Sony Computer Entertainment Celebrates 15 Years of Gran Turismo®
Event Report , General information , 15th Anniversary

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will host a celebration of the 15th anniversary of ‘the real driving simulator’ at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit (UK) on 15th May, 2013. The original Gran Turismo® game was first seen in Japan in December, 1997, after five years of development by legendary designer Kazunori Yamauchi, and then released around the world during 1998. The franchise went on to become multi award winning and the biggest-selling PlayStation® title ever.

Yamauchi-san is set to provide an update on the future of the Gran Turismo game at Silverstone. His passion for all things automotive is evident in the ever-increasing levels of realism and attention to detail in Gran Turismo, and the huge range of cars for which it is famous. Strong relationships with the many manufacturers that have featured in the franchise have led to some fascinating co-operations with the automotive world; such as the Red Bull X2010 ultimate race car, GTbyCitroën concept, a design co-operation for a display featuring on the real Nissan GT-R and an innovative new app developed for the Toyota GT86.

In a close partnership with Nissan, PlayStation has taken the virtual-to-reality overlap, inspired by Gran Turismo, to a new level in the form of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy. The now-famous racing driver development programme selects the fastest GT gamers from around the world and transfers their talent to real-world racing. The competition began in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength. Over three million people have entered since its inception, and graduates of the Academy have recorded some impressive results, including a second-place finish in the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours LMP2 class. Five Gran Turismo gamers turned GT Academy champions will be on hand at Silverstone. The ‘Nismo Athletes’ will be showing off their real-world racing skills with some high-speed passenger laps around the famous circuit, a track that has, so far, never featured in Gran Turismo.

This mutual respect and increasing blurring of the lines between the virtual and real, has led to the Silverstone event being well supported by a host of other manufacturers as well, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla and Toyota. Real-life versions of their cars, old and new, familiar to the legions of passionate Gran Turismo fans will be on display and on-track as part of the event.

“The Gran Turismo franchise continues to be extremely important to PlayStation,” explained Jim Ryan, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “We felt that 15 years of GT was an event worth celebrating along with our colleagues from the Americas, Asia and Japan. We are very grateful to our manufacturer partners for helping us to bring together a fantastic event. As well as experiencing the development of the franchise and comparing the virtual and real, it will be a pleasure to see Yamauchi-san and hear what’s next for Gran Turismo.”

[ossie_21]

Hopefully it doesn't take them forever to release it like GT5... And I'm hoping like fuck that Bathurst is included in the next one!

[TJ]

Will it be ps3 or 4?

[fourseven]

Bathurst is included.

Will be released on PS3... LOL.

[MGR]

PS3.

Very confident of Bathurst being included.

[Brockas]

I look forward to an optimistic release date which is constantly delayed and purchasing GT6 Prologue instead.

[James_2007]

so many good games coming out.

looks good

[TheChad]

Iirc the development cycle in the past has been such that odd gts take ages and evens seem to come along quickly after? Like 3-4 wasn't that long of a wait. Was it? So long ago and I was so shit anyway. Nope, talking shit... I just didn't get the ps2 for over a year after its release, so 3-4 didn't seem so long.

My current rental is a shoebox, literally the 52" TV takes up most of the "TV room". Hopefully I can crack out the old play seat when I move to a new place towards the end of this year, I never bothered learning to play on the controller.

[SimonR32]

When are we running Thursday night Brockas bashing again Mark :)

[MGR]

When are we running Thursday night Brockas bashing again Mark :)

You do enough of that in real life around Barbagallo already.

How much faster is your GT-R than the Brockas barge again?

[SircatmaN]

Can't wait to play this in 2023

Sony South Africa dun fucked up and broke there own embargo:


Sony Computer Entertainment has announced Gran Turismo 6, the latest version of PlayStation's best-selling franchise, will be released in the holiday season, 2013. The news was revealed today by Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi at an event held to celebrate 15 years of the top-selling series.

"GT6 for PlayStation 3 will bring new levels of authenticity to 'the Real Driving Simulator' as well as introducing stunning new tracks and cars and a revised user interface," a press statement read.

"A new compact game engine will improve operation and increase the flexibility to expand it with downloadable content."

The game is also set for connectivity with devices such as smartphones and tablets for social and community functions.

All of the cars and tracks from Gran Turismo 5 will be retained in GT6. But notable additions to the line-up of historic cars, road cars and the latest race cars, brings the total car list to 1200 at launch, with new cars set to be continually added online.

Several thousand aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all cars, and players can personalise their own custom cars in-game as well.

The UK's Silverstone Circuit will be one of seven new locations in Gran Turismo 6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available, 19 of them being new.

New tracks are also set to be made available online, while the course maker has also seen improvements.

The press statement confirmed that the GT Academy series, which sees Nissan and Sony team up to find real racing drivers, will be returning.

Other notable partnerships in the development of GT6 have been with tyre manufacturer Yokohama Rubber and suspension company KW Automotive.

"It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo," explained Kazunori Yamauchi, during the announcement at Silverstone Circuit.

"Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We're pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform.

[Risk10k]

I thought silverstone was in the GT series? Definitely in one of dem dere sexbox racers.

[Autopilot]

lol at "real driving simulator"

[Gleeso]

Special edition PS3?

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh207/25jacob25/gfgerh_zps6b40374f.jpg[/URL]

[masTers]

That looks like the new budget version of the PS3 released a few months ago

For me this cements my decision not to buy a PS4 at launch. I only bought my PS3 originally for GT5, so unless Uncharted 4 is announced it'll be a while before I get a PS4.

Holiday period is perfect, time to go play seat shopping.

[shifted]

Would make sense for a special commemorative edition of PS3. Hopefully it actually includes a specially coloured console (like the US got the White PS2 back in the day) rather than just different packaging...

[masTers]

http://www.sony.com.au/product/playstation+3+12+gb

It comes in a choice of 4 colors from memory - White, Red, Blue and Black.

Gran Turismo®6 is coming!
Event Report , Gran Turismo®6 , 15th Anniversary

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced Gran Turismo®6 (GT6™), the latest version of PlayStation®’s best-selling franchise, will be released in Holiday, 2013. The news was revealed today by legendary Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi at an event held to celebrate 15 years of the 70-million-selling series.

GT6 for PlayStation®3 will bring new levels of authenticity to ‘the Real Driving Simulator’ as well as introducing stunning new tracks and cars and a revised user interface. A new compact game engine will improve operation and increase the flexibility to expand it with downloadable content. Meanwhile, the game is also set for expanded connectivity with other devices such as smart phones and tablets and increased social and community functions.

All of the cars and tracks from Gran Turismo®5, which has sold over 10m copies since launching in 2010, will be retained in GT6. But notable new additions to the already impressive line-up of historic cars, road cars and the latest race cars, brings the total car list to 1200 at launch, with new cars set to be continually added online. Several thousand aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all cars, and players can personalize their own custom cars in game to the greatest ever level possible.

The UK’s famous Silverstone Circuit will be just one of seven new locations in Gran Turismo 6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available, 19 of them brand new. There will also be regular additions of new tracks set to be made available online. The improved course maker function will provide gorgeous scenery spanning several tens of square kilometers including the magnificent backdrop of Andalucía.

