Hnnnngh!! That looks amazing! I may have to re-download the beta and see what they've changed. I put about 10 hours into it and liked what was there but the slow pace of unlocks and being stuck with cars that were clearly outclassed online instead of cars I actually wanted to try made me decide to wait for the finished game. Knowing now that they are actively tweaking things and changing the handling model and the like make me want back in.

GT6 still looks quite good, but GTS looks incredible.

Even with that, still dramatic difference.

^ ^ 😵 I don't even....
Speaking of which, shouldn't some of these more modern cars have their brake lights flashing very fast, under hard (full braking)? It would be a cool thing to add to the sense of realism.
I think what GT Sport offers graphically above all other driving games is an unmatched sense of place, s sense of being part of environments that really feel like a tiny section of a vast world rather than just tracks with stuff around them.I saw this comparison of Willow Springs by emula on GTplanet

One of the things they offer in terms of environment is a real sense of space, a sense that there's actual air in the environments rather than it just being "stuff on the ground". For me, this is something that GT has achieved in GT 5 and GT 6 where they started introducing tracks like Willow Springs, Matterhorn, Circuito de la Sierra, etc and it was unmatched in those games but GT Sport makes them look terrible in comparison.
Although the lighting and materials are so often ahead of other games but there's something else that binds the environments together as a single connected world. I may even go as far as saying that this sense of place is unmatched in any other game, of any type.
Even with that, it doesn't mean that it's perfect graphically and I'm sure when I'm playing GT on the PlayStation 5 and I'll look back at these screens in exactly the same way as I do at the PS4 screens now. The exact same way as I did when moving from PS1 to PS2, PS2 to PS3 and PS3 to PS4.

The way the car moves, the shift in weight and tyre spin, looks so real. GTS drift videos are going to look amazing.

I do agree, but I just thought that the comparison was unfair, GT6 has some beautiful skies and I think the pic had too high exposure and saturation. GT6 can look better than in that screenshot.
Unknown?

Depends on the time of day, GT6 Willow Springs does look like that in game at that time of day. I think is around midday so it is a bit unfair of a comparison but not much.
Those replays. So good! The way the car moves around the track is so convincing.

Let's give GT6 a better sky
Nothing impressive about the PS4 version of GT6, the tracks have just been given the Suzuka calibre spruce up that they held back from the PS3 version

A bit more than just the sky but definitely a much better job than what I did.
Interesting that GT6 has the headlights already on at that time of day while the GTS doesn't have any headlights visible on the asphalt ...not even in the moving footage on Brands Hatch that takes place at a much later time when it's almost dark already.

GT6....doesn't hold a candle to GTS.....
nope, same thing.

Interesting tire marks...

Tries to achieve photorealism with the hardware it has. I think GT6 does a good job, but it's depicting the same area in completely different (simpler) lighting conditions.
Wish I could get an invite to the Beta. Neither my US nor EU account got anything in the mail.

Willow Springs was laserscanned before, they re-used the same tire-mark layer from GT6 in GTS, that's all (or maybe just parts of it).
It also actually looks better and more life-like than Dragon Trail or Tokio Expressway (haven't played it myself, just from the little YouTube footage I've seen) in regards of anything hinting at "track usage" and being "lived in". Might still be coming, who knows.
it's like they forgot to turn the lighting on in GT6
Or it's a different time of day, which looks a lot like what's in GT6.

Well, this is just amazing. PD should have shoved a contract down your pocket by now.
I love this so much.

EU beta here. I just participated in a race with a ping response time of 26 ms. In the past it was always 100+. Anyone else?

First thing I noticed: that's how a 911 handles and behaves (that little twitch from the back exiting the last turn). Awesome.

UKGaf...yea, much lower ping for me, but a fair bit of warping going on with it.
PodcastFips
Member
Yeah, warping for me as well. Maybe due to load on the new EU servers?
Certainly looks like it.

I love the Z4, but the roll cage obstructs way too much of your visibility for the car to be really usable in oval circuit races when playing in cockpit view. If only one could adjust the seating position.

I was just looking at something on Wikipedia and... it occured to me...
has anyone here managed to roll a car in GT Sport?

You can definitely flip them although they respawn relatively fast. I've done it a few times when overshooting corners on Willow Springs.

phew, ok. Just realized that I hadn't seen it.
If it's reset before the roof touches the ground, that's fine, I don't mind.
