The playable build on show in London yesterday was riddled with technical issues, from screen tearing, frame drops, noticeable aliasing and poor texture filtering. But the biggest issue, ultimately, is that it isn't as big a step up from GT6 as you'd expect from the series' leap onto PS4.
The game appears to be targeting 1080p/60fps, but the lack of polish in yesterday's build suggests Polyphony may have let its ambition for including obscure features […] lead to the developer ignoring some of the basics. Even the replays suffer.
There doesn't appear to be any damage modelling, either, with cars simply bouncing off walls and each other, and we haven't yet been shown anything on night racing or weather effects. Whether Polyphony is holding these back until they're ready, I don't know, but with the performance on display yesterday I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that they'd been cut from the project altogether.
GT IS FUCKING DEAD
Who would've thought fucking Driveclub would be the racing game of choice for PS4.
After 5, 6 and now this, I guess I'm just going to continue playing 3/4 instead
Benjamin Rivera
There's a thread about this already.
Carter Moore
When did GT ever have good graphics? That's not really what the game was ever about
Nathaniel Stewart
...
Tyler Walker
you're mixing up aliasing and anti-aliasing, you fucking idiot
David Green
fuck the graphics, it's the 21st century, older gta games had damage modelling
Hudson Moore
no I'm not mixing it up, what's wrong with aliasing?
Ayden Powell
it's blocky? anti-aliasing was always the better choice as long as your pc can handle it
Nathan James
wait. are you actually defending jaggies? if so, then check your fucking brain
Nolan Taylor
no there's absolutely nothing wrong with aliasing, if anything it looks better. especially for most people will agree that No AA > FXAA
Ryder Bennett
are you retarded? you want your game to look as if anything other than horizontal and vertical don't exist?
Jack Jones
Cripes what's wrong with you?
Carter Williams
are you fucking retarded? anti-aliasing looks like shit, it's like the type of cancer where someone emulates a game and puts filters on it.
Ethan Adams
oh wow you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
ID filtered
Ayden Perry
That's because FXAA is no real AA. It's just blur and smear.
Xavier Collins
you're the aoki of video games
James Howard
what
Carter White
...
Benjamin Price
Not sure if bait, but you realise the image on the right has AA?
Carson White
older GTA games had like 20 cars with 50 polygons each
damage modelling is one of those things that takes a hell of a lot of effort for what it actually adds to the game. It's kind of cool but really doesn't have anything to do with driving simulation
Leo Parker
it's still a feature that should be expected considering EVERY other major racing game has it
Ian Martinez
Were you born like that or did your parents have to drop you on your head repeatedly for you to turn that stupid?
Ethan Taylor
Wait, wait, wait.
Do we actually have a pro-jaggies user in this thread? Is that what's going on?
Angel Stewart
Nah, we have one guy baiting an entire thread.
Daniel Martin
Yeah, the right one has AA. but the left one is clearly looks better.
Oliver Richardson
I disagree, that's a stupid argument to make. The same thing could be said about shooters. Why omit multiplayer when the majority of them have it?
Julian Wilson
Oh, alright. He's blind.
Christian Ortiz
Well 4 looked really good But that said Spec B will never be as good as it was in GT4
Ian White
true. still thought, an actual damage model would be some nice eye-candy at the very least. visuals are also important.
Caleb Turner
If I want to have fun with something as boring as a fucking race car simulator, I'll dust off my PS2 and play something actually enjoyable like Burnout 3: Takedown.
Jaxon Thomas
Also, Yamauchi wants this new GT to be fully playable with PSVR
Anthony Gomez
I enjoyed 2 the most.
William Wood
...
Easton Ward
If anything, that's why it looks like shit.
Andrew Harris
Left actually does look better
Blake Martin
GT going back to what it should always have been and always been before they fucked it up on 5 and 6 is not it being fucking dead you dumb fuck.
Lack of AA sucks dick but that's the PS4 for you, meaning I'm never getting it since that would require me getting one
James Roberts
They were good graphics for consoles.
