Do you still support PD?

[VR_Engineered]

Nope, not anymore. I cleared out my GT6 gamefile and save file a few days ago. Due to how massive the updates would take to download, that pretty much seals it. I'm full on Forza 4, thinking if I should make the big jump to either PC sims (don't know which one is the best) or just buy a Trashbox One and Forza 5.


...I will keep an eye around though...

Download the rFactor2 demo and Game Stock Car Extreme is worth buying. It is a good medium to migrate over to serious sims like RF2 and iRacing. iRacing is awesome, but the tracks get expensive. It's not the sort of sim where you would use all the cars. A lot of people focus on one or a handful to develop and race. There is a points system too and you can get kicked out, making all of the content you purchased redundant :/ But, you get to start with novices and such, so it's not too bad. You just really need to know the rules of racing through and through or you're going to get booted in short order. You also HAVE to be connected to the internet to use iRacing. You can hotlap or play single player with every other PC sim that I know of.

Assetto Corsa just got the 1.0 update, too. People seem very happy with it. I'd put that right between GT6 and a legit sim, too. You will end up playing a full-on sim, do an outlap then a hotlap and walk away realizing that GT6 is a fully-fledged arcade game with decent physics. The difference will be mind-blowing. rFactor 2 just makes me smile when I use it. I actually tapped the retaining wall the first time I pulled out of the garage onto the pit lane hahahaha. Granted my wheel settings had to be dialed in...but I still could have cranked the wheel once I saw what was about to happen and didn't.

I really need a triple screen for this stuff. You don't need one for GT6, but a triple would make legit sims much more enjoyable on my end.

To be honest. After TOCA Race Driver 3. I feel like car racing games are going backwards in term of single player racing especially with GT.

I guess that is the reason I'm not enjoying GT5 and GT6 much and will no longer support PD. Its getting very joyless with Single Player Racing.

If only we could turn the pace and aggression of the AI up like in most simcades and sims. Would make single player actually fun.

I would also like if we could choose the A.I cars for arcade. With the car list they have. Their is endless possibilities.

 

[dimangelogtp]

Changes should be made thats for sure but we should think of us as the past and future of GT ,we all are a peace of this game and without fans like GTplanets base in criticizing and discussing flaws and needs GT wouldn't have existed or evolved to were it's now.

I'm just investing in the legacy of this game after so many years of GT i am very positive for the future results and will always support it cause in the end it's are game.

 

[another_jakhole]

Mostly support them. It's just those parts where they can't get weather or time change for a track with multiple configurations. KART SPACE, EIGER! Those two fantasy tracks that are quite fun to drive, but what the hell.

Kart Space - drift fun but no cars
Eiger - been driving it since GT HD but no weather and time change selection for the reverse layout

small things like that all over the screen

 

[Blank_Redge]

Even with their faults, Gran Turismo is the only franchise I can buy sight unseen, feeling satisfied with my purchase, once I get a chance to pop it in.

In fact, GT5 was the specific reason I bought a PS3. GT7, whenever that drops, will be my impetus to finally break down and get a PS4.

 

[another_jakhole]

to me the xbox and ps4 are fun little toys that really dont amount to that much importance in the world

i didnt expect much from GT6 coming from GT5 and what i got was largely what i expected, the Vision GT stuff is not really essential to the GT6 experience but its fun to download and see whats what

i bought a ps4 for $400 and i expect to buy GT7... so i'm out $450 or so, big deal

if you want to see outrageous, check out what Turn 10 did to Forza 5...

It's a more fun/ funner controller game than GT is for me. Only two factors make it so: One of them is with the physics making it difficult to overcompensate without regret when oversteering, so discipline, and the rumble you get in ya fingas



Ahh man.
quoting is a chore nowadays. I swear, every single time I come back to make a couple posts, I keep forgetting to quote correctly. Or even doing it is a problemo./ blah


Oh, and better sets of settings for Quick Match. One area, SRF off with little payout; the second area, SRF on with a big payout. I'm a 🤬 genius! Come on, someone, get me Kazunori-san on the phone. Make it snappy, chop-chop.

 

[dddsprayshop]

A year of many ups and downs for GT6 has gone by. Some people are amused, while others, disappointed. So, do you still support Polyphony Digital?

I read some postings, not all, reading all is just DEJA VU and get's boring.
The question starts with GT6 and ends with PD.
Some members confuse others that the topic is not about GT6 but about PD.( very strange that confusion.)

I did not choose or entered the poll.
I'm wondering why this question is asked.
What is the point of the question?
If it is curiosity, you did and do know it will get pro's and contra's.💡
Actually you already know.You are a known member, and active enough to know the answers and the effect of your question/poll
It is just a topic like the "believe god" or the "islam" or the "homosexuality" topics.
It's an endless discussion.

