We don't need better shaders or resolution, they have to change how tracks are done IMO. The Tokyo track could be played at 4k/60fps with HDR, the dull/lifeless scenery won't change. The third person camera is boring, too stiff. No 360deg view for our car like in every games today. No option for blur and so on... I don't even talk about collisions.Why not both?
I mean, they're close to 60fps now, so extra visual sexness must be easy
edit: also, PS4 Pro version at TGS?
We've seen them running around 50 fps but that's without weather, time of day changes or damage so they haven't come close to fully stressing the game in public yet. Adding in those three elements could easily take the framerate down into the low 40's or even the 30's. That means that this 50 fps in relatively easy conditions really needs to be closer to 80-90 fps in order to achieve the 60 fps in the most taxing situations. That could easily take up most or all of the Pro's capability. There may be optimization yet to be done but we don't know how much of a factor that is at this point.Why not both?

One aspect of pc gaming that you don't usually see on consoles, is how easy it is to affect framerates by changing game settings and how much those settings affect your enjoyment of the game vs. the tradeoff in framerates. In AC for example, you can turn World Detail up or down and it greatly affects framerates. Running solo it doesn't matter since you usually get uber high frame rates anyway but in a large field or online it can. For me, seeing individual blades of grass while running at 250 km/h isn't a top priority so when I go online I turn down world detail for the frame rates. IMO, GTSport, and other games, would be best served by having a switch of sorts for VR mode, that turns down graphics in favour of framerates so that the majority of players who don't have VR headsets, can enjoy more eye candy, or, instead, can use VR mode to ensure a rock solid 60fps at all times. At the same time, not using VR mode could have more eye candy but might dip below 60fps in the most stressful situations. Rain, huge fields etc.
I did mention optimization above but we have no idea where PD was with optimization. For all we know, since they were planning on releasing the game in two months, they could have been well into the optimization process with the most recent builds and still found game performance lacking.
Get used to it. Seems like this is the way consoles are going to go.
I think it's inevitable that some form of separation between the two consoles will emerge. Devs will be chomping at the bit to use hat extra power to make their game as good as it possibly can be. And with Scorpio next year Xbox devs are going to be put in the same position. Really interesting times for the consoles.
So people who pay money to have a better product can't see a visible result of their purchase because others have not made the same purchase?

You may as well say "no don't get a ps4 and gt sport because some people can't have either".

Better late than never
My point is not that we should be expecting any huge difference, and as you say, something like vehicle physics cannot be different if they are to run together online. I was questioning the notion of nothing at all being able to differ between two consoles of varying capabilities. Admittedly he did not actually say that exactly, but this:
confirmed my suspicion.

Thats why there shouldnt have been a same generation split like this in the firstplace.
Was it really an issue, though? The games I play are still plenty fun.
