Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[draganaughtz]

My country is not on the list of countries at PSN so I made a US account. The races start at 1-5 in the morning. Is this ever gonna change or will I have to just skip the FIA races altogether forever?

There will be more content I believe, it is just uncertain schedule plan for DLC and pretty long wait through update schedule, which mostly just little tweaks and server maintenance instead.

I still believe that with as long a development time as they had for this game, they should have had a well drawn out DLC and update plan well ahead of release. It may be a bad comparison, but fans know what they’re getting in terms of DLC well ahead of time with the COD and Forza series... it all comes down to communication and being well organized.

Just my random vent of the day.

If you're driving .5 seconds behind somebody, that means when they hit the brakes for a corner - you've got .5 seconds to do the same else you will hit them.
This can be magnified if it's multi car and your car doesn't brake as well or you're going faster due to slip stream.

The amount of people rear ending me in corners when they're over half a second back is getting a little ridiculous.

 

[Josh Ragland]

Someone knows what's the channel in Youtube where the video lessons from circuit experience have been uploaded?

Visit Motogamestv and shirrako they have done videos on all single player content in GTS

 

[JockeP22]

Has anybody else noticed that nine scapes locations are gone from the game?

There used to be 1,017 of them, whereas now it says 1,008.


And this was me when I came home today and saw that the Sport Mode Race C Daily Race with 2 laps around Nordschleife had been replaced.

Inevitable question. Any sign of impending DLC?

That happens a lot to me, and I'm guilty of the same thing. Just something in the virtual world we have to deal with, I guess.

Remember latency can play a big part in this, following drivers should always assume they are seeing things later than it’s happened. In F1 2017 it was quite a big factor.

Agreed. This is where PD lacks most of the time, and thus should become a concern for them to improve their communication skills. An old habit that should have gone a long time ago.

I know N300 races are not so popular but i personally enjoy them a lot but something needs to be done (balance wise) with the Toyota sfr racing concept, it just ruins the race... It's like racing against a gr.4 car & everyone takes advantage of this!

Personally I’ve think the road car ‘n’ races need to be a set on their own, rather than 1 race per day they need to have 3 class races for them, eg n300,400,500 on varying tracks and then 3 ‘g’ events plus the FIA when active.

Hopefully they are expanding the online world of daily races soon, the normal lobby system is tedious and annoying to be honest, i understand its purpose, and it works but it looks so messy and with several pages to go through I find myself just leaving and going to daily races.

I am giving up with this.

By common sense from consumer perspective, isn't it a feature that supposed to be available from day 1? Okay, fine, server load testing, and stuff. But it is like they don't have any staging environment.

Load testing are not supposed to be this long. I am starting to curious how PD handles those backends.

Are cloud technology not enough? Are they using CDN? Document-based database? Microservice method? I had enough with PD's idealism to develop all stuff by themselves. Okay, why not expanding staff? 200 core staff and probably none of these are specialized in this thing.

Get a grip, PD.

I already saw some people gain access to their own GTS website here is one example :



Interesting thing that looks like most of Japanese got the access earlier than us. It just matter of time when it is available globally. The question is how long will it takes idk for sure. Take a note that this is PD. It might come next year or so. Won't surprised by that.

Btw, is there any new stuff at Mileage Exchange? Curious no one posted that yet since now is Tuesday here.

Same cars, stickers, and previously available poses. New wheels and paints. Wheel line up is particularly good this week in my eyes. 👍

Not saying they couldn't change it, but they seem to have made a firm design decision to only have three dailies running at the same time. Presumably that's so they can have a bigger pool of players for matchmaking. I wouldn't mind sacrificing some quality of matchmaking for more choice of race, not sure how others feel. Last night I didn't fancy any of them

I would also appreciate it a lot if they would add more n class races I mean we have so much variety in car selection in this classes so everyone could finally choose the class and car he or she? wants to compete in. And they should finally add some Rally dailies.

Ok now this is starting to annoy me... after giving the Mission Challenge nonsense another go after it lost all my progress thanks to server saves being great... I’m now doing the stage 8 races...


I’ve now done two trials, the Interlagos and the Blue Moon races with faster times than people on my friends list who have won both races.... only to come 4th....

I consistently lap around 1-2 tenths slower than the fastest lap (that I set) and on worn tyres, yet drop back from the leading three cars with no way to catch them...

I don’t understand what’s happening, is the game bugged?

(I don’t have a picture for Blue Moon as it won’t display my time on the friend leaderboards)

I don't know how it does it, but it rectifies itself eventually. I went back to beat some of my friends at one point and it did exactly what you have there. Went back in the next day and it was right. Who knows what is actually going on behind the scenes.

 

[crdcz03]

On those wouldnt it be possible that Jamie-995 did one lap more than you? because of when you cross the finish line its not a guarantee that everyone does the same amount of laps. i dont know how to type out what im trying to say... lol

Yeah I know what you mean, but I don’t think that’s the case because it’s not that I’m 4th, I’m 4th by a considerable margin and the gap only ever gets bigger after the pit stops... I’ll be lapping within half a second of the fastest lap (which I set) and be falling back from the AI constantly... I’ve even set fastest laps (or gone purple) and lost time to the guy in 3rd...

 

[ToyGTone]

That Gr.1 Interlagos challenge is pissing me off a bit. I tried to do it 3 times in a row and still couldn't get in first place.
I really suck at this game.

 

[Pearl Jam]

Anyone know if you can compare Time Trial records with others ? I just see a complete blank or am I missing something?
Loved doing them in Driveclub where you could see who was fastest in the world (even got a few world records myself)

 

[Walkinshaw]

Noob question, how do I watch replays of the daily races ?

I can's see the option anywhere.

Right up at the top left of the screen you can click save replay at the end of the race before you leave the room. Then you can watch it by clicking on it in my library.

You can use the AI logic for your advantage. The AI will slow down when you slow down and drive at the back. You can safe fuel or tires for example. Then you pit shorter and go full throttle after your last pitstop. I dont remember if i made use of such tactic in this particular race.

I can remember as well that after my last pitstop the AI was horribly fast. But somehow managed to be a lot faster in my second or 3th attempt. I liked it to figure out some tactics to win. I would say, try going slow and safe fuel and make 1 less pit than the enemy and only fuel up as much as needed. I think i did 11 or even 12 laps without pitting and then fueled up for 10,5 and went full throttle.
Edit: I think it was 22Laps in the end if i remember correctly.

I mean, I don't change the tyres in either race and I save as much fuel as possible while keeping up the lap times...
