They can strip down to a more pure "Racing" simulator and focus on other things.

I'm just quoting myself to re-iterate that my thoughts have not changed :p

It would be nice if they put as much effort into making the cars sound as they should as they do to photo mode.

^ Very good point!

And we're finally vinyl-y. That's the biggest plus I saw in the new trailer. I wanna get painting again like I used to in Forza :)

However that excitement is tempered by the fact that there's a pre-order bonus of a sticker pack, which leads me to believe that stickers might come with a price.

Anyway, I'll still buy it, like I do with all the GT games.

That trailer was... not impressive at all. :|

I'm kinda bummed that the first PS4 GT isn't a normal GT. Never had a PS3, and I've been waiting since launch day for one on the PS4. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer to play a normal GT game again.

Beta cancelled to aid game completion.

"It's required that in order to do an open beta we have to create a proper master for it, and considering the release timing that we announced, we decided that we just don't have enough time to do two gold masters for the game," Yamauchi explained in an interview. "By omitting that, it saves us about three months of time."

It's not a "full" Gran Turismo, they said that GT7 is also being worked on. This is a game meant more for those that enjoy online racing, versus GT7 will be more for those that enjoy playing by themselves or in person.

The audio is vastly improved from previous GT titles too, finally ditching the synthesized engine noise used in previous GT titles in favor of each vehicle's actual recorded soundtrack.

In fact, as a testament to just how realistic the experience is, Gran Turismo Sport players will be able to qualify for FIA-certified motorsport licenses within the game – licenses that can be used to participate in real-world, wheel-to-wheel racing events.

Re: the audio. Wasn't it the Gran Turismo series that for years use to talk about (and show pics) recording right from actual models?

I never believed it.
