Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[PhaedrusSocrate]

Good marketing is not hiding things like that, especialy behind some marketing double talk bs, imo. I'm glad they were open like this!

This was more like taking of bandaid, just do it quickly and deal with it openly. Hope they continue only like that 👍

"In order to ensure fair racing for all, GT Sport will require an internet connection for the majority of functionality."

Right or wrong, this is not something we want to read. Simply bad marketing.

Expected really. Servers need to store the SR and DR somehow. I'm intrigued about the portions of Arcade mode sentence. What portions require being online?

In terms of content maybe but I don't think it's the final version (gold) yet.

It's pretty much only 1 month out. They're likely so close to going to going gold that much wouldn't change.

Yet there is still a lot of things hidden that we don't know about. It's not good marketing, it's good PR though.

No ABS Off even in expert level.

Edit:ignore this post!

 

[sems4arsenal]

@super_gt As it should be. Most wheels have bad brake pedals (let alone the controllers) so forcing no ABS would be a bad move.

Seeing as how that would be cutting out a majority of gamers who aren't plugged into Sony's paywall online system, it's more like losing both legs and an arm rather than putting on a band-aid.

Even GT3 (unlike GTE) cars have ABS IRL, you want it to be more difficult?

I assume this is the settings for racing the AI. If so, it's as it should be...in an arcade game. For sim racers all options should be available somewhere. Hopefully there is the ability to make your own individual settings somewhere.

It's interesting how quickly some people just accept what is essentially an online-only approach — even if they've raged at other games for doing the same thing. I wonder why that is.

Remember, those difficulty settings are just quick selections upon start-up: you can then go into the settings and fine-tune. So yes, you can turn off ABS.

Actually, many players start to understand there won't be a career mode in GTSport and they all sound disappointed. I think Poly underestimate the negative impact of online focus.



I bet that GTSport will flop (for a GT; not just a racing game).

There will an option of course. I'm talking about forcing ABS off being a good thing.

Where is that? can't see it in the link.

An open beta would be great news mind.

Pretty much at the end of the article.

Oh I'm blind . Thanks buddy.

So with this new beta can we give feedback as what we had in previous closed beta? Or is it different?

You'd likely still be able to give feedback. However, with the next phase set to release in the coming weeks, and the game also set to release in the coming weeks, I doubt anything will be changed in time for release.

Alright, thanks. Hopefully with this new beta PD can add more stuff and features post release, probably a bit refinement through update patches.

 

[HellzFire]

No mention of the beta on the us blog.

European exclusive this time?

 

[sems4arsenal]

One very odd thing is the line about playing offline on Select tracks. Surely they won't lock a track when playing offline.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but I think PD should get right on it.........stat.

On that arcade only version yesterday there wasnt an ,,custom race“ option anymore under the arcade tag, not even a greyed out one (as seen on that live video)

I asked that guy before i saw the video what the ,,custom race“ option can do but i only refered to set your own rules for online lobbies

Hope its just removed in that version but fear there wont be custom races with AI

 

[TayeezSA]

The only things that will impress me now are if I see a proper Career mode and the other tidbits that let you know you're playing a GT game.

It lacks many options in Arcade mode. I think it's just the build version, without all the modes available.

We all knew it was coming mate.

Why would GT Sport be a prehistoric game ?
Having internet functionnality is the 'standard' nowadays, for GTS: ranking (friend/world/nation), community wall ( like scape, sharing) , livery ( if you want to import, you take from the net for logos), streaming brand central videos.
Internet functionnality is a bonus, some can't work without connection.
It's not like the game prevent you to play any mode.

Don't mix online functionality with online only functions. I don't think you driver lvl and Sp will update while being offline. As I read it will be the same with unlocking cars(as was in the beta)- when you are not online you wont get the reward for daily workout...
I dont mind even always online games its just that one day when they switch off the servers the game will be dead.

I don't mix, when you do time trial you can have ranking, and it s not an online mode. The community wall part of your profile, doesn't prevent you to see your profile, video manifacturers ( who mostly like streamed videos) doesn't prevent you to go to Brand central to buy cars or showroom, same goes for livery but its not really a online functionnality ( i put it when i want to say that you have access to internet if you go grab the logos on the net)
Your daily reward is an online functionnality but it s not prevent you to play the mode.
You can still unlock car with campaign mode ( a bonus like the daily reward) Otherwhise you buy the car on the dealership.

Yes that s the case with the majority of the game now, without updates, we returned to a 'beta' phase when the server is close like you say if we go back yeats later.
