I really hope those 1200 cars aren't just ported from GT5's 1100 cars...Also hope there aren't 34 R34s again.

Cuz the PS4 version isn't ready and won't be out till 2050....

Pre order now!


Bastards take forever to launch GT5, then within a short period of time they release a sequel. Fortunately because of the delayed launch of GT5 I've discovered the beauty of Forza.


Hopefully they improve the bloody sound effects.

[carmaniac]

Someone gave me a copy of GT5 for my birthday, but it hasn't been opened because I don't have a PS3. Didn't bother getting one cause I found Forza 4...

[knight604]

They make 2 grand turismos for every PS , this is ps3's second one.

[twitchyzero]

disappointed they are gonna stick to the embarrassing standard models from 8 years ago.. I can see why they wanna stick to the 2 games on 1 console gen but GT5 was memory starved as it is (evident by the blocky tire smoke)

[R. Mutt]

I've been playing GT since the original came out for the first Playstation....it's what got me into cars and automotive tuning to begin with. That said the franchise has lost some of its luster imo due to the lack of innovation. It's not to say that GT isn't a great game, but when you first played GT what set it apart was the fact that no other console game offered REAL cars with a REAL physics engine. Sure you have R34s and NSX's in other games but they were pos arcade style racers. I remember a car guy (who is actually a full time competition drifter now) showed me how much of a difference suspension tuning made to the way cars handled in-game. It was easy to dump of bunch of money into your car and make a lot of hp, put the "best" suspension, tires el al. The real benifit came when you started adjusting bound and rebound, camber and toe, brake bias and such. You could tame a car that suffered from snap over-steer. You could reduce if not eliminate understeer. When you delved into these finite aspect you truly realized what an amazing game it was.

And it evolved...two was great...you could hear those blow off valves kick and the graphic improvements were very noticable.

Trust me when I say I love and respect GT but the game hasn't really done anything "special" in a long time...and this is coming from a nutter who used to compete in tournaments and has gold in every single license test and race since GT1.

It's easy to complain about the problem, but what one must offer is a solution. How can GT be innovative and reinvent itself?

Why not offer proper ecu tuning? Take it to the next level where one can control timing and air:fuel ratios? Where one must tune their car properly for the type of race. Imagine being able to datalog and see knock, timing, boost and AFRs. Being able to adjust parameters and see your car make more/less power based on your tuning. And not some shitty "NFS Underground" style tuning model where you just move one thing up and the other goes down as a result....something that simulates real life engine dynamics to a respectable degree. It could be as simple as "Set AFR" "Set Timing Range" "Set Boost" and you get some kind of feedback through datalogging or a Virtual Dyno. It could be as complex as obtaining the licensing from a proper Engine Management System like Motec, AEM, Link etc who would like to have a "simulated" version of their product in a game (great marketing strategy) that gamers can remap their various 2D and 3D fuel, timing and boost tables.

In this sense, just because everyone buys the best parts doesn't mean they'll make the same hp. In like manner, just because you make a ton of power doesn't mean your engine will last....this will force players to really appreciate the time it takes in tuning an engine. So you're doing a drag race and EGT's aren't as critical because it's only for a few second...but it sure will be for a long circuit with lots of laps and of course and endurance race. Shit...maybe you run your engine leaner just to save gas and therefore a few extra pit stops on your competition. How about making sure you have a fat and responsive torque curve for rally and drifting....the list goes on.

What about being able to select your octane gas which coincides with how you tune your vehicle?

What about offering real tuning aerodynamic parts for common cars like the evo, sti, s2k, gt-r etc: Varis, Voltex, Chargespeed, Cwest etc

Being able to select actual tires diameters, widths and profiles which influence the handling characteristics

There's sooooooooo much more they could do rather than adding more cars, more tracks and better graphics. Improve the FOUNDATION instead of adding more content. This is what made car guys become gamers and gamers become car guys in the first place! Likewise what I'm saying doesn't have to be done in one foul swoop. It could be incrementally assimilated into the franchise and see how users feel. You could even introduce it based on experience or user level: novice, intermediate, advanced, simulation et al. so users unfamiliar or uninterested with such things don't have to delve into it until they choose to.

