I found the UCD to be quite stressful. Like if a car showed up and three was no way I could get the money for it in time. So in a way, I'm pretty happy it's gone.

I liked it because thats how life works with second hand cars! I have been looking for a BNR32/BCNR33 to buy in real life for the last 6 months and i can't find one that fits my needs.

The way it was implemented in GT5 was kinda bad, but the Used Car Dealer is a very important aspect of every good GT game. I think we can have both options: a new car dealer where you can buy whatever car, anytime for a higher price and an used car dealer with high mileage cars, worn, etc.

GT3 didn't have a used car dealership and the start money only allowed you to choose from a very small number of cars. Just saying.

Yes, I know :) And it was bad because of that imho. The short content and the lack of an used car dealer is the worst thing about it. Then GT4 came and, it was marvelous.

Something really worried me about an embargo until game release day. This often times indicates a less than spectacular game. (Most publishers and developers want good reviews before release as to guarantee more sales. No reviews until sale day sometimes indicates the publishers/debs being unhappy or expecting negative reviews)

I've seen it happen many times and it almost always ends up bad. I truly hope this game is good, otherwise I'm out of racing games to play! :P

Here is how review embargoes work; they are controlled by marketing and nearly every game has them by default and even metacritic puts a block on user reviews being posted until release.

The exception is if the primary review outlets (IGN, gamespot, etc ) give the publisher a heads up on the review score (yes, the publishers do know scores and sometimes get full reviews before release, good or bad). Then the publisher will choose to allow the reviews to be published based if the review scores. If they are in or around the 90s as this generates more buzz... So they lift the embargo. But it also allows other reviews to be posted but metacritic has a weighting system so the marketeer is assuming the average will be strong.

This isn't a hard and fast rule btw, its optional and does require effort and press releases to lift the embargo.

Otherwise by default all games reviews are embargoed.

Its easy to deduce that someone is hiding something but its by default when in fact it's really the opposite. If reviews are beyond publisher expectations then they get busy lifting the embargo.

Some publishers simply don't do it and just stick to the default. So there is no grand conspiracy. Lifting an embargo is breaking the rules and even pisses off other publishers that are launching games in the same window as it steels attention from other new releases.

In summary, lifting an embargo is effort and has collateral effects. It's far easier no mater how good or bad a game is to not lift it.

And like all things subjective, there are strange examples the contradict the rule but I assure you there is no conspiracy. This applies to all games.
 
But in GT3 you couldn't buy most of the cars, most had to be won. Which is more rewarding when you get the car you've been looking for. I don't know how GT4 is, I never got it to work on my PS2.

True, but it's not like your going to be stuck with the FIT for ages though.

Unless the livery editor gets unlocked later in the game, there is no livery editor at the moment.

I'll just say you'll be bombarded with questions about the game for the next couple of days. Please take your time in playing it and do please let us know your thoughts on all the elements we don't know about.

Thanks in advance.

Slow down there. It isn't yours.

If you want a broken game, stick with GT5.

No no, it's not yours either amigo. It's all down to personal preferences. Take it easy you too.

Used cars are used cars. Can't be bought new. :)

That's what I've learned in 15 years of GT. It's part of the game that I know and in my personal preference and together with a lot of people, I don't want it to be changed. But, I'm not that heavy critical and if it changed, I'll still buy, play and love the game anyway 👍 because there's so many good points that one or two bad points won't break the game for me.

But there's some people around that would kill themselves because of one bad point...

If I got invited to a track, was given a car, I would drive the heck out of it... No matter what it was...

Heck, I'm racing a 99 Subaru wagon next weekend at Infineon... That certainly wouldn't be my first choice but I was offered the seat...

I agree with you mate, it's all about personal preferences. But I guess that everyone agrees that searching for a car on Used Car Dealer was nice, as we would never know what was for sale...
For me, searching cars combined perfectly with my big imagination, like finding a 205 T16, and imagine that it was once a Group B car, converted to a road spec...it all makes part of your imagination, and seriously, all true "petrolheads" have a very big imagination! :D

I think that one big thing that Gran Turismo presented us in big scale was car ownership. The "car life" or "carpg" game elements where you had to search for a cheap and good used car, buy it and race with it. Build your history with it.

And for me, finding cars with too low mileage represented a well maintained used car, a keeper, a good deal :) at the same time as finding a 300.000km+ VW Beetle is what I considered authentic, a car with history. A car that been through a lot.

That's very important to me. All due to imagination? Yeah, the game was funnier for me. I seriously HATE those full pc sims elements: choose a car and race. Period.

That's soulless.

Imho, buying a car like a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing should be a rare thing. It should be very special, a bit like it was on Test Drive Unlimited. They not always had the car, then you needed to reserve it and then they sent you a message when it was available.

I didn't said it's mine either.

But this "other games putting stupid ideas" on GT. Come on, without other games, GT won't evolve. In the same way, other games don't bring anything new without a juggernaut like GT every couple years.

And I don't see people killing themselves about bad things. What I see are fans criticizing key points that GT is lagging behind.

Criticizing is an important step on every product cycle. If we just eat anything with a smile in our face, we probably would get a GT6 without any kind of damage.

I remember Kaz saying, before GT5, that "we put some sort of damage just because people asked for it". Otherwise, we won't get it.

When you hear a very strong and nice engine roaring in GT6, or even 7, a very nice personal livery, a challenging online series, remember your suicide fellows. They made it happen for you.

