In Japan, GT86 RC is sold for 1.99 million yen. The GPS Visualizer features I think is mainly a Toyota effort with assistance from PD :), at least that's how I see it.

This is a different RC though. Not that super base model one, the one they're talking about in the article is like the actual Race Car it seems like.

PD Employee: So my buddy Paul has access to Fuji, has a Toyota, GT6, and want to see his runs in game. Can we do this?

Kaz: EVERYONE STOP WITH ZAHARA AND COURSE MAKER! WE NEED TO HELP PAUL!

If PD use this as a future tool to perfect physics, AI, etc fair play to them but else that's just a waste of time and effort for something so useless to 99% of users.

Yup.

I wish PD could make me regret insulting them... But still no. :grumpy:
 
Sounds like the new firmware is going to dissapoint. . .
I dont know, Kaz. It sounds like you're being a corporate sellout.
There, I said it!
In partnership with Toyota.
In partnership with Nissan.
In partnership with Mercedes.
etc etc. blah blah.
How does that get us B spec mode? Or a course maker?
Its happening again, guys. This is like waiting for GT5 all over again. Its major deja vu right now.
Rant over. Im just going to be waiting on 1.8 now. . I guess.

The device can be fitted on any GT86 in Japan.

Okay, still. $900 for a device that'll record data and put it into a game.

Great for hardcore racing teams, bloody useless for 99% of GT6's players. There's really no defending it, this really is quite useless to GT's fanbase. I don't care if "Oh it'll be used for seasonals blah blah" Unless it makes the game significant and fun, it's pretty much useless.

Useful and fun for those in Japan, PD and Toyota didn't make this for the whole world, yet. I would suggest that you read @Famine posts in this thread.

I don't think you understand that Kaz/PD is in a partnership with every car manufacture that is represented in the game, and then some.
I'm not even going to answer the second part :rolleyes:

Why would hardcore racing teams have a use for this? So they can watch a replay in GT6? It doesn't make sense. It's a novelty product for a console racing game.

Did anyone read Famine's posts about Data Logger?
 
At least GT6 can visualize the whole lap accurately on our TV by simply using USB drive to transfer the file onto the PS3. It's still an early stage tech, with more time, it will be refined and offers more improvement as well as features, maybe in Japan, it will be available on more Toyota models, then expand to other makes, more tracks. With more popularity, it may even take off and available world wide, cheaper device too.

Yeah, you gotta start off small then you start expanding.

I do understand, sir. The thing is, they need to hire more staff.
Not spread themselves thin with impractical media friendly PR fluff.
 
Other features in 1.06 ? 100% sure there wont be any - otherwise it would be advertised. Some minor things that should be available in vanilla already like convertibles being convertibles etc.

MAYBE camber/tire bug but it's 50/50 - it's not a priority ;). Them priorities at PD are weird.

Request: do your "what's changed" tests in 1.05 then update to 1.06 and compare - tons and tons of people "see things" that was in the game from the start.

What the hell is with PD and their Japan exclusive crap? This car with the visualizer is only available in Japan and will only cost an astonishing $900 to get the feature in the car, the only tracks that can be used for this visualizer are in Japan, they have special red bull cars exclusive to Japan (red bull 5G) and other competitions. I understand that PD is a Japanese company, but I think they need to offer all of these things to THE ENTIRE WORLD instead of just Japan.

Edit: Before someone says that I think that PD made the car with the visualizer let me say this. I know that PD did not make the car, I think that PD should have had been in discussion with car companies around the world instead of releasing it with just Japan.

He is also for the most part speculating, is he not?
I do see what he's saying and I think the direction he's suggesting is where this GPS gizmo will go HOWEVER this update is only aimed at japanese gt86 variants as well as specific japanese tracks. That means we are at the mercy of those who purchase it and those who choose to use it. That still limits us to those same cars and tracks in game unless PD pulls at T10 and let's us chase those real world times with PP equivalent cars. So, as far as 1.06 goes, not talking about what ifs and future upgrades, this feature is of no use to pretty much everyone.
 
*Sigh* As each day passes, Kaz continues to prove me right by not caring about his fans. I knew he wouldn't anyway, he hates us. :sly: All he wants, is our money and nothing else to do stuff like "Data Logger".

*Yaaaaawn*

... yet.

The thing is, this update turns GT6 into the only piece of software in the world capable of reading whatever data the Toyota/Denso box (and, I'll assume, the Nismo box) outputs. And it does it 2 months before the box is available to buy. And you don't need to be a Toyota (or, I assume, Nissan) sports car purchaser to take advantage of it. Sure, you'll need the data that the sports car purchaser (or, I'll assume, the Toyota [or Nissan] press office) creates, but you can read it and use it without any other purchase. You certainly don't need $30k of car and a track day in Japan.


Yeah, it's one for the future - but I'll use the Data Logger now. Now I don't have to try and chase down an alien's ghost to see where he's going faster than me - I can do it from the input trace (much like the one Lewis Hamilton Tweeted in frustration in 2012 before it was hastily taken down by the McLaren team) by downloading their replay...
 
The data logger will indeed be useful, and I'll eventually use it exactly for what you described.
As for the Gazoo GT86 gps logger, why even release it now if it won't be usable for 2 more months? WHy not wait and release then? Does PD already have a bank of GPS data that will release along with the visualizer?
I can see the Gazoo car being a beta tester for the module, explaining the very limited availability and choice of machine.

I'd be speculating, but you'd have to hope so, wouldn't you? At the very least they should have data from the press day at Willow Springs! :lol:

One thing I see coming with this and the ridiculous and insatiable lust for Nurburgring laptimes is manufacturer sets lap, manufacturer press department releases lap "telemetry" along with announcement...
 
What Famine said. And as some of us insist, what this technology will be capable of in the future is anyone's guess. Look what lasers, transistors and diodes have brought us. Who would have suspected that modulated lasers would one day be carrying pentabytes of data traffic across the globe, or we'd be using it to watch movies in the comfort of our own homes? Or that a videogame console could have graphics so realistic that people thought they were watching real world racing film?

This "edge effect" Kaz mentioned a few times won't necessarily mean everything you want will come to be, but it may surprise the heck out of you one day.

Would manufactures give away telemetry to the public like that, though?
 
Famine
Well... Toyota for a start, as of June 2nd.
Click to expand...

Ok, true. But that might be a one off marketing thing for the new system. I guess time will tell.

Another thing about the manufacturer telemetry: The Nürburgring lap times are usually set in the early life of a car not when it is a couple of years old. That would mean PD would have to keep the car list up to date regularly.