[ShyGuy]

PS3's hardware is so dated....gonna be dissapointing i think.

[coolname]

I really hope they offer a 'free roam' mode like horizon but more realistic, also I hope they get a proper damage model

I don't think there will be the premium/standard barrier in GT6, seems like they're trying hard to combat it.
Seeing as they *premiumized* the alpine a110, contach, and also said that there will be cars added in every month as DLC and a car trading system similar to Forza's. Kaz also noted that there are going to be more customizations than ever on each car. Whether that is exterior mods or mechanical, we probably dong know yet. He did note that almost all cars haver customizable rims...

Alrite all news has been complied now let's get onto writing a wishlist everybody.
Mine consists of

-Monthly racing lobbies that have set a set pp and tire combo like in GT5P
-Easy to navigate menu
-Multiplayer races with Ai both offline and online
-Better sound

This is all I could think of so far. Lets see what everyone else wants for the next GT

[smoothie.]

Ill believe it when it's in my ps3 installing.

Announced and released within a year? :fuckthatshit:
Posted via RS Mobile

[Kidnapman]

lol everyone, jokes aside about the how they're going to delay the game again, dunt you all think Kaz thought this over pretty hard? I'm pretty sure when GT5 got delayed and stuff everyone and their cousin heard about it and now thinks that gran turismo is the real delaying simulator. Now that we know that it's being released on the PS3 I'm almost certain that Kaz will release the game on the set date. His companies reputation is on the line and I really don't think he wants to disappoint anymore than he needs to.

One more thing I though I'd want to add to my list

-Rival battles (anyone who has ever played MT knows wat I'm talking about :whistle:)
-A point A to point B mountain / touge race would be nice to have in the map creator.

I'm not sure if anyone else remembers, but when they first announced the custom map creator in GT5 there were pictures of a point to point map, so hopefully they will follow through and make it possible.

edit: found a picture of it

Agreed. Forza FTW!!!

So much more fun.

Sure the premium cars and tracks look better on GT5. But fun factor Forza hands down wins it for me.


I would've loved GT5 if it came out near the launch of PS3. But for the amount of hype and wait I was SEVERELY let down after having so much fun with Forza.

Gameplay, sound effects and lack of mods killed it for me for GT5. Played 2 hours and couldn't get back into it. 5+ years wait to get a game inferior then it's competitors.

[yogenfruz]

Also hope there aren't 34 R34s again.

This.

When they boasted having 1100+ cars, I was excited. Upon looking through the car list after release, I was so disappointed seeing this.

[Klondike]

The PS3 still has to be relevant and they still have to sell their PS3 slims. Had I not already gotten a PS3, I would get a PS3 slim just for GT6.

Also, what I like, is that it's available for PS3. I was on the fence on whether to purchase a racing wheel (I'm sure most will be compatible with PS4) so this is good news.

Kazunori Yamauchi on Gran Turismo 6 Standard/Premium Cars, DLC, PlayStation 4, & More (http://www.gtplanet.net/kazunori-yamauchi-on-gran-turismo-6-standardpremium-cars/)
very sad indeed....most players would rather see 300-400 premium cars than a bunch of PS2 era models...it's like 8 years later and they still can't fully develop a truly HD Gran Turismo game
damage model is staying the same...no mention of car sound being overhauled which is very much needed for a game to feel like it's actually made in this generation.

[shenmecar]

How many of you played GT5 with a wheel?

I think one of the reasons why I gave up on GT5 was because I couldn't get faster lap times on the controller anymore. =\

[Kidnapman]

Wheel enhances the experience 10x, even if it's just the budget wheels without a shift gate. Everyone needs to give a wheel a try, once you go wheel you can't go back. I don't really mind the standard cars actually, but a few more customizable parts for all the cars would be nice.

[twitchyzero]

I think one of the reasons why I gave up on GT5 was because I couldn't get faster lap times on the controller anymore. =\

many of us do...for me it's less about shaving milliseconds off a lap time and the real satisifaction comes from the traction feedback. Man if only they made a wheel with feedback in the clutch and shifter...

