Is it still fun if I use assists? I know for a fact if I turn off things like brake assist I'll just drop the game.
Controller is great. The support for it is good enough I know someone that manages to get into the GT Sports league by being one of the best players in his region just by using a controller.
It probably the best console racer out there with ease. For me its gotg easily! Played it almost daily since release. And with the post launch support its such an amazing game. And btw i didnt think the game was barebones when launched. I enjoyed it. But now it is better. And i really understand ops story. Once u are getting gt sport it becomes a addiction. Its that good !
Only because Polyphony Digital left out the campaign, but that's been fixed for a long time now. It's easily the best console racing simulator this generation.
The pursuit eggs you on to achieve great things that didn't seem possible. It does feel really good.
Dont Buy this game but you're not interested in online racing the single-player stuff is not correctly very good are fleshed out.
It wasn't panned for it's gameplay, critics couldn't get over the fact it had way less content than before. Which is funny because it was the same case for GT3 yet critics didn't care it only had a fraction compared to GT2 and they had just come off of complaining about GT5/6 having too much content opposed to quality. GTS focused on quality over content at the start and it was as polished as the first four games but now it's focusing on content.
In terms of sheer quantity, there's a lot and they add more with each update. However Imo the true meat of the game is racing online
It never sucked. The single player is just different from what was in the previous games. The caRPG isn't there in the same manner. The actual on-track driving is sublime. If you want to just collect cars, not the game for you. If you value actual racing, it's amazing.
I think the DriverHub enables your wheel to work on the PS4, but it's $100 so I understand that many would avoid that. The Fanatec Direct Drive wheels were just released and nobody can confirm if they'll work on PS5 yet people are still buying them up at €1,500! Just crazy
The penalty system isn't perfect, and there's times where you'll be blamed for something you didn't cause. But no, since you always want to have an S sportmanship rating you'll very rarely get people divebombing you or pushing you off, even at the lowest driver rating ranks. It's definitely better than not having penalties, just look at the chaos that Forza online was before they put their own penalty system.
Enjoy it! I'd really recommend you to do the driving school before jumping to anything else. I know you said you liked assists, but I'd also really reccomend spending a bit with manual transmission, trust me, it becomes second nature after 3 races.
Enjoy it ;)
You can also increase the engine sound, as by default is not at max, and it sounds great with maxed engine sound. For races i actually turned off all music and placed sound engine at max.
In Rally races try to go slow in corners. if you manage to do the corner for the inside and start acelerating as soon the corner end you go flying. Usually going rally style with the car sideways on corners, if you go too wide is bad as you will be losing alot of time even if it feels thats the way you should be doing the corner.
I remember that one. It was excruciating. You need to use MT, TCS = 0, bias your front brakes a little bit. Brake into corners a bit early, shift to lower gear(s), rotate the car and get on the gas more slightly more aggressively than normal road driving. You'll slide a bit but that is what I did to get first.
Use a gear higher than you would normally to avoid spinning the tires when coming out of corners.
OP I highly encourage you to get on those Sport daily races ASAP. Everything you described in the OP is what I felt when I started doing races in Sport. Really tough going back to Campaign now.
You get a driver ranking and a sportsmanship ranking. If you prioritize racing clean your sportmanship ranking will get quickly boosted so that you're at least driving with people not throwing the race or trying to wreck you out of spite. At that point everybody's actually focused on driving well and the online becomes insanely fun.
Okay, I'm going through the tutorial, and I'm able to complete them, but something about breaking into a turn doesn't seem to work for me.
In my mind I should be able to break into a curve and accelerate out like A. Maybe the red line should last a little bit longer; there's a difference between conceptualizing driving and actually doing it. I know how to make a turn in real life, albeit obviously not at the speeds you're going at in this game. Which is maybe the problem.
But when I try to start breaking when the game tells you to, no matter how slowly I ease into the break, I always seem to have too much control. The vehicle seems like it's able to turn far more than it should, extremely abruptly. And as I slowly attempt to turn left, I find myself coming to a near complete stop not even halfway through the curve. It feels bizarre, like something that shouldn't be able to happen when you're turning a steering wheel. Or at the speed I'm traveling at. Like B.
But if I wait just a little bit more, I seem to lose control. Suddenly it's like the vehicles is going much, much faster and I struggle to make the turn. Like C.
I've done it and I've completed one of these tight, hairpin turns with silver and sometimes even gold. But it's not as smooth as it should be, and I'm not able to break into the curve, accelerate out like I feel like I should be able to. What seems to work best is tapping the break, or tapping the gas pedal even. Just intuitively.
What am I doing wrong? Should I maybe try switching to manual? (I don't know how to drive manual in real life, but I seem to recall it not being that complicated or hard to master for Gran Turismo).

Just turned this on and it's much better. I like some of the licensed music, but the rest is kind of grating. Thanks for the tip!
(A) is called trail braking and it's my natural inclination as well (especially when I'm behind or trying to catch up). The problem is it changes the car balance mid turn from all the weight being on the front right to the back right. RWD cars absorb that change better, but all cars will either understeer causing you to brake / not put on as much power or you'll wildly oversteer and spin out.Okay, I'm going through the tutorial, and I'm able to complete them, but something about breaking into a turn doesn't seem to work for me.

I never use the breaks on corners, unless I entered the corner way too fast. What i do is breaking in a straight line before entering the corner, then using the throttle to control the speed during the corner, and going full throttle when the corner is about to end.Okay, I'm going through the tutorial, and I'm able to complete them, but something about breaking into a turn doesn't seem to work for me.
