Maybe it's a "not news" but here in Italy Gamestop and other retailers started to take preorder for Gt Sports and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Amazon too, listing it for December.

Polyphony didn't laser scan the TT course
Big Ben and Isle of Man government did for the official TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge game.
Well it doesn't stop then making a track inspired by the TT course.
Although I have a feeling it will take them about 20 years to design and make their own 37 mile course...
The quote from the press release is this:
So it may have been them however I don;t think this deal has been in the works from 2014.
Either way, I can't bloody wait! The TT and Road Racing is what I grew up with used to go to all the National Road Races so I am properly excited.

Where is that press release saying it's exclusive though?
http://www.bigben-interactive.co.uk...es-brand-new-isle-of-man-tt-races-video-game/
It doesn't say anything about exclusivity.

There are some comments about exclusivity in this Press Release. Maybe a mistake?

This, they are exclusively making the official TT game, but hopefully the track will still be used in other games too.
Just some info on GT would be handy, I hate radio silence!

I'm out of the loop, my fault for not subscibing to this I suppose.
Do we know exactly what GT Sport is yet? If it's priced like a fully featured GT game is that what players will get?

No idea, nothing has been said since the initial announcement.

Thanks!
Subbbed and keeping an eye on it anyway.

Nobody knows fuck-all, PD are officially denying any association with Gran Turismo, Kaz says he's never even sat in a car, Sony won't confirm existence of the PS4, Donald Trump says the game is out now, Jimmy Savile's ghost says Woooo.
I think that about sums it up.

Wait you get to battle Ghost Saville on Circuit de la Sarthe?
Day 1 I guess.
Day 1 I guess.
Did it miss the initial beta window yet? Would be so PD to miss that without any kind of announcement since the initial reveal.

The beta window is specifically for Spring.
I remember a screenshot coming from a private conversation with Facebook pr guy saying it won't be full price, not sure if it was legit though.

Does Saville wear his tracksuit on trackdays?
We need some more information on this game.

PS4 has been weird for me.
Every last Sony console I just couldn't wait for the latest gran Turismo
This time, I don't even really care?
Gran Turismo 6 was so terrible, and with project cars being great and assetto corsa on the horizon I haven't felt a void of sim racing
I really hope this is a reboot of sorts that reignites my passion for gt
Less cars, premium models only, tight and focused. It's a game not a digital car museum, cut the fat and focus on the important stuff
I know at the least the graphics will be impressive

What?
The great pile of poop, you mean? Come on, we all know how "well made" it is. Version 10.0, lol.

Agreed. Dump all the legacy cars.
Oh look another Project Cars hater.
How many times does it have to be explained that the game clearly isn't "shit"? The great irony is that you are talking about version numbers in a GT thread.
Is it well optimized? - No.
Is it well designed? - No.
Is it balanced? - No
Does it play well with a pad? - No, unless you spend hours til you find something that isn't so bad, and yet you'll still have to tweak it afterwards.
Does it have tons of bugs? - Yes.
I still play Project Cars, and when for a miracle the gigantic number of problems it has don't get in your way (which is very, very rare), yes, it feels great. But racing is my favorite genre, and I know when when a game deserves my respect and when it doesn't. I've played betas that felt much more like a finished product than Project Cars.

DD, I like your style, and your posts. You're a regular in the racing game threads that contributes some good stuff, and I respect your opinions.
The funny thing is despite all those things, which I can't really debate, it's still my favorite next gen circuit racing experience. But boy, you're right, it's rough around the edges. As frustrating as it is sometimes, when things work, it truly shines. It still gives me a better motorsport experience than I've played in the past. I can't wait for pCARS 2.
I'm still holding out hope that GT will be great when it finally does arrive, although I haven't been following much of the tidbits of news. I
Is it going to be a ps4.5 game? Will we need to upgrade consoles to get the most out of it? Are regular ps4 games compatible with the 4.5 aka will we need 2 damn consoles to play racing games this gen?
What annoys me is that it really had the potential to be an amazing game, but it is so problematic that it's frustrating. Every damn time I boot the game I have to deal with some kind of shit. It feels like it is still in alpha state.
EDIT: and some things are really bizarre. For example, the AI strugles if you try to race with LMP1s in Monaco. So this is something they should avoid. And what SMS decides to do? A LMP1 race in Monaco, of course! I mean, it's not even realistic! It's not a race that exists in real live, so nobody would notice its absence, nobody would care. So why do they chose to have a race where I'll need to restart a few times until the AI decide not to clog the track? Thousands of people testing the game and yet something incomprehensible like this have a go. >.>

Can't let this go....
It is Spring only on the the PS blog. On Gran Turismo website it is, and always been, early 2016. That ship sailed.
If early is wrong they could have changed it in two seconds.
I agree. The biggest problem is that pCARS is undeniably inconsistent in almost all respects. Also, the first couple months after the game released it was unequivocally awful. Considering the development time and community testing... that doesn't get forgotten after patch 10. For me the biggest draw back is that there is a clear rift between the handling of race cars (IMO they are great) and road cars (they are awful). Bringing the conversation back to GT, I do feel that this is something GT does pretty well. There is a consistency (maybe at the expense of accuracy) in the way GT games drive.

