An interview with U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki recorded after last month’s GT6 reveal was just recently published by GamerHub.tv, and it contained a few interesting tidbits of information.
First, Taku confirms that all recent SEMA Gran Turismo Award-winning cars will be available in the game, which would refer to the following:
- 2010 GT Awards Winner: Mark Steilow’s ’69 Chevrolet Camaro
- 2011 GT Awards Winner: Mary Pozzi’s ’71 Chevrolet Camaro
- 2012 GT Awards Winner: David Eckert’s Ford Mach Forty
These highly customized cars will likely join other previous winners already featured in GT5, including Art Morrison’s 1960 Corvette and JR Rocha’s Infiniti G37.
Taku also reveals some interesting aspects of how Polyphony Digital captures track data, stating that teams of over a dozen people can spend “weeks” at a circuit, examining different seasons and lighting conditions.
He also hints at the company’s recent visit to Australia’s Mount Panorama Circuit, where the scanning team was spotted by local GTPlanet community members.
Finally, the interview helps shed some light on the large scale of downloadable content players can expect to be released for Gran Turismo 6 after its release, as Taku confirms that “at least one additional track per month will be downloadable.”
Considering that “over 33 locations and 71 track layouts” have already been confirmed to be included in GT6 from “day 1” in the official announcement, the game’s track roster could grow quickly in size throughout 2014.

This is the correct way to do DLC – add something new to an already released game. IT really angered me when I picked up GRID 2 and found out tracks and cars that had been in previous instalments were DLC from day 1. It indicated that Codemasters could’ve put the cars/tracks in the game easily, but didn’t and instead held them off to get a few more bucks from the gamer who’d already paid £44.99 to buy it on release day. Left a bad taste in the mouth.
As much as it annoyed me that the car DLC packs for GT5 were made up of yet more tame hatchbacks and hybrids no-one really wanted and slightly shinier versions of cars already in the game (And yes the occasional supercar), they at least did it correctly. Giving us the full game then giving us the option of downloading extra bits on top. It’s like being served a large burger and chips with a huge amount of toppings, with the choice to add more toppings and side orders if you wish. Whereas GRID 2 was giving you an empty bun, a chip and saying you have to pay more money to buy the actual burger.
Poorly worded metaphor, but still.
They did not say the same about GT5?
Road America please! There aren’t too many good American tracks in any GT game yet. I realize it has to cater to a global audience, but Road America is legendary, and REALLY fun to drive. People in the midwest want Road America, and along with that, perhaps some vintage racing events and SCCA club races. You’d get so many good single player and seasonal events by putting Road America in the game (Elkhart Lake, WI). Hope someone from Sony reads this. =)
Amazed people forgot the “enough tracks to make your hat fall off” comment made @ the beginning of the year. They’re not producing DLC monthly. It takes more than a month to make each track. No, they’re stockpiling tracks to sell as DLC @ a later time inorder to make a profit.
I’d rather they did it with the cars, so nobody will miss out on new locations. This DLC ridden model for next Gen and current Gen blows when implemented the wrong way.
Also, bring back costa di amalfi
Three sisters in wigan
I want oulton park in cheshire
ll be great to race in HONG KONG streets again :)
I want Sonoma Raceway!
So now monthly I have to pay on a damn console to play GT6 in full effect. Industry always making me fret since 2005 . And rarely grin
GT5 I haven’t bought anything, won’t.
Ya, I’m reposting this. No one gave me a warning. Thanks for the silent grudge.
HEY GUYS, I FOUND ONE!!
I don’t get these comments at all….
Is 71 tracks not good enough? They’re making them every month, it’s not like they’re cutting them out of the game, developers do have spare time after the game launches you know…
you cant compare contemporary games to “historic” games. huge difference in data and what you say is half a game now has about 1000 times more data than those from the past. DLC is a great way to receive stuff that couldnt make it into the game before especially when a company is ambitious as PD (you have to give them 10/10 for ambition) If you wanted a truly complete game as you have said, you would have to wait a few more years for its completion by which time it would be obselete anyway especially now with PS4 arriving soon there would be no point. DLC is the future whether you like it or not so just start liking it.
“Start liking it” he says.
I’m not trusting ANY console with the digits on my plastic. E-v-e-r. Consider me playing half of GT5/6 then, so be it
nevermind, i ll buy all the tracks PD ll release :)
As DLC has no relationship to the standard game with regard to completing it, I don’t see what your beef is about. DLC is optional, there if you want it. It extends the game, a game which you seem to think will be half of what it should be. Well consider that this ‘half game’ (in the case of GT5) is already four times that of any other game, more possibly.
How long did you take to complete GT5? Now how long has it taken you to complete any other racer?
Ironically I would agree with you if GT6 was doing the GRID 2 thing – of withholding stuff they could’ve put in the game and making it DLC from day 1, essentially making you pay for bits of the game that should’ve been in the game in the first place.
This is the right way to do DLC. You get a massive game full of stuff, and the DLC then comes out after that adding bits to the game if you want it. Take the tinfoil hat off and do not worry – DLC has never been mandatory. Although if you want to play anything that was in previous GRID games, it is for GRID 2.
I am wondering how PD can be so ambitious with GT6 especially after the delays experienced with GT5… Could be it that with all the refactoring going on that they have actually found a way of creating cars and circuits faster and better than ever before? Must be… I’m sure they must have also been working on them for some time so they had some stock.
The most important thing is that they sound confident that it is going to work out as planned this time… only time will tell though…
They had stuff for ages but all these hackers ruined the system…and gt5 became unstable and slow ….now gt6 how ever…what away to show even more developments they can achieve…the best and newest stuff with all the time day ..physics,graphical upgrades will come with special events or occasions…..DLC…its evolution man….
1 good tracks,
2 tracks with weather
3 tracks with weather and time change
4 tracks with time weather and better graphics
1 cars
2 cars with.graphics
3 cars with graphics and tuning
4 cars with better physics…and so on…. not in that precise order of course but over a time line years probably…
I think the game engine re-vamp has freed up a lot of resources for them – and the creation of the modular expansion or whatever it was they called it…plus most of the assets are already there.
I also like how they sound confident.
It sounds like you guys are saying DLC is bad. Just because they put DLC in the game does not mean that it is incomplete, I see it as they are putting more into the game to make it to we’re the game does not get boring
+1
I hope Top Gear Test Track doesn’t have barrier on the straight line… so we can push our car top speed… like in the show. And Day & Night cycle + Weather would be nice addition for the track :)
And pleaaaaase put the Replay camera exactly like in the show… hohoho…
Sébastien Loeb Pikes peak Peugeot BEAST for DLC!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Or the Pikes Peak Celica? Something to race the lonely Escudo? And a Pikes Peak to race it on?
I hope they put Pikes Peak in the game, then race on it with the Audi S1!!!
+1
ll be great to race the 208 pikes peak VS the suzuki escudo!!!!!!!
i’ll only buy the dlc’s that stand out the most, the rest ill get in the ‘complete ps4 edition’ as im sure there will be one.
There won’t be a PS4 edition of GT6!
GT6 is for PS3 and PS3 only!!
If you do online racing and the host of the room has a track that you haven’t bought as DLC, then you can’t race on that particular track… Buy EVERYTHING you can – PD are generous and sell it for a reasonably cheap amount! There is also FREE DLC too, as with GT5!
Don’t be a scrooge – had over your cash to keep PD going so they CAN bring us GT7 and more GT titles in the future!!!
If you wait for a GT6 PS4 convert you have to wait another couple years, and you won’t even save money, compare the price for the PS4 + GT6 ‘mighthappencompleteedition’ and don’t forget to add the monthly PS+ fee you have to pay to play online on PS4 with just getting the game and its DLC in a few months, is it really worth it?
Would really like to see a no holds barred track creator.
