Whatever you do don't hit the options button. It will crash the demo.
OK, 43 GB seems excessive for a demo, almost like they don't want people trying it. Made me second guess if the download was worth it, so I look up gameplay footage only to discover the game looks absolutely nothing like it does in photo mode. Genuinely couldn't tell you it looks better than GT5 without seeing a direct side by side, so now I'm very confused as to why we're getting 1 GT game for every 3 Forza games.
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.
Enough space?Demo won't download for me for some reason.

It's all about raising your competency as a driver so you can either pve by beating your own time/ladders or pvp online instead of upgrading your car like an RPG.
I dig it, pure driving.
The online side of things has the potential to be amazing, but it only works if the active player base hits critical mass.Just the same old GT stuff. Not a legit "campaign" like in Need for Speed games. Like the previous mainline GT games. I just want the game to layout a bunch of themed races across the various continents, hand me 10k credits to go pick a beat up, old car from the used car dealership, and I work my way up to bigger and better things from there.
Have been away from the Sony ecosystem for a few years since I sold my PS3 (2012 maybe?). Picked up a PS4 Pro today for this game, nabbed a PS+ trial and started to the download the trial.....32 hours estimated to completion.
What a boner killer.
On a 60/5 connection, nonetheless. I see that Sony's downloads are still slow as shit, I don't understand. A bit of Google-fu showed me the proxy trick, which I did and the estimated time went immediately down to 3 hours.
Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
The new campaign is more of a challenge than the old campaign was in that you are now given pre-defined cars, tracks and conditions to drive in.
In the old campaign it was a case of grind your arse off until you could upgrade your car or buy a car that outclasses the other cars in the field and then just blast past them to the front (see the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak). Whereas now you need to genuinely put some work in and improve your skills/strategy to get first in some of these mission challenges. Ive had more fun tackling stuff like mission challenge 6-2 than I ever did lapping opponents with ease in previous GT games but then maybe some people don't want that kind of challenge?
It all depends on what you're looking for in a racing game I guess.
Oooh, thanks for the heads up. You'd think they'd give an indication if you don't have enough space to install.Enough space?
seriously...theres only so much rags to riches I can take man...Old career mode was busted.
Find car with correct drivetrain.
Have some fun tuning it and then proceed to destroy the competition, ugh. They added stupid PP ratings (or whatever it was called) so people could try and challenges themselves.
Good riddance.
I can see people wanting more cars to collect but fuck that old campaign.
There's no reason they couldn't have added the A Spec mode. They just chose a different way to do it, which I'm not a fan of.
As an analogy what we have is if someone decided to write a story, that exists only in the form of bullet points.
I took a look at the car list and honestly there just may not have been enough of a variety to hold together a normal A spec mode. There's about 67 unique real life cars in the game, and with that they went for a lot of high end cars. Aside from those 67 cars, there's around 25 concept vision GT cars. The rest of the roster is filled with doubles, triples and quadruples of those cars meant to provide enough of a selection in the various classes of racing in the game.There's no reason they couldn't have added the A Spec mode.

I had to delete my settings save file and then when starting the game again, I chose image quality or whatever instead of framerate.Same here, every time. Restarting my system didn't help.
So much this.It's all about raising your competency as a driver so you can either pve by beating your own time/ladders or pvp online instead of upgrading your car like an RPG.

Make sure your trigger isn't broken. Mine is so I have to hold it at a certain angle to get full throttle.Started up driving school and I can't even for the life of me get the gold on the first event which is just driving in a straight fucking line.
Welp.
Probably got to get the rev going at the right time.Started up driving school and I can't even for the life of me get the gold on the first event which is just driving in a straight fucking line.
Welp.
No prob.Oooh, thanks for the heads up. You'd think they'd give an indication if you don't have enough space to install.
Also, 43 gigs is a joke of a size for just a demo.
Nah it's more like the bullets point are for the first part of the story .
Where the online will be the second part Lol.

Close all background apps and games, that'll speed it the hell upHave been away from the Sony ecosystem for a few years since I sold my PS3 (2012 maybe?). Picked up a PS4 Pro today for this game, nabbed a PS+ trial and started to the download the trial.....32 hours estimated to completion.

GT Sport is designed to funnel everybody into online, even (especially) those who would otherwise be hesitant. If the experience is good, hopefully they'll be converts.
Figured out my download problem. Apparently 150GB isn't enough room for a 43GB demo.
Leaving to download overnight.
The races seem to be every 20 minutes (on the hour, 20 minutes past the hour, 20 minutes to), AFAICS, so it's easy to know when the races will start and join at that time (outside of your first race). You can join early to warm up too, which is very helpful for your first few races (so people who don't know about the race times yet shouldn't be too bothered).I think the problem so far (unless the final game has a lot more options or there's modes I haven't unlocked yet) is that the online features seem to be fairly narrow in scope. No quick matches, no ghost battles that I can find, etc. Waiting around for 20 minutes for a race to start is not what many people have the patience for.
The focus of the game works well. I feel that desire to move up.

This is my issue, I could never be around in time for a race to start. I also don't want to join a random lobby either. Bummer because I'm excited to try Sport mode but the hoops you have to jump through are really dumb.
Good video. Good to see an accurate representation of the graphics.
Is this a demo? Beta? How old is the build ? Is it retail code ? How is dlc handled ? Free cars and tracks ?
everything you've heard about gran turismo is true
