The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the world’s largest international gaming show, and it’s going to be a big one for Gran Turismo fans, according to statements made by Kazunori Yamauchi at last month’s Gran Turismo 6 reveal.
GTPlanet is attending E3, and will be providing extensive coverage and new gameplay footage of Gran Turismo 6 from the show throughout the week.
Sony’s presentation takes place on Monday, June 10, at 6:00PM Pacific Time in Los Angeles, California (click here to convert this to your local time), and will be available via live video stream in the player above. You can find alternative live streams at IGN, GameSpot, and PSU.
Gran Turismo 6 will also be playable by the public for the first time in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center at the Racer X Time Trial Competition, where the fastest participant will get a direct ticket to the U.S. GT Academy 2013 National Finals. Click here for more information on how to attend and try out the game’s new physics engine for yourself.
As always, join the discussion in our Gran Turismo 6 forum to chat with other fans about all the new announcements as they happen. Enjoy the show!

Sony launched a Nuke at Microsoft when they said that there will be no restrictions on used games.
I was really excited abiut the PS4 until I found out that PS Plus required to play PS4 games online. Really sucky move sony
Actually it’s smart i mean sure it suck that its no longer free to play online but on the bright side we will have better content better servers etc. An PS PLUS will be better an PS Plus will Cover PS3,PS4 an PSVita. I already payed for Xbox Live an where i won’t be paying for that anymore i have no issue with it if it’s only 60 bucks for a year.
Its actually only $49.99 a year.
Sooo… Still no exact release date for GT Academy or GT6 hhuummmm…

What an amazing event. So far I have to say: “Sony, you did it right!”
Well, PS4 is a black box, too… :lol:
I wonder if the car customization is so in depth that it allows us to use wind tunnels. Or maybe that’s just for show in the trailer. Would be pretty cool if it was that brawd.
Years ago, snickering, prior to PD stealing my idea of a driving sim, l had planned of a jig to be in the garage to build chassis and a wind tunnel facility to test the aerodynamics of boby design.
No GT for Vita :(
Ok just watch the clip again on GT site and yep. (Splat)
The delta is in the lead @ 47:25 … what’s the car waayyyy in the background? Ford GT?
47:20 you see the GT3 cars “warming the tyres”, just wanted to point it out. Also 47:40 with the RX7 TC showcasing the new physics engine, i know what i’m about the say may sound “childish” but i can’t wait to roll a car to see what happens, again that sounds “childish”.
I know what ya mean, realistic crash physics are important to me too
Not that it’s important to me, but if they continue with damage modeling, l won’t be satisfied with it until we get burned out hulks sitting at trackside and flaming Ricky Bobbys dancing around the wreckage.
Did anyone else notice that there were Porsches in the DriveClub trailer…? This doesn’t mean GT will have them… But…
You gotta wonder…
We can hope an pray but idk if PD will let us have them, I want the FPV’s back since Ford AU is going to kill them off in the near future.
They’re actually Ruf’s not Porsches. There’s a interview on YouTube where the developers of drive club talk about the car manufactures they’ve worked with, and they mention Ruf.
Just went back and saw the trailer (excited for the follow up to Arkham City too)! I really hope GT6 does have a livery maker, because I still maintain that the DeltaWing is deserving of a spec series and nothing more. A livery maker could make that dream come true, otherwise, actually it’ll happen either way, people will experience the problems with the DeltaWing first hand. In the trailer you could see how the top of the DeltaWing is below the windows of GT cars. So just a warning DeltaWing drivers, don’t get pissed when you get swatted off track while trying to overtake. We honestly couldn’t have see you.
