a 2 hr session of getting through a bit of the campaign mode(license tests) and a few arcade races. The game's handling is so good on controller!

Gran Turismo Sport demo coming Oct. 9
- Thread starter Savantcore
- Start date
The controls definitely feel great.
This is great news, with some tweaks before launch. Pro in high-frame mode struggles a bit, but base-PS4 at 30 fps for replays is solid.

How is anyone actually getting into a race? I've been looking at a "Server Maintenance" screen all morning....

HDR even looks great on my old 2015 set. I can't imagine how good it must look on a proper HDR TV.
My pros fans are going fucking mental though. Damn noisy console I have. It never stays at a constant fan RPM. Fluctuates like crazy.
I still can't get online to play. EU must be down.

Im using a g29 and I have the first option set at 1 and have the second at either 5 or 6. Seems to work good for me, though the non race cars seem to have much heavier steering.

Not a shame. It releases next week and still has a TON of networking bugs, I hope they're fixing them.

Ahh OK, now at least I can see the reason and benefit behind the Pro's framerate option. A nice optional extra like it should be.
That's great news for all players regardless of hardware, and even more kudos to Polyphony for doing it right.
Having gain on 1 felt the same as gain on 5 or even max. Really bizarre. This is with a T300.
Ahh ok well since recent I have a wheel and I definitely didn't find this boring. Actually it plays a lot better / more exciting / more fun then I thought it would from videos. But dunno how I would feel with a controller. Also last GT I really played was GT3

Yay, I can play now. Was going to watch something on YouTube and my GT menus are now active.
Plus these are replay angles with tons of cars, so this is a close to stress test territory as you can get under normal conditions. I'm pretty pleased.
Also, thank you for not quoting gifs. These threads are going to melt, lol
(I threw my images into quotes to minimize that, after seeing you snip them out)

Strange. I dont own any thrustmasters but you can update the firmware through a pc right? Maybe it needs an update.
I have the latest firmware installed already. I think my game is glitched and it's just not saving the settings on me or something. I can't enter the options menu at the home screen because it crashes every time when I try too. I might need to reinstall.

I can't believe how good they nailed the feel and look of this game so damn good

Options menu was crashing for me when I first started playing the demo, it stopped crashing after I played a few time trials though.
Edit: online is still borked, takes forever to prepare a match then you just get a network error.

For the love of god: RAIN? Will GT Sports have weather/rain?? Answer GAF!
We don't know. Our lord and savior, Kaz, hasn't spoken about this to my knowledge.
that's different. if the demo is offline you can't do anything, but it still tells you that the only thing you can do is arcade with no saving. that's obviously a message that applies to the full release version.

Should be simple enough but I cant find it. Does anyone know how to turn on the 4k option or quality option in the beta? I see in video settings its on 2k mode and it is greyed out and I cant change it, help please!! Game is amazing otherwise
Me too. I think that's why the servers are under maintenance.

Any way to move the track map from top right to bottom left as you could in Project Cars? Too far out of line of sight up there. Guess it won't be a problem once I've learned the tracks but until then it's a little annoying!

Yes it wil have rain. If not, Kaz and PD has some 'splaining to do.

Is there any way to completely turn off the HUD?
While the light and cars look great the rest isn't that hot, track itself is ok and surrounding are bad to terrible, most of the trees are garbage too. I'm not saying the game isn't pretty but sure as hell ain't like the gifs .

Interlagos Mission 6-2 1st place finish gameplay:
Below are videos of my first place finish (uploaded to Dailymotion because the quality is better than Youtube):
Gameplay
Replay
Had a big mistake on my first lap that I was very lucky to get away with and there were a couple of minor collisions on my out lap but apart from that it was a solid run. Managed to get into 1st place from the 5th lap and then hold it to the end.
Played with the gamepad, manual gears, no assists.

I have the same problem.
Yeah, there is no true equivalent/alternative to the presentation/feel that a GT game provides.

Hey if I'm a decent driver IRL, should I get a wheel for GTS? Having a bit of a hard time handling some of these cars.

Can you identify what's hard about the controller or not sure yet?

If you guys are on 4k displays, you can't adjust it down to 1080p mode, "2K frame-rate" being greyed out in inaccessible to you because you're already in 4K. If you want to have 60fps replays, you have to set your PS4 to output in 1080p, then that option to prioritize frame rate won't be greyed out.
You can adjust the HDR and colors by going to options and doing the HDR setup again.
A wheel makes racing games 1.92 times as fun*
*based on my totally scientific research of owning a wheel myself.

Just seems really weird some of the cars like the FORD Mustang (I think) to handle around corners. When to brake, how hard to break, when to just let the gas go, there's a lot to learn, Im wondering if it's all just easier on a wheel or should I just play around with controller settings. Right now, I'm using default with automatic shifting.
btw, does manual shifting give you an advantage?
Did the 30 lap endurance. AI was quite aggressive. Spun me out twice which resulted in my coming second by a few tenths of a second in the end. Would've been an easy victory otherwise. Also, hard tyre seems to go through the grip phases very quickly in the race. Find that I have 2, maybe 3 laps of good grip and then it begins to deteriorate rather quickly

It seems that the speed limiter auto kicks in the moment you cross the line so no it doesn't seem so. Go in as fast as you want as long as you aren't going off the track!
Definitely if you have the room for it. I have a T300RS but it's folded away in my store cupboard because my wife objects to it being out in the living room while she is around. Which is understandable.
I imagine as with 90% of all racing games much better with a wheel than with the gamepad but I'm finding this to be pretty decent with the gamepad to be honest. Maybe it's because I've spent the last 2 days wresting with Project Cars on a gamepad...
Definitely use manual shifting as well. It's imperative to be able to just shift up to manage torque in higher powered real wheel drive cars.

When I first got a wheel for GT5 it took a good while for my times to be up there with my controller. So expecting better handling right off the bat might not happen but YMMV.
That said the wheel offers such a better over all experience once you're used to it.
Manual shifting allows both engine braking and the ability to maintain torque through corners and dull torque to overcome wheelspin. Shaves valuable seconds off your time when used correctly
