Hybrids, hacking, modding – call it what you will, the practice of fiddling with the car stable of Gran Turismo outside the usual confines of the game is almost as old as the series itself.
But in this online era of gaming, these methods can have a dramatic effect on the community and mutual trust between gamers – for every “realistic replica” creator or Lunar Rover addict there’s a whole mess of individuals who just want masses of horsepower or to cheat their way to the top of the Seasonal Event leaderboards.
This is why modders of all stripes are waking up this morning to find their access to GT6’s online sections curtailed as Sony take action against the practice:
Notice of Account Ban Measures
We have recently confirmed usage of illicitly modified game data in the online services of Gran Turismo 6, and the relevant accounts have now been banned from the service.Hereafter, these Online IDs will no longer be able to access the online features of Gran Turismo 6.
Please be aware that usage of illicitly modified game data and any mischievous conduct against other players using such data are strictly prohibited, and will be subject to penalties as soon as they are found.
We ask everyone for their continued understanding and support.
Similar action has occurred in the past with GT5, first banning users and changing Seasonal Event parameters to exclude these vehicles and then releasing a game update to remove them from user garages. With GT5’s online closing down next month, Sony & Polyphony Digital are clearly hoping to preserve the integrity of GT6 as gamers move across.

okay agree that hacking and certain mods are terrible but to ban them is a bit much plus not all mods are bad an example one mod for rfactor2 brought all the gt cars from the American Le Mans Series to the gamethe mod was called the endurance racing x mod which was freaking awesome and it didn’t change any of the in game physics here is a link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6MMaojZLA
Because they fail on a normal level, noobs turn to glitches and hacks.
No matter what arguments they (or their supporters) come up with trying to defend their actions, i say if you can’t play a game the way it was intended, then stay away from gaming.
If you find it neccesary to mess with a game, lets see you build your own game first.
I personnaly think that this is stupid, there is no intention of banning these so called ‘hackers’, all they’re doing is messing with the game which is causing no harm, some of hacks, are yes extremely annoying but some of now are really cool, for example the ‘Slamming’ in GT5. They should just let it go and move on…
Hacking the cars is a joke if you hack cars then join a lobby where everyone isn’t using hack cars your lame. its about fair competition everyone on the same field under the same parameters. its not even hard to mod the cars. All it shows is the “hackers” have no skills what so ever. People who buy this game want a racing simulator not some pos game where someone can change the parameters at will. However if you set up lobby for just hack crap that a little different. there is two sides to it. all im saying is if you hack to gain an advantage your a joke and should just through the game in the garbage
If they dont want people to use hacking tools, they should add offset and engine swaps etc. in game. that way they dont need to ban people for doing this stuff..
You can say im an id*ot for saying this, but come on PD!
people are modding ride height and HP
Pd be like: “Yeah.. lets ban those modders and lets add a gps tracker! then everyone will be happy!”
NO.
(ps. my english might suck in here)
You don’t get? Hackjobs and Cheaters aren’t satisfied with whatever PD or any other online game producer brings to the table. Heck, I ain’t happy with the “regular” crap GT6 has to offer. But I still enjoy playing within the bounderies set forth by the creator. Not satisfied but still enjoy… get it? Anyone for lemonade? Sweet yet sour.
OMT, no one is keeping you from producing kick ass driving sim, racer, whatever. Anyone ever tell you that although the squeaky wheel gets the grease BUT the b…h only gets f….d?
I’m glad AC cars and Ford didn’t do this to Carroll Shelby…
Yes, because hacking parameters of cars in a game is completely analogous to real life tuning.
I understand the premise of what you’re saying, if you buy GT6 you should be allowed to hack it as much as you like. The problem is plenty of people use hacked cars to cheat online events, and that is wrong. Imagine if a tuner Skyline R34 was allowed to enter a race of stock R34
“Imagine if a tuner Skyline R34 was allowed to enter a race of stock R34”
Even when I raced karts we did spec checks and tear downs. Imagine what would happen if a race series (or video game) didn’t have spec checks what would you have? Why you’d have GT6.
