With the launch of just around the corner on 17th October, there’s a lot of exciting information to share about the new game. We wanted to provide a round-up of some of the announcements that you may have missed, as well as some new details for the dedicated amongst you.GT Sport is built from the bottom up to provide race fans with something different, whether you’re a Gran Turismo first timer, or one of our veterans from the last 20 years of titles – GT Sport will offer something for everyone. So buckle up as we take you through eight things that you need to know in order to be fully prepared to take to the track and race!

Prepare to race with Campaign ModeCampaign Mode gives players the chance to improve driving skills across four different categories and tutorial videos. Each of these modes play a key role in making every driver better prepared for racing against others. Driving School teaches drivers everything from basic operations to advanced racing techniques to help make everyone an expert behind the wheel.
In Racing Etiquettes players learn signals, flags and safety car protocols to ensure fair and respectful race conditions for all.As you naturally increase your skill level, you will be awarded with a multitude of vehicles in various race groups, as well as in-game currency to allow you to further expand your dream garage. Keeping things fair – staying connectedThis year’s Gran Turismo includes a world first – the only video game with an online Championship endorsed by the world’s motoring governing body, the FIA. As a competition endorsed by the same organisation that oversees some of the biggest races in the world online competition has been endorsed by FIA rules supremo Charlie Whiting, and we’re taking racing integrity very seriously for the FIA GT Championship.In order to ensure fair racing for all, GT Sport will require an internet connection for the majority of functionality. This connectivity requirement is to ensure that progress, car availability and driver ratings are properly maintained at all times.This doesn’t mean you’ll need PlayStation Plus though. As with all PlayStation titles, PS Plus will only be needed for the online multiplayer, portions of the Arcade Mode, including limited two-player split screen, single player races on select tracks and time trials can still be played offline. Always race an equal – Advanced MatchmakingThere’s nothing worse than taking to the track and finding yourself pulling up alongside the next racing superstar in your first race.The matchmaking system in GT Sport has been tuned to ensure that racers of similar abilities are pitted against each other.

