Patch 1.10 - new single player mode "GT League"

[gorlt]

For the level of BS PD receive, they still respect their fans and customers. DLC and career expansion, feature updates, undoubted server and bug fixes, with tracks coming later too, all for free! And people are still complaining?

With everything happening with EA and loot boxes, I couldn’t be more grateful for PD.

The porting of GT6 Premium cars has begun!!!

 

[Jakedog23]

They posted the info on GTSport homepage and there are a few interesting updates.

Physics simulation has been modified

SR Algorithm has been improved upon

The Shelby Cobra will be an N500 car

 

[Famine]

So why on every FIA race it's messed up and cars rubber banding and crash into you like the used to on project cars

Network play. It's the same everywhere - any network play is only as strong as its weakest link - and nothing to do with whether it's P2P or dedicated servers.

Or this update, for that matter.

wanted the old career mode back

Source?

(Think you’ll find they wanted an improved career mode)

Source?

(Think you’ll find they wanted an improved career mode)

Source for a general sentiment? That's a weird request.

 

[skydragon49]

Thanx Baby Jesus.

I always thought GTS was going to evolve more and more, and then will become a different game entirely.

Let the change begin!

Think you’ll find you presented it as a statement

A bunch of people didn't like it and wanted the old career mode

Doesn’t change the fact its wrong...

This is actually awesome news. For those of us that have either completed the current offline content or are near to it this adds more stuff to do whilst waiting for daily or FIA races to pop. It also pulls in the none online competitive crowd to the game again.

Well done PD

 

[MisterWaffles]

So I'm guessing this is where the other %75 of the game was?

Good, now that old meme can die in a deep pit,

 

[Outspacer]

SR Algorithm has been improved upon

Interesting - "Furthermore, it is also now possible to see the deductions of SR points not only for yourself, but also for other drivers involved in a collision/incident with your car."

I wonder if that includes time penalties?

 

[Broda]

I've been curious since launch with the game being more set up for the racing and at least, for now, gr3 and gr4 if some of these cars will have racing counterparts as well.

I've had high expectations from the start of this game in terms of DLC and I'm doubting it'll be a letdown. Thanks PD

I'm actually curious for once to see comparison shots. How much did they rebuild? But after all, those models were future proof eh?

 

[DriveSpark]

Just goes to show having a little patience instead of whinging on the internet pays dividends. Will be interesting to see what the other 50 (or is it 38?) cars will be before March.

Can't help but laugh at some of the negative comments in the thread though, lighten up, its a video game, not life and death !

Considering GT6 models still hold up very well compared to the competition, they shouldn't look out of place at all.

JP credits, where a Veneno costs 365,000,000

There isn't enough to spend 200,000 on anyway... the new cars will be free

Free in terms of real cash. Not free in credits!

 

[Taegon Lewis]

Glad to see the F-150 Raptor and R32 GT-R, to be implemented in GT Sport.

But, until I see a Fairlady Z (Stock, not Chris Forsburg’s Z34 nor Sung Kang’s FuguZ S30; even though, they’re cool.) or a BRZ in the game, I’m still not getting GT Sport.

 

[Outspacer]

Free in terms if real cash. Not free in credits!

Speculation on my part, but they might be winnable. Got more than enough credits to afford them anyway

 

[Scaff]

So they should have done nothing? Because apparently fixing mistakes is a bad thing?

Not even remotely close to what I said.

You do realise that a PR driven damage limitations action can still be a good thing!

 

[Samus]

What? No, they gave you a competitive online racing mode that is unlike anything else on the console market. They totally turned the whole thing on it's head. A bunch of people didn't like it and wanted the old career mode back despite it being tired and generic. So they gave it to them.

You keep talking about fresh innovation but not even you can specifically describe a way to innovate the tired campaign model that all racing games have milked to death. You wanted more offline content.. bam, you got it. Besides, the innovative mission design wouldn't be apparent in the UI anyways. The actual individual missions structures and the tone they set will be what makes or brakes the new campaign.

Yes, I'm aware of what the core of GTS is, that's why I didn't buy it and don't post here any more. I appreciate they took the game in a new direction, but it wasn't for me. Which is fine.

But look back at my old posts and you'll see what I wanted and hoped for. I don't care what "a bunch of people" wanted. I didn't want the old career mode back, I wanted something new and interesting.

Am I a game designer? No. It's not my job to innovate and post ideas. I could give you some but what is the point, I'm not PD, I'm not making the game. I play most racing games, across several iterations of the same series. They don't all use the same exact setup through each game. They come up with new ideas. Some are more sandbox, some follow the zero to hero career like a real racing driver. They have different ways to progress, signing contracts for teams or being your own driver and so on.

PD have just taken the GT1-6 format, copied and pasted with the same events, same "pick an event, enter, pick the next one" structure. It's tired, and dated, and like I say, stinks of a quick fix. Not what I wanted.

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Doesn’t change the fact its wrong...

Saying an uncited fact, is a fact, is wrong. But now this discussion got weird and ridiculous. A matter of fact, people that have to constantly declare statements as FACTS tend to be full of it. Now that's a fact.

 

[SincereDude]

Well, looks like this is on my buy-list now.


All I ask for is an eventual current-gen remake of Grand Valley Speedway, Autumn Ring, and Trial Mountain for future updates.


Pls

That's the whole point of my reply. It was being talked, not by you necessarily, like that was a bad thing.

I think it's pretty hard to argue that this is not a reaction to the negative press the game has received across the internet since release. There is no way they would have kept quiet about this if it was definitely going to be in the game. Nothing wrong with a dev realising they got it wrong and trying to fix it.

 

[CCLOPES]

DID I JUST SEE A FRICKING COBRA??

 

[Scaff]

That's the whole point of my reply. It was being talked, not by you necessarily, like that was a bad thing.

Then why quote me?

If you feel someone is presenting it as a negative (which they are perfectly entitled to do so) I would suggest you quote them.

Rather than assigning the views of others to me, otherwise you run the risk of it looking like you are attempting to make out someone hold a position they don't.

Yeah, and my point is that you haven't played this new GT League mode and are assuming what it is and isn't. You really have no clue what you're talking about.

Secondly, it's automobile racing. Racing has been racing since 1895, there's not much innovation on the concept of a race. Sure they could make a bunch of gimmick Samba demo derby courses or Subie Stunt Jump challenges or copy whatever dumb gimmick that Forza squatted out, but at the end of the day the game still needs to be about racing.

I quoted you because you were the last to mention that subject, and i was talking about that said subject in general, and not your personal view of it, it isn't that serious.

 

[andyparks]

More than likely due to your internet.

Nothing to do with my internet it's 300mb down and 20 mb up wired and ok on every other game
