| Dante9 said: I enjoyed Gran Turismo 1-3 but then dropped out. It became very repetitive. Graphical improvements, but basically the same cars, the same races, the same tracks and whatnot. Once again, it doesn't seem like much has changed apart from resolution and performance. They said they have been taking the best features from all the previous GT games, so I'll have to see what kinds of things are included. I don't remember which GT it was where you could look at adverts for old, used cars and buy them. There were some really old, rare and shady cars that you could customize and play around with, that was a fun feature on top of all the new and shiny cars. |
GT Sport had a lot of car porn as well, checking out the Jaguar XJ13 in VR
These special classics were 20 million credits though (and can't be purchased with real money). The reward for grinding to max credits. Or if you got really lucky you could get them in the daily workout spin.
GT5 has the used car dealer shop, GT Sport only had safety car versions you could get with mileage points with different selections over time.
GT Sport actually did have some excellent new original tracks like Dragon Trail: Seaside an Kyoto driving park, as well as new real world additions that never featured in GT before. The main complaint about the track list was not having more of the previous tracks in GT Sport!
GT Sport started fresh, new engine, new assets made for native 4K and HDR (rec.2020, up to 10K nits) so it was already designed for PS5. TVs that can display all that GT Sport has to offer still don't exist. Which at least means that all cars and tracks can easily move over and be displayed at higher lod on ps5. A pro (more tracks/cars at release) and a con (a lot of exact same content). But it allows GT7 to release 'early' for a change.
It will be fun to play the rpg lite campaign again, which was missing in GT Sport. But I hope PD also improves the online sport mode and maybe add dynamic time/weather later, at least for the Nurburgring, Sarthe and Spa. I love doing endurance races with real time weather there. One of the most fun races I did was a multi-class endurance race (lobby organized) at night
Those 3.5 hours were over in a flash, managing fuel used and tires, planning pit stops ahead, overtaking lower class cars along the way. Doing this with real time and dynamic weather and many more cars on track is my dream race. (Add VR and you'll never see me again lol) Maybe one day.
