20 million credits for free!

Or the most likely fix they can do is to make the vision GT cost 20 million to buy in game, with a patch. That way there would be no profitable resale by reverting to V1.0

Than they had to put the new NSX and Deltawing for 20 million too since these cars can be sold by 334M in 1.0.
 
The easiest way PD could fix it is to make the Mercedes $20mil in patch 1.01 and above. Wouldn't help to pay $20mil just to get $20mil back due to 1.0's bank limit.

They'd have to also do that to both Deltawings and both NSX Concepts since they also work.

I think an easier way would to be to either edit the value of the cars in an update, so when the game is saved and an older version is attempted to be loaded, the car value would spit out 0, OR just edit the way savefiles are handled so with older versions, the file is unreadable.

That's possible? :confused:

Yes, very. They could easily update the game that would read older versions of savefiles, but not export with that format, but with a new format.

Think of it like opening a Microsoft Word document (.doc) and then saving it as (.docx). It took the old file and resaved it as a file that the older versions can't open.
 
If you do glitch remember to delete the GAME data file, you don't have to touch the SAVE data file as that's has all your progress/cars etc
 
Thank the Lord. Hadn't thought of that, though I fear the 5,000 X1's may have already been bought for those online lobby's...

Why is this something that needs to be fixed from a player's point of view?
I understand why it needs to be fixed from Sony/PDs point of view, though.

Some people just see it as a moral issue. Not working for what you're earning essentially.

I couldn't care less, I mean for me it's just a game, plus I bought GT6 so I could drive (and take pictures of) cars I'll probably NEVER see in my life, not to sit there and grind for hours to maybe afford ONE of those cars.

I understand why people are morally objected to it though, I mean everyone's going to be driving the same cars all the time, the sense of earning something, etc.
 
That said, I'm probably going to do it because I just heard we hardly make any credits out of the S and iA events. Never had to cheat/glitch in my life and of all the games I'm going to start with this..

Yes, that's what I said...
?

But in the version 1.00 they cost 20 million credits. If someone wants to do the piggy bank trick, buy many Ferrari 330 P4's, Jaguar XJ13's or Ford Mark IV. I'm not sure about Ford GT40 Race car '69 but I think it can be sold for six million credits too.
 
The door...can you see it? Kindly walk towards it. Thanks.


Ferrari 250 GT0
Ferrar 330 P4
Ford gt40 race car
another ford gt40
Alfa TZ2
Jaguar XJ13 and xj13 chrome line

I think that's it. There are 7.5mil and 10 mil and 15mil cars.

Lambo Miura also...

It doesn't matter what they cost on 1.00 because you're selling them in 1.01.
A LOT of cars cost much more in 1.00 than 1.01.
GT40 race car with the GULF livery is still 20mil.

Lambo Miura also...
Miura is 15mil, isn't it?
 
The new update can scan where you made your money from and resets it. Then bans you. That said, I'm probably going to do it because I just heard we hardly make any credits out of the S and iA events. Never had to cheat/glitch in my life and of all the games I'm going to start with this..

How? We spent it all in version 1.0...

...where did you get this information? There isn't any update that "scans your credits" and "bans" you. What would it even ban you from? playing the game?

Not working for credits is anything but a moral issue. There is no reason to grind credits and there is no "superiority" in buying cars with credits gained from doing events. The people that have a problem with it have a problem with people thinking differently.

As for everyone driving the same car, I don't see how. If there was one car that everyone was going to get, that's all they would save their "earned" credits for. The sense of earning something only means something to people who think it's important. Obviously that's not everyone, so again it doesn't matter.

How exactly?
 
I have yet to get the game yet, but when I do (probably christmas) will this still work if I never update my game to the latest patch, assuming its patched by then?
You'll have to update so u can buy the merc to sell in 1.00

I'm not saying I agree with them, I'm just saying I understand their arguments. I mean I've done the glitch and I don't care who knows, I have no issue with it.

I agree, there is no "superiority" in buying cars with gained credits, but some people just like to think that way.

I see. That makes sense. I hope they don't do that though. Grinding boring races aren't fun :P

Yes but it is confusing to say that any 20 million car should do the trick. The piggy bank trick is not so effective if you buy X2010's for example. They cost 20 million in version 1.00 but you'll get only about two millions when you sell them in a newer version.

Any 20 million car from 1.01 will do the trick.
 
I made a second account so to do it with, I just want to play the game with the actual progression on my main account.
 
I'm with you guys... After completing everything up through int A license and just over a million and I'm actually feeling discouraged about buying any cars.

So I'm exploring this now if only to explore more cars and not finish the game with only awarded cars...

I understand earnings are suppose to be valuable but its a bit too realistic when it mirrors the real world economy these days...
 
If they didn't have the micro transactions to purchase credits and actually gave us the prize money and cars as in GT5's career then we would not have this issue - having to grind for two hours to get 2 cars and not even enough money to modify one is terrible
 
I'm really torn with this. Morally, I object unquestionably but at the same time it is simply too appealing to ignore. Coupled with the fact that this glitch is so public, I would imagine a large proportion of people who know how to do it probably will. It is difficult to 'go without' when you know that so many others are taking advantage of a situation.

I don't agree with microtransactions and would never transfer my real money into 'fake' money but I can't help but feel for the people who have already purchased credits. I'd feel pretty sick if I had paid for credits which are now easily obtainable with a glitch.

It's a mess. Putting the technical issues surrounding the fix to one side, I can't begin to imagine how they will deal with the fallout.
 
I am perfectly okay with purchasing DLC. I bought every single bit of DLC that came out on GT5 and I will do the same for the upcoming DLC on GT6. The way I see it, you paid for what was put into the game at the release date. That money was spent to buy all of PD's research and development that went into the initial game. Once PD spends more money to offer us more content, I think it's fair that they ask to be reimbursed for that extra investment they put in.

What I don't think is fair is when they sell you a game that has virtually unachievable content. How in the world are you supposed to be able to buy a 20M credit car in the game when the total payout of all races to the end is around $7M credits? By the time you're done grinding enough winnings to buy the Ferrari 330 P4, GT7 will be out. Oh, I know. They expect you to spend nearly the amount of money that you already paid for their game to buy enough virtual money just to get the car they put in the game for you to "enjoy" driving. By the time you grind enough to buy the Ferrari 330, you will be so sick of playing GT6 it won't matter.

I agree, the grinding is way too much. When I mentioned DLC I was mainly referring to day one DLC eg Forza 5; they have already made it before release date and have made a strategical decision to not include it in the game at base retail price. And who's to say the next 6 months of GT6 DLC isn't already done before release date bar tidying up?

I bought all the GT5 DLC but that's also another point; I got the academy edition (GT5 and all DLC) in my local Tesco for £20, when most people had to spend nearly £100 paying for it all separately

I'm going to edit my post, please edit yours too. I don't want to give them ideas, despite it being very easy to correct the glitch and reset our money/cars.

If you're interested in how, private message me.
 
So I leave for a couple days and now this game has it's own get rich quick policy..:lol: consider me in(alongside my regular game of course).