I heard that the only way that you get banned is if people report you. As long as the modders make their hacked car lobbies, and only use them there, then I have no problem with it. The problem is that others are going into hacked cars lobbies and are reporting everyone there smh.
I’ve seen this movie before me thinks…
it’s about damn time, why can’ people learn that hacking/modding/hybriding cars is illegal and against the terms of service that you ALL accepted NOT to do when you open up the game. I’m all for it when hackers get put in their place and banned from a game that they so choose to cheat on. playing with other “hackers” isn’t enough incentive to tell them to stop doing it.
long story shirt, I’m glad the hackers and modder’s are getting picked off one by one.
Except they aren’t banned from the game and will be right back at it as soon as they fire up their PS3. This PSN ID ban means nothing to a hacker.
+1
I hope they actually make sure that the cheating is confirmed before banning, other games have banned people who were legitimately smashing any and all competition.
What, like Activision have been doing, solely against PS3 and 4 players for CoD:G just for being part of a lobby run by a hacker?
Sounds too much like Xbox Live.
That is a really good job PD; I’m not a miracle race pilot, but sure there is it something quite strange when some one can put a time 30 second lower of the gold time, it’s clear like the Sun… it’s stupid, it’s worthless (you’re a loser anyway, even putting the first time on the leaderboard), it’s unfair to ones, like me, that just want to drive the best they can and have some fun.
Hacking noobs, I hope they all get banned.
If you need to hack or mod to get an advantage over the other oponet then you should just stop playing competitive games. I do feel this fame needs more modifications that allow chassis swaps like in forza. Giving this is a driving simulator I understand their concerns with doing this, but it would probably stop 80% of the modding we see. You don’t see many people hacking or modding in forza, simply because there are so much things you can do with the cars they don’t need to waste their time. There is only so much you can do on gt6 before it gets boring.
You got that right. Nothing like a V8 in an AWD Pontiac Fiero!
Or a AWD FTO, AWD Focus RS (like it should’ve been), AWD Beetle with a supercharged VW L5 engine, A 2003 Viper with the late model 8.4 V10 plus the ACR paint job, a Legacy with a twin turbo 390HP Boxer Six and an STi style body kit, amongst others.
Little things like these would make GT6 much more fun…
Oh! And my latest creation!! An ugly ricer Civic coupe with RWD and a Honda S2000 engine. Even though I dislike JDM cars, especially Hondas, this gave me an ear to ear smile. I never enjoyed a car game this much.
Aye Husky. If I could hack some awesome whips, I would… on a seperate, OFF-LINE, account. It’s the CHEATING to post ridiculous times on leaderboards and sneaking in super silly $… into rooms that peeve us.
Those who oppose PD’s actions to control the aspect of fair play don’t seem to get it or have yet to intelligently acknowledge the fact that though honest folk can refrain from using hack jobs under supposedly regulated contests. It’s the knuckleheaded that ruin it for those who enjoy the act of hacking.
It’s not like PD doesn’t have the ability to have separate rooms to allow ‘altered’ whips. But why should they?
And which leaderboards in GT6 have hacked cars at the top?…you know..so we can figure out the scope of the problem so far.
Amen HuskyGT!!
Good for PD. Last week, I saw a Jaguar XJ220 that was going 951 mph, with 560000 hp. I saw it through the player list. Then on Monday, I saw a Red Bull X2014 Junior with 972 hp accelerating like a bat out of hell. I don’t have a problem with them, they just get kicked, and most of them never come to my rooms afterwards.
I’ve noticed some increasingly faster cars just nailing people down the straights.
It’s frustrating when you can’t trust people online. I don’t mind getting beaten in a fair fight. I hate being beaten by the unbeatable.
Name and shame I say!
I notice any form of illegal activity online, i report that player to Sony using the grief report option.
If more ppl report a certain individual person, it’s more likely they can take more severe measures against them, rather the PD with a PSN id ban.
