Truth is GT was never going to go down that road.
Those other races sell poor even compare to GT worst selling game.
It will get more simmy but it will never get fully hardcore .

Does the old beta time zone glitch to get daily rewards still work?

I don't disagree with any of that, but it's also a chicken-egg problem. Limited time to play a limited demo where online is the focus of the game. I have to evaluate the major part of the game they're basing the $60 value prop on, so... ¯_(ツ_/¯
Also, some of those tracks afaik aren't available in arcade mode (unless they unlock?), like the Autodrome I played last night. I'm not super excited by the default demo tracks so I'm hoping I can find something I can sink my teeth into.
You can practice lap any of the tracks that are available for the daily races. Don't enter and just go straight to qualifying. You can get as much time as you need to figure out the track from there (preferably with the car you'd select for your entry). Half an hour or so should be more than enough to get a good idea of how the track works and then you can go from there.
Seems to only be available in the custom races for now. I saw the option and assumed you'd be able to make it a global setting but nope... I hope they allow you to make it a global setting in the full game.
You're doing it wrong. Just pound your way to the podium, haha.
Crossing my fingers on a Mustang then, lol. Is it in the arcade mode?
i'm using thx mode on a panasonic plasma (model gt30). it's never given me problems. i use this mode for both films and games (game mode looks hideouswhich is why i don't use it, plus: the lag in thx mode is barely noticeable so i'm fine with that).
sharpness is set to 5 (out of 10) in this mode. i tried decreasing the sharpness, but it only helps a tad.
the fact that you say you haven't seen much aliasing really makes me think there's something wrong on my end. or maybe the game is bugged. or something.

Okay I can respect that, its just that your first post came off with some elitism.
To each their own.
The references to gt academy maybe were not the best ones, never the intention to clain some bs about personal accolades and stuff, i tried to put in context that it was the impression of someone who has played the series for hundreds and hundreds of hours.
But i bet that if really fast people like the Lacombe brothers would say something, they would also mention some shortcomings, specially considering the competitions in place for 2018 and beyond.
The whole esports and gt academy focus is what produces this confusion.
As people have said before, a hardcore sim makes little sense marketwise, more reason to question the focus they chosed in this title.

I've read that they will be, but I too am looking for a more concrete answer. I prefer the standard edition if we can earn everything ourselves.
How is OLED softer than an LCD? OLED TVs are fixed pixel displays just like LCDs, and with 1:1 mapping they will look as sharp as anything.

Mr Quality knows what's up. Mostly. Mr Frame is why SR needs to exist.

Semi-related: Overtaking (cleanly) on the BB Raceway thing is almost impossible. Like, entirely impossible. Rather frustrating.

Europe here and it's the complete opposite for me, on par with how it was in the beta, 90% of racers are clean and respectful, theres usually one bad/moron in each race but hes out of the picture fast
edit: hell i just had a great race on suzuka east with some fast clean spaniards

Cars are generally really heavy at the limit, they all have a lot of weight and it all becomes amplified at high speeds. Unless you've been to track days and really pushed a car you'll never really get to feel it. That feeling of "weight" decreases once you start getting your weight transfers right. I can't say it's one of my complaints when it comes to the physics model here.
Ive seen it somewhere in a car select menu, just can't remember where exactly. There's also both the standard road Mustang GT (5.0) and the GT3 version.

There needs to be NeoGAF lobby setup againThe Fia license/award thing adds to the confusion, like what do they see it becoming? A yearly competition thing?

Really enjoying this demo, now I need to decide between this, PC2 and Forza.

Man, this crash to desktop error is really annoying. Can't resolve it. Did test, lobby race, quick race. Still instant crash anytime I try to enter options. I need to turn off this fuck awful music!!!!

Ahh thanks! It didn't dawn on me that we can sit and practice without entering.

Well, for context, last night on Autodrome there was a 12 car pile-up in front of me within 30 seconds of race start. During the same race, in every tight turn there would be at least one person in front of me (or into the back of me) that overshot the turn at high speed and took out someone with them. It's hard to have a nice race in conditions like that.
Private lobbies might be the only cure for that unless they fix the penalty system.

I've been able to jump on and play online races with no track knowledge. It just means that I can't win I have to just drive safely with traffic. I don't come in last because I still beat people who spin off the track and basically dnf. But it's true without track knowledge, you can't really go fast and drive safely with traffic.
This is just a matter of having some patience and knowing when to yield to faster traffic and how to safely offer them a pass.
Sign me up.
Try going to options inside a race. Then try it outside in the main menu. Worked for me.

