Support NeoGAF

[JetSetRadio]

Core gameplay is great obviously, but it's not too crazy to expect a realistic damage model or AI that isn't dumb as fuck. VR and possibly the online portion might make it more interesting than let's say a GT6 remaster on PS4.

 

[LordOcidax]

Only 140 cars and the tracks looks......Not what i expected... Looks like Polyphony lost their mojo on that department. Still Day 1, i love the driving physics of GT.

 

[Papacheeks]

Also 60fps

Yes.

Forgot that too. And I think the landscapes look great, not to mention how many racers are on screen at a time while playing online.

I think they made some good compromises. And probably have a NEO Mode or something for those who want better looking cars.

Or they made sacrifices for 60fps and day one VR?

 

[GHG]

Apparently this topic triggers you, but I never said they tried to do the same thing, I said I don't see myself buying two racing games.


You've certainly demonstrated this.

Then what's the point in the comparison?

It's like me saying I won't drink any water today because I've already had some Coca Cola.

 

[mrklaw]

If you want the crap looking GT6 cars, stick to GT6 buddy. PD doing the right thing with GT Sport, all cars have equal attention paid to them from the start. This seems to be a very focused game without bloat, feels like PD went back to their GT3 routes and it's the best game they've made.

No talk of weather though, fuck knows what's happening there but meh I'm buying this Day 1 no matter what.

GT6 had over 400 premium cars. I'd be ok with leaving behind the standards, but why ditch 250 premiums?

 

[daveo42]

eh, visually it didn't blew me away because its just car porn...like every GT game has been since 3.

maybe im just getting old

Same, though since it will be running solid 60 (for PSVR), it's not that surprising. It doesn't have the same level of visual pop as Driveclub, but it still does look real good from a car porn perspective. Especially that photo mode, which is at some sort of god-tier at this point.

I'm gonna put a car on the moon if I can.

 

[kanuuna]

hehe, engine sounds masked by a music track.

yep

yep

Hopefully some B-roll of proper gameplay will come out of this event.

On the topic of audio, aren't Sony able to utilize work from their other properties when it comes to that (ie. Driveclub)? I imagine Polyphony uses different methods for recording their cars, but still - that'd be good reference material if they have the rights to use those.

Also some pretty nasty aliasing in that trailer.

 

[GeoramA]

Wow, Sony usually avoids November. But it still should do really well.

GT3 was their worst one, IMO. It was just for eye candy really. GT2 and GT4 were better. Especially 4, it was GT3 with lots of content.

 

[Papacheeks]

My concern is with the content. Hopefully they look at Driveclub as how to do it well.

 

[Big Green Anus]

It honestly does not look good Is this actually Gran Turismo 7 or would there be an actual Gran Turismo 7?

I would if GT6 got a Remaster on the PS4. Unpluged PS3 some time ago and it's hard to get back.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

From Eurogamer:

Right now, though, it doesn't look to do much with that foundation - to an untrained eye (albeit one that's poured countless hours into Gran Turismo 6) it's hard to tell the difference

Preview is a joke

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Hm, I think the trailer looks pretty spiffy.

 

[Crazy eyes]

 

[MaDKaT]

Im down, mostly for PSVR. Been a fan for a while, through all the ups and downs, and will likely try for the collectors edition. Don't care if it ends up looking like a spruced up GT6. As long as it runs smooth and looks good on PSVR Im good.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

The hyperbole on this thread is nuts...jesus people just look at the screenshots and let's wait for some gameplay video or, now just hear me out, I may be crazy, let us play the game before rendering a verdict.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

From Eurogamer:

Preview is a joke

Umm... what?

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I'll still get the game, just not preordered. They need to improve those sounds first. That photo mode looks insane with the amount of options though. Will spend tons of time doing that and livery editing.

 

[terrible]

I'm getting it as always. I still want to know if the sound is crap still and I'm curious how light the game is on content though.

 

[LordOcidax]

Or they made sacrifices for 60fps and day one VR?

Welp.. thats a shame if true.

 

[jmaine_ph]

From the gameplay trailer it looks good and it's running at 60fps? Nice.

 

[msdstc]

I can't help but think that's why some of the graphical problems people are noticing in the screens are there. They can't go wild n out cause of VR.

Am I crazy, or is it just not as visually impressive as this series used to be?

Diminishing returns? Perhaps games like Driveclub and Forza are helping take some of the luster away, maybe? I'm not sure.

I've been saying this forever now. Ever since Sony mentioned vr for gt I said it would be a major mistake. The amount of sacrifice that will be required to have the game run in both vr and regular efficiently will be significant.

This is damaging to the gt brand and raises questions about PD ability to the average gamer. Gt is known as a visual showcase for PlayStation and this will disappoint. It may be awesome for vr users such as myself, but for the average gamer this I'd going to disappoint and it appears on a visual level it already has.

