How much of GT Sport's content has been cut?

[BoaYT]

I've recently been thinking about this question more so since the whole "NSX Glitch" screen thing happened to the reddit poster, which is till contemplating its legitimacy, but I wanted to ask a question, has anyone successfully attempted to go through the games data to find any cut content like in previous games?

With the old beta footage of GT sport coming back into my youtube recommended for reasons unknown, it resparked my memory that multiple cars have been confirmed to be removed from the game, specifically noteable are the Lotus evora group n and its group 3 & 4 variants, as well as an n200 Mazda MX-5 (Roadster) which featured a widebody fender & splitter kit, a rollcage and spoiler. This combined with my friend and I simultanously understanding PD went for the quality over quantity approach, while scratching our heads at the gut feeling that something is missing from the game, we just can't work out what.

I would like to make a list of everything which can be found removed from the game, whether through through old youtube videos or people who were able to go through the game data and coding, the list will be edited below overtime with references. If you have any things you have found, please reply with a link to the source you found it from.

The Miata was N200 originally introduced but then converted into a Gr4 car .
That car existed in every build up until the beta .
The only lotus cut was the Evora . No Gr4 / GR3 was ever seen or listed . The Elise was listed .

I have been gathering evidence of cut beta content for a while

The " Demo " feature was cut ( basically a replay without having to drive )
Replay angles were cut
360 camera movement was cut
In game dynamic Tessellation was cut .
The " rewards " tab was cut , most likely replaced with mileage points .


We can't discus data mining as that stuff is prohibited here .

I heard that some have seen VR playing with multiple opponents, but never found any evidence of this. Someone may have a video ?

Well, found one :


I would say : whyyyyy ???!!

It happens with every game and there's almost always a good reason behind cut content. Most of the time we never find out why though.

And not only was the Elise listed, it was in demos since December 2016 and was cut from the game with the Evora. The Evora wasn’t the only cut.

That's so painful to see. PD have got to get the license back!

Does any one have beta replays ? I'm going to upload the overhead helicopter perspective one today when I get home .
Does any one know if the keyboard trick changes replay positions or if it's only limited to sepectater mode?
