That aside GTS is a games as a service game with  DLC s so it will continue generating revenue.

I was waiting to get a pro for this game (terrible aliasing on OG ps4) and so im getting the game this or next week for not even half the price. Happy i waited :D

 

DLCs in GTS were never announce future DLC to be paid DLCs. I can see that changing now though, if they’re really forced to sell the game for cheap.

Absolutely cant confirm you’re terrible antialiasing myth for GTS on base PS4. It looks pretty smooth on my TV (no 4K TV). Most reviews also pointed out the good AA solution in the game.

Yeah man, 30-40 is great price for the game. I can’t believe people complain about value anyway when they had 100+ hours of fun with the game.

If you look at sport like it's a prologue you should love it. It's on sale for $30 now so it's priced like a prologue for now at least .

I actually got it as a gift, just waiting for it to arrive. I'm more interested in all the online competition aspects. I liked the events in GT5 and 6, but they never really were the main aspect of the game for me. I hope GTS can offer a compelling online experience. And that depends mostly on matchmaking and being able to set up players with similar skills (getting obliterated by pros is not fun while destroying noobs also becomes boring).



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Then you have the championship rounds, 2 each night except Tuesdays (server maintenance, can't play Tuesday nights). Races start on the hour, you can join one per night. It all depends on the hectic 10 minute, 20 car on track qualifying round, how well you will do. The championship rounds are simply longer versions of the normal races (20 minutes, not that long) with 20 cars on track. More chances to get penalties! You get points at the end which are still a mystery to me.  (Got 189 points for a win, 1230 points for placing 5th, err) Not that it matters, after 3 weeks it's still only test rounds and means nothing.

 

The points you get are dependant on the ranks of the players you compete with in the race. The higher the ranks of players behind you the higher your actual score!

Yes I know but I was DR rank C in both cases. It's just luck who you get matched against, next to 'creating' luck during qualifying. Getting the right drafting opportunities makes all the difference in qualifying which doesn't make much sense. On the longer tracks you also have only 2 or 3 chances to set a qualifying time, get screwed by another player a few times and that's it. Add to that that the spaced out rolling starts and harsh penalties for touching heavily favor starting position for how a race gets decided. You already start 20 sec behind first place at the back of the pack.

My problem with it is that the penalty system is dampening the fun. I was having a great race with another person swapping places at every turn, however occasionally that involves a harmless bump for which both get punished over and over. So he decided to stick behind instead until the last corner and not attempt overtaking anymore. It saps the fun out of it and defeats the whole point of getting into even matches with clean drivers.

I hope the penalty system gets fixed and starts to correctly identify who is cutting off who. You can still gently push people off the road for no punishment. When you enter a corner side by side and the other person doesn't stick to their line, you end up getting punished as well. Brake checking needs to be fixed. As well as getting punished for someone else hitting the wall or cutting a corner and hitting you. Plus of course the classic getting hit from behind at a corner sending you into a wall or cutting the corner for both a downranking and time penalty.

As it is now, SR rank is not creating better drivers. It's just telling people not to get near each other.
