May be some use to someone. Choosing to buy Gran Turismo Sport via click and collect at Smyths takes £5 off the total, bringing it down to £38.99.

How do you get the free trial? My other half is looking at getting it (he's just got the new Project Cars) he could try before he buys this way! :grin:
Yeah, I think I'll give it a go first also. I'd really like something similar to the Race Driver: Grid games, or even something like Project Gotham Racing, but nothing like that exists these days.
This is supposedly a simulation, but there's zero impact damage - something that really added to the Race Driver series.

if you mean car damage, try the demo and see for yourself

Not likely. Also, VR is limited to 1 Vs. 1 Races so not exactly a selling point.

Make sure you check your invoice after collecting? Had the same deal on Fifa 18 and I had to get in touch to get the £5 refunded after being charged full price. Took a few days to get it back.

As this is VR capable, does it mean it'll work with a 3D TV?

Is this a full size Gran Turismo game, or is this similar to Prologue on the PS3?
I've not been following it for a while, but searching for this mentions 177 cars, while GT5/6 were much higher than that.

It's not a full GT game in the traditional sense. More than Prologue but GT Sport would appear to be all about online racing.

What do people think then? Servers seemed to be very wobbly last night, and when they were down you couldn't even play arcade mode offline. The game also froze and then completely crashed my PS4 Pro once.
When I actually got to race it was good, although typically the usual "driving on ice" feeling of Gran Turismo. You go into a corner at what feels like walking pace and shoot off into the barriers. Do it again the next lap and realise that you were actually doing 90mph. No sense of speed.
That said, I found myself repeating the same races, just to fight my way up the pack and get first. I did notice that, despite being set to "expert" I was getting most of my overtakes on the straights by just driving straight past people, despite getting a horrible corner exit. It felt a bit depressing to be out-dragging a Veyron in an unmodified Charger Hellcat - like they were just letting me win.
Weirdly, I still want to play more though.
Did anybody figure out how to skip tracks on the in-game music as well? There are some good tunes, but others are absolute trash!
