Sound very promising. Always thought it dipped occasionally in the demo, especially with 30 cars on track like in missions 6-8. To be fair, we have not seen any really demanding settings like rain/wet combined with night racing with a full field of cars yet. But they also had some time from the betas to iron stuff out, seems they've done a much better job with the frame rate than in GT6.

Nice mine is with Tesco so I'm expecting to play it around Christmas time!

Are we going to have somewhere we can post out favorite svgs? Or, for plebs like myself, any kind of explanation on sourcing svgs? It's vector format, so I'm assuming direct file type conversion 1:1 isn't a thing. Also, what to create images with because windows 8 sure doesn't know what to do with them.

I'd imagine/hope someone will create an OT for liveries
For finding vectors I would recommend sites such as thenounproject.com or even something as freepik.com
For creating them the most common tool is Illustrator, but it's big and pricy. I personally would recommend something like Figma for beginners, it's way more intuitive and runs in your browser.

Early access in this case just means that the cars are unlocked from the start. They're still in the game for everyone to buy with in-game credits or mileage points.

My hype for GT Sport has got me going down the rabbit hole of driving wheels. I have a Driving Force GT from my PS3 days, so could just hook that up using GIMX or CoronusMax I guess?
Not sure I can be bothered with more adapters and crap lying around. Anyone aware of any good deals on a G29 bundle? Here in the UK the bundle was on sale for around £150 at Currys/PC World about 3 months ago, but it seems to be over £220 everywhere now.
Hmmm it's a dilemna. Anyone here have any opinions or ideas? Or experience of how the DFGT plays on GTSport with CoronusMax?

I can't give you ChronusMax impressions, but I can give you GIMX impressions. I'm using my DFGT with that and I can't distinguish it from using it natively back on PS3. Input lag is unnoticeable and the force feedback is feeling exactly the same.
Saw a £125 deal for T150, if it has interest for you or other UK peeps. https://www.shop.bt.com/products/thrustmaster-t150-force-feedback-wheel-ps4-ps3-pc-4168053-C1VF.html
Edit: T150 Pro version with better pedals is going for £155 in same shop. https://www.shop.bt.com/products/thrustmaster-t150-rs-pro-racing-wheel-uk-4168059-CNM1.html?q=t150

I'd imagine the G29 to drop back to £150 the closer we get to Christmas, that's how much I paid for mine last year.
The amount of DFGT's on eBay right now you have to wonder if they don't realise something like the GIMX would let them use on a PS4

I haven't tried with my DFGT, but my G25 works really well using the Drivehub. It's fairly small, doesn't require a PC to work and the LEDs match the rev counter when driving. If you get one, don't forget to update the firmware because I had some disconnect issues on the factory firmware.
Looking at the track and car list and the features that were in the previous versions and not in this one (such as weather, dynamic time of day, career mode), one does wonder what happened during the development of this game. Did they start over from scratch (at least they did on the cars i assume?) or was it a matter of priorities (e.g. eliminate tearing and smoother framerates <-> dynamic time of day,...)?
Anyhow, i miss playing the demo. I'm still considering buying for SP only but since i don't really enjoy rally and oval circuits, that track list is looking very thin ath this moment. I might and see what plans they have in store for future support.

Same here, damn 2 for £70 offer!
It seemed like a good idea at the time, I'm regretting it now though. Been playing GT6 all weekend in anticipation.

TBH I only tried 2 races with it, so not enough time for a real comparison. It felt great as is expected but I did not notice anything really special with it to put it above a CSL. Better to look for reviews if you want a better impression of the T-GT.
You're welcome. Hope you enjoy it!
My other game was Horizon. Ordered in August 2016!
i honestly think consistency was their priority this time around because they got a LOT of flack for it the last few times. i mean, yes there was weather in GT5/6, but not on every track. yes there was day night cycles, but not on every track. yes there were more cars, but half of them looked like shit. and as you say, they're outputting at a solid 60fps this time, again offering a more consistent experience.
i think they ultimately want to have full weather systems and day night cycles and 1000 cars again, but i doubt we'll see that until they feel they can offer it consistently across the board. i would hope the current cars and tracks have been created with that sort of forward thinking in mind. maybe it'll be patched into this game. maybe we'll see it in the next one? who knows.

I live in the UK. I'll ask mods if its okay to post it earlier.

You can post it right now if it's done given that we're just a day away from the release.
Should be ok, but ask to be safe. Rules say 24 hours before launch is the earliest it can up and US launch is less than 24 hours away now.

Haha oh yours really was an old order!
I've had some great deals from Tesco back in the day at the original launch
FIFA 14 for £37 and 537 points
Diablo 3 for £45 and 1045 points!
Destiny + £25 PSN card for £65 and 565 points
The bonus points were always a great deal when using on things like Chef and Brewer tokens x4 or Butlins x3

I can't wait for the reviews of this game. I know that this isn't the GT6 successor that I want and could buy Forza 7 instead because it does all those things (mainly car collection and racing with road cars). But I'd rather jump through all the hoops to get my G27 working on the PS4. The lack of a proper campaign mode and road cars (compared to race cars) is definitely a downer for me. I know Kaz said that there will be more cars via DLC, but I couldn't find info on the pricing and I'd rather not buy a full-priced game and pay for every car I want individually. But a fan of that model. Do we know if they're going to expand the SP content via DLC? Is there any info on the DLC pricing at all? Also, weird question, but after the disappointment in GT5 and 6 it's more than warranted: Do SP races have standing starts?
My US PSN pre-order unlocks around 6am tomorrow morning (Germany).
Well we know Microtransactions are definitely of the table.
So I assume something like GT5 with a mix of paid and free car packs.
You sure? UK and Germany have different release dates then?
I think the game releases at midnight if bought from the NA PS Store. I'm in Germany too but I'm American and bought from the US store so I can wake to it Tuesday.

Does my dad need a PSN subscribtion to play this gams online?
The CEO of Fanatec confirmed it should be working and will be working on retail very soon.

That's only because you've bought it on the US store.

If you are PS+ member and you put his console as your primary then you can share PS+ online play privilege on a single PS+ subscription.
And therefore is totally relevant to the post I was replying to.
Well, I could have been more specific, yeah. Wanted to express what the german unlock time is for us psn preorders!Ok, thanks a lot guys, doesn't matter to me if 0 or 6am. It will run me some 50 on us psn vs 60 retail, so I'll be getting it there.
Me too. My GPU frying all of a sudden helped in pulling the plug
Fuck me I just tried it and it was fucking awesome.
This was my first time with a wheel and honestly I had to force myself to stop as I was on my lunch break.
It felt really great, all those tiny vibrations, the force feedback, felt like the real deal. Granted I only drove regular cars in real life so far but all the feedback you get was also there.
Now it is 800 fucking euros but I think I'm going to go for it, just the thought of driving in VR with such a wheel, drooool.

We talking about the new Thrustmaster wheel? That thing looks amazing. I just think it's going to be almost half price by start of the new year though.
