What incredibly minute detail do you miss from GT Sport?

Being able to pick your own angle in photomode....now scapes. Being locked into a narrow view irritates me when I'm trying to find angles to show off a livery. You basically end up with all the photos being in the same place from the same angles which gets old.
You do know you can take photomode shots in any replay.
 
Agree 100% with you here. It doesn't feel like a proper Gran Turismo without this classic.


That's my anthem during my childhood!
Sadly though I only got the Japanese version with GT2... so GT3 and 4 was another song :(
To be fair though, I also loved those songs! Especially Panama :D
 
Racing Modification that was available on almost every one of the 300+ cars in GT1 and GT2.

It was also available in GT5 but that was a failure limited to only a handful of cars.

In a game that is even more focused on GT races than regular trackdays, and with a smaller roster of cars, I'd expect at least that tuning option available.
 
The former tuning system with buying parts and so on. Not just moving a stupid bar slider with percentage raise.
100%.
PD brought up as reason for this that this generation doesnt know anything about what is inside a car, so they simplified it. Well, back then we also didnt know anything about cars, too.
That is unacceptable... these are cars... we are racing... figure it out.
The only thing, and I mean it... the only thing that swayed me to look at GT was all the tuning options offered in GT4... my first experience with any racing game. At the time I thought racing games were "for geeks, not real car guys"... then learned of all the tuning/settings... had to see it, then bought it.
Additionally...
I think PD should have a look at it's player base... nearly 50% of "us" are 36 or older...
There are more of us over 46 than there are under 25...

It's fairly evident that by keeping the tunings as abstract percentages that they can avoid having their tune settings compared to real world settings which was a common point of complaint from tuners. You only had to see some of the weird glitch tunings from previous games to see why almost all of the tuning is locked off in Sport Mode.
 
I agree :cheers: with many answers before mine 👍


I miss ... The unlimited cash limit, i hate to be forced to buy cars, and the sensitive buttons on the pad ..

I miss blacked-out standard interiors. Gauges and dials are distracting. I race what’s outside my car. I only need a rear view mirror because the road ahead is clear. P1.

I suggested in another thread that they should at least make the race interiors available on cars that have a road version and a Gr.4/3/B variant in the game. We have a Racing Options section in the livery editor, this would fit right in. It would be particularly useful on the Atenza, STI/Evo and Focus ST for a production racer vibe.
 
I miss being able to change just the wheels on my car without
  1. Going to the livery editor
  2. Creating a new livery setup
  3. Saving and uploading it
  4. Backing out to the main menu
  5. Selecting the Home option
  6. Selecting the car
  7. Selecting change livery
  8. Selecting the livery
  9. Selecting Save

If there's an easier way to do this that I'm missing someone please let me know as it's driving me nuts!
 
Hm? It is there...
That feature is in the game.

No, it's not. There is no option for hosts of public lobbies to have Tuning Prohibited races like there was in GT5 & GT6. Yes, some of the Sport Mode races feature no tuning, but the option for user created lobbies is most certainly not in the game as far as I know.
 
You do know you can take photomode shots in any replay.
Indeed I do and I have occasionally, but that doesn't allow me to plop my car into the middle of Ahrweiler (for example) and walk around it to find an interesting shot. I miss being able to move the car and environment to my liking at a whim.
 
I also liked the RMs and various tuners, but I think they could also be re-worked in some way that makes it even more interesting. Like there could be a class for RMs, like they could be modded into Gr.4 race cars, or at least a similar class like a hypothetical Gr.5. I also like the myriad of tuners, including the in-house stuff like TRD or Mugen. My idea for those, is that you could either buy the tuned car as-is like in other GT games, or you could take a stock version of the car the tuner is based on, and have it modified for cheaper. Like if you happened to have a spare S2000 laying around, you could take it to Opera or Amuse for example.

Another thing I miss is the themed prize cars that were assigned to events. I think a compromise could be made, where some events that are more specific could have assigned prize cars, but events with broader motifs could have multiple potential prize cars that all fit the motif. Perhaps it could even take your cars into account so you don't get something you already have. Like if you enter the FF Challenge, your potential prize cars could be either a VW Golf, a Citroen DS3, a Peugeot 208, or a Suzuki Swift. Or if you enter a Gr.4 race, you could win a Gr.4 race car, or if it's the Polyphony Digital Cup, you'd win a car that's known for its connection to the series, like the GT-R R35, a Red Bull Jr, the GT by Citroen Road Car, etc. Meanwhile the Tuning Grand Prix and Premium Sports Lounge could respectively gift a SEMA and Pebble Beach prize winner.
 
  1. in chase cam, i miss being able to look left/right. now it seems you can only do it if your in first person cam.
  2. the opening movies in GT since GT5 are sooooo BORING, so I miss good intros with good music. Sport's intro seriously puts me to sleep.
  3. there doesn't seem to be a version of "Moon Over the Castle" so I miss that as well
 
He said small details.

Grass blowing in the wind when cars passed it by. ( GT5/6)
The sound of gravel hitting the underbelly ( GT6)
The 1-3 additional cockpit view cameras ( GT5/6)
you can hear gravel hitting the belly of the car in GT sport

That's all very definitive... up to this point:
VBR
as far as I know.
... which lends itself to the question of what this option is doing here:

There is a checkbox on the uploading screen that asks if you want to apply the livery. It‘s usually set to yes so you don‘t need to do steps 4-9 ;)

Go play GT6 . The gravel sound effect in ft sport is the generic dirt swooshing . In gt6 it's really pronounced .
 
I always loved the exaggerated backfire sounds in GT4. Sure, they're probably not realistic by today's standards, but it was oh so satisfying to clearly hear the pops and bangs as cars rattled down the gears. I also loved how cars would occasionally backfire when pulling away. Ever since then, the backfire sounds seem quite muted and not as exciting as they were in GT4.
Like in the chaparral 2j, that one since it had such a wide gear setup, always backfired like crazy.

Ah, I forgot about that! I must have been getting confused with liveries that I had added to my collection.
 
I incredibly miss the original car logos (of actual cars not car makes) in Car Dealership (Brand Central)... I always loved it in GT1-GT4. PD replaced them with simple text which a real shame imho... it would bring back so much nostalgia... hopefully GT7 brings this feature back :)
