And ironically at the GT6 release I really felt they should cut content - but I meant the ps2 quality standard cars, not tracks and SP content. I wonder if on some level kaz genuinely thought he was listening to the fan base with this release. Sigh.

Based on the general possitive reaction to this beta, maybe he was.
Yep it is quite good...many of us recommend turning the controller sensitivity up to 4
Is that The Translator? lol

I always thought they should have done exactly this with their game - start fresh with all new assets at a higher quality bar, even if that meant less content overall. Thought it was the right thing for Turn 10 to do as well.
I just didn't know it'd take Polyphony so long to do it. It works best when its done early, and you have some more space to iterate relatively quickly based upon feedback.
So while I personally think its the right way to go, people who think this game is not worth the asking price make perfect sense.

Does the game not recognize anyone's wins in the challenges section either? Got two but it shows zero. Feels bad man.

I think it would make more sense if they laid out rough plans for free content updates. Like, "we're planning to add at least 10 more tracks, including Spa, Monza, Monaco, and a few fantasy tracks. We're also adding 100+ new cars in every category. Expect these updates to roll out over the coming year." It's harder to go on vague hints that there will be free updates to fill out the content without knowing a rough timetable or what that might include. I already got burned on that with Tekken 7, when many in the community were saying before launch that there'd be all these free content updates which never materialized.

I love that Alfa 4C, it's such a Speed Racer looking car.
For arcade.

Ok. Impressions so far:
- Gameplay is amazing. Only play single player time trials, single races. Not into going full multiplayer.. which lead to...
- Campaign mode: What is this? Just some challenge split into tracks and missions, where is the hell is a real career mode where you start building up you car, garage, doing multiple events to go to the top? Perhaps im not informed properly about this game, is it going to change or this game is like that?
Graphics: Well they are great, nothing bad to say . Playing on a 720p display btw, no 2k,4k,6k whatever eye candy tech exist to push graphics to the top, but still found it really amazing. Think its in on par with Driveclub.
Thing that is a miss: Forza driving lane which change color was the way to go, well, for me. Not the crazy racing fanatic, but god i loved that option in Forza. In GT, its just a straight yellow line...
I will wait and see. Need to see more tbh, the lack offline career gamemodeis a bit of a turn off for me. I just dont see myself just going online to compete and challenge, not what i like.

Oh, I thought that it was out for everyone already. Thanks for the clarification! o/
Playing a limited time demo is now a benefit. This is why videogame companies shit on out faces whenever they feel like doing it.

Ok, this is going to sound weird, but is anyone else experiencing motion sickness from this game? There's something about the way the game transitions from finishing a license or time trial to the menu. It freezes the race instantly and pops in a menu and its giving me some of the worst motion sickness feelings I've ever had.
Strangely enough its not the racing. And also strangely I'm fine with other racing games like F1 2017. I really think its the way the driving instantly stops and the way the menu pops in. Ugh, I'm so disappointed right now as I've been really looking forward to this game!

Nope. No motion sickness on my end.

I booted it up just to double check splitscreen works in the demo. It does.
Also, either I haven't played any recent 2player splitscreen racers, or the splitscreen implementation is really weird in this game.

Well the servers finally came online, and Im not blown away.
Visually its a mixed bag for me, incredible lighting ruined by very poor environments and horrendous looking 30fps reflections and shadows cast in cockpit view. Some annoying pop in as well.
And the sounds, Im sorry to say have not been fixed. The BMW M4 and the MKVII Golf sound nothing like the real thing.

Forza 5 looked like absolute GRADE AAA garbage as far as visuals and polish. A LITTLE BIT different in that regard guys. The game was like some shitty 360 game upscaled for a new system. It's ridiculous comparing it to this beauty.

Totally agree - I just didnt realize that involved gutting the SP experience which to me was the heart and soul of the series. And while the cars are all of a high quality bar, its hard to say that about the tracks. Still a lot of sketchy assets. The lighting goes a long way to cover that up but not entirely.
Anyways Im not trying to shit on the parade - I think Im just going to forever be enormously frustrated by this release (particularly because I wanted PC2 to step up to the plate and its just a pretty messy release]. And until we see whats next, Im worried about what it might mean for the future of the franchise.
I pretty much disagree with this. I am a graphic whore as well, and have a nice PC, and I still think this game looks pretty great in gameplay.
It could use a few tweaks here and there for sure, but I'm pretty happy with the IQ especially.
Your hyperbole is showing.

I agree that the store and blog are doing a bad job of explaining what it is, but that is PlayStation / Sony. PD are delivering the information where they can, including when you first boot the game (and the name of the game itself when you download it).

Oh boy.
The "heart and soul" people are back. Yeesh.
Love this new direction.

It's pretty amazing trolls and idiots cannot understand that this is a beta.

Why is my sportsmanship rating decreased when I get hit from behind in the very first corner? This doesn't make sense at all.
Absolutely no hyperbole whatsoever. I owned an Xone at that time. I preordered F5. It was absolutely bonkers terrible in the graphics department. This was well known at the time. Unless you were a diehard Xbox fan used to only seeing garbage IQ the game looked terrible with image quality from hell. The assets for tracks were also incredibly poor in 5. 7 is a HUGE leap over 5 lol.
My T100 PS3 wheel works with force feedback. Seems like none of the buttons on the wheel work while racing but the paddles are shifting gears fine.
I was confused why I couldn't change the camera. But the controller let me get into cockpit view. I had no intention to buy this game but I might now.
Will the game have any tracks like Driveclub where you drive through pretty scenery like forests or big snowy mountains?
If its mostly those real life tracks Ive raced on hundreds of times in different racing games where its some trees here and there dirt on the side of the road and some stands at the finish line I'm bored of that.

Your rating doesn't seem to change drastically from every little bump.
Just keep your nose clean and your driver rating will reflect it.
Well this is sim that uses real world tracks alot won tlook that impactful.
Yeap, this is the game. More of this is all you'll get (and not that much for that). Which is why I won't be buying. I love the game but I just know I won't get motivated to just play online.
Man Polyphony needs to add a replay button for us casuals lol. Having to restart a race due to fucking up a corner is rough. Then again, I dont know how theyd make it work for challenges. It feels like cars are harder to get into turns without breaking significantly early. Old GT didnt feel like this.
