Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[GTPorsche]

I'm a little disappointed that GT Sport will not include dynamic weather and day/night cycle.

Had to sacrifice something to get a solid 60fps @ 1080p that is required for VR.

And to be honest, they probably have to rebuild the weather system anyway.

Why the gran turismo 6 cars not coming to gran turismo sport?

 

[jpbonadio]

That's the difference between a compressed youtube video and high quality, uncompressed footage.

It's not this. Compression will introduce artefacts not aliasing. Also, the direct feed video came from youtube too. It just shows how different the builds are in all these videos.

It gives me hope of the final game having a good image quality, because the high bitrate direct feed video that was uploaded to gamersyde, despite having a much better image quality than GT6, still has a lot of aliasing.

Only a little disappointed?

There will be dynamic weather and day/night cycle.

I'm sure

@Samus no career mode thread is going down well on GAF

 

[zzz_pt]

That's one thing I didn't quite get actually...
Why have a racetrack scape?

To set up racing shots with specific cars in a specific positioning.

^ this

As someone who spent hundreads of hours in photomode I can say it's pretty annoying to try and make the AI drive and postion themselves as I had imagined. Having the option to set everything up is a lot more fun and easy.

We're not sure what this is though. I think it's a Scape because of the background looking so real.

No @Samus, i am not against...

I'm looking forward to see how the weather look in GT Sport

I was wrong.

In your life, you're never wrong ?

Vague question. Elaborate please.

 

[dimassa19]

^ this might be a Scape, @dimassa19

I do not think so.

Oh dear. I remember trying to organize a shot in GT4 with every generation of Z car, in order. It took something like four hours of ramming and brake-checking!

Having an option to stage something like that on a track would be handy. Letting us pick our opponents in Arcade Mode would be too, of course.

 

[GBalao888]

It really doesn't matter if GT Sport doesn't have dynamic time and weather, as long as it has its newly-developed physics and sound, as well as the fact that if it has some really hot rides, good tracks and awesome gameplay (the Arcade/Free Play mode is one of the modes that can determine that), then it's fine with me.

 

[Samus]

That is a scape. Just like this is, taken from the Scapes section of the website

You can tell by the quality of the track, no textures are that good or detailed in game.

Absolutely, I was more curious how you were so sure it was going to be included but now it's not you're only a little disappointed it isn't. Personally I'd be very disappointed if something I was certain to be included wasn't.

But wouldn't this create huge discrepancies between photos taken in replay mode on the actual race tracks, and these fake photo scapes with better detail...?

(if the scapes match the tracklist, of course)

It will, but that is seemingly what they're doing. The comparison shots between scape and in-game should certainly be interesting!

Outraged comparison thread incoming!

 

[Laffinassasin]

Isn't it more than that though? The Scapes are real life photos that you place the GT models in, right? I can see the in-game, replay and Scape track comparisons already!

There is so much confusion with the Scapes/in-game/replay graphics I'm not sure what is what right now.

 

[Samus]

Ha, quite. Anyway changing subjects somewhat but since I was reminded about it in the master thread, are we going to speculate/discuss what the location/track list could look like?

19 locations and 27 layouts doesn't give a lot of scope for tracks with multiple layouts, only 8 extra over 1 per location. First of all though, the locations.

These are confirmed

1. Brands Hatch
2. Nurburgring
3. Willow Springs
4. Unnamed dirt track location
5. Northern Isle Speedway
6. Tokyo

Which obviously leaves 13.

This is what was in GT6, minus the 4 above known to return:

1. Fuji
2. Suzuka
3. Daytona
4. Tsukuba
5. Circuit de la Sarthe
6. Indianapolis
7. Monza
8. Laguna Seca
9. Spa
10. Motegi
11. Silverstone
12. Ascari
13. Goodwood
14. Bathurst
15. Red Bull Ring
16. High Speed Ring
17. Cape Ring
18. Autumn Ring
19. Deep Forest
20. Grand Valley
21. Eiger
22. Trial Mountain
23. Kart Space
24. Special Stage X
25. Apricot Hill
26. GT Arena
27. Matterhorn
28. Sierra
29. Mid-Field
30. London
31. Roma
32. Madrid
33. Cote d'Azur
34. SSR5
35. SSR7
36. Toscana
37. Chamonix

So the question is, which will make the cut? Personally, this would be my guess, based on their GT6 quality. In brackets is where I think the 27 variations will come from.

1. Suzuka (1)
   
2. Circuit de la Sarthe (1)
   
3. Monza (1)
   
4. Spa (1)
   
5. Silverstone (2)
   
6. Bathurst (1)
   
7. Red Bull Ring (1)
   
8. High Speed Ring (1)
   
9. Grand Valley (2)
   
10. Apricot Hill (1)
    
11. Mid-Field (1)
    
12. Tsukuba (1)
    
13. Autumn Ring (2)
    
14. Brands Hatch (2)
    
15. Nurburgring (2)
    
16. Willow Springs (2)
    
17. Unnamed dirt track location (2)
    
18. Northern Isle Speedway (1)
    
19. Tokyo (2)

I don't think R246 will return for Tokyo, I think it'll be two versions of the new track. Only thing I'm not really sure on is there being only one dirt location, they could add more, and perhaps Autumn Ring or Grand Valley will get cut.

What is worrying though is there really isn't any place for more new locations, or if there are, some big name old locations won't make the cut.

 

[Revoy]

Adding only one dirt location almost implies as though the rally aspect was merely an afterthought; something they decided to throw in there just to say they have it. However, I wouldn't like to think so considering the Group B concept cars PD threw into the mix, so I'd like to bet there will be another location thrown into the mix.

Bet most of the promo shots will be just that; track scapes. It's going to fool a lot of people thinking the game actually looks like this...

IMO that reeks of false advertising if they do not specify it for what it really is.

 

[syntex123]

Before it was hidden from public view, the Mazda MX-5 video showed the time on the dashboard display changing with each passing minute.

💡

So did the in-car clock in GT5P. It had the time synced to the XMB.

Static time.

Well, to be fair, all previous GT trailers and promo stuff has been a little bit crafty, if we're generous.

Also, there's no direct confirmation of these track shots as 'scapes', right?

I'm sure we'll get more info at E3 anyhow...

 

[syntex123]

You clearly see they are scapes though.

 

[doblocruiser]

@Samus I think there will be at least 5 or 6 new locations. In the interview at the CB they said that more never seen before locations would come to GT Sport (sorry I can't back that up since I got lost in all the info released).

Seattle is probably in and with the FIA connected I expect an overhaul of a few classics plus new race tracks. If La Sarthe makes it, it will probably have the Bugatti variant included since this version is used by FFSA for their French motorsport activities. It is why my guess as well is that Paul Ricard is going to make it in.

Bathurst probably isn't returning due to the more "European oriented" GT Sport.

18. Northern Isle Speedway (1)
    
19. Tokyo (2)

You could happily lose tracks 10-13 and whack some new ones in, no trouble, inc. another dirt track for sure.
Also, guaranteed: tracks as DLC, and probably ready to go at launch.

Just look at the grass . It's not even close to that detailed in-game.

And more scapey promo shots

You're right that they have been pulling these tricks before though, also in the sound department when they used real life recordings in their trailers in order to hide the 'Dysons'.

'Scapey'

Awesome. I hope that catches on.

I don't think they're even "scapey". They just look like pretty pictures that were nicked from Google Images.
