GT5 was flawed, but I still considered it to be a great game. Whether GT6 delivers a similar or different experience to is predecessor, I personally think it will be great as long as it runs smoothly.

I think the Sony/PD PR machine would've showered us with much more details about all aspects of the game if they thought it would be great. The lack of such information points to a decent, maybe very good game at best, but not great. Anything we haven't already heard of regarding the AI, A-spec, livery editor probably means these haven't changed much (or at all) from GT5.

I hope I'm wrong, but it's not looking that way.

I think the timing of GT6 has a lot to do with that. The Sony PR machine is completely tied up with the November launch of PlayStation 4, which is a lot more vital to the future of the company than the performance of GT6.

GT6 sells itself, for the most part. It has a huge built-in fanbase that doesn't require a lot of convincing in order to get them to make a purchase. As long as people know the game is out there, Sony knows it'll be fine sales-wise.

I would expect a marketing blitz after the PS4 launch, but nothing major. GT6 money is pretty much gravy for Sony at this point.
 
My prediction is that the improved sounds will not be ready at release, but patched in a month or two later. If there is to be a livery editor, i get the feeling we'll have to wait for a spec update in 12 months time. Some extra track models might even get weather patched in during the first few months. Everything else should be on the disc and to a very high standard.

While i'm not as excited for 6 as i was for it's predecessor, I am cautiously optimistic.
 
Lets see....

GT1: Great Game!
GT2: Great Game!
GT3: Great Game!
GT4: Great Game!
GT5: Great Game!
GT6: ... hmmm?
 
Dont think it will be great, Im worried on AI, Sounds and PS2 cars still on track when im racing. Im also worried with it going up against Forza 5 it's going to seem very dated (AI,graphics & sound)

It's on a different generation console, you can't take them head to head.

People keep saying this, and I have no idea why. They come out at nearly the same time; folks will be comparing them. Especially with the lack of racing titles on PS4.

If the situation were reversed and GT6 were launching on new hardware while its competitors stayed on the last generation, I can't imagine people would be quick to make excuses for the latter there.

If it was the other way around you still could not compare them. (I don't see the diffenrence, dispite being biased towards Sony)

You are right that people will compare them, but it's not a fare comparison.
To me it's like comparing image quality of two dvd players. And for one you use an HDMI cable and for the other one SCART.
 
GT6 is going to be hard to judge for some due to the way they play GT now. We really have no information on what GT6 has to offer besides what has been given. Expectations are high though don’t let them get too high. We all know too well what the expectations of GT5 had only to find out it was nothing more than a revamped GT5 Prologue.
 
If it follows the 'pattern' main-title GT releases have, as shown below, Maybe.

GT1: Good PS1
GT2: Great PS1
GT3: Good PS2
GT4: Great PS2
GT5: Good PS3
GT6: Great PS3 (In theory)

It will depend on PD's ability to make the 'monthly DLC', worth-while DLC and not just fixes for the millions of bugs their sure to have. As well as GT6's infrastructure and UI being well-designed, not just "working", and A Lot of other things I no longer have energy to rant-on about.

Sorry but the sounds ruin it for me. I can't immerse myself with that horrible engine noise.

This and it's very likely that we won't get to hear anything groundbreaking till GT8, so thanks but no thanks, waiting that long for something that others have been doing 10x better since the past decade is just unacceptable.

And that's why Kaz said him and PD are working on it to be added via update. :sly:

For the first point: perhaps you wouldn't. Others would though.

If it's not a fair comparison, perhaps there should never be comparisons between any two systems, even from the same generation, then; after all, they're not identical. Of course, that sounds silly.

My point is this; if I walk into a game store come December, and I see a GT6 demo and any other next-gen racing game being demo'd too, I'm going to compare them. PD sticking to PS3 shouldn't give it an automatic pass on being compared to its contemporaries. The new Corolla is still on an ancient platform that doesn't cut it against the newer cars in its class; reviewers aren't judging it to lower standards simply because Toyota didn't want to invest in a new platform.

Also a good point.
Tit seems there is simething to be said for both points then. 👍
 
I don't think it's going to be great until they actually start from scratch again. There is a lot of be improved, even though I haven't even played it. 1200 cars are irrelevant if they're from PS2, and still look the part. Until they apply all the new features, in addition to more that haven't been considered even to this point and figure out what cars are necessary or the more efficient way to model all of the relevant cars from the past 5 games and keep up with the most up to date, it's always going to feel like something is missing.

Kaz said a livery editor was coming in 2006, he said GT5 could be released any time in 2009, so do excuse us if we don't take everything he says as gospel.

Yeah, alright. ^^' I'll just wait and see what happens in the future instead.
 
I´m not sure about this game really...I pre-ordered GT5 Signature Edition...this time I´ll wait till other people (from here) get it and then tell what they think.

I´ll get it soon after release for sure though. I love racing games and simulators in general...Gran Turismo is a "must have" for me.

I´m worried about those "possible future upgrades"...But if they can confirm that the new sounds will come, all features will be in the track editor, and a livery editor...I would not think so much about getting it at release maybe.
This is weird because I still will get it after all...It is like "you like the game and you don´t like the game" any more thanks to that mixed feeling about GT5...then the uncertain info about GT6...I feel that we won´t get "a 100% finished" product again.
That sucks.
 
I think if they can nail the track creator, it will be a triple A title. PD have been very quiet about it and my suspitions are because it's going to be the 'killer app' for the game. We already have a big selection of very good tracks, new and old, we already have a great selection of cars new and old. We know the graphical engine is improved and looking gorgeous and we know the physics have been upgraded and refined. The main thing that would keep a lot of players really happy would be an advanced course creator. I'm speculating that the terrain they will give us will be fixed but will contain fixed objects like roads, lakes, mountains, villages etc. We can select any route from that map to create a looping course or point to point. I think because it would be fixed and every player already has the same environment in the PS3 we could do online races and challenges there. It would possibly even give us a simple option to just drive around freely, like TDU for example.
 
Samus
Personally I don't get the excitement for a course maker, I will always prefer real tracks that I know.

I'm a big fan of old-fashioned rallying, and I tend to believe pace notes are cheating, so...
If they allow us to do long point-to-points, I'll be happy. There'll still be "traditional" circuits, as well.

Your way of playing isn't the only interesting, or relevant way, as I'm sure you appreciate. It's nice that my somewhat unusual tastes are being catered for to some small extent, and nobody else is really suffering for it: win-win?
S'gotta be close, at least.
 
I understand some people will like it and I was more talking about the tarmac track creation rather than rally courses. I'm just not sure why it's being lauded as a killer feature of the game by some.

I mean for me they don't work online because it's unfair to those that have never driven the course and offline well I refer to my original point, I'd much rather drive a track I know rather than learn a new custom track never to race it again.
 
I voted no, I just don't think PD have it in them to create a decent AI and I really don't care how good any other part of the game is, I already have 1 rather dull hot lapping simulator.

I sincerely hope they prove me wrong though.