I don't like the way this question is asked, and i don't like the purpose of the question.
In fact, i don't like this topic at all.

 

[Ameer67]

What is the point of the question?

To see if people support PD and their actions. Their actions are done by their product releases. Most recently, GT6.

If it is curiosity, you did and do know it will get pro's and contra's.💡

Pros and cons to what?

It is just a topic like the "believe god" or the "islam" or the "homosexuality" topics.
It's an endless discussion.

That's a whole other ball game when talking about those topics. This is based on facts and opinions, not religious or ethical beliefs. You like what PD has done? Vote yes. Dislike what they're doing? Vote no. Don't want to vote? Fine with me.

 

[CaptainTNT]

I got a PlayStation 4 for Christmas so yes I will be supporting Polyphony Digital when I get Gran Turismo 7 in future. For example Gran Turismo 6 is all I play on my PlayStation 3.

 

[joerismo]

I just picked up a PS3 and the GT6, I have been busy in life and have not touched a console game in years. I am a huge car nut and fell in love with GT3 on the PS2 years ago. I am just now getting time to play Gran Turismo again and this PS3 and GT6 is amazing compared to GT3 on the PS2.

You guys are crazy if you're complaining about this game... It's fun as hell!

 

[CBH]

I will be still supporting Polyphony Digital, and when I get GT7 on PS4 and still support them in the future as well, and it the only game I will play now because I have sold my Xbox and all of my racing games and also my PC racing games as well. I am only concentrating on the Gran Turismo series.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Neutral. GT6 was a mixed bag for me. It improved some things over GT5, but it was still lacking in some key areas. If PD learned from the issues that were in GT5/GT6 and fix them in GT7, I'll gladly buy a PS4 to play it. If not, then I refuse to give PD any money.

I don't have loyalty to any company. If you make a subpar product, I'm not going to buy it, regardless of how good past games were. It's that simple.

 

[Imari]

Taken in a vacuum, you're right. Compared to a 14 year old game on a generation old console, you're right. If you've not played anything on console for years then GT6 would be a revelation.

If you want to retain that opinion, don't play any other racing games. You'll be very happy with GT6. I think you'll find that a lot of the people who find GT6 lackluster have not had the break from gaming that you describe.

You know how if you haven't had a beer (or insert your beverage of choice) for a while, you can pretty much pick up any beer and enjoy it? But if you drink every day, your taste becomes more refined and you probably develop preferences.

That's what you're seeing. Enjoy it, and I hope it lasts for you. But there's no need to call other people crazy, just because they haven't taken 14 years off of gaming.

Here we go again, someone is positive and along comes someone to try and bring him down.

Get over yourself Imari, some people are capable of enjoying games. Stop trying to deface their enjoyment

@Imari 's post pretty much sums up how I feel about your post as well. There's no need to call us crazy just because we've been playing for years and have experience with this and other games. I mean, anyone can find almost anything fun if they haven't done it in awhile. Sorry, but I don't appreciate being called crazy just because I have been playing for awhile and have formed an opinion. Get back with me in about 7 years if you continue playing and let me know if you still have the same enthusiasm and excitement as you do now.

@jimipitbull Its not like that at all. Its the tone of the last part of his post where he comes off like we're all crazy just because we don't share his same enthusiasm for the game as he does. See, here you go again.

 

[Alutec]

Been supporting them ever since GT3 c:

Crazy was used as a figure of speech, I don't believe any offence was intended. Regardless, it didn't need a passive aggressive lecture implying he is uninformed in regards to games.

 

[Imari]

Did you see the part where I said I hope he keeps that enjoyment of GT6? Where am I trying to bring him down?

I'm trying to explain to the guy that it's not necessary for him to call anyone who doesn't share his opinion crazy. I'm glad he enjoys the game. That's great. Does he need to label everyone who doesn't share that view a lunatic? Not really.

Crazy was used as a figure of speech, I don't believe any offence was intended. Regardless, it didn't need a passive aggressive lecture implying he is uninformed in regards to games.

Do you think that if it was me calling him crazy for liking the game, that you'd be coming to my defense when he complained about me labelling a massive group of people?

I know you're pretty big on defending people who have positive views on the game from being overwhelmed by negativity, and truth be told I'm fairly keen on that too. I don't like to see people being shouted down simply because they enjoy the game; I make every effort myself to try and make sure that I'm not telling people that their enjoyment of the game is invalid when I reply, and mostly I succeed.

But it has to be a two way street. If people with a positive view on the game are entitled to hold that opinion without being told that it's wrong, then people with a negative view need that too. And that includes people coming into a thread and saying "anyone who doesn't enjoy the game is crazy".

If that's not what @joerismo meant, then he's welcome to correct himself. But you don't get to interpret it for him.

 

[Pootis]

No.

