Hot on the heels of today's release date announcement, Sony has deployed the first PlayStation 4 gameplay trailer for Gran Turismo Sport, which… Looks a little bit rough if we're honest. Make no mistake, it's a handsome game, but with Polyphony Digital's property setting the visual benchmark so many generations in a row, we're not entirely blown away.
That said, there's a lot to see in this trailer, from core racing gameplay right the way through to the title's obligatory photo mode and new livery editor. It's all lovingly presented, as you'd expect from the Japanese developer, but it's clear that this is still a work in progress, because some scenes look straight up rough. The firm's got until 15th November to clean things up.

Looks alright. Hope PD aren't rushing to meet PSVR launch window though.
OMG.... Hyyyyyypeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
The Photo mode....the photo mode.....the photo mode.... (faint rolling back from his chair....)
Yeah the locations look quite low res eh?
Maybe its because it has to work on vr also
@Dodoo according to Eurogamer it looks, sounds, and plays like GT6. The PSVR mode and Jaguar CPU are holding it back. But we will see in 6 months.
I couldnt enjoy the trailer, that song was god awful. "Uh, wah, yeah!"
Maybe 15th November... 2019??
@SuperSilverback Haha, the song was pretty awful, eh?
@WebHead
Down with VR! Making my games look all fugly.
Might get, i like racing games, but i like the look of practically all games coming out though.
@WebHead I see thanks.
Will be interesting to see if there's a 'Neo' version on the disc also...?
from 1;20 i thought i was looking at gran turismo 4.... Furthermore, compare this to driveclub... I wish Polyphony Digital was disbanded instead of evolution studio's....
Looks nice but GT has always looked nice
@Sanquine While the trailer is disappointing in parts, you have to remember Gran Turismo is 60 frames-per-second and DriveClub is 30 frames-per-second.
@get2sammyb
Well, let's just not compare it to that superior series, you know, Forza, better gameplay, better graphics, and you don't have to wait half a decade
(grabs his pitchfork to stab the incoming Sony fanboy horde).
That song is like a EDM mix of Yoshi's Island.
Damn photo mode looks awesome. Camera replays looks the bizz as always. I just hope the cars don't sound like vacuum cleaners again! Forza's car sounds were authentic. If I recall there was a "making of" video of how they recorded every car sound with mics from behind the cars exhaust to on top of the bonnet. And they even ran the cars on dynos to record a more realistic driving sound. I'd rather play a racing game that doesn't look all that eye candy and have authentic loud car sounds than awesome looking cars with vacuum cleaner engine sounds.
@Sanquine
Exactly! I play GT6 on a weekly basis because of its handling, which for me is near perfect, but the game itself looks like GT5, which in turn looked an awful lot like GT4... So looking at this trailer closely I couldn't help noticing it does indeed look like GT6 with some better shadows and lighting, but with a worse framerate.
I'm not a Forza player, I can look at it and admire what it's doing, but the moment I start a race I'm constantly thinking "it's not Gran Turismo". But when I look at Forza 6 or play it, I can clearly see the difference with Forza 5, which in turn looked better than part 4. How is it that Polyphony can't seem to surpass the PS3 levels of performance? Why aren't the sounds of the cars fixed by now? Why do they give us a game with way less content than they gave us last time?
They should've remastered GT6 instead of trying to do what Driveclub already did and failed miserably at, and focus on making a GT7 that is distinctly better than its predecessor. GT6 would finally get the love it deserves from racing fans all around the world that aren't interested in social features but just want to burn some virtual rubber.