But, no worries. let's move on. That other thread where the guy have the game will deliver big time. See you there!

Me and some friends usually have good races in the 450pp range. Let's see how things are in GT6 first!

Cooperation in the vehicle tuning with KW and Yokohama
This can also be a Honda Jazz inflate to over 200 hp or equip with a sports suspension.The possibilities seem endless."When tuning, we have worked together with the specialists of KW and Yokohama to specifically replicate changes to the suspension and the tires realistically." We go straight to the slopes.

The race takes place on the fictional "Autumn ring" instead. This route has existed since the first edition of theGTseries. graphical development impressed. Where in the first part went through even one pixel heap as a tree now grows a detailed oak from the floor. Go to a flying start - the Gran Turismo should occur connoisseurs known I drive in the cockpit view..

In Gran Turismo 6 there are detailed cockpits for all cars
In the previous it was only for a fraction of the more than 1,000 vehicles a detailed driver's workplace ("premium cars"). "In Gran Turismo 6 almost all fittings are exactly the models match" Marco mouth says, beaming.Also the yellow Jazz looks from inside like the original.

The first curve is approaching.I turn the steering wheel to the right to throw the Japanese with momentum into the first corner.Understeer in the offing and the realization that the steering was probably chosen to be very optimistic.Round one I spend half the gravel and relegated to last place.You quickly get used to the handling of the front-wheel drive, the second round is more fluid.In the last turn I passed with a daring maneuver the leaders.

"We have improved the artificial intelligence significantly. On the higher difficulty levels the leading driver is usually very quick, but also the other pilots creep not like on a string pulled through the course. You're driving from now on the Hardest Difficulty professional. That's just right for you specialists "jokes Marco mouth.

Drivability for the Corvette C7 something too nervous
Since it is about time to let the professionals also right behind the wheel."TheCorvetteC7 was too nervous despite sport tires on the rear axle, that was not so bad during the test last month, "complainsautosporttest driver Uwe Sehner grinning after a lap time of 8:12 minutes in the Eifel. Hectic countersteering becomes here one to unintentionally frequented activity carried out along the lines of "Why so hectic, Uwe?".The steering response is a little too ragged by expert testimony, the vehicle in the center position of the steering wheel nervously.By shutting screws of steering sensitivity, the problem could be alleviated, not be entirely eradicated.

About a lack of closeness to reality one can hardly complain otherwise: especially when driving on the 20.83 km long Nordschleife is noticeable that the position of individual trees beside the asphalt Graffiti - keyword: large larch in the Caracciola Carousel - has been simulated.Then there are the day and night cycles, and provide for unique mood.Fast to get in front as the 24-hour race.Only the cockpit lighting could be turned on a little earlier at sunset, here it is in places already badly shaded.Nevertheless, it is a joy to rush through the "Green Hell" in the glaring spotlight.

37 places and 100 track layouts in Gran Turismo 6
The track selection is not limited to the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.Criticism GT5 consisted, among other reasons one because there were too few original tracks.New additions to the GT6 package - excerpts -., The Silverstone circuit and located in the desert of California "Willow Springs Raceway" Even the "Ascari Race Track" in Andalusia, originally the playground of a Dutch billionaire, is on the list of the seven new venues.

In addition to asphalt, there's again the popular rally courses on sand and snow, such as "Chamonix" or "Tuscany".Worldwide wait 37 race tracks in different versions waiting to be explored.So you get to around 100 different slopes.

GPS tracking and virtual analysis of the driven round
New delivered after the release via update option will be to record a lap by GPS tracking with your own, real vehicle and subsequently transfered in Gran Turismo 6.Thus, the selected line can be analyzed and the own style of driving are virtualized - that sounds very interesting times.Colleagues Gebhardt, read with?

GT6 is only for savvy professionals?Wrong: Driving aids such as a racing line, braking assistance, traction control, anti-slip and much more to help beginners to conjure up almost immediately a fast lap time on the tarmac.

Vehicle sounds unfortunately too lax in GT6
Our time with Gran Turismo 6 coming to an end.With all the hype about the gigantic number of cars, the endless tuning options and the improved driving physics: The biggest flaw on the predecessor was similar and very weak sound of the engines.Unfortunately, things have not changed in the sixth part little that can other racing games better.Also tucking in the band sounds more like a toppling sheet metal trash can as after a serious collision.

Despite these criticisms Gran Turismo 6 is a terrific racing simulation with high Allure potential.Specifically, the higher levels of difficulty, requiring perfect driving, motivate immensely to find the last half Sekündchen the perfect lap."Stop it, I need to train station," citing me Marco mouth from the simulator.

The last round Nordschleife I graduate inSubaruBRZ GT after dusk - both in-game, as well as in us - in 7:48 minutes: daily record.Then, the simulator is degraded and GT6 packed.The farewell reminds me just as hard as the bringing in of the frame.That would Sony along with the best Gran Turismo all times can be here too.

If the thing about the cockpits is true, I'm going to faint... Please anyone, release me from the burden of darkness and show me a standard cockpit, if only one. Just one!!!!! AAAAAARGHHHH!!! (bangs head on table) :drool::drool::drool::drool: It is literally the only thing I could wish to get in GT6!

" In Gran Turismo 6 there are detailed cockpits for all cars "

hmmm...surely that must be a mistake right ?... i am, of course, hoping against all hope that it is entirely correct and not mis-translated or something. What joy of joys that would be :)