The theme of Gran Turismo’s innovative collaborations with partner companies will increase with the inception of GT6. A number of exciting new projects that blur the line between the virtual and real will be announced in the run up to the game’s launch. Not least of these is GT Academy, a collaboration with Nissan to unearth real racing driver talent that first ran in 2008. It was announced during the event that the competition returns for its biggest ever year in 2013, with the entry mechanic set to take place on an exclusive GT6 demo in July.

Other notable partnerships in the development of GT6 have been with tire manufacturer Yokohama Rubber and suspension company KW Automotive. Both companies are active in the commercial car industry and in racing, and they have acted as technical development partners for the game’s new physics engine, for its tire and suspension kinematic modeling, creating an even more realistic experience for GT fans.

“It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo,” explained Kazunori Yamauchi, during the announcement at Silverstone Circuit. “Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments. I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will be only the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!”

The celebration of 15 years of Gran Turismo event at Silverstone included a demo of GT6 featuring the famous circuit. Guests were able to play the game in the familiar circular Gran Turismo race pods before having a chance to take to the real track in cars provided by Audi, Ford, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota.

[Halle Terry]

I still haven't finished downloading the updates for 5.

[1JZVL]

give us external gate!

PLEASE.

That is all.

[evo5aurus]

why the fuck would they release this on ps3

GT5.5?

[uzx83]

why the fuck would they release this on ps3

GT5.5?

GT1+2 were on ps1
GT3+4 were on ps2
GT5+6 are on ps3


Why not?

as they have said "We're pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform."

[uzx83]

Also it pleases me that it is on ps3, also with almost positive news that grand theft auto 5 will be on ps3 i dont see myself buying a ps4 as soon as it comes out, and when I finally want one i wont have to pay crack prices for a ps4

[SimonR32]

You do enough of that in real life around Barbagallo already.

How much faster is your GT-R than the Brockas barge again?

Only 5 sec :P

I was more interested in hunting down your lap record but alas I failed haha

[adrenalin]

Please allow for epic burnouts and skids.

Also engine conversions would be awesome.

[masTers]

http://au.ign.com/articles/2013/05/15/gran-turismo-looking-back-at-a-legend

[evo5aurus]

GT1+2 were on ps1
GT3+4 were on ps2
GT5+6 are on ps3


Why not?

as they have said "We're pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform."
Very loyal community they want to squeeze more cash from while they can?

GT5 already seems to be bottle necked by the PS3 and with the PS4 already announced, to me, it would make more sense if they went all out and released it exclusively on the PS4 to properly utilise the new hardware and create a serious step up in the franchise. IF it is released on PS4 it will likely be nothing but a port and we will have to wait until 2018 for a GT that properly makes use of the PS4 hardware, not the mention the amount of consoles it would sell if it was a launch (or close to it) title.


that said I'll probably still buy it.

[VRX]

More screenies http://pure-newshome.com/screenshot/new-gran-turismo-6-artwork-screenshots/

[YOUR MATE]

I thought the PS3 couldn't handle GT5 as was intended so it was scaled back? Surely the PS4 would be the smarter move. I'd hope they do all the cars in the same detail unlike GT5.

[Buckets]

Bathurst is included.

Will be released on PS3... LOL.

Source for this ?

I've never understood why Bathurst wasn't included in GT5 it's one of the worlds (well our region anyways) great tracks.

[Brockas]

Only 5 sec :P

I was more interested in hunting down your lap record but alas I failed haha

Fear not, I'm going back to close the gap on the 30th...

[Niva]

fuck that almost looks as good as forza 4.

[mehow2g]

Looks like they knew they screwed up with GT5 not saying its a bad game but obviously the game was rushed, I think GT6 is the product they wanted to release in the first place.

Keen.

[Gleeso]

Looks like they knew they screwed up with GT5 not saying its a bad game but obviously the game was rushed, I think GT6 is the product they wanted to release in the first place.

Hahahahaha. That's kind of the opposite. Still, very keen for this addition.

[2jzlux]

Looking forward to playing this game.....






















On my PS7


Also can't wait for the 25 gig daily updates

[FitzyB]

If they have all premium cars, fix the sound issue that your c63 sounds like a civic with a full exhaust, have a damage noise other than "thunk", the extra 200 cars are not just different variations of the R35 and S13's and they manage to actually release it this year and not 2047, well keen :D

[uzx83]

they better have cressidas this time

[mehow2g]

Hahahahaha. That's kind of the opposite. Still, very keen for this addition.

It was clearly unpolished as a finished product which they corrected with massive amounts of patches.

You're right it took a long time to be released which put pressure on them to get it out asap hence the unfinished product.

[MGR]

New trailer from E3 2013

[Jaak]

If this come out after the ps4 launch ,I hope it comes with a free ps3 haha.

[SimonR32]

Looks great but I'm more looking forward to a more realistic driving mode.

[masTers]

The demo is available on PSN now.

[kirbo]

The demo is available on PSN now.

Cheers for head up! FINALLY YOU CAN PROGRAM BUTTONS ON G27! :D

[ALEX.]

Early days, but... Thoughts? I've spent a couple of hours and here's mine:

Graphics = more or less GT5.
Sound = haven't paid much attention yet. Which probably indicates GT5.
Physics = definite changes, as we knew there would be. Couple of times the car spat me out from over corrections in a way GT5 never would have. In fact on those occasions it caught me completely off guard because GT5 literally did not have its physics set like that.

The cars certainly seem more on edge and reactant to inputs. less forgiving. I'm sure you all would agree you can 'feel' the tyres more now, as well as more subtleties in the suspension.

Because of that, I'm actually feeling my 5+ yr old G25 wheel might need an upgrade to something more sensitive and stronger like the Thrustmaster TS500 (here's hoping compatible with PS4?!).

[Frenchy]

Graphics are very PC-esque

I found the 370z seemed to 'feel' really nice through corners, but as above it has no hesitations with tank slapping the shit out of you. Really loving the feel of the physics on this one

[masTers]

I think having watched a few Forza 5 videos the graphics will forever be ruined for me. I didn't really notice the sound either, will need to wait for a variety of cars I think.

Still does look very nice, and the physics as mentioned are definitely improved over GT5. Will give it run when it's released.

[kirbo]

+1 on the new physics. You can really feel the suspension and tires working, a break-though! Graphics/sound GT5 spec. I found that if you have a punt, the engine loses volume like a flash bang in a FPS. Music blows too/ crap tire screeching.

[SimonR32]

How big is the download?

[VRX]

1.1GB i think.

[MGR]

A few impressions of the demo:

Physics:
- Suspension upgrades quite apparent. Roads cars roll more realistically now.
- Tyre model improved, especially at low speeds.
- Tank slapping is a little more aggressive, but the cars are easier to catch.
- FFB effects improved when drifting. Steering wheel unloads and slips through the fingers better when manji drifting.
- Lift-off oversteer in FWD cars more realistic.
- In general, cars have slightly less tendency to understeer.

Graphics
- Softer and improved HDR lighting.
- Crappy aliasing alpha effects in GT5 caused by smoke have been fixed.
- Autumn Ring had an overhaul. Looks like a proper GT5 track instead of a re-hashed GT4 track.
- Small tweaks: Leaves fall from trees and get thrown up by cars off track, jet streams in sky, ducks flying in formation etc.
- Framerate not sustaining solid 60fps in 1080P mode though, particularly at Silverstone.

