And if you’re fortunate enough to have both a 4K and HDR-capable PS4 Pro and TV, things get even better. What’s more, the way cars move into focus and the way the in-game camera uses depth-of-field, really helps everything look incredibly realistic. On a normal PS4, graphics are smooth and pin-sharp, and lighting is by far the most realistic we’ve seen on a console – save Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox One X. So, what’s GT Sport actually like to play in 2019? In this review we’ll skip past all the gremlins and shortfalls of the day one release, and just look at how Gran Turismo Sport plays now – as after all, that’s how you’ll be buying it, right? With that in mind, start your engines for our fully updated Gran Turismo Sport review.Ĭhoose any track, pick any car, and the first thing you’ll notice is just how good this game looks.
GT Sport finally has the cars, the tracks and the offline races to keep you coming back – and now combines it with the most robust online racing experience… well, ever. And when combined with limited single-player opportunities, GT Sport felt like a lightweight, online focused-racing game.įast forward two years, and a monthly stream of updates has injected some much-needed content into what was always a very enticing framework. However, it didn’t start out like that although the graphics were class-leading, the car and track list left much to be desired. This is Sony’s flagship racing game, on its most up-to-date console – and in 2019 it’s one of the best racing games you can buy. Gamers have waited years for this, but it’s finally here – GT Sport on the next-gen PlayStation 4. GT Sport: the constantly updated CAR review
If you’re a fan of racing wheel-to-wheel, you’ll gain little – but if you want to learn from one of the best racing drivers of all time, this is a must buy. Ignore the new credit limit this DLC gives you – that’s only useful if you’re interested in buying multiple high-value cars – and this add on is a unique, albeit limited, piece of content. But even if you can’t get close to Hamilton, the different rewards, from Bronze to Diamond – along with the great coaching content – will keep you coming back. With a little tidying up and more commitment, it’s very possible. Take the Brands Hatch challenge, for example we started off around three seconds behind, but careful copying of lines and rehearsed bravery means we’re now less than a second behind the Hamilton ghost. Just one second to find now #PS4share /6WuPUmlMtS Combine the two and it’s possible to slowly but surely zero in on the six-time world champion’s times. You can follow a ghost of Hamilton to learn lines and braking points, and then you can watch a replay from onboard too – completely with steering, accelerating and brake inputs. The coaching itself – usually comprising of a one minute video from Hamilton – isn’t that useful, but the replays certainly are. Track limits are key, and you’ll have no margin for error, or comfort. The GT3 not the sweetest handling vehicle in the game, but it can be hustled at greater speeds than you’d think, and it’s pretty stable over the kerbs too. The only catch? You’ll be forced to use a very on-brand Mercedes-AMG GT3 to do most of them – or a Sauber C9 for the Nordschleife. There are ten time-trial challenges in total, and there’s a nice mixture of tracks from Brands Hatch to Dragon Trail.
