Expert daydreamer
I suspect there will be a number of complaints about GT Sport, maybe not as much as Forza 7, but pretty close. And i strongly suspect that it'll be 'GT for everybody' again, with the hardcore among us left with nothing much to challenge us (in terms of race length, etc).
And if there are AI cars, i reckon the annoyingly fake rubberbanding will be back too, in every single event. I know it's to keep racing close, but how often is racing tightly packed for ten plus laps in real life? Aside from RallyX etc.
GT3 and GT2 were the best GT's if we're talking rubberbanding, as in GT2's Event Generator it created one to five races based solely on the car you were in and how powerful it is. And in the race itself there was no rubberbanding, so you could really see the performance difference in cars, even if all completely standard.
And in GT3's Polyphony Digital Cup series, aside from every race being an awesome 30-50 mins long (got WAY dumbed down in future games, down to ten mins or less), again the AI didn't use rubberbanding. Which made for some fvcking awesome racing if you intentionally chose a car that you knew was disadvantaged in some way and still managed to beat, or even podium finish some or all of the races. That was one of the few series in any videogame that i really didn't mind not winning the race, because the race itself was so damned fun and i felt i'd worked for my place.
Rubberbanding essentially makes the racing arcade like, because it is most certainly not realistic. It's about time we got the option to turn that off, or go back to certain events that don't use it. So we can start having fun in single player racing again.
All i find myself doing in racing games these days, is turning the difficulty way down, so that i easily win every race. It's like there is 'no place like first place' for me anymore, and i'm not enjoying the racing as much as i used to. Rubberbanding actually really pisses me off, as i'm way up in the front of a race, and with or without making a mistake suddenly some of the AI cars have caught up to me.
Then in online racing if you don't race with a good bunch of people, you risk getting rammed off the track by everyone. Or you are so paranoid about hitting someone (this is me i'm describing) that you purposefully let everyone pass you before the first corner on the first lap, and then try get a placing in the race by passing slower drivers/spun out drivers when the crowd has dispersed. I do this a lot in Forza Motorsport online.
I'm just hoping GT Sport is worth (in the long run) the $109 i'm paying for it and that as usual the good outweighs the bad. PS Store said 15 days to go last night.
EDIT:
My rant of the event, at how it was ruined in later GT games: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threa...al-cup.148881/
Race writeup from one of my many playthrough's of GT3's PD Cup: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threa...-a-zz-s.32807/
And another race: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threa...-hungry.41573/
Thought i had a whole page for it on the GTSC, but can't find it anywhere.
So here's this instead.

A little customization would help.
GT2 h had terrible rubberbanding, but if you say the event generator was good than it must be easy to add that option.
Overall difficulty mode would be nice. Just default to easy (drivers side on, ton of credits, optional licence tests, slow AI...) then have a medium and hard (and extreme for those that want 24hr rather than 24 minutes of LeMans)

Even though I don't own a PS4 - and I'm not particular interested in owning one or this game - I can't wait until this releases because I'd love to see final gameplay. For some reason (maybe... the history and name of the site?), this game fascinates the crap out of me and I just really want to see it in action.

I launched the demo, and while you can’t actually race anything until the servers go live, what you can see looks absolutely insane. I said that Forza 7 in the demo looks truly pretty, but this is a step above that and your eyeballs are in for a treat.
If you let it sit on the main menu you’re presented with a reel of randomised moving glamour shots - think of a car in a location with a camera swooping over it - and photo mode stills, plus the occasional race replay. I can’t be sure if the glamour footage is real time or pre recorded video (and if it is, it’s using some really good compression because the footage is clean and artefact-free) but the replays certainly are real time. Either way, the game looks superb, surpassing my previous best looking game of the generation, Horizon Zero Dawn.
My favourite would have to be the aggressive looking Bugatti Veyron race car displayed next to an in-game clay model of itself. Just superb. You can see why they take so long to make these games.

That sounds precisely how I would anticipate a review of anything GT:S related. "Looks great, didn't drive anything though."