Sound
- Basically GT5 spec. Maybe very minor improvements.
- Music? Fuck knows. First thing I disable.

Features
- Start game, quick splash screen then BOOM, straight to menu. Much faster.
- Track loading times seem much quicker too.
- In pre-race screen all tracks display the time-of-day and track dampness.
(Hopefully all tracks have dynamic time and weather).
- Interface in general much easier on the eye.
- AI cars pit after end of race instead of perpetually circulating like zombies.

[SimonR32]

Had a quick crack at the two races with the Leaf last night using the controller.... Physics are definitely better and seem a bit more realistic.

Will pull out the wheel tonight and have a crack with the 370Z, is there any multiplayer option in the demo? We should run a Brockas punting night :)

[tinto]

FFS. my PS3 has stopped working. again.

[jaba]

Handling tweaks are definitely an improvement, thought I was going to roll the leaf on the second track!

The GT SPEC 370 you use for the proper competition is fun to throw around too.

[MGR]

No multiplayer, only time trial rankings.

Looks like Alex is the quickest from AL in the main 370Z hot lap event at Silverstone.

Mind posting a few of the top AL times? Curious to see how many seconds ahead they are :p

[millzy_88]

F**k me Alex and MGR are pulling a 2:19 and 2:20 respectively. A near perfect lap for me gets me a 2:22, going to buy razor now.

[MGR]

Goodwood hillclimb course confirmed.

[ED40]

Finally downloaded it and had a play over the last two evenings.

First thing I did was the burnout test.. donuts are better, the car can swing hard which it never used to still not that great though.
I thought they also would have improved the sound.. car still sounds like a vacuum cleaner! (especially the leaf haha).

Had a crack at those times and after much raging, still a long way behind Alex. Man what a lap!!

If anyone wants to add me my PSN is ed4400, so we can keep track of everyone laptimes!

[ALEX.]

Anyone know what region Australia is in for this competition?

I would have assumed Australia was in its own region, however if that was the case then we have an inordinate amount of talented Canadian, Swiss and Brazilian drivers here in Oz.
I'm ranked about 40th 'regionally', yet I am in 6th place if you only count those with Aussie flags next to their names.

My assumption is that our rankings are thrown in with a bunch of other illegible countries, hence the consistent flags popping up next to people's names on the leader boards. I can't find any info on that, so that's the theory I'm going with. Anyone heard differently?

[adrenalin]

GT6 night at the cinemas again ?

Looks awesome. Good reason to keep PS3 sitting around after i buy the 4 and xbox one


Also awesome to see that Barbagallo was one of the tracks added...

http://i39.tinypic.com/15hbfbd.jpg

I am getting the same message - is online play not available in Australia?

I am pretty disappointed with this demo, besides a slight improvement in physics you would think you are just playing GT5.

[South]

It means they are not going to fly you overseas to win your prize... but go for gold in trying to win anyways.

[Sciflyer]

thats raceist

[ALEX.]

For anyone that cares, my results from giving GTAcademy a crack. Best lap was a 2:18.111. I think there was about 3/10ths to take off that time but I never quite got my shit together for the one magical 'superlap' where everything is done as perfectly as able.


It sucks the Aussies were ineligible, but my lap time would have put me in the following positions in the following countries, had I been competing in them:
#1 in Korea
#1 in Thailand
TOP 3 in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Norway
TOP 10 in Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Hungary, Sweden, Finland
TOP 20 in Portugal, Belgium & Luxembourg, Holland, Poland, Russia
TOP 50 or just outside in the UK, US, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, France – countries which are all highly populated and/or heavily into motorsport
35th in all other ineligible countries worldwide combined.


Apparently 1.4million people downloaded the demo, but I don't know how many went all the way through to try the full course Academy time trial. But I'm still happy with those results regardless!


Anyway, looking forward to the real GT6 and its new physics. And getting back into some Antilag online racing again :P
ps s13-steve : Having spent some decent time on the demo, saying the physics are slightly improved is definitely an understatement; heading back to GT5 last night really showed they've made some nice progress..

[2jzlux]

Fly to eligible country with a ps3 set decent time and then fly home.
Get to have a crack at the finals then at least.

[jzx_andy]

nice work, what wheel do you use?

[ED40]

Excellent time mate! Seeing you on the sims in real life i am not suprised!

[Grug]

Are you still able to download it? I cant see it anywhere.

[S_E]

That's some good work Alex! Shame we're not eligible for the academy here

I had been meaning to sit down for a few hours and nail down a good lap but kept putting it off until it was too late, all I did was the first sector with the controller....derp.

Gran Turismo®6 to Feature Legendary Bathurst Circuit

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DA8bgld5sU8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Polyphony Digital Inc. have announced that Gran Turismo®6, launching on 6 December 2013, will include the famous Bathurst circuit in Australia. The track features for the first time in Gran Turismo history.

Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit, Bathurst, to give it its full name, is the home of motorsport in Australia. Located in New South Wales, it has a rich motorsport history - the first race held there was the 1938 Australian Grand Prix and it now hosts the Bathurst 12 Hour and the Bathurst 1000 races amongst others.

The challenging circuit is 6.213km (4 miles) long with surprisingly steep inclines, a twisty, narrow section across the top of the mountain which proves difficult to master even for the very best racing drivers, and very little run off area to allow for mistakes.

Gran Turismo 6 will bring Bathurst to life in living rooms around the world. The location has been recreated with great attention to detail, and next generation technology making the 3D model rendering better than ever: the result is a virtual carbon-copy of the Bathurst track, which will make the gaming experience truly absorbing for all who experience it.

“We are very pleased to be able to include Bathurst in our expanded selection of race tracks available in Gran Turismo,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, the Gran Turismo creator and President of Polyphony Digital Inc. “Since its inception 15 years ago, Gran Turismo has listened to fan feedback and added extra features so that we now offer 1200 cars and 33 circuits from all across the world. It seems only right that the legendary Mount Panorama circuit is included as fans will now have a chance to drive one of the toughest tracks out there. Described by some as Australia’s very own Nürburgring, this is a formidable track that will provide an exciting new challenge for PlayStation gamers.”

[Sack]

They've also added in brake kits as a tuning part to buy now, should be interesting . . .

[Brockas]

9 days to go.

I heard rumours that they're incorporating a mobile GPS app which can be used by the course maker to re-make any course that you've recorded while in your own car. VERY keen to see this happen.


*edit* It appears it might be a dongle that plugs into the OBD2 port.

"Gran Turismo 6 is adding a wild new feature that may not be strictly useful for most gamers, but shows just how dedicated to car culture the folks at Polyphony Digital are. It’s called a “GPS Data Visualizer,” and allows you to transfer driving data from an actual car into Gran Turismo 6. Then, you can analyze your performance and find places to improve.