Hybrids, hacking, modding ruin GT5 and again they are doing the same on GT6, the game is far from perfect and not even close for what they promisse, but they are fixing the game, hope when GT5 shut down GT6 improve more, and now they have to change their work to ban and prevent hacking…
in GT5 hackers start to take wings, etc in GT6 PD give us that tool, and we can take off the wings recently give us more types of wings, don´t understand where is the fun to put a Red Bull chassis or engine in other car, etc, i like to drive and race with cars close to stock, can tune suspension to be more easier to race
I could honestly care less if there is modding in GT6,it was in GT5 for awhile and I never seen it in a race room,I’ve only seen it in drift rooms and yea I’m sure it affects leaderboards on seasonal events but again I could care less about seasonal events it was just a means of making easy money.This is just my opinion
Can someone explain what hacking does?….Cure your impatience? Make you happy to be the “fastest”? Make you the fast dude in the lobby in the 500pp street car room on Sport tires?…Im serious, Im curious. All I have read thus far just tells me that the game isn’t what you want…?
I don’t mod, but can see the appeal of putting the Calsonic GT500 GTR engine in a stock GTR for example. For me it would be more about having something more to do off track due to the limited customisation options in GT at present.
I have not done any hybrids since GT3, but back then I must have “made” hundreds of cars, all just for the fun of seeing what you could get out of different combos.
One day I would get my mind set on putting together the most realistic hybrids. Things that you could realistically build in reality. The next day I might get the notion to make something completely impossible in the real world, (or just plain silly, even if it was possible) just to see what would come of it, (assuming it was even remotely drivable).
I never did it for any kind of competitive edge, or because I couldn’t win with what PD provided. It was only about the fun of experimentation.
That said, I haven’t messed with it in a long time, but If I where to get back into it, I definitely wouldn’t be going anywhere near online with my creations. Has it was years ago, it would be a private thing for me, and merely for the fun of experimenting with the game assets.
Frankly, I could never gain any sense of accomplishment in the competitive sense from hybrids that I would make. For me, no matter what the game, that sense can only come from playing within the rules of the game. Hacking/ modding a game is just something else to do for fun when not otherwise playing the game has intended, and not something I ever use to gain unfair advantages over others.
I can’t speak for anyone else of course, but that’s what it did for me.
SONY and Plundering Dummies don’t need the hackers help in ruining GT6. They’re both doing just fine by themselves.
“We ask everyone for their continued understanding and support”
Well guess what SONY & PD, unless you start showing respect and considerations to the people that mad you millions, you will get none of it. And if you are so ignorant as to believe that shutting down GT5 after just a few years will force the cattle that you think we are to move to that shameful GT6, think again if that intellectual faculty hasn’t completely escaped you yet.
Mo
WOW, LOL.
Why did in the first place then, or any of the hackers? If you people are so unhappy with the title move ON. It’s not hard people have done it before. And you ask for respect, LOL
@ Zuel, because we were promised and then let down, we have already bought the game! that’s why..
Glad those dumb hackers are going to be wrecking their own lives instead of other peoples THOUGH.
WOW, we were promised this and that and let down, so bloody what, so hacking makes it all better does it ? those who hack are just losers and those who condone it are just as bad, yeah you might not be able along with thousands of others so you cheat….. YES CHEAT….. Just to make yourself look good when in fact you’re a below average gamer who should stick with COD instead of top games like GT. These games don’t come out every year for a reason and they work damn hard to make them, be grateful they work for Sony and not EA where they knock out a game every 12 months of such quality that you’d get bored and walk away because it’s same old rubbish year in year out…..
You talking to me ttfn? If you advertise something to get sales and then the goods never materialise, you lose customers and reputation, I would certainly not practice that in my line of business, because I wouldn’t get any further ahead if I did.
ttfn you clearly don’t read comments to the end nor do you understand them, so I give up.
Plundering dummies
Just move on! After 15 years of supporting GT, I moved to another game that satisfies and understands my passion for cars much better.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning, but now I don’t miss GT a bit… Only the physics though. But Forza isn’t that bad.
Good ban them. Thank you pd
I guess the hackjobs’ only gripe would be that they cain’t share their silly… sorry, creative juices with each other. PD’s response IS righteous. You guys (hackjobs) are going to have to settle for photo sharing or something.
The rest of us can now relax, hopefully, and enjoy online racing the way PD intended. LOL, as if PD really understood what it’s community wanted.
