It looks to teach each player the intricacies of each track, and the driving tools required to become a master of them.
GRAN TURISMO 6 PC REVIEW HOW TO
GT Sport looks to remedy this by teaching people how to drive, shepherding them into racing tutorials that instruct on not only racing basics but more complex driving techniques. Online racers, more often than not, feel like competitive bumper cars than a competition of driving skill. More often than not every car piles up on the first turn and the one who makes it out in first place usually stays there. Those who’ve ever played a racing game online know what this usually entails. While online racing is nothing new, GT Sport is attempting to tread new ground in a revolutionary way. Everything in the single player “Campaign” of GT Sport is designed to teach you how to race, and once you’ve mastered this, take those skills online to compete with others. While you may still enjoy GT’s brand of driving and beautiful visuals, there’s just nothing to sink your teeth into on this front. If you’re looking for a single player racer, GT Sport is not the game you’re looking for. Single player modes in GT Sport amount to driving tutorials, situational challenges dubbed “missions”, and drill-downs on every nook and cranny of each track in the game. Instead, Polyphony wants to play driving instructor to its players. The single player career modes that most racing games feature is absent in GT Sport. Aside from the fact that it’s beautiful to look at and offers an incredible driving “simulation” there’s an indefensible lack of content for those looking for a single player experience. If anything, GT Sport is ambitious…perhaps to a fault.Įverything in GT Sport is designed to teach players to be better racersĪnyone that’s considering purchasing GT Sport should know a couple of things about this racer. It takes a less is more approach, offering less cars and tracks, less single player content, and trades that for exacting detail and a laser focus on competition.
GRAN TURISMO 6 PC REVIEW SERIES
GT Sport is bewildering in its design, breaking away from a conventional structure that games in this series (and racing games in general) has adhered to for quite some time. This sentiment comes directly from Kazunori Yamauchi, and it’s a strange one as the series creator has taken this franchise in an entirely new direction with this release. Gran Turismo Sport is this generation’s first, and while the name doesn’t have a number behind it, it is a main entry in a series which has seen spin-offs occasionally.
It’s one of the most popular racing series of all time, with Polyphony Digital releasing a new game on every PlayStation console to date. The Gran Turismo series IS PlayStation’s flagship driving game.
