The little details of Gran Turismo

[Roxanne]

On Willow Springs, behind the big sign on the tight Corner, there are 2 People wearing a green vest where the GT logo is displayed and some text with "Photo Crew"

I do like the watch.

Even though the chrono is broken?

 

[sems4arsenal]

It's not little, but their fantasy (non VGT) cars are really really well done.

Big upgrade from this

Even that though is a really cool way of taking a boring car and making it awesome. Polyphony has always been good at modifying/making race cars better than the stuff in real life.

What's that colored part of the rim for? Just for show? To separate front and rear tires?

Possbibly to quickly identify where the valve is located.

great details, vision gt wheels?

I always drive in car and with some N300 cars you have mirrors. Since a couple of days I can only pay attention to the trees disappearing in your mirrors too fast. Hopefully it's a result of the beta and it will be fine tuned (better algorithm) in the final version. Or is it a trade off to free up more memory/cpu power for other details in front of you?

It's a trade off and happens in almost every game.

IIRC, there are photographers around Northern Isle Speedway that "ducks" and aims their cameras on the cars as they pass by. This could be easily seen via replays.

They do it on Dragon Trail as well.

 

[Gejabo]

Noticed the photographers raising their cameras on the nordschleife as well.

I like the in car sound from running over curbs. You hear the wheels on the curb, but you also hear the car rattling around. First heard it in the Z4.

 

[GT Sport]

1 more thing which amazed me:
After doing a burnout, the wheels remain with smoke. Even if you accelerate there's still some smoke coming out for a small period of time!

 

[RACECAR]

So apparently (forgot to mention this), you can drive behind that little barrier near the in-field of Northern Isle. Kinda discovered it on accident when I spun after touching the apron.

Which barrier?

Ok just found it

• In GT Sport, while the track is loading, press O then press X to go back to the menu, pretty useful if you accidentally clicked the time trial.
• Pressing the L3 button pauses the information text at the bottom in Sport Mode.

 

[Ameer67]

Pressing the L3 button pauses the information text at the bottom in Sport Mode.

Been there since GT4, IIRC. Pretty neat and I find it useful, so I'm glad to see it's still in.

Goggles Paesano's spare sets, perhaps?

 

[BrainsBush]

Don't know if it is on purpose or not, but @Nords I spotted "ACAB" in light blue paint at the little carrousel (that's the 2nd one before the long straight). I'm fine with it but I can imagine some are offended by it?

It's all in the details

It's like that since GT5. The smoke is generated through the tire heat, which is visible in the HUD.

Drivers reacting to bumps

I legitimately thought this was real life footage for a second. It's insane how good GT Sport looks. And that's awesome, PD are always on point with the tiny details.

Offended how? Just curious.

The game is going in a good path, but I'd like to to sand trails on the road of Willow Spring after driving across. The track looks realistic as it is but tiny features can build to a more realistic approach.

Aaaahh. thanks for the explaining.

Yeah debris on the track with dirt and sand on the asphalt would be nice. It would be cool to have "traction traps" building up here and there.

Gifed the dust trail effect at Dragon Trail.



Not sure if it is dust or what but I love that effect.

Looks purty but IMO it's an incredible waste of processing power for what is essentially a photo op.

They should add this effect for Willow Springs.

Depends on your definition of fun. It looks cool, makes for a nice gif, but in a game that has to hit a rock solid 60 fps, is it really a good use of the limited processing power available? On the Pro perhaps but what else must be sacrificed to achieve this brief moment of graphic enhancement? The recent digital foundry analysis had the game running at 50 fps or slightly less in large packs of cars. What would the frame rate be under the same conditions with some track dust kicking up? 40 fps? 35 fps? The smartest option would be, and I don't know if this is possible and may even be the case already, to disable this effect in racing conditions and have it available only for solo driving where frame rates are solid.
