IQ is not that bad. It's just not what I'm used to. It's definitely more than tolerable.

It's so so clean on the pro at 1080p in quality mode.

No idea what it's like on base PS4 or even the pro at native 4K though.

 

[Kalor]

I've only done a few races but I'm really enjoying this so far. The menu has some nice music.

Edit: Is the matchmaking meant to say "Preparing to Match" for ages? I can't tell if it's actually ever going to put me in a match or not.

Its very clean in 4K..clearly not native but it looks very nice hardly any edges. Theres some stairstep artifacts around the wheels with all the dust in rally races.. I only really notice it in replays. Probably something thats in there for base ps4 as well.

 

[Crayon]

I have not been able to get into a sport race for over an hour now.

 

[rog3r]

Network error while matching on my first sport race

 

[LordOcidax]

Great driving physics as always. But the graphics are pretty inconsistent (In game), and a lot worse than i expected (expectation based in videos and gifs posted here in gaf). Played in a base PS4.

 

[| Praxis |]

My experience so far.

 

[Asd202]

I must say I love the menus and menu music in this game. So relaxing.

 

[carsar]

My experience so far.

TV occupies a small space of eyes' FOV...

 

[throwawayname]

I would love to race in cockpit view but that POV... can't see enough road in most cars on my 24inch monitor from my bed. There is no POV slider, right?

On the base PS4 there's definitely aliasing issues. One of the most obvious ways I noticed it was in the license test for braking...the checkerboard road area was just a flickering mess at a distance. In most cases it's not really that bad. Certainly nothing to complain about for the tradeoff of fairly-locked 60fps.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Well, just going into the options menu crashes the game

 

[RS4-]

Well I guess I should've expected that. Playing during the maintenance didn't save anything lol.

 

[Moose Biscuits]

Where are all the mediocre cars?! Where are all the old cars?!

 

[digita1alchemy]

Same here, every time. Restarting my system didn't help.

 

[robotrock]

Shit man the museum stuff is kind of blowing me away here. That’s so cool, have they always done this?

 

[Crayon]

Damn if I can't get in to a game then it's quits for me today. I'm itching to play more.

 

[eso76]

damn... that's not good news =/

IQ is good, not Horizon zd or uncharted levels on regular PS4 but still plenty good imho.

Anyway.
Issues I'm having:
No idea why it defaults to stereo on my setup, all other games recognise a 5.1 or 7.1 setup.
It also sounds really weird at times: I believe it's sound glitches I'm hearing during replays (cars passing by produce a sudden, short engine noise that's immediately gone, laughably bad).
And man those bumper car physics when you hit another car or a wall look more jarring than ever now with everything looking so realistic.

Aside from that though, I think it's just stellar all around.

Need Spotify playlist of the soundtrack.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Yes.

You could even drive the Benz motor carriage in one of them. It's was terrible, but you could.

I remember it not having the power to make it through the first main straight because of a slight incline.

XD

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Game looks beautiful. Playing on a Pro on 65" 4k HDR TV and the image quality alone puts this ahead of Driveclub for me.

Unfortunately racing simulations aren't my thing at all. I can see the appeal but its just not for me.
I will be spending some more time with the beta, simply to enjoy the visuals some more.

Same here, every time. Restarting my system didn't help.

Same for me.

 

[ddikxela]

If you're in NA, you need PS+ to download it right now. It will unlock for non PS+ users at 6PM PT (9PM ET) tonight.

If you absolutely want to download it immediately without PS+, you're going to need an account in another region (like Europe). Keep in mind the demo will only be playable using the account that downloaded it regardless of whether it's set to primary or not.

Unless something has changed this morning(NZ Time here) It will work. I downloaded the demo off my NZ account, and was able to jump on with my non-PS+ US account last night before starting with my NZ account....

I believe the original closed beta had that issue you are describing of being locked to the specific account

 

[Inside]

Have anyone found any friend list/ leading board where you can see info and level for your friends?

 

[Wheatly]

Good god this game looks good on my 4k HDR set

 

[RS4-]

I hope the load times are sorted out in the final game

 

[Crayon]

Graphics are sick. Mines broken tho. I'll try again later.

 

[sechsterangriff]

And after a few minutes on the pre-sport race TAG Heuer screen, error NE-2100025A.

It's hard to believe they'll be launching the game in a few days...

 

[Moose Biscuits]

Okay maybe someone can answer this question for me once and for all.

When you're using manual transmission, at the start of a race what are you actually supposed to do? Should you be revving?

 

[Best]

Yep, going to hold off buying this until a while after launch

 

[digita1alchemy]

If I can't get into the options menu to fine tune my wheel settings then this demo is pointless to me...

 

[SillySinStorm]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that; are you saying that in shorter races the entry is used as part of the track? S/he was actually making a pit stop in the video.

I was looking at the GIF, sorry. Ignore me....🙈

 

[Memento]

Still no download for non PS+ subscribers

:/

 

[Crayon]

I got into the option s from arcade I think. From somewhere. I know I was using the controller mapping menu.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

My experience so far.

You should move as close as possible to the TV with your wheel. For your TV size GTS would only have the correct FOV at like 40cm distance (guessing, from other racing, not knowing what GTS's FOV angle is in absolute numbers).

 

[mrklaw]

When trying out the scapes, it had me considering buying cars just because they’d suit a particular location..

Was having fun using the other cars to light the main subject car but framing the photo to hide them.

Just moved house, don't have all my shit set up yet properly.

Edit: that's a 50" TV as well. Picture makes it look smaller tbh.

Thanks, I'll try to find it. Though now it is telling me the server is under maintenance so hopefully it just works when it comes back.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Well, apparently they shut down the servers?

 

[funkystudent]

Gotta love server issues during a limited time demo.


Smart move bring online focused for this one PD.

 

[KGoogle]

What settings are people using for chase cam?

 

[Mutagenic]

Yeah, this isn’t a good look.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Got disconnected while it was matching players and now I just have a black screen with a cursor in the middle. Had to force close the game.

Just press X when that happens, that always helped me.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Are there any kind of championship series or anything? Seems like just challenge type stuff is available.

 

[Dragon1893]

Trying to access the options to change the controller config I chose before the first race and the game crashes every time. Christ...

Game looks pretty good.
Seems to be shaping up nicely. Still having bumper car collisions after 4 generations is truly disappointing though.
I was all over the place on the dirt track, I haven't played GT in a while, didn't remember it being so slippery.

 

[thesuperfunk]

I'm surprised to have seen so little discussion surrounding the visual damage model ... from the scrapes and tiny dings I witnessed tonight it all seemed fairly competent.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

55cm then from my FoV guess of 60° (vertical FOV). Could be that it's higher actually, 65° maybe even 70°. If it's 70° then 40cm is not so far off even for a 50" TV.

 

[cakely]

So far, so good. Got a gold time on the Northern Isle Speedway lap (I know, it's no big deal) just in time for a "servers down" network save error.

Definitely gonna play some more tonight.

 

[Fractology]

Has anyone today been able to get into a Sport match? I just got home from work itching to play this but I'm seeing server issues abound. I might crack into the Driving School for tonight instead. I like the idea of qualifying laps before timed events online, but if the online is bugging out, that kinda breaks it...

*Edit* Scratch the Driving School idea...they only put in the first row of challenges in. I already got them all.

 

[RS4-]

Fucking maintenance again lol.

Anyway, what's the default ebrake button? O? half assing this 6-1 mission

 

[Serious Sam]

Server errors and crashes. This reminds me of another Sony racing game I had terrible experience with. Why is this happening again? Haven't they learned a thing?

I was getting them find at first but now I can't.