Would like to see the old Spa, Monza in it’s 60’s config, and a 1/4 flat oval, 1/2 mile banked oval, and Martinsville Speedway.
The reason why they are saying that tracks will be released monthly because PD was probably working on this for at least 3 years.
Also, this means that they’re releasing the tracks in an organized, smooth and very convenient manner.
Instead of including them from the get-go.
Try eight years!
They were working on GT5 before the PS3 came out! We were expecting GT5 upon release of the PS3…
Three years later we got an unfinished game called GT5!
Three years later again, after much tweaking and rebuilding, we get GT6!
Everything they had for inclusion to the game had to be reconfigured for GT6, but they DID already have it! So the release of the DLC is going to be done in a strategic manner in order to keep the cash going in to PD at a steady flow instead of an avalanche. But what it also does is NOT overwhelm us so that more people can afford it and, therefore, buy it!!
I know that game developers have to get paid, and I’m the first to buy anything GT related,
but has anyone stopped to see exactly how much these games are costing us in the long term,
initial cost and then a steady stream of dlc after that.
It just seems like shooting fish in a barrell, or is it, they have us over a barrell :-)
If memory serves me right, I found out that the total cost of all DLC for -name a recent EA game- would be above the average price for a brand new game, or maybe that calculation was GT and EA was the average price of a good-quality used console (e.g. PS2) with a bundle of about 7 games..
But that’s EA – this is Sony, quite a different business ethos.
Hey Community. We all need to say BIG thank you Kazunori Yamauchi & Polyphony Digital for GT6 and for the good work:
Seems like I’ve heard this before! I’ll believe when I see it thank you very much.
I’ve learned to distrust PD’s promises since GT5. Not expecting anything extraordinary either this time around, especially as Project Cars will be out soon after the release of GT5+.
Sooo, when was the last time PD has DLC’d a new track or car for 5? An Academy, RM and TC doesn’t count. They’re just regular cars with racing mods or Academy livery on them. I know 5 is now 4 years old and don’t remember the last true new DLC that was made available. Which is why I ask.
Did we get 12 NEW cars or Tracks (a years worth) for 5? I don’t think so. New to me would be to me a model we haven’t seen yet. SRT, RUF, Koeniggsigg are the kind of cars that I have expected. And what about tracks?
How many tracks did we get for 5? Two or three? Weather and shortened versions don’t count count either. It the same venue. I thought we were going to get some of the old originals for 5.
GT5 is PD’s first attempt at online and DLC, so I can’t get too upset. I’m happy with the game and am used to being fed HYPE of all things material and don’t expect much better from 6.
Sooo, how many cars and tracks can we expect to be DLC’d for 6? Not much IMO. DON’T BELIEVE THAT HYPE GUYS! You’ll feel better in the end and there would be much less group griping in this forum.
Corvette C7 concept, less than 6 months ago and GT5 is 2.5 years old not 4
Thanks Pepe… A C7 that we have yet to be able to tune. That’s like a halve of a car, when you think about it. Not complaining. Oooh, two halves of a car when you include the secret version. When will the havle truths end? Still not complaining.
if you get fed up of GT just do something else for a while… it didnt work out as planned so what thats life still an amazing game and GT6 will be way better for sure so just chill
A C7 that has yet to go on sale yet. Ever stop to think its GM/Chevy that don’t want the the new Vette to be tunable, before it’s released to the public, instead of bashing PD for not doing it?
We all need the old school tracks

And Special Stage Route11, and Complex String.
in short, every gran turismo track made up till now
ALL of the above tracks, but with something added…
Time and weather change!
still it all sounds good with new tracks and cars, and Now we just have to see it happens in the future, and if it doesn’t big deal ‘ they couldn’t care less, because we will still buy it – DLC’s should extra content, and not a part of the Full packets, the full packets should be the game :|
But this is the way Business is run today – they started it to see how far they could go with it and they only grew bigger and bigger and richer and richer with it ‘ so now it’s the new way to create Games, and we the customers are just Donkeys with money and a continually taste for new exiting stuff – Not even the big Gaming sites will discuss this issue, because they are also in the hands of the Game creators ( they wouldn’t exist with out them ) – That’s why DLC’s are here to stay, and we will pay a lot more for less in the future..
Happy Gaming ;)
But once again, we can see that PD isn’t that sharp when it comes to nursing the Players Driving heart – Leman this weekend and there isn’t a Seasonal that supports it .. STupid strategy from them to be honest – it’s almost a big laugh in my Book, and very disappointing..
X2010 TT at Circuit de la Sarthe and there’s a new seasonal update in less than 12 hours…
Flagmo, your second paragraph is Almost spot-on. Everything exept the part about the gaming media- they aren’t in the hands of the ‘game creators’, but firmly in the grasp of the large corporations who also own the game-creating houses, such as Sony, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, etc.. These big monsters give final direction to all- the little studios who actually make the games and the gaming media alike.
It’s definitely not as if the studios such as PD, Turn10, Criterion, Slightly Mad Studios, etc. actually control anything- including their own P.R. This is proven by the repeated statements of Top-man Kazunori over the years, “I do not like DLC’s”, “we will not be doing DLC’s”… Well, guess what. : /
Remember, the consumer still has total control. We do not have to buy dlc and if the companies see sales are down they will change the way they do things. If sales are strong, then majority rules and we continue on. I wonder if they charged 100.00
with everything in the game, would we still have complainers? It cost money to develop these games. Anyway, a lot of crying going on.
to me it seams like out of all companies of racing games pd is the most addicted to the cars
sad
will wait a few moths for an complete package with all tracks and cars… or hopefully an ps4 version…
Look how many cars and tracks they pack in the game already not to mention track creator and everyone wanted dlc they were crying for it now complaining about its better be free? PD can’t win.
I am vehemently against the Concept of DLC also (like others have stated), I also grew up during a time where you bought the game once, and were treated to a completely Full Game with all the Bells and Whistles and Unlockables from day one..
There are those corporations that release shoddy, unfinished games that have things that are obviously missing, that miraculously show up as DLC later; Games with no unlockables, no good variety in content, integral characters/equipment/assets missing, or just extremely short in general then Lo and Behold they have DLC that fills that gaping hole (usually within the first week, month, or even same day as release)–but Polyphony isn’t one of those companies, they often treat us to Free Content and cheaper DLC and I believe and hope that they haven’t gone in the direction of others and proceeded towards this Money Grabbing Culture most of the Industry has adopted..
I look forward to buying these Tracks, because I believe their prices will most likely be sensible (they usually are in PD’s case) and if they are the Classic Tracks, they will need a revamp before reappearing in GT–so it’s not like they are withholding Tracks they’ve had for years, most will have to have been redone all together..
No lie I will be very observant of these Tracks’ quality and prices, as (like I’ve said before) I dislike DLC altogether, but I think things will work out in our favor in GT6..
Video Game Producers make plenty of revenue from the cost of their games, it has been told and retold over and over again that the Industry is a multi-billion dollar juggernaut that makes unbelievable profit and since the advent of DLC it has skyrocketed to even higher heights, believe the hype if you want young’ns but this is not a sinking ship where DRM and/or DLC is needed to keep it afloat, they are trying to increase their already bloated profits by getting more money from each respective player, brush up on your Economics, pick up a Wallstreet Journal and see the Truth.. You’re paying $100 plus for a game instead of the flat rate (which they already made plenty of profit from)..
”I also grew up during a time where you bought the game once, and were treated to a completely Full Game with all the Bells and Whistles and Unlockables from day one..”
It was great, now people look at dlc like great addictional stuff, but the truth is that we’re paying double games that even with dlc are half of the content of a random old game. Everyone is like”omg you want all that stuff paying just one time??” Yes i want, just like we did before. I don’t buy a car without two wheels adding more money for the other 2. ”hey but you have your car anyway right?” Madness.