Oh no! Hackers? Ban their accounts! It’s not like they can make brand new ones at no expense!
great now you gave sony an idea on how to make more money!!
True enough…people just aren’t bright enough to realize this PSN ID ban means nothing to a hacker.
I wish PD understood that if they gave us complete customisation no one would want to hack. The only reason I hack is to make realistic cars that I wouldn’t have been able to make without hacks.
Dude your missing the point ,people only hack coz they are no damn good at the game and feel they need to get the edge without practice, its a level playing field until these idiots start messing ,……if the game is not up to expectation then move to game that does.You have mentioned that you hack lets hope your banned in the near future sorry we dont need you .
Thank goodness that PD is banning these hackers, they ruin the game for non-hackers like me at times.
Good I think instead of hacking to cheat we should leave it to proper hackers to fix gt6,they should fix everythig thats wrong with gt6 like non static third person view and 360° view around the car in THIRD view among other things,rant over.
Kaz pushing people’s patience since gt5 was first announced :D
Wow how pathetic of PD, the hackers should make a class action law suit against them, why the hell are they wasting their time on this when they should be bringing back proper seasonals, and adding the features to the game due at launch. Really PD, priorities.
No, how pathetic off you to waffle about class action lawsuits when the cheaters have actually broken terms of use. Also law suits are for serious issues, not whining kids getting their toys taken away in their fav computer game.
What sort of schooling did you get, we’re the users, try reading the small print where it says “the program cannot and shouldn’t be altered or tampered with”….. you can read english i assume ?
Good luck with a class action lawsuit demanding that an illegal activity should have more rights than a legitimate one…
Personally, offline modding to me is fine but when folks used mods for online play then that to me is a very big issue especially for folks who play by the rules and try to earn merits by trial and error as opposed to cheating.
Hmm, someone could just copy and paste the GT5 Forums on this subject and be done with it. BORING!
Polyphony Takes Action Against GT6 HACKERS
(fixed)
They’re actually different. A hacker can break into a network, pc, system, game, etc. and change things around or introduce completely new things to the said platform that originally were not originally there.
A modder can only take aspects of a system that are already there and manipulate them.
Examples: Making cars fly, bringing in cars that don’t exist, making someone else’s game/car/character react involuntarily on demand and @ will is hacker work.
Increasing HP, invincibility, speed/power/strength increase, suspension changes, etc. is modder work.
Side Note:
I understand the need to stop performance mod abusers, but some of the intolerance for opinions that aren’t in align with one’s own on display here is ridiculous to say the least.
ALL MODDERS ARE NOT CHEATERS.
Once upon a time, games had cheat codes, select button presses, and passwords that allowed infinite this and unlimited that, or one could use a gameshark or codebreaker to add features to their games. Now a days with DLC trends, certain things now have to be payed for to enjoy rather than codes put in. Games don’t have to be “completed” to be sold, and content planned before a games can be held back for extra revenue or to stimulate sales later in a games life-cycle.
I don’t blame some of these modders. I’m not into hella-flush, but I’ve seen many pictures and some of thesecars are really cool! Wider tires and wheel stances should have made it into the GT series 3 iterations ago! GT is progressing really slowly, and although many mods shouldn’t be allowed, I feel a ban-hammer is too harsh.It should further show PD how dissatisfied and disappointed their fanbase are @ present and that they need to deliver. I don’t even play GT6 anymore, and I can imagine how difficult it is for some to find enjoyment @ current. GT6 is barely an update, let alone a sequel. Some of you are just prejudiced against opinions that do not correlate with your own. I used to mod on TDU2 and it breathed new life into a dead game and gave access to many things unreachable by any other means.
that’s all good SZRT…but all falls down when they go into seasonal events and spoil everyone else is fun for the hell of it….so banned is correct.anyway you don’t play the game ..but cant stop commenting your opinions … you love it really…haha
great news
Man, there goes the fun. Never got banned in GT5, but i never raced them in seasonals or trails. Show and looks basically, who wouldnt want a RWD GTR.
