Gran Turismo is a saga that has been accompanying a good saga of players for more than twenty years. We mean that the first and exciting edition of Gran Turismo arrived on the original PlayStation, leaving us with our mouths open at what would be one of the first console simulators that offered totally fascinating 3D performance.
For a few days, how could it be otherwise, we have been testing the demo of Gran Turismo Sport that the Sony team has kindly provided for free to all its users, and these have been our first impressions.
The worst thing about the demo is without a doubt that we have only been able to use it for five days, the best thing is that next October 18 we will be able to enjoy the game those of us who have chosen to get hold of it. It is clear that we have found ourselves facing a graphic improvement that can be expected from a product designed by and to get the most out of the PlayStation 4 Pro, although this does not detract from the version of PlayStation 4 that also looks great.
Perhaps a negative aspect has been that we have to choose the time of day to run, not producing a dynamic change in the meteorological aspect. Among the game modes the arcade has stood out, although honestly for this type of task it is not worth going to a title with such an important and personalized development as Gran Turismo, so we recommend that if you want to just run and not squeeze the maximum the sensations that Gran Turismo Sport has prepared for you, the best thing is that you opt for a title from the Need For Speed saga, which graphically is not that far away. The reality is that Gran Turismo Sport is going to create real sensations for us in its simulation mode.
Has left us with honey on our lips
The reality is that the fact of the short list of cars (with respect to games like Forza Motorsports or even other editions of Gran Turismo) can leave us with a bad taste in our mouths. However, it seems to be more than enough, and We are unable to imply that Polyphony opts for the DLCs method of payment when expanding its vehicle garage.
We were also lucky enough to try the Virtual Reality edition, this being the one that notably has taken the worst part. Despite the sensation is maximum, the reality is that the graphic quality and the more than assisted driving greatly interrupt the way in which we take advantage of the playability sensation, that is why I honestly believe that the best method to enjoy Gran Turismo Sport It is in front of a good television, so much so that Polyphony Digital's own developers have chosen this method to get the most out of the game and the console. We are not saying that the Virtual Reality version is not interesting, but it is certainly far from the version that it offers us in an original way.
Clearly Gran Turismo Sport is focused on multiplayer mode, so much so that it has the official seal of the FIA nothing more and nothing less. However, in the demo we have suffered a huge amount of server crashes and other kinds of needs that have forced us to stop squeezing this game mode, so I would prefer not to rate this section until we test it more in depth. We imagine that Sony takes into account this amount of crashes and server problems, because although this is not a FIFA or a CoD, the reality is that the correct situation of the servers will determine the way in which we take advantage of their online version.
Off-piste Gran Turismo Sport offers an overwhelming number of parameters, so you will have to invest a large part of your time not only in customizing the vehicles, but also in finding the engineering that best suits you.
