Hybriding has been a part of the GT experience for almost as long as the series has been out. It adds fun and longevity to the game for a lot of us that are tired of the stock game. When Game Genie and pro action replay were out there wasn't this much hate for hybrids. Now that the user can do this on their own now all of a sudden the sky is falling and something should be done about this ASAP. I see nothing wrong with hybrids and don't see why PD should waste time implementing a way to block the users ability to do this on a game they paid for.
The problem is that the lot of you who are tired of the game ruins it for everyone else. The sky is falling in because once people start manipulating cars, it ruins the credibility of online racing. If some people are having access to other tuning options than everyone else, it's not fair play anymore.
The view that modding can be done in a responsible way relies on the assumption that all people are always honest, especially when competing against others. I don't believe in that. Most people have a sense for fair play, but as soon as someone starts using modding to get an advantage in online racing, other people will go the same way, and in the end it's going to be impossible to compete online without having modded cars.
You are bored with the game and you take the matters into your own hand and in the effort of making it fun for yourself you're ruining it for everyone who is not tired of it. You're not the only one who payed for the game, you know. And you certainly don't own the rights to the game, so what makes you think that you have the freedom of doing whatever you want with it, regardless of how it affects other players?
If Sony does not put and end to it, GT6 will become a modded game pretty soon after release and that will ruin it completely. I sincerely hope that they follow their own policy strictly and permanently ban accounts that are using modded cars. They should give a warning and a few days to give everyone a chance to delete their modded cars, but then they should unleash the ban-wave.
If you as a gamer want to play a game that is open for modding, it's not (yet) Gran Turismo.
All these complaints about cheating and I know everyone at one point has used UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT SELECT B A START. Its apart of gaming and you will never not cheat so live with it. Realistic hybribs are fun. The GTP drift community has embraced these hybrids and are creating some beautiful cars that we have been wanting since the release
It's one thing to use cheat codes that are built in with the game and meant to be used for whoever wants to. It's a completely different thing to go in an alter the files of a game, especially in a context where a big part of the game is about online competition. Realistic hybrids may be fun, but where do people draw the line? Should modding only be available to drifters? How do we make sure that happens? There's no way of doing that, so the only solution must be to ban it altogether.
There are people who use this to cheat, I've seen it, just like everyone else. But I don't see the harm in driving a 1000hp STi for myself. Most cars are too weak fully tuned compared to what they could get to in previous GTs. No more 1000hp R34s. But that changed and I'm fine with it.
There is no harm if you drive it for yourself or in free run lobbies. But the problem is not about that, the problem is that there is no way of keeping modded cars out of online races.
