To quote old man Biff Tannen, “there’s something very familiar about all this”. GT Sport Daily Race regulars will be feeling a twinge of deja vu this week, at least about two of the races.
GTPlanet’s own comprehensive encyclopedia of the Gran Turismo series, GTPEDIA, is growing in size again today, with a free 174-page update to incorporate all the facts and stats of GT Sport.
It’s a new week, new month, new year, and new decade, and the first GT Sport Time Trials of the 2020s bring a classic GT feel with a brand new vibe. Both tracks are part of the game’s post-launch update content, as is the car you’ll use in at least one of the events.
As anyone who’s picked up a copy of GTPEDIA will know, there’s a lot of facts and a lot of history in Gran Turismo. The game series hit 22 years of age in 2019, and the 2020s will more than likely see a fourth decade of Gran Turismo games.
We’ve only just closed out the second season of GT Sport’s 2019/20 FIA Exhibition Series, but the third is already upon us. It’s a little sooner than you might think as well, so be sure to read on so you don’t end up getting caught out.
We’re visiting two continents this week with the GT Sport Daily Races, as we close out the year — and indeed decade. You’ll find Asia at both ends of this round, with Daily Race A taking place on the highways of Tokyo and Daily Race C heading to Fuji.
The tail end of the year is often a special time for Gran Turismo fans. Ten of the 12 core games made their way into the world in the last three months of the year, and so many celebrate anniversaries around this time. So, for that matter, do PlayStation consoles themselves.
If you’ve been enjoying the festivities over the last few days, it might be time to put the turkey sandwich down and pick the game controller up. We’re celebrating the return of Gran Turismo’s oldest real-world circuit, Laguna Seca, with some special events at the track.
Players hoping to spend some time with GT Sport over Christmas might be encountering a few issues with their plans. Just in time for the start of festivities, the game’s servers are experiencing some issues which prevent players from connecting reliably. With the majority of the game’s functionality tied to this connection, including saving the game, it might mean that very little is accessible.
The last GT Sport Time Trials of 2019 are underway, and provide something of a varied challenge which serves to highlight just how much the game has evolved in the last two years. Both tracks and both car options are in fact part of the game’s post-launch update content.
There’s a little less choice than usual in this week’s GT Sport Daily Races, with a pair of one-make events making for very homogeneous grids — but all is not quite what it seems.
Polyphony Digital will give us an early Christmas present next week, in the shape of a brand new GT Sport game update — the third in four weeks. However, unlike the bug fix update from earlier in the month, this one is set to bring us plenty of new content.