Just picked up a copy last night.

Apparently the Euro version of the game has arrived in HK and shops already started selling it.

But prepare to be disappointed. So far I've played about 3 hours. The game is hella easy. I could get gold on the first try on all license test up to international B class.
hardly seem to be any new cars since GT5. or cars that are new aren't very interesting. I've been driving a bone stock BRZ and already beating cars like Z8. If you are a JDM car fan, GT is definitely the best choice.

Driving wise, the game improved a lot. Cars respond a lot better and now have body roll. The game is still great, but better than GT5 overall. But just don't be expect it to wow you. Think of it of GT5.1 LOL

I think the best comparison between GT and Forza is that GT is Best Motoring and Forza is Top Gear.

Is it filled with in game purchases or are they saving that for the next one?

[.Renn.Sport]

No in game purchases, but they are not giving out a lot of reward cars this time. So either grind or buy in game credits off psn store. Each race don't give a lot of credits either.

The game is still 1.0 and the day one patch is not live yet. Neither are their servers, so I can't access any online mode. B spec mode has not been implemented yet either.

The new tracks like Bathurst, Matterhorn and brands hatch are all very fun to drive. But the AI so far in the first 4 license level are a joke. I just unlocked international A, but I can't afford any of the cars to compete I'm them yet lol

[NNT]

Any Senna contents? they made an announcement about partnering with Senna foundation but no other news at all.

[Boostslut]

Thanks for posting the intro to GT6, cause that's the only time i'll ever watch it. Never gonna buy another GT game, after playing Forza for a long time now.

The biggest thing that bothers me about GT, is the AI of the cars. All they do is follow the same line on the track over and over, never changes. I want them to be smart, and race me, challenge me and adapt! I don't play online either, maybe that has something to do with it. GT is just boring. Forza FTW, i'll take 200 cars and a few tracks over 55 GTR's, 42 NSX's, and 25 BRZ's any day.

Bathhurst, and Spa look sweet though!

[twitchyzero]

I wonder what are the chances GT will be ported to PS4 or start from scratch for GT7?
I have no motivation to pick up GT6 because of standard model...seriously they need to let 10 year old sprites go

Still a decent option. (IE: driving your own car in game) but if removing standards = more premiums then I'm all for it. By the improved standards do look A LOT better in gt6; just look at the Mercedes C9

[SkinnyPupp]

:suspicious: So which is it? Can you buy cars with real money or not?

UGH, WTF IS THIS SHIT. Not a fan of microtransactions for a game you've already paid $60 for. Especially if it's true that they reduced rewards from races.

Gran Turismo 6 microtransaction pricing confirmed - GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gran-turismo-6-microtransaction-pricing-confirmed/1100-6416545)

"Users have the optional choice to purchase in-game credits in increments of 500,000 through the PS Store to unlock content faster if they prefer to do that rather than earn them through gameplay," Sony said. "We do not require players to purchase or use purchased in-game currency."

Full pricing details are listed below.

500,000 credits - $4.99

1,000,000 credits - $9.99

2,500,000 credits - $19.99

7,500,000 credits - $49.99

Pricing details for individual vehicles was not provided. However, a video leaked to YouTube shows that one of the most expensive vehicles--the Jaguar XJ1--will sell for 20 million credits, or more than $130. This information is based on early code of the game, meaning final pricing may change.

[Kidnapman]

Shit, the pricing is ridiculous. I think it'd be a lot more cost efficient to just do the good ol rubber band on analog stick if you're that desperate for in game credit :lol

[mos_skeeto]

Ignoring the fact that you're putting more money in a game you spent 60 bucks on, I hate DLC for things you can obtain in the game.

Before if you worked really hard to get a rare car it felt special. Now you can still do that but some punk who puts in money can do the same with no effort.

[Atsui]

at least u can get unlock cars without spending money

u can feel special by getting cars for free :troll:

Totally understand your point, except, that punk probably worked for the money to buy that car, so who's to say he/she did it with no effort. Just another pov..

anyone know if this game is out tomorrow? Why are they always so bad at release dates! It takes time to make and package these game they should have a better idea you would think...