The “GPS” part of this feature’s name might have you assuming it offers some low-rent functionality. After all, it wouldn’t be difficult to track GPS and just recreate a path based on that. There’s way more going on here though. The CAN-Gateway ECU tracks almost every piece of data — gas, brake, wheel angle, water temperature… just about every record-able metric you can get from a car. As a result, the re-creation in Gran Turismo is almost identical to your real-life driving, which is pretty damn cool. Don’t expect to use this feature with that ’96 Honda Accord you have sitting out in the driveway though. This functionality is exclusive to cars equipped with Toyota Motor Corporation’s CAN-Gateway ECU. As I said before, it’s not a feature just anyone is going to be able to use, but it shows just how progressive Polyphony is about car culture as opposed to video game culture."

[Brockas]

fuck yeah, barbs/collie/targa runs
My thoughts exactly, although the more I read into it the more it appears it's just for comparing your real-life times on the tracks which already exist in the game.

Surely it couldn't be that hard to use the g-force readers in a phone to do what I'm saying though...

The 'GPS Course Maker' and 'GPS Data Visualiser' are two different features.


Course Maker
This feature, available at a later stage through an update, will allow you to create your own custom tracks that can be driven in the game. Additionally, in another update we will add the possibility to generate a track by capturing the GPS coordinate data of a mobile app while you are driving that course. This GPS-generated tracks will be available in the game as playable content.

GPS Visualiser
In a future update, we will add the GPS Visualiser. This is a feature that allows you to import Controller Area Network (CAN), used to regulate automobile systems, and GPS coordinate data from a real life car into Gran Turismo 6, and visualise the data as a replay in the game. The feature is planned to be compatible with the Toyota Motor Corporation’s CAN-Gateway ECU.

Neither will be available at launch though.

dang thats cool

what would be more awesome is if they could use the GPS & OBD data to sort of 'calibrate' the dynamics and controller to your real car (instead of just a replay)

[[Jacek]]

Apricot Hill is back!

[redline07]

Need Midfield Raceway back!

[NoOg_sTaR]

Need Midfield Raceway back!
So so so many childhood memories.

[D3FEKT]

I look forward to this immensely, Forza 5 was a big let down.. And the good thing is I don't need to buy a PS4 for this.

[LarryDavid]

1 day to go!

anyone pre-ordered for the extra cars?

http://www.gran-turismo.com/au/products/gt6/preorder/#anniversary

doesn't really look worth it considering you would have to wait another week for the game to be delivered

[adrenalin]

Agree

Got the xbox for forza 5 and it hasnt been overly flash in terms of gameplay.


Got the ps4 as well but i think i will enjoy GT6 on the PS3 more.

[TJ]

So this is out tomorrow?

Feel a cold coming on

[South]

Time to push the shops for a pre-release tonight, like when GT5 came out!

[Macca]

still can not believe there is no release for ps4

[SimonR32]

I just pre-ordered with JB's online, says 3 day postage and I'm busy all weekend so it suits me.

Plus free helmet!

Judging by the initial gameplay stuff on youtube they havnt fixed the shitty car sounds
Menu system is much improved though

so who broke the street day? Keen to get a copy today too

[FitzyB]

^ What he said.

Got several places in the CBD to choose from if it is broken, was going to try target on the way home anyways (they or big w normally go first).

Though I do know a lot of people who ordered online have theirs (people playing on whirlpool). And rumour is the day 1 patch is 1.2gb...

[TJ]

This was a Tj special. Try your luck guys.

[FitzyB]

Target didn't wanna play, just have to wait till tomorrow.

Is it better than gt5? Heard mixed reports thus far

[Thychiz]

Forza 5 was a giant letdown to me, hopes are high for this tomorrow. I give little fucks about the graphics, as the industry is at a pretty decent stage with em', but I hope the physics and game-play are much improved.

[Kaido]

might try JB later tonight but won't hold my breath

[TJ]

Off the disk the day one update is 1.2 gig btw.

I like it - definitely improved graphics and layout of menus and overall game feel.

Need to do more racing.

The above bathurst shop was in a sls gt car in arcade mode - definitely moves around a lot, takes effort to drive.

[YOUR MATE]

I still have a G25 wheel and pedal set for sale for anyone wanting to ditch the controller.. Jus sayin.

[evo5aurus]

handling seems a little more realistic and graphics are sharper. Little disappointed with the mods, basically the same as GT5 - except you can get NOS haha. On the up side there is a huge variety of rims and you can size up.

To improve loading times turn off install data to hard disk in the options - makes a HUGE difference.

[LarryDavid]

just picked up the anniversary edition, guy at EB threw in the precision pack too. WIN

[Jazza]

Would this PS3 GT6 game look exactly the same on PS4 as the PS3 given there is no up scaling or anything? Looking forward to GT7 on PS4!

[WRCjosh]

word is ps3 games are not compatible with ps4. spanner in the works

[Jazza]

I thought that was proven wrong. I'll check when I get home lol

[Brockas]

To improve loading times turn off install data to hard disk in the options - makes a HUGE difference.
Wont this make it slower for future use though?

[jmp]

Wont this make it slower for future use though?
Why would it make it slower?

[LarryDavid]

Thought it's generally faster to read from the hard drive than the disc

[WRCjosh]

http://au.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/Backwards_Compatibility

ign says no unless emulated.

[EVLO]

loading from disc would surely be a buttload slower than off the HDD..

[MGR]

Haven't started the game yet, but I believe the game can 'install as you go' or you can go into the options menu and force install everything. I'll be doing that.

[ALEX.]

Haven't found force-install option, only the option for Yes or No to continual install...
http://www.gran-turismo.com/au/gt6/manual/#!/option/gamedata

Trying to get work done today is painful :P

[Sack]

Only real shit thing is that its still only the premium cars from GT5 that you can put body kits on and they're is no way of knowing which cars, unless you get the list off GT5.

Goodwood is a winner

[masTers]

Looks to be receiving some average reviews, highlighting the usual series flaws - sound, damage, and quantity over quality when it comes to the cars (apparently they have just rehashed some GT4 models?)

Seems to be an impressive number of tracks but?

Can someone let me know if the Super Silhouette is in the game?

[Thychiz]

First time I got on, was throwing the shits having to complete the tutorial, was driving me to tears with crap popping up every 10 seconds saying "Brake for corners!" and other numpty-like rubbish.
But then something magical happened..... I found the dealership... Oh the cars, look at all the cars. My god. So many to chose from. I then went to the wheels, same deal! And so far game seems actually quite decent! Pretty happy with it.

Oh and the NoS.... My GTR seems to hold enough nos for a trip to Mars if I was so inclined.

[Sciflyer]

Ok sound is better, it's still "artificial" and a bit hard to tell with that crappy Honda but it does seem a bit more... "full" maybe?

Cars definitely move around a lot more which is more realistic for stock suspension and tyres

[shifted]

Gotta pick up the game next week, but looking forward to whipping out the seat and wheel setup! Anyone ordered the Asian Collector's Edition?

Never really got onto GT5, didn't have that much time to bother - hoping GT6 is enticing though. Is online any different?

[confuzion]

Still no R33 Skyline GTS-25t or Golf mk6 GTI in the car list.. die in a fire ffs..
nevertheless, will still buy of course haha

[Jazza]

word is ps3 games are not compatible with ps4. spanner in the works

Can confirm this, it doesn't work. Gay.

