Take a Tour of GT Sport's Tokyo East and Colorado Springs Circuits

[Imari]

I thought the illumination was good for low beams, if that's what was in use.

For a road car, perhaps. If you're in a rally car and blasting through the forest at 200kmph, you naturally want a little more illumination so that you can at least see the tree before you hit it. There's a fairly significant difference in how road and race cars (especially rally cars) treat headlights in the real world (see stuff like the R18 and it's laser headlights), and in a small game like this that's focusing on motorsport I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that difference to be captured.

There's a chance that the high beams weren't on. If it follows suite to previous entries in the series, then you'll have the option to use high beams - so there will be more illumination.

In this footage, the headlights are significantly brighter:

You are correct, high beam is definitely off.👍

Very interesting if that is the high beam indicator, because in the footage that shows more illumination, the indicator still doesn't seem to be on:

Is the R stick is for a free motion cursor ? Like a mouse

I'm not sure - I didn't play the beta, so I'm not sure if there are any free motion cursors.

I am hoping we can use a keyboard/mouse to use the interface, though.

This definatly needs some slower technical sections as you say. One could only hope for a dlc variation. Where an off ramp opens you up to a short suburban section. With a few tight 2nd gear corners and chicanes before shooting back up an on ramp and back into the high speed stuff.

I reckon we may see some more variations of Tokyo come release...

Yeah, does seem a little odd. It's the same high beam sign as in GT6. One thing I noticed looking at the difference in the two cars, the Focus Rally car has a light bar, but the Subie doesn't

Small as in content, not small as in indy developed. It's a highly refined game, but the scope of what GTS provides is...well, small. Nothing wrong with that, but just like a restaurant if you're going to serve small portions then they should probably be excellent.

Tokyo East to me looks washed out or bland surely they could have had better lighting through the tunnels etc. Even the older gt games looked better than this.

This might be something we will just never agree on lol.

I'm curious though, which, if any, of the big 3 circuit-based sims of 2017 do you plan to purchase?

The ones for which i already own hardware.

Strongly disagree.

It works on the beta, but i did on the menu, garage, not tried on the pre race menu, but we see there the upper menu on your screen, maybe that s why you can go up there
