Sure but demo is short for demonstration, aiming to make the consumer buy the full game (GT7 presumeably). So it would be an own goal for PD to release a misleading demo.
no I agree with Lomic, haha I wouldn’t doubt that for some bizarre reason Autumn Ring was part of a demo only. Just like how if you don’t have internet you get to play music rally only and a couple races with a couple cars. At least that’s how I understood it to work. I can’t bring my PS5 to a cabin and paint cars or make some money unless I have internet.
Splitting hairs, but it's described as a trial rather than demo.
I'm pretty sure they're referring to the mainstream audience who could be intimidated by a traditional sim. Not that GT7 doesn't have it's fair share of top players. The larger the playerbase the more opportunity for natural talent to rise to the top.
Same
That's how I interpret it too, they want to appeal to a large base of players that does not play GT7 yet with a luring and easy experience to get them to buy the game. All "serious" simers already know enough GT they don't need any demo.
Whichever way I look at this, I see an overreaction. The iRacing crowd made up their minds a while back.
What about the B-Spec debug that was found a while ago? Was that just to test the AI behaviour or is it something more?
That’s your words, not theirs. “All skill levels” probably means that they have something for beginners as well as for those with more experience.
Not really. Those of us still playing have been seeing vehicle and track updates. Regardless of bug fixes and updated physics, etc. PlayStation celebrating 30 years and having Gran Turismo as a free content to play during the holiday season makes sense. We haven’t seen that in ages.
I have to admit, I was sceptical when they announced they were going to start selling tickets to these.
I don't think the venues are that big, maybe a few hundred seats, and they are in huge metropolitan locations, so I expect they would sell out. I would like to attend one, but I can't find any of my girlfriends who don't think it's all gamerbros and likely not very fun other than to attend and possibly kinda annoying. On the other hand, they think attending an F1 or LeMans event would be 1000x more exciting. Seems there is some room to improve and make things even more appealing to a wider audience. And these gals love PCA and BMWCCA driving events, because they are well organized and coordinated for all. 🤷♀️
While I get your point, don't forget this will be called "My First GT", not "Gran Turismo 7 - Trial Version". By the logic, a different name suggests something different (at least a little). Sure I can't see this being loaded with new content and crazy stuff like some folks here are predicting, but at the same time I also can't see this being just a straight up demo for GT7.
I reckon holding the Nations Cup final in Alphards may just be the key to success.
We see i guess, but i do expect current gt7 owners to get something, maybe in line of an update or something at least, i doubt the trial will feature anything that the full gt7 version dosent already have.
Narcissism is a psychopathic form of self-centeredness. I’m not sure it can be applied to all the top players.
I agree generally.I think many of you are setting yourselves up for a healthy dose of disappointment. Not unlike the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve predictions. This honestly seems like a GT HD/GT5 Prologue situation, more than its own thing (with tracks not in GT7). If there are any differences it will be in the UI/progression, and of course a much smaller "bite sized" experience (like the aforementioned 2 games). I'm guessing it's more about showcasing GT7 features/tracks/cars, to entice new players. Not, a small collection of new cars/tracks, that aren't in GT7. The only way I could see that happening, is if "My First GT" is released with same day updates for GT7 (or a short time later). In some ways this is GT7 Epilogue. Although that implies the end of GT7's life cycle, rather than in the middle, as it seems to be. Anyway... That's my .02
