I'm going back to playing GT6 again, and hope it doesn't freeze my PS3.

I just realized what I'm missing from this game. Am I just not very observant any more?
In Oblivion and (to a lesser degree), Skyrim, it was there.
It was there in the Forza series.
But it's not jumping out at me in GT6 (or GT5 for that matter)!
I'm talking about tessellation and other obvious repetitions or patterns. I look at the grass, and don't see patterns. The sagebrush or whatever it is at Willow Springs appears to be made up of unique bushes, not the same bush repeated over and over in recognizable groups. When I look at peeling paint on walls or barriers, I'm not noticing any repeated pattern, while in the Forzas, these artifacts are obvious.
It just feels so much more natural!

Good point, there are a lot less repeated textures in GT6 than many other games, except for the crowds at Indy

The best thing about GT is that it is made for car enthusiasts and motorsport enthusiasts instead of just casual gamers like grid, forza, nfs and countless others are. It obviously has its flaws but the visuals, the driving experience and the massive amount of content make it perfect for anyone who loves cars and motorsport.

Yes, the crowds contain clones by the dozen. Somehow I can forgive that, and cloned trees. Tiled grass in other games really bothers me.

Most people complain about the the updates but I like it. It makes it like an interesting Beta game, looking foward to each update and addition of content to the game.
It gives me something to look foward to.

Almost finished GT6. The S-Events are all done, and now just three more events in IA than I'm home free!

It does sound great, but I'll refrain from embedding the celebratory M. Bison video until Zahara de la Sierra comes too.Next week is going to be AWESOME! Both the VW VGT and Senna content will be available, can't wait!

PD have done a lot of work on the small details, which aren't immediately apparent and so spawned the whole GT5.5 thing - now those are the people who aren't very observant, or maybe it doesn't matter to them.
True, as Samus mentioned, there are the Mulsanne trees and parts of the 'ring, but I would imagine due to the size of those tracks, an improvement there won't come until GT7. I'm basing that comment on the recent Drive Club interviews which talks of a million trees being modelled for the latest tracks in Canada.

Congratulations. I still doubt I'll get the platinum myself, even if it has been easier overall - perhaps I should spend more hours driving instead of taking so many photomode shots.Just 100% GT6, finally freedom is mine at last!!

Ahh, well in that case I'm pretty much there myself. I have done all of the races, just missing a drift coffe-break (I think.) I actually completed all of the races in GT5, so this isn't my first. In GT4, I didn't realise you could get the B-spec driver to cover for you on the 24hr enduros...silly me.Oh no it wasn't the trophies, but the game itself.

Maybe someone has already confirmed this, but remember when it was announced that the stars and such would reflect the current time of year - well, the variable time tracks also reflect the current sunrise/sunset times too.
I was running a test at Le Mans and wanted a night-time race for the photos, so I set the track to 23:00 and was surprised to see a touch of blue in the sky. At 22:00 it is still light

I'm very happy I wasn't a part of the discussion in that Senna thread, because things went ugly there. Also, that VW VGT trailer was good. MB and BMW! Why u no do dat!?

After years of this series going backwards in terms of gameplay and quality in general, i do think we can finally afford to praise PD at last for how they handled the Senna content 👍

I really feel that for the most part the content release dates are on schedule. Don't laugh. With GT5 scheduled to go off line this week it only makes sense that GT6 content would ramp up into full swing soon after. The Mitsubishi Vision car was a nice surprise. Looks like we'll get them all after all!

Well, I just had a series of very good races online, & I think I might've just found a substitute for Shuffle racing in the process too!
I was in a room called "350-500PP! Clean! Untuned!" & it had pretty much the same vibe as Shuffle racing, except that we were choosing our own cars of course. I think I'll be running some online lobbies of that sort fairly soon. It's taken me 6 months, but I think I'm now slowly starting to get into GT6, despite it's obvious flaws.