Was a PCARS backer since the start. The game has been quite a disappointment for me. Just the fact that by version 10 they still can't do decent joypad controls (and never managed in two Shift games) makes me think PCARS2 will be the same. It's such a fundamental thing for a console game.
After NFS Shift 1, 2, Test Drive Ferrari and now Project Cars, I decided that I'll only pick PCars 2 if people start screaming "OH MY GOD, IT'S SO FRIGGIN PERFECT!!!1"
GTR2 was indeed amazing.
About Assetto Corsa, I'm curious about it. Does it have nice content, especially tracks? How's the AI? Does it have a career mode? Does it play nice with a pad?
About assetto: it has some really nice and accurate tracks (like laser-scanned nordschleife, francorchamps, mugello, zandvoort,...) but do not expect the variety of a gran turismo or a pCars, you will play mostly on real racing tracks and nothing else. after all they are a small team compared to polyphony and others.
Still, the content is great and comes at a good pace.
I play only with a xbox pad and imo the support is awesome. I've no problem being fast and precise.
The AI is ok-tier. It does the job but do not expect something incredible.
If you want the most realistic simulation out there and just drive for the sheer pleasure of driving, absolutely go for it. The feel of the many cars is awesome !
As a game tho it's kinda rough, career mode is barebone. It depends on what you are looking for.
Sorry for the off-topic btw

And I think that there's no problem in talking about similar products, since we have nothing more to discuss about GT Sport at the moment. =/
But if there's a problem, I'm sorry. ;(

Assetto Corsa is definitely the one sim I want most on the PC side. Just waiting for a nice price.
I'm a casual fan so the online-only or online-mostly offerings on PC don't really appeal to me, like Rfactor or others.
Polish is really important to me in these types of games because of that. If I can't enjoy a light experience within the simulation it's pretty much useless for me.
I think that's why Gran Turismo has such strong appeal. Even though it is a sim, and even maybe "not as good a sim as other games", it has a ton of value for just being so accessible compared to many other games.
For me and I bet a lot of other players accessibility into a sim experience is super important, just my 2 cents.

Uh... um... have you seen the mods of Assetto Corsa? Including mods I have roughly 150 cars and 100 tracks. Granted, not every one of those mods is of the highest quality but I would say the majority are (Any track done by Tiago Limo, 787B, Miata, Egg 1:One, various F1 cars, etc).
I do like pCARS's content mix. It is a little light on road cars but otherwise has a nice balance. The DLC has also been good (price and content wise).
This is one area GT really needs to step up. DLC for GT6 was terrible (we have the huge content plan... there will be DLC every month... :|... we all know how that turned out). IMO this left many just as sour as with the overall state of the game.
Face it Tiger..

rFactor 2 can be played offline and without a subscription. Outside of iRacing there aren't many games that require a constant connection (RaceRoom needs to verify your bought content for example, but can be played running just on your computer against AI). Pretty much all of them lack in presentation-polish compared to console games though.
When racing sim guys rant about the gamification of their glorified sims, I can only shake my head. What's weirding me out a little is that something inside me is bothered by someone mentioning Gran Turismo in the same paragraph as rFactor and Assetto Corsa and file them all as "sim experiences" (at least a little, enough so that I can feel it). Guess that calls for some self-reflection. *staring* *blinking*
I love Forza and GT, both are definitely simulating a driving experience and they are great and fun games... why........ weird...

Assetto Corsa is the new rFactor - it has all the tasty mods that most PC sim racers want. I see 81 cars and 208 tracks and 3,016 liveries on RD. Just like rFactor the range of mods varies from sublime (anyone care for a laser scanned Tor Poznań
to utter tripe. Thankfully Race Department has this covered too with a ranking system and download number. Modding may be one aspect the console user base misses out on which is unfortunate but understandable given the locked down nature of consoles.
I was all set to buy a PS4 however talk of a newer, up spec'd PSl and a lack of concrete information about GT and the future of DriveClub has caused me to cool my enthusiasm.

Here's the teams Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/walkenhorstmotorsport
They're continually posting pictures of qualifying sessions. As far as I know there's never been game specific decals on cars for the 24h races. By that I mean, they've never had something like "Gran Turismo 5" or "Gran Turismo 6" decals. It's always just a GT logo across the windshield.
No. The GT Sport decal was still on the right side of the car. There was a picture also of the car in the thread couple of days ago.
