I won't lie, when I saw the fantasy track list I was really disappointed. I didn't even buy the game for the first month, that's how much it bothered me that weren't a lot of real track locations.
Then I finally decide to actually buy this game, I thought if PD finally had the balls to change the format of Gran Turismo, then I have to buy it and support them. Concentrating on human multiplayer racing is a big step forward for this series, and to be honest I was bored of the same old format that all car games almost followed. Buy a car, upgrade it, tune it and beat the opponent AI in non upgraded cars. Snooze fest.
So I pop in GT Sport and the game is just gorgeous. The cars, the racing and the fantasy tracks. I absolutely love the fantasy track....I think they look fantastic and can't wait to hopefully see more. I hop into GT Sport and spend a lot of time qualifying on Kyoto Driving Park - Miyabi. I bust out lap after lap and come out with a great qualifying time. I basically started 1st in the 5 races I did that day and won 3 of them. I was hooked.
The racing I find is clean out front, but people in the back really play bumper cars. Those players rarely have a chance to win so I think they will soon realize they will have to qualify and race better, or just stop playing the game. Either way it's a win for all of us clean racers. The other thing I love, take a look around the pit when you're in warmup. The attention to detail is fantastic and looks amazing. By far my favorite car game I've played on console or PC. To me it's what this series needed. They incorporated the driver rating and safety rating which is what is making this game a absolute joy to drive. To me it's a better looking iracing and am loving every second.
The game to me looks absolutely gorgeous in 1080p on my PS4 Pro...I do have a 4K TV arriving this week so I'm interested to see it on that this week.