Played the goodwood festival hill climb in the KTM Xbox and the Willowbank track in a 35 GT3 car in arcade mode, both incredibly fun!
May keep my PS3 just for this game..

[Kaido]

This is Pretty much GT5.5 , physic have improved, AI is little better (but still useless), more Tracks, more Cars, New Career mode. THe goodwood festival special event is pretty cool and there is also a special event where you drive the moon rover on the moon haha

[Sack]

That moon event was fucking annoying!

De-wing option is pretty awesome too.

[jzx_andy]

im happy with it. wasn't expecting any huge changes seeing as it was released on the PS3, but i do have high expectations for the next game in the series that will be released on PS4

[LarryDavid]

few of my first impressions..
not overly different to GT5 (not that I was really expecting it to be), still has most of the same annoyances as GT5.. takes so long to go to the next race, I counted like 11 button presses, I cant find a way to turn traction control off by default – pain in the ass having to turn it off every time. Most cars sound the same, and the tyre screeching noise is horrendous. I dont think the graphics have really improved, the glare and lighting of the sky on some tracks looks really shit. Physics have definitely changed, seems more difficult to hold a drift and much easier to tank slap. New tracks are cool, also thought the recommended car section is pretty handy too.

[Sciflyer]

Traction control seems to stay off once you graduate past the novice leagues ? I had to keep setting it as you said, then at some point it stayed off :)

I actually think the loading times are much improved, they've done a good job there.

Tyre noise is pretty much the same as my car when I've done track stuff, street tyres on standard suspension= lots of tyre squeal...

[urabus]

Has anyone worked out a way to transfer their cars / credits over from gt5?

Really dont want to start from square 1 afain.

Brendon

[Sack]

That's half the fun of it. No point playing it being able to buy whatever car you want and bombing the shit out of it. My mate bought $7mil worth of credits for $70 in real money, what a fucking waste.

[FitzyB]

One thing I have noticed while playing today. Changed rims, silver CE28's. The rim colour changes in replays from black, to bronze, to silver depending on where the sun is coming from / its mood. Doesn't really matter, but would be nice if they stayed the same :p

Other than that, feels like a more user friendly GT5 so far. The mazda dealer is stupid, nearly 3 pages of identical mx5's. But was expecting that. Still having the same old GT fun, wasn't expecting it to massively change (though after the car noises from NFS most wanted or whatever it was, and doing constant tunnel runs, I hope GT7 does fix that problem at least...)

[confuzion]

Yeah the generic.wav engine noises needs updating.. As a comparison played a couple games of Dirt 3 vs GT6 yesterday and Dirt3 shits on it sound wise. The Group B Audi Quattro omg <3.. they have it in GT6 and it is def using generic.wav
.. I mean ffs, just download the sound from Youtube and replace it !

[Kaido]

the sound has improved but i think it is only on certain cars.

Drove the Red Bull X1 in the goodwood test and OMG does it some pure porn like actually sounds like some crazy f1 engine!

[Sack]

That's half the fun of it. No point playing it being able to buy whatever car you want and bombing the shit out of it. My mate bought $7mil worth of credits for $70 in real money, what a fucking waste.

Just to add to this, his PS3 shit itself so now he has to start again haha. Best $70 he ever spent

[Chivalry]

Picked this up yesterday, last time I played any GT game was when GT5 was launched, that lasted about 3 days before epic disappointment set in so badly that I didn't touch it again, ever. The sound is the worst part of GT6 I think, not only do most cars only remotely sound like their real counterparts (re: generic.wav) but I bought a Toyobaru 86 "Racing" and with a full racing exhaust but still NA, it was hardly louder or any different in sound than it was stock. Then I added a turbo and there is now 3 sounds, I either get nothing at all, standard exhaust noise or a mixture of asthmatic sounding induction/turbo. Still on the subject of sound, I don't remember even the GT5 soundtrack being this bad/annoying/repetitive? I miss that cool-as-fuck-lounge-jazz from the old days...

Night racing is pretty disappointing so far too, I noticed that when heading up Mt Panorama after the first left corner, most of the ground on the sides of the track basically disappears and where there should at least be the black silhouette of the actual mountain, there is only sky. Other annoyances aside from the still useless AI is the ease of the license events, not even trying I got gold almost every first attempt, half the time well below the gold time requirement too - why even bother to have them in the game any more? To me the game now feels even more outdated and GT6 feels like what GT5 prologue should have been like. The 'premium' cars do look good yet only marginally better than Forza 4 cars IMHO. You still can't check out the interior etc in photo mode so why spend all that time making the interior look good, at a small distance, through a reflective window?


The only smile GT6 has put on my face so far is doing stupidly long one-wheel-peels with the `65 GT350 around Autumn Ring, which is my second most favourite GT track and I am very happy to see the original tracks back, Loch Ness is still hanging out on Trial Mountain, still in PSX quality too.

Still early days though and I'm glad I've got a 'new' racing game to sink some time into again since I sold my 360 early this year and CBF'd buying a new-gen console. So far I would rate GT6 as pretty-much-exactly-the-same-as-GT5-all-things-and-time-considered.


I'm glad there are microtransactions for people to waste money on, hopefully it will give Polyphony enough extra revenue to make GT7 actually feel like a modern, finished game. If it isn't, the GT franchise is dead to me. Pity.


Masters - Doesn't look like it. There are a few complete GT6 car lists around, easy to find them.

[MGR]

Just opened a lobby. Go to Open Lobby from main menu and filter by friends only to find the room.

[MirKz]

Purchased this today.
At first I wasn't going to bother but I wanted a new racing game, and can't afford to buy an XB1 for Forza 5 just now. (Though I've heard that's relatively shit too).
GT5 was to me, a complete piece of shit... oh and the kombi race near the start can go fuck itself in the ass with a razorblade and a bottle of vinegar.

First impressions: Seems okay, races are fun enough, but that might be because I haven't touched GT games properly in years and this seems 'new' to me. Graphics seem alright, but nothing is jumping out at me going "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZEBALLS".
Looking at some of the shadows across the track as the game does it's little intro to you zooming along behind every other prick just before race start, makes me laugh at how shithouse they can be at times. The cars themselves so far have all looked alright. The backdrops do look quite spectacular sometimes, as does the lighting for the most part. They need to implement the actual headlights properly for AI vehicles, looks all great at night, until you see yourself with a lone beam of light actually coming from those switched 'on' head lights.
Game also needs damage... and the shitty thud when you hit another vehicle/wall etc. Seriously... I think they just use the same midi file from fkn PS1, it needs to go.

The sounds are fairly average. I understand there needs to be tyre screech, but the GT devs, must seriously get a raging fucking boner listening to that shit, which is why they seem to put this sound so far out and above everything else.
The cars I've driven have all been pretty mediocre, so the engine sounds all sound quite the same, with only a slight difference here and there, so I wont rag THAT until I can get some decent cars happening. The soundtrack I enjoy going into races and whilst racing... though I think I'll play with the settings a bit next time I play. I'd rather listen to some beats to drown out that screeching bullshit, cause engine noise from what I've seen aint gonna cut it.

