[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I didn't see this coming, but for as much time as it took to make GT5, I have a feeling this might be a re-skin cash grab to close out the PS3. If you go to gametrailers.com you can see the video on it. For some reason it wont allow me to post it as I get error messages but wanted to make a thread here about it.

[mXm] andy19 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I was thinking the same thing about the cash grab. From what I've read, it's all the same content plus about another 50%, and using a different physics engine. Nothing more. I don't think I'll be picking this one up. I still have a LOT of Forza to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't even know why they did 6 on the three. I am curious to see how the new physics engine is though. I did always feel that it held on to inertia too long. Sure I cooked the tires blasting down into a turn, but once speed scrubs off the tires grip again. In GT they are butter till 20ish mph. I hate that its for the PS3. A fucking wasted opportunity for Sony as well to have a premium title ready at release of the 4 to guarantee a successful launch.

[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I think they are betting on DriveClub from the developers of Motorstorm, an in-house studio which I am sure is cheaper for SONY to make. Plus, Polyphony to a ridiculous amount of time to put out an above average title in GT5. It just wasn't as gripping as the others. I agree Randy, missed opportunity much like all this time they could have been developing a SOCOM title to launch with the PS4 to challenge the COD throne. I don't know why they haven't done the research to see there is a lot of value still in a true SOCOM reboot. Polyphony needs to be careful because another so-so GT title could see it dethroned by DriveClub, Forza, and even GRID2 for that matter. We shall see how it all plays out soon enough.

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Demo downloaded. Im nine seconds off the record after about 20 laps. I am still fiddling with the abs. The traction control is still wayyyy too intrusive when steering into a slide, causes the car to snap the other direction, and usually right off the track. I have it set to one to help with the ass end wanting to come out when you're hard on the pedal and just slightly turning. You still have to feather it though. Before you can compete for the GT Academy, you have to race a "shakedown" one lap tutorial (guess) and then you buy, of all things, an electric car as your first car, the Nissan Leaf. The AI is dumb as always and brakes too early for every turn. Breezing through the two event "Sunday Cup" is a snap. Next up is a 370Z Nissan in a two race "Clubman Cup" same as above, easy peezy. After that, its you, a semi prepped 370Z, and Silverstone Circuit. You can practice segments of the track, but the only one the competition is based on is the full lap.

[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks, Ill have to download that now. So do you think it might be worth a purchase from the DEMO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Im a Gran Turismo mark. So my answer is biased. Of course I'm getting it, probably the special edition like I did last time. Still have the book and die-cast. However, I will only be buying it for PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Some more thoughts now that I have spent some time with the demo. I have gotten my lap down to 2.26.045. I am struggling to get a better lap as it is very difficult to get the power down in ANY kind of a turn. Watching the fastest Ghost replays, the drivers almost always shift up so the motor is not in the power band and you can control the car better under cornering and acceleration. I also feel like the physics are different from the third persoon view to the in car view. After the last little chicane there is a final corner that takes you to the straight. Its really two corners. In third person view, if I am in third, and matte the pedal to the floor, it will begin to get the car loose. Contrarily, if I take the same corner, same gear and matte the pedal in the in car view, the car stays planted. Anyone elses thoughts?

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 More thoughts... Drug out the ole Driving Force GT. Huge difference, first lap out, and I am less than a second from gold. The steering input is everything. Easier to accelerate when the computer doesnt think you have the steering wheel full lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I haven't downloaded it yet, but did they announce a PS4 version of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Downloaded it and ran half a lap before I logged off. Need to get more track time in before I make any judgements, however it's been so long since I've played GT5, it'll actually be like a whole new game to me.

[mXm] andy19 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 So I got around to playing it. Did the Sunday and Clubman cups. Didn't race the GT Academy races because I hate Silverstone. I don't like it. It's no different than GT5 other than menus (as far as I can distinguish from the last time I played GT5), and by today's standards it looks like shit. At least everything but the cars. I don't think I'll be picking this up - I'm very content with Forza 4 as my go-to game if I want to run some laps.

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I hate Silverstone too. Stupid fucking corners in it. However, sack up Canadian. I am currently @ 2.23:4xx. Come get some. Also, you will be buying it when it comes out for PS4. It will be beautiful. This is just a demo on the PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 GT6 is on for $39.99 right now for a limited time. I will be picking it up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 So the sale was for American stores only. I checked EB Canada site and it was $39.99...up until last night. Now it's back up to the original price of $60. Luckily I could log into Amazon.com with my fake US account and get the digital code emailed to me, so I now have GT6. Need to download it when I get home, and then the copious patches afterwards. Hopefully I can play tonight, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Very cool. You will not be disappointed. I haven't played in awhile but its still there and I still have some stuff to do for completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
