I have finally acquired a ps3, which leads to my next course of action.... purchasing gt6. I have gt5 currently, and will play that faithfully as well. I can't wait, despite the limitless negative news I have seen, to play it. So perhaps I will join in on this thread's negativity, just for fun.

In spite of it's flaws, there is still lots of enjoyment to be had in GT6 if you focus on the driving experience, especially on the newer tracks and with a wheel. Any car on Bathurst, the full Nurb, Ascari (2nd favourite track now) any Matterhorn and many others on stock rubber is a joy. Brake feedback is tremendous, as is the sound feedback you get from the tires if you have a decent surround system with front and rear speakers. Strap in and enjoy:cheers:

The Alpine (premium one) on snow is a life changing experience.

I bought a surround sound set up for GT5 Prologue, but that game's 5.1 was rubbish & very buggy, not used it since. You've just inspired me to set it up & try it out again for GT6.


:D
 
Anyone else experienced these isues?

I played GT6 last night for the 1st time in about 2 months online with my mates and when i selected a car and went into car settings only to find the car had been reset to default and by that i mean all tunning parts i bought had gone and i had to buy them again, same thing happened to my friend at the same time, Anyone else had this happen? i cant remember the other issue i wanted to bring up now.

That course looks epic...great sense of speed too...we can only dream..and the sounds...:bowdown:

The first minute (and more) of this video gives you a good idea of how far they have to go as wel...

That's just beautiful! I never played with that Lotus, I'm gonna do it now.

I especially love this attitude. Buy a $70 game, drop $250 on a wheel, a $G on big screen, several $G's on a sound system, spend a few hours building my own rig so I can...wait for it...WORK to earn credits. Absolute genius there.

I play the game to get away from anything that even remotely resembles work. Silly me, I thought that was the purpose of PLAYING a GAME.

Which is structured around the idea of you racing to earn money to buy cars. It'd be like wanting to PLAY the GAME of football/soccer but complaining because you can't touch the ball with your hands. The amount of money you've spent is irrelevant: this kind of experience's what you paid for, you don't like it? Shame's on you for dumping money on it in the first place.

That's the kind of attitude that makes the "whining and crying" thread undeservedly one of the most popular in the GT (or in any other game's forums) section; the idea that as a paying customer you get any say in the basic philosophy of the product, a weird phenomena that reached its peak with the "retake Mass Effect" movement but is strong in any community. No, you're just entitled to pretend it works as expected and to decide whenever it's worth the money for you or not.

And before you come at me saying this is a "legitimate complaint": no, it isn't. Complaining about the several annoying glitches is. Wondering why for the love of all that's holy they removed photo locations that were more detailed than those that we have now, for example, would be legitimate. But this I can't accept as "legitimate". There's plenty of games out there that don't ask you to WORK to earn credits; GT always worked this way, and will likely keep working this way forever.

Except for the fact that you no longer have to WORK to earn credits ie. microtransactions, in GT6. So if Polyphony no longer feel the need to follow tradition, why should we?

GT always did work that way, but it certainty doesn't anymore.

Yeah, microtransactions kind of make the whole "GT always worked this way [grinding for credits] argument and will work this way forever" argument. Epic burn really...Clyde really has egg on his face now:lol:

I've got a new one to add - supposedly "500pp" races that have cars blatantly over that limit that get stupid ten second leads on the first lap. Even when you enter cars of exactly 500 it's only just possible and even then you have to pass the lead car at EXACTLY the right time to win.

And to the guy bitching about economy cars being in the game. Perhaps Burnout is more your scene.

I find it to be the exact opposite, to actually have a decent race that I do not win by a lap I have to find a car around 100 - 150pp lower than the race and then lower my tires, only then can I have a close race that I don't just cruise past every car until I get to the front.

The fact that they added MTs as a quick buck for them (and a shortcut for those who have the money and lack the brains) doesn't change the basic game mechanics. Unless you want to pay to win, you race with slower cars until you have the money to afford faster cars, and race with those fast cars to get the money to buy other similar cars that you like.

The game doesn't compel you, at any point, to buy credits with real money. As a matter of fact, the store is kinda out of the way.

And besides, back in the PS2 era you could have used an Action Replay to get unlimited credits. Does that change how GT works? Yeah, didn't think so.
 
Has anyone noticed the FPS drop in cockpit view?
I have a Logitech G25 and i can't play on other views. Anyone else experienced this?

No its not, The equivelant would be like buying a football game and having to grind with one team in order to earn credits to be able to use another team, The problem is to buy the cars one may want you have to bore yourself to death and thats not how a game should be, Bottom line is PD have made no effort in making career mode an enjoyable experience for gamers
 
I think a few problems could be rectified if GT was rebranded.

GT does a fairly poor job of being a "game" - instead, I have been playing it as if it is a sandbox, where I can do whatever I please. I don't race because I want to race offline (Grid 2 on the other hand...). I race because I want to earn money to buy a race car for a series I'm running on here.

All cars should be available from the start. Or at least offer a reasonably-priced paid pass that grants me access to them.

I agree, Outside of career mode you should have all cars available to you so you can go online or just enjoy the cars, The problem is i had little reason to play this game after i got bored before i even got halfway through IB, Now i have 500 cars that i want and i still have little reason to play it unless my mates are online, Its just too much of the same as GT5 in all the places GT5 fell down.

I'll tell what else i found that is annoying that i have found with having 500 cars, If i want to select a Ferrari or say a car from sweden i have to scroll down through every manafacture to get there and it takes ages if say you want to paint all your Ferrari's in one go, Countries should be colapsable which would speed things up, Of course PD arent open to suggestions so we can only hope they actually play the game one day and get pissed off with all its quirks so it gets sorted

No, it's just one of the seemingly ubiquitous bugs/glitches present in Gran Turismo games. Polyphony didn't intend their game to work that way, they wanted you to work for credits. Now, they will happily except money instead. In that case, what's wrong with the money I used to purchase the game?

I'm leaving this video here just to show how much Gran Turismo must improve in order to redeem itself.

Man, look at that. :bowdown: PD attempted some rally bits in previous GT games but basically abandoned any attempt at rally racing in GT6. I'd give anything to have this sort of thing in the GT games.. that looks SO FUN!! :drool:
