I said what GTS beat Forza 7 in. That doesnt mean Forza 7 doesnt win in a variety of categories. I thought the post was clear, was it not?

I think GTS is doing its own thing.
But if those FM features are important to you, then wait a little.

Weather is coming, if alleged patch notes are to be believed...

While I agree on the lacking part compared to the past, motor sounds are far from mediocre this time.
Fixed.

Bullshit, why give them a chance to fix things that should be on the disc?
To start a lot of publishers do release incomplete and unplayable games. Also if anyone will play the title without the day 1 patch that is the version that should be reviewed lets not forget a small subset of gamers dont have net connected consoles so whatever is on the disc is what they are stuck with.
Movies are a bad comparison. No one is trying to fix a film after its in theaters, plus post release reviews are easier. Grab a 9:30am ticket and bam 2 hours later you can start working on a review and likely have it published before people get off work at 5.

"Couldn't play/test 90% of the game, return to form".
Chalk these reviews up to the review industry "we need day 1 clicks!" striking again. The reason devs and pubs turn off MTs for a few weeks.
"Informed reviews", 10/10, would read and base my purchase on again.

Man, nothing but love for Peter Brown, but, with that Tag Heuer complaint, it just sounds like he might not have been the best fit for official review.
Said it before in the Forza review thread; it's not like some of these critics don't have valid viewpoints, but, I'd rather wait for reviews from people who are legitimately into racing and know the sport, itself.

Why would non net connected gamers be playing an online centered racing game?

Is online access really an issue in 2017?

Youd be surprised by the amount of people that dont know the nature of GT Sport. Your average consumer probably hasnt paid attention to the complaints about Little single player content.
In the US? Yes.

It's an anomaly, but, I haven't been able to get online for more than 20 minutes at a time in my apartment. The wires went bad so we have to actually get the building re-wired. I basically won't be able to do much with GTS until it's done.
BBQ_of_DOOM

Thats a fair point, although I would hope theyd understand it by reading the back of the case. GTS leans into what it is, maybe even to its own detriment.
Sucks. Hope it's for load balancing and that they enable that stuff ASAP.
I hope reviews actually take into account the lack of a traditional campaign like in the past games and the problems with the meat being online with these server issues.

Going on a trip tomorrow and can't bring my PS4 😩 gonna be a long two weeks.
Glad it's getting good reviews, sounds like the online components can sustain the game. Hopefully the community doesn't go to shit with trolls and derankers and the like. Overwatch wore me down from that...

That didnt happened since 2006... even more true with games having strong online components that only goes up on release day.
So why bother to review incomplete games before releases?
Reviewers needs to face that write an artist vlw called review before the release of the game today is bullshit... it is basically a preview.
It's not the livery editor itself that is unavailable, just the SVG file decal import tool is held back.
?, servers have gone up for reviewers tons of time before the release of a game, heck even sony's last first party racer Driveclub let reviewers onto the servers

And that is why reviewers said DC servers were fine when it was not lol. They did a preview that didnt turned true at the launch of the game.
Pointless.
That mentally reviews needs to go up ASAP and even before the game release is what make the reviews so bad today.
Give time, enjoy the game and review it at your own time after release experiencing what the true/final game delivers.

Looks fairly good.
The servers were completely fine for reviewers before the game came out. It was after everyone was trying to get onto the server after launch that the servers went to crap

I know, that's what Gtplanet says, the uploader won't be available as well as a few other social features.
It's even worse in GTs case though as there is that review above that admits "90%" of the game was unplayable but here's our review anyway.
At least reviewers got to experience what DC should have been like once out to the public.

That was my point... reviews should wait release to accurate give a score for what it is... and not it should be (MCC, DC, etc).
All reviews may be done after the launch... that is my point for years.
WIP reviews is a step to the right path.

They have improved a lot from previous gt games, but that doesn't say much tbh. Play some Arsetto Corsa or project cars and you'll hear that even the improved sounds in gt are mediocre at best.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
#dealwithit
GT Sport being a longterm project I'm absolutely fine with that. Still waiting for the countdown timer to hit zero so I can jump in.
Sorry, misread the GTplanet quote as saying the livery editor was disabled.

You're right and in that case XB1X reviews are going to suck following that train of thought as they apparently all download the updated textures etc which are not on a disc.
This. Patched in?

you couldve just posted Scorpio and left the thread. Wouldve gotten the same point across.
Tremendous.
Audioboxer

I'd be careful about taking that as 100% confirmation rain is in the patch. Updating the cars first doesn't necessarily mean rain is ready to go just yet. I'm only saying before anyone tells me I'm wrong. Weather is obviously coming to Sport, but it's either been a struggle to get it working for day 1, or it's coming post launch like Driveclub.

No big outlet has a review out as of now.
Therefor I´ll be back when the actual reviews hit.
What exactly is your problem with that?

There's no way that most people playing GT games use a wheel.
Yes it's fine to play with a controller. It's a lot of fun. But if you're used to driving a real car then it's arguably more fun and immersive, with a while, and there are some relatively minor control benefits too (it's easier to control the car when you can really feel the feedback from the tires).

Yup, this is an important distinction.
Ascenion

You bother because someone in a case like this is gonna play that incomplete version. What you ship on that disc you should be proud of if anyone happens to play it just like that.
