Going to hook my PS4 up in the new house tonight to download this. Need to get that DL started!

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Home from work and it’s down. God damn it.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Am I allowed to stream this?

 

[darkwing]

servers undergoing maintenance nooooooooooooooo

 

[SolidSnakex]

So how is the lack of Career mode? Does it bother people? Is it a new direction for the series, or just a cut down version of GT7 which will come next?

It does have a career mode. The driving schools are more or less teaching you how to drive. But once you get to the Mission Mode, then you get to actual races and events that are very much in line with classic GT games. For example, the final race in Mission 6 is a 30 lap race in a Porsche.

 

[Arex]

Any interesting liveries?

 

[Ardenyal]

Is this a planned maintenance or just too much traffic (ha).

 

[Syntsui]

Not a good selling point to put a maintenance as soon as the demo is supposed to be out. Somehow i can still do the driving challenges though.

 

[SliChillax]

This is why I played GT5 and 6 to death: Clowns like this are nullified by the ghosting feature and you get awesome close wheel to wheel racing. This is also why I fucked off from Forza.

I didn't know GT had this feature. I had only played Forza online and hated it because of clowns who crashed on purpose. Now I might give this a shot.

Can't upload to abload for some reason. What's the next best website to upload pictures?

Flickr is great, has lot of space for uncompressed images, several thumbnail options, you can create albums, etc. I believe you need a yahoo account (or maybe not anymore?), but it's worth it.

Imgur for quick uploads. If you have an account you can even enable HQ upload/gifs.

I managed to run one Sport race, from which I got both pole position and a win. Yay.

BTW, before servers gone live I managed to fire up game in "4K high quality" mode, but after they went live the game got stuck in "2K prefer framerate".

Any tip to how to get 4K HQ mode back?

 

[Crayon]

The sport mode is very fun. :x

In my second race, two dickbags were desperate and were bumping a lot into corners. They ended up with +2 and +4 second penalties that pushed them way down the final standing.

[Insane Metal]

Scapes is awesome.

 

[Kyoufu]

When other cars bump into you but you get penalised. Wut.

 

[scorcher59]

Any peeps out there that have the demo and a G29 mind how the FFB feels in relation to proper sims like AC or AMS?

shamless quoting of previous page question

NEVER use Imgur. Abload.de and https://pi.gy are uncompressed.

 

[Revo_zero]

is it just me or does the rally handling feel absolutely awful? coming off Dirt Rally recently, the cars just feel like they are in a state of aqua planing, doesn't feel like that car is connected to the road at all

 

[Frostman]

Anybody else failing to sign into network ATM.

Yeah, it says maintenance.

 

[Gestault]

I hope that doesn't play out as a problem at release. Soemthing that absolutely boggled my mind with GT5 Prologue was how outright broken the penalty system was. There were problems here and there since in later games, but nothing like Prologue.

 

[Drackhorn]

I got a maintenance warning.

 

[Egida]

It has tutorials and challenges. A campaign similar to previous GTs is impossible with the meagre car and circuit list.

But I wouldn't call it a cut down GT7, it's a different game with a different focus.

Thanks! I used Picpar for now.

All pictures are edited in photomode. Probably the best photomode I've ever played with.

This one is from Scapes

 

[MrCow]

coming home from work, finally I am able to play after waiting the whole day..

Server undergoing maintenance.

 

[MANGOD]

Server maintenance. FOR FUCK SAKE KAZ I'M IN FROM WORK

 

[Gestault]

Welp. Just kidding, I went all the way home from work to start up the download, I can't win. lol

 

[Omnistalgic]

Honestly, you get rewarded for like everything you do. The RPG element is very much still here, and to me there isn’t a lack of content, more like not enough production cars. Racers are in the career mode, and some are very challenging. Very! Lol

After 2 updates, I think this will be the best GT of all time.

 

[Goldrusher]

Hopefully they can fix the friends bug some people - including myself - had.

Same here.....:/

But the menue short film is quiet nice....

 

[ICO_SotC]

Frustrating that you can't even do the Driving School lessons when the server is down.

 

[bud]

finally got home all excited only to see a server maintenance screen

kill me

 

[Hoje0308]

I feel good about my decision to wait on this. Tire physics are still poo and the track list is pretty pathetic. Less said about car collection the better.

is it just me or does the rally handling feel absolutely awful? coming off Dirt Rally recently, the cars just feel like they are in a state of aqua planing, doesn't feel like that car is connected to the road at all

Rally mode has always been GT's weakest area. Tried it real quick to see if much has changed and, well...I won't be going back.

 

[darkwing]

rally isn't really a strong suit for GT

 

[MANGOD]

If this sever down = No playing in the full game then I'm out

 

[Gestault]

Wait, the game itself isn't available while the server is down? I assumed this was just people who were trying to download for the first time.

 

[Neuromancer]

Any reports on the t500 functionality?

My T500RS is working our great so far.

 

[IISANDERII]

I didn't know GT had this feature. I had only played Forza online and hated it because of clowns who crashed on purpose. Now I might give this a shot.

Yeah I've been in so many incredible races. 30 lap race at Le Mans through a rainy night, down by 2min but then the leader runs out fuel on the final lap, gifting me the win(!) for instance. Such a rush, I was sweating!
If GTS can amplify that with its even bigger online focus , it would be an absolute dream.

After many races like that, racing vs AI is just so dull in comparison.

 

[Callibretto]

Is there a logical explanation why I got penalty when I got bumped from behind? Is it because I brake too early? or I tried to enter their lines in a turn or something.?

 

[Ammogeddon]

God dammit. Managed to do the first set of the challenges and a couple of the overtake missions before the server went down.

Oh well, I’m leaving the screensavers running, sooo beautiful.

 

[Caayn]

Wait, the game itself isn't available while the server is down? I assumed this was just people who were trying to download for the first time.

Probably done solely to ensure that the demo is only playable between two specific time points.

 

[bombshell]

Not a good selling point to put a maintenance as soon as the demo is supposed to be out. Somehow i can still do the driving challenges though.

As soon as? It's been live for about 10 hours.

Wait, the game itself isn't available while the server is down? I assumed this was just people who were trying to download for the first time.

It's a limited time demo, so of course everything is disabled if the servers are offline since that's also what will happen to the demo after the 12th.

 

[PhantomThief]

Just got home, excited to play and the servers are down?

Cant I at least do a nice arcade race?

 

[Gestault]

Is there a logical explanation why I got penalty when I got bumped from behind? Is it because I brake too early? or I tried to enter their lines in a turn or something.?

If you're coming in wide into someone else's driving line and braking too hard, that could be a "bad" on you. It always depends on the situation for those calls (which is why videogames can be iffy when they implement them).

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

rally isn't really a strong suit for GT

The physics and wheel feedback are so much better in GT rally modes than Dirt Rally imo.

 

[SlimySnake]

My first online race sucked. People kept crashing into me and then driving off and just worked off the penalty by driving clean in the next sector or two. Only three people ended the game with a penalty and they were already at the bottom while the Cunts who bumped me in the first two laps were sitting up in the top ten with no penalties.

You should not be allowed to work off your penalties. They should accumulate and applied to your final time. Simple.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Downloading the demo, and will hopefully play it tonight. This is gonna be the deciding factor if I get this game now or wait until it is $20-30.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Just got home, excited to play and the seevers are down?

I got the server down message but also another message on top of that saying I'll only be able to race in arcade mode offline. I can't even race in that. It's literally back to the same state it was before the demo went live.

 

[bEAST1N_G]

Just came home from work....cant play because of a server maintance...maaannn

Nah, it's part of how SR counts.
