Eurogamer: Gran Turismo Sport's debut, you might have heard, was far from spectacular. Polyphony's debut on the PlayStation 4 didn't just lack the spectacle you'd hope...

Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).

Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.
The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.
Lyam writes: - Mekabolt is very simple in concept. Your gun itself is the mekabolt and shooting enemies allows you to manipulate them in a way to continue on in the stage. For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.
The Porche deal is done this year. With this in mind I hope Polyphony has a nice surprise in store for us...GT3 RS >nough said.
Gran Turismo has been getting some tough competition from Forza Motorsport in recent years
I'm glad PD have stepped up and made changes. The initial demo looked really crap and they now appear to have made significant changes. This is why you don't just accept any old crap shoved at you. That criticism has paid off and just like Respawn, PD have listened.
need to start saving for a wheel now!
thank god. i used to love gran turismo but i felt the last couple releases have fallen behind the competition. i can't wait to see gt7 running on my newly acquired ps4 pro though - especially after reading this.
