So basically trying to make iRacing with GT branding?
Kaz said they could have called this GT7..I doubt we'll see another GT game after this for a long time.
They could, but didn't to signify the change of focus for this game.
Bumping for whatever page this post is on. Doesn't deserve to not be seen.GT Short.
In a nutshell I think.So basically trying to make iRacing with GT branding?

Is it really that lucrative?
Should have called it GT E-Sport
Which is disappointing to many GT fans. They are now competing with the PC sims and losing what made the GT games so popular in the first place.
But without the subscription system? Like GTS will be?they have ~60,000 subscribers at the moment and if it's not your first year, a year of subscription is $100. Also most content is not free with that subscription (new car ~$10).
And is not disappointing to many other GT fans. I was bored to tears by GT5, didn't touch GT6 and am excited by how GT Sport plans to revolutionize the online side of racing games with the FIA integration, organized championships etc.
Pretty much exactly how I see it. Except that at least PD's handling it better than capcom and being completely upfront about what's included and talking about each game mode in depth. Imagine if they had just said "there's a campaign mode in this game" and left it at that.The Street Fighter V of racing games?

The response has been almost entirely negative towards it so not sure how many prefer this approach tbh.
I've read plenty of positive impressions from people who have actually played the game. You've read too many reactionary forum posts from a loud minority with no actual first hand experiences.

I've only read positive things about the driving in the game, has nothing to do with how those people feel about the direction PD is trying to go to, in regards to the content offerings/modes/online focus and not including the traditional offline events.I've read plenty of positive impressions from people who have actually played the game.

I'm sure the driving model is still great but you don't need first hand experience to know that there being so little cars and having no real single player is a huge bummer

Kinda agree with this, but that'll depend upon if there's any unlocks or virtual currencies that might be required and how you go about getting them.It's a little disappointing but as long as I can create my own single races with AI and pick time of day and weather conditions I'll be happy.

FM3: 5.5 million
FM4: 4.6 million
FM5: 2 million
FM6: 1.5 million
GT6 was right between FM4/5 in terms of sales, which is when it launched too.
I really hope this game is a quality racing game. I think it can still be solid without dynamic rain and lengthy career mode- that career mode stuff really isn't selling racing games anymore (look at Forza's current gen sales, nothing special).

Easy to see diminishing return on "this type of game." Even when FM6 was much higher quality than FM5. GT6 was right between FM4/5 in terms of sales
I'm trying to find reasons of buying this game when all I read about are the features that won't make it in.
Guess I'll wait for GT7 or a discount on this.
I am pretty certain there are weather and time of day options. Dynamic means it won't change during the course of the race like it does in Driveclub for example. It's not ideal but it's certainly better than nothing.You won't be able to even do that.
Gran Turismo Sport Will Not Feature Dynamic Time or Weather
If it wasn't for PSVR I wouldn't even bother with this until it hit the bargain bin.
Hmm good point. I wonder how they'll handle that. If memory serves in past GT games everything in Arcade mode was fully unlocked but it's been a while since I played 6.Kinda agree with this, but that'll depend upon if there's any unlocks or virtual currencies that might be required and how you go about getting them.
If you have full access to all of the goodies in arcade mode I'll miss the sense of progression a career mode provides, but if the racing is good enough and I can set up interesting events I doubt I'd miss that for long.

No, you only have access to about 40-50 cars and can't change the setup or tune them (some them are rally expensive though and it's a nice selection).Hmm good point. I wonder how they'll handle that.

Looks like GT 7 Prologue.

You will be able to pick conditions before starting a race in Arcade Mode, they just won't change during the race.
We opted to not have the transitions in the race this time in order to raise the framerate and the quality of the image *during* the race. So the user will be able to set that before they enter the race. So youll still be able to have night races, morning, races at dawn, dusk, and so on.
This is not what I had in mind for Gran Turismo on PS4
The typical "online focused game should be f2p" opinion that this out of touch minority of the market has. More games are moving to this and it's working out and selling well.
a lot of people seem disappointed but I'm willing to give them a chance. The old formula was revolutionary in the 90s but is beyond stale in 2016. Time to change things up.
Man you all about everything. It isn't any worse, it's just different. I love how everyone was making a call for change and now that it's different, you all are bitching.Either way you don't release a half baked GT game at $60 just to announce a full GT game soon after at the same price.
That's a great way of killing GTS altogether.
I honestly think GTS is it for the next few years.
There is no evidence to support that driving online even more stops people from driving like jerks.