Kayden Davis
When did we begin to judge whether a game was going to be good or bad based on it's graphics?
O yeah it's been almost a decade, i forgot
Jackson King
This is true and I'm always horrified at the number of people that will defend a post-processing blur algorithm that makes everything look like shit. I especially hate when there's no option to disable FXAA.
Connor Price
Since the '80s, newkid.
Bentley Rivera
Racing games have been pushing the envelope to visual presentation since fucking PS1
Nathan Flores
Why not both?
Bentley Reyes
Gran Turismo was never good
I understand some people enjoy playing boring racing games, I just never understood why.
Oliver Foster
Since games have been getting released
Are you seriously this retarded? Why do people defend lowering standards with this? Do you think its ok full priced games having sub par anything?
Charles Perez
How are those grapes going for you?
Juan Young
I'm with this guy. You don't need AA on hi-res screens, especially 4k.
Sebastian Russell
Since they started the series, that was one of the focal points. Are you too young to remember?
Jackson Wood
GT3 looked like a fucking miracle when it came out, bruv
Jose Ward
You mean high resolution rendered games
You actually need more AA for high-res screens because since its a console game, its gonna be upscaled all to shit instead of downsampled.
Bentley Gonzalez
Must be hard living in a bubble every day, you colossal faggot.
kys
Isaiah Sullivan
GT is a good game because of the realistic physics of various models of cars, and the details in them.
none of the games were "visual showcases" except to console-only gamers that only owned 1 console.
saying "GT is dead" because of the underwhelming graphics just shows a misunderstanding of the series. maybe it's dead to normalfags that stopped playing destiny to play doom 2016, but not fans of the series.
it might be shit, who knows. but if its shit, its not because of the graphics. especially since theyre going low graphics so they can target 60fps/1080p, which more ps4 titles should do. only retards bought the ps4 expecting great graphics.
William Long
Why play a military shooter? Why play any sim?
Jaxon Murphy
I dunno, the only sim games I played were made by Maxis back in the day.
Thomas Jones
maxis games barely are simulators, they are just simple management games with edutainment coat
Justin Robinson
Yeah, I'm aware, that's why I can't answer your question.
Mason Howard
Sim games are mostly for people into the product its designed to simulate. Usually in hobbies that are hard to keep maintain.
I love hunting, but i dont get to go anymore.. so sometimes i will play a hunting sim… too bad its like using bunk heroin since almost all hunting games are complete trash.
not everyone can afford to race cars, or fly planes, or farm… or train so those games tend to be more popular. who do you think paintball sims are targeted towards? or madden?
do you have any hobbies that are difficult for you to do?
Elijah Brown
...
James Cox
Nope, it's pretty much video games, working out, and cooking. I did help some guy out on /ck/ who came in talking about making a cooking simulator, though. He was hilariously naive.
Colton Rivera
We're not talking about Grand Theft Auto, what.
Adam Bailey
Please kill yourself, you fucking casual.
Sebastian White
I never said that, I just said that your boring ass car simulator is, in fact, fucking boring. Take it more personally, though.
Aaron Stewart
cooking sim? that would be some boring shit. unless the thing had some sort of advanced flavor engine that you could "test" various ingredients, and the game would tell you if it came out ok.
but itd be much easier and cheaper to cook that shit in an actual kitchen.
Mason Lopez
GT is dead since 3 m8
Parker Ward
I don't think it would be boring. I don't have a fully-stocked kitchen. I can't make some sous-vide steak at home. Looks like you were right.
Julian Thomas
I guess you're right. GT's fanbase does have some hardcore delusional zealots.
Jaxson Lopez
pixel perfect blurry mess
Xavier Richardson
because we can drive the same car in the game that we drive in real li- never mind, i understand your problem
Michael Brown
Not all of us drive souped up sedans or coups user
Matthew White
Outrun > GT
Robert Green
But user, Outrun and Gran Turismo are in totally separate genres.
