Gran Turismo Sport, Polyphony Digital's PlayStation 4 debut that arrives this November, will see one of the key features of the series in recent years dropped, with dynamic weather and light conditions no longer playing a part.
 
The news was confirmed to GTPlanet during this past weekend's 24 hour race at the Nurburgring, where Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi was participating in a BMW M6 GT3. It's come as a disappointment to fans, especially after Sport's already somewhat underwhelming unveiling just over a week ago.
 
"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," Yamauchi told GTPlanet. "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."

    The best feature is the car wash!

    Another step down ! I hope the rest of the game will be good or this time they won't see my money.

    Personally I was thrilled that when I heard that they are ditching the dynamic whether and the day to night cycle. GT 5 on the PS 3 has controlled lighting on the courses and the GT 6 has dynamic, and GT 6 is an absolute visual mess compared to GT 5, play them back to back and see. The Australian map in GT 6 has some of the worst real-time shadows I have seen due to the day/night cycle.

    ...an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.

    Good by immersion.
     
    Those are things most games should have standard.
