On January 8th, WRS Online will return from our holiday break, hosting our third “Unofficial” online race event of GT6. We’ll go back to an old favorite from GT5, with “Mountaineering V2.0“. The races are open to anyone participating in the GTP_Registry GT6 Qualifier (And those who are on the GT5 Registry).
This is it ladies and gentlemen, the final Weekly Rewind of 2013! Where has the time gone, it seems like just last week I was telling you all about how much evolution the Rewind would undergo during the 52 weeks that comprise 2013, and now here we are the final Rewind of the year. Time flies when you’re having fun is what they say.
Gran Turismo 6 is currently on sale for $39.99 at Amazon and Gamestop, saving you $20 off the regular price. Great for those who put off the game previously, or were waiting for a price drop.
In a notice made by PlayStation UK, it has been revealed that Sony will cease support for Gran Turismo 5. Worldwide online functionality will no longer be available from May 20th, 2014. The announcement also includes server termination dates of other long-running PS3 titles:
Gran Turismo 6 has been on store shelves and in many of our homes for the past three weeks now, and it has evolved quite a bit since its vanilla release. We’ve gone from version 1.00 to 1.01 on release day, the inclusion of the BMW M4 Coupé, and most recently update 1.02 which brought together a slew of improvements and refinements to the game’s character, as well as Mario Andretti’s 1948 Hudson, a car Mario was reunited with courtesy of the “First Love” campaign.
Mario Andretti’s 1948 Hudson is now available in Gran Turismo 6, giving players firsthand experience with the car responsible for kicking off Mario Andretti’s racing career.
The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of five expert level racing events exclusive to high performance supercars from all over the world with no more than 620PP and no better than Sports/Soft compounds or less.
The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 6, featuring two new time trial events exclusive to the Alfa Romeo Mito and the 15th Anniversary cars.
Gran Turismo 6 receives its first update outside the initial day one release patch. Weighing in at 1.2 GBs, this patch adds the Red Bull X Challenge allowing players to try out the newest Red Bull X concepts created in collaboration with F1 designer Adrian Newey. As opposed to the single concept presented in yearly updates through out GT5’s lifespan, we now get the Red Bull ‘X’ cars in three distinct flavors: X2014 Junior, X2014 Standard and X2014 Fancar. A surprising addition is the new Red Bull Racing Kart, which features design cues from its big brother prototypes.
12 Finalists out of 400,000 entrants got the chance to go to Silverstone to prove themselves in Racecamp, now one of them has turned a far off dream into reality.
Since the launch of GT6, a team of mechanics has been re-building Mario Andretti’s first race car, a 1948 Hudson, as part of the game’s “First Love” campaign.
It’s always great to see how Polyphony Digital’s virtual world compares to the real thing, and this split-screen tour of Brands Hatch by YouTuber DigiProst is certainly no exception.
Gran Turismo 6 is finally here! And there were no delays! This is amazing. Now that everyone’s had their initial share of GT6 fun, we invite you download this latest episode of RPS to listen to our take on the newest title in the Gran Turismo franchise. It’s a long one! So don’t try to listen to it in parts. Put it on during commutes, while you’re playing the game, or even to tune out from arguments.
If you’ve been playing GT6 since version 1.01 was launched on December 5th, you might have noticed something – changes to the software are being pushed out every few days in minor updates, released quietly without online service downtime or an official list of documented changes.
Gran Turismo 6 is finally here and the one thing that needs to be pointed out right away is the fact that GT6 is the first full-length entry in the franchise to be released on time without any form of delay or setback. Could this be a sign of things to come? We can only hope!
The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of two racing events exclusive to racing cars with no more than 700PP and no better than Racing/Hard compounds or less for this week’s time trial, and no tuning restrictions for this week’s drift trial.