So, when you start off fresh, you’ll be placed against drivers of a similar ability. As you build up time on the track, you’ll be rematched accordingly.For those that are curious, the matchmaking is based on three key metrics:. Driver Level – Your driver level increases with XP gained in races. Sportsmanship Rating (‘Sport Mode’) – Just like in real world driving, we want to reward those that drive, and race, clean. So stick to the track, and limit the number of collisions to secure a positive sportsmanship rating.
Driver Rating (‘Sport Mode’) – Starting on E, you can build towards achieving the coveted “A” rating – but watch out, a bad sportsmanship rating will limit your ability to progress.4. Set it up your way – car customizationWant to set up your vehicle for road, dirt, or drift? The Car Settings within your Garage allow you to change your tires, brake bias, suspension, aerodynamics, drivetrain, transmission, and power to weight ratio – basically anything you’d want to tune, you can!That’s not the only way you can customise your ride though. In GT Sport, every mile driven means extra rewards for you; with Mileage Exchange, you can trade in-game miles for a host of customisation options for your driver avatar and vehicles within your Garage.
You’ll still use the in-game credits earned from racing (or pre-ordering) to purchase cars. Scapes pushes the boundaries of tech and innovations in photographyThis is not your traditional photo mode. The Scapes feature in GT Sport is a new format of photography developed from a True HDR workflow and physics-based rendering technologies. Basically, each photo location contains all the light energy information of that scene, which means your favourite car can realistically be placed in hundreds of real world locations.Take a look at the below to see what we mean.6. Drive on your own termsWith powerful AI-assisted systems, even the most novice driver can get the most out of driving some of the most sought-after cars in the world! The high-level driving aids can help with everything from steering, to throttle control, to braking.
For the more seasoned drivers, fear not – all aids can be switched off, allowing you to race for realOnline racing will feature a mix of assisted and unassisted racing, so there will be something for all levels when you take your race experience to the world.7. Go one step closer with PlayStation VRWant to take it to that extra level? Then strap yourself in and check out Gran Turismo Sport in VR, featured within the “Arcade mode”Here you’ll be able to go head to head (1:1) against another AI opponent in over 135 cars on 27 new and classic tracks that will take you from the Japanese metropolis to the Mexican-American border. You’ve been seeing it all wrongIn preparation for GT Sport, and designed to make the most of the power of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro, Polyphony Digital has developed brand new capturing equipment used in conjunction with HDR to ensure that the cars are as beautifully recreated in the game as they are in real life.What does that actually mean? Well, that Ferrari and McLaren you’ve been racing before don’t actually look like that!
The technology hasn’t existed to faithfully represent the Ferrari Red and McLaren Orange in a video game, so not only does the game look great, it’s now as faithful a recreation as you can get!That’s all from us for now folks, but not all GT Sport has to offer. Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we take a closer look at some of the game’s key features, including Campaign mode, Arcade mode, and the FIA GT Championships FIA championship through our GT Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram channels. The thing is, developers always think all everyone wants is multiplayer competitive “esports”, but really very few do.
People want to have fun, not sit around in lobbies waiting for maybe an occasional decent match with people who don’t strive to win at any cost, regardless of how boring it is. I have no problem with competitive modes, and have done a load, but I often can’t be bothered to go through all the rigmarole entailed.Look at any fighting game, a genre where developers constantly remove single player content in favor of concentrating on ranked and competitive. They’ll always have achievements for “play 10 online matches” or something similar. The number of people who have this is usually between 10-20%, and the number who have the “play 100” (so are regular players of online) is usually about 1-5%. The Driving School may teach people how to drive, but too many simply have no intention of racing ‘properly’.
My experience in the beta was that every time I seemed to be improving my own Sportsmanship Rating, some cretin would T-bone me at a sharp turn and my rating would suffer as a result, so I didn’t really get the chance to drag myself clear of the plebs and get placed with like-minded, fair-racing competitors.So it seems it’s going to be Project Cars 2 for me. Give me an extensive single-player game any day. So I can’t play single player content offline? That’s why I skipped Need for Speed and that’s why I’m going to skip this. I know it sounds ridiculous to even compare Gran Turismo to Need for Speed but here we are and you brought this upon yourself.You can see where I’m from so you know I don’t have any problems with internet connection in general. What I do have problems with is the idea of someone else being able to dictate my playing. If there’s a malfunction or maintenance in the game server or some angry RL-failure wants attention with petty DDoS or there really is a something going wrong with my internet provider, I can’t play.
Something like that happens somewhere around the world and suddenly I can’t play a single player game in my home. I know it doesn’t happen all the time but it can happen at any time and if it happens once it’s too often. 1 No proper career mode.2 No proper career mode.3 No proper career mode.4 No proper career mode.5 No proper career mode.6 No proper carreer mode.7 No proper career mode.8 No proper carreer mode.And all this EQUALS NO BUY.
There isn’t really anything else to say. I guess the PS2 era and Forza THIS gen static time and weather is a massive downgrade to the series too, well done there.Also got to love the way the “Campaign” was number 1 on the list. Yeah, because you were SO quick to tell us 2 years ago at PGW 2015 what the “Campaign” entailed. Oh what a sad state of affairs both GT and PD are in. What exactly have you being doing the past 4 years whilst Turn 10 have put out TWO full Forzas on Xbox One? You’re having a laugh if you think I’m paying full price for this with the limited real tracks. My money is on Project Cars 2 so I’ll maybe pick this up when it’s £20 and my interest in PC2 wanes.
Your big mistake was releasing GT6 on PS3 a week after the PS4 launched. About time you were wound up like some of Sony’s other once great studios they had no issue closing like Psygnosis/Liverpool and Evolution Studios. The whole game feels like a massive mis-step; the “campaign ” just sounds tedious. Drive in a straight line, knock down cones – mind numbing; but it’s been accepted in the past because you had to open up the licenses and progress in the campaign.
That it’s being billed as some sort of actual offline campaign mode is deluded.But it just baffles me why they haven’t got a regular campaign they’ve got the tracks and cars done already. They must have seen the negative feedback for the last 3 months??? Surely they could have cobbled something together in a couple of weeks? All the assets are there; just doesn’t make sensethe VR support was initially so exciting and then to have it watered down so much; it just isn’t inticing at all now and that’s a shame.The online sounds really interesting in theory, but usually is a massive switch off as you usually have at least 2-3 players who just smash everyone off the track and you’re lucky if you can break free and get a decent race.Som.

I feel like I should have got an Xbox One as racers are my favourite games. The only thing stopping me is I invested in a G29, as my G25 was made obsolete with PS4, and I’m not buying another wheel. The third Forza on Xbox One will be out before we get this joke. It’s really sad given the past GT games but there’s only so long you can keep going on past glory.
Thankfully there have been plenty of other decent racers on PS4 to make me not regret my wheel purchase. I might have to go back to PC which I give up on about 5 years ago. VR functionality soooo very limited. I bought my PSVR for GT!! It was supposed to be fully supported! Happy with it still, thanks to DiRT Rally, DriveClub VR and also quite some other fantastic games (RE7, Battlezone and so on). But from fully supported to just 1v1, offline?
Come on!!I don’t mind that it is not photorealistic in my headset, I just want it to be in VR.At least let me race online 1v1; against 1 AI opponent, it is basically just hot lapping And please, do not show us a video where GT Academy winners are talking about VR, and how great it is: in your video, you see multiple cars on track, but in reality, this is just not true! You are purposely deceiving us, the fans.

Although I don’t know if I can still call myself a fan now. Had all the games except for GT1. Really really not sure if I will even buy this oneAnd no proper campaign oh PD, what have you done. “Keeping Things Fair — Staying ConnectedThis year’s Gran Turismo includes a world first — the only video game with an online Championship endorsed by the world’s motoring governing body, the FIA.

