Server has just gone kaput for me too. Oh well, I'll use the downtime to list my thoughts on the update:
Hooray for Super GT cars!!! Personally I liked the older low and wide styled cars more than these new boxier and taller DTM style cars, but it will be interesting to try them out. Kinda hoped the LC500 would be there instead of the RCF, but I understand why they went for all 2016 cars. I hope older JGTC cars will come back someday. Also, I was so confused what the differences was between the 2 driver livery choices, as even the names above the doors are the same
Someone posted a while back the different coloured lights on the windscreen - now I know 👍
Love the RB Standard (best money grinder in GT6), but I always felt the RB Junior is too underpowered for its grip level. RB Fan Car would've been interesting to try with GTS physics and to compare against SRT Tomahawk (which is so much harder to drive now without Active Steering). But I agree with bringing the Standard and Junior first as they are more useful in races.
DB11 is ok, would've preferred the Vanquish personally or even Valkyrie. So many colour choices though - I wished PD would allow us to mix and match exterior and interior colours. I was going for Diavolo Red but can't stand that ghastly red interior
so went for Cinnabar Orange instead.
M3 Sport Evo is a nice surprise. Not that big a fan myself (always preferred the Merc 190E Evo II), but I guess peer pressure is too much for PD
GT40 Mk I - surprised they went for this instead of the Mk IV to complement the 300 and XJ13 already in game, but my wallet thanks you PD. SEMA Mustang is cool as well.
Emil Frey RCF, would be interesting to compare with the Proto version. Classic PD duping strategy though.
FC RX7 - I can't believe PD is still going for the slower GTX version instead of the INFINI III *facepalm*
GT-R Nismo *sigh* another GT-R. At least this one's the fastest version. R33 though is nice to have 👍 Always the most forgotten and unloved amongst the R32/33/34 trio IMO.
Took me just under 10 million to buy all of them. At this rate I will never be able to afford the 330/XJ13 lol.
Disappointed with Tsukuba. Not my favourite after its overuse in numerous Seasonals in GT5/6. I know it's Best Motoring hallowed ground but I would've preferred Maze or Gunsai. Textures are upgraded so at least it looks nice. Also it seems going wide at the last corner isn't the fastest anymore due to the roughened green kerb run off.
I'm also getting the bug with race rewards SFX not being played.
New GT League events always nice to break up the monotony of BMB grinding.
Love the sakura scapes. We've had Red Leaves, Snow and Spring. I bet next one will be related to Summer
This particular penalty update is a bit weird
I really hope something has been lost in translation because it just doesn't make sense.
- In a collision between two cars, the car behind will no longer receive a more severe penalty;
Finally, happy for Fanatec users that they can now use their wheels without workarounds. Hopefully this means future Fanatecs will also be supported (Podium
). I know what I'm getting when my T-GT inevitably dies.
