Gran Turismo Sport
The Gran Turismo series has always placed the cars at the centre of its virtual experience; not the driver, nor the subculture of racing. For GT the vehicles are the characters of the games, their personalities writ large in their handling and the physics of their engines. Gran Turismo Sport is no exception to a formula that has proved so successful. The cars here boast a almost tangible quality in their behaviour on the road, and the visual and aural polish is exceptional, making each feel impressively real. However, there are fewer cars and tracks than in recent iterations. As a result, this is a game with more focus and consistency, and far less bulk. Long revered as an encyclopedia of the automotive, with Sport, Gran Turismo has been rewritten as a thriller devoted to competitive racing. There are those that will miss the series eccentric vastness, but the core tenets of GTs quality persist: nuanced, sincere racing that feels and looks wonderful.