It’s funny, really, that Polyphony chose to make an entire game out of the part of GT that I always thought was a tedious chore – the licence tests.
![Gran Gran](http://assets.vg247.com/current/2016/05/gran_turismo_sport-9.jpg)
Looking through the ‘8 things I need to know about GT Sport’, it strikes me that I don’t particularly want Polyphony to make me jump through yet more hoops in a whole driving school. And I don’t need ‘advanced AI assist’ either; I know how to drive to a standard I’m happy with already.
I similarly don’t want to be compelled to follow tight FIA rules (with which I am largely unfamiliar), I just want to play a fun relaxing game that I enjoy. And I’m not interested in being matched against anonymous strangers that the game thinks drive as well or poorly as I do.Driving and collecting a diverse range of cars is the appeal of GT for me and as such Photo Mode was always pointless. If GT Sport consisted of nothing more than GT4 but on the PS4 with the Porsche licence and all the cars that were in GT1 and GT2 in high-def, I would pay full wha.

Such negatively. They never said this was GT7.
This is their first New Generation game. It is basically a prologue game.
As for the career, the career is just online. So rather than racing the same race repeatedly to grind the cash for your next car. You will have to grind against other players, not much different to a lot of games these days. Besides I would rather take 2-3 months grinding up, makes it more satisfying.
If it only took a few weeks I would loose interest pretty quick. Pretty much every game requires online connection these days. PS+ is only a few £ each month. Actually, Kazunori Yamauchi insinuated that this is GT7. He was quoted during a interview which can be found on gtplanet.net:“For me, Gran Turismo Sport is Gran Turismo 7. Gran Turismo Sport is something that marks the beginning of a new generation or era.
When you consider Gran Turismo 1-6 as the first era, GT Sport marks a new generation moving forward.”After reading all the comments, its clear there is still a huge demand for campaign modes. I think that they could have created a game to appease both single and multiplayer gamers. It’s not uncommon to have both a fun campaign mode and a well developed multiplayer platform.
After a fairly long wait, we've finally got a chance to play Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4 - and it's more than a little underwhelming. Kazunori Yamauchi has said GT Sport offers a level of innovation not seen since the first Gran Turismo. Having played it for 30 minutes before today's big reveal conference, I'm not entirely sold.
Perhaps it's because we've been spoilt by the splendour of Forza Motorsport, already into its second iteration on Xbox One, or Assetto Corsa, which is about to make its console debut later this summer. Gran Turismo Sport, however, looks, sounds and plays just like Gran Turismo 6 on the Playstation 3.
It's a compliment of sorts - Gran Turismo 6 is still, a few years and a generation later, an exceptionally handsome game, and Sport benefits from a solid foundation. Right now, though, it doesn't look to do much with that foundation - to an untrained eye (albeit one that's poured countless hours into Gran Turismo 6) it's hard to tell the difference.
Even more disheartening, it's hard to hear the difference. I tried some of the noisier cars available in the current build, and the GT3 458 Ferrari droned rather than screamed, the Corvette whined rather than rumbling the earth as it does in real life. (For his part, Yamauchi says the sound has been worked upon significantly since Gran Turismo 6 and that it'll meet people's expectations - although I played it on headphones, perhaps it's best to wait until it's away from a busy show floor).
Still, it handles like a treat, the 20 cars on offer on the 6 tracks available for today's event acquitting themselves well (the final game, it's worth noting, will offer a generous 137 premium model cars and 19 locations with some 37 track layouts). Existing tracks such as Willow Springs, Brands Hatch and the Nordschleife are joined by two new tracks, an oval called Northern Isle Speedway and a street circuit around Tokyo that looks similar to the classic Route 246.
Cars are split into four distinct groups, with the more fictional GT Vision concept cars being introduced alongside some other new additions. There are some neat new GT3 cars, and taking the fresh Audi R8 around the Nordschleife is a pretty electric experience, even if the frame-rate chugs with 19 other cars on the circuit. Hopefully there's room for optimisation on what's always felt like a stopgap for the series before a Gran Turismo 7 proper.

On the plus side, there's at least a nice new online focus for GT Sport, and it's already like looking a much smarter, deeper taster than the earlier Prologue games. The menu is split, with a campaign across four areas - Beginner's School, Circuit Challenge, Mission Challenge and Racing Etiquette - while the online Sport mode seems to be the heart of the new game, offering scheduled daily races in a mode that looks to take its cue from iRacing, while a calendar nestled on the main menu offers up a regular series of live events.
Digital Foundry on the monitors that you should be considering.
Perhaps what's most heartening is that Gran Turismo is as barmy as ever. There's a new Museum mode that gives you access not only to videos and assets provided by car manufacturers - it also gives you a whistle-stop tour of art, opera and high culture relevant to the year each car was made. Yamauchi, it seems, has mellowed in his maturity. What's most impressive - and what I'm struggling to get my head around at the moment - is that you can get a real-life FIA licence by playing Gran Turismo Sport, and one that's recognised by 22 different automobile bodies around the world.
We'll find out more over the course of today's reveal event, and hopefully there'll be some more promising signs once we get to speak to Yamauchi himself. For now, though, don't expect to be blown away by the grand old dame of driving games' debut on the PlayStation 4.