That all said, I AM enjoying it so far. I look forward to opening up the online stuff. I think it's great that your friend's times show up for licensing etc and gives you yet another challenge. It's also very satisfying knowing you've slapped them in the face by beating their time by a considerable amount. Menu's are easy to navigate, there isn't a bazillion items on screen that are hiding another hundred things behind them like the older GT's used to.
I'm interested to see how drifting is in this game, I quite enjoyed drifting in Forza 4 and a little (though not so much) in Horizon. Also keen to check out the customization further.

[Sciflyer]

Yeah the generic.wav engine noises needs updating.. As a comparison played a couple games of Dirt 3 vs GT6 yesterday and Dirt3 shits on it sound wise. The Group B Audi Quattro omg <3.. they have it in GT6 and it is def using generic.wav
.. I mean ffs, just download the sound from Youtube and replace it !

Haha yes I take back what I said about the sound after driving the Quattro....so much fail.

To be fair though, GT doesnt use sound samples, it generates the sounds so they would have to "make" the Quattro sound.

[mr_rotary]

Got it and have today off to enjoy. Liking it so far with the menu's a little easier and feels like a GT5.5. Hopefully by the time Bathurst is unlocked there might be a touring car available. Next option is a S6 RX-7 and pretend it's the Bathurst 12 hour!

Anyway of anyone wants to add me my PSN is as per my user name.

[LarryDavid]

has anyone else noticed a lot of flickering of trees/shadows etc? jagged edges are pretty bad too
i've tried using the different graphics settings but doesnt seem to make a difference

[[Jacek]]

Feels like everything that I imagined GT5 to be when that came out 3 years ago. I'm pretty happy with it anyway. Particularly the handling/tyre characteristics - with lower grade tyres you can actually feel the tyres squirming under load which is pretty cool. Also happy with the refinements to the clutch/handbrake that I've noticed - feels a lot better when sliding now and loses traction more realistically.

Don't really give a shit about the sound, my imagination has been trained to "fill in the blanks" through years of Gran Turismo use so it sounds great to me.

[Kaido]

anyone use Racing hard tyres on a street car?

tune up my R35 GTR to 650PP, enter a race which could use "racing hard" and wtf the car is undriveable lost control so easily just with the slightest turn (was doing high-speed ring and was spinning out every time on the 1st corner) anyways swap back to Sport soft and problem gone... odd

[Miggy]

Possibly need more warming up? Is it the same when they are hot?

[MGR]

DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

1. Back up your GT6 save file onto a USB thumb drive (just in case)

2. Make sure you have a Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo in your garage.
You get the first one free from the 'Vision GT' car list.

3. Make sure you have a car selected other than the AMG Vision.
Select your Honda Fit for example.

3. Quit the game and delete the GT6 Game Data from the XMB menu.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR GT6 SAVE GAME FILE!

4. Disconnect your PS3 from the internet.

5. Re-launch the game (the game will run in V1.0 mode - without the patch)

6. Go into your garage and you will see a car called [2055].
This is the AMG Vision vehicle, but the game doesn't recognise it with patch V1.01

7. Sell this vehicle.
You will be prompted that the value of the car is 333,993,856 credits, but you will only get 20,000,000 credits (game maximum). Select YES.


You now have 20,000,000 credits. Great, but here's the kicker....


8. Quit the game, reconnect to the internet and start the game again.
This time download the V1.01 patch and bring your game up to date.

9. Use your newly acquired 20,000,000 credits to buy 20x Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Vehicles.

10. Quit the game and delete the GT6 Game Data from the XMB menus.
Once again, DO NOT DELETE YOUR GT6 SAVE GAME FILE!

11. Disconnect your PS3 from the internet.

12. Re-launch the game (the game will run in V1.0 mode again - without the patch)

13. Sell one of your [2055] AMG Vision vehicles. You now have 20,000,000 credits.

14. Go on a shopping spree and spend all the money.

15. Sell another [2055] vehicle

16. Rinse and repeat until all [2055] cars are sold.

This will effectively give you 400,000,000 credits :)

Be warned though, the process of buying hundreds of cars will take hours!! Once you've cashed all your [2055] cars, re-patch the game.

[Sciflyer]

How do you back up the game data? I don't get any option to do this no matter what USB stick I put in?

[Brockas]

Awesome!
I'm not greedy, so just did it once and got $20M. Bombed.

[Jaak]

full system back up is required under system settings

[MGR]

There's two GT6 save files. The main one and a (backup). You can only copy the main one to USB

[Sciflyer]

Eh, risked it without a backup, appears to have worked :)

[Brockas]

So good. Still have to do all the challenges etc, but now I'm not re-doing races to get coin to complete other races.

[LarryDavid]

That's why I bought the anniversary edition. Comes with enough cars that I haven't needed to buy/mod a single car if I didn't really want to. Also comes with 1,000,000 credits

[Susstt]

Awesome! Can confirm that it works!

[FitzyB]

Looks like I found something to do this evening...

Wonder if they will patch it to stop it but.

[Jaak]

if its patched revert to v1.0 :cool:

They will almost certainly release a patch that makes your game save incompatible with version 1.0

[FitzyB]

There was a new patch out when I went to do this, however I didn't install it, got the 20 mill, just installing the day 1 patch again now. See if it lets me keep the credits with the new patch, my guess it is there to stop it happening...

Worked a treat for me too, mint. F40 and aventador brought.

[confuzion]

Awesome, worked for me as well.. and all save data/races/challenges still completed.. win!

[NoOg_sTaR]

So I finally bought the game last night after hearing about this money glitch. I thought it was a good idea to start doing this at 11pm... Turns out it was a bad idea. I started off thinking I will just buy a few cars but greed and OCD kicked in hard. The next 9 hours I did not drive a single KM, I did not modify any car, I did not sleep. All I did was a systematic sweep of EVERY REGION, EVERY MANUFACTURER, & EVERY CAR in the dealership section and bought whatever I wanted (Spent $340mil).

I ran out of time and I am now at work. I still have 3 AMG visions to sell ($60 million) and about 10 manufacturers in the American region to go through. I will finish this when I get home, if it gets patched in the next few hours and my game save does not work. I might lose the plot.

[[Jacek]]

So you bought one of every S2000 and MX5?

[Brockas]

All 22 versions of the FD RX7?


Regardless, that's dedication. I spent about 3 hours buying all the cars that I really wanted, but didn't waste my time with anything under $100k (figured I could always buy it later if I wanted to).

[Brockas]

ps. Just while we're on that note... I think it's cheeky of GT6 to claim a world record for the number of cars in a game when they have so many versions of the same car. There are 20+ versions of the FD RX7, and about the same number of Mitsubishi 3000GT's, MX5's, S2000's, etc etc.

Yet to this date, the following cars (which I was expecting to be included) are not in the game:
Ferrari F12
Aston Martin DBS
Lotus Exige V6
Jaguar F-Type
Koenigsegg (of any type)
Mercedes A45


That's just a few I can think of which I thought were strange omissions, even if some of them are relatively 'new'.

[NoOg_sTaR]

Haha when going through Nissan/Honda/Mazda/Subaru I was thinking are these pingpingpingpings serious? '92, '93, '94, '96... All of essentially the same car.

