Thanks for the detailed explaination. Let me simplify all the other responses I made about chicanes into 2 separate bullet points...

- I don't care why chicanes exist and what their purpose is.
- I hate chicanes and tend to dislike tracks that have chicanes and that will never change.

  • I don't care that you hate chicanes and choose to remain ignorant (assuming by "don't care" you mean "don't care to know")
  • I think chicane design should be treated the same way as any other (set of) corner(s).

Samus: I hate arbitrary definitions. How quick is "quick"? Ascari probably doesn't count, but it is a chicane in the literal, pop / common-sense definition offered previously (which makes no mention of quickness of succession, because a chicane doesn't strictly have to be a succession of anything, by "definition").

machschnel: Yes, that's the point.

How very presumptuous of you to assume I am ignorant on the subject of chicanes:tdown: I know why they exist and I don't like them. That makes me ignorant?
 
Can you guys take this to PM's if it must continue? This is not News and it barely is a Discussion anymore...

EDIT: Someone go make a "Chicane or Chican't" thread if they warrant this much back 'n forth.

Artificial means not natural. The word natural can have several meanings. In this sense, it means making a turn that is not where the track would naturally go.

The only way a course has chicanes as part of it's original design is if there are multiple layouts of the track, and some include the chicanes and some don't. If the track always goes through those corners and always has gone through those corners, it is not a chicane.

It's not uncommon for people to refer to a quick left/right or right/left corner set as a chicane, but this can be incorrect in some situations.

So you're telling me the Veedol Schikane is not a chicane? Ditto with the Glenvarigill Chicane at Knockhill?

It's not so simple. Montreal, Monaco and Pau have included chicanes in their original designs without alternate routes. Perhaps the definition of a chicane is not consistent with how it is used in contemporary motorsports talk, and even then the usage is not consistent. As i understand it, the word is usually understood as referring to a set of corners that have the primary role of slowing the cars down without drastically changing the direction of the circuit, and it's usually a sharp quick right/left or left-right or even a right/left/right or left/right/left in practice. They are usually added later to a circuit to enhance circuit safety, but certainly not always and not always as an alternate route either.

First Impressions: Taking Gran Turismo 6 for a Test Drive on PS3
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013...taking_gran_turismo_6_for_a_test_drive_on_ps3

GT6 is looking to be very good. 👍 Everyone assumes GT6 is what GT5 should've been (which is okay imo), because in ways, that's similar to GT1 & GT2, GT3 & GT4.

Well, except GT1 and GT3 were complete products day 1. Being the game 2010 should've got, at the end of 2013, after both next-gen systems launch, puts GT6 in a completely unique situation compared to anything so-far seen in the franchise.

Oh yeah, I forgot those two games were complete unlike GT5. :P
 
I'll probably get laughed out of GTPlanet for asking this question but here goes.

Does this Nissan GT Academy ad from this weeks Autosport look like a real car or something from an upcoming video game? I can't decide whether it's a computer generated car model or an heavily edited photo

Oh wow, I can't even tell. It looks like a video game, but at the same time it looks like real life. 0.0

GT7 on PS4 perhaps? lol.
 
It's not from a game engine that's for sure.

I think it is an HDRI image, gives it that "game like" look.

Only other option would be a really good rendering from a 3D computer program (not real time, not a game).
 
Looks "rendered", well game engine/dev kit rendering - photo mode etc
Unbiased 3D renderers can do a much better job, certainly the ones I play around with :)

real life sunlight at the time of the day is much more intense

ie renders

You may have to explain that one to me, I don't get it.

In the South - Kentucky Tennessee, Alabama (lived there), Georgia (Coke is from Atlanta), Mississippi, every soft drink is "Coke". Because Coke is king and so are the damned Atlanta Braves. Just as in jolly old England, every vacuum cleaner is a "Hoover". Or the common term for a snot rag is a "Kleenex". Using a specific term or brand generically.

In the south we have Coke and if its not Coke then it's just a Pop.
 
God damn, that Koenigsegg looks so sweet. Is it an Agera or Agera R? Wouldn't it be nice if it becomes available in GT6 lol. Anyways, is any GTPlanet member at the Bathurst 1000? Are PD & Turn 10 there showing off their versions of Bathurst with booths have been set up for the people to try them out?

Being from New Jersey it was called soda, so moving to the south hearing it called "pop" was a surprise to me. When asked if I wanted some pop, I thought it was some kind of drug! :ouch: I know, this is off topic. I hope we see that youtube Nismo GTR in gt6. Will be only my 3rd gt game Ive owned. GT5 and GT4 being the others.
 
My guess on the YouTube GTR is rendered. The tow strap on the back right of the bumper looks flat and has no shape to it. The shader on the tires is a bit too flat, and the rear tire seems to get too much light on it in a weird area. The canards on the front bumper seem a bit flat too. Not really buying the shading on the spoiler either.
 
DaveTheStalker
And I'm a hieratic for being mad that this sort of thing is not available to all regions. Yeah, OK.

What, you mean the two 15th anniversary cars that are already bundled in the Gamestop garage of 15th anniversary cars?
