Gran Turismo "Sport"

[rallyfan1986]

Took me the most retries out of all of them I think! Even the full Nurburgring lap only took about 4 goes to gold! I hate Brands Hatch.

Ive not attempted Nurburgring yet - not looking forward to it!

Bathurst was another tricky one, however I could see where I could go quicker, at Brands I felt like I was giving it 100% and still miles off the required gold time

I'm struggling with the Nurburgring ones, I hate the track with a passion. Managed to gold everything else with ease really. Just can't get gold on any of these.

Me too, I feel it doesn't translate into a computer game track very well at all, saying that, I don't think many of the real world tracks make great game tracks

I wouldn't mind if i was 100th's of seconds slow, but I'm not, I need to make up 4 or 5 seconds on some.

The ring isn't that bad honest! I'm only a beginner if I can do it sat on the floor using a worn out PS4 controller then anybody can do it.

If you can gold all the sectors then doing the full lap is just about keeping it clean more than anything, the time is quite lenient! I struggled on Bathurst as well, find it hard to race against my ghost because it isn't transparent enough and just gets in the way but then when I turn it off I find it harder to see where I can make the time up. That technical section at the top of the hill with all the tight downhill corners was a nightmare in that horrible McLaren.

I've just done the Ring on the circuit experience - played it on other games so it's not entirely new, but it's a very tricky track to string together a fast time with the M6... the one lapper at the end I did on my 3rd attempt. I will say I had to put the TC up to level 3 to get through the whole thing. It's a twitchy animal on this bumpy track otherwise.

Bathurst is a funny one, took me a bunch of goes then smashed it by a couple of seconds despite knowing there were several places where I could have gone quicker.

So guys after playing GT Sport for a while do you think it is the best driving game out right now ?

 

[Digital X]

Not in my opinion, it feels "strict" I'm still a Forza guy at heart. Plus the Crew is great IMO.

Simulation wise I'd say it's good. But Assetto feels better on PS4. Assetto on PC is way better than the PS4 and iRacing still sits at the top from me.

By all means i am enjoying it. Just glad they put the good chase camera options in. Hated the stiff chase cams in older games.

Anybody done the 30 lap endurance race at Maggiore? I was going to have a go at it this afternoon but don't really want to spend an hour of my life for nothing if there is a specific strategy you need to employ.

I've just won gold on it, I went with fuel mix 2 and 3 to do 8 lap stints (3 stops in total), changing to medium tyres then a fresh set of mediums every time I pitted.

Really fun race, ended up winning by 30 seconds

That has to be now worth a punt even for the arcade and single player content?

 

[DIABLO]

Definitely, especially with the free DLC rumoured to be coming out sometime.

What playable in arcade mode , as £25 and if they increase the car and track count - I might be tempted as that makes the game more appealing considering I'll only do a few online races - well depends how I get on, has to be worth £25 now.

The arcade mode, license, track experience, and challenges do take a good while to do if you try at least get decent times/results. And you always set custom races up.

I purchased the game around 8:30 last night, saw it was a 50GB download so left it downloading and I'll give it a go tonight. I got the deluxe edition for £35 as it game with a load of extra cars, give it a go. If I can set up offline races then I might get a lot of mileage out of it.. No pun intended.

Still in two minds whether to get this or pcars2.

Depends what you're into. Offline single player = PCARS, Online competitive racing = GTS
