I mean, there's 200+ events and in the video they show only the very first event in each category. Like, do you expect the very first event to be some hardcore, almost unbeatable challenge?
Are you saying that for example all the rest of the 56 mission challenges are all tasking you with driving over cones like the first one, when you're facing evidence that some of them are race challenges?
That is also ignoring that the entire final category is unknown.

Training stages and missions excite me because they open the door for variety. Full races will be there, but I'm interested in how they try to mix things up.

physics still very "simcade"

You'll be waiting years and years. Better to just give up on that. Me, personally, I'm glad they've cut all the tedious bloat.

Photomode looks to be very in depth (best in any game so far?).

Yeah i can totally see thia game getting shat on in reviews due to low car count, low track count and lack of a full single player campaign

Looks amazing, that track where he did the first license test challenge looks very very good. Glad to see so many events, I'm sure there is much more to come or to be unveiled before release.....

Haven't read many previews yet, but why wouldn't they just do GT7?
What's the advantage to this seemingly trimmed down version? Just quicker turnaround?

The car list is roughly the same as GT3 and GT1. The track list numbers wise is fine, just remains to see if the fantasy tracks are any good.

What is this awesome looking city track? Is it the full version of Tokyo?

It's probably wise to stop expecting a "proper" GT7, this is the next mainline title and the way forward chosen for the series, and they will obviously stack on plenty of content down the line, some of which may very well be SP content.

"They should have" is probably the title of this game's marketing campaign.
Sentences ending with a question mark are generally not claims by the writer, but questions for the other person to give their answer to.

Indeed. Bet they don't even have Jay Leno narrating them.
Tokyo but I'm fairly sure it's an unconnected map to the other one.
Seems like you cant have a game expose without shit-talking the most meaningless features like cones that are not photogenic on a training lesson. Im happy to see that at least we dont have tree bitching this time.
I love the menu layout and license tests being one of my favorite features, I will gladly spend my first week of the game trying to ace them all.

Slickest UI in the business as usual visually, hope it's easier to navigate than GT6. The racing seems quite dull but I'm sure that has a lot to do with the slower cars and boring ass commentator speaking over the vid.
We also have people who can't handle negative opinions of their favourite franchise!

Gorgeous UI presentation as expected. There's footage of the photo mode UI at the end of the Gamespot video too.
Next gen GT ;____;
We made it.

Yeah same here, this really puts me offWait, that campaign. Everyone assured me this was just GT7.
If this isn't a real GT then we probably won't get a real GT this generation. I'm like genuinely sad right now. Yeah same here, this really puts me off
What constitutes a "real" campaign? Don't you want more variety than just typical dull GT races? Also there are races in the campaign.
All the ways in which they have promised to reform the Gran Turismo formula, and this is what they choose to leave in? Does anyone have any desire to get their B, A, IA and S licences all over again via a bunch of naff driving tests?
.Even at the height of my GT fever as a teenager, completing the tests were just a slightly annoying means to an end of taking part in better races.
That aside, the game itself looks *gorgeous* and I can't wait to play this, especially after I stepped away from GT6 to take a break.
Wait... on first page I wrote that there's 50 events in the Driving School category. That's wrong lol. Edit: For reference the post was just quoted above.
First of all, there isn't 10 events in each row in that category.
Second, what I assumed was the final event of the category is just the final event of the Intermediate difficulty section. I had missed that there is also a Final annotation on the last Beginner event. So it's fair to assume that there's also at least one more category, "hard"/"experienced"/whatever, maybe even more than one more difficulty.

shaking effects/suspensions/tyres deformation not really realistics. car has no reaction geting hit from behind...
Yeah, this is much better than the endless parade of 3 lap races on the same tracks we see in other games. This is more reminiscent of GT's license tests, which I've always loved.
A typical GT campaign doesn't have to be dull. They could implement better AI, more dynamic weather, more meaningful tire degradation, refueling, pit strategy, damage, the list goes on. I'm guessing with GT Sport these weren't problems they were willing and/or able to solve.
Some people (not me, I only play online) were wondering if a traditional offline campaign with championships was still in. I guess that's what they mean: good ol' Sunday cup, All Star Championship, etc.
Anyway lol, I lost count of how many times I tried to explain on forums that there wouldn't be a traditional Career mode. It was the only thing clear* from the reveal back in May '16 - we even got a screenshot showing those kind of tests (challenge missions, race etiquette, etc.) and a new screenshot after the delay showing even more stuff.
Just a couple of weeks ago I got downvoted on the GT subreddit just because people can't accept it, apparently.
I hope this video can put people at peace with themselves/PD.
*clearer than other features such as weather (still not seen), livery editor (barely seen), etc.
Yep.

The tests and missions are some of my favorite parts of GT. The races against AI were never my favorite part. This looks perfect to me! Can't wait!

I guess this is the point where we give up on hopes of good sound (once again) and hopes that something had changed since the initial career reveals.

To be fair, we now have average sounds as opposed to terrible ones, a step in the right direction.
Fredrik

I guess I just want the usual career stuff where you start off with a crap car and work your way through the cups and eventually can afford a monster car. I've never thought those races were dull tbh. The license tests were dull though but not the actual races, imo.
This has a good chance of being a bit of a dud critically and sells wise, at least relative to GT expectations. If that happens then expect them to go back to the classic GT formula rather than this sports thing they're doing.
TheAdmiester

IMO I'd say they have a fair few steps left to hit average. I consider something like GTA 5's sounds to be average and GT sounds worse than that.

The sounds are very good. Where is that coming from?

Campaign is a bit different, but I'm willing to give it a chance, looks incredible time consuming though.

I'm getting a wheel and maybe a seat for this game! GT5/6 was my most played game last gen, the online racing was incredible if you drove clean.
Comes from being tone deaf and not even understanding nor being able to tell the difference between the growl of a V8 Vs the drone of a V12. I.e. don't even bother
