Wait, i just read that Sophy is not available for every track and car in all modes. Its better than nothing and a very solid update for ai but i thought it would replace the current ai entirely.
"the new GT Sophy mode is part of the World Circuits menu. Nine of the game’s tracks will now feature a new selection within “Quick Race” (which replaces “Arcade Race”) that will allow you to pick a race with GT Sophy.
The game will select which cars Sophy will drive based on the vehicle you’ve chosen, and it’ll be able to use more than 340 of the cars in the game for the race. Interestingly, PD notes that this will allow players to race against Sophy with almost 95% of the cars in the game — meaning that around 20 cars aren’t eligible for these events, although we’re not yet sure which."

I was really disappointed that the VR update (v1.29) increased stuttering, LOD/shadow pop-in, and other image quality issues.
With the inclusion of a 4-player mode, I'm hoping they have worked out the kinks with the rendering pipeline. *crosses fingers*

Yes, but they should have snow deformation like Motorstorm had (or like Sega Rally had PS3/Xbox 360).

Remember that it has to run also on ps4 at 60fps, im not sure the console it's able to run it smoothly with such feature. Visually looks stunning tho

Nice, I have to try it! I really dislike GT7 3rd person camera. Even if you adjust it in the settings, it just doesn't feel right. It looks like the world is turning around your car, it's weird.

Sure, on default settings the rear view is insanely stiff and feels unnatural. But with Chase View Camera Sensitivity to 1 and Chase View Rotation Centre Offset at 0 this I a non issue for me.

It is for me. Every other racing game does it better. I'm curious what adjustment they made in this new patch.

They only adjusted the height of the camera for some cars which have been to low previously. Nothing else. If you found it stiff with the settings I mentioned you will still feel like this after the update.

IMO If they do it - they do it right and realistic, not for the just showing (like Forza always do)

Te new AI it's a joy to race with. The awarness it is so much better compared to the standard AI, also the rubberbanding,random mid cornering braking and very sow corner exit are things of the past. Also when im battling other cars i loose a lot of time compared to the first two positions when with the old AI i would gain a lot of time regardless the situation.
Ah and the LFA it's a blast to drive and hear

When GT Sport was released, I went all out, buying a Playseat and the official GT wheel. It was an amazing experience. It felt so realistic, that it actually affected my driving in real-life. I had a blast playing online for several weeks.
That whole kit cost around $800, and that was a lot to invest in one game for me at the time. I returned or sold all the gear, but kept trying to play the game. It was never the same. I think I played for a few days with controller and gave up for good.
In the years since then, I tried GT3 on PS2 with a relatively cheap, used Logitech wheel. Again, it was very fun and felt great. I had to move my PS2 to the bedroom, and couldn’t find a good way to use the wheel there. Again, I tried the game with a controller, and again I quit the game.
GT7 releases with supposedly good controller feel with Dualsense haptics and all that. I tried the game for a week or so, but it just felt so empty. The fantastic memories of GT Sport made this experience feel bland. Sold the game.
With this game update (and much more spending money), I am going back in 100%. Playseat Challenge with Thrustmaster GT wheel arrives today. If this isn’t fun, nothing is.

After that, upgrade to VR.
To be honest I prefer the controller. Dualsense is excellent with this game especially with motion control. In fact I find I'm faster with controller. Changing got me up to driver rating A.
Can't be bothered to bring out my wheel either.

No controller can ever match a really solid racing wheel. Last I owned one was the official Xbox 360 wheel with FM 3. It was easily the best experience I’ve ever had in a racing game. I won and competed way more than I ever could on a controller.
Surely YMMV can vary in this point. I found that dualsense is excellent here. I've had 3 wheels over the years, all very good too. I'm not going to be a pro esports driver. Im just here to have fun.

u can buy a https://www.brookaccessory.com/-Ras1ution/list.html that allows u to use any wheel on any recent console.
well except on microsoft's since they started banning non licenced controllers and addons starting next week.

It's not a Starfield thread
Same here. SSR reflections are perfect for racing game because car is always on center if you use chase cam - you won't see SSR glitches like in other games.
I'm a fan of RT on PC but in this game 60fps mode is just better and it looks amazing still.

Combine that with PS VR 2
Trust me, I’d love to. It’s $850 CAD after taxes. I don’t think I can stomach that for just one game.
