amazon Gran Turismo Sport reviews
Right from the opening movie, Japanese game makers have shown their ingenuity with cinematic frames and glossy graphics that show the power of a PS4 exclusive game. Even the smallest details from the steering wheel, wheels, or even screws are reproduced as accurately, meticulously, and as realistically as possible. Physical effects are calculated in particular when the wheel has elasticity, elasticity, and damage simulation, are done very well, contributing significantly to satisfying the “prying eyes” of the customers’ favorites of this genre.
Polyphony Digital also completes the lighting effects well. It uses other “terrific” effects such as ambient occlusion. “physically-based rendering” technology applies the reflective scene to the surface of the material car to recreate famous racetracks worldwide, such as Willow Springs, Interlagos, Nürburgring, Brands Hatch, Suzuka. Even at “silence” time, but still very true and vivid. Especially if your T.V. can support HDR, the frames of Gran Turismo Sport will become more “brilliant” than ever.
Compared to the image part, the sound array is also a big step forward compared to its predecessors – which is considered lagging, not outstanding. Gran Turismo Sport not only reproduces the appearance but also accurately describes the sound of each car with many layers of nuances, from the sound of the engine, the sound of the machine running, or the screeching sound every time we step on the cornering brake. All give players a real feeling like being on a real track.
It would be a big mistake to mention this series without mentioning its soundtrack. With its unique sounds, the music of Gran Turismo Sport blends with the scenery, leading you through the winding roads in the mountains or the bends by the sea, accompanied by the rhythm of jazz fusion songs, Characteristic funk. The game will make you extremely excited to step on the accelerator to challenge the speed!
Game makers in the land of the rising sun never brag about themselves. Indeed, with the slogan “The Real Driving Simulator,” Polyphony Digital has done a great job in accurately simulating the feeling of being behind the wheel.
Gran Turismo Sport will not let you play the role of “superman” rushing on the road and then slamming on the brakes to get a magical turn that we often see on screen. Instead, you have to completely master the lap situation like professional racers: from speed to shifting gears, pressing brakes, or being knowledgeable about the car you choose to get a better advantage. All must be precise if you want to have perfect handling on different terrains and surpass your opponent, which is not simple.
It sounds challenging, but don’t worry too much; Gran Turismo Sport will ensure to provide you with a lot of detailed lessons from basic to advanced. Enough for players to confidently master race with the best performance, besides the reward is the valuable supercar after each “course.”
If you feel a bit tired on the way to conquering speed, go to “Scape” mode, which is also an interesting addition to the usual “photo mode.” Containing dozens of pre-built background scenes from famous landmarks worldwide, you can create beautiful photos according to your preferences and intentions with extremely detailed and intuitive tools. So great.
Do you feel that the “Mission Challenge” part is too simple or the A.I. (artificial intelligence) too easy to beat? Come to the online game mode – where “real” racers compete.
In cooperation with the International Automobile Federation – FIA, Polyphony Digital focuses mainly on multiplayer Gran Turismo Sport. Players from around the world will compete in two categories: the “Nations Cup” (national tournament) and the “Manufacturers Cup” (the tournament based on the automaker). The players with the highest achievements will jointly win the final to be honored alongside real-life racers. That is also the most interesting part for the writer because now it is not just a virtual game; the track of Gran Turismo Sport will be fiercer and more realistic than ever!
Besides the main tournament held weekly, Polyphony Digital also has “Daily Events” for players. You need to register to participate in the race; the game will arrange for players to participate in the race with competitors worldwide. Vehicles are divided into six groups from Group N to Group X. The challenge level will be divided into many different highs and lows, depending on the car you choose. It’s always more fun to beat the real racers out there than winning the machine’s A.I. That will also cost you hours of technical training if you want to rise to the top.
Gran Turismo Sport will be completely “paralyzed” if the player, unfortunately, loses the network connection; only the single-player “Arcade Mode” can work in offline mode only. Worse, you can’t even access the driving guide or use Photo Mode, buy new cars, or even save the game. That interrupts the experience and makes the player feel very uncomfortable!
At present, the content of the game is still too sparse. The single-player content is unattractive, players are forced to complete driving lessons, and some are not “easy” at all; it brings a big challenge for gamers (especially for gamers) are “newbies” who have little or no access to racing simulation games) instead of comfortable experiences with speed. By the time you start the “Mission Challenge” mode, you will probably be disappointed because the “big” lessons that the game teaches are rarely applied.
The small number of cars is what many players complain about Gran Turismo Sport. With an approximate number of vehicles of only 160 units, it is too modest when placed next to the number of thousands that the predecessor game Gran Turismo 6 achieved. However, the developer promises to add more cars in the future. DLC packs are coming later. Although Gran Turismo Sport has owned the most famous supercars and reproduced them perfectly, this “quality” part can hardly make up for the “quantity” that speed followers are desire.
The absence of weather elements also makes the game lose some of the vibrancy in the environment and reduces the challenge for adventure-loving racers. Compared to other comparable competitors such as DRIVECLUB and Forza Motorsport 7, this is also a big minus point that hopefully Gran Turismo Sport will improve soon in the future.
If you imagine the game “V.R. Tour” will give you the true feeling of the fierce racing tracks, then perhaps Gran Turismo Sport will make you a little disappointed. Instead of giving the feel of a real professional racer, the game only gives you the “experience” of sitting in the cockpit of a detailed racing car with basic aids such as a 360-degree view, 3D display, and support of A.I. single racing mode only. That makes this game item will be listed in the “play for the know” list, not the “loyal.” On the other hand, the hardware of the PS4 is still limited, so the graphics are minimized as much as possible so that the frame can run stably in the virtual reality environment.
