And it's not like there's no single player. Just the career is different. I'm totally cool with just picking a track and a car and some options, and going.
Glad this finally got a date and I will probably buy it eventually. But, its competitors offer more of just about everything, including dynamic weather (and seasons in PCars2) and changing track conditions. GT looks like more of the same old shit but with better graphics. Curious to see what the experience is like playing online with randoms though. If that's an improvement over the others my purchase is guaranteed.

I don't think this is true...there are full blown races I believe, and some challenges leading up to them.
I have a feeling that if you aren't particularly interested in racing online, you may find the single player component lacking.
The game has the 'sport' moniker for a reason, and there is a reason it isn't GT7.
They could alleviate this somewhat if the game had a custom championship creator, maybe the arcade mode will be more robust this time round?

The key to online in the beta has been "behave and you get to race other people that behave." You get a sportsmanship rating from E to S that adjusts over time. This is separate from your skill rating. The idea being that you can be matched by skill + sportsmanship at the same time. Works well in the beta. Generally I hate competitive online but I found it pretty easy to settle in to. You pick a car, set a qualifying time for grid position, and the matching has been solid even with a relatively small player pool.
Race clean and race smart and you'll play with other randoms that do. I haven't been able to get over the fear of getting hit at every corner yet, despite the fact I know it won't happen in my races. That's a gaming instinct I may never grow out of! Between ping + input latency people can typically follow at about a half second without risk of contact assuming the drivers know the track, know braking points, etc.

Now, that's how you do lighting in a tunnel.....Best graphics in a racer.....that lighting in general and those night time races really bring out how ahead of the curve PD is...October 17th can't come soon enough.
Yeah, I've watched a fair amount of beta footage on YT, but do wonder how long it will take to separate serious racers from those that love to cause mayhem at turn one when there are millions of people playing. Is there anything to prevent brake check collisions and other such shenanigans from affecting your rating?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm in for this. The extras in the other editions don't do much for me though. I'll just stick with the base game.
I'm ready!

It is odd....I am assuming marketing will kick in a bit more now closer to release? The franchise has been oddly manager for sure.

Totally going to be unfinished on release. Cue 40 patches totalling 63GB.
My optimism for this game is at an all-time low. Like scraping the barrel low. I also think it will absolutely tank in reviews.
Let's see!

The PS VR logos ruin the cover art. Leave that info on the back of the box alongside other useful information.
Yeah, they should totally make PSVR owners check the back of every box to search out games that offer support. Great idea!
I figure once they have a hard set of marketing points and a gold disc in-hand, they'll be putting real weight behind it. It might be as simple as PD being nose to the grindstone and at odds with a gunshy marketing department (they had announced the release for last year, and a lot of promo materials were made up for that before the last slip).

In day 1, though PD has disappointed me for over a decade so we'll see.
I forgot you had a heavy amount of money invested in PD.

Seriously. People are already crying enough about Sony "not supporting" PSVR.

Is this real life ??
Yep, it would be silly for Sony to adopt a "Figure it out, stupid" approach. If someone walks into a store, sees GT Sport and notices that it can be played in VR that person might just pick up Sony's (relatively) new VR unit.
Appalling circuit list. The worst in franchise history?
Spa-Francorchamps - I mean, how could you not?
La Sarthe - with Bugatti variants
Silverstone - for history
The rest can come along as free DLC, hopefully Seattle first, then Red Bull Ring and then whatever.
It's from Gran Turismo 5...when Kaz was experimenting before complainers came along. Aching to see how this procedural tech would have come along by now.

Based on the Beta...doubtful. it is very polished already.

Doubtful that it will be as bad as I fear?
Even with PD nailing their usual driving physics, and some gorgeous graphics, Sport is going content-lite and the reviews, IMO, will crucify it for that. Not to mention nuking SP and leaving it as some shell of what GT used to be. Finally, that coupled with the mind-blogging length of dev cycle. There is the "shhh, franchise that will not be named", that just treats gamers better than GT and it's obsession over "professionals". Kaz had the balance way better in the PS1/PS2 days. GT5 was good, just a bit broken, but the turning point overall for Kaz becoming crazy Kaz.
GT6 just scraped into the 80's for MC. I expect this in the 70's. No, MC is not the end all and be all, but it's still a reflection of how something like GT falls down the ranks and pretty graphics and tight physics aren't enough to save the overall package. However, sure, in the minds of some where that's all that matters it's good enough, and that is fine.

How do you know it is content lite? Treats gamers better? What does that even mean? There are 100 + SP events....

Not for 'Sport' it isn't.

Cars/tracks and content being taken out that was in 5/6. The "it's not really 7, it's Sport!" doesn't pass in my books. Not with the dev cycle length between 6 and Sport.
Nah, we're being thrown some barebones challenge screen from the looks of it.
It's fucked MC wise anyway, but yes, lingering feelings in reviewers heads are not going to help Sport.
Kaz and PD are car museum connoisseurs. Brilliant professionals, and probably some of the smartest car folk around. While GT still makes bank, they are unfortunately continuing to do damage to the franchise with all this mismanagement/unfocused vision.

Meh I would just wait for more updates...You don't have any idea of the changes to campaign mode, how MP is weaved into the game, and generally how it's going to be received. Casual players might love just messing around with Scapes or something.
I think it's gonna sell/review well personally, especially if they beef up the campaign.

GT will always sell well, largely thanks to the powerhouse legacy of GT1~4. Props to PD for that. However, recent times for GT and PD have been testing and critically and even sales wise they have been on the decline.
I'm just completely unconvinced GT Sport is going to change that considering GT6 came out in 2013. 4 years later we're seemingly getting something that's equivalent to the first racing game a studio has ever released, content wise. They can say the 7 was dropped due to "rebranding/refocus", but I think it's more a case of project mismanagement and Kaz's focus being all over the place. PD need a project lead/manager to reign Kaz in.
Sony doesn't do much because yes, GT still makes bank, and Kaz has so much respect shrouding him for being an absolute car genius and probably one of the most important people of the PS1/PS2 era. Competition gets better though, GT is finding that out.

Well, a GT w/o Grand Valley or Trial Mountain is like Trump without Twitter, so there's that. From those left, the answer for the 3rd one should be obvious.

That's odd. I actually used the web store to search for it, if that helps.

While we're at it, let's put this on the front cover as well.
Let's not make fans of online multiplayer games check the back of every box.
So as much as "more is better" with something like car selection, 175+ cars is still totally solid in terms of the number of vehicles people are likely to actually use, and decent even for collection/completion's sake.
I VASTLY prefer a trimmed down selection now that it means quality consistency. GT5/6 had some real nonsense with limitations for tuning/camera views and jarring visual quality differences on legacy cars, which were half those game's car content. They're listening to a lot of feedback.

Only PS VR is a new platform there is a reason it's on the front.
It really doesn't matter that much, and they need to promote PS VR, that's just how simple it is.
