I like fantasy tracks and all. But seriously? With the budget of PD and the focus on esports, surely real circuits would have been a focus?

It must be a good sign that there is at least one car that is not from the 2010 era. That and the Civic Type-R is a great addition as well.
I'm sure it's what everyone was hoping as well, considering the inclusion of the FIA. However, this is the first PS4 game with them, so I'm sure they're trying to show everyone what "they" have.

Fantasy cars and fantasy tracks. Disappointing.

Some beautiful screenshots there. However, I am still not feeling remotely hyped about GT Sport. Oddly, the thing which may swing it for me is to see a fully featured Livery Editor as I have wanted one of those forever.

I can almost touch the leather of that One-77 interior shot.

For you , maybe , but i'm all for fantasy tracks , if they are good , and in PD's case , they really are.
To each his own.

I haven't missed your point at all. We all have our own opinion on it. More real world tracks would be fantastic of course. But Gran Turismo was made of fictional tracks in the first place. It wouldn't be GT without them. They've Included Real World Tracks & Fictional ones to at least balance the rosta. Time will tell when It's released how this reflect with the rest of the fans but now GT Sport is properly finished this time around It will give PD to work on proper DLC for the game Instead of the smaller releases we've seen in the past.

If you didn't than you're really portraying it as a different view than what I stated with your original reply. FIA's inclusion and the focus the game, people automatically assumed that we'd see an inclusion of a lot more real world tracks. At this point it is a little confusing what exactly the FIA is contributing at this point, if it isn't to be more towards real, and less towards fantasy. Not an issue by me, just that this is a consensus going around the board for some.
Sure, it was, in the beginning. There is no reason why it should stick to that philosophy now with everything that is available to them. It's just leaving a sour taste, most likely because the small track list in general, probably. It was the most likely assumption that would have made sense considering the inclusion of the FIA. Like I said, I don't mind either way, but these are things I've noticed that get brought up a lot more than not.
Sure, that's true. It also wouldn't mean that it's not GT if it included more real world tracks.
Hasn't the track list been more biased towards fantasy, though? I can't find a complete list.
Missed. my. point. I'm not talking about people thinking that there should be no fantasy tracks.

I Think that maybe for launch it Is easier to have fictional tracks meeting FIA regulations that existing tracks that require láser scanning and meet other regulations?? That's the ony logical reason that I found :/

That wouldn't hold much weight considering the fact that if they where so strict to not allow tracks that aren't laser scanned, than how are all these make believe tracks making it in? I don't see that as a plausible reason.

I won't scatter the thread board to try prove anything to you.
But at this point how can you give a non biased opinion into what the FIA are actually contributing towards the Game? No one besides PD actually know what the FIA have planned for GT Sport and what that will actually mean for Players. With all due respect though that consensus isn't shared by every GT Fan on GTPlanet. Respectfully It's your opinion. But without being a fortune teller myself I would not know what the future brings for the Series once the Game is released & The after DLC Support the game will receive to bring real world tracks.
Again I didn't miss your point. I simply replied to your statement that the FIA's Inclusion was leaving a "Sour Taste" which in my opinion is not & Isn't my consensus on how I feel about it at all.

I was thinking the same thing. PD really over did it with the jets.
Edit: PD knows how to make a good track, so I look forward to running the fantasy ones.

I'm not sure what you're meaning by this, but sure, ok.
Bias had nothing to do with the opinions being formed. It's not too hard of a connection to make, to be honest. It's just the peoples fault for making assumptions, although, I don't feel it was a wrong one to make in the first place.
That is true. To bad they wont tell us.
Well yeah, a consensus is not an idea shared by every single person. That's what it means.
Except that it is. Sure it's not to you, but I made sure to specify some people, not all.

In the PS1/PS2 era perhaps, not so much since then IMO. The new tracks look boring and generic, perfectly flat and smooth with no character whatsoever. I don't see any signature corners or extra details that really make them stand out like some of the classic older tracks. Walls and barriers close to the trackside giving dirty online players the chance to simply rub you out at will with apparently little effect on their driver rating. I don't see PD coming up with any El Capitans or Red Rock Valleys here. They look like glorified course maker tracks to me, made with minimal creative effort but with lots of work put into making everything pretty and high def.

Ye,s but maybe the strict rules are for real tracks, but with a fantasy track that does not exist in real life the laser scanned thing would be out of the requirements and just should meet regulations as safety zones etc. Just guessing but at the end the lack of real tracks it really hurts :/

Might come later on a DLC. hopefully. I wanted Circuit De La Sarthe and Spa tho since it fits perfectly for GTS

The car list may be sparse, but their choices are much better. The civic is a fine addition. Fiesta am cry though.

Codemasters dont laser scan all the tracks for the F1 games, which is a *genuine* FIA series.

If it helps any, there's a video on the trailers, videos and screenshots thread that shows off both livery editor and scapes.
