Can't wait

hope that 1200 includes significantly more "premium" cars. what a joke it was to have to wait years and years for GT5 and finding many of the cars i wanted to race were "standard" bullshit.

and plz to do a career mode like forza's where I don't have to buy a car for every damn event and can use 1 car multiple times.

[Edited on May 15, 2013 at 6:13 PM. Reason : also plz to have Porsche, kk thx.]

Seems like I played this same game back in 2001....

It's just like the Madden series. Same game, new players, new stats.

5/15/2013 7:16:22 PM

well dur, it's car racing. So like football the overall premise is the same. however:

-7 new race tracks, including Silverstone
-brand new physics engine, i.e. more realistic car handling (as I already stated).
-remodeled tire wearing characteristics, with consultation done by Yokohama.

And more.

In trying to be a simulator, theyve taken a lot of the fun out of the games. I loved GT1&2, but its been all downhill since from a gameplay perspective

5/17/2013 3:19:46 PM

hope they get the sound right this time

and give me back a damn 89-93 180sx
or heck, how about a 240sx

not empty quoting

the last time this game was fun was Gt3. now it's an enthusiast's set piece.

5/17/2013 10:41:07 PM

and not a very good one at that

I mean, it's a nice game

but I had tons more fun playing iracing

yea, it looked like shit, but it was far more realistic and difficult...but actual felt like i was tied to the car much more than anything else

5/17/2013 10:52:45 PM

GT5 and GT4 were pretty decent. I've played the hell out of both. Though I do wish they would have more of the race variants and more open wheel cars. That or allow more cars to be 'racemodded'.

5/20/2013 3:27:28 AM

I may have pre-ordered this . . . . Got the 'best' preorder deal via gamestop (something like 25 cars included). These cars will not be available outside of the pack.

12/2/2013 11:29:35 AM

I've got it pre-ordered through Amazon.

Anyone else excited about the GPS Track Creator?? It may be the only way we'll ever get tracks like VIR in GT6

12/3/2013 2:53:05 PM

I just hope this game doesn't have microtransactions. If it doesn't I want it to out sale forza so Turn 10 can get their heads out their asses. I don't on anything made by sony so I won't be buying it

12/3/2013 6:08:14 PM

^^yeah I'm excited about that feature.

Pre-ordered with GameStop, can't wait for Friday

12/4/2013 9:51:40 AM

Are you really telling me that this isn't coming out on the PS4 and the PS4 that I just bought can't play it...

12/4/2013 8:14:00 PM

^ yes, but you get GT7 when it comes out 2014/2015!

12/5/2013 12:23:49 AM

^^This has been widely known for over a year. So...yeah.

12/5/2013 4:25:05 PM

It will have some DLC but not much, GT5 had about $35 worth over it's entire lifetime? This is probably a over estimate.

I'd expect more or less the same. Only a few of these where truly valuable updates though.Some of the cars you could get in game anyways.

"I want it to out sale forza"

It almost certainly will, considering there are 80 million PS3s and under 2 million XB1s.

And so it starts

I've been searching and can't find any specifics on the cars. Are these cars ported from gt4/gt5 or are the all recreated?

12/7/2013 10:34:46 AM

How are the loading times? I didn't play GT5 much because the loading times between menus and races were insane, it was a test of patience anytime I did anything.

12/7/2013 12:07:17 PM

^how long did you play GT5? They had a pretty big update at one point that greatly reduced loading times (though I admit even then it would still get hung up some times and drive me nuts).

I installed GT6 Saturday (there's already a 1.2 gig patch to download) but haven't played it yet. Ironically, on Sunday I started the final 24 hour race in GT5. Could take a bit to finish

12/9/2013 8:31:31 AM

I have mixed feelings about this game. Here are my likes and gripes being about 1/2 thru the "A-spec" mode*:

+ The menu layout and load times are a vast improvement over GT5.
+ Night driving looks pretty cool
+ A few specific features appear in the tuning menus for certain cars, like DCCD for STI's and
Active Yaw Control for Evos.
+ I like the concept of the Stockyard
+ Got rid of the "driver level thing" and replaced it with mandatory license tests, which I don't mind being a long-time GT player. It's nice that each license requires just 5 races instead of 10-15.
+ New tracks (Brands hatch) are beautiful