The new battlefield isn’t even out already and you can already preorder the first expansion,(of 4) and they already talking about the second one. Hope for gt isn’t going to be THAT bad in the future..
I do not think a lot of you understand capitalism. First and foremost who are you to decide how much money and profits someone
should have. PD is a business and the number one priority of a business is to make money and as much as possible. cracks me up
when people always say these corporations are making to much profit and they are just money grabbers. Simple as this, you do not have to buy the DLC. A lot of you are young and probally do not have full time jobs yet or work at all. You will understand this
when you enter the work force.
you cant compare contemporary games to “historic” games. huge difference in data and what you say is half a game now has about 1000 times more data than those from the past. DLC is a great way to receive stuff that couldnt make it into the game before especially when a company is ambitious as PD (you have to give them 10/10 for ambition) If you wanted a truly complete game as you have said, you would have to wait a few more years for its completion by which time it would be obselete anyway especially now with PS4 arriving soon there would be no point. DLC is the future whether you like it or not so just start liking it.
So that Jag in the background ~3:14, is that the one we (well, most of us) already have? Or is it a new Jaguar? Just wondering.
The only thing i dislike from DLC is that alot of people is going to have
which means: they will have a car that you can’t have(and sometimes it’s great as hell, like the HSV-10) and worst of them all, the tracks. “oh great, i cannot play this because it’s a track that i need to play.”
thank god the DLCs doesn’t cost that much. How much is GT5’s DLCs? 2 to 5 bucks? yeah, atleast you don’t like for example: 10£ for something that makes no sense for a game that is completely broken. what game is it? SIM CITY AMUSEMENT PARK DLC!
if you cant afford it then a friend can share it with you at least..any way theirs gonna be so many cars..know one will have them all…that”s the point.
So, i will wait till all the DLCs will be on the disc when you buy it. (just like GT 5 Academy edit.
Until then i will rather play GT2 because it has more tracks and cars than any other GT. :))
That sounds extremely similar to my plan. Besides, I’m still missing that STP Taisan Viper.. Next two years of my life, here I come!
Mitsubishi 3000GT LM, TRD 3000GT, Nismo R33 GT LM (race car), … so many missing. Honestly, thought some of them woupd make it to 5. But that’s what you get for believing the HYPE. And that’s why I won’t be getting any of those “special” advance purchase cars. Like my one and only chance of driving a most special car to me. The McLaren F1 Stealth. Still looking towards 6.
Why DLC, why not free? :censored:
Do you work for free? Thought not…
+1 MeanElf, people need to think about this logically.
Also, why do people assume all the DLC is completed? PD have stated it takes quite a while to scan tracks and I’m sure upgrading old original tracks isn’t exactly quick, so why is it so hard to believe this stuff is a work in progress?
I will say though, if they plan on starting the release cycle early on, it will sting a bit.
I am excited for the 71 camaro. They don’t have one 70’s camaro in the game currently. And this may mean they might insert the ’71 as a regular car (Fingers Crossed). And for DLC I seen someone say some 1.5 ovals. They could release a pack lets say for $5 with atlanta, Las Vegas, Kansas, etc. and release about 3. I don’t knoiw much about devolopment but maybe they would use the same basic technology since they are roughly the same track with a few differences. And you could raise the price of the DC even though they are basically the same.
With a good onboard camera and fidelity track plans it’s enough for recreate a track, if PD make smooth and flat tracks, what’s the pupose of spend weeks there ???
There is no bump or irregularity in GT tracks, that’s a same.
I’m with this guy. I would love to see more rough surfaces, bumps, cracks, etc for some of these courses. Could you imagine if PD re-created Sebring? It would be a shock to any real-life race driver who’s ever run that track in Florida. Bring the nasty, PD. Let’s really put those new physics models to the test.
Nordschleife and Circuit de la Sarthe are certainly NOT “smooth and flat”. Same goes for a couple of created tracks including Trial Mountain and Deep Forest. That’s just off the top of my head, so what you guys say is clearly not true. Find another way to troll. ;)
Yeah they are a lot smoother and flatter than the real tracks. Even very bumpy in GT5 are way more bumpy in real life. Smooth tracks in real life are like glass in GT5. The completely static view from the driver POV doesn’t help either. Even Dirt 3 does a way better job in that department, and that is an “arcade game” in comparison to GT5.. well, it does have better physics, ai, and gfx in a lot of ways though. PD could learn a lot from Codemasters unfortunately, it should be the other way around.
DLC facts, imho:
– DLC doesn’t mean a game is not complete without it. The disc version sold in stores if fully playable.
– Nobody is obliged to buy DLC but 90% of consumers certainly will, as they’ll feel left behind if they don’t or just because they are fans and need to have it. It’s psychological.
– All DLC data (or at least most of it) must be ready and finished by the time the game hits the shelves. In PD’s case, for example, it must be impossible to build a whole new track in one month’s time. Developers just have to decide when to release the pieces, one by one. Every company must be working like that now, not only PD.
– During game development it may be decided what content will be on disc and what will be separated to be sold as DLC. Even on early stages of production they may already know exactly what is what. And both content must be created simultaneously.
– 90% of DLC is paid – it’s an income that will allow the gaming industry to abandon DRM and online pass altogether. That’s why Sony is advertising that people can trade and sell their used games without restrictions. They just don’t care anymore.
– DLC is an irreversible phenomenon and there’s no turning back. It’ll be everywhere.
– DLC doesn’t mean a game is not complete without it. The disc version sold in stores if fully playable. Nobody is obliged to buy DLC but 90% of consumers certainly will, as they’ll feel left behind if they don’t or just because they are fans and need to have it. It’s psychological.
NOT WHEN YOU RACE ONLINE AND HAVE TO WAIT WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE DAMN TRACK!!!!!!!!!!
Then they should release with just 1 car and 1 track. It would still be a complete game because it’s “playable”.
Then they can charge for every single car and track after the first. Perfect business model. Except nobody would buy it.
So the question is really simple. How willing are people to pay for “bonus” material that is almost certainly ready at release but withheld?
I’m not against dlc, but paying for content that’s done at release but withheld leaves a bad taste.
And you’re living a fantasy if you think DRM will ever go away, no matter how much money you give the game industry.
allik
dead right its bin like this since before gt5 was ready…
The track in RU Faster than a Redneck
Circuit of the Americas please and maybe a couple 1.5 mile ovals
GT6 Online: ‘Oh, I don’t have that track’ ‘I didn’t buy that one yet’ ‘I can’t don’t have track’ ‘Don’t have DLC’ ‘I don’t have track’
It’s the same as GT5 – A right pain in the assteriods!
I pay for DLC’s, and i’ve no problem with it.
I really hope we’ll see some of the old GT4 tracks back again via DLC. Especially Midfield <3
+1
+1
…and I hope they give us DLC with cars from older versions of GT :)
Cheers
Do any of you people already complaining about DLC, have any idea of how much it costs to build a track? Both in terms of man hours AND budget? This isn’t content already on the disc… this is EXTRA content. I’ll be more than happy to pay for them.
People saying “these track DLC’s should be free”…. really?…. WOW.
+1
Stop being such a fanboy, DLC is nothing more then an extra way to squeeze more money out of the customer.
They already have most of the tracks and cars scanned for GT6, from GT5 and GT4. It doesnt suddenly cost alot more either to do that. 2~5 years ago they could afford to make 1000 cars and god knows how many tracks for the price of one game, why would they suddenly not be able to do that anymore?
It feels like GT6 is nothing more then one big DLC for GT5, with extra extra extra DLC in the future.
