Gran Turismo Sport Will Not Feature Weather or Dynamic Time-Lapse

[Steve_OS]

In a recent interview with GTPlanet, Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed, Gran Turismo Sport will not feature any sort of weather or dynamic time-lapse, when it releases on November 15.

Quote:

We opted to not have the transitions in the race this time in order to raise the framerate and the quality of the image *during* the race. So the user will be able to set that before they enter the race. So you’ll still be able to have night races, morning, races at dawn, dusk, and so on.

Disappointing. Weather is a critical element if they are trying to make this a legitimate racing esport.

The war between performance optimization and pretty graphics goes on....

As I continue to read articles about GT Sport, I find it more and more disappointing. I won't be purchasing this version of Gran Turismo. No time or weather changes combined with what appears, by all accounts, no offline career mode has quickly turned this game into something I will look beyond.

I wouldn't expect most of those features in GT 7 frankly either, besides career mode.

If I'm reading this right, there IS weather, it's just not dynamic, same with time of day.

Disappointing regardless. We shouldn't be taking steps backwards with more powerful hardware.

Exactly plus this dev is first party and should have the PS4 doing backflips and somersaults with the tech by now. This is unacceptable especially when u have a first game like Driveclub already doing this. Unacceptable.
