Hey now, we don't know this for a fact at all. There are a lot of details about GT6 we know nothing about, and I prefer that it be this way. I don't want to know everything about it before I get it... I want to
experience it.
I have to quibble with this. The whole of GT1 was a pleasant surprise, even though SONY had Kaz reduce the gravity slightly for us in the west to make it more "exciting." Used cars and the Event Maker in GT2. Photo Mode and roof cam in GT4. Course Maker in GT5, even the fireworks are neat. You could assert that these are all examples of those strange things that sorta work, but it's also one of those individual reaction things too. Many of us are delighted with these goodies. I was overjoyed to find that most of the Standard cars were just awesome. A few of them even have more aero options than their Premium counterparts, strangely enough, and only someone like me would discover this.
We don't know much at all about how online is going to work, but mysteriously, the doomsayers don't seem to be too vocal about it. I'm not sure why some things are given the benefit of the doubt around here, and some unknowns are signs of the apocalypse.
It's only a few weeks before we start digging into this box of candies to see what Kaz gave us. Unlike Obamacare, I expect this to be full of good surprises.
