Gran Turismo SPORT | OT | Putting it all on the line

[Mr. Pointy]

So i just bought this as it was only £11 and i finished forza 7......so far i have very mixed inital impressions.

But one thing my brain cant get is how terrible the chase cam is. It feels off. Like im steering the track as opposed to the car. The car feels like its completely fixed and only the road moves. Is there any way i can fix this? Also cant you add braking colours to the driveline?

Sorry this is my first GT since number 3. Im sure i seen drivlines with blue and red to brake in previous GT games videos.

If you want to play in Forza style chase cam, this is what I do.

Pause during a race > Options > Advanced Settings > Adjust Chase View Camera

Set Chase View Camera Sensitivity to 0.0
Set Chase View Rotation Axis Offset to 0
Set Chase View Distance to Near

This is the closest you'll get to a Forza style camera. That being said, the game is built around Bumper Cam or Bonnet / Roof Cam.

 

[Azerach]

Is it me or decals and liveries in general took a massive hit? The look super blurry now?

Fixed in todays patch.

Megane Trophy getting hit with the nerf bat again. I do think they should bump its power up 1% to give it better straight line speed.

Both Vipers got nerfed yet the 911 gets a boost? Do PD not check the Top 10 for the dailies? The Viper has never topped a daily.

And in what world is the Gr4 Ferrari needing a nerf?

The update has made the W08 rather more driveable, now that the throttle no longer sticks while downshifting.

Finally after a few hours of grinding the same race over and over I've unlocked the F1 Car, god I wish consoles were more like PCs or older gens where I could just download game saves, I'm never going to get to drive the 20 Million cars at this point. Anyway, car looks great, was so hard to control the backend, kept spinning out, luckily found a setup over on GTPlanet which made it much easier to drive.

They seem to decide these things on whether they think its an unfair advantage or not... just like theres no mirror on hood/roof cam.

This was their explanation:

"GTP: Why is there no rear-view mirror available in the "roof view"?

KY: There is no real technical reason why it is not there, but the roof view is easier to drive with. It might be unfair if [a rear-view mirror] was there. If you make the view too easy for people to use, everyone might just be using that view."

They allowed the rotation on the beta for testing and since chase cam gives the most view around you, im sure they use the same principle of unfair advantage.

They're wrong and its stupid as shit though.

 

[Deleted member 984]

Are there any top racers that use the chase cam? I've always deemed it useless in terms of looking at your points as you end up looking at the car to see its position rather than where you want to be going. Plus you don't get any of visual feedback that is similar to a real car in chase cam.

How very Polyphony, but it's so prevalent on other racing games it just feels broken without it, it almost defeats the purpose of having your own custom livery if you can never spin around your car to see it.

Theres always replays and scapes i guess, both higher quality than on any other racing game

The FIA manufacturers series tonight was very even actually, 7 different manufacturers in the first 7 places and the highest Mégane was 9th. More likely that people don't like the RS01 so didn't go with Renault but it was a surprise to see.

I'm not sure whether it was the A.I. being slow but on some of the straights it did seem like the car was much faster then the one in front, although I only did a handful of laps around the Nurburgring GP circuit, didn't test it out much.
I don't have the PS4 on at the moment but it was either the first or the one posted later in the thread, I'm pretty sure it was the first though. Helped a lot controlling the car, was using the pad.

[Slackbladder]

Just got this as I had to renew my PS+ and so I got the Digital Deluxe for £19. Played all GT games except 6 as I sold my PS3 for a PS4 when it came out.
So far I am enjoying it and it oozes class. Took a little while to get used to the feel of the cars after playing Horizon and Forza games almost exclusively the last 4 years. Game looks good but suffers from low quality reflections (when in cockpit view it's really obvious) and some of the sky boxes are very lo res (playing on PS4 Pro). The cars look great and the HDR is really nice. The menu's are slick and I really like the music. Completed the Beginner and Intermediate Training (?) with all gold. Certainly easier than I thought they would be. Halfway through the challenges and Circuit tests. Need to spend a bit more time but in, I guess 10 or 12 hours made nearly a million. Shame there's a dearth of cars but I'm hopeful more will be added.
Having fun.

This is how I used to play Gran Turismo back on PS1 and PS2 and it's like a duck to water to me. Not only that, it's a lot of fun using chase cam too, especially those Ferrari 458's.

[DHC-Shannow]

So I did the FIA championship races last night and both were eventful but thankfully better than my previous round!

The manufacturers race was GR3 around St. Croix B and I found I really like this track - I qualified in 5th against DR S and A ranked drivers but the guy ahead of me flunked his start and I went into the back of him and got spun - by the time I got to the first bend I was dead last in 20th. I managed to fight back through the pack to finish 7th, having a race long battle with the guy who started 3rd and was also trying to claw his way through. Certainly one of the most entertaining races I've had in a while :-)



I had a similar run in the nations cup, as one of the few non-megane runners I was up against it but the Citroen was noticeably quicker on the straights, just suffered in the corners. I had a bad qualifying and was down in 14th but was capable of putting a top 6 time in so knew I was capable of moving up. It was going ok and I was into the top ten when I had a brain fade at the pitstop and accidentally clicked on do not refuel! Had enough fuel to manage another lap but was up against it and had picked up 2.5 seconds in time penalties too for corner cutting - still managed to climb back up to tenth again by the end but it could've been better.

I think the Merc W08 is still broken. Admittedly the only other frame of reference I have is the V8 F1 car from PCars2, but the Merc seems ridiculously unstable at low speeds, especially in 2nd gear. First corner at Nurburgring and even the AI are spinning out.

I take that corner in 2nd then 9/10 I spin out. Yet if I take it at the same speed but in 3rd gear, everything is fine. That doesn't make any sense to me.

The SMS V8 is nowhere near as unstable at low speeds or on curbs. The Merc W08 gives you no warning—it's just goes. Very frustrating.

I've not tried the car since the update but not spinning in 3rd rather than 2nd does make sense, the higher gear lowers the torque delivery to the rears.... Unless you've not got any accelateror on, where i I guess there will still be more engine braking than in 3rd but you wouldn't expect it to make that much difference. Are you talking about free wheeling through the corner or accelerating out?

I'm freewheeling through the first corner, that's why I'm flummoxed. Unless of course, this is a characteristic of the V6TH? I'm just surprised I'm finding the W08 in GTS more difficult to drive than the V8 in pCars 2.

 

[LightKiosk]

I've been using the W08 on Dragontrail Seaside for a couple hours now. Was able to get a 1:13.085 default tune and assists off outside of TC set to 5 (should've been in the 1:12.700 range but I messed up the final corner).

Compared to the F1500T-A, the W08 is really fun to drive as the shifting is much smoother across the board. I'll probably try it on Suzuka next, but so far I'm digging the W08 on Dragontrail Seaside.