Doesn't make it any less true.
Jonathan Jones
Driving in real life isn't fun either. It's just a way to get from one place to another until we can teleport or something. Life isn't Initial D.
Daniel Brooks
GT was always ass tier.
Josiah Evans
It can be if you try hard enough
Jeremiah Brown
The first two games on the PS1 were technical marvels and Gran Turismo 4 was the most visually impressive racer of the 6th gen, even better than anything the Xbox had to offer. It also ran at 60fps and could played in 1080i.
The 7th gen games were pretty underwhelming though. Perhaps all the best programmers left?
Jeremiah Price
When was GT supposed to be some graphic wonder? Even the PS1 GT looked like shit, but it had amazing handling, small little details like breaks heating up red in long races, the ability to mod your cars (unheard of in console gaming like that), you had to actually pass license tests to move forward etc.
Gran Turismo 1 was an amazing game, and looked shit/decent for the time, but it was sure as hell not the fucking graphics people played it for, it was the feel, the music, the tuning, the experience.
Grayson Thomas
oh shit. missed this part of the news.
BETA IS CANCELLED
Benjamin Sanders
To do things we can't do like Western Europeans people playing Milsims and World of Guns. There are people on Holla Forums and this whole site thinking guns should be banned even a little.
Noah Mitchell
As the only focus? Because I remember BurnOut and Forza having both of those things.
I'm pretty sure GT was supposed to compete with RR on the graphics end, but I never actually played it when it came out because my brother had the PSX and bought basically nothing for it.
Benjamin Reyes
It was pretty good. Stellar soundtrack and good difficulty. Started having too many mirrored tracks near the end though.
GT2 kicked it off really when it added rally stages and a shitload more of real life courses, graphically same though.
Camden Kelly
I don't like guns. Just like female objectification they should be banned from digital spaces.
Thomas Lee
...
Gavin Adams
What's up with dudes head?
Parker Williams
Im so sad I dont have to start with a gt-86 again for the 90th fucking time with the same reused 3d model from 1999
David Moore
I honestly prefer both. Aliased is good if you're playing SNES/Genesis or any other type of retro game/console. Anti-Aliased is good if you're playing more modern games.
Adam Ross
Retro hipsters are a thing
Cameron Young
Alright niggers.
GTSport is coming on november (I HEAVILY doubt it checking Polyphony Digital's track record) and I'm confident they will fix the graphical issues, the games always looked great for consoles.
THOUGH, GTSport has nothing to do with GT7, except, this kinda GT7's Prologue. That's basically what this is.
Gran Turismo 7 will be a full standalone title that is WAY bigger than GTSport. It will feature almost everything up to GT6 (weather, car damage, etc).
(I hope those nips don't fucking slack off and get to work)
Robert Phillips
Denial hits hard
Elijah Gonzalez
I ONLY CARE IF INITIAL D CARS ARE STILL IN IT
Lucas Scott
They will be, just not on GTSport. All kinds of cars will be on Gran Turismo 7.
TO ANYONE INTERESTED:
SKIP GRAN TURISMO SPORT, AND WAIT FOR 7.
Gabriel Myers
Yeah, thanks for disappointing me. I watched trailers and it sure looks like old cars are no more.
I bet they will indeed remove all old and not popular vehicles from the main series at some point. Because those faggots struggle to make cockpits for all of them, while some shitty rfactor modders can do it during their free time before university exams.
TL;DR - Driveclub 2
Ayden Rodriguez
...
Levi Jenkins
Three years, three fucking years and the PS4 still only has one good game.
Do you know how many good games the PS3 had by 2008? MORE THAN FUCKING ONE.
Aiden Howard
Is everyone on Holla Forums living under a rock?
GTSport is just a shitty tie-in game, Polyphony partnered up with some random ass car organization or whatever, think it was FIA or something along those lines; so try-hards can snatch a place in legit car racing scene or whatever. Just skip this game.
Luke Richardson
So basically its just concept/prologue type of game.
