Thanks for the reply man. Enjoy your racing.

Unfortunately I don't play many other sims, but the sounds while a big improvement on previous GT games I don't think are quite up on par with other sims. They are quite good regardless.
The physics are definitely a step up from GT6. The cars, although they feel heavier, are more sensitive to certain actions. When I was driving a bone-stock Audi TTS, the back was always ready to overtake the front during heavy braking.
Audi TTS '14, Mercedes SLS AMG Gr. 4, Chevrolet Corvette Gr. 4, Chevrolet Corvette Gr. 3. You can see the specs of the cars with the default settings IIRC.

Oh that's a relief! Thought I'd have to fake Schizophrenia for the rest of my days here.
Before you say that my crude joke that went over your head was bad, think about what you wrote to us. You basically said we can't take this guy seriously, undermining everything he has ever written or what he ever writes in future.

Glad to see more codes are going out! If I ever get one I would love to start a thread just on GTS physics discussion.
I have a PS4 pro and PS+
I have a G29,T300,G27,G25 & DFGT that I can report back on as to if any work and how correct they feel.
I have spent massive time with assetto corsa using both the G29 and T300 on the PS4.
I have 15 years of both sim racing (including all GT titles) and real car racing, and a very strong physics background. Physics issues in sims are painfully obvious to me with all the competing in real cars every weekend during the season.
On a side note, assetto corsa has extremely real/correct physics and FFB, especially with a T300. I half wonder if AC is the reason GTS was delayed last Fall, since the delay was announced right after AC was released on PS4 (coincidence?)
I would love to report on the physics and FFB but I don't have a code...

Watching streams of GT Sport as I wait in anticipation of getting into the beta has been MINDBLOWING. Thankyou Marvin and everyone else streaming the beta. With everything Ive seen. . . I feel like a kid again. The kid that saw that Team Oreca Viper zip around Special Stage Route 5 in 2001's ad and literally had his mouth open in awe. I NEVER thought GT Sport could do this to me, not with anything I saw before the beta. Again, thankyou guys.

Seriously though, Been working some crazy hours the last few days and your streams kept me going. Thanks Marv! 👍

Played a lot tonight, T300. Hate Willow Springs, always have. I could see getting addicted to chasing the driver rating and rank. That system sure keeps the competition tight. It's good stuff.
I'm not loving the physics, cars feel disconnected and insensitive compared to AC. Not a scathing critique, mind you. General driving principles all seem to apply as usual but man I forgot how forgiving GT was. I have 5 cars, and they all seem to feel the way I'd expect.
I'll sleep on it, see if I can summarize my thoughts better then.

Looking forward to your reviews of all the wheels. Im GIMXing a DFGT so I want to hear how it goes. Its really good on AC hoping for same if not better on GTS
First thing I'll say is that the game is FUN. Maybe it's just the new game feeling or the anticipation - but whatever the reason - the game is FUN. My BIG 3 categories for the game are Physics, AI and Graphics.
I received 3 cars - Mitsubishi Lancer, Hyundai Genesis Gen. 3 and Hyundai Genesis Gen. 4. Physics are the most improved aspect of the game over GT6: Handling is sublime, you can really feel the weight difference between classed, the weight of the car in turns, the sense of speed, acceleration and braking. I love flying full speed into a corner (against better judgement), slamming on the brakes at the last second, hearing and feeling the car backfire, and accelerating out of the corner just in time to miss the grass or bumper.
I have never been a huge Tuner, so I did not attempt to tune any of the cars. In addition, I played with no braking or steering assist.
The AI: I played 5 or 6 races on Intermediate in Arcade mode against the AI. In intermediate mode the Grid position I started in was 12th every time. I feel like the AI is slightly improved over GT6. The "rabbit" leading the pack was not always present, as 4-5 cars jockeyed for 1st place in a few of the races. And in viewing the replays, I did see cars behind me did in fact spin out on occasion. But Grid racing is sooooo much better than Rolling Starts. I hope PD keeps Grid racing as the default or at least an option.
The graphics are the least impressive aspect of my BIG 3. They are improved over GT6, but only slightly IMO. Still, the graphics are good, just not GREAT. Mind you, I am playing on a 50" 1080p 240Hz tv, no HDR and no PS4 pro. I am curious as to what the game would look like in 4k with a PS4 pro. I felt like I noticed jaggies along the roofline of the car, but at the same time there were little touches (lighting, air balloons, slightly improved crowds) that brought life to the graphics that have not previously existed. Also, when I spun out out on the dirt I noticed (in the replay) a guy on the sidelines waving a yellow flag. Nice.
Online is something I care about least of all, but I did get one game in on Sport Mode, and again I do not have PS Plus. I was disappointed that I did not receive a "sportsman grade" or something like that to assess my driving style, but other than that, online was fun. Hopefully PD assigns rewards or incentives to clean racers.

I'm not sure what all is allowed in the sport mode (online.) TC and ABS at least, of course.
I only tried TC and ABS. ABS I usually run if it's available. TC... yikes. Set at 1 it's really intrusive. Not much different at 5. In GT6 I would set it to 1 or 2 for standing starts, helps with launch and then turn it off. It practically stalls the car in GTS, won't be using it.
SRF appears to have been replaced with "driving assists" which either brake for you or brake and steer for you. I didn't realize it was on at first and thought all my technology was hacked.

SRF is not quite gone but you cant use them in Sport mode. SRF was replaced with Braking and Steering Assist. TCS can be adjusted mid race so you can crank it up or down as you please (much more realistic tbh). For ABS, it seems that leaving it at default gives it sort of a natural abs mode...in other words if the car has an abs system installed it'll activate.
Edit: @Fredzy it appears you beat me to it by 1 second lol
