GT Sport Ten New Cars and Fuji Speedway Added in New GT Sport Update

[Paul Jeffrey]

Gran Turismo Sport has been updated to build 1.28 today, adding new cars, a track and several features and events.

The new update, released earlier today for PlayStation 4, comes with multiple new pieces of content in the form of a nice cross section of road and race cars from various decades, the highlight of which could well be the first appearance of a 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 in the Gran Turismo franchise.. yet another pleasing inclusion of the once reluctant German brand in sim racing circles.

As well as new cars and events, the September update for GT Sport also contains a return of Fuji Speedway - the popular Japanese circuit returning to the franchise today and is sure to rapidly become a firm favourite for players of the title.

New 'GT League' Events:

• The Passion of Dr. Wankel (Beginner League) - This special event features popular cars powered by rotary engines, also known as the Wankel, named after its creator.
• Real Circuit Tours (Amateur League) - This race race series features non-racecars with 400ps or less on existing real world circuits.
• Group 1 Cup (Professional League) - The Group 1 Champion match is a high-speed battle with cars equipped with cutting edge technology and aerodynamics.

In addition, new Rounds have been added to the following events:

• Stars & Stripes (Beginner's League)
• J Sport Meeting (Amateur League)
• Mercedes AMG Grand Prix (Professional League)
• Gr.3 Endurance Series (Endurance League)

Didn't we already have a 125cc Shifter Kart in GT Sport?

Yes. Just the nine new cars in this update.

I'm really enjoying how this game is developing.

 

[Jordan Dion]

Man!!! those graphics! I hope Assetto Corsa II will look like that

Man if only a sim would get graphics as GT Sport....
Too bad GTS graphics are this amazing mostly in replay mode so stuff can be added then, while playing it doesn't have the same quality but it's still great. I guess not having time progress help a lot to make things look better
Still nice that they get this running on a PS4 while people may add a bilion 1080ti and wont get even close in current sims come on

I'd say graphical wise it's pretty much the same in race and replay mode, the only thing added in replay mode is motion blur, and if you own a PS4 Pro with 60 FPS replay, it doesn't make much difference because motion blur is barely visible in such high frame rate.

they certainly have some proper up to date tech / shaders in there! on PC , it would look awesome

but yeah, let's not forget that everything is baked! nothing is dynamic, that makes it quite a bit easier to cheat great looking visuals with pre-baked lighting

doesn't really take away from the fact it looks great! and I think driving is good too !
definitely is not as forgiving as some old GT games

I'm currently trying to get GOLD on Nordschleife, and man, it's so easy to lose time when you do have proper line, road angles affect grip, weight transfer .. it's all there !!

GT Sport Rocks.

 

[poir.qc]

Man, the lightning in those screenshots! Regardless of how they did it, they really nailed that part!

Few of them are 'scapes'. So it means that the ingame car model can be put on the real photo

I've got also a PS4 Pro and sorry..... but when you play the game it is not of the same quality as in replay .
Not saying that it is bad hell I've played grand Prix Legends in the past .

I definitely agree, but how far can they take graphics and still not upgrade your computer every year to keep up with the demand on the CPU and GPU as well some amount of memory. 2 gb GPU's even 4 gb cards are going to find it difficult to keep up with the demand of ACC when it's complete in a full race..................Unless you're talking about ACC in console life form, if that's the case.............never mind.

Console Seriously no please. Be patient, next generation graphics will probably be more optimised

ACC has better graphics (or more realistic graphics) than GT Sport, at least on Gameplay:

To me only the asphalt in GT Sport looks inferior, idk if it changes as race goes on tho, but the rest of the environment is far better in GTS. GTS lighting is way more natural too.

For me GTS look more realistic.... Colors are less vivid... Anyway for now its only a beta, let's wait and see

 

[Pauli Ahonen]

Goddamn. I need to buy ps4 back and connect my Simucube direct drive, and HE pedals to it somehow

 

[Boby Kim]

Better ten cars in the air than one track in the hand...or something like that
