I had to travel for the holidays so didn't get a chance to check out the new update. Any thoughts? Can't wait to drive the rx7 and r34 again.

The GT League is pretty much what you'd expect from a traditional GT career mode and they even share the same championship titles with the older games. I've only tried the Clubman Cup and it looks like if people enjoyed the structure of old campaigns then they'll likely enjoy this, if they didn't then they probably won't here.

There are already videos out there going through the update.

Still no upgradeable parts for the cars, right?

You have always been able to upgrade your car it’s just now power/weight is simplified to using a slider. Suspension, transmission, and everything customizable before is still the same.

I'm going to sound incredibly psychotic right now but I really dreaded playing the game because of the removal of pressure sensitive face buttons from this iteration of the dualshock. I really don't like the trigger setup in racers because my hands always cramp up. I got the game for Christmas and finally popped it in last night and tried out the analog stick for acceleration and breaking but it didn't feel right. Maybe I should give it another chance but I also set up the old X and Square and rolled with that for a while. Even though it's digital, that's actually how the PSP version played so it's not that foreign to me. I'm sure it's been discussed already but I'm curious what control setups other people have been using.

So far the game is great, I'm just glad to have GT again. I was expecting a bit more on the graphics side for the PlayStation 4 debut of the series but it's fine for me. Really looking forward to digging into all the game has to offer.

I use triggers but also like analog sticks. If you got used to steering with a stick it won’t take long to get used to accelerating with it.

I love having triggers for gas and break as it feels natural to pulse/feather each when going through corners. I used to be all about the analog stick for break and gas but with that setup you can't break and gas at the same time, it's one or the other.

How good is the game for casual playing ? Is this is super hardcore simulation or can you play it bit more arcade style ?

They have promo 60 euro for 1 year of PSN+ GT Sport so I could get it cheaply.

It is quite casual and very forgiviong but you need to know the circuits and easy the throttle a bit coming out of corners with the more powerful cars. But if you use high traction control lyou can abuse the throttle. And you can even have more aids like steer assistance and brake assistance making it very arcadey.
It is very casual compared to games like project cars. Get it, it really is steal for that price.

Since it opened in 1970, Tsukuba has hosted many big events such as the All-Japan Touring Car Championships and has become a benchmark for rating the performance of automobiles by the media.

It was a thrilling event marred by some behind the scenes shadiness. Look forward to more as I’m sure improvements will happen
