Gran Turismo Sport now $40 everywhere
- Thread starter Border
- Start date
It has a single player campaign although it's not the what we've had in previous games. That's actually being added through an update in December. What is there, while different, I found to be very fun, some of the races were some of the best seen in a GT game. At this point online is required for saves but not for arcade, scapes, livery editor, etc.
No career mode? Seems like games being released incomplete is being allowed more and more nowadays thanks to the possibility of updates/patches/etc.

What a shitty post that doesn't actually have any clue about the game and would rather talk out of his ass.
Yes, the always online is to save the game which is a core core core function of any video game. But yay, we can look at scapes offline... Thank god we can take pictures of a car offline....
Yes, this post isn't a shit post that calls my post shit while correcting nothing and leaving the thread... But thanks!
The game wasn't launched incomplete, it was structured differently. It actually has a career mode, just a different one and they'll add more stuff soon.
"Structured differently" to mean missing most things of games past and have significantly less content than other racing games it competes with but it's fine because now that sales were underwhelming. You can't say it's not incomplete when they're already promising to release stuff as damage control a month after release, even the developers seem to agree the game isn't complete.
Hyperbole. I bought bf1 for $27 on black Friday last year and it came out on October 23rd.
Cod came out this month and was already $40 this bf.
Gt sold poorly sure. But let's not pretend black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are new.
Ask FIA why the single player portion of a game can't have its own save file?
Listen, I'm not a fan of the online save but I'm also not going to deny that you can do everything with the game offline except online racing. You don't have to like it but they do allow you to play the game offline. To pretend otherwise is just trolling.
Can confirm: I bought it two weeks ago for 60 and I do feel pretty bad.
"Different" is being playful with the meaning of the word. Let's not delude ourselves that GTS has anything like the single-player content (or car/track variety, period) of previous GT games. I returned my copy after experiencing how slim the actual car/track list felt, among some other frustrations, and that wasn't an uninformed decision on my part. I understand more is coming (which is why I'm happy to grab it later on), but don't give more credit than is due.
Ah, I see. Misinterpreted the word "traditional" in the user's post.
I was actually thinking of getting this game as I was a fan of the last GT but I'd rather buy Evil Within 2. I'll wait for the next price drop, probably Christmas.
Is this game bombing? What's with the price drop in Europe first and seemingly now in NA as well.
This is not Gran Turismo 7, but GT Sport. The focus of the game was always the online content. PD and FIA wants to make this an e-sport game. That's why it lacked the usual offline content from the main series and was structured differently.
Obviously the fans didn't like this, so they are trying to satisfy consumers with updates. But that wasn't the plan and the game wasn't incomplete. It was simply a game that most fans didn't want it.
It plays very well with a pad. With more cars, tracks and a career mode this game really will do very well for itself.
$40 is the right price for this game. It should have launched at that price. The Sport mode is still very underdeveloped for being the titular feature of the game.
That being the reason for it. The championship part is definitely true (and actually really cool).
Its exquisite on the controller, and the main reason I switched my time with Project Cars 2 over to this (PC2 is still a great game tho and filled to the brim with content and features -- its just more wheel focused imo).
The GTS demo won me over in about five minutes flat and I had very little interest before that.
If anything that was the least developed mode, especially at launch with its weekly dailies ;p
There's more single player here than people think. Though I am biased towards Circuit Experience.
Is it playing if you're not even allowed to save while offline? You can call me a troll all you want but I don't consider being able to use a photo mode or track editor offline as being able to play offline. I do consider you block saves unless you have an internet connection to be always online however.
I still don't believe that. It doesn't make any sense. Why would it even matter whether or not someone grinded for hours to obtain a car that they used to set the best time with or if they cheated to get the car? Either way they're setting a legitimate time. I know that's what they said, but I do not believe that is true. Logically, it makes no sense. Someone at Sony likely saw this as a way to force always online and limit used sales. They may even have pitched it to FIA as part of the negotiation, but ultimately the reason it exists is not to protect the sanctity of the online competition because...it doesn't.
The hottest of hot takes.
It's amazing the anger that comes out in GTS threads. Keep it coming.
IIRC Kaz said that FIA wanted that to track players progress even in Campaign mode.
Plays beautifully with a controller. I actually recommend disabling most of the driving assists, even for a first-timer, and just relying on lower settings for TCS (and manual vs automatic depending on preference). The assists can muddly the feedback you get from normal driving.
I don't think I've ever seen a big profile game drop as much and as fast as this. It's was 1/3th of the price around here in 6 weeks.
Our rrp is 90-100$, so dropping down to $29 is obscene. That's much a much larger percentage drop than what you posted.
Yes it did. Check user review score on Amazon and Metacritic, also game is 50% off digital in Europe and physical copies were 50% off or more even earlier than black friday.
Please don't. Or at the very least be accurate about it.
Now THIS is how you do some quality snark ;p
GT is one of my all time favourite franchises, but I'll wait till I can get it for a tenner on ebay, this isn't the GT I want.
So you're just playing SP so far and you're enjoying? I'm on board for GT League now, but didn't realize you could get down on this solo only and have enough to do. That's encouraging to hear that I'll have that until League launches.
Yep, its been 100% single player for me since launch, though I don't mainline the game. Circuit experience is great (even with the embedded YouTube videos as a guide), time trials, challenges (which start off slow) and arcade mode. I wouldn't recommend it for those looking for a classic GT career mode though - at least not yet. But if you want single player stuff that will actually improve your understanding of racing at speed and that will improve your times on the track, whats there is tailored to do exactly that.
Its the driving itself which feels so damn good on the pad that won me over, and the quality level of tracks and cars are all top tier rather than the old scattershot mix of premium and standards.
Also absolutely love how the tracks use cones at the side of the track to show braking zones, turn-in and turn exits without having a giant driving line pasted on the road.
There's good stuff there. Just needs to be supported and PD seems like they're fully on board with that.
Definitely not a fan of the mostly-online nature, and do hope it can be improved, but I can understand why its there. I just want them to change how offline progress is treated when a new patch drops.

I think the game is very good, but I agree it's a $40 value.
Had I known this would be so cheap I would have worked around my BF shopping list. Oh well. Does it last all week? GS's cyber sale says they 12.1 online
You'll enjoy the upcoming free December update for the game.

Oh wow, this sounds right up my alley! Thanks friends.
I'll structure it for you:
- Driving School: Similar to license tests in the past, nothing more to say.
- Mission Challenges: Similar to the missions in the past, including 30 minutes races, pit-stop strategy stuff etc.
- Circuit Experience: Learn all the tracks sector by sector, including instructional videos and leaderboards.
- Arcade Mode Single Race: Similar to the Arcade Mode from the past, but with a credits system.
Choose a track, choose a difficulty, pick a car and race with pre-determined rules.
- Arcade Mode Custom Race: Pretty much my personal replacement for the old career.
You can choose any car and track combo and change settings similar to an online lobby.
You can earn credits and the amount is determined by length, difficulty, starting position etc.
Choose between race time, or lap number, opponent class and so on.
Must be hurting if they are dropping it this fast. From a content standpoint, it should have launched at $40. Others racers just have more to offer right now. Hopefully they keep adding more so I can jump back in. In its current state, it is worth $40, but not $60 IMO.
The game will soon be even cheaper when people realize what's actually in this game. Should be pretty cheap on eBay soon.
Seen it for €20 here in the Netherlands since last week, was really tempting but I heard there was not really a singleplayer mode so didn't buy it then. Luckily it was still €20 and with the big December update coming I just bought it, can't wait to play it tomorrow!