GT3 car will be a riot, we finally got some European models! I’ve been saying that all the game needed for me was a DLC with European GT race cars. The GT cars I wanted were the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (check), the Audi R8 (check), the BMW Z4 (check), the Aston Martin Vantage, the McLaren MP4-12C, and of course the big dog, the Ferrari 458. 50% of my list is now crossed off! Only got 3 more and the game will have the GT racing that I feel is the heart of the Gran Turismo series, even if its face is a Nissan GT-R :P
If we get that livery maker then allow me the 1st to enter a 2-car GT team for a GT racing series! Seriously, lets make that happen. We’ll use GT3 cars to make a racing series that uses the FIA GT1 model. Each team enters 2 cars and each race is 1 hour and requires 1 pit stop that must be made during the pit window, which is open from the 25-35 minute mark. I can’t wait for GT6! But I’m kind if bummed we didn’t get a little more, like a new, real world location. I mean we already know Bathurst will be in it!
FINALLY got to the GT bit – Looks like rollovers are going to be much easier (and realistically so…)
If the sounds are the same as they are in trailer, I know MANY people will be quite pleased…
I’m wondering about the mountain-looking track is – it looks familiar yet not… New Eiger layout…?
Pikes Peak?
Looks great either way.
I hope the Cars sound like the trailer did. Anyone else feel that Forza looked like S**t compared to GT6.
Yeah. Weird, right?
It’s still early, but I was more impressed with the GT6 “trailer” in comparison to FM5.
It’s funny cus I always thought Forza looked like s**t compared to Gran Turismo
Amac500 Forza has always fallen short of GT but the fact there on a new console and there Graphics still look early last gen surprises me, It barely looks better than FM3. Drive Club caught my eye also that game is going to be a fun break when i’m not playing GT6, Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 or Beyond: Two Souls. I was planning to buy both game consoles but i’m really starting to dislike the XB1 or SpyBox One. Playstation is going to annihilate Microsoft. An if i don’t blow my money on the XB1 i can buy a second t500rs. I planned on Buying 2 PS4’s from the start an it would be nice to have 2 T500’s instead of one T500 an one G27 My g27 has seen better days.
I’m torn, personally. Forza definitely has better graphics; there’s really no contest on account of the difference in hardware. More polys, better textures, some special effects. The most striking thing for me was, after watching the Forza trailer, looking at the tires in the GT6 renders – they really look quite bad in comparison to the next-gen games. On the other hand, interiors are a much tougher call. Forza seems to have better textures than GT here, with stuff looking a bit too smooth and glossy in the latter, but GT still seems to have better detail in models. Or maybe it’s just that all of Forza was the McLaren, and I’m digging the older cars on offer by GT. Hard to say. Forza’s other graphical advantage (assuming, as was implied, that the demo was actually running on an Xbox One) is framerate. The biggest issue I’ve seen with GT6 (based on the videos of the Silverstone demo) is that the framerate is even worse that GT5, which was somewhat herky-jerky to begin with. Hopefully that gets smoothed out by release time, but tonight’s trailer sheds no further light on that issue.
On the other hand, in too many other ways Forza is shaping up to be more a GT5 competitor than a GT6 one – watching the GT6 trailer made me hyper-sensitized to suspension movement, and going back and watching the Forza trailer after that was a real come down in that department. Having dirt and tar splatter across the car can’t make up for that.
Likewise, the gameplay in Forza looked a bit…dumb. On the one hand, the AI was definitely livelier that GT’s AI, but that’s not particularly difficult to do. On the other hand, at several points it just looked horrendously awkward – the AI seemed to have an affinity for crashing more appropriate to Burnout than a racing sim – the Aston crash at the beginning looked entirely deliberate. “Drivetar” clearly also needs some work – the AI was constantly sawing back and forth on the steering like my grandma in her Corolla, and the fact that those jerky steering inputs didn’t cause any problems does not exactly make the physics model seem promising. Although it’s nice to see an AI that doesn’t mindlessly drone around the track on a fixed path like in GT, and Drivetar seems a much more competent player stand-in than B-Spec Bob, this feature is very dependent on the competence of other online drivers – in other words, get ready for lots of demolition derbies. Actually, seeing the crashes in the Forza trailer made me kind of agree with PD’s position on damage modelling – racing isn’t about crashing, so why model it?
