Gameplay

Similar to its predecessors,Gran Turismo Sportis a racing game and includes two game modes: "Sport Mode" and "Arcade Mode". Online racing is also featured in the game and saving is only allowed in online mode, unlike its predecessors. The game has been described as different from the "Prologue" titles seen in the past in the series and features more content. UnlikeGran Turismo 5and6,the game does not feature a dynamic weather system or day-night cycle, but players still have the option to modify the race's time of day before entering the race.[8]It includes 338 cars and 82 configurations in 32 locations to race on as of July 2021.[9]

For the first time in the series, the game featuresPorschevehicles included in the game afterElectronic Arts' licensing rights to the Porsche brand had expired (previousGran Turismoinstallments includedRufcars as a substitute).[10]

Sport Mode

edit

Sport Mode consists of three daily races that reset every week. Each individual player is assigned a Driver Rating (DR), based on the player's overall skills, and a Sportsmanship Rating (SR), based on the player's attitude on the track, such as avoiding contact and obeying racing flags. The highest generally available levels are A+ for Driver Rating and S for Sportsmanship Rating, with the lowest being E for both, but the Driver Rating cannot exceed the Sportsmanship Rating. There is also a special S Driver Rating reserved for players ranked in the top 200 worldwide. Car performance within each category is equalized usingBalance of Performance (BoP),which makes adjustments to the weight and power of each car to ensure a balanced gameplay.

FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship

edit

Gran Turismo Sportalso features two championships held simultaneously throughout the year: the Nations Cup, in which players represent their respective countries, and the Manufacturers Cup, in which players represent automobile marques of their choice. TheFIAmanages the series directly as they would with any of their other race series. The winners of the championships are honored at the FIA's annual prize-giving ceremony in Paris.[11]

The winner of the inaugural FIA GT Sport Nations Cup in 2018 was Americas regional championIgor Fraga(Brazil, IOF_RACING17). European regional champion Mikail Hizal (Germany, TRL_LIGHTNING) finished 2nd, while Asia-Oceania regional finalist Cody Nikola Latkovski (Australia, Nik_Makozi) ended in 3rd. The year's Manufacturers Cup was won byLexus,represented by their top drivers Tyrell Meadows (USA, GT_Academy2013), Vincent Rigaud (France, Oscaro_SkyPikmin), and Kanata Kawakami (Japan, Kawakana222), whileToyota(Agustín Cajal (Argentina, ORMA_Aspicito), Rayan Derrouchie (France, RC_Miura) and Tomoaki Yamanaka (Japan, YamadoRacing38)) andAston Martin(Jonathan Bucha (USA, hendrix323), Thomas Compton-Mcpherson (Great Britain, cubertom) and Yoshiharu Imai (Japan, legacy0193)) took 2nd and 3rd respectively. The live streams of the World Finals in Monaco exceeded a total of 3 million viewers across multiple channels.[12]

Car categories

edit

Car categories are a new gameplay concept introduced in GT Sport. Cars in the game are divided into seven categories:

  • Gr. 1 -LMPandGroup Crace cars, including a few homologated variants ofVision Gran Turismocars
  • Gr. 2 -Super GTGT500 race cars
  • Gr. 3 -GT3,GTE/GT2andGT1race cars, including a few homologated variants ofVision Gran Turismocars
  • Gr. 4 -GT4race cars
  • Gr. B -Group Brally cars
  • N Class - Real-life road cars, spanning from theMazda Roadster S (ND)to theBugatti Veyron 16.4;this category is further split into 10 sub-categories based on maximum power output (rounded up or down to the closest multiple of 100, for each 50HP;e.g. theMercedes-AMG GT S,with maximum power of 503 HP, is in the N500 category, while theFord F-150 SVT Raptor,with maximum power of 411 HP, is in the N400 category)
  • Gr. X - Concept cars (includingVision Gran Turismocars), as well as every other car that does not fit into any of the above categories (such aselectric cars,safety cars,andtrack daycars)

PlayStation VR support

edit

Gran Turismo Sportwas originally announced to be fully compatible withSony's virtual reality headset,PlayStation VR.However, VR support was later announced to be limited to a dedicated VR Tour Mode.[13][14]A subsequent game update also added the ability to play the time trial game mode within VR.[15]

Development and release

edit
Promotion atGamescom2017

Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi mentioned that "Gran Turismo Sportwould be coming to thePlayStation 4console, possibly "in a year or two [from 2013]". He also mentioned that it will be based on the same physics engine thatGran Turismo 6uses.[16]Yamauchi also spoke of the release sometime in 2016 or 2017 and how much more powerful the game will be on PlayStation 4 and how much easier it is to develop on the console versusGran Turismo 6on the PlayStation 3.[17]Gran Turismo Sportwas officially announced at the 2015Paris Games Week.Sony originally claimed thatSportis a separate entry, but Yamauchi later confirmed that it is a main entry in the series.[18]

The developerPolyphony DigitalexpectedGran Turismo Sportto have much improved gameplay elements due to the enhanced processing power of the PlayStation 4.[19]The game is the first in theGran Turismoseries to support the virtual reality headsetPlayStation VR.A beta was scheduled to take place in the first and second quarter of 2016 before a full release on November 15,[20]but Sony later cancelled the beta to prevent the game from being delayed further.[21]Nevertheless, by August 2016, the game was delayed to 2017 to further polish the game.[22]A closed beta was confirmed for 17 March 2017 for selected users in the United States and Europe to experience the game's features prior to its release.[23]

