Not really. GT6 is not "better" than GT5. Many of the features of GT5 where claimed to be better in GT6, yet many of those every features that we THOUGHT would be in GT6 were dropped.

To be honest, if they had fixed the sounds of the V8's in GT5 and made the AI not so stupid it could have been a much better game, and that's what GT6 was sold to us as a MUCH better GT5, but it isn't - other than visuals and a few physics tweaks, GT6 is not leaps and bounds ahead of GT5. GT6 is really GT5.5

Now based on this very track record we KNOW GTS is not going to be GT6++++++, it is going to be some weird interpretation of what Kaz thinks people want with the things we like about the GT franchise removed. And he could not even deliver that in the time he said he would - yet again.

I preordered and prepaid for GT5 with great hopes for the GT4++++++ it was promoted as - waited for years and FINALLY it arrived and it was not quite there yet.

Then updates to GT5 where made and advertised features finally added. And then I had a great time with GT5.

So I was a little gun shy to jump into GT6 with such enthusiasm, but did so anyway and what a disappointment. GT6 did NOT have all the features and function of GT5. It barely has them now years later.

So no - this time Kaz will not get my money until I see and test this product.

This delay proves I was correct in the call I made.

p.s. I would be satisfied if they updated Tourist Trophy to PS4 graphics while we waited :)
You won't get to try it until you buy it. Or try it in any gaming event near you ;)
The public beta was a great way to show how the game progresses. Sadly, we might wait 5 or 6 months till the game is ready for release.
 
Physics, Laser Scanned tracks, sound and the facility to create races with Practice and Qualification sessions? AI?

I've bought every Gran Turismo title released in the UK over three generations of console and yet I've taken so little notice of GTS since I got Assetto Corsa that I didn't even hear about the delay to GTS for THREE whole days after it was announced. I will be really impressed if PD can match Assetto Corsa in all these areas.

PD won't match AC with Physics, Track detail, Sound and AI the whole "facility to create races with Practice and Qualification sessions" is already in GT6 and it wouldn't make sense to not carry it over to GTS...

However AC will never match PD with car list, graphics, the whole carrer structure that is going to try to make you a better online driver and heavily structured online sport mode with FIA events also customization and livery editor but that are minor things

I won't go into track list beacuse we don't know a lot yet, im guessing GTS is going to be more diverse in terms of location

Anyways AC is an awesome game for PC where you can download infinite amount of mods and make your own liveries etc... However it just doesn't work for consoles it has no real point to it, it has no real structure...

I was kind of looking forward to AC untill I saw that preety musch every cool car is DLC

Not actually true.

You could play it around a friend's or over share play, as long as release day isn't important, which it's not for everybody.
 
...using the latest technologies, such as physics-based rendering and sound simulations, and Scapes photo mode. In combining these features with a new Sport mode, we are offering a competitive gaming experience to truly reinvent what it means to be a racing game.

I guess a good thing is, the real GT3 cars should have accurate sounds.

With Scapes, seems more like a Photoshop type program.

Sport Mode. This thing is the killer. Spectating is going to be a tough one. As in, what's involved?:
-Will spectators be able to chat to one another separate to the racers?
-Will there be a nomimated pit crew or engineer to coach a player that is driving?
-Will the FIA contact a nominated crew member/engineer of penalties during races?
-Will a virtual safety car(M4) be deployed by a nominated spectator?

-Manufacturer's Cup data. Including different Time Zones, offline play in Arcade Mode, player's garages, etc.
-miles/kilometers logged per player
-shared content and much much more...

I meant as a one player game when I listed what AC does and GT does not do. I should have made that clear.
AC It works for console. It is a brilliant sim and is endlessly entertaining in Quick race and race weekend modes. Yes Career sucks but then so has GT's since GT5.
 
Very smart. The avatar in GTS, ordered the floor mats. 👍

embarrassing difference
 
Current gen Forza games - 3, soon 4
Current gen GT Games - 0

Embarrassing difference.

2 pure arcade games (FH2 -3) made by another team (playground games)

1 terrible game (FM5) that was released simultaneously with GT6, that was a way better game

1 game (FM6) with the embarrassing difference that you can see above

embarassing post

And what,that doesn't change that gt destroys forza in technical departement, but i'm sure that for you is easy to admit that because you aren't forza fanboy i'm right?

No what is embarrassing is people married to videogames. I'll stick to enjoying them all, you keep waiting only for GT and trashing the others.

See above. Those of us mature enough can enjoy all racing games, not worry about who is "destroying" the other like a child. If you actually bothered to look back you'll see me saying that GT is clearly better at lighting and spend more time with their models, it doesn't mean I can't enjoy games that aren't as good in those departments. Because I enjoy all good racing games.

I don't think he is trashing other games ,rether are you and your companions to do so with gt.
 
The big difference is, however, not only do we get to enjoy the graphically superior GT games, apart from standards cars and tracks of course, we also get to enjoy the 3, soon to be 4, Forza games that have been released and the myriad of superior features they offer over GT. It's a double win for us, you, not so much ;)

What superior features?"3d" puddles and livery editor...please,because i don't see other features that gt doesn't have.
 
Well, I suppose the biggest is physics and handling, then we have the career, livery editor, better graphics, better sound, better online, better community features, an open world racing game, better car selection, open wheelers, etc., etc.

You don't know what you are missing ;)
This is better physics?

That's why i say that you are forza fans...
 
At this point it seems you just joined the forum to be a troll, or dogmatic fan of a title that will never sees its builders acknowledge you for anything more than a monetary number. Either way the line between the two is quite small, many of this contributing members are fans and you saying otherwise is just to stir up trouble. Even in the face of a mod or two (pretty sure Slipz told people like you to stop as well) you keep going on, cause you never came here to follow AUP and be civil, you joined with a singular agenda to cause trouble. @driver_34_

EDIT: and I knew Scaff would give immediately he was just waiting.
 
Allow me to preface the rest of this thread's activity with both a warning and a bit of wisdom.

Gran Turismo (and the other racers) are games first and foremost. The undying, fanatical allegiance to that game perceived by some, from something you receive nothing more than personal enjoyment is alarming to say the very least. Your allegiance to such extreme levels is not going to get you very far here. If all any one of you plans to do is deride and condescend other games for the sole reason of it not being Gran Turismo, you're not going to get very far here.

It is one thing to love a game and discuss both its merits and shortcomings when compared to other games but it's another thing entirely to emotionally invest oneself into a discussion that is so out-and-out pointless that one would have to defend a game – seemingly to the death – because one is under the impression their "fight" is for the better of the franchise. It isn't. If anything at all, you're only cementing the notion many people already have about "hardcore" fans, and that doesn't benefit anyone, especially the individual on said tirade.

Again, if one's only intention is to come here and disturb things by causing trouble and blindly defending a game that needs no defending (no game does in this context) then the story becomes you're not welcomed here.

While we'll always encourage heated debates of any kind so long as they don't pass the point of no return, it's important to remember that this is a community. It's time some of you started acting the part.