Great graphics. I just hope driving is fun. Drive Club was pretty to look at but the controls irritated me and I ended up deleting it.
@Boerewors Forza 4 looked worse than Forza 3 in my opinion, I think they went from 30fps to 60fps but I'm not sure unless I checked.
I'm a huge Forza fan, but they took a huge step back introducing microtransactions in 4, and 5 was unfinished. One of the main reasons I went for a ps4 was the forza 5 fiasco.
I'm interested in GT after skipping 5 and 6, pity they are using the nurburgring as a demo - that no off track speed lap license test from gt4 was the devils work. But I'm pretty hyped.
@Boerewors They seem to be having the same problem all Japanese developers are having: they're simply not as good as Western studios.
@get2sammyb Damn Fox Engine, going to waste
Did you see it?
DECAL editor!
@kyleforrester87
That's a real shame indeed. Such a wonderful engine that scales so well. But even then @get2sammyb is right: the Fox engine is apparently mostly the work of Western engineers. These Japanese devs are a gen behind on a technical level and only the ones that use UE4 have a fighting chance it seems. Epic is single handedly saving the Japanese console gaming industry by giving them proper tools and support in their own language.
Polyphony is unfortunately stuck in the past and although GT6 was an engineering marvel, giving us the full HD PS3 game that Sony promised 9 years earlier, they don't seem to be up for the task at this point.
Wow. Photo Mode includes Aoraki Mount Cook in NZ! I used to live and work there. I wonder if they'll have some tracks based in NZ. The road alongside Lake Pukaki would make a fun race track.
Even if they have to let the looks go a bit due to PSVR which is understandable it will still handle like a grand turismo game so I'm in.
Played GT3 a bit and 100percented GT4. Then I was majorly hyped for GT5 but let down a lot because it didn't improve at GT4 at all. Never even bothered with 6 because it seemed to have the exact same issues.
So I can't say Im hyped for this even a little bit. They dropped the ball a long time ago with their complete ignorance to huge problems in their games. The AI, engine sounds, lack of damage models, and a long list of incomprehensible game design decisions.
Probably not far off the mark saying its only 50per cent complete most of the on track footage was using the same cars as in the first race in the live stream...quite a lot in trailer if you watch a couple of times
@Boerewors Sorry on what front did Driveclub fail except the bad release the game is just fantastic. And also one with the most free good DLC I saw in ages.
@get2sammyb if we're living in a world where this is considered a little bit rough looking, I think we'll all pretty damn lucky.
@Flaming_Kaiser
I should have explained that a bit. Driveclub is a great game, but it didn't achieve what it set out to do. DC was supposed to be all about "social racing", something some marketing peeps came up with judging from similar games that tried the same, but in the end you play DC because of how it handles and how gorgeous it looks.
To see GT isn't focussing on what made the series so great, but tries to shoehorn in all this social, online or FIA partnering stuff is just killing me. Stick to the d*mn core values of the series and give us fans what we want; we already have a, slightly more arcady, Driveclub which is a fun game, but not because of its online functions...more despite of.
@Flaming_Kaiser
Yes, I would have been much more hyped for Driveclub 2, I would have loved to seen what Evolution could have built off that foundation. It was a stellar final product.
Gran Turismo just comes off as a rather stale and stagnant franchise these days.....
There isn't a Gran Turismo news without Forza superiority comment in the internet. lol...
No way in hell this comes out this year.
Yeah this won't come out this year....
Maaaaan.. Love some Gran Turismo!
I dont know guys but I personaly am fascinated about partnership with FIA. Kaz is going right way all along. Maybe this way is different from yours. But dont be sad, you have forza, Project Cars and driveclub
I'll be honest...GT (and other car games like it) are just like FIFA, each release brings so little to the table that I can't even get hyped for it anymore. Still love playing it, but I have other priorities.
Never been a huge fan of GT (always been more of an arcade racer fan) - but Driveclub has made me more interested to try this out. It does look ropey in places at the moment but there are some cool features by the look of it. Will be keeping an eye on how it develops, can't imagine Sony would be too happy with the coverage so far.
Yea, the game looks so bad, it's so rough lookin! Good grief.

I don't like racing SIM's. Forza, Gran Turismo, Project Cars... BLAH.
But I loved, LOVED, Forza Horizons 2. It was more an arcade racer, you didn't have to shift gears manually and look out the dash window, and do everything super realistically. That game was brilliant. Need more of that, less of... this.
@JaxonH
Nah man, the Forza Motorsport games are also brilliant. If I had to choose only one I'd go with Horizon but why just one when you can have both? That's the way I see it.
@Gamer83
Like I said, I don't like the SIM's. I'm sure they're great games and all, but not for me.
