Gran Turismo Sport - PlayStation® Hits Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

I've been a fan of Gran Turismo titles for many years and am impressed by Gran Turismo Sport as a driving simulator, but am less impressed by it as a racing game. The graphics are crisp and the cars and environments are extremely realistic and beautiful. However, the gameplay takes a step back as compared to the graphics. Using a standard PS4 controller make turning very jerky, which I'm not sure would be better using a steering wheel controller. Finding reverse when you nose into a wall can be extremely frustrating as well. Menus are overloaded with too much information and even on a 55" 4K TV the lettering can be hard to read (or I'm just getting old). The number of tracks and vehicles are limited compared to other car racing titles. There are enough to enjoy the game, but just not as many as I would expect from Sony's flagship racing game. VR mode is AMAZING and makes you feel like you're really in the drivers seat. However, if you do have PlayStation VR connected to your PS4, the graphics suffer a bit because the game will not run in 4K...but it still looks great on a good TV. As much as I enjoy this game, it doesn't stand up to the gameplay and excitement of Forza Motorsport on the XBOX ONE.

I've been a fan of this series for a long time. When Gran Turismo Sport first came out, I was upset that the game was focusing on multiplayer. But, it's actually pretty fun. Plus, there are still plenty of single player races. This game really pays attention to detail. The cars and tracks are great and I'm definitely hooked.

o enjoy this game, one has to first manage his expectation. First of all, this is not Gran Turismo 7. Many of the negative reviews wrongly assume that this is the successor of GT 5/6, which is not the case. This is the on-line, competitive, multi-player version of Gran Turismo. Secondly, while the off-line single player elements is being significantly reduced, you can still enjoy the game off-line in Arcade and Training mode. Right now, there is a limited selection of tracks and cars but more will be added via free updates. The game has recently received an update with more off-line content. The game now includes GT League, which is a much requested feature. Personally, i would take most of the negative comments with a grain of salt. These so call 'Long Time Gran Turismo Fan' did not even realized that this game is marketed as an on-line racer right from the beginning? There is no reason condemning a game for what it is not. Would anyone give World of Warcraft, one star all because it is not a real time strategy game? They do share a part of the same title, don't they? While the release may felt rushed and the lack of off-line content may be disappointing, the developer has been quick to address some of the issues and has even gone so far as to promise all free DLC. The game has already received its major update and there will be more to come in the following year. Believe me, there are still a lot of things to do off-line. Perfecting your time trial on each and every one of the tracks will take up a huge chunk of your life. Before you even realize it, the next update will be just round the corner. That said, the game is polished and enjoyable. Controls on the DualShock controller is top-notched. Graphics are phenomenal and more importantly the races, both online and offline, are fun and challenging. If you love racing game this holiday season is a great time to grab your copy at a discounted price.

Back on playstation after a few years, ive been playing forza as a racing game and while gt sport is not as good it does many other things well and is very close to forza. Good game but forza is a smidge better.

Been playing Gran Turismo since the first one and I'm still impressed with the series. Great cars, great graphics, great tracks, great physics, great music! This title focuses more on professional racing than previous ones, but it is refreshing.

I hesitate to even call GT4 a game. I'm new to a game system. Haven't had one for probably 20 years. Picked up a new PS4 and bought GT4 with it. I knew everything has gotten much more advanced but playing it on my 65" Samsung SUHD TV is amazing! Now all I have to do is hone my driving skills. I've never raced cars in real life but I have raced motorcycles for years. I'm familiar with how a car reacts to inputs and the basics of high speed driving tactics. To make the game realistic, the controls are touchy but they have to be. The game has a driving school that teaches you how to control the car from a very basic starting point. The school has you using different cars (from a Mazda Miata to a Bugatti Veyron) so you can become familiar with the different abilities of the different cars. This is where you realize how realistic the game is. If you push a car too hard going into a corner too fast, under braking the front end starts losing traction and starts drifting to the outside line. You can feel how some cars have better driving characteristics (better brakes, better acceleration, worse understeer, etc, etc) You earn points/rewards as you accumulate miles and tasks as well as earning new race cars that you keep in your garage. You can alter the driving characteristics of the cars if you want to. The game is definitely one that lets you learn and grow as your skills increase along with your equipment. You can even customize the paint scheme as well as your driving suit and helmet. If you get bored with this game, its because you haven't used all its resources available to you. You can race with other drivers online. I'm extremely impressed how realistic they've been able to make the cars work! I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

I would recommend this title if you find a deal. Do not pay full price. The game is amazing, but the content is slim. A great VR game if you find it cheap.

I was really looking forward to GT on PS4. I was not disappointed but did e pest more. Purchased the game on sale so that took the edge off. My hope is that in the next release GT will give its fame a lot more. Gameplay exceeded my expectations when using the stock PS4 controller. I would like to see more cars in the standard GT PS4 version and would like to see GT developers max out the graphic capabilities. This is a good buy if you can get it on sale.
