Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3

It's funny that racing games are the only games where people demand this accumulative volume of content, everything from the last version plus a load of new stuff.

It's not like first person shooters give you every map from the last 4 games plus ten more.

I agree that 71 does not seem like a huge number, and it would be weird if they took circuits away, but hopefully it's not quite such a meager offering as it would appear and there will be plenty of new tracks to enjoy, with perhaps older ones redone and added later (hopefully cheaply if not for free).
 
What about the garage, do we still only have one! Personally, I would rather have only the premium cars than 1200 cars and only one garage...there are way too many cars to keep track of in this game :crazy: Other than that I can't wait, I will pre-order as soon as possible 👍



From that garage it seems that there's no Standard/Premium division.
 
p.s in this in the Car's announment.

They say the it's an extra 200 cars from GT5!

SO MAYBE THEY HAVE REMOVED SOME DUPLICATES ETC?
Here too, they're referring to the conservative/advertised number of cars (1000) in the "vanilla" version of GT5.
By counting car number more accurately, and counting also in DLC and special edition cars as well, there are about 1140 cars in GT5, which doesn't leave much room for extra cars.

Plus, we already have proof that they're going to add "duplicates" as usual. Another user noticed that the new Premium Alpine in the latest screenshots is a different model year than the standard edition from GT4/GT5, and of course it will count as a completely different car despite being almost the same one for all intents and purposes.

I'm curious as to why you'd count Eiger dirt and Eiger road as the same course?

Because they're part of the same "map"/location, you can actually drive over a portion of the road layout in one of the dirt layouts.
 
Not uber hyped. Let's see what this GT6 going to bring. 100% sure no Day 1 for me.
Day 1 I'll be popcorn mode reading the forum.

If they added SLS GT3 I hope for 458 GT3, Audi R8 GT3, Gallardo GT3 and McL GT3.
 
Now we are going to have 400 cars...I mean 200 Premiums from GT5 + 200 more from GT6...then up to 1200...which means those 400 premiums x3...= 1200 Premiums!!:dopey:

LOL

To be technical, they were comparing at the time of release in which GT5 had 1000ish vs. GT6 having 1200ish. Also, they didn't exactly say 200 NEW cars, but rather 200 more. Whether that's 200 more from GT5's release count, or 200 more inlcuding the DLCs, we're not too sure. To be on the safe side, I'm going with 60, if I'm factoring time spent on remodeling some of the standards as well.

But why 60? Did we really get 140 DLC cars with GT5? (200-60=140)



From that garage it seems that there's no Standard/Premium division.

That's a concept, not the complete version.
 
Not sure why all the complaints, however you slice it we are looking at 150-200 "new" cars, which will almost certainly all be premium. We've seen just a very small selection of those in the trailer, and they are great choices, but there will be at least 140 more. For me that's very promising indeed :)

It also looks like at least one car has been promoted from standard to premium, perhaps others besides. If you read Jordan's news post he says 1200 cars in total, so the "new" cars wouldn't include any upgraded standards (unless the likes of the LP400 still appear as a standard too...hmm! But then I don't think they can count it twice?)

Any GT game and indeed any driving franchise typically retains the tracks from the previous game, and they are adding more from the off, plus downloadable tracks. How much more exactly are people expecting? Take Forza 4, which I think is also a great game, but which also retains tracks from previous games in the series, with just a smattering of new ones besides. And has a similar amount of cars to GT5's premium count.

Add to all of this new suspension model, tyre deg, improved UI (woot!) and no doubt many other tweaks (hopefully improvements to shadows, and silly omissions like the clunkiness of lap record tables etc) and I think this is shaping up just fine :)

EDIT: Hmm just read intervening posts and I can see I was a little off regarding the increase in cars, I was looking at the master list from the front page of GTPlanet which counts 1031 and I guessed about 20 DLC cars max, which was also wrong! Still, 60 new premiums (plus DLC) sounds OK to me :)

I'm excited about GT6, but to already make assumptions that everything is "back to better" from a trailer and short bulleted list seems a bit crazy to me.
 
I counted 25 track surroundings in GT5. Plus 4 in DLCs (Spa, Kart, SSR X, Twin Motegi), that just leaves room for three new tracks if no old tracks are left out. Maybe Top Gear Test Track is out. There was a rumor about that long time ago. That means just four really new tracks maximum and one is to be Silverstone.

I was sad about 7, but only 4 new ones? Hopefully, the first DLCs come in pretty fast.
 
Overall, pretty stoked with what I see. I know many people are disappointed, but I like what I'm seeing. The customization thing regarding the aero parts interested me a lot, that's been one of my few complaints in GT5 so I'm glad to see its be addressed for GT6.

Interesting stuff, especially the GPS feature (I'm guessing that is one of the integration things for the Smart phone).
 
I think G.T. Ace is going to be very happy about that feature. He recently made a track for rFactor so I can easily see this as something he'll enjoy.
 
Toyota are currently tweeting about GT6 and how the GT86 is the first car in the world to have this tech on-board for GT6... So yes, it's the case.
 
Create tracks from you real-life drives and favourites routes with the new GPS data feature.

:drool:

Well from the video, it says it'll be based on the available locations (like themes) on the game and that more will be release post launch. In other words, pre-modeled locations/routes by PD. I don't think we can just use GPS data like Google Maps and make a race track out of our neighborhood or something lol. That would be beyond insane.
 
No way. I seriously doubt that. I saw some tweets about the GT86 using GPS to record its route and position and that the information on the ECU could be uploaded to GT6 which would let you watch back your real-life lap of Silverstone in the game. I think people have been misconstruing this feature a lot. And where Brands came from I have no idea, but I don't think the info on that page or whatever is accurate or official.
