Pity that bridge isn't the Pont Du Normandie

Or the amazing Millau Viaduct:

I must've been imagining playing around with the LSD on a car a couple of nights ago.
Could it be savines-le-lac??

I meant that in the sense that if you are the kind of person that dislike always online requirement you might as well just skip it.

I'd say also if you have poor service that goes completely out. Even if you were doing sp stuff, the game would bother you about not being able to save and having to reconnect and stuff if it loses connection.

Nah, the bridges don't match.

We're looking for somewhere around Provence with a single-span girder arch and a square-pillared offset cable suspension bridge if the screencaps earlier are correct.

Completely off-topic, but we were at the Millau observation centre and saw a convoy of 15 Lambos and Ferraris cross over - the sound echoing around the valley was incredible.

The road layout and bridge itself are probably fictitious designed by PD, just laid over a real world landscape. No one has been able to identify that bridge even people from southern France on GTPlanet. Given how large that bridge is I'd assume it would at least be a decently known landmark in that area.

There's a GT PSP track that it's reminding me of really closely, but I can't remember the name. And I can't remember if it was specific to PSP, either. I doubt it, but it's been a while.

Exactly? No. Similar, sure I can give you that with the license tests and the races. But the RPG-like progression that came with direct rewards from each races and the plethora of individual parts upgrades were a core component to a lot of people that made the game's campaign/career satisfying to go through. Replacing it with a "reward for time played" exp system and rewarding cars left and right for not even winning anything, with extremely simplified "parts" upgrades is really not the same feel at all.

Thanks for taking the time to spell this out. When people are particularly stubborn about the idea that "nothing has changed and everything is fine" with the single-player content for Sport, I know they're not really worth talking about it with. I say this as someone who generally hits my daily mile target at least three days out of the week, and does appreciate what additions they've made. But it's like half the conversation doesn't understand what good single player content can look like for a racing game, and they apparently don't remember what was good (and what was lacking) in the legacy GT games.

Didn't know if they stylised the bridges that's all. I envy you for hearing that lol

This game doesn't get the credit it deserves. Easily my favorite racing game to come out in maybe a decade if not longer. Everything feels perfect to me (menus, driving physics, wheel feedback, online, etc), and the amount of free updates has been insane!

The Shul (pronounced "shool") has reportedly been designed by Kazunori Yamauchi, the producer of the Gran Turismo video game series.

The Vazirani Automotive Shul that is coming to GT Sport from the Goodwood Festival of Speed:

img_20180712_100322o2sit.jpg


The car uses a jet turbine-electric powertrain that enables it to mix rapid, torque-heavy performance without compromising on range.

Four electric motors are each located beside a wheel to provide fully independent torque vectoring.

Vazirani's project, which has also received support from the Force India Formula 1 team, plans to begin testing its first prototype later this year.

It's a turbine so pretty different from most cars.

Some on GT Planet suggesting this could be a 2.0 type update. Personally I hope we get more car customisation like such as aero upgrades.

Hearing new tire model has me a little bit nervous. I like it how it is now lol. Don't fuck it up!

If this is a bigger than usual update I hope it brings weather effects. The small tiny bit we have now in the game looks so beautiful.

Looks pretty cool.

Not played GT Sport since January so I'll definitely update soon and check out what's new.

Gotta say that suit designs are the last thing I'm looking for in a racing game. But cheers to those that want them. We barely even see the driver as it is, so maybe they'll alow them in Scapes or something.

Omg just encountered my first server error. Can't save my game after my last race which was going to give me my daily car.

Is it passé or annoying to complain about no offline saves? Because it really ruined my night that I spent 30 minutes trying to reconnect and have to leave it in rest mode and hope it works tomorrow

Every ting else worked fine. Wish they'd include offline saves in an update

no offline saves are the reason why I didn't buy the game myself as I have a strict no purchase policy with online requirements being put into games/features in games that don't justify them. Only have the game due to someone buying it for me as a gift when it was on one of those crazy sale prices for a bit there.

Collecting other people's liveries is one of my favourite pastimes with the game. I currently use a Keiichi Tsuchiya 'Drift King' suit and it does help the immersion. Not essential, but I'm all for customisation. That's what I really miss from older GT's.

Completed the last 2 circuit experiences yesterday, love that track that doesnt have 'rounded' turns, not sure what is it's name. Played 2 Sport races and was terrible, missed 3 breaking points gor 10 seconds penalty in each -.- Started on 11th (shit qualifying) and was in 6th in the first race (after penalties I went back to 11h...). I missed this game. After that, went to scapes, first and only game where I enjoy taking photos. On top of that, completed 100 hours of play time.

Seems like a pretty big update! I'm very close to having some hope for VR to be added.. what is in currently is just a tech demo.
not happening

Some things I'd like to see if it is a larger update.

– A decent clutch pedal simulation, even just a basic approximation would be better than what it currently is and the ability to use flappys with a clutch, not just a H-pattern.
– Pedal options.
– Improved road feedback with a wheel. (look at AC with FFBClip).
– Options in VR such as position and whether to display the HUD or not.
– Better AI in VR and the ability to set parameters like how many laps in the race mode. (ideally more opponents and online).
– Allow us to unlock all cars if we want. buying cars isn't tied to anything meaningful and a just an arbitrary grind that hinders the enjoyment of the game for those who don't have infinite free time and would like to spend that time doing something enjoyable. The ability to have multiple setups (tuning or livery) makes the garage system pointless anyway. If not at least give something to make millions very quickly.
– A race weekend mode. Practice (with opponents), qualifying (with opponents) and race with a more sim-like approach to participation and time of day progression like you would actually have.
– A 'factory' car settings option that sets the assists to what the car would have in real life.
– A weekly event in sport mode that was like the first week of the product's launch but with a minimum of 6 laps.

It's such a shame because PD are supporting the game so well but until they allow us to save offline I won't buy the game, I'm not doing an endurance race to have it not count.

100% agree. This game has gotten me back into racing. I've never had as much fun. Plus the free updates this game can go down as the best racer this gen easily.

Very nice.

So in addition to cars and tracks they are also adding new features to the game. For free. I wasn't expecting the support for the game to be this good.
Sport launched with less content than any recent GT game. If it didn't get this kind of support it would have been hugely disappointing.

I'd put a decent tyre model way ahead of these.

The mileage store is under utililised.

When it comes to existing basics like driver poses, shouldn't they have hundreds of those by now? How hard can it be. They aren't integral to the game but it's something to collect and use up your mileage points.

PD really need to introduce rear wings, splitters, official bodykits. Eve fun little things like cockpit stickers, ornaments and such. Nothing ridiculous, just extra customisation and collectibles.

In the months I've played the game the save issue has come up exactly two times. Even then I just suspended the game and loaded it back up to save.

Offline saves are never happening due to the regulations they have to go through with that FIA license thing. You're depriving yourself of a fantastic game.
