Time of day changes and rain is a must have in any sim racer.

Never expected them to change their lighting solution for GTS so tod was always out of the question. If rain doesn't come out in an update this year though then I give up.
To be honest I wouldn't expect anymore real time TOD and weather in GT Sport on the PS4.

For the lighting Polyphony choose the pre-baked ray tracing method and obviously they are not happy with the performance with the weather on PS4. If I remember correctly Yamauchi hinted on that in an interview a few months ago.

For sure I am expecting weather on the PS5 version. About the lighting maybe the will add higher quality (even with ray tracing) reflections if the 8K tech demo is any indication. I don't know if they choose to change the whole lighting system to real time on PS5. We will see.

They also mimic pit stops in the game where tires wear off faster than in reality as well as fuel reduction. This is a non issue.
Yes and it can be set to normal. Those are also ridiculous features. It's good for those who want options but I think we can all agree that dynamic weather is more important than time.

I don't agree. These are not ridiculous features to me and tod is as important as weather, in my opinion. But both features won't come out anyway it seems, sadly, so what it does it matter in the end...

We are not getting new features to the game guys, it's been over a year now, if it were to happen it would have already happened. It's sad because I really expected rain to come to the game at some point.

Anyway, I cant update my game since November (defective PS4), so when my new console comes this week (hopefully) I will have quite a lot to catch up.

Love this game, but lately there has been one song in the built-in soundtrack that has really started to annoy me. It sounds like some teenager having a meltdown because someone stopped loving them, the dude keeps bleating "If you don't love me, don't love anybody..." or something like that. Really grating. I hope that one track shuffle fix prevents this track from being played as often as it does.

Polyphony apparently have mastered controller control a long time ago while everyone else seems wholly unable to make it work (looking at you Project Cars and even the F1 games from Codemasters that limits your reaction time on controller, presumably to help people who can't finely control the analogue sticks).

Polyphony has it mastered and the game can be played at a high level on controller if you have decent precision.
This is so true. It's a joy to play with a pad while I really hoped to enjoy Project Cars but the handling with a pad is awful.

About fucking time with the music shuffling. I had to shut off race music because I got sick and tired of hearing Dis Generation....

I just have used Spotify with older Gran Turismo songs and other racing game songs I remembered in a playlist. It's pretty great.

Still need to tune the AE86 a bit, but the short time I had drifting it on Tsukuba was fun.

I remember Dai Yoshihara posting on his Instagram a while back that the team at Polyphony were working on redoing the drifting physics. Curious to see when that will all be ready.
