Ok so, first time posting in here and I've yet to see quite literally everything there is to be about GT Sport but me personally, I am so absolutely HYPED!
Here's the thing about the complains on it though and for those of us that probably don't understand it, there's a lot to think about the game.
GT needs to have these kind of critiques. IT's no secret that it isn't perfect and by jove if there are things that even us newbs in terms of recognizing the faults can have some pretty obvious things to look at, like the AI for example. In a game series which always prided itself in racing simulation and for the first time ever is now DIRECTLY RUNNING IN TANDEM WITH THE FREAKING FIA (You know, that organization that gives us all the things the motorsport lovers love?), then yes it should be taken seriously! And especially over some of the little features that seem to be the achilles' heel in PD's massive GT foot. With a game that can be most certainly taken seriously and now in a franchise that has its own academy to race actual racers to race in actual IMPORTANT races? Even more so than we could ever ever hope for. Even considering the fact that there are things only veterans will probably notice than most.
...At the same time, there are things which are gonna be a little bit more complicated to objectively notice, like sound for example. Obviously a more trained ear will be able to spot most things but it's still a somewhat subjective thing to talk about since it's a human sense, and something that could relatively differ from person to person. As well as there's also the fact that, me personally at least, I always considered GT as the unrealistic realistic driving simulator. Having enough things on it that you could geniuely take the game seriously and take some of the things for the IRL world, but at the same time having some things on it that would make you think twice and notice that it could be more arcade in some places than most of us think (and at least on my case, that's partly why I love the game series so much).
All of us are gonna want something to come from GT Sport, and at least speaking from myself, I hope it delivers on that for me personally, and more than probably will. But we also got to understand the points from other people from what they want, from the veterans or just people who take the game franchise seriously to those who just want a good racing experience as a whole, and you know, all of those are important. Realism and fun aren't always an easy mix but it's plausible. I'm thankful for Kazunori and co. for having done what they have in giving us this series even if, like any other game developer, have their things which make us want to drive sharp sticks into their eyes.
Let's just wait and keep on the fun guessing game till release day and see what comes from the door aight?
