I mean, it definitely helps that 99.999% of Sport Mode events have an option to rent cars. I don't even remember how long it's been since there was a Sport Mode event where it was actually better to bring your own car. Maybe that one race featuring the BMW M3 E46 at Alsace - Village, where you could even enter one with an engine swap?

yeah I'm not suggesting you can't play the game without grinding. I'm just saying if you happen to want to get all the cars (car collecting is definitely a part of the game right?) in what many people would consider to be some sort of reasonable time frame you'll need to do some grinding - dependent of course on what you define as "reasonable." I myself don't think wanting to do so in a year or less is necessarily unreasonable or impatient...

I have had the game since launch and I still have not had invitations for the Veyron or Veneno. Currently, I have 278 real world car models (excluding VGT rubbish and PD tuned cars)
Don't have any of the 15-20 million Hagerty classics like the GTO, McLaren F1 GTR, McLaren F1, etc.
Gotta grind like a madman for that lol.

yeah I'm not even mentioning invites - that's a whole other kettle of fish :lol:

Off the top of my head there's only been two non-BoP, non-specified-tune Sport Mode races since the start of 2023 - there was the Silvia Sisters-esque race where everyone got annoyed because the Sileighty had the fastest tune but wasn't in the UCD that week, and then there was one random PP limited race in the GR Corolla a few months ago.

There were a few more towards the start of the game I think, but tuning in Sport Mode is definitely an idea PD have cooled off of.

@MIE1992 @ZevZoq if may add another question to the grinding debate...

If you're spending all your game time grinding to buy the cars, when are you going to actually spend time driving the precious things?

I'm on the no-grind side of the fence, and personally I find a good balance between earning credits 'organically' to buy the cars AND custom races etc. in order to actually race the vehicles. All good sources of credits and no hard labour.

I don't spend all my game time grinding. I spend non-game time grinding. Grinding is done when I have a half hour here and there...it's couch time with the controller. When I have a decent chunk of time to commit to the game, the wheel rig comes out and I mostly focus on the weekly TTs and also doing the primary thing I love to do in GT games - pick random cars from my garage (hence the desire to have all the cars) and do laps at Nordschleife...

Witch models are you refering to when you talked about pd tuned cars, because the sema winners is tuned cars but are real cars,

I did a lot of Le Mans and when I bought a car I used this car and continued grinding.

I would also like to do more different things to earn credits. But unfortunately the payout is just too unequal. Do Le Mans and earn 825k in 30 minutes. Do three races you enjoy instead and earn....hm, maybe 250k or so? I like to do time trials on Nordschleife. I've done hundreds of laps there. But those don't pay anything.
Maybe a fixed payout per km/mile driven would be a solution?

More like time tied to amount of gas and brake pedal used. If you tied time to credits people would just rip tomahawks for days at SSRX or something. I do think that those who enjoy Time Trials and free roam lobbies need a payout somehow though.

Yep, @F4H Super GT got to play with someone who allows me to live entirely in his head. It's roomy too.

It's made markedly more obvious by the fact I'm not, never have been, and never will be an A+ :lol:

When I say PD tuned, I mean the likes of the Gr.4 Mustang, Gr. 3 Corvette etc. Not officially licensed cars, just ones tuned in the virtual world by PD. I have no problems with the Sema winners because they are real cars.

I thought it was cool to join a race with you then questioned everything when you plowed through everyone at turn one without braking :lol:
 
From August all new PS5 games have to be ready for PS5 Pro certification.

Makes you wonder just how long 1st Party Studios have been working on the system.

Sony is asking developers to create a new PS5 Pro-exclusive graphics mode in games that combines Sony’s new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling to 4K resolution with a 60fps frame rate and ray-tracing effects.

A fixed resolution increase from 1440p to 2160p would also qualify as a PS5 Pro Enhanced game. Developers could also choose to enable ray-tracing effects and get the PS5 Pro Enhanced label without improving resolution or frame rates. If a developer wants to target 60fps instead of 30fps with the same resolution, this may also qualify as a PS5 Pro Enhanced game.

Simply running a game at a more stable frame rate on PS5 Pro is not enough for the Enhanced label, though. Sony also won’t add the label to games that run with a variable resolution and see increased resolution on the PS5 Pro that doesn’t improve the maximum resolution. So if a game moves from 1440p–2160p variable to 1800p–2160p variable, this will not qualify for the Enhanced label.

Developers will need to update their games to Sony’s latest SDK to take advantage of PS5 Pro features.

Sony’s PS5 Pro is real and developers are getting ready for it

Sony is pushing developers to focus on ray tracing.

I watched it live @Famine and knew by the end of turn 1 that it couldn't have been you. :lol:

He did have me going for a short while there 'though. I remember being impressed that you were apparently an A+ driver. I thought to myself, "well, it makes sense seeing as he's been driving in GT since Adam was a boy". :gtpflag:
 
Welp. Polish site killed surprise.:D

The Chevelle is pretty much the only interesting one. Skoda VGT might be a crazy drive, potentially. The EV thing, yeah nah.

The good thing about those is… Afeela is out of the way, another VGT too. The May update could be veeeeryyyy interesting. :)

I know Skoda VGt was rumored earlier. What else VGTs are there waiting to be revealed?

I really like the Skoda's colour combo in the first pic recreating the rallying 130RS at the 1977 Montecarlo rally

Nice with the Chevelle. Muscle Car Menu with the Chevelle, Camaro and Corvette? Would be cool if the GTO showed up in the LCD.
