Nurburgring in beta?

I'M SO HYPE RIGHT NOW

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Nice, it sound like a proper M6 GT3. Still need a little bit of tweaking but it is getting better.

Jeez, the transmission in that thing is such a whiner. I was watching a video of it in the onboard cockpit and it was one of the loudest features of the car.

 

[RaY29rus]

I wish it was available, I've put in at least 150 laps into Brands Hatch

Author said Nurb available in Sport mode

 

[Coiler]

No streamer live yet?

Ahh I guess I'll have to wait and see later if it's true

Marvin !! Where you at??
Everyday watching he's channel , I stopped play Gt6 ! I would say thank to this guy and who had discovered him.
I enjoy his streaming, and his reaction when he goes off track , every time same errors, but i like his way to discover the game aka beta.
I wish that GtSport will come out very soon 👍

If Marvin is true to form he will pop up in the next couple of hours 👍

Can't wait to see him tackle the Nurb.

 

[rono_thomas]

Can't wait to see him tackle the Nurb.

I hope he has the patience, he persevered with Brands Hatch, but I remember learning Nurb and it taking a very looonng time

I don't know if I'm the only one to think this, but I really am appreciating the attention to detail regarding sound design. I'm not talking about the engine/exhaust note in particular, but more about how they're emulating reality.

In almost all other racing games I have played, when a car travels over the curb you can hear the tires and curb interacting, but that's it. In GT Sport you also hear the chassis stress and creak just as a real stripped racing vehicle would.

The transmission sounds are also impressive, although they still need to be mixed better. Such as how the sequential transmission in the Mustang gr.4 now clicks and bangs with each shift.

Even the backfire sounds are striking. It's not a single loud bang, but a combination of gurgles and pops.

I guess it's the little things that impress me.

...and the wind noise, and the speakers of the track, and the very good tire squeals (racing and sport)

is there any way to get this beta? I signed up last week and had my friend sign up for me as well but neither got the code. thats some real ******** seeing as how I've always been loyal as **** to PD and supported every one of their games.

 

[Leohjames2014]

Just so everyone knows, as far as I can see, The Nurburgring isn't available on either arcade or sport mode. Now they could update the beta later today nearer to when the sports mode is active, but right now, it isn't available.

Cheers for the info mate.

I wonder how these other types got it then...

New system of cameras!

 

[BoneSawTX]

Are you implying that when GTS comes online that GT6 servers will shut down? I wouldn't think so but who knowns

That's not what he said at all, how did you even get that?

 

[Famine]

It's likely that there is very limited space and there were three orders of magnitude more people signing up than spaces available.

That's some real ******** seeing as how I've always been loyal as **** to PD and supported every one of their games.

What a terrific attitude. The beta wasn't even made available to Europeans - the largest market for any GT game - but you don't see us kicking off about it.

 

[PietBoon]

Do you know when the beta begins for us?

 

[Michelin Man]

Do you know when the beta begins for us?

By "us" I presume you mean Europe.

There hasn't been any date set for phase 2, i.e. the European part of the closed beta, but one could assume that it wouldn't be too long after the US closed beta.

"As the BETA begins to increase in size, those who have signed up within the EU BETA Portal (see related link below) or received a direct e-mail will be selected to participate in Phase 2 of the closed BETA. Spaces will be limited so, if you don’t get into Phase 2, make sure you stay tuned for future BETA activities in the run-up to launch!"

Thanks. I did mean europe. I wish PD where a little more open about the beta.

Nurburgring in beta?

That looks fantastic. I just hope they have got everything else right. Graphics, and lighting in particular, have always been their best feature, this takes it to another level. Please, please PD don't screw the rest up again.

This replay looks stunning to me, it looks so real!

Marvin Day 3

Yay Marvin's back on. he's a cult hero. You can always rely on Marv.

 

[Tired Tyres]

He's getting better. Toyota FT1 with cockpit. Although the complete lack of brake marker boards on the track is surprising.

 

[Noname0529]

Anyone find any new cars yet? Just curious.

The FT1 had a "premium" cockpit view in GT6.
