Push Square: "Gran Turismo Sport launches this week, and it will snatch the PlayStation 4 racing game baton from DriveClub with little resistance. Evolution Studios’ simcade didn’t enjoy the best start to its short life, being driven out of the PS4’s launch window before releasing in a particularly sorry state. But the British developer – since shuttered and handed over to Codemasters – performed a miraculous U-turn to get the title up to scratch, and it represents a pretty strong alternative if you’re not interested in Polyphony Digital’s latest."
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has delisted Gran Turismo Sport from the PlayStation Store as of January 1, 2024.
The great digital future. Where games vanish. The benefits of digital just aren't enough over physical to every buy in 100 percent. Especially when my Atari games still work and can be played to this day over 40 years later. Some of these digital games don't even last a whole generation.
Online based titles like this I wouldn't expect to last forever as the game has been updated iterations as in gt7
Same with if FIFA 20 was delisted as example there's update to game. If something like Uncharted collection was delisted then that's something that's bad
You pay stupid money for digital games and DLC, then it goes missing. Who's laughing?
On January 31, 2024, at 06:00 UTC, the online services of the PlayStation®4-exclusive software “Gran Turismo Sport” will come to an end.
Time to get a PS5! New PS5 owners in the USA can currently claim a game for free, but GT7 is not part of this promotion.
GT sport was good. Gt7 is better.
For someone who was crap at racers (and still is) and only played kart racers with powerups, I can say GT sport and gt7 balance SIM/ arcade racing to perfection. Easy enough for anyone to play and not crash but with enough depth to master for years.
Totally different to need for speed / Forza handling where the cars feel 'floaty'.
The dualsense is just supreme with gt7 toi
After Turismo 4 on the PS2, the series was never the same. Although Turismo 4 wasn't a finished game and didn't play as good as Turismo 3. Turismo 5 on PS3 was a mess, Turismo 6 was Turismo 5 finished. Sport on PS4 was another mess, especially VR mode. Sort of back on track with Turismo 7, but so tiring as with the Forza series. Anyone remember the PSP version that had no championship mode? Turismo has always been average at best.
Thats why i dont like online only games. Cant believe this, this game sold so well. You need to be a fanboy to keep supporting Sony after this. Bought this thinking that it would take 10 years for this. I'm lucky that there are enough classics and single players for a life time.
If you have a large 4k screen and a Pro, you may be disappointed. I tried Driveclub after GTS and was surprised how spoiled I've gotten with the enhanced graphics. Probably not a big deal if you have a1080p TV.
RIP Evolution Studios
And you can easily get DriveClub for less than £5 nowadays, the online servers are still alive and kicking, and the game has an easy but very grindy Platinum trophy (likely why the Platinum obtained rarity percentage still sits at just 0.5% on PSN).
LOL. DC is an arcade racer and completely limited in just about everything GTS isn’t - canned physics, no tuning, no customizing, no modifying, no livery editor... not even one real world track. . That’s like saying Call of Duty a good alternative RPG and RBI Baseball an alternative to MLB The Show.
Also DC has no PS4 Pro support, doesn’t support steering wheels properly and is capped at 30 fps. It has more in common with the likes of project Gotham racing, NFS and all those.
So no. It isn’t. Not even close.
