I am excited as gently caress for this game but I will likely not play until I claim the elden ring.

I watched a review and how in the actual gently caress did someone think it was a good idea to have single-file rolling starts in career mode races. The reviewer showed an example that was particularly ridiculous where the car at the start of the line was already about a third of a way around a lap by the time you even cross the starting line. Oh you always start at the very back btw.

Like seriously, what the gently caress?

I just need the career mode to be like GT Sport, but you know... bigger. Ideally with difficulty settings would be really nice. But it sounds like PD still hasn't adopted that one really nice feature from Forza.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
Signing up for my first carpg. Usually a big fan of games like the Dirt Rally series, totally bounced of Horizon, that just felt like a racing game with adhd and the aesthetic was like corn syrup, very keen...

The time between when the game comes out and my PS5 arrives is going to be torture. The time between that and the wheel arriving are going to be interesting too.

For those playing already with early copies, how are you doing with getting through the first 10 - 15 hours? I was reading today from the reviews, that this is a major hurdle. All of the game is locked away and slowly becomes available as you play. I don't like the sound of that, but am keeping in mind that it's only a temporary thing.

This review mentions that after every race, you are asked if you want to buy some credits on the PSN Store.

welcome to Gran Turismo single-player races, they've been doing that since at least GT4.

I'm getting a PS5 tomorrow and didn't realize until today that GT7 comes out this week. I haven't played a GT game since 6 and it was kinda underwhelming so I didn't go hard in it but I have many great memories of GT5 weekly goon races. Looking forward to bringing my garage of poo poo brown sports cars to the track.

Initial reviews sound pretty positive so far and will be amazing not having long load times like old GT games were.

I think I have a playlist on youtube of Yuns videos of some of those races... ah drat well I did but the videos are gone... oh well. If my schedule is open I'll see if I can get in some races, and good to see a couple familiar goons from those days still in this thread. I'll always remember nurburgring at night in go-karts where we're just following the track line assist everywhere..

Is NASCAR in this game?

They have the Daytona speedway and you can set races to a max of 200 laps so essentially yes, but I’m now sure if the actual cars will be in the game. The penalty system in sport made bump drafting hard to do without getting either you or the person you bumped a penalty so it remains to be seen how well you could recreate the experience. Although, with how pit stops are handled in this game and the lack of safety cars it would be hard to get the full experience.

I feel stupid for having to ask this, but how do you pre-load a game from the PS App? When I bought the game, it said I could use the app to initiate the download, but in the game page I don’t see an option for it. I’m pretty sure I have done this before, and other games in my library (that are not preloads) have a “Download to Console” button.

I can kick it off when I get home tonight but the PS store is dodgy sometimes, I’d rather get it going now.

You might be looking at the bundle page? PSN store pages are weird sometimes if a game has preorder stuff or other editions and I've had this confusion. Go to the store page for it and if you can, tap where it says "Game Bundle: [whatever] Edition" and the release date, then tap the version you want at the top, it'll be labeled under the heading "in library" and you should have an option to download from there.

I tried this out. It works really well! Minor inputs/corrections sure feel easier and more like a wheel. I’m sure you’d get used to it, but I did find I had some issues breaking in a straight line because I wasn’t holding it perfectly still.

Thanks for that, I followed the instructions but no luck unfortunately. Here’s the weird thing - If I select the PS4 edition, the download to console button appears, but not when I choose the PS5 version. And it says right there, “Linked console: PS5” so it’s not like it’s talking to the wrong system. Eh, oh well, I’ll just do it tonight.

I had that issue too when I pre-ordered that couldn't find the download button and had to jump on the PS5 and do it from there.

For playing GTS in VR it was my preferred way to play since I don't own a wheel. Good to know it's back and works well still.

I've seen them all and surely that one is the longest one? I like it up until the gameplay stuff starts but that part goes on for too long. I know, kind of a meaningless complaint but I still prefer GT4's intro over all others.

And GT1 because Manic Street Preachers hell yeah.
