Question about counter-steering wheel assist

[RNGRxGORO]

Hey

I was reading this post of GTS https://www.gtplanet.net/easiest-ways-make-money-xp-gt-sport/ and I read that the counter steering assist is a "god mode" in this game.
I just have a question: is this expression "god mode" something official? Did the devs say that this is a godmode? Or is this just an 'unofficial' expression, like just an exaggeration even though the devs never said that this function is a godmode?

I know this is a strange question xd

Unofficial expression.

Unofficial expression.

Thanks for your reply!

Unofficial expression.

So the devs never said that this function is a godmode, right? Sorry for asking again but seriously my OCD is killing me

No, they never did. It's simply the article writer finding a colourful way to say that the assist is very helpful, by comparing it to 'god mode' invincibility cheats in action games. I don't know if there even is an equivalent reference in Japanese.

the article writer finding a colourful way to say

Pretty much the job description


And yes, at no point has Polyphony Digital, PlayStation Studios, or Sony Interactive Entertainment referred to any part of any Gran Turismo game as "god mode". CSA is merely an unrealistic driving aid that doesn't mimic real-world driving aids in the intent or manner that other driving aids in the game do.

As such, the wider community has often referred to it as a "god mode" because it applies an unrealistic effect that makes most poor drivers much, much faster; it's not a classical "god mode" which allows for noclip/invincibility/flight etc. (or an all-seeing artificial intelligence speaking to you directly through a cochlear implant).

So CSA is not a godmode, and the devs never said it is a godmode. Hopefully I understood this right.

Sorry once again for asking this twice, but my OCD was killing me 🥲
