Review for Gran Turismo Sport. Game for PlayStation 4, the video game was released on 17/10/2017 The version for PlayStation 4 came out on 18/10/2017

The driver enters the world of the racing game, warmly welcomed in a digital auditorium densely populated by images shot at four fucking kappas. He is disoriented, as an industrial mass of choices seems to be erected in front of him, playful pouring out of just as many recreational possibilities.



He could choose to play his lonely ego by taking part in a whole series of events set up by the Japanese Polyphony Digital, or decide to deposit his own drool on the shining liveries of the hundred and more racing cars reproduced almost fetishistically by Kazunori Yamauchi and his extraordinary development team. Or maybe not.

He prefers to shake his ass and project himself to discern what his fellow men are up to, the other hundreds of thousands of monkeys born with the steering wheel in hand who, before him, by acquiring Gran Turismo Sport, have secured the right to enter a dimension in which the passion for the car is the only point of reference.

He thus approaches the door that leads to the virtual area reserved for online rotations, agrees to fight with the outside world, and it is in that moment that he loses his center of gravity, the compass. He becomes enraged for defeats, rejoices in triumphs, while his online statistics improve in equal measure as his self-esteem swells.

He clashes with scores of competition lovers, tirelessly reverent to His Majesty the Machine. Time passes and the driver realizes how, in Gran Turismo Sport, it is not only important to win, but also to participate, complying with fair and respectful racing conduct. Decoubertian as ever, homo ludens is able to prove their loyalty by blissfully displaying their Sportsmanship rating. And it burns a lot, in the hearts of fans, that the amount of content conveyed is not very high.



Like its predecessors, Gran Turismo Sport is, however, above all competition, the elective dimension of nerds and, at the same time, casual ones. Each online game is in fact adapted to the level of the participants in the driver's canteen: the gamer can decide to qualify for any of the available daily races, wait until the moment of the race arrives and then blast your corneas together with other players of your level, with very hard strokes of the rod and fast laps.

It is impossible not to notice how Polyphony Digital also winks at PlayStation VR owners, giving them a way to show off their racing skills one on one. The entire racing prosopopoeia appears in general lighter than what has been experienced over the years, showing a simplification of the elements surrounding the playful experience that also passes through the modifications that can be implemented on the different cars, quite reduced compared to those contemplated in any other iteration of the franchise .

The damage returns, albeit in a form still far from being definable perfect. The driving model, on the other hand, is confirmed to be tending towards andante realism, being decidedly more permissive than what is codified in other four-wheeled giants such as Assetto Corsa or Project Cars 2.

But the pilot grinds kilometers and continue to become familiar with the forty or so tracks, distributed along seventeen total settings, present in this umpteenth iteration of Gran Turismo. It is when he gets rid of the fear of going off the track or, worse still, crumpled on the guard rail, that his eyes also have the freedom to contemplate the bewitching graphics that distinguish the latest creation of Polyphony Digital. Thanks to the incredible solidity of a frame rate almost always nailed to 60 fps, the orgy of colors and polygons that passes in front of the player's solicited retinas is experienced with renewed ardor.



Gran Turismo Sport is the killer application of HDR: the technique enhances the spectacular work done by the graphics engine, delivering to the gamer a dazzling digital creature like never before.
To close the circle of a decidedly compelling technical sector, there is the sound, which makes a clear leap forward, especially with regard to the reproduction of the different audible sound effects in-game.

Gran Turismo Sport is not a real sequel: you can understand it from the fun but reduced single player mode, from the modest amount of content tout court. The renewed online experience, on the other hand, represents something different from the recent past. Gran Turismo Sport is continuity and rupture put together, a melting pot that continues to thrill, today as yesterday.
