Possible Improvements to Gran Turismo’s Replay Mode Shown at Gamescom 2016?

Despite an apparent no-filming policy, short clips of GT Sport are slowly emerging from Gamescom 2016. Eagle-eyed GTPlanet member aceboy127 has spotted what appears to be a slight upgrade to the replay mode of the game.

Reviewing a race between packs of the newest MX-5 and the recently-revealed S-FR, a small menu bar can be seen at the very bottom of the screen. Offering a cleaner look than the comparable buttons in GT6, the menu shows that the rewind and fast-forward options both work in 10-second intervals.

The Replay Modes of previous GT games have been criticized for a comparative lack of fine-grain control. This could suggest Polyphony have taken note of these short-comings and have begun working to improve the level of power players have when reviewing races. With the FIA championship being a major part of the title, a more robust review system would be welcome.

As the game is still a work-in-progress, we’ll have to wait a few more months to see what — if any — improvements are available to gamers.

GT Sport releases mid-November, 2016. Stay tuned for more details on the game as they make their way out of Gamescom.

    30 second intervals in GT6. 10 second intervals in GTS. Thats 30 seconds to 10 seconds.

      I thought in GT6 it was by track sector, not by 30 seconds. So if 2 track sectors are far from one another, and the action happens between those sectors, than good luck…

    If we can go forward or reverse up to 5 seconds frame (or so) by frame, I will be happy. I am so annoyed with the “Oh, I ALMOST got the frame I wanted” for the photo modes…. (And other views-like reviewing a wreck)

    Man, just give us a video editor tool already. We have a photo mode, but no video editor mode. It’s one of the few great features missing and just makes sense in a GT game. Look at GTA for reference. Even The Crew attempted one.

    I think that’s way cool. But what I really want is a play back of a live GTS session that proves the engine sounds have indeed been the attention to detail they have been lacking for a lot of years.