Leaving aside Forza for a moment (since I don’t really plan on buying it – MS will need a much more compelling case to get me to plunk half a grand on a console) GT6 really looks great, although it is a bit early to call it. Remember that the rollover potential implied in this trailer was also implied in trailers, demos (remember the lady at TGS rolling the Fiat 500 twice? Ever do that in the actual game?), and even the opening movie of GT5, although it never really materialized. Still, the suspension modeling looks pretty great – it’s a deficiency I never really noticed in GT5, but it’s apparent that it’s really improved in GT6 – just watch the wheels on the GT-R at the Nurburgring. Graphics on the cars have improved notably, but it’s hard to say, because we are dealing with a pre-rendered trailer. Environments do seem to have more depth, though, and those improvements will probably stick. I’d mostly like to see some gameplay on a dynamically lit track, though, since shadows (and particularly dynamic shadows) were something of a blocky mess in GT5, and are probably the biggest mark against the game graphically, standard cars notwithstanding.
Amen KYD302! I’m exactly the same as you only I won’t be able to purchase the PS4 right away, but Microsoft torpedoed its and may as well be dead in the water.
Eurocacanard, Forza has better graphics??? I don’t car about the engine it’s on or the limitations of the system. If we are comparing graphics it’s on the eye ball test and Gran Turismo wins that by a country mile. If you look at Gran Turismo you see a road and terrain that you could put side-by-side with the real image and have to flip a coin to tell which one is real. The cars in Gran Turismo, and by cars I mean premium cars, look very real, and although Forza’s look better, it’s still missing something. That thing has got to be the surroundings. All the trailers the graphics still look like video games, the lightening looks wrong to me, and the textures aren’t good. There is no way Forza has better graphics, all those special effects you are seeing or whatever are arcade-ish. I’m a huge car and motorsport enthusiast and when I’m watching cars going around a track on TV and in real life, Gran Turismo gives me the same thing. The trailer was all arcade like for Forza. All the cameras were quick jumps and zooms and weird angles that were all about upbeat intensity. The Gran Turismo trailers focused on realism and making it look real, not intense. That approach of how they are marketing their games should tell you all you need to know about how they are going about making their games. What the true test will be is when the games are released and we can compact models of modern Le Mans cars around La Sarthe at different times of day. The real world footage is easy to find on YouTube. For F4 and GT5, I watched real world onboards from the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP at Le Mans and then watched onboards and then watched the onboards from each game. With GT5, all the dimensions were right for the onboard and it felt like it did in the real world cameras, while F4 was like looking down a runway to the windshield. Further more, in GT5, all the dimensions of the track were 100% perfect. You could watch the braking points in YouTube of the track and emulate them perfectly in the game, but you could not due that with F4. This is much longer then I thought it would be and is intact the longest paragraph ever, but bottom line is the eye ball test and Gran Turismo is dominating Forza.
FINAL… FANTASY… 15!!!!!!!!
Sorry, GTP is not the place, but still… Can’t Wait!!!
Hahaha you know how many times ive had to hold myself back from sending a post that has nothing to do with GT lol
Maybe for one night only lol
i was actually expecting some more information about GT6 than just a trailer! amazing trailer though….
Oh d**n it, I thought this started at 10 PM New York Time, not 9. Guess I missed it.
You missed the start, but it’s still going.
Did anyone else peep the Zagato Alfa Romeo TZ3 halfway through the trailer though…….its right after the part where they show the BMW Z4 GT3 at Willow, then they show the zagato at Willow then the full track shot
GT6 has the Z4 GT3 and DRIVE CLUB HAS PORSCHE?!?!?! It looks like a RUF but I think I saw a Porsche Carrera GT..
Sure it wasnt the RUF CTR3? I didn’t see the trailer, but that’s probably what it was.
Sorry, I’ve just now tuned in to the livestream.
Have they shown GT6 yet?
