Often on the Internet you can find reviews of games on a PC. But console projects do not pamper your attention. In this case, only reviews can help. Gran Turismo Sport was an exception to this story. A large number of articles, reviews were written about him and many videos were shot.
The game
All fans of the racing genre have already heard about Gran Turismo. Every time gamers wait for a novelty and never cease to be surprised how cool the game developer realizes the wishes of the players.
Kazunori Yamauchi has long been a father and friend to Gran Turismo fans. They forgive him for long delays and slow development. And in the meantime, he wants to please his children-gamers with the smallest innovative detail.
Gran Turismo Sport reviews began to appear even before its release. This was due to the fact that the previous part was released on the PlayStation 3. On the fourth console, it begs for more than ever. Despite the fact that the game became a little different, it was able to win the hearts of its already loyal fans.
Feature
It so happened that Kazunori Yamauchi and his company decided to seriously combine the virtual and real worlds. The developers discussed with the International Automobile Association that in addition to the real race, they will conduct competitions in the game world.
So far, there are no rules and schedules for Gran Turismo Sports, but this is not an easy task, and therefore requires more time. The main feature of this innovation will be that the winners of both the one and the second championships will be awarded on the same stage. So, absolutely any game owner can be at the same ceremony with the world stars of racing sports.
GT Academy from the past parts has discovered many talents that later proved to be in real life. Yamauchi continues this tradition and hopes to unite the two worlds and communities through a new project.
Disputes
When Gran Turismo Sport (PS4) came out, the reviews weren’t quite flattering. Of course, the idea of the main author is clear. His desire to reunite motorsport virtual and real world is commendable. But the true fans of this was not enough.
Many were waiting for a new seventh part, which would receive a large-scale career mode, a huge fleet of vehicles, a large number of offline tournaments and other familiar things.
But the players lost almost everything that was in the previous parts. Only the traditional driving school and tuning remained.
In addition to the main modes and familiar functions, Gran Turismo Sport has also collected negative reviews due to the insufficient study of existing capabilities. For some reason, the weather did not add to the game. There are questions about the rally mode, which turned out to be weak. Well, and finally, even the main topic (online competitions) turned out to be crude.
We can conclude that the new part will become a platform for future innovations of developers. If you are a loyal fan who is disappointed in the game, you can wait until next year. There is a possibility that it will grow in content and become more complete.
Gran Turismo Sport review
The release of the game took place on October 17, 2017. The developer is still Polyphony Digital, and the publisher is Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The game begins with an interesting screensaver, which will tell the player about the beginning of the formation of motorsport. First, we observe black and white frames, which are replaced by color in the same way as retro cars develop into sports cars. This video once again reminds us of the unlimited love of the developer for motorsport.
The menu turned out simple and convenient. A beginner may get confused at first, but this is only at first. The top panel is associated with features that affect racing and landscape photo editor. The lower one received tools for jewelry and various improvements.
In the interface you can find many informative thematic facts. But not only motorsport will be discussed. The player learns about the presidency of Donald Trump, about the first blog that received the Pulitzer Prize.
The first look at the interface definitely appeals to itself. It will interest even players far from motorsport.
Training
As it is clear from the reviews and reviews, Gran Turismo Sport is better to start with training. Therefore, the player needs to go to a driving school. To understand the gameplay, it is better to go through several tests.
There is an opportunity to try the mechanism of virtual gas and brakes. The player will learn to enter turns and maneuver with external and internal thresholds. All training tests must be completed in a certain amount of time.
This game is not easy. It is completely unlike modern car simulators. Here you have to calculate the braking distance and understand at what distance to enter the turn.
At the same time, training is interesting not only because you will penetrate the game faster, but also because you will be awarded for your efforts. You can increase experience points and your fleet.
Immediately the game will not let you fight online. You will have to study the etiquette of the racer and learn the rules of sports behavior.
Control
Demo Gran Turismo Sport reviews collected positive. Even then, it became clear that it was better to choose a manual gearbox and use a game steering wheel. In the settings, it is recommended to remove everything that may interfere with driving.
Of course, the machine is an option for inexperienced gamers. But then just keep in mind that with automatic transmission it will be more difficult for you to beat a player on mechanics. Therefore, it is better to learn and get used to a more complex regime.
Opportunities
There is nothing complicated in the principle of the game. Every day you have the opportunity to participate in races, and competitions will be held at the appointed time. To play in the championships, you have to score the desired level. To do this in one sitting does not work, because the game requires the gamer to constantly train and thorough knowledge of the gameplay. Accordingly, the more you train, the more opportunities you get.
The player can call his friends and create a room. In single player, you can go to the waiting room. Registration for online arrivals takes place at a certain time. If you know that the championship is about to take place, then you definitely won’t get there. Therefore, follow the announcements and choose your favorite competition.
As already mentioned, the developers are planning competitions in real motorsport, where gamers will be able to get certification from the International Federation of Motorsport.
To maximize the feel of all the features of the game, you need to use the steering wheel and pedals. Then virtuality is mixed with reality. At sharp turns, the steering wheel will be noticeably twisted, and the gas pedal is likely to respond to pressing.
Impressions
So far, not everyone managed to try out a new toy. But you can already make a general impression.
GT Sport stands out with a lot of cool chips. For example, we did a great job with concept cars. Each car reminds a real version of its appearance and physics of behavior. In the game fleet there are Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Dodge, Porsche, Mazda and other famous cars.
And if the cars really turned out to be of high quality, then they did not work enough on the tracks. Although this opinion is subjective, because the ambient lighting and saturation are excellent. Particularly good picture in 4K format.
After the open demo of Gran Turismo Sport, there were a lot of reviews. The game has all the musical genres that can appeal to any gamer. There are punk rock tunes, piano compositions, jazz pieces and a soothing lounge.
Gran Turismo Sport reviews
Still, the project is not designed for the mass user. The game will definitely appeal to fans of the series, although not everyone will be satisfied. In addition, due to the relatively new concept of a car simulator, it turned out to be a little damp. Perhaps a fuller impression can be made already next year.
Many newcomers who first decided to try this game left positive feedback. The project makes an indelible impression on the inexperienced viewer. Gamers believe that GT Sport is the best experience of motorsport.
Among the positive characteristics identified:
- realistic physics of machines;
- simple and convenient menu;
- clear pumping;
- large fleet of vehicles;
- high-quality music for every taste;
- in the future, the opportunity to stand on the same stage with popular racers.
Not without negative reviews. Gamers were unhappy with the not-so-perfect graphics, the loss of all the old chips like the career mode, as well as the rejection of experienced players by newcomers.
Despite the fact that the Gran Turismo Sport turned out to be an ambiguous project, still many fans were satisfied. Of course, the new game was not at all what it was wanted to see after such a long time. But to say that she did not succeed is a crime against the community of car simulator lovers.
