Beats me.

Can't wait to buy the game then buy a Bugatti Cherblerer for $120.

Why? Because they're not trying to ram you off the road?

Standing start can't overcome weak AI in this case...

Jezus fuck. I was looking at the real-life footage and thought it looked shit compared to the game. Then i realised it was the other way around.
Man, i'm now fully expecting Epic stuff from GT7 on PS4.
The detail here is insane.

Digital version in EU PSStore is live, downloading right now!

So for more casual fans how much different will it feel than 5? I thought 5 was so...clunky. Still fun, but would this be much different if you didn't exhaust GT5?

Clunky in what sense? The general navigation of the game? If so then that's been completely overhauled.

I read somewhere that it's a performance issue, i.e. the frame rate plummets when all the cars on the grid drop tire smoke at the same time. No idea if that's true or not. Also, lower powered cars and AWD cars generally wouldn't do that, but I digress. I actually probably prefer rolling start to be honest, but I feel for people who prefer the other way (or to at least have the option).

30 minutes you bastards, 30 minutes left to get my hands on the vacuums..

probably because they aren't as good of drivers as real people.

The biggest culprit in the AI appears to be that they take corners slower than they need to.

X-bow is incredible in this game with the new suspension simulation!

It also includes these:

15th Anniversary Cars (20)
15th Anniversary Racing Suit and Helmet
1 Million Credits

Did your Beyond the Apex book come in Chinese or English? I also got the Asian English version and the game itself is has toggleable english/chinese text but really disappointed that I can't read the Apex book

Where are the days where one of the best things about GT was it's opening intro?

Even still, GT6 is so good.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills!

Japanese GT5 intro is basically perfect.

It's definitely much better than the US and EU version with the absolutely terrible My Chemical Romance song.

And seeing how MOTC isn't even in the Japanese intro, the thread title is even more idiotic.

FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT STARTED PLAYING 1.00 VERSION PRIOR TO THE 1.01 UPDATE:

People are reporting how the actual 1.01 update brings changes within actual 1.00 game-structure. There are some changes noted so far over the GTPlanet:

- new career events (Freshman Cup added to National B mode and some others)
- Licenses times have been updated
- Apparently Goodwood Special Events have now issued a prize-cars as well for golding the challenges

Maybe other things have probably been changed as well, so I will be doing a fresh-start for myself and start everything from the beginning (deleting my GT6 Save File from the XMB and start fresh).

Notice how the 1.00 version is an October code that was issued for the traslation, final testings and such, so many things have changed in past 40+ days.

How much wrong can you put into a single post? The GT5 intro song was great, people quite literally hated it before they heard it. If the same song was released by some indie band I am sure you would have loved it.

And the thread title being idiotic? I'd like to see you try to justify that statement.

.

I hope one of those changes is taking SRF off the goodwood events... That was a stupid decision.

Just curious...

Is there a way to play GT6 on PS3 using PS4 controller? Would be great!

Sadly no unless PD patches it. It seems to be linked to the PS3 controller having analog face buttons while the PS4 controller doesn't.

Shorter times now? Because licenses tests were very easy.

Good thing I stopped playing it and waited for the patch.

I HAVE to ask... is there a pattern to your avatar changes..? once a month..? everytime you get a new girlfriend..? please tell me..

So has anyone actually got this game yet? I am having pre order jitters due to lack of reviews / all this day one patch talk! I loved GT5 for the SINGLE player career mode only.

Can someone ease my worrying?

Thanks!
Is there a list of titles that support PS4 controller?

Still no mechanical damage.... Grr...

when are we expecting reviews?

In GT5 the cars start to get slowly when you got a lot of damage... some times the car didn't run anymore... some time I did for fun and the car didn't got over 20mph anymore :D

I don't know that can be called mechanical damage.

It's a whole lot more 'fun' than the snore fest that is GT6.

I shouldn't be surprised, GT5 was just as dull and I spent hours playing that.

Well I guess each to their own, but from a 'sim' perspective, and maybe even just a 'car enthusiast' perspective, I think you're missing the point somewhat, or at least your priorities are very different from mine.

For me, car selection is about the unique characteristics of each vehicle. It is not just about raw performance figures, it's the overall handling that the physics guys at PD work so hard to get right.

In the case of the Vision GT, it's not a real car and therefore the characteristics would be based on a lot of estimated data, so it's understandable that it could be one to avoid (not because it has no interior).

But to dismiss/avoid all the Standard cars due to a lack of modelled interior is to miss out on the majority of the game's content. If you believe that you are getting the same driving experience from picking a Premium car with similar performance, then you are mistaken (unless we're talking about a variant of the same model that appears both in Standard and Premium forms) - you are missing out on the unique driving characteristics of most of the cars in the game.

For me, the cockpit view is about having the correct perspective, to feel like I'm sat in the car as I drive, with the correct eye line, etc. It's why people complained about the stupid hood cam before this cockpit view was available in all cars - the hood cam should have been a substitute for a cockpit view on Standards - but the eye line was wrong (too high). In cockpit view, I can get a better feel for the behaviour of the car, and place it more accurately on the track. Interior modelling is nice, but it is simply eye candy that has no effect on my ability to drive the car, whereas the actual view makes the difference.

I pre-ordered this puppy though amazon prime with release day delivery... no movement on the package yet. "Not yet Shipped".... anyone else in the same boat?

I totally agree with this point. IMO some of the standard cars in GT5 were the BEST cars considering their unique (and challenging) handling. The Ruf BTR, for example, was an absolute pleasure to slide around corners... it also operated on a razor edge and was very easy to tank into a corner. The satisfaction of getting a clean PR on the Nordschleife always put a smile on my face an resulted in watching the entire replay to check out the epic drifts and moments on the absolute edge of traction. I found no premium car that gave me the same joy.

Ugh.. I want this so bad. ;_; Just can't afford it D:

Looking forward to see how the X-Bow compares with Assetto Corsa, is great there.
