GT Academy 2012 (NA) General Discussion

[GTPorsche]

I was initially ranked 5th but I know that will drop.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Turbo to the front... Look out!

Gotta shut down to do the Miata race for the next couple hours. Let's see how far I drop until then.

 

[Doodle]

1:33.000 on 8-5. Now I will focus on the others I rushed through

 

[Suzumiya]

I don’t know about modelling the oval but some of the main track model looked average, some very poor textures on the run down to turn 1 and elsewhere.

Hopefully it isn't another Trial Mountain quality track. D:

 

[scca_ziptie]

And quite nice that they have added a "sorted by nation" option in the drop down tab on the us.gran-turismo.com website.... Alright F1 race now under my belt, time to attempt the new round challenges !

 

[Samus]

Most of it looked ok although I wasn't really taking it all in as I was focused on lapping but some dodgy textures jumped right out at me. Pretty sure it's another GT4 upscale rather than from scratch. It just doesn't have the same quality as Spa for example.

 

[JerseyDriverSS]

I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Knowing its the 370 makes me very happy.

 

[JDMKING13]

I love the tire tread on the tuned 370Z.

 

[Michelin]

24th at 7-5, 32.140 with DS3.

AAAAAAAAAWWWWW YYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA!!!!
obviously is not going to last, but whatever.

Motegi looks like PS2.Except asphalt texture. This track should be free to everyone.It's not even premium track.Come on PD!

 

[ROYALEFATALE]

dropped to 10th, then up to 5th, now 6th, was racing your ghost R1600

At least we got something. Quit complaining. And it is free.

 

[GTPorsche]

Improved my time to 16th overall. Was 13th when I started. Fully expected to get dropped out quickly.

 

[Endless-Wilso]

can somone tell me whats up with the score boareds why theres big gaps in the nationalities times?

 

[Suzumiya]

Looks like I'll have to see the track quality for myself, as GT5 already has enough graphical inconsistencies. xD
The combination of tires and car sounds interesting, and congrats to those living their short time of fame in the top 10.

 

[patriotzero]

No, we didn't get anything. We won't drive on this track 13 days later.I meant it should be free in GT5. I didn't complain. I just said what i saw.

 

[Samus]

Eh? Do you have a fetish for tire tread or something?

 

[patriotzero]

 

[Endless-Wilso]

3RD fastest american at 8-3

We obviously downloaded it in the last update. Once the competition is over you can almost guarantee it'll be unlocked in the game.

Honestly the track looks fine to me. If you focus on the road like you're supposed to, everything else doesn't matter.

 

[Suzumiya]

Judging from the video, it doesn't look too bad, about the same quality as Fuji. ^^

They could just as easily charge for it. There is no guarantee on anything.

 

[patriotzero]

You're right but Day n night cycles or weather option would be good. Let's see what will happen on 4th July!
8 cars + Racing suit +Motegi = FREE maybe!

Well we'll see.

Right now this is not the right place to be arguing over it anyway. This thread is for discussing the competition, not how some people don't like how the track looks.

 

[ROYALEFATALE]

i just exited GT Academy and opened it again, now i can't view the rankings by region anymore, what gives?

 

[JDMKING13]

Eh.. No I love attention to detail didn't know it was a problem. Anyway it was great just running on a new track for once. 👍

The same thing happened to me

 

[uktopgear92]

[Endless-Wilso]

[ROYALEFATALE]