[Edison_Chen]

I'm pretty sure its ok for release for tomorrow.

I pre-ordered the 15th anniversary edition (Limited Edition) at EB Games in Richmond Center, few days ago, and they left me a message today saying they didn't get enough copies of the Anniversary Edition. They have the standard edition only and they have a pre-order bonus of throwing in 15 additional cars vs the 25 cars and a few items in the 15th Anniversary Edition (Limited Edition).

I'm aware for pre-ordering I'm supposed to get some special cars as well, I don't even know how that works... because to my knowledge usually those things you would see a code inside the box on a piece of paper, you input the code in the game and it unlocks the cars for you....

So anyone else got their box same way I did, just the game disc by itself ??

So is the game worth buying? I've read a bunch of mixed reviews so I'm kind of hesitant to buy at the moment..

[G-spec]

^ it's Gran fckin Turismo bro, c'mon now what more needs to be said..... :whistle:

I mean unless you've never played a GT game before in your life, then I understand what you're asking....

I think the only valid complaint people could pin on this game is the shitty car sounds, anything else is nitpicking I think.... and I know the thing with standard cars, which they've actually improved as well, but at the same time it's still hundreds upon hundreds of more cars than any other racing game will give you so that nullifies that complaint.... what I think anyway...

the negative reviews are mostly people who feel like the game is just GT 5.1, a slightly updated version of 5 while at the same time feeling butthurt that the game isn't for the PS4

[smoothie.]

UI layout makes a lot more sense than before.

Quick car garage and tuning access is great.

Cars are... cars. Disappointed that they dont label premium and standard, harder to check the car before buying.

Gameplay is about the same, the physics feel more realistic... to a certain point.

Worth the money? Of course! I didnt buy any gt5 DLC so i basically get access to all those and newer cars, with more tracks... and when the GPS visualizer app comes, its all over.

[SpeedStars]

Suspension physics are :sweetjesus: a lot of standard cars have been "semi premiumized" check out the RUFs. Other standards do look a lot better in gt6 imo

[rJZx]

Can you play gt6 on a ps4?

infinite money glitch
step 1 : buy the AMG VGT as many as you can but DO NOT select it , if u do the game will crash when you go back to 1.00
step 2 : quit game and delete the gt6 patches ( don't delete your save file )
step 3 : disable network
step 4 : run the game and start selling !
NOTE : you only get 20m max for every car you sell so try buying cars till you get back to zero and then sell another AMG :)
step 5 : once you buy what you want save the game and update the game and you will still have all the cars :) have fun

GT6 money glitch 333,000,000 cr for selling AMG VGT - YouTube

What I did was delete the game update, sold the Vision GT, got the 20m went back and update the game, brought 20 vision GT and delete the game update again.

Even the car sold is for 330 million, but the max amount of money you can get is 20m. So you gotta spend it all before selling a second one. if you ran out of Vision GT, just sell the last one and keep the 20m and update the game to buy another 20.

Garage limit is 250, and stockyard is glitchy at the moment, there is a chance of losing your stockyard cars.

[mos_skeeto]

So is the game worth buying? I've read a bunch of mixed reviews so I'm kind of hesitant to buy at the moment..

I think it comes to this. If you love cars and have a PS3, Gran Turismo is a no brainer. If you have an XBOX Forza is a no brainer. Both are must haves on each console.

If you're lucky enough to have both you can start to nitpick between the two. Forza has the better racing experience and GT is more sim/encyclopedic.

should have read this yesterday
just bought it at EB ....

[westopher]

I managed to find a buyer within like 10 mins of posting it haha.

[G-spec]

Been playing GT since the very first one, and GT6 been playing it since release every single day with a steering wheel...

The most welcome change to the game most people would agree is the physics and menu system and load times are ridiculously awesome now compared to GT5, easy to get around the menu, I mean past annoyances like multiple load screens while you go back and forth through the various options and menus (getting around the game)... it's all so streamlined now, much easier much faster to access. Just changing the oil in GT5 made me wanna pull a hair out, then when buying a car part, DO YOU WANNA BUY, OK YOU BUY, DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL CAR PART, OK CAR PART INSTALLED... like for fcks sake, multiple menu pop ups for such a simple thing... that's the type of shit they fixed with the new menu system.

