The European store updates on a Wednesday usually, we've got this specially today. It seems for the US though you're getting it in your normal update, on a Tuesday.

Still, why can you all get it earlier? Is it impossible for PSN to update all stores at the same time? I'm annoyed because it seems to me like a case of "We could, but we just don't want to so screw you".

July 2nd in the evening is still July 2nd. I really don't see the need to rage over 12 hours difference.

It's July the 2nd in the time some of us have stuff to do. And I rage over 12 hours difference because...well because GT6 :lol:. When you're as starved for info on an upcoming game as the average GT fanboy, that kind of unfair stuff really irks you :lol:.
 
Yea, I think it's possible to get gold with a controller. My lap times kept getting better and better, but I can't manual shift like I want to, which ultimately drives me down. Also, braking with ABS off is the ****ing worst with a controller. It's instant lockup.
 
Gold is easy with a pad, although I'm not switching off the ABS without any brake balance settings. I had some issues with gold in the first bonus event, darn that GT-R drives like a truck. :lol:
 
How long for it to be available on U.S store?

8pm EST according to the US Playstation Blog, I would have thought it better to release it earlier in the day to stagger the load on the network considering that's prime time for half the region.

I'm just going to wait til tomorrow before I download it.

Really looks good, but at the same a bit exagerated body roll for a sports car... Race cars no way in hell should have that ammount of body roll.

Usually the EU,AU,NZ (PAL) PSN store updates a couple days after the US Store... Finally we got something hours earlier, imagine having to wait a day or two longer every store update usually when there is something you are dying to play.

Hell, even games tend to release a couple days later in PAL territories. PAL regions go through this all the time.
 
Watching gameplay of GT6 pisses me off. Why didn't PD wait for a new console?
? care to elaborate or are you just sounding off because you can?

Absolutely true - it is all the time for us, yet we generally accept it calmly. Codemasters were one of the few that released in the UK before US but even they've stopped doing that now.
 
You need a wheel to get Gold in the Silverstone Timelap. And for the GT-R Events. That the only way to get Gold.

Not necessarely. I golded everything with a ds3. I even managed a 139th time on the full Silverstone lap. It was quite surprising as my best place in previous test was 3109th. It was a good lap though.

I'm really enjoying the game so far. The shadows inside the car look MUCH better. The new physics are awesome. But the shifting animation on the GT-R is still very exaggerated. I won't comment on the A.I. as I hope that's not representative of the final game. Because it sucks now. Badly.
 
What sort of positions are everyone placing in? I'm getting consistent 600s/700s. Using a controller and I've golded all challenges plus the first bonus GT-R one. It affirms my dislike for it :lol:

it seriously will not turn under speeds. I placed gold on the second bonus no probs. I'm at silver on all the other events tho. :( I want to shift early so I won't get that wheel spin.

It pains a Hoonigan like me to say this but smoothness is everything.

No :

GTP: The artificial intelligence of the other drivers, will that see any changes or improvements in GT6?

KY: “Like the sounds, that is something that we’re rebuilding for GT6. It won’t be the same as GT5.

“In addition to the things we’ve already announced, like the new rendering engine, the new physics, suspension, and handling modeling, the AI and the sound simulation is something that we are working on.

“As with pretty much everything in the game, we are going back to the basics and rebuilding it. We don’t know when the results of all that effort will come out yet, but of course, it’s not going to be the same as GT5.

“I know there were some rumors that the sound for GT wasn’t recorded with the engine under load. That was actually true until GT4 was produced, but for GT5 all of the sounds that we’ve taken were from cars that were on a dynamometer and placed under load.

“That’s not the whole of the problem, though, and obviously that’s not good enough for GT6 and for the future. We’ve been working on a new system for generating sounds for a few years now, we just haven’t made that breakthrough yet, and we’re still working. That’s what we’re aiming for – to make that breakthrough – so that we have something of a high quality to show.

“In terms of physics we were able to show that, but for sound simulation, not yet.”

:)
 
Yeah, well, at least we other Americans didn't have a long ass flight to Silverstone...

:grumpy:


Edit -
I really don't get why they couldn't have given us something similar to what was given at E3. It's really disappointing.

And still haven't been able to download it.


GT Academy thing only, it's not actually a "demo" like what was shown at E3.
I'm pretty sure that this is as much of a demo that we will get unless they release GT6 Prologue

:ouch:

The full game is coming in 3 or 4 months (supposedly). There is no reason to think they would release a prologue at this point.
 
Cockpit view is bad at it was in GT5! dirve a PC game and look how good the cockpit view there is (the cockpit view driving feeling)!!!!!
Bumper view is destroyed now too, instate that the car vibrate over the ground waves the track vibrate over it, lol, after 1,2 hour driving u lose ur eyes, playing this over months and u will destroy ur eyes!
Game is not really different to GT5, physiks are somewhere between an acarde and simrace but not a pure simulation!
It doesnt matter for me, i have not much time to play :-)
 
Hi,
did anyone notice,that the driver got a new Racingsuit inluce new cloves from alpinestars ? Last time it was always Racingsuit´s from Sparco.

I'm sure he didn't mean it like THAT.

We heard it here first: GT is turning into a beast that's kind of like, but not really like, the NFS Shift series.

👍
Good catch!
 
People in the US complaining on waiting for the demo, just make an EU account, log onto the EU store, download, enjoy.

I'll give the same answer to your same post on the news thread - you cannot compare PC and console games in all fairness - you are aware of the huge disparity in graphics fidelity, processing speeds, RAM and just about everything else?
 
This might have already been answered (I'm on the android app and can't find it), but are there any confirmed prizes for GT5 or GT6 from the Academy demo?
