Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

Car reviews mean nothing when you're talking about having one in a video game.

 

[GTV0819]

If it has wheels it can be raced. Seems to be a rather contentious point that is lost among many that play this game.

He probably thinks their cars are just commercial vehicles.

Yeah but I'd be ashamed to drive it. Just like I'm ashamed to drive the RCF. In fact, I've never driven it by choice.

Any Infiniti that is just a rebadged Nissan I would rather have as a Nissan.

The M45 has the V8 from the Q45 and the Nissan Cedric has a 6-cylinder.

What's the shame in driving an RC F? It's a modern V8 auto coupe.

Ugly, heavy, slower that it's competition, etc. Take an M4 over it any day.

 

[GTPorsche]

Does slower really matter all that much when you're driving to specific speed limits on a daily basis?

In the video game world, things can be done to overcome disadvantages.

 

[GTV0819]

In racing, speed matters all of the time, I suppose.

The M45 has the V8 from the Q45 and the Nissan Cedric has a 6-cylinder.

I wasn't referring to those. The cars I had in mind were the Nissan Skyline 350GT and Infiniti G35 from GT6. The differences between them were marginal, if I remember correctly.

 

[Suzumiya]

I just wish we actually had a proper open wheel ladder...

Just expect your beloved Infinitis.

Very true.

 

[05XR8]

Speaking on reviews, I thought about this Best Motoring video I had years ago. Testing, racing and comments on the early Z34. Mostly about the term "Sports car".

I wasn't referring to those. The cars I had in mind were the Nissan Skyline 350GT and Infiniti G35 from GT6. The differences between them were marginal, if I remember correctly.

Yeah. As far as I remember, main differences were steering wheel location, badges and some trim.

So much for the idea that February was gonna be when we see the first update of 2020.

The 400hp Q50 Red Sport begs to differ. Don't criticize cars you haven't driven.

You actually drove it? It looks more sporty and more agile than my bro's caravan, i'll give you that

Yes, I have.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I don't understand the hate towards the Infiniti brand. It's what Lexus is to Toyota, or Acura to Honda. More refined, luxurious, and sometimes sportier versions of the same model.

Also, Infiniti doesn't have a bad track record like Hyundai or Kia in the early 90s to 2000s that forever ruined their image. Eg., you have to justify driving a Hyundai Genesis because it's always met with the age-old "...but it's a Hyundai, and will always be a Hyundai" sentiment. Which is also why Hyundai doesn't only manufacture cars.

Are there better brands out there than Infiniti? Yes. In fact their own sister brand is better. What does that change in the context of GT Sport? Nothing.

If I can drive a Samba bus in a game marketed for eSports and FIA racing, why shouldn't I be able to drive something like a G37?

Anyone knows what ABS are top drivers using ? ABS weak or ABS default ?

 

[Fatal1ty93RUS]

Pretty sure top drivers don't use any driving assists period

ABS OFF ? I don't think so, you can see the ABS icon activated in theirs lap replays, but there's no difference between the icon when abs is default and when abs is weak.

ABS default. With the way ABS and braking is modeled in the game, it's a disadvantage to run ABS on weak or off.

 

[DivitLad]

Dunno if me but trying the tourist layout of nords I have too get through the
gates to get back on track to the bridge before it completes a lap, Is that right? thought the end of lap on tourist layout was before getting too the gates again

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh they do.

 

[GTV0819]

You're sure?

 

[Darla Starch]

Debate on assist usage and where the cutoff of TR00 driver is at when using them?

 

[TonyJZX]

We've had this discussion before....

Top race drivers in GT Sport AND in real life use the typical assists you see if your day to day road car.

 

[Barters81]

I’m not a top driver by any means, I use ABS default. Reasoning? Most GT cars have ABS as far as I’m aware.

No assists in F1 of course.

Which update was it that dummied down the difficulty of the Driving Challenges to almost non-existent? If it occurred long ago, then it appears I missed it. For example, the checkpoint time rallies at Tokyo Expressway with the GT-R and at Fisherman's Ranch with the Lancer Gr.B Rally Car give you zero penalties anymore for making any kind of mistakes, hitting the wall, charging into other cars, et cetera...

A friend of mine challenged me to beat his high score in both of these challenges, only to watch the replays he published (due to him getting a rather high score on both challenges) and observing that he was abusing wall-riding and using other cars on the course as turning/braking assists. A shame, because I really enjoyed these challenges, but the actual difficulty behind them seems to have all but vanished.

Hey so how does someone up their Driver Rating? I've gotten my Sportsmanship rating to S but Driver Rating has been sitting at D for months