For a new game (not so new) we spect more than 7 tracks, that’s not enough for 69 euros…
IMO that’s not so important that detail in tracks… i prefer some simple “track creator like” famous tracks all over the world with well done corners better than few tracks with weeks spend on them… silverstone doesn’t like so espectacular, and asphalt textures aren’t imperfect like in real life…
I don’t care if trees are in the good place or not ! I only care about the fidelity of the track-path.
Cogency is right.
To repeat, tracks CAN NOT be created in a months time. What isbeing sold as DLC is content that exists already when the disc is sold.
Do not be fooled. You are going to pay in addition to the price of the game, for content that existed on day 1.
That is a FACT, again because tracks cannot be created in one month time.
Consider this, then think about if you are getting good value for your money, or if this business model favours the publisher.
Is it fair to have people waiting on the lobbies just because they don’t pay again for extra content?
Yeah, well said, GT6 fells like GT5.5
+1 to anim8r_uk (and Toko)
Where do you other’s get your information from?
Firstly, who said we will pay for EVERY piece of DLC? Remember, some of GT5’s DLC was free!
And secondly, of course this business model favours the publisher – how do you expect them to keep going, keep giving us updates and DLC and creating more stuff to either add to the game or the next game they produce?
EVERYTHING in this world is getting more and more expensive or didn’t you notice!? Rent/mortgages have to be paid, petrol needs to be bought, food, clothing – the list goes on! But it’s not just you and me – the people who make these games for us are affected by this as well! So, we hand over a few dollars for some extra stuff for the game… Who gives a damn? I want the GranTurismo series to keep going so I’ll do my part!!!
So then mef, who says PD will need to create each track in just one month? How about they have already begun the process, y’know, prepared a back catalogue in readiness. That doen’t need to be on-disc content either. By the way, all DLC will be stored online…it won’t be on your disc.
But you go ahead and believe what you like, as you clearly don’t worry too much about the facts, as you have yet to see the game, play it or anything – so how can you know?
I really hope it’s free DLC. I hate to pay for a game and then I go online have to stand watching. It’s very unfair. I don’t mind cars being release as DLC but tracks, come on. I will think twice before buying GT6 because I feel I am being abused.
I agree.
Are you MAD!? Of course you have to pay, devs need money to continue working on their games. If you don’t want to pay, than you’re not getting anything, simple as…
please enroll in Economics 101.
@Toko: Yes, I’m mad. In my time I only had to pay for the game ONCE and you’d get access to 100% of the content. These youngsters nowadays who are addicted do DLCs… really, are all you guys (or your parents) rich? If the content is on the disk, no one gives care, but if it’s released later as DLC, it’s the best ever…
Go play jailbreak , all free.
Read my answer to the comment above (or on the previous page) – I’m NOT writing this out a second time!
Keep in mind that I’m 43yrs old and not rich!
You say “In my time…” – when was your time? As I said, I’m 43 but my time is, well, NOW! And right now I play GT5 and am looking forward to GT6 and all of its DLC!!! I live in the present and I have adapted to the present. I don’t like that I have had to, but what’s the alternative? Living in the past? It can’t be done!
Think about this – If your grandfather had said to you “In my time we didn’t have cars, we had horses and push-bikes!”, what would you have said to him? “Oh, but it’s the future of transportation!”. Now, imagine if we had no cars… We would then have no driving/racing games – No GranTurismo!!!
One last thing to point out is my uncle. He’s 67yrs old, owns a PS3 AND an Xbox, has about 6 games that he likes to play and, though he doesn’t play GT5 online, he has downloaded all of the updates and bought all of the DLC that has been offered.
scotty dog….yep the future old man! im 47 in 3 days… my dads 68 and he got al the special dlc…
Scotty +1 on all that… I’m 34 & play with mostly older folks, 25 in game friends for GT5 & only 2 are under 20 & 1 because its my friends kid. I couldn’t agree more to all of what you said & am blown away when some says something along the lines of what Oyashiro said.
& rich? Are you kidding me?! Since when does one have to be rich to purchase DLC? If its monthly and you factor the cost its less then a quarter a day in most cases… Is it that hard not to supersize your meals, buy one less pack of smokes ect ect?! Ppl expect so much just given away to them it seems.
I hope reverse tracks don’t count as ‘ tracks’. Never been a fan of reverse tracks, it’s just not how u do things
Did you know that Laguna Seca is run in the reverse direction for MotoGP? That’s the only real life example I know off the top of my head…
The Original Circuits in the GranTurismo series are NOT real tracks, so if PD give us the chance to run it in reverse, that’s just how we do things!
You spend so much time and money adding minor details to cars that no one will ever notice because the cameras are so restricted yet you leave important things out like freaking TYRE PRESSURE! :/
+10000
Yes, but it has always stressed the ‘driving simulator’ aspect more than the tuning aspect.
Tuning has always been very unrealistic. Think of the HP gains made by swapping ECU, intakes, exhausts. That is all completely artificial along with much of the other tuning options.
There is no point in adding tyre pressure if the whole underlying model does not support it. But maybe with improved tire and suspension dynamics in GT6 tyre pressures might make more sense (would do for formula cars where a lot of suspension travel is in the tire)
“Examining different seasons and lighting effects” I hope that means most or all tracks will have some type of weather and /or time changes
Eventually, but most likely to be in GT7!
can’t wait dec to buy GT6!!!!
hope it ll be a good wait for GT7 on PS4!!!
thats fine and all, but will the DLC tracks be intergrated with the single player mode? the DLC tracks for GT5 are worthless in A-spec mode.
Ummm, I do believe that Spa has featured in three seasonal events! Maybe more, I’m not 100% on that…
I only know of one GT500 race and two drift events…
I love the fact that thay are doing DLC’s every mounth. keeps the game fresh and new exciteing. I also like the fact that the choice is individual. no packs, hope they do the same with cars. Hope this trend happens in all new games not just gt. It’s all business any way thay get more$$ you get new content everyone’s happy.
I’m not happy with that. Keeping the game fresh? Why not releasing the game only with 2 tracks and 10 cars and then you pay extra for the rest, and end up paying thousands of euros for a game that should be 60 euros? Really… -_-
iRacing does that very same thing despite having a recurring monthly fee. Plus the cars and courses are a lot more expensive than Gran Turismo’s DLC.
Oyashiro, how did you come up with THOUSANDS of euros? I have spent less than $100 on GT5, and we here in Australia get charged up the wazoo for absolutely everything!!!
It is most likely that a fair amount of this DLC will be free! Remember, GT5 had free DLC! To get free stuff in this world of “NOTHING IS FREE” is a pretty good deal if you ask me!
And what isn’t free will be easily affordable… Anyway, all the money goes to our favourite developers (in this case PD) who in turn keep the DLC coming and keep working on the next game! Hell, I sleep better in the knowledge that I have done my part in supporting the game I love!
So shut up, sit back, relax, hand over some support and enjoy what is to come!
I am so very happy with the way things are going at the moment.. GT6 is shaping up to be pretty darn good.. if they keep their promises that is.
How in the world they can release cars and tracks for GT6 when they have to work on GT7? And of course they will charge, even some of money. They will still make millions $$.
GT7 will be much easier to make, so releasing DLC for GT6 won’t be a problem.
Also, all asset work on six will be useable on seven.
So I have to buy with damn console monthly if I want full effect ?
Stupid assed industry. 2005 and up is dead to me
I feel the same. I don’t buy games anymore, except for GT. And I’m not sure if I’m even buying GT6.
People, stop talking out of your a**es. Nowhere does it say that monthly DLC’s will cost anything. I guess 50% of them will be free of charge (like old GT tracks), completely new scanned tracks and cars should cost no more than 3$, £, € and no less than 1$, £, € with all the layouts of the track.
I just hope they inculde some newer BMW’s, Audi’s and Mercedes cars on disk itself. And I think every racing gear or colors should be free. I don’t like paying for 100 helmets if I only want to use one of them.
