I already know I’m going to spend so much time parked in this game as I make perfect use of photo mode on possibly every single turn. The sky is also incredible, especially in the morning and evening races. The visuals in the portions of the demo that I experienced looked great, although you can tell it still needs touch-ups with objects that rest outside of the track. In fact, after about 2 minutes, I decided to quit and go back to asphalt. I don’t know if it was the vehicle or just my inexperience with the game, but I couldn’t tame my car. The last race I tried was on a dirt road where I slid around as if I were on slippery ice. And I’m also certain most casual players appreciate being able to bounce off walls like that at events such as PAX East.īut since I didn’t have much time to spend with Gran Turismo Sport I quickly went through a couple of different races just to have some hands-on experience with it. In fact, on my second and third pass I couldn’t actually beat that corner doing it the correct way. At this point in development colliding with a wall hardly slows down the vehicle at all. While I did race fairly well and control my corners, I did have a few moments early on where I bounced off of a few walls. I partook in a time trial event as well on what I believe was the Tokyo Expressway.

The game felt good to play as I made sure to race down a track I’m so incredibly familiar with, Nürburgring. During that time, however, I got my hands on familiar controls that we’re all probably used to at this point from the GT series. While it’s a game I could have easily used an entire tank of gas on, I unfortunately only had about 20 minutes to sit in the driver’s seat.

I had an opportunity last weekend to spend some time with Gran Turismo Sport at PAX East 2017. I love speed, pretty visuals, and pushing engines to their limits to be the first to see the checkered flag. It doesn’t matter if it’s the most realistic of simulation or the craziest of arcade, I’ll play them all.