I am going to refrain from modifying the cars too much. Some I bought just as a nice collection for the occasional drive. I will still do the beginner races in shitters with similar PP as the opponents. I enjoy the competitive racing portion of the game. I fucking hate grinding for $$$ to get a car for the next race so this glitch was perfect for me. I had to cash in ASAP.

[[Jacek]]

Ferrari F12
Aston Martin DBS
Lotus Exige V6

How'd you forget the car I want more than anything else in the game.. No McLaren P1 :( No F12 or F-type Jag also makes me sad. And no Audi RS6 (current model).
Little bit gay!

yep, there are a lot of Euro cars old and new that are far more deserving of inclusion than 50 different types of MX5...

[SimonR32]

Finally arrived in the mail, going to give it a crack tonight...

MGR when we firing up the Brockas punting sessions?

[[Jacek]]

Actually in other news, M4 Coupe is available today. No interior view, classic Polyphony!

[Jazza]

I'd rather have the car with no interior than not have the car!

[masTers]

I hope the M4 isnt a token gift to say sorry for resetting your save game files :)

[random?]

I hope the M4 isnt a token gift to say sorry for resetting your save game files :)

So I take it this is what happens when you download the new patch then?

[Susstt]

Have new patch. Have 500 cars. Have 20mil credits.

Nothing has been deleted.

[MGR]

MGR when we firing up the Brockas punting sessions?

Will sort something over the weekend for Thursday night.

Vehicle suggestions for one-make racing?

[Susstt]

^ Shifter carts are always fun. Have done a few races online with them.

[shifted]

Just did the glitch and got $20million. Muppet me, I deleted the game data and had to redownload it again, I'm guessing others have copied this data to a USB instead??

[Susstt]

You're meant to..

Not meant to delete your saved data.

[MGR]

No shuffle racing option at the moment so I'll run 2x one-make races (4 heats each) with PP handicaps on Thursday. Cars TBA but they'll be affordable. No doubt run some Nascar under lights so bring one of those too.

Tracks also TBA but will be predominantly (if not all) new circuits. Qualifying settings are MUCH better in GT6 so we'll be doing one-lap quallys before each race again :)

You can basically set a qually time limit (enough to do one lap) and your car will spawn a corner or two back from the start line when the session begins. Complete a lap and when the timer runs out qually finishes immediately and displays the grid, before launching straight into the race. Qually can also be set without other cars on the track so no excuses for not getting a clean lap ;)

[shifted]

You're meant to..

Not meant to delete your saved data.

Yeah I know, so you have to redownload it every time? No way to copy it over to a USB instead?

Set up the G27 wheel again, looking forward to giving this game a proper go as I didn't really bother with GT5.

[Susstt]

Yeah I know, so you have to redownload it every time? No way to copy it over to a USB instead?

You get 400mil each time you delete it, if you've done it right. Buy all your cars etc etc before you re-dl. Dont think you can copy it.

[apg39]

Did it this morning, 20mil is enough to buy heaps of cars but I got 3 more Vision GTs just to top up the bank balance when it gets low.

Took so long I didn't actually get to play it either, except th Redbull prototype around Bathurst....470km/h down Conrod FTW!

[shifted]

You get 400mil each time you delete it, if you've done it right. Buy all your cars etc etc before you re-dl. Dont think you can copy it.

You only get $20million each time. Unless you're selling a whole bunch at once? Will try that. :-D

[FitzyB]

Found a glitch, did the first race of the 500pp clubman cup. It didn't read that I crossed the line at the end of lap 2, so lap 2 was 2 laps long... And I came last by like 2 minutes, rather than winning it.

I really hope this isn't a common occurrence, going to be really annoying on the long races...

[karnage]

^^^^ LOL that sucks big time.

[Susstt]

You only get $20million each time. Unless you're selling a whole bunch at once? Will try that. :-D

Did you read how to do it properly? :\

Sell the first one
Go back online
Buy 20 more
Delete game data again
Sell 1 for 20mil
Spend 20mil
Sell 2nd for 20mil
Spend 20mil
etc..

= 400mil.

[shifted]

Nah followed different one online - my bad! Will do that!

[Susstt]

..go back a page and look at what MGR posted.

[SK]

just did that glitch, ended up getting 10 vision GTs because who the hell needs 20 haha

so had about $200 mil to play with, got all the cars i could ever want then sold the last one and left $20 mil in my bank to use for any other things i might want such as mods and other cheap cars etc

thanks for posting!

[Sack]

Is anyone having problems with the game not recognising the clutch and gear stick input on some tracks with the G27? Only the flappy paddles work even though I have previously used a car in manual config.
Also the L1 and R1 to quick scroll through the menus doesnt work most of the time.

Yep! Not sure why, as the setup menu specifically has a G27 listed.

[mr_rotary]

Also having issues with the 'R1'. Seems to be no option to assign the command to a button.

[LarryDavid]

I noticed the same thing happen last night on my G25 (only the paddles would work, not the shifter). I think its based on the car, one was like the Merc SLS GT3 car, other was some R35 GT car. once i went back to a normal car it was fine

[Sack]

Na its definitely the game. TOMs Chaser was working using clutch and shifter two days ago and yesterday it wasn't.

[Azrian]

When does the vision gt come available?
DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

1. Back up your GT6 save file onto a USB thumb drive (just in case)

2. Make sure you have a Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo in your garage.
You get the first one free from the 'Vision GT' car list.

3. Make sure you have a car selected other than the AMG Vision.
Select your Honda Fit for example.

3. Quit the game and delete the GT6 Game Data from the XMB menu.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR GT6 SAVE GAME FILE!

4. Disconnect your PS3 from the internet.

5. Re-launch the game (the game will run in V1.0 mode - without the patch)

6. Go into your garage and you will see a car called [2055].
This is the AMG Vision vehicle, but the game doesn't recognise it with patch V1.01

7. Sell this vehicle.
You will be prompted that the value of the car is 333,993,856 credits, but you will only get 20,000,000 credits (game maximum). Select YES.


You now have 20,000,000 credits. Great, but here's the kicker....


8. Quit the game, reconnect to the internet and start the game again.
This time download the V1.01 patch and bring your game up to date.

9. Use your newly acquired 20,000,000 credits to buy 20x Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Vehicles.

10. Quit the game and delete the GT6 Game Data from the XMB menus.
Once again, DO NOT DELETE YOUR GT6 SAVE GAME FILE!

11. Disconnect your PS3 from the internet.

12. Re-launch the game (the game will run in V1.0 mode again - without the patch)

13. Sell one of your [2055] AMG Vision vehicles. You now have 20,000,000 credits.

14. Go on a shopping spree and spend all the money.

15. Sell another [2055] vehicle

16. Rinse and repeat until all [2055] cars are sold.

This will effectively give you 400,000,000 credits :)

Be warned though, the process of buying hundreds of cars will take hours!! Once you've cashed all your [2055] cars, re-patch the game.

[Azrian]

Ah ok i got it. I didnt have the internet connected in the first place. Thanks mgr first 20m done

[NoOg_sTaR]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Enjoy the next 10 hours...

I did the exploit twice. Bought $480mil of cars. Then spent the rest on buying 16 $20mil cars to "bank" on moments of need.

[Azrian]

I wasnt that nuts. I just finished. 120 cars and 20M in the bank.

[Kickit]

anyone know if theres a drag strip on the game? just got it the other day.

