around the wheel correct? Or are you saying you keep your thumbs along the rim.

While both methods are used by professionals and Sim racers, I have my thumbs along the wheel rim not wrapped around it.

I do perfectly fine being able to precisely maneuver my race car on track with this technique or style or whatever you want to call it. I have always used the thumb along the rim back when I was Karting when I was young.

The main reason I race this way is because I have to use my hands daily in order to make money. If I got into an incident wrapping my thumbs around the wheel could possible lead to me breaking them which I could not afford to do.

It is not 'if I ever get into an incident' it is more 'when I get into an incident'! No driver is perfect and there will come a time an incident will occur and the driver will have a mishap in an accident.

I am not saying you are wrong or the others are wrong either. What I am leading into is that as long as your not white knuckling the wheel whatever is comfortable is the way you should hold the wheel.

If you are white knuckling the wheel however, you will not have full control of the car no matter what you think.

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.

PD needs more than "fast train" "slow train" AI

lets hope that works!

Whoa, I was keeping up with a GT Academy Finalist? I raced him in the very first session and was right on his butt the whole time. He was either teasing me or just warming up lol.

I guess I was screwed from the start then I didn't do too hot anyways

 

[Fredzy]

Can't wait to hear from someone with experience in Assetto Corsa, what FFB is like.

I'm liking the idea of mileage based unlocks of cars. As long as it works out to getting whatever cars I want to drive in a reasonable amount of time. I have no interest in grinding.
