I won't be playing GT Sport till Christmas night with it being a Christmas gift but from what i have seen so far not just when the game launched but now a new update along with a bigger update coming next month. The feel to play this game is getting more and more intense just for the wait closer i am getting to Christmas and turning on the PS4 and popping in GT Sport. When you see me race on track, my PSN id is RacingChamp30. Just lower case here on GT planet but the R and C in capital letters on PSN account. I am a clean racer and part of Snail racing online league.

I strongly suggest installing the game and setting off the downloading of the updates before going to bed Christmas eve at the latest.

Sorry, I get tired of a lot of the negativity around here and felt it necessary to point out that this game exceeded all my expectations except with regard to the track list. So just to counter all the nonsense threads (because in amongst the valid and constructive criticisms there is a LOT of whiny baby bull mess) I decided to point out how happy I am with the game and (most surprisingly) the recent communication from PD.

Feel free to disagree, but also feel free to discuss the shortcomings of the game (in your eyes) in another thread. There are plenty catering to that cause.

I love it too, can't wait to finish work and get home to it for a couple of hours.

Agree with this completely - don't play the game, of course, but get the downloads happening as they are pretty big.

I third this. Game install is 70gb without Decembers update. And could be a lot of people trying to download that update from the server on xmas day....
 
I think that the update will happen few days before Christmas. On Christmas day, every year, there is a looooooot of people connecting to their PS4 (PSN, online). It's not a good idea if PDi decides to deliver this update on 25th :lol:

I personally do feel an aching emptiness when I think of GT Sport due to omission of certain cars and tracks. But overall, I agree with you Orange Cat, that that the game is pretty good and any additions from this point forward will be gravy.
 
I've loved all the other series, but as many people has said, you do get tired of the "massive tuned monster" vs stock-cars. It's just too easy!
I love the online-parts! I do want a bit more variety in daily races available though. I hope something like a "muscle cars only"-race or "kei cars only"-race mode comes some day!

I meant other people who get the game for xmas and then get the prompt to download the update.
 
Picked it up in the black friday sales. Played last night for 4 and a half hours solid. It must of been good :) Also 95% of that was racing rather than being stuck in menus trying to fix ffb or camera fovs.

One big issue was AI though...im an average racer and went to Suzuka started from the back in a 10 lap race and ended up winning the race by 42 seconds on the highest difficulty. AI is so sloooooooow
 
I honestly thought this game was going to be complete trash. But, the photomode quality seemed redeeming, so I gave it a shot and got a PS4 Pro, and damn. The cars handle good, they dont feel as stale as GT6, the game looks pretty good too, and the photomode is spectacular. Still not sold on Scapes as a whole, and the car list is a bit lacking as of now, but I gotta say,

I was wrong as hell.

Do a Custom race, drive a N100 car versus GR.4 cars, and we will see if you still find that AI is slow :lol:.

The only challenge you can have, is in custom races. Classic arcade races are too easy, you're right.
 
Thrilled to see some Driveclub love in here. That game got raked over the coals for its initial launch (lack of content was the complaint?) and turned into one of the greatest racing games ever crafted over the course of the first year. It's that kind of substantial development on the long term that excites me about the future of GT, and the upcoming expansion seems to be the first big step.

I could give you a laundry list of things to gripe about with GT Sport, but all of them would be missing the point of this new, focused direction. Taken for what it is and what it set out to be, I personally think this is the finest release in the series so far, and only looks to get better and better!

Really enjoying the game even if I didn't win any online race (about 100 races, 0 victory) :lol:. Now I'm C DR and S SR, so I think I'll never win a race, but it's not a problem. Fights in mid-pack are great!

I would take a many good clean races over 8th 9th 10th than multiple victories with little action.

Its what you make of it that counts

Mid pack races are much more entertaining

I won't lie, when I saw the fantasy track list I was really disappointed. I didn't even buy the game for the first month, that's how much it bothered me that weren't a lot of real track locations.

Then I finally decide to actually buy this game, I thought if PD finally had the balls to change the format of Gran Turismo, then I have to buy it and support them. Concentrating on human multiplayer racing is a big step forward for this series, and to be honest I was bored of the same old format that all car games almost followed. Buy a car, upgrade it, tune it and beat the opponent AI in non upgraded cars. Snooze fest.

So I pop in GT Sport and the game is just gorgeous. The cars, the racing and the fantasy tracks. I absolutely love the fantasy track....I think they look fantastic and can't wait to hopefully see more. I hop into GT Sport and spend a lot of time qualifying on Kyoto Driving Park - Miyabi. I bust out lap after lap and come out with a great qualifying time. I basically started 1st in the 5 races I did that day and won 3 of them. I was hooked.

The racing I find is clean out front, but people in the back really play bumper cars. Those players rarely have a chance to win so I think they will soon realize they will have to qualify and race better, or just stop playing the game. Either way it's a win for all of us clean racers. The other thing I love, take a look around the pit when you're in warmup. The attention to detail is fantastic and looks amazing. By far my favorite car game I've played on console or PC. To me it's what this series needed. They incorporated the driver rating and safety rating which is what is making this game a absolute joy to drive. To me it's a better looking iracing and am loving every second.

The game to me looks absolutely gorgeous in 1080p on my PS4 Pro...I do have a 4K TV arriving this week so I'm interested to see it on that this week.

Having hundreds of simulators and want the same circuits, I can not stop laughing with that
 
I think what's interesting is I have a bunch of friends interested in online play, another lot who just time trial and drive for the fun if it, and another group focused on liveries. Now there's also a fourth group who picked it up in the sales and play it on an ultra casual level.

Only GT can do that for the sim genre on PS4.

I am in another group: Me and my girlfriend traveling the world in the white Jaguar F-Type through the Scapes...(with music, café and so on...).
 
There is something in the polish of the game, what Japanese developers just seem to do better then western ones. The menu sounds, music etc. they all brought back memoriesof the GT series, but at the same time knowing this was intended to be an e-sports game. (I am a single player type of gamer). I still loved it. The unique feel and physics in The GT series is right up my alley. It’s just more fun driving in GT then pcars and ac. Even without 1000+ cars this game is much better then the competition! Although I do want more tracks!

I especially love the new assists to learn new tracks (cones, corner indicators and brake warnings). Now I wish every racegame should dump the racing line assist and use this system. It has drastically shortened the time to learn tracks!

And this game will only get better with the return of GT mode. In my opinion kaz made a smart move to strip down the bloated game GT had become in gt5 and 6 and went back to the core of the first GT.

Can I get an opinion about whether adding tuning parts to a car starts to erode its individuality?
