So just the track editor plus Gps track creation functionality and PD will have finally delivered on their launch promises for this game. I'll wait for the full set before enduring the slow-horror that is the Ps3 update process for it.

Not sure.

To be fair money isn't an issue.

But I'd expect that kind of retarded I haven't played it and I'm not going to cos of my preconceived notions reasoning here.

I think GT6 defaults with traction control, stability control and ABS on, Driveclub has no such assists.

Tis a great game though I find the DS3 not as engaging for driving games as the DS4.

Huge amounts of content though.

Yes you do.

Nice come back.

To be fair I had my tongue in my cheek.

I saw that indeed. Perhaps this Sport is the FIA tie-in side and a more familiar and fuller GT7 is a ways a way down the line? It's Kaz and PD like you say so I guess we might know sometime in 2018...I loved the way he slowly worked with his trusty interpreter to say basically "FIA, VR, night y'all". Classic Kaz.

Excellent news.

Brands Hatch Nations final should be interesting on the GP circuit.

Yup.. seems fair enough from Eurogamer then on what I've seen so far. 

Looks like they they got that Forza sound guy to just make the tea as they seem to have so far stuck rigidly to the LMP Lawnmower variants. *sigh* Perhaps it'll sound better on a home surround setup cranked a bit?
It looks purdey enough and Brands seemed to be.. correct.. so well done on bringing that on through successfully from GT6 and every other racing game. 
The cars looked to be handling pretty much as Gran Turismo cars seem to, a little bit skatey perhaps and with odd hard body collision physics. No super new dynamic bits falling off, I didn't notice tyre marks being left all over the place, the launch tyre smoke also looked.. GT.

The fact that this is supposedly a FIA sanctioned event (quite the catch for the series and perhaps the real meat to this whole thing?) but there was a good deal of... adventurous passing attempts taking place that did not seem to be commented on by Ren and Stimpy or by some mythical FIA marshalling... 

The fact that there is a setup in GT Sport for a decent spectator mode to watch folks overcooking it in LMP competition cars and flying off at Paddock Hill down Hailwoods was good though. I have many reservations but maybe there's something there? Maybe?

There was a point in the manufacturer final that you had a good three way battle at the front going down to the last few laps on the Nordsleiffifeefiife that seemed to actually offer some half decent racing viewing.. Tight, close control going for a few laps before GAMING handling/physics and a bit of crashy jank made it all fall back to Gran Turismo but quite fun tbh.

If they go big on the online spectating/Twitch tourney thing and try to keep some kind of actual race regs thing setup then this might have a bit of a differentiator.  

It's 6 months out till Kaz says he's going to release it (lol) so there's a bit of fettling to go. The audio seemed less terrible as they seemed to be avoiding any in-car (not ready yet?) and well.. it's still Gran Turismo..

Does it come with a badge?

There's a lot of talk about authenticity and attention to detail but then he never gets the Honda V-tec right.

I'll buy it, I'll probably enjoy it, and I'm glad Sony are still letting him make his bonkers game when Forza looks increasingly sterile. But I think we've all moved on really. I'm more excited about Assetto Corsa.

Get a good crowd online and I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had. Sound and graphics don't bother me too much, but I think it's a bit early to judge yet.

Also looking forward to Assetto and I see it's a reasonable price on PSN. Not read much about it, is it doing anything radical or different?