Huh, imagine that….something from the community has finally gotten PD’s attention…
Hacking and modding to heat bothers me but hacking an modding to improve the game i’m ok with. I’m a rally buff and often play RBR (Richard Burns Rally) The game itself kinda sucks but once you add user created patches an Mods the game becomes the best rally car game i’ve played. GTA on PC also is drastically improved by user created content. These mods don’t give one person a cheaters advantage but instead give everyone a better experience of the game, Pd should put together a team of free lance game creators/modders and let them hack away at the game to improve it and Pd could then decide what to add to the game. Kaz is against outsource creation and i think its wrong of him because the series could be so much better than it is if he let other people do some of the work and maybe it would help him hit a promised deadline for once in his life. I don’t understand how this man has gotten anywhere in his career with all the missed deadlines and broken promises, If i did that at any of my 3 jobs i bet i would get fired on the spot.
How specifically does it make it better…just more HP?
While I agree with nailing the hackers, PD should be hiring these people instead of blocking them! Maybe then, well see results!
“we’ll”, sorry grammar nazis….
There was already hybriding in GT6? Lol damn. I miss the hybriding days in GT5. That is, the realistic hybrids.
AHHAHAH! I’ll be never seeing you again as soon as I get home and log on! (I hope none of you were my friends… I wonder if that’s why one of my friends changed user names in gt5…)
I know this is kind of a grey area, and personally although I’ve been against modders in the past, I do accept certain aspects of this. I understand the legal stuff behind it and terms of service and what not, but we are talking about “the most advanced and best console racing game.” Let’s put it this way:
-In certain game I can swap the engine of my “A” car with the engine of “B” car, change the drivetrain, and enjoy.
-In GT5/6 I can swap the engine of my “A” car with the engine of “B” car, change the drivetrain and get banned.
Alright. Seems fair, I guess.
But in game A, all the swapping is within the confines of the system to keep parity between cars.
In game B, the car with the swap still poses as a car without a swap and bypasses the parity system.
I know, but you would expect for GT to have such features that lesser games have. It’s not about hacking into the game, it’s the fact that PD still hasn’t delivered a game up to its reputation. GT is still better, but so many simple things would make it even better.
No, it IS about hacking. That’s the point.
It’s cool that PD is banning those who hack/mod the game, but they should also fix the game as well. Oh, and don’t forget about the promised features. I wish GT6 had support similar to GT5. I’ll come back, but not yet. :)
personally I think hacking is wrong but can you really blame them. I mean come on PD think with your :censored: brains here maybe if you would fix the many glitches and give us the content updates every month like YOU said YOU would YOU would not have as many problems with hacking. hackers were a problem in GT5 but in GT6 PD is the problem I say we just boycott PD and go back to playing gt5
For many people, hacking isn’t about fixing glitches – very few hackers know how to fix glitches. Instead, it’s about cheating and getting an unfair advantage.
@ CZR:
Not always bruh. Even Famine, the one who wrote this article isn’t ignorant enough to make such a statement and even acknowledged the visual modders out there.
Way to go, PD. Instead of fixing whats broken (there is a lot of it) and providing content that keeps gamers interest in the Game high, they ban players that tried to keep their interest high by doing it themselves. Although it is hounourable that they try to keep the Online modes balanced and fair, it ruins the fun for players who were just messing about not wanting to ruin the gaming experience for others.
Doesn’t PD see why people hack, mod, whatever? Because their game is, speaking long-term, not good. It does not offer anything to keep players interested for more than half a year.
They went through all the effort (and money) for the astronomic simulation, the Lunar exploration, the GPS data logger and so on, but these features are hardly enough to satisfy the gamers. Worse still, they forgot about the core of the game. 70% or so of GT6 are dating
back to the PS2 days, starting with the standard cars, the sounds and the tracks, and yet they are still charging 60 bucks for it. 60 bucks for what exactly? For 2008 graphics? No wonder the GT franchise is slowly dying.
Well this escalated quickly.
All I’m trying to say is that PD really needs to stop concentrating on the few players who
mod, and start to concentrate on the game itself.
Besides, if someone is cheating in your lobby, is it that difficult to simply kick him?
I mean, thats what this feature is for, isn’t it?