And last think I really hope Kaz was truthful about all the liverys being available for almost every car in the game.
Plus, bring Supra RZ premium and realistic tuning options (some Supra’s have 1000 hp+ :) and Nissan’s GT-R AMS Alpha packages should be included as well :) that shouldn’t be a problem with Nissan, since they are the GT Academy’s representatives.
I really think this time we can hold Yamauchi san for his words, of course if no unexpected problems occur :)
Go PD! You make my life worth living!!
*think = thing :)
I’m with you on Paint colors i hate the fact you have to either pay for the colors you want or acquire them threw the game it irritates me that i can’t just go into a paint booth an paint my car a certain color i have to spend all the extra time of buying a car with that color or waiting for it to show up an i’ve spent 20 bucks on paint pack because i like 3 colors that are only available in there.
Cost anything? No offence but, where do you live? Mars? Of course you pay, you pay again and again and..
If they work on GT7 for the PS4 once GT6 is out, they might aswell sell you that content in the form of DLC and cash the profit twice, you people you buy into this are tools.
No, we’re people looking to expand our content selection. We’re people who want new content in the game.
Keyword – new.
@HarVee +1
Excellent
I wish they’d do the Singapore night city track…
Holy crap. A new track EVERY MONTH!
And somehow, the whining little bitches here still find a way to complain.
People whine, because all that is being made is empty promises. There is not way they can pull this off without cutting content from GT6. It takes PD supposedly 6 months to model just one track.
I’m all for new tracks every month , if it also includes an expansion to the career mode , not just arcade mode and online. Sure seasonals are fun but that only lasts for an hour or so. With new tracks I want new races through out all of A-Spec (special events, beginner, intermediate, expert , one make races ect…. New tracks should = New races. If not I’m sure I’ll still buy them because they’ll be used for WRS events.
GTP_Remo.. I couldn’t agree more.. I’m not expecting we will get that. But, I’d love to see that breath life into the Aspec like they do with Seasonals.
Maybe because content is being with held and sold as DLC unless you think they can make a new track at least once a month?
They don’t have to cut back on gt6 content to release a track every month. They might have started with a new track 5 months ahead of launch and another 4 months ahead and so on. Those would never be in the game if it takes 6 months to complete a track and it would work with a track every month since they don’t start with a new track every month, the only finish one every month.
That’s the way I see it too.
Yeah ok whatever!
Thats a big coincidence, in 3 years of GT5 they give us 4 tracks (2 made up and one of them an oval) but all of a sudden now they want to charge for them they can bring em out regular as clockwork, and cars!
ewwww tasting a car? smelling a car you know people do fart. so that was a bit too much information about how much detail that’s going into the game.
If they’re going to be releasing it monthly, they better keep it fairly priced. Hopefully PD will make it $2 per track, max I will pay is $3. Also they should release some free content once in a while. Maybe give players a free car per month, and in addition they can also release car pack DLC. As long as the content keeps coming and it’s priced well, I’ll continue buying!!
BATHURST!!!!! YAY!!!
I hope there’s Gymkhana track hohoho… i like to test he new physics with lots obstacles and tricks :p
I could go for that but don’t see it happening…
We had that in GT4, so it’s not impossible. It’s just a little piece of tarmac. If we don’t get it, we still have the back straight in the Top Gear Test Track.
Oh I know.. I just don’t see it happening for GT6 is what I meant. I’d love to see it though… Could be great as a license tests.
Gran Turismo – love it or hate it…
Mixed opinions. I Lovate it. :sly:
Personally, I reckon these DLC tracks will be some of the fan favourites remastered and optimised to GT6 quality, like Apricot Hill and Seattle (seen in GT5 trailers last year) and Grindelwald (the folder found in a documentary on PD and racing at the Nurburgring a few years ago) and even Pikes Peak and El Capitan (Information/video Red Bull accidentally leaked)
PD don’t make the tracks monthly DLCs!! Cars, yeah. Tracks, no.
Perhaps they have behind the scenes ;)
Oh great another unfinished game going to retailers… this is not a good trend. one day a game will be released and its 1 car and 1 track :(
That’s already happened before. Believe it or not.
In what way does DLC mean an unfinished game?! It’s just PD making a little extra money from us loyal GT fans that will shell out our hard earned cash.
DLC doesn’t mean unfinished game UNLESS, it’s day 1 DLC. I highly doubt they would do that. If they do, I’ll be pissed but still buy it LOL.
Everybody was pissed when they stopped making DLC for GT5 so I think this is their way of giving us hope, or something. I don’t know. Or maybe it’s a way for to to say, yes, there’s only 33 tracks to start, but we will add more after.
I just hope we get Macau city circuit, Virginia International, Zandvoort, and Costa Di Amalfi. I also hope we get some touge tracks
Wait and see OP, wait and see…
No. They aren’t doing it because its unfinished.
They are doing it to keep people interested in the game and keep it fresh.
Think about when the DLC for GT5 came out, people started playing again. Even if it was only for a month or so.
So imagine the interest that a new DLC pack, Whether it be car, track or both, would generate.
You can’t tell me you wouldn’t want something new every month to keep the game interesting?
Games are way too expensive now. This is a real good business model that works, and helps make extra profit. Most people love DLC and extra content for the games they buy and they are willing to pay for it.
“at least one additional track per month will be downloadable.”
Mhmm, yeah. Good luck with that.
ha ha Taku was the guy that said we would get DLC every 2 months on gt5..and they held him to it ..a moaned like baby’s here…last year..lol..he almost looked like he didn’t want to really say that..ha ha.. 1 track a month..look out Taku they”ll bend your ear if your one day late…
I have the feeling that as the track roster grows, my purse will shrink.
I only hope PD brings back Special Stage Route 11.
They will, in the GT6 Reveal trailer you can see the layout of it, in that scene where theres a lot of track layouts
I think they need to focus on more of the new cars for dlc
but then again they havnt had much different track in all the other gt’s so it’d be nice to c something weve nvr seen b4
I reckon they will provide the tracks from previous GT games as monthly DLC then slow down a bit and release the new tracks in every 2-3 months but who knows.
sangdude, this is what I’ve been saying too. Once they run through the legacy Gran Turismo tracks, it’ll be brand new tracks, and the real world locations can take as much as two years to finish.
But I reckon those legacy GT tracks will keep me entertained for months and months since there were so many awesome tracks got left out from GT5 :)
I like this bit,” He also hints at the company’s recent visit to Australia’s Mount Panorama Circuit, where the scanning team was spotted by local GTPlanet community members.” your welcome :P
New tracks as DLC every month? Keep it coming, for I don’t care about more cars, just tracks. I’d rather have 1200 tracks and 70 cars.
Lol, 10/10 bro!!
That’s not a bad idea at all lol :)
It would be nice if they get rid of some of the cars that nobody would drive and focus on main stream cars ranging from everyday to full on racing. Then, have a lot large selection of tracks.
@sangdude82 ..stop that..why get rid of anything…can we not just have it all….
You play that game.
I’d rather play Gran Turismo, which has nearly a thousand unique cars, impeccably mapped tracks, legacy tracks coming along regularly as DLC, and courses I can create myself. I’ll still have so many tracks to learn, it’ll take more than a year to do it.
Well if they get the initial car list right, we won’t need new cars but you know damn well they won’t. Like usual, they’ll completely miss the mark on the cars list.
Then they’ll mostly miss the mark on DLC as well, but the more we get, the closer we’ll get to having the cars people want instead of a bunch of japanese cars and slow cars that most people don’t want
@TomBrady Yeah, that’s exactly what I was trying to say.
