Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[DefNotJake]

So a dude called me the N-word today after he failed at divebombing me in a Monza open lobby, and left. How do I report him if he left the session before I could do so? I'm assuming reporting him on his PSN profile won't do anything, because they won't let you attach screenshots or videos. Would love to see this guy suspended if possible.

Been awhile since I reported anybody on PSN. Obviously, if someone does something that flagrant, screenshot it. It looks like the easy "players met" option is either gone or hidden well. One option is to try the Friends tab & scroll to the left for the option "played together". According to Sony, the best advice might be (next time) when it happens, use the options button to report it. It might screenshot it automatically, but I'm not sure. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/account/ps4-report-content-on-psn/

I don't think it matters if they stay in the lobby. Once the text gets posted in the lobby all you need to do is click on the text to report it.

Well, apparently you don't even need to report the text itself. I just found his profile on the website, and reported him that way. I later got a notification on my PS5 that said what I reported was found to be in breach of terms of service.

Happy it worked, but its still weird you can't use screenshots and video clips to report other players.

 

[NoStopN]

Yeah, racially insensitive language is a quick ticket off the server/network. I bet they didn't tell you if it was a time limit ban or permanent.

Do we have any reason why the Aston Martin Vulcan’s brakes are so terrible? For what it’s worth, I think the Vulcan should’ve been put in Gr.X, much like how other track-only models were eventually added to Gr.X via updates, like the McLaren P1 GTR and the Pagani Zonda R. Either that, or I would’ve created a class just for track-only models, like some sort of NS Series. (The “S” standing for “Sport.”) Or maybe it could just be called the S Series, haha.

But perhaps if this class really becomes a thing in a future title, I’d add the Lamborghini SCV12 and the Ferrari P80/C to it. And maybe even the McLaren Senna GTR, too, because why not? Even the Ferrari FXX-K could join in, too, as well as the older Ferrari FXX that was in GT6.

And the Porsche Carrera GT and 918 Spyder?

 

[MIE1992]

And the Porsche Carrera GT and 918 Spyder?

I’d just put those two in the N-Series, since they’re both road-legal. Besides, there are plenty of road-legal Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren models the Carrera GT and 918 could compete with within the N-Series, like the Lamborghini Veneno, the Ferrari LaFerrari, and the McLaren P1. (Whereas for that last model, the P1 GTR is track-only, but the regular P1 is indeed road-legal.)

Now, on the other hand, I would actually add the new Porsche 935 from 2019 to this new group, as that car is not road-legal. Otherwise, my list so far for this new group, meant for track-only cars, is as follows:

Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro
Aston Martin Vulcan
Ferrari 488 GT Modificata
Ferrari FXX
Ferrari FXX-K
Ferrari P80/C
Lamborghini SCV12 Essenza
McLaren P1 GTR
McLaren Senna GTR
Pagani Huayra R
Pagani Zonda R
Porsche 935 (2019)

Though personally, I’d be fine with just the new 935, the SCV12, and the P80/C being introduced to the series, with the P1 GTR, the Zonda R, and the Vulcan returning from GTS. (Plus the FXX could return from GT6, too.) But I do hope we get the Valkyrie in some form or another, as I hear the original Valkyrie is indeed road-legal. Similarly, I’m hoping for the Zonda F, as an N-Series model to compliment the Zonda R. I have the same sentiments on the McLaren P1.

Still, I wonder if the bad brakes on the Vulcan in GTS was potentially a
way of balancing a track-only car to be in the N-Series, whereas PD realized their “mistake” and decided to put other track-only cars into Gr.X for now, as I don’t recall the Zonda R nor P1 GTR being there at launch.

However, it also may be a good idea to keep these cars in Gr.X, as in GTS,
the P1 GTR can deploy DRS, so that could pose its own issues for balancing - let alone any other cars I had in mind that had similar technologies.

In that case, I suppose I’d like the track-only cars being kept to a minimum, between the P1 GTR, Vulcan, Zonda R, and FXX, as it’d be better to have more cars added if they can be added to a class, whether it’s returning from GTS like the N-Series or Gr.3, or a new class altogether, like a class I had in mind for vintage prototype racers such as the Ferrari 330 P4.

At any rate, I’m hoping that the Vulcan and FXX join Gr.X in GT7 if they return, rather than be in the N-Series where even in a better-case scenario, they might have an unfair advantage.

That's a good point. I forgot about the N1000 cars for a moment there. And that 935 would indeed be awesome!

 

[05XR8]

That 935 is a GT2 car. Ironically, it slots below GT3 and above GT4. There's an X-Bow GT2 as well, it races in the GTX class, in Super Taikyu. PD would place those in Gr.3.

Oh yeah. These damn groups can get confusing on GTS... Where would the Porsche 911 GT2 be placed? It's not actually a GT2 car in the same sense ... N600 GT2 car?

Speaking of the KTM GT2, it's a shame we don't get that one in the game - I've seen it in GT4 and GT3 races at Monza and it would make an awesome addition to the game. KTM might actually have a place in the game if they brought that into the usable realms of Gr.4 and Gr.3!

Those 911 GT2s have around 700hp. Probably the same as the Ruf, in N700.

It is odd for PD to have made an N-class road car through Gr.3 and certain models for Gr.B as well. Even though PD did make Gr.4 cars that debuted before the real life GT4 cars, something like the X-Bow Gr.4 & Gr.3, may not have been authorised by KTM. I obviously don't know, but we see how some cars are licenced and some not.

I suppose that's probably why we don't have the Alpine GT4 either - another shame. It would have been nice to have the A110 GT4, X-Bow GT4, and AMG GT4 - almost like real life then!

Yep. Seriously, unless the gtp crew can shed some insight as to how PD think which cars they want to build, we don't know the reasons why PD do what they do. PD give us 28 Gr.4 cars and we only need 10( https://european.gt4series.com/cars ).
Anyway, mainly for the GT7 forum, but it's possible we'll see those updated models in Gr.4.

This is kind of cool. Toyota South Africa combines WRC and GTS and calls it the Toyota Game Engine. At least I think that's what it means. The last sentence is confusing.

While the pandemic put the brakes on traditional sports, global esports and gaming saw an unprecedented and exponential rise in the last year and a half. Toyota South Africa established themselves as a force in the space in 2020 through their highly successful FIFA 21 and WRC 9 Toyota esports Challenges. This year, Toyota are going all in with the launch of their own purpose-built gaming platform - The Toyota Gaming Engine (TTGE) at TTGE.co.za.

looks pretty good, wish they had something like that here.

I think all these local events are a great sign. And hopefully they spread around the world.

 

[kirethk]

Good tips. There's nothing more satisfying to me than watching a failed dive attempt.

I feel like I'm seeing this more and more around my level (I've been at the same level for a long time). Used to see more contact/ victims, now I see about 50/50 where the diver misses due to the car in front being aware and ready.

Ultimately the faster a car is going into a braking zone the less lateral movement it can make, so I think in most cases there is an opportunity to outmaneuver the homing missile, in a way

Are these low-resolution interior textures exclusive to my base PS4 or do they also occur on PS4 Pro/PS5?

This is from my PS5, but a different camera angle.

It's kinda hard to see but it looks like there's no difference at all. Thanks for clearing this up.

Could this help you a bit?

I'm gonna try the Ford GT since that has 550HP. Finally got to Lvl30, now I can participate in the Endurance League but not until I finish the other Leagues. I take one step at a time.

Unfortunately, not. It's just some promo material for the Cayenne Turbo GT.
