I was disappointed with the closed beta because the T300RS was not setup properly and it would reset itself any time you tried to fix it.

It feels great now in the demo so I'll go ahead and pick up the game
 
FTO super touring car from GT4?
Close! The Lancer Evo TC from GT5. :)

Too lazy to finish it now.. Might start from scratch later. I need ideas on what could look good on it. And isn’t too complex.
Wish I got other cars... this Lancer is the only decent one I got. :lol:
 
Is anyone else suddenly unable to access the server? I try to reconnect and a warning message instantly pops up, but it's not about maintenance.
 
The racing in Sport Mode is much better than I expected - yes, there are idiots who do stupid things like brake-checking, extreme blocking and punting, but most of the drivers were quite good. One guy held me up in a Nissan GTR on Lake Maggiore and I ended up going off the track because I put the power down too early (I'm driving a Group 4 Viper) trying to get past. Funnily enough, he crashes at the banked harpin and I managed to get 4th place back. But the GTR's just dominated the race, taking the top 2 spots - I was one of two guys able to mix it up with them. It was kinda like how the R32 GTR dominated Group A!

In another race with Porsche 911 GT3 RS's on Blue Moon Bay, I was pushed and shoved all over the track, putting the power down too early and just making a total mess of it. One guy was being really stupid, using some EXTREME blocking to make sure I didn't get past. He quite literally moved over to the left hand side of the track, almost pushing me into the wall. I didn't get past him, because his blocking forced me to go offline for the first turn, and I lost a lot of momentum. Managed 12th I think, barely behind the guy who pushed my wide. He appeared again in the next race; Group 4 at Nurburgring GP. Surprisingly, I had a great race - squabbling with him in a Bugatti Veyron Group 4 and another fella in a Group 4 NSX. I was in a 650S Group 4, and set the fastest lap of the race, faster than my qualifying time. Weirdly, I came second to my rival - that Veyron is too fast in a straight line. But the intensity was unlike anything I've ever experienced in a GT game. I made a pass for second on the inside of the NSX, but I almost screwed it up because he went offline and tried to come back onto the correct line - nearly cutting me off in the process. So I gave him a little bump, unsettling the car and picking up the throttle quite late. I stayed on the track and gave chase to the Veyron, but the NSX was still applying the pressure. What made things difficult was that I didn't know what the guy in the Veyron was going to do - after his blocking tactics from the previous race, I was to scared to launch a divebomb attack on him. I came out of the last corner on the last lap really quickly but no overtake. I was right on the Veyron's arse across the line. I wasn't that upset because the race was one of the best I've ever had. Full stop.
 
According to Live From PlayStation someone is streaming the full GT Sport game on Twitch now.

I don't know how but currently it's showing a replay of a Viper at Dragon Trail, maybe it's just old game footage?

Edit- The stream is down now, but I think it was new footage because Arcade Mode had all of the tracks.

Notice the "Stufe: 12" in the right hand corner? That's German for content locked to player level 12 or above.

On https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/ Piky94 claims to have been able to play the full game for 7 hours until PD turned the servers off.

Given the above screenshot this comment appears to be trustworthy:

"FYI, you can't Play the campaign, when the Server is offline. You can only Play the Arcade Mode. Some Tracks have a lvl cap. You can Drive nordschleife when you reached lvl 20."

Locking the Nordschleife behind game progress? That can't be serious.
 
Honestly yes, I have a PS4 standard and a Sony 4K HDR TV. It has a lot of input lag so I usually always set it to 'game' mode which really reduces the image quality.

I didn't have any intention of playing in HDR but I tried it just to test it. I only realised just how much of a difference it makes when I set it back to SDR and felt like I couldn't see anything (in comparison). The details and colours are so much more vivid I'll never be able to play this game in SDR imo.

For some reason, HDR in Project Cars 2 wasn't necessary for me, but it is a whole different level in GT Sport. And oddly, I couldn't notice any input lag from my TV, whereas I felt like in PCARS2 it was bad enough to ruin my lap times, so I had to turn it off and set it to game mode.. you can't have 'game' and 'HDR' on my TV, and there's been no downsides to HDR on GT Sport. It's really amazing.
Thank you for the reply! :cheers:
Of course none of my TV supports HDR... Damn...
 
From reddit :
-"Does it have other weather effect besides sun/rain?"
-"sadly just time change :("

Now, we need to talk Poly. IMO, if true, it's almost dishonest.

it's completely ******** if we don't have rain in GT! They did it for GT5, and it was beautiful, so why did they not implement this feature in GTSport! But Kaz spoke of fog, and we havn't seen anything yet...
So I still have a little hope.. Day 1 patch ?