After their brushing off of the Kaz Q&A section, their endlessly vague answers which is honestly ridiculous and the fact they do not listen to the fan base or communicate regularly with us, I've lost all respect for Kaz and PD.

To win back the fans they'll have to do some big things;
- Admit their mistakes
- Start exploring/adding cars from outside of Japan
- Deliver B-Spec & Course Maker (It's finally starting to bug me that it isn't in the game yet)
- Communicate with the fan base
- Listen to the fan base, extensively

Just by doing this, they can go a long way to winning back fans and earning back lost respect. Not a demand list, just a way to improve the company.

Don't get me wrong, GT6 is a great game but PD needs to improve, greatly.

They need to add cars like the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 (it's even in DriveClub now). The Course Maker and B-Spec are also needed.

The sounds need to be better as well

 

[daft biker]

Not that much of the let down of GT6. I'll wait several months before Ill buy GT7.

Much the same here except I expect several more years to pass by before they launch GT7 then I'll have to wait again before there is enough content to want to start playing it.

Not sure I'd have bothered with GT6 if I had known there wouldn't be endurance racing.....next time I'll check the kind of content I like is in the game before buying.

 

[dddsprayshop]

To see if people support PD and their actions. Their actions are done by their product releases. Most recently, GT6.

When you see what the result is, what then?
Even i know that lot's of hardcore GTfans are thinking of going the microsoft way (xbone/PC)
and that there are still GTfans that stay loyal and a bunch of people that don't know and stay neutral.
What do you do? Stay loyal, neutral or head for another game, or wait for the outcome and decide then?

Pros and cons to what?

To the game and PD.(That was the topic question.)

That's a whole other ball game when talking about those topics. This is based on facts and opinions, not religious or ethical beliefs. You like what PD has done? Vote yes. Dislike what they're doing? Vote no. Don't want to vote? Fine with me.

Other ballgame, yes other subjects, but the basics stay the same.
Basics: you get supporters, defenders, fanatics, neutrals, dreamers (that fantasize about the outcomings).
So is this topic, it's based on Facts and opinions..
For example.
Fact: GT6 does not have all promised features.
Believe: People think these features will get into GT7?


Let me explain it this way, why i don't like this topic.
The name and poll are different from other topics but i allready see postings with similar reactions from other topics.
-Standard cars.
-No b-spec
-No course creator
-yes free dlc
-No, free dlc are promised and not all delivered
-GT6 is only a year old.
-love for GT6
-hate for GT6
etc. etc. etc.
So it is a deja vu for me.Same discussion in a different package.

 

[Sjorge]

I bought GT6 on auto-pilot, because I liked the GT games and also in the believe I would buy a complete game. I've never been so wrong. Don't know if I'll buy GT7. I think I will check the comments on GT7 on GTPlanet first.

 

[iName]

I still support them because they are one the last developers to actually give a 🤬 about their community.

The Crew, $60 for a game that acts like Real Racing 3. Over priced cars but cheap with paid credits. Even rockstar with GTAV, they purposely release surprise updates with overpriced cars so that we get caught of guard and pay for money to get the cars. In the age of micro transactions, PD did give the option but didn't make it to the point were you HAVE to use them. That's really rare these days.

 

[AndyScarbro94]

I liked GT5 for a while but then I got sick of the sounds.

Then GT6 was announced and I bought it at release, praying the sounds might be better. I was disappointed.
Waited a year into GT6 to find that the sounds are no better.

I certainly don't support PD anymore, but I have just enough love for previous versions of the game to be interested in GT7. If PD can take a leap forward with GT7 then they will have my support once more. I won't be buying at release.

If GT7 sucks then that's the end of the story for me.

Ha ha ha ha.... care about the community ha ha ha ha......... have you not read the forum throughout the year ? PD don't care about anyone but their own little vision, you get what they say you're getting & if you like it thats fine but don't say they care about us. Again ha ha ha ha, happy new year

Yeh, because most other console games and developers do it completely differently.
Oh wait ...

 

[Zlork]

I just picked up a PS3 and the GT6, I have been busy in life and have not touched a console game in years. I am a huge car nut and fell in love with GT3 on the PS2 years ago. I am just now getting time to play Gran Turismo again and this PS3 and GT6 is amazing compared to GT3 on the PS2.

You guys are crazy if you're complaining about this game... It's fun as hell!

I'm very happy to see that you have fun on GT6 !

For me, it's the best episode of the saga ! And when B-SPEC mode and course maker will be available, GT6 will be even better !

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I never said they did, did I ?
We're talking about PD, but I can think of 1 company. .
Codemasters brought out grid 2 & got a massive backlash from its community, so they rushed out autosport to compensate, although still not a patch on the old toca games at least they tried.
Which is more than i can say for PD.