I don’t care what flavor it is I’m not tasting any car. I may kiss it but thats as far as i’ll go.
ha ha yeah… he almost made it sound like they actually employ llicker’s,sniffers and tasters…
EBISU and all the layouts should be in GT, please give us drifters this track PD
+1
I hoping that even if EBISU isn’t an official release, the new “create track from GPS data” feature might allow a local to drive the track and share that online for everyone. Of course it wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as an official release which would include all the background graphic details, but it sure would be nice to drive the layout at least.
Kaz, these are straight answers. You should try it.
Track I want to drive the most is Circuit Of The Americas! Please don’t leave this one out!
U got that right!! And Imola please as well.
You’ve got my vote for those tracks too! Imola is such an iconic track. Not only with its reputation but it’s the track where the F1 legend Ayrton Senna had an accident and lost his life. If Imola gets included on GT6 as DLC, it will make us quite emotional :)
COTA (short course) is now used for one round in the Australian V8 Supercar series! I have only seen that one layout used and I like it!!
I have seen maps of the full circuit and I think it will go down a treat in GT6, as would Imola!
But I still really want Bathurst (Mount Panorama)!
That would be cool
BTW, I’m totally a Sony/Gran Turismo fan, but I recently watched a game play of Forza 5 and it looked really good. I don’t know about their driving physics, but their graphics look as good as any Gran Turismo. PD/Sony: time to shift it into a higher gear and offer all the new/cool cars as soon as you start working on GT7 for PS4 and work on offering the best graphics/physics ever. Also, GT7 shouldn’t take as long to make as it’s now easier to make games for the PS4 and PD is an in-house Sony game producer with unlimited access/support to the PS4 hardware.
Yeah, PD is definitely responding to their rival games by admitting and going to improve AI and engine sounds plus they have claimed that they will give us car & track DLCs.
From what I’ve been hearing is that FM5 is less realistic. If they stayed on the open roads like Horizon, I wouldn’t say its a problem but as long as they try to make their version of gran turismo, it’s always gonna seem boring until they step up the realism.
That’s what I’m talking about finally. GO PD!!!
Bring on PD/Sony! And while you are at it, start converting the “standard” cars into premium and release them 10-15 cars every month. And please don’t forget to include many new cars such as the V-series Cadillacs, Porsche’s, Mustangs, etc, etc…
No Porsche :(
We can always be hopeful.
It’s no use sangdude. People have explained and explained to this guy why we won’t see Porsche brand in GT series for a year or more now. He doesn’t want to know.
However, it shouldn’t be that difficult to scan some of latest RUFs since PD already has the licence with them.
@ sangdude: Exactly! I totally agree about RUF’s.
Haven’t we heard this BS before…… And then what happened…….
If it does work, wonder if they’ll be a season pass like other games…..
What is the point of 1 track a month when lets be honest soon as we get bored of GT6 chances are we will boot the PS4 up instead.
Watkins Glen (all layouts) Riverside, Road America and Road Atlanta (all layouts) Now you’re talking USA….USA….USA….
Keep calm B*S, there are other countries that race in this world!
Mount Panorama is a track that nearly EVERY Rally, NASCAR, BTCC, F1, DTM and Indy Car driver AND MotoGP rider wants to race at!!
The tracks you mentioned, plus COTA, Sonoma and Virginia, are ok, but Bathurst is a world renowned race and the Mount Panorama circuit is an eagerly anticipated inclusion to the Gran Turismo series by A LOT of people all over the world!
(I hope I didn’t over use the word ‘world’)
Implying that they’ll actually have DLC every month…
“One track downloadable every month”
That says to me, classic GT tracks as DLC with a couple of surprises/new ones thrown in.
What I’m wondering is, how are they going to release the DLC? If they update the game every month, including the content every time and selling a “key”, like they do now,I’m not sure if i have enough space on my hard drive. Basically there is a risk that people who do not play regularly get forced to update the game for at least 20 minutes every time they just feel like picking up GT for a few laps. This could get annoying after a while. I see it happening to me right now as the weeks fly by and I can’t find a few hours to play wjthout having to update again for hours.
Plus, is it technically necessary for me to have loads of GB of stuff on my ps3 that I possibly do not even want or have no intention of buying?
What do you guys think?
it was always inevitable that we would run out of hard drive space..(local storage)…its looking like we will all have to sign up to plus at some pointyy if theirs going to be endless cars and tracks in the future..not all cars are in the game to start and have to be unlocked , then we run out, new game! as is the old way….gt5 was different it was completely extendable ..but as is with prototypes for a new system…its had to be fine tuned…now gt6 is the new gt5 and we will get all those add on’s they been working on and saving , for ever more..playstation plus is the way! were going to have to keep all our extras there. also the content becomes the problem and managing it becomes a night mare for the customers…yes better let them do it on cloud computers…there good at it…
hopefully they ring back red rock valley and midfield and complex string
Great.
Also hope they get licensing if they don’t already for Circuit of the Americas…this and aforementioned RWB wish/request/prayer/etc = Heaven
Im in.. will buy every track.. just hope it will not end like with gt5.. PD sayd DLC every 2 or 3 months.. in reality we got some 4 tracks only… and very limited amount of cars.. almost none of the requested…
yeah thats true
yeahhh that´s nice :D and cars every month too via DLC??
When he was talking about how they model the cars in GT6, it reminded me of the marble from the Spongebob episode
We need the Callaway Sledgehammer
I see a hint on that GT2 video. Classic tracks coming to GT6 :)
Whatever PD has in mind with this possible monthly DLC, I’m happy with it.
Finally! Some American muscle!
Oh yeah! That Mach Forty looks like a beast!
The old school American muscle cars needed to be converted into premium.
I will be happy with whatever new Premium muscle car we get. But there is just one I am really wanting; The Superbird.
A street Premium GT40 would be awesome as well.
Oh yeah, the Superbird. I fell in love with that car with fast & furious 6 :D
At least one track every month? Sounds too good to be true.
Awesome game and all but…PREMIUM AE86!….please.
and Toyota Supra? ;)
Hopefully those will already be available on launch. I still can’t believe PD let them out.
As long as they include El Capitan I’ll be happy!
Just read that Forza 5 will have La Ferrari and possibly the Aston CC100… Hopefully we’ll either get these from the get go or as DLC soonish. Especially La Ferrari
Isn’t it ironic that GT5 had around 1000 cars yet it was missing so many iconic super/road/racing cars from around the world? I really hope that PD can redeem themselves with GT6 and its DLCs.
Yep, La Ferrari gotta be in GT6 along with 599 GTO, 599xx, Fxx, 458 Spider, FF and F12 Berlinetta.
Yes, but who is going to buy a Xbox One just to play Forza 5?
Who will even buy an Xbox One?
Ill take La Ferrari, 599GTO the FF, 458 spider amd F12… if I get those then the game could include 900 different versions of Mazda Demio and I still wouldnt mind haha
‘Tidbit’ is not a word. It’s ‘titbit’.
I wonder if they would make a “classic” DLC pack, with stuff like Special Stage Route 11, Seattle Circuit, The Tahiti rally tracks, etc… That would be amazing!
I will buy that pack straight away!
I would buy it if it was the only way to get those “old” tracks, but a re-rendered version should be free and included as an update!
The only tracks we should have to pay for are Real World Circuits and ‘new’ Original Circuits, not the tracks that have already been in the GT series!!! Although, if included as a pack of, say, 10 “old” Original Circuits, I’d understand the cost because it would show PD was working extra hard to get them to us!
IMO…
I’ve been wondering, will Spa & Twin Ring Motegi be part of 7 new tracks for GT6 or will they come back as track DLCs? Also, I have a good feeling that most if not all of the tracks from the previous GT games will come back for GT6.