Yup but they have trailer on IGN
Drat. :(
Crap! How does it look like?1 >:(
PS4 & XBox One both look like typical cable box type desins. They look so similar now! & what happened to the accents from the PS4 Teaser Reveal? I didn’t recognize anything from it.
I think the design is beautiful.
The Xbox One is literally a big useless box, while the PS4 actually shows design
Amen pepeferrari!
The xbox one looks like a freaking “VCR” while the playstation has a great look to it. Ps4 is not that awesome looking from the ps3 launch first gen but still way better than xbox one vcr look lol.
Wondering if more info will be available at the booth later on in the evening or in the week? We all know if its Nissan its going to be in the game so the Deltawing almost not a surprise but, Wow I for one cant wait to drive it.
Nissan has split ways with AAR, it’s now actually the Panoz DeltaWing, and its now actually about to be a coupe that is easily the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Oh, and the coupe has no mirrors mounted on it, lol, but George Jetson likes it.
GT6 looked mind blowing. Dat new physics and graphics! O.O
Sony SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
+1
I gotta say, the instability as the car started losing control & the beginning of that roll over looked NICE!
That’s Willow Springs!
That’s what I thought!
That mountain track looks amazing too,
Improved eiger norwand?
It incorporates PART of Eiger Nordwand! If you go into GT5, go to Eiger short track, do a 1 lap ‘race’, then replay it, you can use photo mode on the top section near the ‘town’. Once in photo mode, move the camera so that the ‘town’ is on your left! Look up a little and you will see, in the distance, a section of track that you think could have been used in the game. Well, it’s being used in GT6 now! This area is called Matterhorn!!!
Oh, I am SO looking forward to this!!!!!
The PS4!! It’s… a box hhahahha… with a bit squeeze to the side :p
Michael lynton Soul Caliber entrance music??!! O_o
One new course is Willow Springs Motorsports Park. The aerial shot of that one track shows it.
Is that is?
GT3 and GT4 on the screens. Will this be downloadable onto PS4?
So XBOX AND PS4 look like bigger Wii. Looks like the old school Marantz and Bang & Olofson receivers.
Probably. Gaikai is responsible for the backwards compatibility.
deltawing! awesome looking mountain course(s?) too
It looked like another layout of Eiger to me.
@doodle: No it wasn’t Eiger, the environment looked like it, but I can say it wasn’t Eiger. Also looked a bit like Cape Ring, but I don’t think it is. Most likely a new track as well.
Actually it is. At 47:36 you can see the Eiger logo.
the one at 48:55 right at the end looks beautiful too
@doodle: I can’t rewind since I’m not able to watch it live on YouTube. I haven’t seen the logo, but the track doesn’t look like one of the layouts which already are in GT5. So you might be right that it’s Eiger, but it must be a new layout.
The sound in the new trailer was music to my ears that pop from the Audi was eargasmic
yes delta wing and z4, willow springs and new mountain track? alot more than i expected so far, pleasantly suprised
Wow BMW Z3 GT3 niceeeee.
F**k yeah, I was so happy to see yet another GT3 car :D
Woooooow NEW GT6 Trailer!!! Please put Nissan DeltaWing in July Demo :)
BMW Z4 GT3 and the Delta Wing! :D
Just saw: Nissan delta wing, BMW z4 gt3 are shown…
Very very nice demo GT6…
Super ready to play this like tomorrow!
THE Z4! YES YES YES!!!!
im just going to rewind back and fourth on the gt6 content. too epic
Willow Springs Raceway!!!
Love that track!
Starte!!!
I bet the delay was caused by Polyphony Digital
YAY…………!!!!!!!!!!!
it’s gonna start in 1 min lol
one minute
may be E3 is having a power cut?
Damn Soony lol
Has it started, or is it just me?
They showed a very short GT Academy Video and now… This, more too come?? It is not just you hawkeye!
