It's completely baffling to me too how any body could down vote the graphics of GTS, they are so impressive.I just can't understand how any reviewer could possibly put the graphics of GT Sport in the negatives/cons of the game. Did they review it on an old CRT TV or what? On a 4k HDR screen this is possibly the best and most realistic looking car/racing game so far. Have they not seen Dragon Trail at dusk? That's just pure magic right there with the lighting and all.
But it is perfectly accurate. Its also a 60$ game with a hell of a lot less features than any other GT predecessor or competition.
Not so impressive if you been playing Forza DC and any of the other racers since this gen begun.
To me it's just a current gen game. No better no worse.

There's no context there, no explanation of why the graphics aren't good.

It's a definite 4/5 or 9/10 game, but I have a hunch that quite a lot of reviewers will go negative with negative clickbaity titles, mainly the usual suspects like IGN and GameSpot, it happens with every big title that doesn't spend on positive reviews and ad-space.
Also I'm being told from a contact at Square Enix who's well connected that IGN and Gamespot have pretty much decided in advance to go negative for clicks, of course, it is a rumour from a single person so it's probably wrong.

True. His comments on unbalanced cars are simply wrong. I was playing against the top guys in Europe (Gr.4) and the best time was from a Mazda Atenza, some Vipers, some GTRs, a Cayman, and other were using 4Cs and Lambos with the same pace as any other guy on track.
Gr.1 I saw top times with McLaren, Alpine and Audi R18 or Porsche 919. To be fair, the first 2 were a bit faster but that will also depend on the track (we were in tokyo). On a different track, other cars would have a slight advantage.
Regarding the EVO (n300 I guess), is also bollocks. But maybe it was just me who saw this...lol
edit: my english is really poor. Haven't slept for more than 6 hours in the last 3 days...lol And tomorrow I'm getting GT.

I don't really care about "professional" reviews, they stopped giving relevant information about a decade ago and have just become flame war bait. Most games you can decide if you want based off game play trailers and developer released info. But I do need help in this situation, so could anyone who owns and played the game give me advice, an no I don't give flying **** about how it compares to Forza, I don't even one a Xbox.
As someone who enjoyed racing offline more than online, is this a good game for me. I played all the GT from 3 onward so I know what GT is about but it seems like this is geared towards people who like to play online against other people. The car selection is kinda lacking for me and no I don't care about car count, I only use about 25 at most, just... no Ford GT, McLaren P1or other cars I want to see are missing, so now I'm already hesitate.

This, we should have learnt not to trust them the moment Driv3r got a 90% from PSM2... also, remember when IGN got it's XBox editor to review Gran Turismo?

So far my time with the betas and reading reviews i have come up with an idea quite few seem to miss. As Gt sport is aiming to introduce competitive racing to masses, it seem to be doing just that. The offline /arcade aimed to prepare for online racing, I think GTS might end up doing brilliantly just what it was meant to.. Move more people from offline to online.

Not the online focus, but the possible reason for all this online focus and why the offline part is the way it is.
Reviewing GTS as a usual driving game is like making a review of Lotus Elise as a daily driver..
Not that its not good for people to know it's not the usual GT game. But to also see the right angle.

I've been exclusively an offline player of racing games and the offline content in GTS is very robust and more than enough to keep me interested. This is my personal opinion, only you will know if it's enough for you. I can only advise you to do lot's of research if you are unsure. There is plenty of information out there about GTS offline to help you make up your mind.
For this title I will definitely venture online because I have high hopes this will become iRacing for the PS4. If not then I can happily continue on with the offline modes indefinitely.

Seems many review shout its online and if you like offline look elsewhere where they could just say "This might just be a way for one to experience the online racingin in more accessible form."

I watched the short Gamesradar review of GTS, how can they say that Forza is better than GTS in pretty much every area? whut so they played with a pad for like 5 mins and then they did the review? It is simply not possible for any game to be worse than forza7 with a wheel, just not possible

How does AI with some quite frankly blatant rubber-banding, a tendency to drive into you and two short videos prepare someone for on-line racing?
I had a race last night (Gr. 3 at one of the ovals) and half the field finished with penalties, some the equivalent to three laps or more and still finishing in the top half of the field (I just sat at the back and watched the chaos, increasing my safety rating for the whole race).
The concept is good, but right now the implementation of driving standards and penalties is deeply flawed, as its clearly better on a number of tracks to drive through everyone and get so far ahead that the penalties you get make no difference.
When only three of the top 14 have a clean race, and half of them have penalties that are the equivalent of a third of a lap, then you have a penalty system that isn;t working.

But it is rather more like false marketing if a game reviewer spew nonsense like that.FM7 is pretty decent with a wheel if you set it up right...
But yeah, if you buy a motorcycle and expect a car, you're going to be disappointed. Not the motorcycle's fault.
I can compare it to when motorcycle reviewers rave about how good the new Truiumph Thruxton R is, that it feels and handles like a modern bike with classical styling. Then you test it yourself and you realize that it is nothing like a modern bike as it is heavy, and slow steering when it gets technical.
How can it even be compared to a modern bike like street triple/MT09(fz09)/MVbrutale and co? This review seems exactly like such a scam:ish verdict from a review.

Well these guys didn't like the lack of single player.

Have you played GTS with a T300? From what I have gathered on these forums it is not even worth purchasing the game at this point if that is the wheel of your choice.I watched the short Gamesradar review of GTS, how can they say that Forza is better than GTS in pretty much every area? whut so they played with a pad for like 5 mins and then they did the review? It is simply not possible for any game to be worse than forza7 with a wheel, just not possible

Btw... I'm pretty sure a lot of the negative user reviews on metacritic are troll-reveiws like the ghost busters reboot.

You won't get a free pass today if the game lacks content . Cuphead and other indies are an exception but Players Unknown Battleground doesn't have good reviews for example because even if it is fun and sold well , it features only 1 map and it is not optimized well .
Am I the only one who thinks you should't review a game by what you hoped it would include? You wouldn't give Overwatch bad score because it doesn't have singleplayer, right, or because it has less heroes than LoL, DotA? The game should be reviewed for what it is, not what you expected it to be, even though you were told it's gonna be online focused racer. I understand that die hard fans of previous games might not like it, but as a reviewer, you shouldn't compare it that way. I have a feeling if the game was done by another studio under a different name, it would have much better score, because people wouldn't compare its quantity directly to past games. They would probably even say how is it a great first entry in new series, you know, like first Project cars got good scores. And in a way, it is new series. If Project Cars was called Gran Turismo 7, it would have gotten much worse ratings.

And had I been in the shoes of a gaming reviewer I'd most likely score the same or less.
Don't get me wrong, I love the look (picture quality) of the game and I have only seen video footage off Youtube (compressed?), but the complete lack of any "real" offline mode is disgusting in my mind. It's a slap in the face for people with limited or no internet. 👎
Online may well be the face of the future or the here and now, but why just limit it to that? Don't Sony or PD care about the minority?
My internet gets maybe 1.1Mbps on a GOOD day, now tell me how much fun I'm going to have trying to play this online.