The bad is, cars still sound like they're half muffled, making money is harder, and for the first time ever I am noticing just how much framerate drop there is when for example you're using cockpit view or when cars kick up some dust, and when those two happen combined, framerate drops really low... I always thought they made the game to run constantly at 1080p and 60fps.... but I get framerate drops to probably about half that quite often, I find myself having to get out of cockpit view just to be able to play the game properly and see things on the track. I understand limitations of the PS3, but still though this is the most frustrating thing in the game for me, I want to drive in cockpit view at all times, or a hood view, but still no hood view in GT for whatever reason we are stuck with a roof view for fcks sake

And to you guys speaking on the game from hearsay, and read reviews, well don't, unless you know what GT really is and if you've actually played it

The lack of money making I actually really like, it's forced me to change the way I play the game. I don't fully tune out cars anymore, I'm wise with my money and it makes me enjoy every car I drive instead of continuously waiting to buy and max out the next car, then the next. Basically it's not a repetitive thing to me anymore this game, and the way I played it before feels like cheating now that I've played GT6.. so I'm digging the new money thing, even if I had free credit to purchase the 20 mill in game I wouldn't even use it.

Does GT6 still have standard/premium car loadout where the standard cars look like shit with stretched textures? I know I bought the Formula GT and it was classified as a "standard" car and it had a whole bunch of jaggies, like not even jaggies, it looked like a fucking staircase on the rear diffusers. :Puke:

I'm not paying more for another rehash. If cars still seem like they ride on rails if you nudge them in the back then, to me, that's not improvement on in-game physics.....

[Gucci Mane]

I think it comes to this. If you love cars and have a PS3, Gran Turismo is a no brainer. If you have an XBOX Forza is a no brainer. Both are must haves on each console.

If you're lucky enough to have both you can start to nitpick between the two. Forza has the better racing experience and GT is more sim/encyclopedic.

I do own both systems. That is why I have been having a hard time deciding between the two.

Thank you. This is the answer I was looking for.

does the 20million glitch still work?

I also have both systems, and I've owned every GT since GT1, and every Forza since 2, including forza 5 on xbox one. I agree with everything G-spec said. The UI is much improved over gt5, and i may even go as far to say as it is better than forza 5. The ui in forza 5 is visually more modern than gt, but is slightly more awkward and missing some crucial information compared to forza 4.

The arguments that gt fanboys have always touted are number of cars, number of tracks, and physics. The number of tracks I agree with. Sure, some tracks in gt are quite outdated visually, but I hope that gets fixed in GT7. As for the car count and physics, I have to go against what most reviews say. There are a bunch of cars that are repeat, since they count different trims and years as separate models. 35 different miatas is completely unnecessary, when 3 (NA, NB, NC) would suffice:

Who cares about a Lunar Rover when GT6 has >30 Miatas? (http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/who-cares-about-a-lunar-rover-when-gt6-has-30-miatas-1458631696)

There are also a bunch of weirdo cars and boring cars that nobody gives a shit about, while missing some pretty important cars. The modifications you can do is also very limited compared to forza. They all sound like vacuum cleaners, whether you're in a 1969 charger r/t or honda civic. The standard cars are also still missing interiors. I only drive in the interior view, so what's the point of having 1000+ cars when they look and sound the same when I'm driving? Not the case with forza 4 or 5. Every car sounds distinctively different and much closer to their real life counterpart. There are a few cars that you can tell what it is just by the sound without looking in forza. This is especially apparent when driving around at lower rpm. Adding modification like exhaust and striping out a car also makes the sound change drastically. The range of modification is also much more diverse. Although there is less car count in forza, I often find myself have at least 3 or 4 of the same cars having distinctively different styles. If you want to strip out a car and apply a livery to replicate a real life race car, you can do that. Or you can rice it up F&F style. Every single car in forza can be transformed into whatever you want.