The Ignorance is high in this one
Are you trying to be derp?
In my opinion, they fixed one of the most important things.
I try to compare my best abilities to everyone else. Now on equal footing.
I do understand wanting to mod cars with swaps and stuff. But I don’t understand then wanting to compete with others online with an unfair advantage.
The GT series has always billed itself as the ultimate DRIVING sim. As such the physics, not the cars, are the most important thing. I really really like the updates from GT5 to GT6 concerning physics. The game drives great.
Thanks, PD! This really should help curtail hackers. One thing I think they should do, though, is implement a “Report Player” function like Rockstar has implemented in GTA Online. You’d be able to report hackers, dirty drivers, people abusing others over voice chat, etc. to PD for review. Combined with the measures already in place, that would pretty much stop hackers. Maybe also a very discreet game data check as part of the online function’s startup procedure a la Mass Effect 3.
For all those saying, “Oh, the modders will just work around this penalty…” You’re probably right. Should we just give up on laws because criminals will break them?
Who the hell is modding GT6. What hypocrits PD are, the modders would be the only thing making this game a bit more relevant. They should be happy modders even give enough of a damn to even touch the game seeing how it seems that most of the fans couldn’t be bothered to do so
If someone “modded” the game to create unique content like other racing titles, you might have a point. But, just boosting performance to cheat, or worse changing the code so you can record a lap time of 0.001 of the Nordschleife…what’s the point in that? That’s what modders have been doing on GT6.
I see this as being vital to prevent poor drivers from entering GT Academy. I also see the academy as being why we received four seasonals so quickly.
How is that vital? If the offenders were to make into the “show” , I do believe they would be found out in very short order, what they and their skills really are???
oneeye..Are you nuts….whats the point of that…all those who really tried to win will not get to the show..because there are idiots wasting opportunities that some one else would really appreciate..
Common sense out the window again.
How?
How? No one learned from the last hack. That’s what I mean buy common sense out the window again. If the people want something that GT doesn’t offer find it someone and stop funking it up for the rest of us. It’s simple, though its not simple enough for the people that are hacking the data.
I guess this means that I can win online races again :) …it look like on a 500pp race I was the onlyone with a 500pp car & everybody else had their Honda CRXs at 900pp, once I was like 3 laps behind & the other guys would pass me like nothing.
Banning the accounts won’t help much, because they just make a new PSN account and do it again. They need to take a different approach to it. Banning the IP address if that’s posible or legal action? I do understand that people want more to the current customization options but people act as if they were cheated by PD.
I remember each GT and was happy with it because it got harder and that made it better, made us better. If modders want to change it or make it to Their own game, then get off your ass and get a job at PD or create one instead of ruining a companies masterpiece. If you had worked hard at something or built something and devoted your life to it and someone else came and changed the work and vision you worked so hard to complete,what would you do?
+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
AND AN APPLE PIE TO BOOT.
If every time you log on, they detect modded content and you are not allowed access to online content…. That seems like it should work.
You can report known sockpuppeteers (people who operate multiple malicious accounts) to SCE for moderation. Usually, though, they simply block all of the person’s known accounts as hardblocking the IP can cause problems for everyone in that area.
On the topic of the modders, I agree. I’d be peeved to no end if someone modified something I and the 109 people surrounding me for their own selfish ends. I worked hard for this, and now you’re going to do a piss-take on it? What the heck!
…something I and the 109 people surrounding me *have been working on for the past 5 years
Easy: Don’t use them online.
And you think that will fix the problem?
Didn’t even know this was a problem yet, and I’m not gonna lie it looks pretty sweet to be driving those moon rovers. However, this is great news and I applaud PD for keeping the game fair for all of us, hacking really isn’t something that should be imbrassed and I’m glad the cheaters are getting the can!
Haha there’s my LRV pic! XD
That race was good fun anyway.
I wish I could have done that too, that looks like fun.
Haha trust me man, it was. I have the replay saved, and I might record it and upload it to YouTube.
I wonder who’s getting banned… lol :P
Job well done, it’s about time!
thankx PD well done .
Now give us good stuff .
It’s about time!!!!!
