First of all this is an automobile experience not really a game, you spend time with each car learning its characteristics, its potential, and it becomes a mutual bond. And this is what this experience is about. Yes its a racing simulator with gorgeous photogenic graphics but dont expect it to be an action adventure racing game like nfs or forza horizon. This game was made more for a mature audience who have a passion for pure driving and racing physics that mimic real life. Is it a perfect sim? No. But it is Still the Gran Turismo we know and love with a little more to give. If you grew up with GT 1&2 on the original playstation and was the type that could never put the controller down then this game is for you, the hardcore gt fan. Its like the dark souls of racing games. Its simulates consequences of real world racing minus the damage modeling of lets say beamng, but the point of it is to let the player get to know each of these cars on a personal level. And I have to say as the first ever racing game to bring real car models, physics into the video game world back in 1996 they are the pioneers of this genre and are proving themselves once again they really know cars and the attention to detail they spent researching and trying to make 1:1 physics is phenomenal. Im not saying that this is perfect by any means compared to assetto corsa or iracing. But the amount of things you get to customize, tune, do by trail and error it becomes a satisfying feeling for those who are passionate about motorsports. The modeling is nearly unrivaled. It feels and plays like GT and that formula has not changed much at all. If youre new to GT it does take patience into understanding what this game gives you in terms of entertainment. But once tou get it, it become very addictive. With the jazz music menus and the overlapping mix of rock and bass and drum, at first it seems like a strange mix but if you ever played any previous gt it somehow makes sense and gives you these unexpected moments of happiness just like dipping french fries into vanilla ice cream. So far I have broken free from the dualshock controller and have been using a Thrustmaster T300RS, just let me say the immersion has really let me know what each car is supposed to or would feel like to its real life counterparts. Its amazing,compared to other sims I’ve played its feel pretty close to some of biggest kings of sims. The only downside is drifting. Drifting on a wheel is pretty difficult, its like trying to learn 400hrs of drifting experience all over again.. and im a pretty avid drifter on Assetto, Carx, and forza. The countersteer is way too snappy and over corrects itself even with tuning and changing setting around. Other than the drifting, the racing is where this game really shines and im sure this is what gt really focused in on as they have with all their previous titles. Once they get the tire slip physics just right it I truly think gt will be one of the greatest driving games ever made. Overall I love this game, it brings back nostalgia of challenging licenses, and everything gt used to offer has come back in a great all in one package. I thank the developers for creating such a detailed game and gives us the chance to experience real world cars from the comfort of our homes.
