Ive noticed in the last few days the prize cars for daily marathon thing are all repeats. Have i exhausted the pool of cars in the Beta? Just wondered if anyone else who has completed it every day was experiancing the same.
 
Why am I always stuck with these types of 🤬 racers?!?


Wow! That dude straight up threw you off the track. How the hell did he survive that? It didn't even slow him down, from what I can see.

Ok...For this example, what ended up happening to player ratings. Did both players lose some safety rating? drivers rating?

Aisian closed beta rollout got announced on may 19th source: granturismo.co/jp
Wait. Japan is just getting to participate in the beta now? I would have thought they were the first to participate.

I'd be curious to know that as well. If running someone off the track is considered just a single contact, it's possible to do this, , run the rest of the race clean and in the lead and raise your SR at the same time. It'll likely always be this way.
 
August release window seems like what PD is aiming for witch isn't bad either it would not make sense for 4th quarter tho too many games will drop and rip my wallet in advance
:lol:

Yep thats right ! As soon you've got all the cars you get the same again haha :D
 
For those who have the EU Beta, does the language change on the ps4 system? If so then can you try changing your language to Japanese, Russian and Arabic and then post the results with an image? Because no matter the language set to my ps4, the US Beta stays in English no matter what.

Please don't ask me why. :P
Anyone?? :indiff:
 
Yeah, I stand by it. Gamers can be very entitled. You guys care more than me about features and whatnot, that's cool, I just like driving games, however they come. I'll buy some (most lol), and not others. Unless you pre-order, there's no stress.

They're complicated to make, and corners get cut sometimes, and some random bit of PR is not a 'promise' of any kind, it's just an intention to do something. The restaurant analogy is a bit wonky too. I'll just check out the restaurant and see if they get my money or not.

Getting annoyed about how PD compare to other devs, or their own PR is a bit too stressy in my humble opinion. You're entitled to be annoyed, of course. All good.

I'll just enjoy the games I decide to buy.
i disagree. nascar racing 2003 wasnt very complicated to make and it is still one the best for game driving feel .

Nothing new, just the beta review. I find the conclusion interesting :

"It's going to need to do a better job of communicating its strengths, too, at a time when Project Cars 2 will be delivering a more generous package and Microsoft will be placing an amped-up Forza Motorsport 7 at the frontline of its push with Scorpio. This isn't the extensive, all-encompassing driving simulator that Gran Turismo once was, and in direct comparison there's every chance that this will fall short of its competitors in many key areas. Gran Turismo Sport is a very different type of driving game, though, and I can't help but feel that could turn out to be a very good thing indeed."

I can't believe it's about GT, once the biggest AAA of Sony. No problem with the honest review, simply it confirms that GT is seen today like an alternative or even an underdog.
 
Larger player base, more accessible to casuals, Livery Editor, better visuals, better soundtrack, GTAcademy, FIA championships, I could go on. (Some of those are speculation but educated ones).

Yeah it will certainly have some historical advantages, and maybe some new ones.

Good EG writeup btw, very positive but with reservations. The guy clearly loves his racing and it's good to read his description of the feel of GT being a very good thing, regardless of its absolute accuracy.

Exciting year for driving games!

I agree, I like GT for all these extra features, all the useless cutscenes like the wind tunnel or the designer house. I wasn't ironic. I actually like GT more for these features than the racing.

Nice setup for testing GTSport :
 
I don't get the last line, how could it turn out to be a good thing when Pcars2 will offer the same as GTS but more?
The big key is to appeal to the casuals who make up the majority of racing game players. Witness the recent introduction of public lobbies in Assetto Corsa, a game I think many of us would agree is more on the sim or hardcore side (higher learning curve, less controller friendly, no game economy etc. ) and online is flooded with cruise/drift/drag lobbies just like Gran Turismo 6 was when I was playing. Simplistic and relatively easy driving, controller optimization, expansive photomodes etc. make GTSport accessible and versatile for all ages. If one is looking for a deep simulation, on many levels, this probably isn't the game for them.
 
Scapes, Brand Central, cutscenes and nice menus.

Ok, however how can it turn out to be a good thing if it falls short 0f it's competitive in many areas? Better graphics, UI, photoscapes no real offline etc are not going to sway me ( from a perspective of an object consumer who doesn't care about the brand ) in favour of Pcars2? For now accessibility is not a question if I'm fresh to the genre.

If I've never looked at a racing game before, and I now look at everything Pcars2 has to offer, and everything GTS has to offer. How does GTS sway me? ( better graphics is completely debatable). So I'm curious how being behind could turn out for the better ?

You are only one consumer. We're talking about the general appeal of the game with in this genre.

If you're that rare sort of person that's never looked at any racing games, ever, you may have a point. But outside of that, GT has the name recognition few games have. It's probably not quite at the level of Kleenex ubiquity in terms of brand association with a particular product, but it's not hard to imagine more casual folks recognize its name over Project CARS, and that's even accounting for the fact it's had almost zero presence this generation.