[Sack]

Just to confirm there is a glitch with the L1 and R1 navigation buttons as they don't work on the controller either.
Also found another one with a certain metallic colour that turns your car into a black shadow.

[mys1]

Things I've found awesome

You can roll cars now!

[Sack]

Found yet another issue. If you change gears with the NOS button on it will red line in any heat yet you won't increase your speed. You have to let go of the NOS button, change gear, then engage it again.

[Risk10k]

Played this morning, lolled at international/national liscencing - this shit again!


But yeah, proceeded to play and collect shitty ff cars. Sold everything and bought an sw20 mr2 and took the wing off and racing hard tyres - proceeding to loop turn one in silverstone 3 times in a row.


Fuck.

[2LMILK]

Tried the hack the other night. V102 seems to of fixed it. All my nice new cars that I went into 1.02 with are all labelled at the merc but the picture looks like the cars I bought. Fuck

[Matty180]

Just recently got GT6, Looking at getting a steering wheel. is the logitech G27 any good?

[Marti]

Have been playing for a few days. Have only bought 3 cars as iv modified and used cars that were included. Was very surprised with the old school gt40. Have used it to win most of the 3rd round races. Still have 4 million credits.

[Miggy]

Very good, it's the one to get.

Just push "Up" on the D-Pad. It turns of the Ghosts.

[Butcher]

Odd i dont have MGR show up as a ghost, yet he is in my friends list. How does the ghost feature work with the online challenges, i would of though that he'd be there, being that he is one of the faster racers around here. Went 2.1 seconds quicker than the ALag guys on my friends list in the M4 challenge and surely there has to be a faster time.

[hostage_85]

Actually I noticed that too?!?

I equaled his times in a few - try pressing up on the d pad - turn them back on!

I find them quite handy for lines through corners!


Did not beat him however... Nigga is like Jesus! Walks on water! That and I'm using the trusty controler and not a wheel :)

[Butcher]

I worked it out, went back though my friends list and he isnt there anymore which would explain it. God damn some of you guys are handy with FF car challenge at silverstone

[MGR]

Had to delete some because PS3 limits to 100 friends. I start deleting from the bottom (longest without logging on). Feel free to add me again if you want my ghosts lines ;)


FUCKING MGR!!!

you'r time are in all my licenses... fuck up so many times trying to chase your ghost, wish you could turn it off!

and how the hard did you Gold the Lambo in the S-license!

I just do the lap to get the gold and move on. :) I don't like the licence tests and most of the time trials because SRF is forced on.

Basically SRF (Skid Recovery Force) seems to artificially increases the car's mechanical grip if it starts to slid. So instead of braking in a straight line and trying to be smooth, you just sort of chuck the car a bit sideways into the braking zone and it pulls up much quicker than braking normally.

When I say chuck I don't mean whipping the handbrake or anything like that. Just a nice aggressive 4-wheel drift toward the apex. You don't want too much sideways attitude otherwise you'll hurt your exit speed.

[S_E]

Just got it, came with a 15th anniversary helmet which was pretty cool, I didn't buy a special edition or anything..

I can't tell if the exploit will still work for me...only one was to know I guess.

[MGR]

I can't tell if the exploit will still work for me...only one was to know I guess.

It's been patched out with v1.02

So even if I start the game not connected to the internet it won't work after updating then?

[MGR]

So even if I start the game not connected to the internet it won't work after updating then?

The glitch relies on you buying a car only available after updating to v1.01 and selling it after reverting to v1.00

You can play the game without updating, but when you do it'll update directly to v1.02

[apg39]

But when you revert back to original version & sell one for $20mil it should still work? I did it this morning, updated to v1.02 and still had my $20mil & all the cars.

There's no way for them to stop you selling the [2055] & getting bulk coin.

Only if you purchased the cars in your garage (Vision GT AMG, M4 etc) with version 1.01 of the game. These cars can still be sold in V1.00 for 20,000,000.

But if you try and buy these same cars in V1.02 (as will be the case for S_E) and sell in V1.00 it won't work.

[ossie_21]

Damn having to play the way it was intended

With the 110% login bonus today I did some seasonal events and got up to 2mil plus pretty quickly at least. I did the Hudson one, thought it would be an extra 10% so 65k so was pretty happy to get over a million for one lap :D. Would have been sweet to get a head start on cash using the loophole but oh well

[Marti]

Really no need for it. If your smart with your car purchase and use one car for multiple races youll save money.

[S_E]

The glitch relies on you buying a car only available after updating to v1.01 and selling it after reverting to v1.00

Ah gotcha, seems like it's easy enough to get money anyway :p

[FitzyB]

I did the first seasonal challange, got silver, figured that will do for now and can grind for hours chasing that elusive gold later, exited, got 540k for that. So if you want to start building coin that first seasonal with the hudson works pretty damn well.

As a side note, I am yet to check if you can still gift cars? If so, let me know of some you want S_E and I can send them across.

[Pete]

1 thing that kind of pisses me off is that all races i've done now are rolling starts, I just done the euro hot hatch race in london, and by the time i cross the line to start the lead car is 15-16 seconds ahead.

other then that, i've been enjoying it.

[Thychiz]

I get way too carried away with buying cars... I think I have about 6 different GTRs, 5 or 6 various Evos, couple brz/86s some VWs, handfull of Silvias, all of the GT "track" versions of the cars and the HKS Evo ... basically any Jap car I can find - that has an actual interior I buy :P I can't stand to play with just a black abyss of nothingness for an interior, with a tiny little G sensor in the middle.

I drive them once, realize it's shit (or not) and never drive again lol. A prime example of this is the NSX in this game, for me at least. Was an absolute joke to drive, can't put a charger on it either. But then some other cars I thought would be shit surprised me, the BRZ being one, with a big fuck-off turbo strapped onto it is absolutely amazing, and doesn't handle completely stupidly on boost.

[Risk10k]

Yeah, the easy way to check if its a premium car is if you can use the gallery function in the dealership. Wanted a car I could put a kit on, after 900 versions of the s13 I found the premium one - 'Dia' or similar.

[Chivalry]

On the topic of 'premium' cars, what really shits me, probably more then anything else in the game is the premium/standard counterpart cars. Good example is the 1963 Corvette, factory one is a 'premium' model but the awesome 1963 Corvette racer from old school GT is still 'standard'. So lazy.

The guy who designed Gran Turismo, I swear he is just way too fucking anal about things to ever be able to put together a GT that feels like a complete game.

[Risk10k]

Just beat MGR's time on the Mito challenge, LOLLED at myself - as he probably set that as his first lap, got gold and moved on.




Add me, Risk10k :) I CBF adding everyone.

Has anyone else been having trouble downloading the GT6 update 1.08?

Modem reset and Cat6 wired connection, gets to about 25% then stops with an error code (800233EF) Not much info about it on the PSN community.

[mr_rotary]

Just did it over the weekend with no isses. Took nearly 2 hours though as I had to DL the past 3 updates as well.

[Brockas]

Updates took ages, but well worth it.

Senna stuff is bloody brilliant. The gold medal in the Lotus 97T at Brands Hatch was genuinely challenging (for me at least). Managed to get it after dozens of attempts.
