Forums - Gaming Discussion - GT Sport: Sony Are Idiots

I gave up on Polyphony a long time ago. It's weird how a developer, who used to be such a big part of Sony's success and is working with huge budgets, manage to release such giant fuck ups ever since GT4. It's almost like they're being funded by Sony to travel the world, take pictures and sniff car porn instead of making an actual game. I mean seriously, how hard can it be to add better sound to the cars and it took them forever to finally improve that a bit. And now they release a game that took years to make with 25% of the content we see in other racers... It's embarrassing and I tell you what... sony should fire those lazy Japanese bums after this fiasco.

PC1 had less than half of what GTS have, isn't it another racer? NFS haven't gone over 50 cars as far as I can remember, is it not a racer as well?

GT5P sold 5M, GT5 sold 12M, GT6 sold 6M... are you sure Sony is financing PD or does PD pay dividends to Sony besides pushing consoles?

You have done two comments asking then to close the studio haven't you? Are your hatred towards them even based on real world?

So you are unhappy that they left a dev that can make consistent 10M sellers alive while closing one that struggled to do 2M?

And let's see... GTS 4 years to develop with a team of 110-150 depending on the looking time... FM7 (third forza on the gen) taking 2 years with over 300 people on the team. What productivity are you exactly measuring?

Forza 7 took much longer to make. It’s essentially just an upgraded (even downgraded in parts) Forza 5. so they practically started production after Forza 4. It even uses car models from Horizon and all the DLCs. There is only ONE new track in it.

GTS decided to go full reset. And I applaud them for that. It’s the right way to go for the franchise. And it’s becoming more serious and less casual in the process, exactly the opposite of Forza.

@DonFerrari - So you want to live off the fact PD is a smaller company than Turn 10 and use that as an excuse for a incomplete game and sold at full price? If thats the case than GTS should be half price since it is less than half the game of its main competitor. Or are you paying full price for those amazing Pit Stops you were mentioning in your own thread when downing FM7? Just like i told you before, i prefer content over Pit Stops, something the majority seem to agree on.

@Errorist76 - FM5 was built from the ground up just like GTS was. You also have it the other way around. Turn 10 make the cars and PlayGround Games take them and use them into there Horizon Series. FH4 will take all the cars from FM7 and its a continued routine, there all freshly made on XB1 hardware basically no difference to what GTS is doing.

There IS a huge difference in detail. You’d know if you had played the game. The attention to detail PD are bringing to the table isn’t matched by any competitor. 

My argument still stands. F5 was kinda barren for the same reason. PD just did GT6 when T10 was already working on F5 for years.

And no, to me and many others, quality beats quantity any day of the week.

... that doesn't change the fact that it took PD four years to release half a game. And, to be honest, it's not even just the amount of content that is baffling, it's what they focus on. Making car porn instead of a fully featured Gran Turismo title. Feel free to disagree. Yeah, the franchise has always been car porn, with detailed history of cars and manufacturers in pretty much every game, and amazing looking replays. But it used to have this in addition to a deep single player offering, and no limits multiplayer, now that's gone, in the chase of esports nonsense lol.

Not disagreeing with you about the car porn, yet no limits multiplayer is still there. The lobby system is perfectly intact from GT5 and GT6 and has only been expanded upon with more customization options.

Deep single player offering is indeed a lot less deep. GT5 had procedurally generated rally stages and a track editor next to driving in changing light and weather conditions. GT6 ditched the track editor and endurance races. GTS so far is just racing in static conditions. Apart from the one wet night stadium track I've only seen dry conditions in daylight.

I've mixed feelings aout the whole thing. Driving feels better than ever, it's just as addictive as before, and it's the best looking racing game in HDR. The VR  offering however is a joke. Sony is currently bundling GT Sport with PSVR in Europe, are they idiots? Here's your brand new VR headset, but wait, first you must play on the screen to unlock more than the 3 starter tracks and starter car so you can tour around the tracks in VR with zero gameplay. Great advertisement for VR.

The campaign is fun so far, yet I'm already at 50% and haven't even been to the car showroom as the game is giving you so many cars I don't even want to look at the garage. There's no feeling of ownership over all those random cars. There's no feeling of progression either, one stage you're in a race car, the next in something that can hardly get up the hill and won't turn corners.

GT Sport is frustratingly good. And that's not meant as a compliment. I'm still itching to play more, just wondering what I'll do after finishing the campaign. Tour around in VR once it's all unlocked, see if multiplayer can get me interested, or go back to VR until they add more content.


Multiplayer is the heart of the game, always was. Even Inside Sim Racing said it’s the best implementation in any racing game yet, including iRacing! The campaign is just meant as preparation for the Multiplayer.

Odd glitch with the pro, the video output mode stays in wide color HDR when switching to Netflix, you can't change it as that will close GT Sport (and lose progress) So I watched DS9 an SD show displayed in wide color HDR. They had some very bright lights on that space station and extra bright colors. (It's the tv interpreting the signal as if it's wide color HDR, extrapolating the whites and widening the color range, it's like watching tv on shrooms) HDMI is awesome, not.