 

[Brutalitops]

It's like me saying I won't drink any water today because I've already had some Coca Cola.

You really are this surprised at the mention of a racing game released in the proximity of another racing game by a person who intends to buy just one and thinks one doesn't look particularly impressive?

Are you assertions about the cost of vr coming from any point of authority or knowledge?

Or they'd simply lower the detail when you play in VR. Why would they compromise the entire game?

 

[Zemm]

From what I've heard or read from the other GT thread. Sounds are still same sounding in gt6. I hope they address the sounds.

That is hugely disappointing. The thought of hearing that pathetic "thud" sound when cars hit each other or the poor sounds of the cars themselves is almost enough to put me off buying it, almost, we'll see.

 

[sacrificengineer]

I'm glad they are starting over with car roster, adding livery editor and maintaining career mode in this clearly motorsport-oriented game. Very interested.

 

[Schryver]

Photo mode looks insane. Graphically looks good not great I guess but it is 60fps. Saying it looks the way it does because of VR seems strange. Wouldn't it be better to somehow tone down the graphics settings for VR mode because obviously not that many people will have a headset...Maybe they will do that and this is the best version of how it looks?

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

Is this going to take advantage of the PS4K's additional power?

 

[msdstc]

Common sense. You can't simply lower detail with a slider like PC first off. For instance drive club is almost an entirely different game. The amount of cars allowed per race had to be lowered, maps reworked, effects turned off.

This game was built from the ground up to include vr. With that in mind there will be significant sacrifice. I'm not a tech guru like some on this site, but its been made clear, with the limited power significant sacrifices will be needed in order to run a game in vr.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Sorry if been answered but does it have VR support at launch?

unless you buy a Neo?

What do you know about Forza Horizon 3 to be able to come to that conclusion then? Has it even been announced?

 

[diffusionx]

This looks underwhelming, but GT has been underwhelming for a long time now.

I am glad there won't be PS2 car models in here, though.

I think VR is fucking them up. Should have allowed them to just focus on doing the normal PS4 game.

 

[Brutalitops]

Nothing and never stated I did, however as you'll find in my initial post my belief is that Turn 10 are now more reliable than PD so based on that my expectation is that even if it's as good as Horizon 2 it would be my purchase this year.

Obviously this could all change if for some reason H3 looked bad but recent history suggests that's unlikely.

 

[blu]

Some of the shots in that trailer looked disturbingly sterile (tarmac, scenery). Let's hope the game plays better/has better physics than it looks.

 

[c0de]

Well, the trailer was at least showing ps4 footage, for sure. But I think it will, at least with a later patch. Especially as this is a vr title.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Awyis. Thank you.

 

[Robbok]

Any news about the Beta?

 

[Audioboxer]

Neo mode at launch?! Oh yes.

Leaked docs say games from October need Neo mode. We'll see if that holds up though.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Any news about the Beta?

I believe Kaz said there will no longer be a beta.

 

[msdstc]

unless you buy a Neo?

Honestly I don't think it matters. I think if all platforms meaning neo, ps4og, and psvr are to run it, the core game will have to be built specifically around that. Gt7 will be a visual masterpiece, gtsport is an attempt to bolster AAA vr support along with rigs.

 

[Jean Valjean]

Will have to see the Neo Version before buying.

 

[Foffy]

Any idea on what they've improved upon gameplay wise?

GT is rather infamous for dreadful car audio and AI, and greatly hindered my experience when I played prior GT games.

 

[xaeroxcore]

GT 6 (Bullshot)
http://



GT Sport (hopefully not bullshot)
http://


If what they have shown are not bullshots, GT Sport is going to look as the GT 6 bullshots in real time, with slightly better lighting. Not bad, specially for a game meant for VR. But still not a generational leap on visuals. If the scenario is worst, and the game looks like the real PS3 GT 6 at full HD/60... This is going to be one of the mayor dissapointments on the 1st party IPs of the current gen.

 

[DavidDesu]

Most of those "scapes" just look like real life photographs that you can place the cars into, which is pretty piss poor actually. Looks cool, but other than zoom in you can't do anything. Would rather fully rendered settings instead...


Honestly, that trailer seems disappointing to me. Not much better than GT6, indeed GT6 remastered more than anything particularly new.

I want to be hyped but mixed responses and that Eurogamer impression leave me a bit "concerned". Honestly if the game plays like GT6 with a few modern bells and whistles that would be fine, but if that sound is not massively improved... it truly puts me off. Playing Dirt Rally and my time with Project Cars before I traded it in showed exactly what modern racing games should sound like. If PD don't make amends on that front I'll be seriously disappointed.

 

[msdstc]

Again not a tech head, but I think people are in for a rude awakening regarding vr and how it will affect visuals if the resident gurus are correct about what they're saying.
