They replaced the 'S' at the end with a tighter chicane you can see near the end of the video above. Unfortunately the video ends before we see the car go through it, so I don't know what the real profile looks like. The more I watched it, the more I'm not so sure I like how wide they made it. I feel the GT4 version was nearly perfect.
Gran Turismo has always had far better fictional tapes than Forza Motorsport has ever had, in my opinion.
It really felt like they abandoned it and gave Forza Horizon more support.
That's because horizon is a better game. Motorsport is just in limbo, it is neither a sim neither an arcade game it is somewhere in between with this weird unrealistic but still hard to drive physics.
If 6 had more campaign content it would have topped 4 for me. I think 6 was a great return to form in how much fun it was to drive with the variety of tracks and cars, and the campaign structure was there but it was disappointingly short. The fact that they got rid of the shuffle multiplayer mode is also what ultimately killed it for me.
FM6 was excellent, for the most part. Where FM7 went wrong was trying to force microtransactions into the game and the career suffered greatly because of it. The homologation mechanic was also disastrous for the single player. It's a shame because the driving dynamics and track representation have never been better. It's just such a pain in the ass to actually just jump into a race when you want to. This was a real shock to me because most of my playing time in 6 was spent just driving around by myself in a car and a track of my choosing. Much like Gran Turismo, if Turn 10 went back to FM4 and built a new game with a similar structure it would be a real winner, in my opinion. Just ditch the terrible auction house.
My PS5 is already sitting at home waiting for this release. But you'll also be able to play it on PS4. It's a cross gen release.
Resurrecting the subject of the Trial Mountain changes:
That, and to allow for a longer pit road. It was originally designed for only 6 cars. I like the changes to the layout, regardless.
you took the words right out of my mouth. that is super duper cool.
I wonder if endurance events will (finally) have day/night and weather. Doing a 24 hour race at the Nurburgring or at La Sarthe in full daylight was pretty terrible.
the article Armenius linked is pretty vague, but one key difference from GT Sport (and all previous GT games) is that the sky is no longer just high-res static skyboxes but a real time dynamically generated clouds (looks like the ones in iRacing for example, only better) and the trailer does show time of day changing.. but it's unclear if that's just a trailer thing or a peek at the actual technology. i'm pretty sure it'll be in the game now though.
They claimed this in GT5 but I could never tell if it was just for the weirdo photo modes, or if it was during an actual race. PS3 was a long long time ago so I may have completely forgotten much about it (other than Trial Mountain).
I'm pretty sure the skyboxes were dynamic in GT6, in that you could see lighting on the track change as you raced. GT6 is often forgotten about as it came out on PS3 at the end of its life, but it was quite a fantastic entry in the franchise. My only gripe was they got rid of shuffle races in the multiplayer.
Close enough. The first game launched at Christmas in 1997 in Japan. It didn't launch in the US & Canada until May the following year.