As for physics, coming from the point of view of someone who is an engineer with experience in vehicle dynamics and suspension design, I think Forza is much more accurate. What a lot of the reviewers fail to understand is that unforgiving doesn't necessarily mean realistic. They added more body roll in gt6, but it just plain looks unrealistic and exaggerated. All the cars visually look under sprung with no progressiveness. The springs are an elastic device which responds proportionally with load. To see what I mean, just get in the interior view of the X-bow in stock form. You can visually see the spring binding under only a mild corner. I am sure they did not design that car to go through its full travel just making a gentle turn. What they also dont seem to understand is that body roll does not equal load transfer, something that they just don't have a grasp of in gt. Cars will feel completely dead. You can abruptly lift the throttle in a fwd with a big rear bar or pump the throttle in a fd with 400hp with no effect on yaw change. Needless to say this is with traction ctrl, stability assist, and abs all off. I have not yet tried forza 5 with a wheel so I can not make a fair comparison, but initial impression with the pad is good. Even forza 4 is much more accurate than any gt to date.

speaking of suspension. one thing that the gt series and many other racing games always fail to consider is the type of suspension used. in the game, every car seems to have double wishbone all around. eg. i can put camber and toe in the rear of a ae86 which irl has a solid rear axle. i wish they actually use suspension models based on the real car. mc strut, multilink, solid axle, torsion beam, etc

My biggest complaint is that they hardly put in any recent production cars in the game anymore.

I agree. I had to look really hard for new cars. I wonder if they were lazy or if we're going to get DLC's up the ying yang?

[SpeedStars]

∆iirc, we are getting the "vision GTs" for free, which are basically future concepts that auto manufacturers have yet to release

[R. Mutt]

After reading the reviews and feedback on forums, I don't see myself buying GT6. I'll wait for polyphony to wake up, that is, if they ever do.

[underscore]

Overall I'm loving this game, I have GT5 as well but never really played it since I kept waiting to build my G27 setup. I'm finding those cone hit challenges harder than the actual races though haha.

[a00755836]

what do you guys think about the handling gt5 vs gt6?

i think its so different. gt6 is alot harder. in gt5, i always run without any assistance. but in gt6, those supercars like 458 and aventador are SO hard to handle. i have to turn on skid recovery mode!

[G-spec]

^ you can notice the difference definitely, and it's for the better.... it's noticeably different and noticeably better, I really like driving normal cars a lot more now, equipping them with sports softs as opposed to maxing out all my cars with racing softs like in GT5..... gives me a really good sense of how the car handles in real life without that extra crazy grip that racing tires would give you...


I read Ronalds long reply about how GT doesn't hit some aspects of realism, and it makes sense, but at the same time there's only so much we can feel through force feedback of our steering wheels. And I know we've all seen throughout the years the products of GT's realism in the form of GT players turning into actual race car drivers, not to mention actual race car drivers have been using the game for years as a training manual and praising it for it's accurate portrayal of not just the cars but also the tracks/courses.
The one thing that's always impressed me and I don't think I've ever seen it done for any of GT's competition like Forza or any other console based "sim" and those would be those side by side real life and GT race video comparisons and I'm not talking about the visual comparisons to the course or car, I'm talking about LAP TIMES... just go on You Tube and type in "Gran Turismo Real Life lap times" and you'll find numerous videos of lap time comparisons to identical cars doing laps in both GT and real life and the lap times are identical down to the tenth of a second in a lot of cases.

That's really impressive to me, as it is to numerous professionals involved in that automotive racing industry that are aware of it and utilize it to their benefit, and so whenever I see Forza and GT fanboys arguing I always know there's a whole industry standing behind one of those simulations and has been for years, I'll trust the word of a pro anyday


EDIT: and I totally forgot to mention, I've seen this first hand, as a longtime friend of mine who has actually one of the top students/racers at Skip Barber school racing at Laguna Seca winning numerous races in the Formula Dodge division where numerous pros and potential pros were competing, me and this guy would sit and play Gran Turismo for hours and hours, and this helped him immensely on his road as a race car driver

here's a video of him in action at Laguna
