I raced a lot yesterday in The '67 GT 40, and the Ferrari Dino.. Gotta say, I wish all the MR cars handled as nicely as the Dino. That is on MR car that is done properly. GT 40 is drivable, but also has some snap oversteer tendencies after catching a drift or slide.. it wants to snap in the opposite direction as if the rear tires suddenly were up in the air or something.. Other than that it was fun.

Yeah, nearly everything seems to be really well balanced below 500pp...
 
Nice to see that we have no new seasonal events this week for gt6 while there are 2 new time trials for gt5 this morning. I've never seen another game where the last version gets more new content after the new one is released. Oh well, I guess it's a good thing I've got no time to play the game this week anyway, but does anyone wonder why gt6 is already in the psn sale and half price on amazon?

New firmware for PS3. Someone find a way to spin that into GT6 news.

PS3 needs new firmware to cope with the amazing new Spanish track being released in February on GT6? Because its so amazing like ;)

(no one reply to this post - I know it's total bollocks but it's the reply Devil240Z wanted lol)

Good stuff.
Through intensive strength training I managed to gain a bit of weight,” she said.“The additional job as an instructor for the Audi driving experience was helpful too as it gave me regular driving practice.“I’ve watched many onboard videos in preparation for Bathurst and really played the PlayStation (Mount Panorama game) a lot.”

What's an "MR paddle"?

The game "Pong" consists of an abstract version of table tennis, or ping pong, or whatever the kids are calling it in the 1970s.

Thus, you have a paddle and your opponent has a paddle, which you control with joysticks. A large portion of the skill in the game, as with the real game it's inspired by, is getting used to the movement of the paddles and how that affects the trajectory of the "ball". The ball generally speeds up as a particular play progresses, also.

The joke fed from the statement that Pong is considered "perfect", in response to the idea that games will always have flaws. Of course, Pong doesn't even have a livery editor, and the sounds haven't changed in 40 years. But the real travesty is that the MR paddles are uncontrollable!

... ruined.

Not sure either, £20 on amazon, does make you wonder.. no dlc yet and no sound update, Redbull challenge late...

So you're saying there were new free cars for GT5 after December 6th?
Definitely gonna look it up 👍

Jokes aside, I think it's great they still support GT5. Shows how PD still (kinda) thinks about those who hesitate about transfering to GT6. After 5 dies in May, I think that's gonna be the time after which we'll see a lot more stuff coming at us.

Probably, in a future update maybe.

Sorry, I meant to make my post specific to this week where the only confirmed news and new content we seemingly have relating to gran turismo relates to new events in gt5. Next week i'm hoping will be better for gt6 players :) I haven't blitzed through gt6 so I still have lots left to do, but I can understand that others might have nothing new left in the career mode and if they don't play online then they have to recycle content this week. I've no doubt that behind the scenes PD are working hard on gt6 content this week and I do love the game, but it was frustrating to read the news page this morning and find the gt5 events at the top.

I'm really looking forward to that new 27km track, and have enjoyed the new concept cars, so please don't take me to be a moaning Minnie :)
 
Maintenance doesn't mean it will be an update or DLC.... ;)

Scheduled maintenance takes place in the early hours over here, not late morning or the afternoon.

I predict something. Or nothing. Especially if it is just the website under maintenance.:sly:
 
I have a funny feeling that the track will be released on Valentine's day so that all the men play on it instead of getting their woman a present :P
 
Here are a few general musings of mine for general discussion...

I began my International A journey last night. Because I was certain I needed a capable race car, I did the World Circuit Tour in a Lamborghini Diablo GT2. I took my chances. I ended up winning all five races. What surprised me was just that I thought I was probably going to run away with every race. Granted my opposition was mostly rally cars and high-end touring cars, it would be crazy to say a Lamborghini would be at the same level as these cars; but unfortunately, it was! The biggest problem I faced was trying to keep the Diablo GT2 stable. At some point, I knew the back end would snap on me and induce me into a spin. This was especially true racing the Brands Hatch GP and Daytona Road Course tracks. I had to restart the race several times at the Daytona round because I knew I can win if this car doesn't snap on me. I eventually bought racing-spec parts for this *race car* to actually be a... well, race car. I even adjusted brake balance. Maybe my biggest accomplishment was in erasing a 25-second deficit at the Spa-Francorchamps round of the World Circuit Tours in the final two laps to win. And at the Ascari round, I overcame another huge deficit and won on a track I am inexperienced at. Previously, I had the McLaren F1 GTR Base Model; but I sold it because I wanted to make enough money to buy the 2.8M Credit Ford GT40 for the Classic Muscle Car Series and eventually used that same car for the Classic Supercar Festival.

When I think of the races in Gran Turismo 6, I like to think the events are the length of GT5's A-Spec races but with the stringent regulations of GT5's B-Spec races. The fight is more fair in GT6 than in GT5. Even with races that seem easy, at least many of these races in GT6 are more fair than most races in GT5.

More races can use the time and weather variables. I went to a few tracks that are time variable. I was intrigued to visit Twin Ring Motegi Road Course after seeing several demo loops of Twin Ring Motegi Road Course being raced on later in the day. I took on this track at night as part of a Time Trial using a "Courtesy Car"- the BMW M3 GTR. I honestly want to imagine all (or most) tracks eventually having weather effects and time effects for a complete experience. I honestly envisioned the possibility of maybe racing Grand Valley as a 1000km race or even a 24-hour race. I want to imagine old school Deep Forest Raceway- racing that track at sunset or the late evening. Tokyo R246 at night. A rainy afternoon around Trial Mountain. Maybe let's see Special Stage Route 5 in the daytime. With the sun glare and the sparkly effects at night, I am reminded to a great extent of Enthusia Professional Racing with the sparkles and light effects.


I still am impressed and happy playing GT6 as of this point.
 
@Griffith500, early versions of pong had two potentiometers, one per player, just scrolling potentiometer to control paddle.
Still remember first game sessions with it. Also those unbelievable moments with space intruder.. Still "worm" was first game what ever played, loaded from few card decks to "big computer". :)
 
I just got a GT6 birthday car! A Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR, very nice.
Now I might put GT5 in to see what he has for me.

Edit: I didn't get around to playing GT5 until just before midnight, by the time it loaded, the calendar had rolled over and no gift was given :( . In GT6 I believe the system will still give you a car even if you are a day or two late.

Just watched the Kaz movie. We're playing POKEMON GT. Gotta collect 'em all.
And another thing. Our bonus cars should be the camera cars they filmed the circuits with. I mean, they spent most of their time in those cars when photographing. Only seems right to include them in the game.
