Welp... the scapes and the race demo are the most visually impressive thing I’ve seen in games. Best HDR implementation too.

It’s really wild, even from the menu, i get a sense that GTS was a labor of love from Polyphony. The obsession to detail is nuts. Hoping this impression of mine rings true for the actual game.
 
The improvements PD have made in the last year are insane, the demo from the start until now has seen a very good jump. I genuinely don’t understand how they ever thought this game would release last year but fuck me, the base game just looks so good.

It’s really easy for me to drop my £46 on this game because it’s going to be supported for a long time to come, there ain’t gonna be another PS4 GT after this. Cannot fucking wait for this game to release!

And let's not forget what it once looked like

It's really seen one of the most dramatic upgrades I can think of.

GT is always a labor of love for Polyphony. It's just that the labor hasn't always been invested in areas which players care about the most. I'll reserve judgment until I actually get to play the demo.

It should not be lost on anyone how proud and confident Polyphony is about their work. They walk you through a careful display calibration before anything else when launching it for the first time.

And the Scapes mode also tells a story - “we’re so confident in our models, lighting and shading that you may place these models over real-world photographs and share them with anyone you’d like”.

What marvelous thing they’ve done. I can’t stop looking at it.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
How the fuck do I play this? Is it Always Online? Can't do anything from the main screen, and says the servers down.

fake edit... oh this shit doesn't unlock til the 9th.

So I just pre-loaded a demo.. strange days we live in.

How do you mean "upgrade?"

These features were likely planned for the graphics all along. Maybe it should be called "it was still in development."

They certainly didn't just magically figure out in the last 9 months or so how to conceive an infinitely better looking game. It's Polyphony, I can't believe people still doubt them on graphics. They did amazing with the limitations of PS2 and PS3. This is the same dudes who got 1080i @ 60 fps on the PS2 for crying out loud.

Self reflections aside these are basically indistinguishable from real photographs.

I totally expect PD to be able to deliver lighting this quality in-game on ps5.

And I'm actually considering grabbing a pro and a 4k HDR display for this. For a screen saver.
I don't even care about the game, give me more replays, photomode and scapes.

I'm just simply talking about how much better it looks now compared to then. Obviously they were never going to allow it to release in that state. But the visual jump from then to now has been massive. Seemingly moreso than many even thought it would be going by how people are reacting to how polished it looks.

This game is something else...
Im using a standard PS4 with a 1080p plasma TV, and it looks stunning, cant imagine how this looks on a HDR set with a ps4 pro. Nuts.

Seems you can continue playing once it releases.

The fact that this was their first public showing is completely bonkers.

It's like that 14 year old girl in school with braces that you never thought you'd ever fall in love with. And then it transforms into the hottest college teen around.
 
The bit that blows my mind is about six minutes in. They basically show like a clay model, and then pan beyond it to show you the final build. It's such a lovely, thoughtful little touch that really demonstrates the passion of the team.

Didn't even notice that before lol. Attention to detail is truly impressive.

Despite some of the negativity about the changes this game has made to GT, if the rest of the game is as polished as this, it should be a brilliant online racer. Looking forward to the review.
 
I should buy the digital version so it's always ready to play, just to watch some replay anytime...

I have the limited steelbook edition preordered but I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll be swapping it for digital deluxe, if only because I hope the dynamic theme is bonkers.
