Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[PaMu1337]

From the official Gran Turismo website:


Are they expecting us to provide the commentary? The wording of some things on the website is confusing.

I think this is only for the larger events, such as the nations cup finals, with actual real commentary.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

Not really, no. iRacing has had a similar spectator mode for years, and the pro series is usually commentated.

The fancy graphics are cute (actually, they're brilliant, I really like them), but that's about it.



Apart from watching a commentated race on iRacing, you can also act as your friend's spotter, or join the race as a ghost.

Fair enough; I stand corrected. But it is really something that needs to be in more games.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

This is from this morning's build. Just got a confirmation at youtube. 👍

Looks like it's against the AI & it's still chase the rabbit

 

[Ameer67]

Aren't they referring to an e-sports broadcast?

Could be. But it's the wording that makes it seem like everyone/anyone can do it and not just the big FIA events and such.

 

[Tassie_tiger]

Aren't they referring to an e-sports broadcast?

That's my take on it too.

It is mentioned in the presentation when they talk about the monthly schedule.
Essentially they say that the 2 cup events scheduled for that weekend, the 'top online battles' will be shown and will have commentary.

Sure, it's a nice feature. But there's not that many racing games that get used as e-sports. The value to the developers isn't really there unless they're specifically pushing e-sport. And on consoles if they're not using a central server architecture it's just more stress on the P2P network.

If you look at other genres like MOBAs or RTSes where professional e-sports is more of a big thing, then you see that they have far more comprehensive spectator modes.

I'm impressed that Polyphony identified early that good streaming capabilities are key to a successful e-sport though. Some companies don't get it.

Either the Ferrari driver's feets to pedals reaction time is way slow or the AI... well, is that not fast? I gotta start training then.

 

[girabyt3]

Here's the new pace cars (AMG GT-S and M4 Coupe)!!

Would love to see the R34 Pace car as well, also, here's the booty of the mustang (better quality) and the Evo X as well (both confirmed as Gr.B cars)

And, for dessert, you will like this @Chameleon, a new Gr.B car! (Volkswagen GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo Gr.B Rally Car)

If that's the same @Aderrrm from GTP, he's a GTA level sim racer.

[ironman44321]

If that's the same @Aderrrm from GTP, he's a GTA level sim racer.

So, he's quite fast then?

I honestly didn't pay too much attention as to whether they were other players or AI, but if what you're saying is correct, and that is AI. Then it sounds like it would be a good improvement.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

That was you? I thought you were Kyle Patrick. Or did Matej write it and then send it to you for editing?

I'm the Editor-In-Chief. Articles don't get put up until I have a look at them (other than a few exceptions).

Ah, I see. 👍

He's very fast. How fast he can be in that environment with unfamiliar equipment I don't know but he looks very smooth and in control to me. I only watched snippets of the race but I suspect that level of AI will more than challenging for the majority of GT players. Most important for me is that their pace in the corners seems decent. Still not on the level pacewise of Assetto Corsa or Project Cars but it's still very good. Hopefully we get some first hand impressions from him later on.

Mike Caviezel is tied up and is in the trunk of GTR seemingly.

Damn that looks kick ass good!

 

[doblocruiser]

Great to put the employees in the spotlight 👍 Seriously, this really puts another view on PD. I can only appreciate a "human" gesture like that.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I wasn't commenting on the speed, I just noticed how they all follow the same line making it easy for the guy to pass them without much hassle & the fact that it still looks like a chase the rabbit setup again.
But unless we can get an answer from someone who is there to confirm this i'm just guessing.
However I hope they've ditched that form of racing.

Well then, I guess that might be good news! And yeah... I won't be nearly that fast and precise with my controller lol

 

[TayeezSA]

So no one drove the Scoob and got a snap of the sound and its glorious blow off noise?

Ok, it's like that then

 

[GTFan24]

400 Pages!!

 

[Grandea GTR]

Wonder how many pages we'll hit before the game comes out

 

[doblocruiser]

Probably 1000+

 

[Traviizter]

Nice intrigue

EDIT: Ok, it's fine now
Yep, we already saw 208 GTi yesterday

Blame this phone keyboard not me!

I don't know if dynamic time of day was already confirmed or denied, but at least different times of day appear to be in:

Nah same thing happened to the normal tracks in GT6. R246 would be a different time than Tsukuba or whatever

 

[mokalovesoulmat]

Slow news day or I am just impatient?...

But this is the same track I believe...

One says Willow Springs, the other says Nurburgring.
