Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[queleuleu]

Why not both? Besides GT already had collaboration with Mercedes before back in GT5, so this quite obvious. Still, this is great news to have with.



Nah, I don't think so. Unlike Peugeot, I guess Merc enough with the current VGT (it got spot on Justice League btw, I think they happy with that). And seeing a collab with Lewis means this is related with Mercedes F1 team or perhaps the inclusion of AMG Project One hypercar in which Lewis had involved on it's development as well.

Probably some events in game presented by Lewis Hamilton (racing etiquette?). I don't know why but it seems that Mercedes is out of this collaboration.

They don't crash, but I'd say typically most racers will go will go a bit wide on at least one corner exit in a race (IRL). And typically unless they make a habit of it, there's no penalty at all.

I have no problem dealing with a penalty if it works for the system. You seem to have a problem dealing with any criticism of the system, and just treat any such as if it's coming from a whiner.



Well that's exactly what I'm saying, it's too harsh if it's an instant deduction, since there's a penalty for it anyway even without that.

Most importantly, it unbalances the system. Worst case: get punted from behind, lose SR, end up off track, lose more SR, and possibly get a (badly calculated) time penalty as well. All in one incident. While the punter continues with only one loss of SR.

SR calcs seemed pretty good towards the end of the beta, I don't understand why they reverted it.

The trouble for me is simple. When they removed SR drop for hitting the sides of the track I ended up racing against wall bangers all the time because they were not dropping down the SR ranks. I got so tired of it that I stopped playing the beta altogether.

The Hyper one is featured in the channel section of Mercedes. Omen, perhaps?

OK, I can understand that. To some extent I think the latter part of the beta was hampered by not having enough players, so when doing the match-making there was a larger spread of ratings in each race. With more players, it wouldn't matter much even if the 'average' player was SR=A, as long as there's enough S ratings to fill races. But yeah, the system's got to cover that case too. Perhaps a little off-track or brushing a wall just wipes your clean sector boost, but too far off-track or hitting a wall counts as a crash would work? Obviously it's all about how these things play out over time.

I want GT 7

 

[sems4arsenal]

That 30 lap Porsche challenge is one of the best in the series.

I like the AI in that race

That could be possible, but I guess it is more than that. Also, I'm not saying that this is related directly with the parent company, but likely more focus towards their AMG Petronas F1 team.

Yeah, they surprised me a lot.

Well, looks like this doesn't involved with any Mercedes division after all. Seems like Kaz met Lewis in person and try to negotiate. It works btw

Guess we had to say goodbye to Vettel then. His last appearance was in GT6 doing similiar things as what Lewis is going to be featured in GTS (Tbh I expected @Tom to give us an instruction around the track. Oh well... )

But it didn't mean that we are not getting new Mercedes car after all. Project One still possible considering Lewis have role in it's development. Or surprise F1 car. We have to wait...

Question: Do you think the Thrustmaster T-GT will have an advantage over the other wheels, such as providing a quicker lap time?

 

[GMHV8]

Thoroughly enjoyed my time with the demo. Scored some decent cars, earned some decent cash.

The days leading up to the full version's launch will be painful.

I hope the open lobbies feature 24 car races in the full game. Not sure why thats being restricted to sport mode.

 

[GT needs F1]

Has nobody noticed yet that the demo was supposed to be offline for nearly 3 hours. Not complaining about it though

 

[opelman]

There is new daily races.

Sport mode is on dedicated servers. The lobby is still P2P

Granturismo.com said 08:00 PT which was 55 minutes ago.

I said It's the end of the demo. I misread the post, I thought you said you didn't know that the beta ends today.

 

[GT needs F1]

On the belgian site www.gran-turismo.com/be-nl/ it says it ends at 15h, considering that it's almost 18h now where I live, that makes nearly 3 hours doesn't it.

 

[mustafur]

The track car combo changed for the sport races the moment it was supposed to end as well, wonder if they are keeping it on for another day or something.

 

[Kalder]

Has anyone else received the Gr. X Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo? What a crazy car, weird sound and unbelievably fast, reached over 400KM/h on Dragon Trail Seaside.. pretty sick... Do you keep the cars you receive in the beta in the actual game?

 

[bdj57]

Kaz already arrived at Saudi Gamers Day :

Would be great if they allowed you to rent servers. Would solve a myriad of problems

 

[jaj_fox]

In PS Store. Say the demo for PS PLUS Users is up until day 17.

Completely agree. It feels like a proper race where strategy and where you are on the road really matters.
