GT Sport Closed Beta ver1.04 Released: New Tracks Coming, European Access Begins April 15

[torque99]

Which makes no sense afterall because they anyways have limited online race time, so why we cant drive arcade mode in the spare time ? Oh well...

Then deactivate it during online races that people are forced to race online. But the rest of the day it should be accesable... well lets see !

From what I read the races will run daily at the set times :-



"Beta racing schedule

Hosting of race events starting 15 April | 13:00 UTC / 14:00 BST / 15:00 CEST

During the weekend

Race Hours | 15:00-18:00 UTC / 16:00-19:00 BST / 17:00-20:00 CEST

During the weekdays

Race Hours | 17:00 – 20:00 UTC / 18:00-21:00 BST / 19:00-22:00 CEST

We look forward to seeing you all in the beta this weekend!"




You will be able to qualify your times in TT before the races (I can't see this being limited in time too much) so from Late Fri/Sat every day you should be at least be able to play a TT even if you miss the race or get on the new tracks available to try them out. They said they are giving the codes out now so everyone can download it and it was not all done on the sat etc and bear with them until the weekend 👍

p.s UTC = GMT

16:00 Weekdays? So if you finish work at 17:00 plus commute that isn't looking good at all.

Ahem Sony Europe! Finland is waiting!

I understand at our main fibre is going thru Sweden, but few emails shouldn't take so long time to travel thru Sweden..
Well.. My GIMX packet travels now fourth day from Amsterdam to Helsinki... Truly snail mail by "first class air".. LOL

guys if anyone have 2 acc with access, give me one pleeeease

That will be unlikely to happen. And no spamming! Just a heads up. It might be more than frowned upon.

From everything I have seen/heard, the codes are specific to the issues PSN. So even if someone had an "extra", it would not do you any good. Also, try and find your shift key.

Question? U all that have received a code do u have a Playstation 4 console? i haven't bought one yet. so i was wondering if it's something thats mandatory? in getting a code?

Let me answer your question: No, you do not need a ps4 to get a code. I myself do not own a ps4 (soon tho) and I signed up in the US phase of the beta and got the confirmation that I can participate and download the beta.

 

[huhobanut]

Anyone know if you need to have PlayStation + ...? mine ran out a few days ago ..!!!

 

[EDK]

You do not need to have it.

 

[huhobanut]

You do not need to have it.

Thanks ...

 

[dan.k]

Thanx for the clarification. just to wait then

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Just checked my emails, I had a Beta notification 8 hours ago, why have I spent all this time not knowing about it/playing‽

 

[sirjim73]

Because it also says that you are allowed to share footage of the game via Sony approved first party means (Like streaming via the Twitch app on the PS4) or using the share button to upload to youtube.

Thanks for this clarification. I think the terms were detailed after the initial screen. Have to say I remember the bit about not sharing information on game which was in first or second paragraph, but didn't notice anything about official ps4 means (e.g. Share button), being permitted, although I only had a brief time to look at it.

So you guys in EU who got an invite can download the beta but it won't let you go to Sport mode and run time trial laps right now?

 

[dr_slump]

I received the invitation a few hours ago, swiss account btw.

The GT website has been updated:

http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_4068634.html?t=gtsport

The Gran Turismo Sport Closed BETA Test currently being hosted in North America will now be expanded to the EU regions.

Simultaneously in the latest 1.04 Update, we have fixed certain issues and added improvements based on player feedback, as well as adding new content.

Continuing on from North America, we would like to invite Europe to the Gran Turismo Sport BETA Test. We hope you will take part and join us in the test.

The Gran Turismo Sport Closed BETA Test will be expanding its countries and areas of coverage while evaluating its server loads and stability. Later on, we are also planning to expand the Test to Asia and Japan.

p.s Are they not 17.00 to 20.00 weekdays? You should be able to get a quick race in each evening unless you work all hours 👍


Also don't forget while sitting watching replays in the menu press R1 button for different views and interior sound

 

[zebik]

I've received my invitation yesterday

 

[N3m3s1s83]

Does anybody know if there is the chance to download the beta Image (17 Gb for me) on a PC and then install on PS4 via an external drive? I know it may seems like a curious question, but where I live I can only rely on a mobile connection bundle (4G network, 10 Gb per month) so there is really no way at the time being for me to get access to the beta...struggling in doing this...

 

[giorgos21]

Exactly.PD knows better.We can use the beta only on race days and they expect from us to give feedback.Clever.

si all those guys with japanese flag were probably PD/SONY people

 

[KilzoneStrife]

I didnt receive one either...

I can understand that they expect us to give feedback, that is the whole point of the Beta.
But would have loved to have a go at a time train to get dialed in before the online races.

 

[Tyger]

So we are supposed to give constructive feedback on various aspects of the game, based off some non-matched online races at set times, rather than being able to run laps on our own? Come on Sony/PD, it wouldn't be like you giving us the whole game if we could just run timed laps outside of the race schedule, and you would get way way more comprehensive feedback. Well from me at least.

I just went through the "What's New" app. on my PS4.
And what do I find?
An endless list of all my British PSN driving buddies who "played Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Test Version for the first time".


Depression sets in.

Don't worry.They can't play it.

For you EU users, Im going to guess that the Sport time trial will open and start being available for use at some point before the first EU scheduled race. I think it has to be as your time trial time is your quali time for the races on that track, and determines grid position. Thats how the beta has worked so far.

So for us in the US, we always have access to Sport time trial mode for the various car type/track combo of the current available races, even though Arcade was removed.
