Ah yes, the real-time weather and cloud simulation is everything I hoped for. I have enjoyed the limited applications of this already so much in the past, a slightly foggy start of the race on the Nurburgring, then the sun breaking through in parts of the track, setting fire to the red paint of your cars and those around you, then specs of rain on your windshield, driving while night falls and the lights turn on, awesome stuff.
And now with really nice graphics too. The raytracing looks really nice now, much evolved from the early showings. I am genuinely excited again. Basically everything is in here and looks to combine the best from all generations and GT Sports amazing online racing improvements, and this time no limitations, all tracks have real-time day night and weather as far as I could tell, which is a first. Nice to see even improvements to the livery editor too, which is already pretty great even if I underuse it (I painted Garfield on an orange Porsche 911 I think), I enjoy when other people do.
I think the music mode is a bit frivolous, never been a great fan of timed arcade modes, but it would be funny to recreate Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge with it, especially in two player split screen mode [emoji28] and my only other critique perhaps
And I think I’ll be playing a bit more with headphones on again now … the combination of the cars around you and specs of rain on the car. Really nice, intimate feeling that has always been in real life.
And of course Deep Forest and Trial Mountain … old friends!
Will be interesting to see what tracks are added later. And if the game gets an update when the PSVR2 is released …
But generally, I am really really excited. And what a generous and complete look at the game. Much more than I expected.
