Depends what you want from the game. If you are looking for SP content, keep clear. The SP content in this is an introduction to safe racing online. Online is where this game will shine and I can definitely see it being really fun later on.

I would just expect an improvement over GT6 even if this new one is probably like the horizon versions for forza, I'm getting gt6 again eventually as I forgot the quality, but if it's VR compatible then should be a good quality game with sim like mechanics.

Strange comment, there's loads of single player content! although not like we've been used to in past GT games with single player championships and leagues, but there's loads of fun licence tests and the challenge races that start of easy and gradually get more difficult.
I think I've put around 10 hours into single player and probably about half way through, with gold on most of the ones I've done so far
Actually it isn't. Do the missions, quite a diverse and large number of races under different scenarios there and pretty good. Whats missing is removing virtual ash trays to save a virtual bit of weight thank god.
Missions are not simply enough for SP content IMO. There isn't any racing series to compete in and, for a racing game that's lacking. But as I said, this game is intended to be played online, that is where the game shines. Yes you can set up individual races and that is a great way to learn a track or car. If you buy this game for SP, you will complete SP and then move on to the next game. There isn't really anything to grab someone to keep playing beyond getting gold on everything.

Not sure if I’ve read this incorrectly but it’s nothing like a Forza to Forza Horizon comparison. Horizon is intended to be the super casual arcade sibling while this is more so aimed at being a simulation than any of the previous GT titles.
Single player content wise you have:
- Driving School
- Driving Missions
- Circuit Experience
- Scapes (photo mode)
- Arcade Mode
I think that’s it, there’s also a livery editor. You need to be connected to the PlayStation Network to access everything other than Arcade Mode.
There is no “Gran Turismo” mode in this, no offline championships unless you set one up yourself in Arcade Mode.
The meat and potatoes is called Sport Mode, an online mode where you qualify and race against real people. At the moment we have daily races, 3 races which change periodically, there’s also two FIA endorsed championships and the Polyphony Cup but afaik none of these have began yet and will be a weekly series with one race a week (I think).
If you’re looking for the traditional buy an MX-5 and work your way up through the various offline championships type thing then you’re going to want to look elsewhere as all of that is gone. The roster of cars is about 150 strong, most of them are pure racing machines, you won’t be installing racing chips and buying parts for your car, that’s all gone. You can spend an amount of mileage points (secondary currency) to upgrade your car so it performs in the next performance tier but that’s about it, it is literally a one button press thing.
Personally I love it, best GT since the PS2 days in my opinion.
Forza horizon 3 is no arcade that's for sure, but I used that comparison as obviously this isn't GT7 which may or may not even exist so in a way is guess a spin off? Horizon is just open world and gran turismo sport from the sounds of it is just online.
I know online experience differs for connections, but being PS4 and VR influence I'd like to think it be a nice racing sim? GT6 on ps3 was quite good from memory and that's on ps3 based tech.
I like my car games so always on the look out for good ones and do like to carry on a series if applicable.

I think our definitions vary when it comes to what is classed as arcade, I'd class Horizon firmly in arcade territory for sure.
EDIT: Just a quick edit, I see what you're saying about this being a spin off of sorts but I will eat a hat if Polyphony bring another Gran Turismo game to the PlayStation 4. This has taken years and years to develop, they'll support this with content updates and that'll be it, there won't be a GT7 in this generation at the very least.
I haven't had a laggy race yet, but then there are people on here who can't even access Sport Mode because of problems communicating with the server, can't say anything about VR because I haven't got one sorry.
Me. I am genuinely gutted and even more annoyed I bought it digitally!
Yeah there will always be different views on what people think is arcade, GT5 certainly feels arcade lol and the forza on 360 are the same, horizon itself didn't seem so arcade like, but horizon 3 which is what I shouldn't specifically said certainlay doesn't feel arcade, the physics and that on that game is much better than Forza 6 and I didn't okay 6 till after 3 so it's a backwards comparison, only play 7 demo, but don't own an Xbox one anymore, didn't seem arcade much given it's not open world.
That sucks if they don't carry on From GT6, the PS4 has so much to offer for performance and quality it would make sense to keep the series going and not do spin offs like turismo sport as while I like online play, for these games I do prefer offline, the one thing I like about GT6 and he same when it was still active on GT5 was the online races against Ai that gave huge money rewards, online racing can get boring after awhile more so when everyone plays 'bash brothers'.

If you call Sony and say you can't access it online etc etc there's a good chance they will refund you.
Not always but I've called up about For Honor that was a mess for me online with disconnects,lag etc and got it refunded back to my game wallet.
Might depend on the call handler being nice as well lol but worth a try if you're not happy
Not played that much in Sport mode but had a go the other night, qualified 1st, led the whole race for my first win. Been spending most my time setting laps times in various cars. Done driving school but not the rally ones, yet and missions, not touched circuit experience, though.
Scapes is beautiful and the livery editor is very good, some of the peoples work I've seen is stunning. Really enjoy playing the game and like I've said, not touched much Sport mode yet. I always make sure I get at least 27 miles per day to qualify for the free car.

Update Details (1.03)
25/10/2017
An update for the Gran Turismo Sport has been released. The following is a list of the main features introduced:
Main Features Implemented
- Fixed an issue wherein repeatedly deleting your email address from [Options] > [Email Address] would cause the game to crash;
- Fixed an issue wherein participating in a Drift Trial with a car featuring an exterior livery created with a custom colour chip (a colour chip created in the Livery editor) would result in the game crashing after the result screen;
- Fixed an issue wherein excessive force feedback was applied when understeering using the THRUSTMASTER® T500RS steering controller;
- Fixed -an issue wherein the THRUSTMASTER® TH8A 'H pattern shifter' was not properly recognised when connected to a compatible steering wheel controller.
Other improvements and adjustments
- The controller steering sensitivity of the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller has been increased in order to improve handling during oversteering and drifting;
- The adjustment range for a steering wheel controller's force feedback has been broadened: it is now possible to decrease maximum torque on steering wheels with strong motor torque.
- Various other issues have been addressed.
Thank you for your continued support and please continue to enjoy Gran Turismo Sport!

I'm pretty bummed that they nerfed the single player campaign mode in this. I loved buying low end cars and eeking them through races 
Also gutted that Tsukuba / Laguna Seca didn't make the cut
, along with a wealth of other GT classic tracks.
Hopefully they'll be back in the next GT. I bought my PS4 for Gran Turismo
