Share your GT Mode first impressions

[Stotty]

Are you guys serious? 99% of the people wanted a Single Player mode - we got it for free literally a few of hours ago and here you are complaining how bad it is...well if you are not happy let's just tell PD to rollback the update... just don't get the negativity towards the game so far...

Moaners will always find something to moan about

Buddy its the GT community, they love to always moan and whine about every single thing in this series.

Do they award any additional mileage points for the events or is it just credits?

The answer is they appear to just be cash payouts. The payout is also reduced significantly if you boost your power (presumably also if you lower your weight), not that you would need to.

It would be nice if they gave us more ways to earn mileage points. Would be cool if you received MP every time someone added one of your shared items to their library...

 

[djdest]

It’s easy enough to earn them as it is!
I’ve played for an hour or two most days and already have over 30k of mileage points left after buying everything this week, and I’ve never done any daft cheats with rubber bands or auto drive

 

[MisterWaffles]

Small little thing but I noticed AI cars in campaign mode running around with liveries like during the Clio Cup or on the S-FR Racing Concept.

 

[FerrellJ]

I can't speak for everyone but I imagine that most of us would have rather they just spent this time developing more tracks instead.

This doesn't really add anything we didn't have before- it just saves super lazy people from having to go through the hassle of setting up a custom race. Those payouts aren't anything to write home about.

I'm not particularly upset about it myself though.

 

[djdest]

If they added every single thing ever requested people would still moan

 

[MisterWaffles]

Caught the AI running a GT3 Cup replica livery. I thought it was cute to see a GT3 RS pretending to be a race car.

Very brief thoughts as I was going through things for the article:

• GT2 menu music is super nostalgic. Nice touch, PD!
• Finally giving players access to some of the holiday stuff in-game. Nice touch, PD!
• There are some funny inside jokes in those liveries running around GT League...
• I like a good chunk of the cars added, and they're free, so that's a big plus.
• The new menus are clear, and there's a lot of info available about what races you're entering.
• The races themselves, at least going by the menus (I've only beat Sunday Cup), are very short. There's also no championship-style points systems, which is disappointing. These are themed single races.
• The rubber bands have been reinforced for GT League. I clawed back an entire eight seconds from the top of the hill leading into the hairpin at Dragon Trail to the end of lap one... and then P2 was on my bumper the entire rest of the race.
• Relating to the above, and not so much a negative as a neutral, the rubber-banding does make for some hilarious hijinks. Running a detuned Vantage around the Nurb GP, I watched the P2 Alfa 4C getting positively sideways overdriving every corner to catch up. It would reel me in on the straights (which didn't add up, but hey), and on more than one occasion, utterly miss its braking point and careen off. I also had it take me out, seemingly intentionally, at the final chicane.

Not surprising these comments.

Waiting for next batch of comments like below:

1) Man AI is so bad. No challenge at all.
2)Man races are so easy. I m winning everything.

 

[PzR Slim]

Disappointing to hear about the rubber banding and lack of a challenge. Why can't they just make decent single player content with decent AI?

Think this sums this forum up:

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”

 

[sgllocal]

and the moaning has begun again. asked for single player. gets it and moans. its quite obvious we will get more stuff added over time. why would they release everything in one update? be patient and stop getting upset. its christmas

 

[dzumaalcapone]

So the new cars are free as in you don't have to use credits to get them?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Long train of cars GT6 style with catch up logic. I hoped they'd learned from the mistake that was GT6. Clearly they haven't. 👎

If they can't do it themselves then an update to add qualifying and create event options for create race mode would allow us to make our own GT-mode races. Being able to upload them so we can play each others races would be the icing on the cake.

 

[SestoScudo]

I got hit with nostalgia with the GT2 arcade menu music.

Damn GT2 i miss you so much. I wait the day when most gt2 cars return back to the Gt series.

 

[FUNanywhere]

Ofcourse you have to buy it.

First impressions, It's a bit threadbare for a campaign mode.

5 "cups" in the Beginner League
6 "cups" in the Amateur League
2 "cups" in the Professional League
and last but not least

ONLY 2 ENDURANCE RACES

Gr1 - Nurburgring GP
Porsche GT4 RS - Suzuka

I feel that aspect alone is far from fully utilized, Where is the Nurb 24 course endurance?, Mount Panorama endurance? Northern Isle endurance? Kind of well lets be honest extremely disappointed they could and should have fleshed it out much, much more.

Not sure Northern Isle needs an Endurance event, but Mount Panorama could definitely use one. I remember in one of the previous GTs there was an endurance event on one of the more technical circuits that I wasn't really a fan of and having to complete the event to get the cup meant that I spent plenty of time lapping, learning the course and eventually quite liking the track.

I'm guessing this category will expand more when Spa and La Sarthe are added, but yeah, N24 definitely seems like an odd omission. Maybe they've held it back to see the initial reaction before they decide whether it should be a 5 or 25 laps.

no, you have to use credits to get to use them.
but you dont have to spend real money to unlock them (no DLC)

 

[SestoScudo]

To be honest im happy we got gt mode. One thing there is not enough events to be honest. Only two endurance races??

I hope in the future Gt mode gets expanded!!!

 

[Adam Duffield]

I can see this as an early GT League that will be updated with new races and tracks over time, yes some of the races are a bit repetitive and sparse but as additional content gets added so will GT League races and cups.

It's pretty hard to not be disappointed when you read stuff like below. How can you defend that?

• The rubber bands have been reinforced for GT League. I clawed back an entire eight seconds from the top of the hill leading into the hairpin at Dragon Trail to the end of lap one... and then P2 was on my bumper the entire rest of the race.

This is true.

The shame of it is how toxic those that aren't pleased can become.

 

[JacksHerer]

I opened up the campaign mode just to get rid of the new tag, I won't be doing any of the offline races. There is only so much game time I can allocate and that's split between VR and sport/lobby races.

 

[baldgye]

It was either too short and people would complain, or too repetitive and people would complain. I'd argue that this was a no-win scenario.

Not to worry, time still ticks and things evolve.

I think the bigger issue was that people seemed to think that this would bring back GT mode to Sport

 

[Sloppy Shades]

It's something to do when you are too bored to do something else. We will never get the magic of the old GT full games back. No reason to complain though. I just won the Sunday Cup series in the Project X car I'd never used before sliding all over the place for fun. Same old tracks yawn .... Worst part was when I cleared the series I didn't win a Honda Civic or Fiat 500 whatever... Nothing actually.. Free daily cars for just driving around but no prize car here.

 

[PozzaP87]

Of the people moaning, what were you actually expecting the GT League mode to be?

When it was first unveiled it was pretty obvious it would follow the previous format found in most other GT games, so im intrigued to know why some people are so annoyed at it?

Its not PD's fault if you over hyped a single player update... just be thankful that it was free.. a lot of other franchises would have put it behind a paid-DLC paywall.

 

[bokimoto]

I have no use or desire for single player modes.

It's nice for the many folks who wanted this addition, but what the game really needs is more circuits.

 

[TSTO]

It seems to be easier to earn mileage points now. I got 550MP from one run around Nur 24h in an online lobby.

Disappointing to hear about the rubber banding and lack of a challenge. Why can't they just make decent single player content with decent AI?

After graphics, and physics there’s only so much power left in a regular ps4 to process AI. Traditionally, PD’s priorities for allocating processing power has always been gfx>physics>AI.
