GT Sport E3 Build - Massive Upgrade

Wow this looks good. I don't know what happened in 2 months lighting , shaders , details all have improved considerably

Not all parts of the game are ready at the same time. Temp modules are used all the time, and then suddenly finished features start popping up, making the game much better.

Project CARS when through this. As a backer I had great insight into develpment, and last six months were really great. Especially optimization.
 
Holy crap the foliage!! THAT is the real upgrade from previous games. Also Willow Springs is the best looking version of any racer so far, it craps all over Willow Springs in PCars!!

So much crow being eaten now. 😂
 
Upgrade confirmed. Preorder cancelled.

I can't wait for this now that it's coming together. The most important part, physics, has been considerably upgraded and it has great graphics that surely aren't done. Now let's hope the damage model they have for this is decent.
 
Its amazing this thread isn't blowing up, they really did massive damage with that reveal. I guess most are probably overlooking the thread thinking it doesn't look good.

It's as if MS and PD followed the same PR/marketing lessons, such a shame really. But they can fix it at Gamescom and PGW.
 
Unfortunately people don't take into account Games improving, though in GTS's case the improvements have been massive in a very short space of time.

Not really.

That they wouldn't use the lastest build for racing events where they need a stable build with well-running netcode is kind of obviously.
 
I'm there day one with the rest of you guys. Just wish I had a wheel.

Title should add: "- much improved visuals"

I agree, someone change the title.

No, absolutely. They fucked up, they should have waited till the had a good build, but likewise people shouldn't pretend that the reveal was how the game was going to look upon release and unfortunately many took it that way.

The damage to GT was done a long time ago, just compare the GT6 threads to those of GT5, the franchise is a spent force due to the continuous fuck ups, just in the past weeks we've had:

cancelled beta

disastrous London event

esport focus confirmation

no car/bike porn in the E3 press conference to reach a wider audience


When will they learn? It's like Sony want the game to flop, And with what we know about the game so far that seems highly likely to me.
 
No it's not. The negative comments in May were thoroughly deserved based on what was shown then, just like the plaudits are thoroughly deserved now based on recent media.
Yup good point. Looked rough in earlier media in spots that of course got noticed and poured over as GT is a huge franchise with a market perception for pushing the envelope graphically.

Does look nice here though.

I don't think echo chamber NeoGaf is that important in that regard.
 
Will there be damage?

And it seems to me that there won't be a GT8 in the PS4, only this GT Sport and after 2 or 3 years (depending on how long they will support this GT Sport through DLC) the GT 7. GT8 for PS5 (or PS Neo).
 
Yo, this looks great!

Why did they ever think revealing it like they did was going to be OK? Should have just waited for E3.

Still not what i was expecting from a new gen GT but still...

They even fucked up the reveal trailer...

Dude this looks like sh** there no excuses. As much i love the series, this is disappointing

So, they actually dropped the racing line entirely for GTS. Kaz says it's because all those do is make you drive over them instead of actually learning the track. Instead they've replaced them with what they've called racing markers. There are three markers per corner. One for the entry, the apex, and the exit. All placed where you car should be if you take the corner properly. Here's a video showing it off

Am so happy about that actually. And they have the brake indicator that has been in since GT4.

Always tell people the best way to learn a racing game is to turn the line off.

Wow, this is awesome. This will probably be the most underrated and overlooked feature but it will do wonders for ppl trying to learn the tracks and race properly.

Game changer for sure. I hope other titles do this. The racing line is the worst thing ever to be introduced in racing games.
 
If anybody (rightfully) thinks that gifs can be deceiving, do yourself a favor and download the full video. It looks really great. SO much better than the reveal. I'm still bummed about the apparenly lacking SP, but the current videos redeem almost any other negative aspect from the builds before (sound could still be better).
 
I've converted the SHQ version to mp4 (it was mov before which sometimes doesn't work on standalone players) and put it up for download here. The streams should also look better than vimeo/youtube, but they are still being encoded.

It's the same video as the mov from the official site, so don't expect anything else :)

Is it just me or the engine sound and tyre sound is pretty decent, not great but definitely not ear hurting
 
No it's not. The negative comments in May were thoroughly deserved based on what was shown then, just like the plaudits are thoroughly deserved now based on recent media.

Well the negativity in May was highly exaggerated because we knew things weren't done and they were focusing on what wasn't the point of the presentation.

However the crow is definitely being eaten because all of those negative Nancy's were saying how PD always says it's not finished and nothing ever changes. Well it changed now, where are those scoffers now? You already know...
 
Wait, wtf is this? This looks like a GT game now, like a PD game.

We've got to spread the word, I had mostly written off this game if not the series.

Humility restored.
