There is no offline career to speak of in GT Sport instead, the “campaign” is three modes meant to help you learn how best to drive in GT Sport and how to quickly learn the game’s limited track selection.
I can’t remember the last time I saw such a bare-boned racing experience. It’s another way that GT Sport tries its damnedest to force you to participate in their ongoing online tournaments.Įven if you are online, but don’t want to participate in the online races, there is extremely little content to enjoy anyway. If you don’t play the game online, you can’t save your game, and most of the game’s features-only single arcade races are available offline-are locked away. Yes, one of the most annoying things a game can do is at the core of GT Sport. There were no issues connecting online at the very least, and that’s a good thing, because GT Sport needs to always be online. Of course, in the handful of races that I took part in-with official races being held every 20 minutes in order to be counted towards potential advancement-that didn’t stop most people from launching themselves like missiles when it best suited their needs. It warns against crashing or taking turns too quickly better to race smarter and safer. The game even goes so far as to make you watch a pair of “tutorial” videos before it lets you online the first time and how to be a courteous driver. In order to rank up online and have a chance of competing for the fantastic prizes, you need to do two things: win a lot, and win in a sportsmanlike way. GT Sport is recognized by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) and thus has legitimate prizes and trophies surrounding the game and the online competitions it will hold. Part of the reason that appeal is so limited is that most of the game’s focus is on preparing you to race online. And, like the classic music bed underneath the movie, it has a very limited appeal when considering modern audiences. After waiting so long to finally get a proper GT game on the PS4- GT6 launched only on the PS3 at the very end of that system’s life- GT Sport feels like it’s leaning far too heavily on its brand than actually delivering anything new. Much like the footage in that opening movie, however, it’s all in the past. I, like many others, still fondly remember playing Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec with my friends on the PS2. Gran Turismo used to be the pinnacle of racing games franchises, and is a key contributor in the genre’s long history. This opening movie serves as a perfect metaphor for the game, really. There’s no narration here-just a simple, yet elegant classical music piece over the moving montage. When you start up Gran Turismo Sport (after a massive day one patch), you’re treated to an opening cinematic that takes you through the history of car racing.
