Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

Shoes look like cars if you squint.

@RACECAR Funny considering The Lady is on the right.

I think I've lost my PS camera thing. I took it out of the box, thought "this is a silly gimmick like Kinect, I'll never end up using this" and I put it somewhere - not sure where, but somewhere out of the way. I definitely didn't bin it or anything like that, but now it looks like I'll have to venture forth into the cupboards and find it...

I too have a distant memory of buying one but no idea where it is!

And they facilitate moving around!

Does anyone know the pricing of this beta, is it free etc?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I think there is a facebook page you can follow up with, I hear the correspondent is a real nice guy. A real lady killer with info on GTS

 

[chzsln485]

I believe it's a free public beta, available to anyone (and presumably just downloaded from the PS Store, without requiring a sign-up or anything).

It will be free to download. However, you have to purchase Playstation Plus (network) in order to play!

 

[Imari]

Anyone ever stop to consider that because GTSport is a beta, Kaz doesn't think it's a big deal, it's not a full game or even a finished game after all, and there may not be a grand launch or big announcement, it might just sort of come out?

It's always possible because it's Polyphony, but it would be a "why would you do that?" sort of thing.

I could understand not wanting to bother with any sort of advertising campaign for a beta, but they'd get an awful lot of mileage out of a $20 press release. It's Gran Turismo, and the gaming media will still fall over themselves to cover it.

Also, it would seem a bit out of character when this was their last release:

I'm not expecting fireworks and Kaz Face for a beta, but not saying anything? That would be odd.

 

[Samus]

Like I said a few days ago I really don't think they could just do a surprise launch because not enough of the world knows about the game at all. It has had one public appearance, in October, and that's it. People will have forgotten, don't even know, or have lost interest even if they see the beta.

Games like Uncharted have constant press and have been at all the big game shows the last few years, people know about it and are hyped. GTS, except die hards like the population here, has fallen out of the spotlight. It needs to be back in it IMO before the beta launches.

Not exactly grasping why people have a problem with a watchmaker making a VGT yet no complaints for Nike or Jordan when this whole thing was first announced, both of which who also aren't in the Auto Industry.
.

No idea if I said anything about it at the time but no, I don't care for those either. The Nike in GT4 was a 10 minute novelty to me, nothing more. I can't modify them, can't make them my own and there is no attachement to a brand with no racing heritage. If you had a real world garage full of cars with Astons, Ferraris, Lambos etc how often are you going to get the watchmaker car out?

 

[GTPorsche]

There has to at least be a PS Blog detailing what is going to be in the GTS beta. They don't have to reveal the full game release, but they've got to at least give us details on what is in the beta at least 1-2 weeks before it releases.

Totally agree on this.

Also, RE:⌚ , as someone mentioned previously, seems to be another boring futuristic concept...

 

[Dionisiy]

Has anyone seen it?

[Edit - It's fake]

 

[chzsln485]

Something happens

Why RR3? I dont know.

Not quite sure whether or not to believe any of these Vision GT sketches any more... but if it's real, it looks pretty good. Better than that really awful Centenario, anyway...

 

[Yui-san]

Like the Jaguar, it's only a design student project unfortunately.

 

[Samus]

Protip for the future - manufacturers don't reveal their design work on Behance. It's a place for solo designers to show off their work.

 

[chzsln485]

I too have a distant memory of buying one but no idea where it is!

I can't quite believe it, but I managed to find it!

There was a point where I had convinced myself that I never actually owned one, such was my inability to find it, at which point I distantly remembered exactly which cupboard I had put it in... I went to check and there it was.

 

[Yui-san]

Video of the car is out.

​

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Well, there it is. The Bell & Ross AeroGT. No mention of GT, but the graphics of the vid are rather interesting...

 

[Yui-san]

Well, there it is. The Bell & Ross AeroGT. No mention of GT, but the graphics of the vid are rather interesting...

I was just about to say... the graphics looks a bit reminiscent of other VGT trailers.

 

[RaY29rus]

Oh, come on, it's common graphics. I'm 100% sure now it's not GT related.

 

[chzsln485]

I was just about to say... the graphics looks a bit reminiscent of other VGT trailers.

Don't want to suggest anything untrue, but the lighting has a certainly familiar style to it...

 

[GTPorsche]

It's just a 3D rendered scene, that's probably why you guys think it looks like a GT trailer.

 

[Yui-san]

So I'm assuming Matthieu Lauraux at TF1 made his own assumptions that this car was coming to GT6... (which is odd for a journalist of his tier)

 

[PureAlpha1206]

Well, there it is. The Bell & Ross AeroGT. No mention of GT, but the graphics of the vid are rather interesting...

This reveal screams GT in every way too me from the graphics to the way the car was revealed. Not saying it IS from GT Sport, just calling out the strong resemblance.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Or for gods sake @Yui-san.

We seem to have the same ideas.

 

[davidt33]

Looks so good though.

 

[chzsln485]

Looks so good though.

Agreed. It reminds me a little of the new Ford GT... only miles better. Really miles better.

 

[Soundtrack]

The B&R concept wouldn't have denoted in the VGT's section.

 

[Yui-san]

Looking at the press release, it really doesn't seem like Gran Turismo is involved in any way.

What perplexes me is where Matthieu Lauraux from TF1 got his info from/ why he decided to claim what he claimed... he not only said (quite surely) that this would be a VGT, but that there would also be a 1:1 model of the car, which also doesn't seem to be the case.