Kamui Kobayashiwas one of the drivers who provided technical assistance in the game.[24]Following the expiration ofElectronic Arts' exclusive licensing to Porsche,Gran Turismo Sportmarked the first appearance of Porsche in aGran Turismotitle.[25]Three-timeFormula Oneworld driver's championLewis Hamiltonbecame the "maestro" of the series.[26]Furthermore, his Time Trial Challenge DLC pack was released on November 28, 2019.[27]

The online services ofGran Turismo Sportwere permanently closed on January 31, 2024. Prior to this, all add-on items from the PlayStation Store that can be used in the game were delisted on December 1, 2023. All offline modes remain playable, including any previously purchased DLC, with the requirement for a constant internet connection also removed.[28]The game was delisted on the PlayStation Store on January 1, 2024.[29]

Open beta and release

edit

In 2017, the game was given a release date of October 17 in North America.[30]A free demo launched on October 9. Lasting five days, the open beta allowed a limited amount of in-game progress to carry over to the full release on October 17.[31]The demo included all three modes: arcade, campaign, and sport.[32][33]PlayStation Plusmembers could pre-load the demo on October 7.[34]While the game is the first in the franchise to connect to PlayStation VR, the demo did not include that feature.[35]The demo also had the livery editor for customizing vehicles and Scapes photo mode.[36]More than a million people played the beta.[37]Lotuswas planned to appear in the game, with theLotus Evora(making the series' debut inGran Turismo 5 Prologue) being playable in the closed beta, but was removed from the final game due to licensing difficulties.[38]

As of January 2018, Polyphony Digital has implemented a traditional single-player mode (akin to previous entries in the series) inGran Turismo Sport.Since its addition, more single-player content has been added via free updates.[39]This is not accurately reflected in most professional reviews, which were written at the time of the game's release and do not account for any of the free content updates released in the years since.

Reception

edit

Gran Turismo Sportreceived "generally favorable" reviews, according toreview aggregatorMetacritic.[40]

Eurogamer's Martin Robinson describedGT Sportas a deviation from past games in the series, by cutting the vast car collections of its predecessors and placing a sharper emphasis on competitive online driving: "There are no lunar rovers, no 19th century single horsepowered wagons and not even anything by way of an open wheel racer to be found in its car list at launch. Yet, conversely, this is possibly the most focused, directly enjoyable game Polyphony Digital has put out since the heady days ofGran Turismo 3".Robinson praised the improved sound design and addition of a livery editor that allows players to create and share their own designs online.[50]The website later ranked the game 21st on their list of the "Top 50 Games of 2017".[51]

IGNlikewise noted thatGT Sport's garage and track selection is smaller when compared to other racing games, a decision they found impossible to forgive, but described the shift to online racing as serious, sensible, and well-structured: "That PvP online environment, or Sport Mode as its dubbed, is where developer Polyphony Digital has gambled all its chips. The good news is that it has indeed created a sturdy online racing venue". Luke Reilly observed the introduction of a Sportsmanship Rating that, over time, separates poor drivers from good ones, and while less than perfect "rewards clean sectors, fair overtakes, and respectful racing".[47]

Ray Carsillo ofElectronic Gaming Monthlyconsidered the game to be visually gorgeous and thought the cars handled well, "easily the strongest aspect of the game", but was scathing in his assessment of the always online approach to play: "If you don't play the game online, you can't save the game, and most of the games features–only single arcade races are available offline–are locked away". Carsillo awarded the game a 6/10 concluding it will disappoint anyone hoping for a more traditionalGran Turismoexperience.[42]

Jason Faulkner ofGame Revolutionwas equally critical of the game, devoting a large portion of his review to observing the differences betweenGT Sportand racing games of rival color: "You'll get a lot more feeling of the weight of the cars as you drive them in this game than you do inForza,but there's still something lacking when compared toProject Cars 2".While the cars are stunningly recreated with excellent handling, Faulkner said there simply aren't enough of them, especially when contrasted with the two aforementioned titles:" The track list is sparse as well. There are only 17 locations available in GT Sport, with variations bringing the total number of circuits up to 40 ". Faulkner lamented the loss of single-player content in favor ofGT Sport's new online mode, which no matter how well crafted, would be unavailable when not connected to the servers.[44]

Justin Towell ofGamesRadarawardedGT Sport4/5, citing superb tracks, solid controls and incredible handling nuance across a range of high powered vehicles. Towell said that although the game continues to offer an educational single player experience with a collection of scenarios to overcome, it's somewhat "pedestrian" and not a patch onForza 7's career mode. Instead, the central pillar ofGT Sport,and the game's main selling point, are theFIA-recognised online game modes: "Winning a slipstreaming race around an oval against real opponents is far more exciting than any offline mode. And with the real-world calendar of events taking place at set times, it all feels like it reallymeanssomething ". Towell noted the inconvenience that can arise when players lose internet connection but presumed the measure was" to keep an eye on cheaters ".[46]

InGame Informer's Reader's Choice Best of 2017 Awards, the game came in second place for "Best Racing Game".[52]It was also nominated for the same category in IGN's Best of 2017 Awards.[53]

Sales

edit

Gran Turismo Sporttopped the UK all-formats physical sales charts for one week,[54]selling nearly three times as many copies asForza Motorsport 7.[55]It did the same in Japan[56]and New Zealand, and ranked number 2 in Australia.[57]During its first week on sale in Japan, Gran Turismo Sport sold 150,286 copies, which placed it at number one on the all format sales chart.[58]

The game reached number one on the Japanese download sales charts,[59]number two in Europe,[60]and number five in the United States.[61]

By May 2018, the game had sold around 3.3 million copies worldwide.[62]As of December 2018, the game had around 7.5million players worldwide.[63]By June 2019,Gran Turismo Sporthad sold an estimated eight million copies.[64]
