Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[ScottPuss20]

With all these new tracks and the expanded beta, with thousands of people playing the game across the world, surely we are super close to release, no?

Unless they're going for a big showcase and surprise 'available now!' announcement at E3.

Also, never driven Interlagos in any game - super happy about that one!

(@ApexDrift123 i don't have one!)

We should be but you know PD. I'm hoping for a June release, however I probably shouldn't hold my breath... Hopefully it comes out on my birthday (August 18)

 

[GT Sport]

I really wish these video's would be put in the video thread instead of log jamming the non-video threads

Yes you are right. My fault I'm sorry.

Look up the meaning of "argument": it doesn't have to mean a heated exchange.

What you've just described is a very different thing than the suggestion Sony was the party that decided which system the game was set for.



Which is it, then?



It's a bit like saying Chevy should be concerned that it's never been able to take the sales crown from Ford's F-150 in over three decades, even though the combined Silverado and Sierra sales are higher. T10/Microsoft have taken a different approach to Sony/PD's, that's all.



There's really no contest in Gr.4 right now, much like N300 with the Evo. You really do have to be ham-fisted to muck up the GT-R, which not only benefits the aliens, but even the casuals. The Mustang Gr.4, with stock settings, will kick its tail out in constant-radius third-gear corners with little to no warning.

I do wonder how BoP will translate to the entire track lineup in the full game. FM6 uses a similar system to previous GTs (PI vs PP), and there are certain styles of car tuning that are better suited to specific tracks. The front-drivers in N300 tend to have the edge in top speed terms, I've found. Perhaps that's why we're seeing so many fantasy circuits...

What on earth do you mean?
How many times and in how many different ways do you want me to say it.
It's "irrelevant", of "no importance", of "little consequence", to me.

The other quote of one sentence from a multiple post discussion you show is completely out of context.
It follows from a response to my previous post which said
"Also, one game trying to beat 5 games total.
Seems unlikely to me, but who knows.
But some suggest it could, and yourself suggest it's not out of the question.
I mean, 5 games cumulative total sales vs. 1.
Considering those 2 franchises are meant to be the closest competitors, kind of a crazy discussion really.
And if GT falls short, is it something PD should be concerned with, or should the spotlight be put on the Forza franchise?"

It in no way is refering to my opinion regarding me as a consumer being influenced by business structures.


I think I've made my view point crystal clear.
And I have no idea why you can't accept that.
Either way, I'm moving on.

Glad the races are back up!

 

[unrealnoise]

I think the "race entry in progress" is on a very wrong place. https://goo.gl/hYsYXj

Agreed. Make sure you report it in the official beta forum.

Ok, but I need a link. It's what I'm got in the email didn't work. I wrote details of my account and the next step: nothing happened. Not sign in... i don't see nothing. The site is not loading.

If you can't get a link, you can go directly to the forums through the beta itself.

This may be a stupid question, is their a cycle for the prize cars, cause I'm only getting Group N. cars. Are their certain days that they release group 4 and 3 cars as prize cars, or is it completely luck of the draw?

Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason

Wow, wish I could trade situations with you.

I have more Gr.3 cars than I am ever going to use.

It's completely random. I've already got 9 Gr.3 cars but only 2 N300.

 

[Johnnypenso]

It's completely random. I've already got 9 Gr.3 cars but only 2 N300.

Those results look like the opposite of random. Random would be a spread of cars from different classes, not 9 from one class out of 11 received.

It looks like the opposite of random but we can't say anything with a number that low. I guess there are more gr.3 cars than N300, thus the 9 gr.3.

Not really, in your way of thinking if you flip a coin 10x 5 would be heads and 5 would be tails but in the random world in could be 8/2 split or a 0/10, 10/0 or any combo, aka ping pong lotto

 

[TRGTspecialist]

If it is random, then it's quite likely that some people won't get a good spread of cars - that's the nature of randomness. One person's results don't prove anything either way.

Just because it's random doesn't mean I'll get the same quantity of cars for each class. It means every car has a chance to show up, regardless of its class.
I always put my music in my phone to play randomly, and some songs show up more than others.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I don't think is any more random than your start cars. I'd say the software reads something unique in your PS4 and generates a list based on that.

Random means the odds of getting 9 in one class, 2 in a other and none of the rest is statisically nearly impossible.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Not when the list of possible prizes includes far more of one group than the other.

 

[trustjab]

I'm liking the new race choices but N300 is getting old with the cheaters and Lancer domination. Sure wish PD would bump up the power to N400 so we can get some more powerful street cars.

Interestingly Steve Jobs changed the original iPod shuffle algorithm, which was originally truly random, because people thought it wasn't random! He made it so that songs from the same artist or same album very rarely appeared one after the other. So by making the shuffle less random people thought it was truly random!

 

[TRGTspecialist]

.......for any given person. Which is not the same as the chances of it occuring at all.

It's statistically nearly impossible for any individual to win the lottery, yet it happens fairly frequently. This doesn't somehow make the lottery not random.

 

[Lukanyon]

I got 5 Gr.4 cars as well. And if all I had got so far were Gr.3 cars it wouldn't make it less random than it is.

 

[Outspacer]

I don't think is any more random than your start cars. I'd say the software reads something unique in your PS4 and generates a list based on that.

I reckon that too.

I can say that I got all 36 of the cars before getting any duplicates. Then the first duplicate was the same as the first reward car (R8), the second was the same as one of my starting cars (GTR Schultz). Then I stopped my world tour

All the cars were listed here:

Youve got 9 Gr 3 cars... can I get some plz!

I think I'm up to 12 or 13 now.

Basically he changed from a simple random system to a systematic random system:

IIRC, there is no such thing as random in coding.

@AudiMan2011 Forza is on an entirely different platform so they won't be affecting each other. PCARS 2 is targeting the hardcore sim racers, and hardcore sim racers will more than likely buy both.

@diesel97 Forza Horizon 3 is bundled like crazy and it keeps tracking in the UK chart. It has impressive legs and GTSport will in my opinion be the same. Heck, GT6 sold its fair share of copies last year on a dead platform.

I'm really not seeing evidence as to whatever reason a "sales decline" is happening.

if you think only hardcore will buy pcars2 you have not been keeping up. they have said the same as gtsport. they are going to make it more fair with controllers vs wheels