I am in Spain, download the beta from the ES Store but I play using my Brazilian account. I only play against USA, Brazil, sometimes one or two guys from Mexico/Colombia/Chile... I dont have problems with lag but its wierd that the matchmaking uses my account country instead of my actual location =/ It would also be much nicer to race against people of more than just 3 countries...

Still no luck. Done pretty much everything recommended. Continues to instant crash.
This is where Im at right now as well. Shame none of them really knocked it out of the park as a complete package as they are all screwed up in their own unique ways. Weird year to be a sim racing fan. Think Im going GTS for now. Anticipating huge price drops though for F7 and PC2 on Black Friday.
Played it for half an hour. Bored me to tears. The UI is clunky and it's just not that visually impressive on OG PS4. I just wanted to play some online racing but every room kept saying I lacked the requirements to play. I made my own room and only one person joined.
I think Forza Horizon 3 has ruined serious racing games for me.

Are you playing on a wheel or the standard controller? It's easy to overdrive the car and push it too hard without any feedback and it can snap at the limit. It doesn't "feel" like it should, but any car will misbehave if you simply heave the wheel all the way to one side and floor it. Small, light car like that and it can also be hard to keep the center of mass stable. I had this exact same thought originally but remembered you have to keep a soft touch. In a game mode where you can adjust the suspension settings it would be fairly easy to dial a lot of this out.
The FF drivetrain N100 and N200 cars don't really have this problem, of course, but you can overdrive those into understeer easily instead.
The N3-400 and Gr4s are probably the easiest to drive via intuition alone without additional practice.
Play 1 race and the crash i gone
The problem is there are already broad appeal racers. GT was something special and novel in the console market, which played into the sales. Their "broad appeal" game is going to sell less, as so many broad appeal games do.

Mission challenges 6 category kicking my ass, barely getting bronze in these, I have comfortable golds in MC 1 cat and driving school. Gr.X category for my daily today though.

I'm using the controller and I'm being pretty Ginger with it. I've never driven the real Miata, but in my experience most accessible rear wheel drive cars our setup to be very stable from the factory as a matter of safety. The Toyota GT86 in this game for example behaves exactly as I would expect. In most cases when you overcook that car it'll results in an understeer or maybe a lurching brief oversteer before it recovers. The Miata is like riding the teacups at Disneyland!
When GT 5 prologue came out and it had the new Lexus ISF, I thought the same thing. I thought that there was no way they would let a factory chassis out the door handling like that. But then I saw the car on best Motoring, and they turn the traction control off and lo and behold that baby was loose.

What ?
The game is still GT but the broad appeal has now become MP more than SP .
Which is what GTS is more focus on compare to the past .
It 's still simmy but not full hardcore like all GT games.
Only time will tell if this going to work out for them but racing games already sell rather poor compare to other types of games.
Be it hardcore or ones that trying to have broad appeal.

I tried 2 player splitscreen with my 5yo nephew today. He beat me on the dirt track with beginner assists and me without any assists. He was pretty happy about it and really liked the game. When I wanted to show him Scapes, he was outrageously bored
"Oh yea, that looks great, I wanna race there"
"No, it's like a foto course, you get to take beautiful pictures of your favorite cars in real places all around the world"
"Huh?? [wtf, who wants to do THAT] Can we maybe drive another track?"
xD
He did like the different lighting conditions / ToD though.

Not sure I can agree with that. Gran Turismo 5 sold almost 12 million copies. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gran-turismo-series-sales-reach-nearly-765-million/1100-6433205/
Not with a focus on competition/esports.

A traffic cone laying in the middle of the track launch my car 1m in the air!! Almost caused a disaster but finished 2nd after starting 7th. The racing is so good, when you're in a clean room.
Hm. Gonna try to vacuum first then.
Didn't work.
I can't save either, no connection to the Servers...
Thanks nontheless.

From that framerate test video, it's good to see PD have made sure performance is very solid, even with all the nice graphics and polish.
With the last few GT games running well under 60fps, it's good to see PD have made the best looking and best performing GT game yet.

Lol.
I thought I was crazy when I had to drive the ND with traction control haha. Im so used to be able to just gas through a corner like in Forza, its a huge change for me.
That said, you can easily spin one out if you keep jerking the steering wheel suddenly. Do it smoothly and it really doesnt happen that way.
Speaking of handling complaints... the GTI in this game has a ton more understeer than in real life lol.
Ive got the shitty economy tires on my GTI IRL and you can easily fight past the understeer if you push the gas hard enough. So I find it hard to believe the GTI in game has a ton of understeer even with Sports soft tires.
On the other hand, I am driving with the controller after all so maybe thats why?
