Not for me Amiga. Its been dumbed down a fair bit sadly.
Was specifically programmed to be easy for pad players to get the most out of it. It is getting farther and farther from the "sim" it claims to be. Spent a good bit of time on the Alpha.
Both Pcars 2 and Assetto Corsa are far better representatives of sims on the console. GT is far more Forza than any other previous release.
Also for guys who dont know this GT will not contain a career mode or single player like others have this is GT sport not GT7. Think of this more like the "prologue" version that came out. I dont mind that to be fair as multiplayer is what I need and no sim on either console or pc has been able to deliver good enough AI to race in full realism.
Really annoying how games are going backwards in terms of features - content being removed instead of being added. Surely couldn't have been that much effort to include a token career mode?
Also worrying that autonomous cars are becoming a thing, yet people still can't program an AI car in a video game that doesn't just try to take you out. How hard can it be?
Im not too bothered about the lack of single player stuff on this GT. It was always billed as what it is and they announced quite a while ago that it was online only really. Its more for the E-Sports market with the FIA running alongside it. This will be the basis and pretty much testing of the new engine to be further developed for GT7 which will have the usual single player options.
In terms of AI yes you would think that they would be able to get it sorted by now. Project Cars 2 is maybe the best of the bunch for AI as you can set the level of ability of the AI and also the aggressiveness of them separately which helps a little, still doesnt solve the first few laps problem where the AI will only fall into two different racing lines whilst in crowds which makes them incredibly slow and allows you take about 9/10 of them within the first two corners.
TBH i could talk all day about the problems with AI in all the racing titles !!
But my main grumble with GT is the dumbing down of physics big time. Its still advertising itself as "the ultimate racing sim" which is nonsense in comparison with other rivals that are sims. Put it this way most of my gaming time is spent racing sims, I complete in online leagues, have competed in tournaments in other countries and raced with my rig, wheel and in leagues for the best part of 9 years now. I have a reasonable level of knowledge on racing sims. I have owned every GT and I am seriously considering giving this a miss especially as Project Cars 2 was just released this month and does a far better job than GT.

I'm playing it on pu$$y mode.
Meh, I was a GT fan until they started facking around for so long. It has taken about 5 years to produce what seems like a prologue. The next gen of consoles will be coming out by the time they bring out a full game for the current gen - very frustrating.
Haven't played a GT game since the first one the PSONE.
Wengersaurus - In the time the entire Forza series (7 Motorsport games and 3 Horizon games) has existed, Polyphony have only released two full console GT games - GT5 & GT6.
And even they were completely half-arsed. GT6 is still missing promised features! Got to be the easiest job in the world working for them - they clearly do absolutely nothing!

It's the reason why I converted to Forza, I would be ok with Polyphony taking years if they made a near perfect game but they don't, there will still be loads of flaws.
I used to like Toca games back in the day more than GT
Did you also enjoy This is football over FIFA?
No back in those days I preferred ISS/Pro Evo of course.

TOCA's were class easily the most challenging of all the racers out there for consoles when they were out. Had weather progression in it also.loved em
Yeah they were good games
I'm sure you could get a tank on one of them too, either a cheat or unlocked item or something, which I admit did take away from the realism
in TOCA 2, you could unlock all sorts of vehicles by winning in the standard cars. or using the Genie !!
Mind Genies !!! with all the cheat codes in em.
Stuck between this and project cars 2
Any ideas people??
Also does anybody play fortnite battle royale?
I've tried downloading and it freezes on 4.9gb

What you looking from your racing game exactly bud? Do you own a wheel or will you be on a pad?
Didnt have any problems downloading fortnite.
I would be playing with a pad.
played the GT demo and it reminded me of prologue where the car just seems to float left and right when you slightly lose control
My favourite game for racing was GRID on the ps3 and I loved the speed and handling of the touring cars
in regards to fortnite I recommend everyone downloads it
quality fun game

Yeah, using a wheel I found GT very dissapointing, very little feel on the Force feedback when the tyres start to loose grip. I also thought in cockpit mode it all felt very floaty. It wont have very much in terms of single player really so very much multiplayer focused which will be full of rammers.
Project Cars is more dar more sim and trickier to use the pad for. I havent put a whole load of time into it yet to be fair. but it will have far more options for creating your own races, has more circuits and the physics are far better than GT. I also think it looks more real graphically.
Assetto Corsa is also a very very good sim racer and easily the best for your buck just (until Project Cars comes out).
If your looking for realism and feel defo go for either Project cars 2 or Assetto Corsa. If all your mates are on GT Sport however that can be a decider. My opinion would be to wait til GT drops in value.
and fortnite is great fun
sorry that should have been..."Assetto Corsa is also a very very good sim racer and easily the best for your buck just (until Project Cars comes down in price)"
