Im hoping they have left the physics and all the bugs alone and spent the last few months just concentrating on adding as many racing suits and helmets as possible so that we can play Gran Turismo dress up again, then im hoping for Matching handbag and Y front DLC.
We need as many as possible as there is nothing worse than turning up to race in the same get up as someone else and getting involved in a cat fight

we know the release shelf date is Dec. 6th. So, let's work backwards.
Typically 5-6 weeks are set apart for disc manufacturing and shipping. In GT's case and sales volume that might be more like 7-8 weeks, but let's just say Nov. 1st is the day that discs start getting printed and shipped. That means the build of the game that ships on the disc will be "ready" a week ahead of time, or Oct. 25th. (In the span of that week is a lot of final testing. A build is also sent to Sony for evaluation, to the ESRB/PEGI for rating, etc.) Give it another 2 weeks for heavy testing (starting Oct. 11) where only broken things are fixed but no new content or features are added. Or in other words, the first proposed "finished" build of the game will be Oct. 11th. Working backwards from there is time for content fixes (ie cars with a texture out of place or holes in track maps) for at least a week (Oct. 4th). Content probably goes into lockdown about then - meaning everything that will be in the game is in the game, but might have a bug or two. Code is probably also in lockdown by then as well. Working backwards are minor code fixes and performance/load time gains. The actual game features should basically have been locked down a month ago (game modes, menu flow, etc.) Things going on right now would be things like finalizing UI sounds and texts, localization for text and VO, and TESTING TESTING TESTING and bug fixing. I would guess they have a team of testers playing through everything they can with each daily build, trying to find broken things and evaluating performance (ie framerate). Within the next month the car list that ships on disc will be finalized with all licenses in place for cars and tracks, the audio mix will be done, the lighting systems and shader systems will be finished up and then the code focus moves from "make it run" to "make it work well."
Usually about 2 weeks after disc production starts is when reviewer copies start being sent out, so 3-4 weeks after is when you'll start seeing published reviews. (This will be skewed for PS4 titles since consoles also need to be shipped out, but GT6 is on PS3 so it should be smoother on that front.)
Dates are approximated from a number of internet sources about times to develop games.

If the release date doesn't change I will most likely be busy with my semester exams when it comes out. Maybe I should just wait for christmas then but it's no problem. I have no intention of getting a PS4 anytime soon as I still don't feel I have got enough out of my old PS3 games, and then there's GTAV coming out in a few days.

They probably found the Paint coin system such a good idea that they are busy with a same system for spoilers, tuning parts and CARS...
This sothat we have around 1000 untuned cars like the Fiat 500 where we will race with because we love slow sh**ty cars...
The good part is that the offline opponents drive a fast car they won't be able to handle because off their stupidness sothat we still win easily.
I really can't wait till GT6. I love GT5 but it has some really stupid features.

Well there goes the idea of buying GT6 popping it in the old ps3 and playing. Now we'll have to suffer through downloading a patch, and in good old SA that could take a while if the connection drops or the speeds are terrible as per usual

I think they are probably ready with the GT6 disc now and that they are now working on the first day patch. The disc factories are pobably pretty busy now.
