Things You Want To See In GT6 Besides Vehicles and Tracks

I would like a more immersive experience. There is no point in having beautiful cars and beautiful tracks if you do not 'feel' like you are there, or that anybody else is there.
- terrible AI removes any feeling that you are racing other people - you feel on your own on the track, surrounded by unrealistic robots.
- no marshals waving flags makes you feel that the track is empty of control, not being policed. How do I know if a car has crashed ahead of me, or if I am about to be lapped by the leaders?
- no engine failures, tire blowouts, suspension failures makes you feel like you have been inserted into a fake world, where there is no risk beyond you crashing yourself. But then inaccurate damage removes any consequence of that crash anyway, so again there is an artificial feeling associated with that.
- a 3, 2, 1 countdown to a race start again makes you feel like you have been inserted into a fake world. Where are the red-green lights, or formula 1 style 5 red lights to indicate the off, the go, the start of the racing experience?
- rolling starts give you the feeling that you have just been inserted into the car, in a fantasy world. Where's the grid start, formation lap, tire/brake temperature building?
- An event where the first time you experience the car/track is from a 3, 2, 1 countdown..RACE! is not realistic. You need to practice a track. You need to build confidence in this 'place', with this car, and then go racing.
- Why am I starting last, or in the middle? Do I deserve that? Should I not have the chance to decide my own fate on where I start the race from? Should I not be rewarded for being faster than everyone else over 1 lap?
- Where is the dirt, and muck, and marbles and debris. The experience is too clean, too perfect, too unrealistic.
- I need to be realistically punished for my actions. Slowing my car down for 5 seconds when I cut a corner removes me from the realism, because that is not a real action in real life. I need to be black flagged, or take a drive through penalty.
- Where is my race engineer? Where is the expert to help me set up my car? Where is the guy who can explain the race strategy while I am driving?
- Why do I see so much information on screen? I would like to just see what gear I am in and my rev counter. Can I not just remove the rest of the information if I so please? Seeing times and gaps flashing up on screen with a 'blip' sound is not realistic.
- Why do I only see my gap to the leader when I am in 5th place? Surely my next move is to overtake the guy in 4th right? Where is (s)he? Am I closing in on him/her?

I don't like the slow down thing when you cut a corner , that's just to much regulation and we all know GT5 had way to much of that , even in Froza people hate when the car unrealistically slows down when going off the road or cutting a corner
Restrictions don't make a game fun nor do they make it harder ,,, it just pithes people off ,

Possibility to set a limited pack of tires for qualify and race, like in F1.
Tires what you have used a bit will stay as used, and if changed under again they are sane worn one's, few laps qualify and still good for several laps on race.

Na I say less tire Restrictions they went over board with that one in GT5 , There are better ways of making the game challenging then having more restrictions , restrictions don't make a game more challenging it makes it more of a PIA . Instead of restricting tires just make it so the tires you use could put your car in a different class

Make it so races are only restricted by class not Kilowatts or tires , like it is in forza , let the drive decided how to make their car right for the race ,,, lets face it Forzas way of leveling a car up is way more fair then GT's is ....

The driver should have the option of modifying their car for handling or power to put the car in the right class for the race or series . If impose restrictions and less options then no one will want to play the game , which is why I only play Forza 4 now

Forza 4 is all I can say .

Gran Trismo 5 was a waste of money and so will Gran Trismo 6 as they have not made one good change in the game .

In order to have the best racing simulator GT6 needed to copy Forza , and make their game similar , which they did not do .

As of now Forza 5 will be the best racing simulator and Gran Trismo 6 wont even come close .

Its to bad as many of us thought Polyphony would of seen what their competition was doing and copy their success and add features of their own , like give rally racing a more active role and getting ride of the B spec mode ( that was a total waste of a game no one wants to see their car just race around the track )

The thing they should of done is change the tuning perimeters so its like it is in Forza making it so you can totally change the setting with out limit . another thing Gran Trismo should of done was changed how the Cars are Classified , more like what is in Forza 4

Sorry to say but Gran Trismo 6 killed The Gran Trismo franchise everyone who has played Forza wont buy GT6 .

Nothing has changed form GT5 its the same crap around and around we go , doing the same races over and over again just to gain enough point to enter the next series .

Well we told Polyphony what we wanted and they didn't listen

Thank god I've been able to read your expert opinion on GT6, you're post has shown me that getting gt6 is a waste of time. Good thing you've already played it to make this judgment.

While you're in the future, can I get next week's lottery numbers off you?

I played Forza 2, 3 and 4 with a Fanatec Porsche GT2 wheel and V.2 pedals.. and sold the lot to go back to GT.. it's more realistic with a T500RS thrustmaster wheel and TH8RS shifter

I know because I have raced real cars.
 
Adjustable offset wheels. Crazy boso style wide wheels. Rally style lights and arches for older cars. Bucket seats. Fully stripped interiors. Extra adjustable suspension for stance and custom drag cars. I think that's enough from me.

At first glance that headlight "goggle" you can see for the Golf, it looks like the STCC goggles for my real life Nissan Primera. I almost got happy first time I saw it because that'd mean my car was in the game (like its predecessor and successor is). But oh no. It's for the Golf. Meh.:yuck:
 
A quote from Pat Hong

"As many of you know Gran Turismo 5's A Spec mode was f*%£*!g terrible. It was forgettable and boring to go through.
For Gran Turismo 6, I want it to be more like GT3 or GT4. That means

>Bring back proper championships from Gt3. Where you have 10 races at once, the ability to save between them and earn 10 points for first place, 6 for 2nd and the option to skip races
>Bring back unpredictable car prizes. If you guys remember in GT3, you finished a championship or endurance race, and there was 4 random cars, and if you pressed X button at the right time, you could choose which to win. Otherwise it was random
>Bring back the ability to remove our trophies, win the race again and get another car"

You're in luck.

I think there should be a better damage model on gt6 such as if your using a g27 etc you can have clutch damage if riding the gears to hard
 
more immersive rallying...like water splashes narrower stages better pace notes ...ie real locations,mud service etc. plus actual rally accessories fog lights that work. livery editor and sounds the rally cars sound too sterile no antilag.
heck going back to ps2 Rrace evolution by konami the rally cars sounded waaay better. would be nice to actually have comentary during replays or b spec viewing too
 
More realistic speeds, some cars go much faster that in real life and it just feels weird, e.g prototypes can do 260mph

in real life the prototypes are just reaching 205mph, in the past prototypes could do 250mph down the Mulsanne, but they had to cover the intakes and ducts to do so.

MA, have you used the G27 as well? If so on a 1-10 scale where in your opinion would you rate the 2 wheels. Just interested in your thoughts

yes at the moment it's shaping up to be a hot summer the humidity will be through the roof.

I have only used the G25 back in 2010, it took me a while to get used to the T500RS .. at the time I thought it was slower and weightier lock to lock compared with the Logitech.. but the feel is better on the T500RS I think.. having said that they have updated the game since to better accommodate those wheels so I don't really know? I would say that the shifter (TH8RS) has a better feel to it, but again just going by G25.

The T has stonger FFB than the L and static paddles that don't move with the wheel. It's a slightly heavier more realistic but less quick experience, that I admit I do prefer now.
You can really feel the bumps on the Nordschleife - the wheel kicking back over them..


Your best bet is to test all of them out for a few hours if you can, just to compare.

1-10 scale for the G25 - 8
1-10 scale for the T500 -9.25

Maybe others could chime in?
