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

No it's not, have you ever even driven a short wheel base car on track in anger, because it certainly doesn't sound like it.

The lock was applied far to late, far to little and with the throttle buried. That driving was never going to catch that, nor would it have in reality.

Once again it does not match your claimed situation and please confirm if this is even your video.

I don't agree with you.

No, it's not my video, I will give you a "better" one.

 

[Scaff]

I don't agree with you.

Don't agree with what part?

That it's not representative of your claim? It's at 100kmh, not 30, steering and throttle re both applied. It's nothing at all like you described.

As for not being realistic, a sudden lift midcorner at 60mph when a short wheelbase car is already cornering hard, compounded by a dab of brakes is going to get a car to swap ends. I don't care if you disagree with that, you don't get to pick how the physics of vehicle dynamics work (but i clearly know nothing about that, must have forgotten the stuff i used to train).

Nor is the failed correction unrealistic, it's too little too late.

Anyway I'm off to bed,

It's GT. One of Sony's biggest IPs.

It's going to sell.

It's a Blackberry. It's going to sell. Get it?

GTS is aimed at online racers. It is a not a guaranteed hit with anyone else.

I, for one, will not buy it because I know it's not for me (Solo player). (unless something is revealed that hasn't been shown before) That comes from someone who first bought GT second hand and discovered something great. I bought GT2 on day of release, despite owning a Dreamcast with a copy of Soul Caliber by then, GT2 looked terrible in comparison but I played it for 100's of hours. I bought a PS2 specifically for GT3. I sunk an amazing amount of time into it and GT4, I decided not to buy anymore consoles after that. That lasted as long as it took to find out a downloadable GTHD demo was available. I bought a PS3 the same day. I was very disappointed with GT5. Didn't stop me sinking 1357 hours into it, according to the 10 year anniversary email I got from Sony. I found GT6 to be such a complete load of rubbish that it cured me of my attachment to the GT franchise. It will be a long way back for the franchise to win me back - but it's not impossible. One great game and all will be forgiven.

So if someone who has been as intrenched as me isn't getting it - how many more don't care either? It'll sell yes, but don't be surprised if it sells badly and is discounted to south of £20 within a month or two.

Disconnected before race started. Gotta wait another 15 minutes

[nascarfan1400]

I can confirm rollovers are in the game

 

[GTRacer22]

Looks like the Japanese have been invited. They're taking over the leaderboards. Beginning of Phase 2???

Disconnected before race started. Gotta wait another 15 minutes

I had the same issue at Brand's Hatch first race of the 3 scheduled, then I quit. I did make it through 3 Tokyo races without incident though.

 

[Doodle]

I've tried to enter four races tonight, I disconnected from three of them. Oh well.

 

[RedlineRacer]

I just want to 🤬 race without getting disconnected...

 

[MMX]

Disconnected before race started. Gotta wait another 15 minutes

I've gotten that 4 times. Finally said to hell with it. I only made it into my first race, the rest I got disco'ed before the race started.

I got into the next race without any issues. Saw a stream where about half of the group got disconnected.

 

[fortbo]

What class are you guys in? I'm in D right now trying to get up to C

 

[Leadfoot530]

Biggest thing I can see right now with online races: people need better spacial awareness. Been ran off the track a few times by someone not knowing I was inside of them.

Hopefully that SR stat will fix that soon enough.

 

[Toyota GT1]

Well that's unfortunate ... didn't even get to warm up and I just got disconnected. I've got great wifi and minimal ping so it isnt from my end. Now all I have to look forward to is an oval tonight.. what a waste.

Better blind spot indicators may help out.*

*Not everyone will benefit though, as some folks are just a lost cause...

1st online race:
Start 1st. Punted into the sand turn 1 at Brands Hatch. Nice win mr_nascar

 

[trustjab]

I've not had much chance to try GTS, but played for a good few hours earlier today. My wheel is broke so I used a ds4, and going from GT6, ABS off is a lot more manageable. It's no longer instant lockup with default settings. Still hard for me and my 'heavy fingers' to modulate the brake though. I was able to get 50.10x on Brands Hatch short with the Scirocco GR.4 just trying it for the first time this afternoon. From what I see I'm about a half second off comparable fwd GR.4's. But I'm not using a wheel and tuning isn't my forte. So I was surprised to see I was only off by about a second from guys like @Wardez, I hope this bodes well for pad users who feel left out because the wheel is a lot quicker most of the time. Any suggestions on wheels? I don't know if used is a way to go but I'm all ears.

 

[JDMKING13]

Yeah but some guys friend said that AC physics are overrated so, I mean, he can't be wrong

I couldn't resist... If AC had a more complete online experience and more tracks on the console version it would be hard to use anything else. I agree that GT is certainly going in the right direction:tup:

So how often have they been changing out the online tracks in the beta? Would love to try the ring or one of the others that were available earlier.

You can actually drive on it now, and its amazing! I am really enjoying this game. I got dc from Tokyo because they swith it to Willow other than that I enjoyed some fun online races. They also updated Brands to the Ring now.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Having a hard time catching a few friends on Northern Isle. My thoughts:

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I can appreciate how accurate AC and other simulators can be when it comes to a realistic driving experience. They've come a long way in the last decade. But, for me personally, I don't enjoy them as much as the simplistic approach to driving. When I sit down after a long day in college, the last thing I want to do is become aggravated that I can't drive a car at a reasonably decent pace. Maybe I'm more of a "plug n' play" kind of guy. I simply don't have the time, nor patience to sit there and mess with a setup and learn the car, just to run a few laps of the Nurburgring in an online lobby.

Some guys are going to enjoy different styles. Bless those guys who can run in a pack on iRacing. God knows I couldn't!

Right there with you. I did the PC sim thing over a decade ago, and don't have the patience to have to deal with everything anymore.

I think everybody has a bunch of personal sliding scales, for any number of aspects of games they deem important. For some, a big car list. Others, physics. Maybe it's sounds, customization, online play options — the list is different for everyone, and the priorities given to each scale are also different.

Plus, you have some games that are better suited to different things. The Horizon and Motorsport titles from Forza are perhaps the best example: covering two sides of the same genre.

Perhaps where things get murky is when people present these personal preferences as facts. "I like GT because I find it fun" is a perfectly fine thing to say. "GT is fun so therefore has the best physics" is just... bizarre.

Or you have the folks that go on about how [insert game] is immensely fun, that they can lap for hours without getting bored, and that "you need to try it before you knock it". But someone can have that feeling with any game. Just admit it's because of the name on the box — no need to waffle on about some conveniently-impossible-to-name soul of the game.

I just hate the fact that nowadays, all it ever seems is that GT is in some sort of argument where "this is better, it's outdated, LOL vacuum cleaners." If people enjoy different things, more power to them!

Eh, it works the other way too ("lol GT is bestestest"). Though I do agree with that last sentiment, very strongly: I'd much rather play as many racing games as possible. The idea of playing only one is sad.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

I don't agree with you.

No, it's not my video, I will give you a "better" one.

Watched the video you linked.

The driver hit a bump, got his weight distro all messed up, and countersteered too late. Though, in this situation, staying in the throttle was the right move, as letting off would have put more weight on the front, which was not needed as the car was already spinning.

 

[RACECAR]

SO as I suspected, races are rotated every Thursday. Interesting schedule.

 

[dimassa19]

Hey @marvthegamer, I saw the smile on your face when Nurburgring come back today...

 

[bdj57]

@bdj57 Am I blind? can't see anything.

I still can't see it sorry.

Sorry for the late reply, here the image I already cropped :

Ohh? Has he been converted?

Any idea of when the rotation happens during the day? I was on, maybe an hour ago, and it was still on Brands Hatch. Can't wait to run the 'Ring again! Ran countless laps in trackday sessions on GT5 and GT6.

So it's more like the paint gets scraped off and the body/chassis remains intact, right? I mean I can barely call that damage, at least it's not melted wax so as Christopher Hitchens would've said It's a progress of a kind.

Seems to happen to each race one after another as soo as the entries for that race stop. I was doing Northern Isle and as soon as I came to the menu, there was Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit in its place.

 

[SkyArkz23]

Im somewhat excited for the Gr4 race (and no...it's not because im no longer stuck with the C7 corvette). I feel however that the SLS AMG might be the dominant one this week. the N300 race again favors the TTS unless the BOP has changed (highly doubt it...).

the gr3 race...is anyone's guess...