Hurry up with the SCEA conference, ME WANT GRAN TURISMO 6 NAO! *pouty baby face*
Sony is late as usual… :| …
I’m just being simple with Doritos, Cheetos and my Iced tea :D
Too bad my comupter won’t let me watch! Oh well. Fast N Loud season premiere just started so I’m set
What great timing, Pizza just arrived. To get my couch Potato on.
Let the games begin!
GT ACADEMY CLIP! D:
UNO MINUTO
Cold Pizza Leftovers___ CHECK!
Ciggies_____________ CHECK!
Iced Coffee_________ CHECK!
I’M SET…
set for an awful disease or two…
Yeah, I know, it’s not healthy…!
Who are you, my mother? (lol)
hahaha yes. might have to put you in the corner if you keep ingesting the toxicity.. of our City..
ERR MAH GERD PS4 IN 7 MINUTES
so excited
Nah your tripping dude
My body is ready.
Hopefully it will be an epic assault on both mind and body.
Watching all these amazing racing games videos (sims and arcades) that are popping up from E3 running on next gen platform makes me wonder what Gran Turismo 7 will look like on the PS4 in 2 or 3 years time… May Kaz make good use of this white canvas. Meanwhile I’ll be happily playing GT6 from day 1.
Almost time..
I foresee this becoming the next 1000+ Comment Post, for better or worse..
let it be for better :)
Let it be for beer!
tt
Just got home from work & watched the EA conference for Need For Speed the Movie. Long story short, a Mclaren P1 gets destroyed. Not Cool EA.
Just a replica don’t worry. :)
What is not cool is the P1 in the Forza 5 presentation.
At work ill catch it on Youtube! Don’t we get our GT6 demo tomorrow anyways?
No, the demo comes out in July.
8pm for me i’ll be watching but i dono if it will be on here yet
Doh… It will be 2 AM for me :P I’ll watch next day.
exciting stuff! i hope we hear more about the GPS track making system, thats gotta be a big selling point for them
if PD fail to deliver we still have drive club to look for :)
haha
Yes, but Drive Club is for PS4 and looks totally diferent than Gran Turismo.
Only PS4, MGS5 & GT6
And next MGO”Metal Gear Online” best online game ever on ps3.
don’t bet on it MGSV is on X1 :(
^ Not excatly. ;)
Holy crap MGS5! That’s probably the only franchise besides GT that keeps me in the videogame thing.
I’m keeping my expectations looooow.
Smart person you. If your lucky, you’ll be pleasantly surprise if not disapointment will be low.
+1
Seeing as how Kaz said we’ll be getting more information as the months go on, it definitely is best to temper our expectations.
I hope that PD can wow the crowd more than what Turn 10 did with its presentation.
I’m sure of that, actually. :D
They better show a video clip of Bathurst featuring cars that we haven’t seen before :)
A J See now your getting me excited..
@Tombrady Really? Forza’s Ai was worse than GT5’s? Lolllllll Forza has had the best AI of any racegame on console ever since FM2
The AI is good but not the BEST
In FM AI bad and stupid youtube: fm vs gt5 AI
DUH!!! I’m Sleeping hehe – Ahh well – i’m sure i will see it all later here on GTplanet or YT ;)
3:00AM my local time. I ahve to wait until tomorrow.
The only good thing in Forza’s presentation is that they’re trying to improve AI. Who knows if it will work but god knows they need it. Forza 4 had the least challenging and terrible AI I’ve ever raced against, even worse than GT5 or the newest slew of codemasters games like Grid 2 or F1 2012. The graphics though looked terrible. I’ve never seen such an exaggeration of glare, and unrealistic lighting. And I thought BF3 had a lot of glare, LOL not even close to that bad. Plus, if the trailer was created from actual gameplay, the physics look even worse, even more forgiving and lifeless than Forza 4. Disappointing considering the obvious strides GT6 has made
are you calling Codemasters A.I. bad? Dirt2, GRID, and F1 2012 all have some of the best A.I. I’ve ever raced against- and I’ve been playing all sorts of racing games, to a pretty fair extent, since the mid-80’s. I personally think Monster Truck Madness by Terminal Reality had it pretty good in 1996, lol.
