I need to play this more. It’s really a cool fucking racing game. @stepee It’s better than Forza. 

[Rodimus]

This seems like an easy choice to play in VR but I want a Wheel and those are expensive.

[nublood]

I need to go ahead get this. Polyphony deserves my money for everything they've added to this game after release. They listened to fans, added a single player campaign, and have added a ton of additional cars, tracks and other content for free.

Forza is a glorified Need for Speed. Gran Turismo is a racer. 

One allows women to race while the other is a mans game.

It really is. They could’ve have just said fuck it. It’s really off the radar now. I still enjoy racing from time to time.

Half way through the license events. Finally got all gold on the first 25.

I got this cheap to play in VR. Although its install footprint is big.

UK/Japan/New Zealand/Australia are where GTS charted highest. In December 2018, it was announced that it had 7.5 million players online worldwide, and in the UK, it tripled the sales of Forza Motorsport 7 at launch.

 

It's doing well and has a big community, definitely outside the US, more proof that we on the board don't matter at all in terms of sales.

I only mentioned Australia because my friend was big into GT4 and he showed me the Australian servers and how they race all serious. They say, "Respect the track mate." and if you bump someone's car they will boot you from the race.

To support the release of the Red Bull X2019, an endurance series has been added in addition to seven new rounds across the other leagues.

 

[Biggie]

Love these updates!

[nublood]

With all these free updates, and the fact they actually listened to disgruntled fans about no SP mode, also the fact it's only $20 would make this the best racing game I've never bought.

 

[XxEvil AshxX]

How is the single player? I know they patched in a SP campaign, but is the racing itself fun? I would probably never play it online, so I've been holding off on grabbing it.