I’m thinking GT 6 will be much like GT5 and we will have many versions old and new ..and the dlc we have will carry forward..obviously there getting better at making cars and tracks now with new features….but i think there will still be both versions….i think there biggest regret in gt5 was calling them premiums and standards. they may continue now to upgrade tracks,cars,photomode..and bring us the latest versions as and when..i’m looking forward to an updated Spa with night and day as well as some of the good old tracks we”ve been missing.
Monthly Forza DLC – “This is awful, what moneygrabbers T10 and MS are. PD would never do that, Kaz respects us”
Monthy GT6 DLC – “This is great news, shut up and take my money!”
difference being GT contains a lot more cars and tracks at launch compared to Forza
Heeeey Samus! Is that you? :)
@NeuroticVows: Stop spreading false info. Thanks.
Anyone thinking these tracks can be old GT tracks that have since vanished, but now may return in higher res and detailed form?
I hope so :)
couldn’t you just sell the game 20 euros more expensive instead?
7 locations, hmm… I predict Silverstone, Shanghai, Bathurst, Interlagos… Not sure about the other 3, so lets go with Sebring, COTA, and Paul Recard. Actually, that can’t be right, would PD ever add 7 locations without adding a Japanesse one? Lol, they’ll probably put one in there.
Not so realistically, the track I really want is Belle Isle Park. I am openly bias towards this track because its my home track, but hey, I can make a case. The new layout they started using this year produced exciting racing with alot of passing and the Grand-Am race was great to, so it works for sports car as well. The location is picturesque as well. Belle Isle is an island in the Detroit River, kind of like how Montreal is only it doesn’t take up the whole island and it wasnt designed as a race track, it’s a normal street course. The facility is eye pleasing as well, as its the only temporary street circuit in America that actually has grass around in areas, not just concrete and walls, and more so then that, I can’t think of another track like that outside of Australia that holds major racing. The fountain section of the track us beautiful as well, as you race through the casino area you are racing around quite a large fountain. And hey PD, don’t you guys have that deal with GM now with that new Corvette? Chevy sponsors the Grand Prix and more importantly, the Renaissance Center, which is GM’s world headquarters, is very prominent in the tracks backdrop and you literally see it from wherever you are in the facility. Also in the backdrop is the Ambassador Bridge, which is the bridge from the US to Canada, as the island is smack in the middle of the 2 countries. Plus, don’t ya think it would be a good idea to have a track in Detroit, the Motor City, it’s the automotive capital of the world? The big 3 is based here, being GM, Ford, and UAW Chrysler. So there ya go, made my case for my home track, had to do it :P
On top of that track list I would like to add Barber Motorsports Park, Infineon Raceway, Road Atlanta, and Mid Ohio! Watkins Glen would be nice too. Show the American road courses some love! They are some really good tracks actually..
No doubt, Road America too! That I mean we deffinently deserve more then 3 tracks that don’t have weather, Daytona is the wrong layout for the road course and was rendered like crap (2006 or earlier by the infield Nextel signs), and we didnt even get a street course.
and Virginia International Raceway :D
Uhh… Willow Springs Matterhorn are confirmed, We’ve seen photos of Seattle and Apricot Hill, so we gotta consider those two. Silverstone we know, Possibly Sebring and Bathurst. Only leaves one if all the other courses we’ve actually heard connected to GT6 to be revealed, which could be SS11.
@Pit Crew – Andalucía (in the course maker) was considered a “new” location!
I am liking GT6 better than GT5 so far mainly because it just seems like a much more organized, unrushed affair in comparison to its predecessor! And this interview also proves just how much work and time is put into the game, and just how special it is to the people working on it. It’s that undefinable magic that makes Gran Turismo so special and unique :)
I agree. No wonder I felt so uncomfortable with GT5, because it felt so rushed and unpolished. GT6 is just sounding a lot more better than it, and I also like the fact that GT6 is more organised as well. :)
I just read in a magazine that GT6 is a last call for the Gran Turismo series. It wont be released for PS4 because Sony doesn’t believe in the franchise, instead they chose Drive Club as their release game. They also mentioned that GT6 is more an expansion of GT5 than it is a new game. I get so provoked when reading that in a magazine. Youtube comments can easily be shaked off, as can forum posts. They did the same for GT5, it was even listed in this same magazine as number 2 in a list of “Top 5 Success games with horrible odds”. They were actually surprised by the sales of GT5. I bet they sit there with their Xboxes and Forza t-shirts when they write this stuff.
GRAN TURISMO FOR LIFE! :D
Yes, take my whole wallet.
I’ll buy everything. Cars, tracks, whatever.
I’ll sell you a badly scetched Nissan GT-R with a GT Logo on the side for a million bucks ;)
great, looks like we’re buying a half finished game again… tracks should be free DLC’s but it should really be ON THE DISK ….. Paying for Car DLC’s is fine…. no wonder the release date is so quick after GT5 lol
The biggest problem with track DLC is that it does split up the community. What i’m hoping Polyphony does, is that if you don’t have the track you can still race on it in multiplayer, but the host has to select that track. If you host a lobby, you can’t do it yourself. Although I thought that was already possible in GT5? So hopefully it carries over.
I always think about spa (and remember, they finished that track after the release, now we’re talkinb about stuff left out from the disk), a track that i wanted so much, online after track vote the situation was always like ”half of the lobby don’t have it, revote”. With cars it’s ok, with tracks doesn’t work at all in my opinion, you will end using them only in free run. People is happy to hear news like this, personally i’m like boosted, we will have a good gt ruined by this. Sony will never let pd do what you say omggitsbees, even if i think that way can make everyone happy without ruining the game.
Hopefully Polyphony is finally starting to listen to it’s fans….Not the cry babies but the die hard race fans! Give us great tracks, great cars and you will have fans well into their 50’s and 60’s. People that have the disposable income to buy consoles, rigs and so forth but don’t necessarily have the time to spend a weekend at their local track. It really isn’t rocket science!
I’d like to see all the tracks from the previous games. Red Rock Valley, Grinderwald, El Capitan, Smokey Mountain, Grand Canyan, Apricot Hill, Midfield, Driving Park and the list goes on!
@GTchicken, I completely agree. I particularly love Apricot Hill and Midfield, easily two of my favorite original tracks they’ve made.
@GTchicken
+10,000, I love all of those tracks, please bring them back at some point in the GT series, along with the ‘Coffee Break’ feature during licenses, which were fun little mini-games.
Lol, I read about the track releases over a week ago. Hey don’t forget about the Concours de Elegance cars too. There is that Ferrari, the Ghia Plymouth concept, and I forget the other one at the moment
Mary’s Camaro is all I care about. Will he spending countless hours driving my dream car. Please get the exhaust note right though.
Well according to that interview, the engineer team photograph, scan, smell and taste the cars, but lets hope they start listening to them as well.
Polyphony should release the DLC tracks and cars for free for GT6! Or, at least be able to purchase them with your Gran Turismo credits.
It takes man hours to create. Which means real cash has to paid to these people. They should and will charge real cash for them.
Of course they need to be paid. The point is, Gran Turismo 6 is supposed to be like GT5 completed. As long as they get all of the tracks that I miss and add new tracks after that, thats fine.
For the brilliant work Polyphony does, they does the money. Polyphony puts alot of time and care into making every GT technically perfect and beautiful!
Good point OwensRacing. I think it’s also important to realize that DLC can be important for the company to be able to maintain the servers. I don’t know if PD is in that particular position like some smaller developers are, but PD and Sony would need a little money to maintain them and monthly DLC would greatly help if the community supports it. Just think to yourself, these DLC tracks will probably cost like $5, $10 at most. Just think of it as a couple cases of beer, because if it’s a track worth getting then you’ll be having way more fun with that $5-$10 than a case of beer would because the track never runs empty! Video gaming is very cheap for the amount of fun that takes place throughout the lifetime of the product, which is why I have no problems supporting a company like PD through buying their monthly DLC… if I like the content.
