Yup. GT Sport looks good.

But all it left me was wanting. And it’s not the game I want. I want the BGM, and a 2-liter WRC class. And a 2.4-liter WRC class. And an actual Jaguar F-type GT3 so that Emil Frey can be a big deal again.

I’m always wanting in a racing game, I want to putter around the pothole ridden streets of Michigan in a slammed 4-Rotor, matte black NSX with a Route KS Madonna bodykit, with straight pipes. and Nismo LM GT2 wheels. And then drive it to DC, then get arrested.

The graphics look amazing, but honestly the fact that it’s called “GT Sport” gives me a feeling it’s going to not feature a career mode like traditional Gran Turismos, and is going to focus more on just straight up racing. That is a complete deal breaker to me, and it will probably take forever to release too.

And personally I don’t really care for race cars, f1 cars and all that in my racing games. I like regular cars and modifying them to be race ready, tuning and everything is where the funs at for me.

On the other hand, it does have an FIA Digital License, which I guess is useful and better than Bronze. Methinks that, before you can get on that boat, you’ll need a ladderized progress system.

As for tuned vs race-ready... eh, I swing both ways. It’s fun to make my own race car, but I would not want to turn down a run in, say, a McLaren F1 GTR, or a Citroen DS3 WRC.

It would actually be a console seller for me if it was like the traditional gran turismos. (I own an Xbox One, not Ps4) but I just always prefer tuned personally. I do like WRC cars, but thats about it. Hell, I typically dont even like supercars in video games, the more regular the car, the more interest there is to me.

I feel like it would be something more in-line with GRID, where you move up in race classes, from regular club racing all the way to F1 status.

This is me as well - I usually hate getting to the top tier of any racing game, because it’s all race cars at that point. I prefer driving a modified version of a street car and developing the mods and tailoring the settings for your driving style is half the fun.

Long time fan of Gran Turismo here, and I completely agree.

I spent most of my time in previous GTs driving and tuning my favourite production cars. Sport looks like it may be straying from that too far.

This was the main selling point of GT for me, like a toybox for Oppos.

2.4 liter WRC? Did I miss something?

Nothing. I just want to see Mitsubishi and Subaru back in the WRC so bad.

Both Subaru and Mitsubishi ran 2.0L engines back in the day.

Makes Forza look like NFS. But I don’t like the focus on racing. I find track racing boring - bunch of identical cars following identical lines around the track setting near-identical times. Hopefully the road cars in the game are more prominent than this trailer suggests.

I feel exactly the same.