Good job PD but you must know why it happened in the first place…bcos you ignored the community….
It would have happened no matter what. Even if GT6 was fantastically amazing, modding would still have happened. It has nothing to do with PD ignoring the community.
Offline modding is awesome. People ruin it by bringing it online just to ruin other’s fun. Herein lies the dilemma.
correct only wickedness brings it online
I despise all forms of modified game content when such content is not to be changed in any form or way, good or bad, but this is hilarious…Lunar Rovers on Earth racing circuits…LOL.
Give us all the real content and not a GPS Data logger for the minority of users that might have such an equiped vehicle that may be a registered user of GT and maybe I’l return….iRacing loves my participation…just sayin’.
LMBO!!! They got caught!
XD
FINALLY!
YES! Good work PD! Nice to see it as early as this, now we dont have to worry about people messig up me e lobs
Agreed Stig.
Why don’t PD fix the game instead of banning people who are trying to fix it for them
How is hacking ‘fixing’ the game – not the article talks about the kids who just want to cheat.
Hackers do everything BUT fix games. Shame on you if you are one.
The integrity of online would be a lot greater if they’d fix stiff like the pit bug…
Does anyone have any videos of the lunar rover on a racetrack, like in the picture?
People have to cheat because there’s nothing to do in GT6, so sad and PD instead of revealing something sensible to game they are aiming to fight against modders, that’s ridiculous :/
And having to fix the game (because they will, as the hackers won’t listen) means the rest of us will need to wait longer for those updates which do further the game…
No, its ridiculous how you think modding GT6 is acceptable. The modders are only proving that they have to cheat to win because they don’t have the skill like everyone else.
What? That makes no sense. People mod and hack no matter how amazing a game is.
1) Yay and thank you. I don’t care what you say, online is for fair competition.
2) I don’t yet believe it because hacks showed up on GT5 after the ban.
Another ridiculous statement that lacks any common sense or logic.
No one messes with the PD. Let this be a lesson to all modders.
Are you kidding me? This feeble attempt of trying to stop the modders,hackers/hybriders is not going to slow them down in the least. 10 minutes later and they’re up and running again. PD needs to take more drastic measures than this, seriously. I applaud them for recognizing and at least making an attempt at this, but they need to do way more than just account bans.
Ha,Ha, not a modder/hacker or whatever you call them.Cargo is %100 correct. PD/Sony wake up?
Get your heads out of your arse and fix the game first. Then permanently ban their consoles and problem solved.
Even Console Bans can be worked around..
Good news, everyone!
All the problems with GT6 have been fixed and promises delivered!
If that was really true then there wouldn’t be any modding of the game. PD still doesn’t care enough about the people who have invested in the GT series. PD saw what the modders were doing with GT5 and the previous GT games. PD made a very feeble attempt with customizations even with this last update.
Who gives a hoot about a GPS data logger when it was originally was supposed to let you use your GPS to build tracks of the roads you drive everyday? The worst thing that PD has lost site of is the community of gamers like we had with GT5 being able to trade cars, gear, paint etc. Not everyone knew about the money glitch and PD made sure it got stopped. i started another game just to see how far you could get without the money glitch. It took me 3 months to get 65 cars and just a tad over 7 mil worth of credits. I got as far as I wanted with both games and quit. I haven’t played GT6 in over 2 months. i went back to GT5 ver. 2.11. I have more fun with GT5 than i ever did with GT6. PD should give us some Seasonal Races instead of this #$%^ Time Trial crap to win some serious credits and some cars or descent paint chips. Only those of us that did the money glitch have the credits to buy a car just for a paint chip.
I do not support modding to cheat others in lobbies or to cheat PD’s so called “Seasonals”. I do however support modding for personal pleasure as it helps extend the life and playabilty of the game. IMHO PD has dropped the ball when it comes to GT6 which is why people are already modding the game data. Once you have gotten to the S races there isn’t anything left. A lot of people have completed the entire game long ago and sit waiting for content from PD which so far has been pitiful.
Thats great news! I have a huge respect to PD.. Online must be a place where everyone are playing by the same rules.. Many times in modern gaming these “online moders” ruin the free good time I was having….