Every game Polyphony makes is a piece of art and fine craftsmanship. Unlike Need For Speed, Polyphony takes time and puts alot of effort into making every game. I have purchased DLC for Gran Turismo 5 in the past. I bought the cool disco kart tracks and the test tracks in GT5.
Gt6 is not suppose to be like GT5 completed, it’s like saying GT5 was GT4 completed and so on. We are the only ones saying GT5 wasn’t completed. Kaz said he wanted more development time for GT5, but in PD’s book, that’s a completed game, not an unfinished project. GT6 is just the next thing.
Paid DLCs are deffinently a good thing as by keeping revenue coming in on the game is how it is maintain, as was mentioned. I’m fine with paying $10 a month for a DLC, $5 being the track pack and $5 for the 5 or 6 new cars. How I would prefer they do it though is each thing individually, $5 a track and $1 per car.
Gran Turismo 5 is not my favorite in the series for many reasons. I am really looking forward to Gran Turismo 6 and cant wait to play it! I think my GT5 game will be collecting dust when GT6 is released.
@racingRAW – What amazingly cheap beer are you drinking for $5-$10 per case?! Decent beer by me is about $1.50 each!
Anyway since I spend about $15/wk on said beer it’ll be easy to pick up a DLC once a month instead of barley and hoops for one week ;-)
I love this game and will buy the DLC no matter what.
I certainly don’t mind at all. Turn 10 did a good job making monthly DLC for Forza, but were only cars and not tracks sadly. :\ I wonder how many cars PD will release? It doesn’t have to be 10, it can at least be 5 cars a month or something. Just “one” track at a time PD, than after you’ve finished that, than you’re home free letting us know you’re done. :)
I’m gonna go with 1 location at a time, because if there are different layouts I’d rather buy it as a location instead of keep getting different layouts from one track for 4 months.
^ True. I could go with that too, makes good sense. :)
I don’t know why they would release different versions of the same environment over time.. that just seems stupid.
^ Well for one like Yas Marina Circuit, that may take awhle but I understand what you mean. Lol it’ll piss everyone off.
God, can you imagine how awesome the Yas Marina Circuit will be at night in GT6’s graphics?
OMG. I know excatly what you mean @sangdude. :) Them night photos from there.
*.* :drool:
Toko, would you like to see the Yas Marina Circuit to be divided into day time and night time or to have the time change just in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where they start in the day time (afternoon) and finish in the night time? Let’s have all of 3, imo :)
Maybe they will release different layouts of the same location. Take Willow springs, There are 3, even 4 separate tracks there. Who knows if all will be available on disc. I hope they will be, but then again, I would pay for the different layouts.
@sangdude Absolutely! The more tracks with day/night cycle, the better. :)
Oops, it meant to be ‘just like in’
Hi everybody, i’m new on this page but let’s get to the important bit: is the Scuderiaa Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione going to be in the game, because i saw an image of some PD-guys taking photos of it and of the Alfa DTM Race Car
Hey man, welcome to GTPlanet. :) I’m not too sure, but there could be an high chance we’ll see the Alfa and Lancia. The P4/5 could also be a high chance too.
Yeah, hopefully. So we can race it against the GT3 cars like Audi and BMW even if it’s a GT2 underneath. :)
Ehhh.. big deal. The DLC on GT5, especially the cars wasnt that special and I kinda felt ripped off. Perhaps if they stick to their schedule and offer new and different cars, not standards to premiums, then I’ll be more inclined to buy it.
The standard to premium was the only time I felt ripped off. I was a little disappointed in the TC pack that there was only 1 car that wasnt Japanese and no European cars. When we think GT racers we think European cars, why didnt we get any ones that are actually raced in real life?
The spa dlc was pretty awesome, most the cars were pretty weak, but I certainly don’t feel “ripped off”.
I reckon a lot of people will be happy if they convert the Toyota Supra from standard to premium and put on GT6. If not, release it as a DLC later.
Kaz you have great taste in cars!
So GT6 will have 7 new tracks, and thats it. You’ll have to pay even more money for the rest.
7 new tracks is a lot of tracks in fact. It may not sound like that, but 7 is a big number when talking about tracks.
Umm, 7 locations ontop of 33 – that’s almost 25% more than GT5 came out with…
I agree, 7 is a good number, assuming that is 7 locations and not 3 locations with a total if 7 layouts
Seven locations and nineteen layouts.
yeah… like the new sound, it’s blurry enough to tease you but without to be 100% sure it will really happen…. typical PD PR.
That’s a fair-enough comment :)
What’s blurry about there will be at least one DLC track every month? Stretching the interpretaion a bit aren’t we?
I would like to see Interlagos circuit, (Sao Paulo, Brazil), the new COTA – Circuit of the Americas (Texas, USA), A1-Ring (Austria), Hockenheimring (Hockenheim, Germany)…
+1
Yes, all of those please :) Btw, A1-Ring became ‘Red Bull Ring’ since late in 2008 since Red Bull has done a €70m reconstruction.
Touge, please.
Yes, all the drifters want the touges to be added into GT :D
Although not that big of a deal, I hope there is a season pass this time for the DLC. With GT5, the DLC, PD just kinda winged it a year into the game. I’m glad they are actually planning for DLC this time from the start.
I hope that they will release the detail of DLC cars & tracks. I also hope that while PD staff were in Australia, they’ve scanned some of latest HSV & FPV cars as well as V8 Supercars.
I would like some of the classic Bathurst cars:
Torana A9X
Torana XU1
Ford GTHO
Ford XC Falcon
etc.
and the Gibson Motorsport Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R that won the 1992 Bathurst 1000 which ended the Australian Group A Touring Car Championship and brought the Holden vs. Ford era.
I actually rang Holden (I live in S.A. so it was a local call) and they said that they have not been approached by either Sony or PD…
However, that does not mean I was told the truth! They are probably keeping it on the down low by agreement.
As there are two Holdens in GT5, I would not be surprised if they have updated them to premium models. But the two Fords from GT4, what happened to them!? Ok, they left them out of GT5 – I hope they come back in GT6!
The cars hotdogxx60 mentioned Would be a great inclusion, though not as race cars. Have them as Australian Muscle but use the Race Modification section in GTAuto to do them up as Bathurst cars and (hopefully) use the Livery Editor to obtain one of up to ten different liveries for that particular car… (I can see every man and his dog using Brock’s on a Holden and Moffatt’s on a Ford!)
I dont agree with Day 1 DLC, if its done then put it in the game via a patch… asking for people who have just bought the game to then pay a few bucks more is a little cheeky
May be they are following Turn’s 10 way of making money. Still, it’s hard to believe the PD with their promise of monthly car & track DLCs for GT6 considering they couldn’t even deliver their promised of car DLCs every 2 months on GT5.
Is not Day 1 DLC.
@sangdude82 Don’t start with the whole “promise” crap again, because Kaz didn’t promised us nothing…
True, I just had a look at the GT6 presentation and it just said ‘cars & tracks will be added online’. Sorry guys. But Toko, I’m sure that some people will complain about the promise crap on this page lol.
They will always complain and make assumptions.
@sangdude82 lol. That’s just how it is. :)
Yeah, just like gt5 got dlc every 3 months, huh?
Ahh remember those crazy 9 months…
Mount Panorama aka Bathurst. GT-6 would be worth the price of admission for that track alone. Now all we need is a Commodore with the Mobil 05 livery :-)
Bathurst better be one of 7 new tracks and available from day 1 on the disc…
It was scanned at about the same time as Silverstone, earlier I think and a V8 championship would be a nice addition to the series :)
Aus V8 Supercars Championship along with GT3 Championship on GT6 will drive the racing fans crazy :D
As long as they aren’t released on release date!
Bathurst anyone?
Fantastic news!! :)
