Do we know how people will be notified if they're in the Beta? I don't know if I should be waiting for an email or a PlayStation notification.

I've heard of both happening. So you will just need to keep an eye on your emails AND your PSN messages.

Careful watchout if you use gmail or another web based service. Some folks reported the emails showing up in their spam or advertisement folders.

The North America (mine) went straight to my PS4 notifications. Mine opened up a notification on my PS app on my phone the second it arrived on my PS4.

Fantastic news that us in Europe get to play the GTSport beta from Saturday unfortunately I won't be able to play it until Monday evening or Tuesday because of going away all weekend because of work.

From what I can gather, US players all got PS4 notifications. Those of us in other regions that were added a little bit later got one, the other, or both. Canadians got an email but no system notice (probably due to region limitations, which were fixed about 24H after the first Canucks reported gaining access).

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have and look forward to racing with you all soon. Really excited about the news of the updates. PD has done an outstanding job IMO so far and now with some of the player input changes coming into the new update....good times. See you all on the track!

I got a notification on my PS4 first, then a couple of hours later, an email.

I wonder how many got picked for the Beta in the US?

It's an exciting time to be a GT fan, with Porsche coming, those new tracks I like a lot and I like the fact that PD are listening to feedback from the beta and trying to correct the issues. Hopefully they adjust the sounds in this beta to and get a better balance between engine sound and gear whine in the cockpit, I also think they need to bring back the turbo spool effect from earlier builds.

Turbo spool, Eerm, what is that

May be he meant the effect of anti turbo-lag?

Is it me or do the cars sound better now after the update???

May I ask what improvements have you noticed?

I meant blow off sound not turbo spool sorry.

 

[Fabr_123]

Is it me or do the cars sound better now after the update???

Yes. Some changes I noticed:
- The Mclaren 650S GT3 sounds better in cockpit view now. Before, the transmission whine was way too loud. Now you can hear the engine very well.
- VW Vision GT and Peugeot Vision GT: I remember that these cars had two samples playing at once. They fixed that.

And there is many other improvements. It is a long list

The turbo sounds are back. However, it isn't loud enough IMO.

 

[Castrol96]

Perhaps you could win a Porsche? - It can be scene in the scapes.

 

[WAGNNERLOPEZ]

I'm from Brazil and received the notification on PlayStation 4 and then in Gmail in the "promotions" folder

 

[RaceBooth]

Will we still be able to stream?

I noticed that the blow-off valve sound has been slightly louder than in the previous version, but not as loud and as tasty-sounding as the early prototype builds. And besides that, they need more variety with blow-off valve sounds.

Shifting sounds will be the biggest deciding factor, if they fix it and make it just as good as the other racing games (e.g. Forza, Assetto Corsa, or even Race Room) then we're all in heaven. However, the sound of the Lotus Evora seems to be fake as I can hear a subtle supercharger whine although the Lotus Evora in the game isn't the supercharged one. The supercharged one is the Evora S from 2011. GT Sport has the standard one from 2009.

It is confirmed that the patch contains the new track, Saratoga Rally.

I've seen this demo come up a couple of times with road cars. Hopefully some rally cars will be available.

 

[torque99]

Is this an EU code?

 

[Lord Protector]

Is this an EU code?

well he is from Spain

 

[hobbsy]

For a brief second there @torque99 i thought you were downloading the beta...

Then i scrolled down...

I bet that pic was snapped weeks ago

 

[torque99]

I posted it as it was re-tweeted by GTplanet on twitter so I thought it was one of the first.

@hobbsy I wish ! Nothing yet in my inbox

 

[Paiky]

I hope my platinum trophy in GT6 and P15 in GT Academy Germany 2014 helps me to get a Beta-invite

just kidding, is there any criterium who invite PD and Sony to beta?

 

[Booney85]

I literally screamed with delight when I googled GTS this morning & saw the beta is coming to Europe..... is it sad that I'm 31 & this excited lol

 

[GBalao888]

It seems as if I can hear new blow-off valve sounds. This was tested in the Subaru WRX STI Gr. 3, Peugeot Vision GT Gr. 3, Toyota FT-1 Vision GT Gr. 3, Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision GT Gr. 3 and the BMW M6 GT3.

 

[vsfit]

Is it me or do the cars sound better now after the update???

They do! I noticed it immediately and started going through all 27 cars I have so far to make sure I was hearing the same things. Very distinct difference in the GR. 3&4 Vettes.

The transmission seems lower I can hear the motor a lot more!
