The GTR race is effing bs and is rigged. It and the cone challenge are my only 2 non golds. Stupid gtr ai keeps ramming me off course so I get an off course or car collision.
Wonder why they won't let you customize the GT6 anniversary cars. At least wheels and aero kits. My standard alpine looks cooler because of the molded wing and removed bumper lights!
This comes as no surprise to me, but sales of GT6 are 5 times worse in the first few days, than with GT5. Aside from the lack of innovation, launching it along with the next-gen consoles was probably not good idea as well.
I have gotten gold on everything except the goodwood red bull. This is total bs. If you even coke within 5 feet of a wall it says you hit it. Then bam dq. This mission can burn in hell lol.
With psn prices? I doubt it. Only a minority would be so keen/lazy that they would pay such a premium.
I received my pre order on Saturday. Played for about 45 mins that evening and haven't touched it since. If you can't make your mind up, don't bother. If you are obsessed by gt then you might like it, some things are a bit better than 5, but I've never been so underwhelmed by a Gran Turismo game. I never liked 4 all that much but still it felt quality, this doesn't. All these promises that the hardware can't really deliver, and no real thought put into what anyone but photo mode kids want.
It depends where you live I suppose. For me, PSN is the same cost as a physical copy, with the added benefit of no physical copy and being ready to play the morning of release. I know from others from IRC have said that buying physical games is about 10€ cheaper than PSN.
In the UK new releases on PSN are basically between £49.99 and the frankly ridiculous £59.99. The gt6 pre-orders ranged from £32-35, the most anyone would pay in a high-street shop is £45.
GT5 is £49.99. I paid £32.
Maybe it's just in the UK, but they really do not make it appealing. They clearly pay no attention to the prices the shops are selling for. I remember when Driver came out and it tanked a bit, within a few weeks it was under £20 in the shops, whilst on the PSN store it was still £59.99. Talk about your profit margin.
To my mind digital downloads should be right at the bottom of the pricing scale.
First Impressions: drives better than GT5, and I notice that the cars behave quite a lot less erratically under braking than in GT5.
And I found the goodwood festival of speed rediculously easy on all three cars. It's almost impossible not to get gold when you manage to get through the course without ramming any bariers.
Got it after two and a half hours. You have to turn your controller steering sensitivity up to 7. I only got a 31.331 without that. Then I put it in automatic mode.
Yeah. I preferred to use the cockpit view, but in GT6, they render the windscreen from inside too, so especially in the the standard cars, the view's way to dark to drive properly on anything but well lit tracks. So I too use the bumper cam.
And here are some photo mode pictures. Also, I tried to take comparable Standard Car pictures in GT6 and 5 to take a look at the improvements, and they are better than expected, allthough thanks to the restrictive photo mode on standard cars in GT5, they're harder to make out than in game. I noticed mesh updates (3D grille vs. flat texture, exhaust pipe), Bump maps (door creases) and overall sharper textures.
BRZ with semi-racing exhaust sounds pretty good for a GT game...
Interesting that PD recorded different sounds for the BRZ, Scion FR-S and FT86 even if they use the same engine. Wonder if that translates to the sports/semi-racing and racing exhausts as well
You expect the BRZ, FT86 and Scion FR-S to sound and behave closer to the real things, since PD spend so much time with them and measuring them on track
Well all the newer tracks are laser scanned for sure

Bought the Monaro - stuck a wing to make it look like the 24 hour racer, time for some Bathurst
Sounds a little better than in GT5, top end of the rev range is where it goes bad, same for the 22B - you get that Boxer throb with the exhaust upgrades, but lose it in the upper revs...
I wish we could drive around in photo mode. So much detail. Have played in 2 days. I bought my 2000gt and drive to play the game was over. No other premium cars I fancy.
I really hope mid ohio will come. Closest world famous car track near me. (Nelson Ledges is better known for bikes, but is the most fun track I've done)
