Most Users in Beta look like they have PlayStation Plus Activated as well. So I might get a 3 Month Sub In hope of getting Added.
 
Alright, thanks!

Yup no problem!

Hey everyone! I just created my account, no profile pic (to haunt your dreams) yet and literally no profile whatsoever yet. I know this is probably not the place to introduce myself but I just wanted to say hi. I hope to get to know a lot of you, learn from you guys, and answer any questions that pop up. I'm off to my stream now, and I'll check back in here a little later.

P.S. I think I have fixed the display area now.

Hi Marvin, I wanted to ask if you would be ok if I auto hosted you on twitch when I'm not streaming?

Welcome @marvthegamer to :gtpflag:

Your GTS videos have provided much needed sustenance whilst I don't have a PS4 yet :lol:, so cheers for that. Plus I think you've done an awesome job in giving feedback and being consistent with your videos too, so top work 👍

Welcome! Thank you for showing me how the camera behaves when controlling it with the right stick.
 
Hey guys,
The black outline in my streams seems to still be there, I don't know if it got better since I changed the display area settings on my ps4. I'll have to check once my last stream has finished processing. It looks perfect in my TV, so who knows what output setting I might be missing.

@SlimCharles and those asking about ps+, I don't know if it's required. I have PS+ since I got my PS4. The online races probably require it, but I don't think that everyone who got the beta invites are doing online races.

@Quarterbreed, I have twitch, but I'm only streaming GT Sport on youtube, but I'll be auto hosting you, if that's ok with you.

Maybe is not required, but being Sport a online focus game, probably is a very important point to get the beta. Thanks for answering!

Gosh, you are really haunting in my dreams! I mean literally! From now on I'm staying up all night watching your streams (it is about 12 am here when the stream started). By the way keep up the good work there Marvin! We always waiting for your next stream.
 
Got the invite code while I was away on vacation. Loaded it up today and so far so good. The content is very limited with only a few cars, arcade race and time trials on a single track (Brands Hatch GP). Hope to participate in the online features but they are available kind of late for me (10pm to 2am). Graphics are great like you should expect, game sounds are good with some new sounds like suspension clanking, menu music is nice, menu interfaces are slick.

I'm hoping for some more personalization to the HUD (or the MFD - Multi Function Display as it's referred in game) as it's a little busy for my tastes. No option to turn it off (yet?).

Just wish I had a PS4 compatible wheel to truly test the driving mechanics and physics thoroughly. Literally haven't played GT with a controller for more than a decade. With some practice I'm getting the hang of it after using a G27 and DFGT the past 5 years. Still, the car handling reminds me of past GT's from the PS2 era.

Cool new features are stewards along the track with flags. Haven't fully tested their authenticity but they are a nice touch.

There are more tire options than GT5 and 6, with the addition of 'super soft' compounds of each tire type (comfort, sport, and racing). Haven't tried them all yet.

That's about it for now. Looking forward to more testing.
 
Speaking of more codes.
Is the Signup still open or has they closed for the US again?

If it's still open is this just a random pick and choose run or Expanded Phase 1?
 

loooooool

I guess someone's playing now. :lol:

Hey Marvin: your tv is probably overscanning, so now that you fixed the Display Area the PS4 is actually underscanning in order to cancel the difference in pixel scaling.

Search in your TV settings the option that gives you 1:1 pixel mapping, then fix the PS4 display area again. Name of this TV option can be different from model to model (Full Pixel, Widescreen Full...)

It's important to fix because otherwise pixels aren't showed at their proper size, resulting in a worse image quality.
