0Gran Turismo Sport - Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 2015 - Test Drive Gameplayinto the pit, but it’s done this way to facilitate the cutscene. One of the later school tests involves cutting a stop short to make up time on your opponents. It’s a lesson that comes in handy during the Mission Challenges.
Ah, Mission Challenges. Compared to the license tests and time trials of the other two campaign modes, this is a hefty part of the experience. But that isn’t saying much: there are 64 challenges, and fifteen of those are sector challenges. A third of them are at least races, though they’ll typically be no longer than four laps.
There are hints of diversity here: the Cone Challenge is like FM7‘s Top Gear bowling (if massively simpler). Meanwhile, Catch-Up has you hunting down the road version of your racing Alfa Romeo in as short a time as possible, with the distance between you counting down in live time in big, bold numbers. It’s a shame both are one-offs.
On the plus side, the Time Rally from GT6’s Sierra events is back! There’s something strangely appealing about maximizing those time extensions.
The endurance races are easily the standouts of the missions. In fact, the one in the demo was probably the best of the bunch. A 30-lap endurance race around Maggiore in a 911 RSR is an excellent experience in GT Sport. But there’s only six events that require more than 15 minutes of your time, and nary a championship-style points system to be seen.
The level system, credits, Mileage Points (a secondary currency) — it all means parts of the CARPG aspect are alive and well. But it feels at odds with the rest of the game, like it was shoe-horned in to satisfy traditionalists. Which is this, a focused esport racer or a digital automotive sandbox? The CARPG elements suggest the latter, but the content levels, the former.
I completed all of campaign mode in my third day of GT Sport. While I can go back to any of the events if I want, there’s little incentive. The big prizes are one-time only, and given the game’s competitive class structure, I’m not as inclined to buy every car. Time to head to online, then…
Online Features –
GT Sport has been built around the online experience. While you may have heard that online is only 15% of it, that doesn’t appear to be the case. It may be that percentage in terms of available features (Sport Mode, Campaign Mode, Livery Editor, etc), but the game funnels players towards that eponymous mode.
Before you can enter Sport Mode, you have to complete the Racing Etiquette section. Don’t worry; it’s simply two videos, totalling five minutes. It’s a little strange, since there’s no real explanation about the two aspects of your license. Driver Rating is your general speed, and Sportsmanship Rating is how clean/dirty you are on track.
What racing does happen online, especially in Sport Mode, is a cut above what you typically find from the genre. It seems the offline training sessions really do imprint on other players. My first online race, the whole pack made it through the first two corners at Brands Hatch without incident. That’s frankly unheard in other games.
If you’re sensing a “but”, yes, there is one. Sport Mode, in its current form anyway, is very, very limited. There are three races that cycle every 20 minutes, but according to a notice in-game, the tracks will be updated weekly. This means that at the top of the hour, for the next week, the only Gr.4 race you can take part in that affects your driver rating is at Suzuka East.