Seriously though, Codies has some great A.I. Fast, aggressive, varied, reactive, mildly intelligent with memory of your transgressions, they run racing lines, apply throttle and brake like a darn driver, make mistakes which are fantastic to watch, etc etc..
@TomBrady You just HAVE to bring up Forza did you….
@TomBrady: Save your drivel until the game is out at least. You’re going to run out of things to bash if you start now.
Very true researchALLwars, Codemasters can really make fantastic AI it´s one of the things i like the most about them, like for example, if you start beeig agressive, they will start beeing agressive too, it´s just bad, not many more games have such a fantastic AI.
F1 2012 doesn’t bro. Grid and Dirt does for sure, some of the best AI ever. As well as F1 2010. But 2012 is terrible. I was just playing earlier and one of the AI pretty much parked on the apex. Never seen that bad kind of early braking, not even in GT5. Grid 2 has that early braking problem even worse, PLUS rubber banding like crazy.
Codies used to have incredible AI, but they’ve had some of the worse I’ve seen as of late.
@Toko It is kind of relevant. We all watched the conference right? Like usual with forza, super impressed with their car list and sound, unimpressed by the rest.
@muonilla Don’t speak to me. I remember who you are. The biggest GT basher on GTPlanet. You’re the last person that should be telling anyone not to bash something. And shouldn’t you be playing Forza? You sure love it like a soul mate. Get off GTP and go play it instead of talking about it 24/7
True, the AI in some of the most recent Codemasters games seem to be getting worst, but i´m kinda liking the AI in GRID2.
HAHA It’s the same time here in my area Vancouver, Canada :D
This is going to be a long day. I just hope they give us a sneak peak on that “fully customizing your car” that Yamauchi San mentioned. As long as each car has a good amount of DECENT looking body kits, much more wheels and just maybe other parts, I will be very happy.
GT5’s customizing was actually very nice, although limited. And most of the kits were a bit exaggerated to my taste. I hope you can individually choose to replace the exhaust tip this time.
Other than that, I want to see how much Standards have improved, now that they can be used as a Premium, such as in Photo Travel and with more customizing options (as Kazunori hinted).
Let’s just hope they Yamauchi San led us in the right direction and not gave us only half of the truth.
I CAN’T WAIT!
My only worry is about the immaturity that some bad apples might revel in, creating penises on their cars and whatnot.
Like most gamers, I can deal with seeing a cartoon member on a car if that means that I can customize my own car to my hearts content.
Husky that would be indeed be amazing if there was a ground breaking GT reveal that would get into detail. Have you by chance seen the full length 15yrs. of GT video? If not you should check it out. Kaz shows off at least 20 different wheel options as well as 20 or more wing options.
@masterrawad HAHA! Well, that would be annoying, but unfortunately it can’t be avoided since there are a lot of people who think with their penises rather than their brains. But games like Mod Nation Racers and Little Big Planet dealt with it pretty efficiently. I never really encountered much offensive player-created content there, so PD could implement that report system. This is if we get a livery creator.
@tparl103 I did watch the full video. There were indeed a couple of new wheels there. Some were repeated though, if you watch close. Still, I see a couple of vintage wheels for American and Japanese vehicles, as well as modern racing wheels. I am quite excited, I must admit.
Masterrawad, when PD talks about costumizing the cars, i don´t think they´ll put a livery editor option, at least i hope not, but you´re true if they do, the imaturity in some players liveries will be a concern…
Immaturity in player-created content is a very small concern… I don’t see why people are making a big deal out of it, considering how little it will affect them, and how much verbal immaturity is thrown around in online lobbies.
cool, local California time. I might be out fishing if not I’ll watch it.
2 AM GMT
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE F’ING ME!!!
