Gaming needs a top GT game again. Used to be my favorite racing game back in the day. Different class.

I used to be a massive GT fan. Put in all the hours to gold everything. Early GT licences, GT4's mission 34, GT5's Vettel challenges, all of it. But GT6 did very little for me and this just looks like the same game again with some visual upgrades. Feels like this whole franchise has been going slowly downhill after GT4. Will we ever get the improved sound, AI or collision physics we've been desperately hoping for for about a decade? I'm not holding my breath.

I even bought the gaming steering wheel for the original GT. Ah those licences. Good times.

Very true - those would be my only concerns to be honest.

My favourite racing game of all time but they did not really make a jump to PS3 very well. I loved GT5 and spent loads of time with it, basically one of university memories where I spent several days in a row playing with mates on a newly bought Logitech wheel, but GT6 was a let down. They need to drop those nonsense standard cars too.

How far is this game from release?? those flat tree graphics from 1:20-1:30 are pretty bad, but if its still got a way to go then it's not really an issue.

It seems like there's a good sense of speed though which has been lacking in GT. Looks good on the whole, the livery editor and photomode look fairly extensive.

Always been a classy game, but the racing was turd. I assume it'll be more online based than ever though so might not be as much of an issue.

In what way?

I spent a ridiculous amount of time on 5, but 6 was a big let down.

Hopefully this will be a hit, the footage looks pretty good.

I've been waiting for this a while. The PS4 needs a good racing game.

In the earlier Gran Turismos, which everyone rated extremely highly too (and rightly so for a lot of reasons as they stepped the bar up massively in a lot of areas), the racing was dull and essentially felt like a bunch of cars on a set path with little action.

I didn't play the last one so maybe it's improved?

Yeah I agree, the opponents were very linear, all drove the same way too. Would be nice if they could add a bit of variation/character, like getting the back end out round corners or understeering etc. Either way the graphics look fantastic.

Ah I thought you meant the driving rather than the AI. Yea it wasn't great at times, but some of the challenges were a bit harder.

There was a Ferrari F1 race on GT5 seasonal events that was crazy hard, took ages to win.

Project Cars, Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa surely count as good racing games?
Not really into rally enough to play a full game based on it and I thought project cars wasn't great tbh.

Preferred the early ones when you had hundreds of cars to choose from and would start with some shitty little used car

Yeah, the earlier ones were epic, 2 I always remember being very good, and 4 was decent too although I can't remember if you started with a shite car on that or not

What the feck have Polyphony been doing all these years? Sony get rid of good studios and keep these piss heads open who are living off the reputation of a game that was great on the PS2. The last two were ok on PS3, but nothing special.

WTF really?

Not buying if that's the case.

My post is from May, but it was posted on GT planet forum.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...ure-single-player-career-events-races.346416/

Folks over at GT Planet collected evidence which basically confirms there won't be any traditional offline events ('Sunday Cup', 'Free like the wind'...) like in previous Gran Turismo games.
Quick Race aka Arcade Mode is still there though.
This isn't a traditional GT. It is more focused to the esports/multiplayer side. Daily events and championships are going to be online only.

Well that's a let down. Best part of the game from my PS1 days. Won't be buying it if true.

That will never happen since the car brands will never accept their cars getting wrecked.

My memory might fail me, but i seem to remember the earlier installments where a lot more fleshed out in terms of car customization/upgrading and was a lot more open in the terms of cars you used? I remember the earliest installments, buying a shitty old car and then upgrading it to punch well above it's weight was a lot of fun. It also kinda gave you some resemblance of relationship to your cars.

Can't remember if it was 4 or 5 where they awarded you a new cars after each cup and it really ruined it for me.

The racing car modifications available to practically all cars in GT1 and 2 is why they're still my 2 favourites tbh.

What does it mean online only?

As in racing cars created around your skill levels based off other players like forza?

Only racing online against other real people all the time?

If it's the latter you'll obviously get those guys who play gran turismo only, or practically only so they are like pros. And the casual gamer will be left with no reason to play the game.

Gran turismo career mode used to be the best.

Someone needs to basically remake gt2 under a different name with upgraded graphics and more cars and tracks. Just add in an optional online mode too.

Car games feel as if they're getting less and less gameplay wise. They're just about winning a race and winning a car which will beat all other races. The modifications don't even seem great, they're either BS, or overly complicated. No middle ground.

Feck it, Crash team racing is what I want now, feck gt and feck forza.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like this has the same problem as the previous games where the AI just follow their programmed racing lines, and aren't affected by your driving. Also, for as good as the cars look in these games it's always noticeable how false the scenery and buildings are. I skipped GT6 though so I'll keep an eye on this one.

These games seem to come out every 25 years.

I used to love a good driving game. Anything worth getting on PD$ in the Gran Tourismo/Forza mould?
I have Driveclub and think it's pretty good. Really good driving feel and some decent cars as well.

How does it take GT developers years to make this game but the crowd who do Forza churn one out each year (and they apparently are all top quality)

That's the big question and I doubt anyone other than Kazunori Yamauchi can answer it. He seems to consider himself and his studio as perfectionists, but looking at all of their output since 2010, perfection isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind. He obsesses over every little detail of each car being recreated with extreme authenticity, but it ultimately adds very little to the game and lead to the "standard" car horror shows that were GT5 and GT6.

In my opinion Yamauchi has become completely out of touch with the gaming industry and the entire studio and the quality of their output is suffering as a result. They need a major wake-up call and a change of management or their slide into irrelevance will continue.

Having said all that, I put the ridiculously sized demo on download in rest mode since yesterday. Can't hurt to try. I'm intrigued by the VR mode, so hopefully it's in the demo.

I'm not sure I'd call forza top quality. Some of the driving physics is terrible and the AI seem to just stop in the middle of the track at times. I'd love a game as good as the early GTs.

I hear this new GT will have 150 cars, of which maybe a 100 tops will be unique.

That's like 20 cars made per year. How many people working at this studio, 10?