The always online will piss a lot of people... so you played on shrooms? kkk... well when I enable HDR and use netflix most content was on a very strange coloring and most times too bleached and to much light.

A long time ago, it enhances.distorts color, as wat happens when you enable deep color on normal content.
DS9 is a pretty dark and muted show color wise so it wasn't that distored. People did look like they aged a lot due to the high contrast in their faces.
Too much light indeed, I felt like I needed sunglasses every time the bright panel lighting was in view!

Btw people forget that GT Sport is made for bt.2020 color space. All the art had to be redone as all the existing art was made for rec.709 The game is displaying colors I've never seen come out of a tv set before. HZD dawn looks great too with HDR but the color difference with GT Sport is noticeable. I never thought I would say stuff like this: When you get a new random car, that color red from the selector is damn sexy. I don't care about the car, just show me that color again lol.

GT Sport is really future proof with HDR upto 10k nits and full bt.2020 support. My tv can handle max 5 on the logarithmic scale setting from 1 to 10, and displays 96% of dci-p3 color space which is still a subsection of bt.2020 (76% max). GT Sport is ready for the next generation of tvs. The question is, will the cost prove too much and will the franchise get irrevocably damaged by this reset for what currently still is a niche of niche.

Wow you act as if there competition falls way behind. But seems graphics are too important to some people. FM7 and PC2 are amazing games. They are filled with content and are worth there price tags. GTS isnt and thats the problem. You can continue to defend it thats fine. They will continue to offer you these type of games. 

Maybe you should read the IGN Review

http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/10/17/gran-turismo-sport-review

At this rate, FM5 > GTS and thats disapointing after 4 years of developement.

Nope I don't want to live out of anything. I'm just pointing that having less staff explain why they take a longer time. You don't even like simulation racing so stop pretending. I could care less about the pitstops, the discussion was about it being advertised and not implemented. What portion of GTS was advertised and not filled?

FM5 came with similar quantity to GTS while GT6 had a lot more, can you prove you criticized FM5?

You didn't understand my joke. I didn't took for real that you had been playing under shrooms, but thanks for confirming you were =p.

Well I have watched MadMen with HDR enabled and that was trying to put brightness to minimum it was still bleaking light.

On the color you seem right on the hard work to make they show right. Ars technica evaluation of 4KHDR only, pointed that he never saw so pleasant colors in any game ever. And commented on the Rosso Corsa of Ferrari and the strange yellow/lemon of a Toyota car that wouldn't really show right outside of GTS on HDR TV because games like Forza weren't fully commited to HDR.

So you mean the game isn't filled with content to justify you purchase right? Have you bought GT5 and GT6?

Read the ign review and I'm pleasently suprised as their previous review I saw was non-professional, they choose someone that like simulation and is giving a fair analysis to his liking and dislikes. But Errorist was going by the reviews of Eurogamer, Ars Technica, Red Bull, Racing magazine, and similar that looks objectively for what he cares not at reviews that look for what they think is important and people that doesn't even like simulation like you. Come again on how FH is simulator.

I dont have to like Simulations to comment about them, unless theres a forum rule that stats this let me know.

FM5 was barebones and deserved its reviews it got. FM7 is still a great game and earns its full price.

Errorist picks and chooses his reviews that suits him.. sounds legit. I am guessing there all the top 5 review scores.. i wouldnt be suprised.

You also laughed and made fun of FM7 pitstops and yet you are willing to except a half baked game because PD is half the size of Turn 10 yet deserves your full dollar. 

Seems for you marketing and buisness decisions mean more than the actual games itself.

Fans - Its ok PD is half the size of Turn 10, they can sell us half baked games at full price. No worries.

Love your logic.

Love your logic.

You can talk all you want but it will hold 0 weight when you are upping a MS game, dumping on a Sony game on a genre you don't care or know about.

Can you point me to any comments or threads you made to complain about FM5 or give props to GT6? What you think deserves a full price or not is irrelevant, I wouldn't pay more than 10 USD for a Fifa game, still it sell gangbuster every year at 60USD.

Nope he picks the ones made by racers not layman reviewers. He didn't even point scores and I read all of them and they had only the text with their likes and dislikes without any score given and were truly talking about the game proposed to be and not what the reviewer think it should be doing while not even caring about simulation, just like you are doing.

Nope I was making fun of they removing content they adverstised. Do you care to show me where did PD advertised something they didn't comply? They released the list of cars and tracks several months ago, talked about it being a e-sport game over 2 years ago.

Nope I'm willing to accept a full game complying with what they proposed to do, understanding that there is less content than I would like and that I would preffer a GT7 instead of a GTS.

You can love my logic all you want. If I pay 60 USD for a game that gives me 20h or less (most AAA games) why shouldn't I pay 60USD for GTS that gives me on SP alone more than 100h? I paid less for PC1 because it was full of bugs and uncomplished promises. Played for over 300h even though I saw several errors and thought it was too easy and excessively long in some parts.