-.-
And it’ll be 3am in France. And 4am and 5am and 6am elsewhere. Get over it, not everyone lives in the same time zone as you.
Get over telling people to get over it.
Well, it’s in California… Do you expect them to hold a presentation at 2 A.M. in THEIR time zone? No matter what you do, SOMEONE will have to deal with ti being on the other side of the earth.
This age verification thing won’t work?? It won’t let me change any dates..
It also says 7 hours until live feed begins??
Oh, I got working now… I used the FORCE!!
Just watched the Forza5 E3 presentation it was pretty nice. Looking forward to Sony tonight lets hope that all the teasing over. I must say that these are good times for sim race fans.
Hehe, the only thing I really took away from it is that griefers will now be able to train a driver to crash into you while they go eat dinner, lol. Still waiting for more substance and less hype before I’ll get too excited.
“Still waiting for more substance and less hype before I’ll get too excited.”
You can say that again. I expected more than what they showed which was a more advanced version of B-Spec and McLaren!!!! :\
I’ll be disappointed if there isn’t at least more than three times the amount of information/gameplay that was shown of FM5. More than half of the damn presentation was about McLaren.
Is ir just me, or does that drivatar thing FM5 has sound alot like the real human drama that Kaz was talking about awhile ago?
@ Hobanator… Yes, yes it does.
@ another_jakhole… Completely agree… Lotsa of rendering and all McLaren. Expected to see more.. Cpl tracks.. 5-10cars.
Interestingly, T10’s FM5 forum is DEAD, except for a few complaints about console price, and a few threads about the drivatars. They did just go through and lock a bunch of posts though. Hopefully Sony’s briefing is more interesting.
Its like some twisted game of poker where nobody really want to show there hand to soon.
Plus isn’t it hilarious hearing forza talk about “innovation”? LOL the biggest copy cat franchise ever in gaming, claiming to be innovative? Hilarious.
Well, when the major point of your presentation is a feature that nobody else is using….
HAHA! Forza copied B-Spec? Great job on copying a feature that the vast majority never cared about. The funny thing is that I’m sure GT6 will get of B-Spec completely.
A-Spec Level 40 And proud of it after years of working hard for it. B-Spec Level 0 since day one and damn proud of it.
Nah, they took the drivatar from FM1 (more or less conceptually a b-spec copy, yes), and replaced all the AI with Drivatars. Now the game tracks everything you do, uses that data to “train” a drivatar, takes everyone’s drivatar to a database, and then injects those drivatars into everybody’s game, refreshing the list every time people log on. You race against those, instead of the standard pre-made AI. Supposed to make for a widely ranged pool of competition, with selectable and varied skill, that behaves “human” like the people that “trained” them.
If Gran Turismo downloaded everyone’s B-spec drivers, and then loaded them into GT5 has a replacement for the AI they use now, then it would be copying. It would also require B-spec bob to be a fair bit more advanced than it is, and capable of copying it’s creator’s driving, of course.
Judging from some of the troll baiting I’ve seen today, the fanboys are having a huge problem dealing with this. It’s been a very entertaining day.
Jordan, I hope you repeat your smart play which you used after the 15-year GT anniversary event: Collect a ton of info, clips, etc. and slowly release it using multiple articles over several days/weeks…
Yeah.. Do it.
I don’t think he needs to do that. There’s going to be a demo on the floor, the Racer X competition, and I would hope that he does an interview with Kaz (which would be a huge bummer if isn’t given a chance).
I actually harbor no desire for an E3 Kaz interview. What do those Kaz interviews really get us? A bit of hilarity, some disappointment, and a whole lot of speculation that usually goes nowhere. Never does any substantial, relevant, game-changing information come out of those debacles. (No offense to Jordan there- its just that Kaz is a total pod)
Maybe information about what they’ve been doing these past 2.5 years. You can’t expect a world of information, but it’s communication nonetheless. Regarding the speculation and irrelevancy? of Kaz’s answers, I’m not even going there. That was sooooo 3-6 years ago.
