EDIT: welp, top of the page. Remember, the demo unlocks:
- at 12:00am PT for US PS+ members
- at 06:00 pm PT for US non-PS+ members
- at 10:00 (BST) | 11:00 (CEST) for Europeans (all)



Just came in the thread to say Tokyo at night is beautiful.

Motion blur is stellar

Thanks! Do time trial leaderboards work without ps plus?

I do not like to race online but I enjoy competing in time trials online :).
I believe they do, not sure. Blog article didn't specifically say "leaderboards", but said time trials would work without Plus

EDIT: welp, top of the page. Remember, the demo unclocks tomorrow 6:00pm PT | 10:00 (BST) | 11:00 (CEST)

It unlocks at midnight PT tonight in the US for PS+ members, the 6 pm PT time is for non-PS+ downloads.

EU peasants like me will have to wait until 10:00 BST like you said :)

The servers don't go up till tomorrow for Europe and the day after for NA I think.

This is a preload for a demo.

No, it opens for NA first.
 
Servers down for everyone?

BTW..Jezus..these guys know how to sell a racing game. Been exclusive to Forza series for years.
It's that they're not up yet. They could probably have put up a better error message, lol.

Sony has apparently been sandbagging for months how much they've been dying to show this off. The demo being a full size download is clever as it'll encourage a lot of digital purchases.

You're right, I read that wrong! Gonna edit now.
Why did they even put the Plus requirement in US?

That makes a lot of sense, and basically got my $60, just need to give this a test run.


It's tonight at midnight for you guys.

I haven't been this hyped for a racing game since GT5, and all the pre-release madness that bought with it. But to be frank, I just can't get over so many of this game's content choices, despite how hyped I am for this game. It is absolutely infuriating and bewildering.

For example, we have the R8 LMS GT3, which was one of the very first cars seen in the original announcement trailer back in 2015. Where is the road car version of it that it's based on? Nowhere to be seen. Same goes for the Beetle. We have this PD original creation for Gr.3, but there's no playable production model? Where did they get the data for it then, if the road car is not in the game?

Then we have other models in the Gr.3 category that PD have gone to the trouble of making cars for it based on real-world road cars. Why did PD need to go to the trouble of making a C7 Gr.3 and an NSX Gr.3 WHEN THEY ALREADY HAVE REAL-LIFE GT3 CATEGORY SPEC CARS BASED ON THEM AVAILABLE TO MODEL.

Don't even get me started on PD's insistence of cramming in their largely hit-and-miss original tracks over real-world circuits in an FIA APPROVED AND ENDORSED GAME.
Dragon Trail is by far and away the best circuit they have made on HD consoles though, I will say that.

I can only hope that Kaz keeps to his word and provides us with regular updates because for as jaw-dropping as this game looks the content this game is looking to ship with is underwhelming considering how long into the gen we are and how far the genre has come over the space of a few short years; "bubububu HD cars" is not a valid excuse anymore.

Yes, the support for GT5 and GT6 was pretty good, considering (if memory serves) it was all free with the exception of Spa and the first car pack for GT5. However, with only Kaz's trademark hollow promises to go on and no season pass announcement or roadmap (excuse the pun) of post-release DLC I expect this aspect of the game to be ripped to shreds come review time, and deservedly so.
 
I hope you're in Pacific time zone and not Eastern, since I now got your hopes up about playing at midnight :p


East Coast..I is Cry 😢

Really want too see what they have been cooking, and it was built for PRO in mind i believe..the demo promo already looked stunning.

Very sorry, GTR.

I guess you can sleep well knowing that it will be ready for you when you wake up tomorrow, the same that I'll be doing here in Euroland.

Love how all your posts regarding to GT follows the same pattern.
Pattern? Yes I like camera shake. Sorry if it annoys you if I want to know if it's in or not. I don't have the beta and I've seen videos with shake but some say it's justVR while others say they think it's a menu option.

Is there any good reason for that? Always seems like an odd omission along with Seat.
No idea, it's VAG's low budget brand so that might be it I guess. Not the typical racing cars either I guess. But I'd love to tune the crap out of a 2011 Skoda Superb! ;)

Why is the HDR max brightness slider in the display settings set to 4 by default? Isn't that one supposed to go to 10?

Game is mastered for up to 10000 nits, and current high-end displays cannot even reach 2000 nits.

You can put that scale anywhere you want, but your display will regardless start clipping when receives too bright data.
 
I have Logitech DFGT, but couldn't find GIMX in my country. if I want to buy a whole new wheel for PS4. does Thrustmaster T150 an upgrade from DFGT or are they around the same level? should I not bother with T150 and really try to look GIMX from overseas or start looking for T300? although I'm not sure I can justify the price for T300.

most of HDR displays can't even reach 1000 nit in real scenes(ks series, Q series, sony ex9000 and lower, all OLEDs). So, do you think we(exept ex930/40/z9 owners) need to set slider by 1/10?
 
Really wish there was a 30fps option to play with the motion blur and other effects in the replays!

It is! Can't believe I'm staring at loading screens, but here I am!