- They consolidated the Standard/Premium cars into the car dealerships. This creates 2 problems:
a. Navigating the Dealership is cumbersome as you have to go through pages and pages of Skylines when browsing Nissan's cars, etc.
b. The prices for Standard cars are inflated higher than what you would have paid for them in the GT5 Used Car Lot.
- Standard cars still look like ass. I want to say that they added interiors to some of the Standard cars in dash view, but they definitely don't look as good as some of the more featured premium cars, and there are still cars out there that have absolutely no dashboard (all blacked out).
- On the subject of cars, there are so many cars missing in this game. How about the RUF equivalents for the 997 and Caymans (since Porsches are missing)? What about various generations of German cars (E30 M3, E36). Non-high-level-trim cars like WRX's, Lancers, Supra non-turbo, etc. I mean, they've got every iteration of Skyline, but can't throw in a few extra models like the 335i, 7-series, etc?
- Way too many races have "Time Challenges", that basically means that you have to attempt them a dozen times to gold. I don't have a problem with this for the License tests, but for the special events and extra races, why put that restriction there?
- So many of the races require Sports-Hard tires which are shitty and practically undriveable on some cars.
- You are still forced to collect Paint Items before painting a car a certain color. I don't get how anyone at Polyphony thinks this is a great feature
- Adjusting Power Limiter/Downforce/Weight ballast doesn't "live" update your PP points in the Tuning menu, as it did in GT5. Minor nitpick.
- Special Events - in GT5 you could do NASCAR, Rally, AMG driving school, and earn massive cash quickly early on. All you get in GT6 (so far) is the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which as mentioned, is nothing but Time Challenges, and the payouts for those races are pretty shitty.

All that being said, it is still fun to play but it basically has the same ol' Gran Turismo feel. There isn't anything that's groundbreaking or innovative. The Lunar Missions are interesting at first but get boring fast. There's still a few features that got left out, particularly the GPS Track Creator, which I'm mostly excited about.

* B-spec isn't even available yet, supposedly coming in a later update.

I wish forza had the gt car library.

I like the ability to have ugly old obscure shit too.

12/10/2013 3:58:11 PM

^^I'm a bit surprised that you didn't mention, not even once, the superior driving dynamics in GT6. The car's squat and dive and lean in turns way more than before - much more realistic. The tire modeling has also been redone and the tire display (while driving) is way more informative than before.

The standard cars mixed in with the premium cars does bother me, but I probably prefer it to having to "wait" for a car to show up in the UCD like in GT5. I agree with you on cars being left out. It makes no sense to have 30+ varieties of Miatas and Skylines, and around 15 S2000s, but none of those BMWs or RUFs you mentioned, or cars like the Pontiac Solstice, 2nd Gen Integra GS-R (XSi in JDM), 1st gen MR2, etc etc. I am pretty pumped for the additional Ferraris that were added, especially the 288 GTO

And I'm sure that once the online Seasonal Events start up getting money won't be much of a problem.

Latest seasonal race features the BMW M4. One lap around the Nurburgring GP/F track and you get the car as a prize.

12/13/2013 8:56:12 AM

Yep, got it yesterday. Its shitty that its a standard car & can't be modded.

12/13/2013 5:26:36 PM

It wasn't difficult. I expect to see more of these as promos for car releases by companies.

12/16/2013 10:20:14 AM

^^That should change. Already been an update to add the car's full interior.

12/16/2013 10:50:45 AM

I'm ok with say 2-3 examples from each generation of Miata/Skyline/S2000/rx7/8/3000GT/FTO/Evo's/etc. They could cut down on these by 1/2 and add some older/newer historic cars.

12/16/2013 4:12:00 PM

Suggestions for an LMP or GT500 car? So far I've been using the AMG VisionGT for all 600+ PP races but I'm finding its not enough to hang with the Le Mans cars.

12/17/2013 2:14:23 PM

Apart from something that isn't a LMP? That's going to be hard in a street car.

As far as LMP's go, I haven't driven any of them in GT6 yet, but in 5 the 908's and Minolta were considered the 'better' ones. Though all are relatively even. Some of the GTR cars can hang depending on the race difficulty.

For GT500, the Nomad seemed to work well for me in gt5

12/17/2013 3:20:32 PM

Damn, I haven't gotten close to that far yet

Mod Note: Fixed

12/17/2013 7:48:44 PM

I've been playing iRacing too much, because GT6 feels like crap. Its the same damn game as GT5. I feel sort of ripped off.

It has added features, more kickass tracks and more cars. It's not a quantum leap forward but it's an improvement. Even viewed as an "extension" or expansion pack of GT5 I'm still happy with this game.

12/18/2013 8:38:13 AM

My gf gave me this game as an early Christmas present. I love it. Wish I could import my cars from GT 5 though.

12/21/2013 7:25:01 PM

played a few hours worth over the holidays at my bro-in-law's place and I just wanted to say...

Mt Panorama sucks!

12/31/2013 2:56:56 PM

That's a tricky course.

1/5/2014 10:11:53 AM

the Red Bull X2014 standard race still hasn't opened up yet. It was supposed to on 1/1/14