I agree with Kaz interview answers (the answers, not the actual interview) being totally cryptic and speculative. It seems that he either gives bad information on purpose or just eludes to something that will never see the light of day (remember what he said about DLC in GT5?).
True about the DLC. But he never stated that we will for sure be getting DLC continuously every two months. We DID get DLC for six months inconsistently and then some free stuff.
November 2011 –
“Notably, he offers a rough timeline of how often we can expect new content to be introduced in Gran Turismo 5:
‘I think that will include cars and trucks that we’ll be releasing maybe once every two months or so from here on out. What we do from here on is also really dependent on the reaction of the users to this first DLC that we just released because this is the first one.”
Considering various factors, he wasn’t giving bad information or lying about it. People first said they don’t want to pay for a bunch of RM’d cars that are in the game already, then they said it was all too expensive for the value of the content being sold, THEN people wanted everything sold individually, THENNNN people were saying $1-2 per car or $5-6 USD per track was too expensive considering the amount of content that was already in the game.
All of that after consistently receiving free updates for more or less two years after the game released, it just seems like there’s no give/leeway when it comes to what the GT5 consumers/players were asking for. We’re lucky they had the opportunity to enhance the Standards’ visually (and I’m not talking about the wheels which came in an update a year later). It’s not copy/paste kind of work.
Nicely put all in one place AJ – shame that so many have chosen to ignore that info previously and just interpret it how they wanted to instead.
So Indianapolis is 9pm airtime
Sweet! For some reason I thought Sony’s presentation was tomorrow and I’d either miss it while at work or have to take more vacation time. 7pm tonight can’t come fast enough :-)
Oops 8pm…
It will be 9pm for me in Indy. However, I will be working tonight at that time.
Is there any news about when we can download a demo yet?
Noooooo! I’ll be in class during Sony’s presentation.
Does anyone know when the Microsoft/Xbone conference starts?
9:30 Am. Today. It’s on Spike TV.
Xbone, I like that
Thanks jhwang
Does any one now what channel this will be on and what time it will come on the east coast I live in North Carolina
It said spike tv
It starts on Tuesday and ends on Thursday. They said 5 pm on tues
It’s on Spike starting at 9am PT. I have it set to record E3 (except the xbox)
Or you could just watch via the handy link above and use the time calculator provided, if that isn’t too much trouble…
Cool.
Oh thanks :)
6 p.m. – easy viewing for me.
I was hoping to go tis year, but tickets were already sold out about 5-6 moths in advance… XD
I kinda wish E3 wasn’t going one while school is still in session – and during finals week at that. I can get to Cali by car if need be, but, I mean, nit while schools going on…
Grades > Gran Turismo… :(
I know that feel, uni has started for me and by the time E3 starts, it’s like an hour after lunchtime
I gotta prepare a transcription of 120 minutes of news from BBC – for tomorrow. Or else I’m gonna have to take two exams in September rather than this week.
So, what are your problems, you said…?
c:
All sorts of typos here… iPad + 2 A.M. = bad combo.
I’ve got a bunch of final exams and papers to write and prepare for, but I’m only a Sophomore in High School – It’s gonna get tougher for me, I’m sure!
I’m in Washington, so going to California isn’t really an option during the school year, ESPECIALLY during finals week… All I was really getting at was that I wish E3 was just 2-3 weeks later. But then again, there’s PAX Prime…
2am here. So will be up early tueday morning to catch some hi lights before I got I work.
Glad you’re doing coverage here. Didn’t fancy staying up till 2am to watch the Sony one.
4:00 am for me
That’ll be 02:00 for me apparently – ah well, I can always watch it next day.
Thanks Jordan – appreciate the time converter too :)
YES!! Today is gonna be an exciting day for us GT fans! :D
I can’t f**king wait for more of GT6 screenshots & video footage :D
Thanks Jordan. ;)
