Gran Turismo 6

[Weederr33]

I have to say that I just don't get the whole Gran Turismo - Forza debates. I've played both, and in terms of physics they seem the same. There are a few differences, but it just seems like a fanboy type ordeal. I do feel like GT is lagging behind severely in graphics and sound, though. Outside of the premiums, it kills me when i'm driving in an excellently detailed GT86 but driving on a clearly old school track whose pixels can be hand counted! Anyway, I am enjoying GT6 A LOT!

[Azull]

Mine finally came in yesterday so I got to put a little time in. Game looks stunning unless you are viewing one of the replay cams (such as before the race starts). The replay cams seem to suffer from a noticeably lower frame rate and has wonky shadows. I haven't had any issues frame rate or graphically in the driving views.

So far the game seems less a grind then 5, granted I didn't do much last night. I also love that they got rid of the used car dealership and just made every car purchasable normally.

I do wish that it was ps4 controller capable.

[Therin]

Just installed an SSD to my PS3 but I forgot to transfer my GT6 data over. I haven't played much but I have the pre-order bonuses already installed. A few questions:

1) Can I redownload/reuse my preorder bonuses on a new save file as long as it's affiliated with the same PSN ID? If this is possible, #2 and #3 don't matter.

2) I read that if I put my old HDD back in in order to backup to USB, it will require a format before it will play which will delete the data. Is this true?

3) Is it possible to use external hardware to pull the save data off and transfer them to a USB on my PC?

(I may have asked in another thread too.)

[Azull]

Not sure if its been said but if you freeze before the neon tracked Kart races like I do.. go to single race and do a time trail on it first. it seems to fix the crash issue when the grid loads.

[Eleven19]

Yo guys, this is on sale right now at Gamestop for 40 bucks. I almost picked it up, decided on Black Flag instead but if any of you were waiting for a quick price cut, now's the time.

[Tajin]

This game is so good I forgot it even existed (was even surprised yesterday when I saw it on display haha), kinda a shame as I would love a racer, going to hold until I get a ps4 I guess.

[Nitsuki]

So i've been playing it almost nonstop since i got it from gamefly. What a huge improvement in physics and simplicity of the menu. So far i'm enjoying it a lot, my only gripes are still the vacuum engine sounds (although better than before), and the standard cars again. But otherwise, it's fun, going to be picking up a steering wheel stand to finally get into all this.

[Omniyoji]

Figured I'd update since this game gets no love and some not being aware game is regularly updated.

-Race for Fun

bump for newest update (see above)

The sound is clearly different.

The main differences are the adaptive reverb (small difference due to scenery, plus changes in the algorithmic "tail" in response to enclosed areas, mostly volume) and the cabin coloration, which are actually related in terms of how they're implemented. With the cabin coloration, there's an approximate structural contribution, too. The bass response of the coloration works well with a lumpy idle! :B

All of these effects are lo-fi, implying room for improvement on PS4.

The cabin coloration has three forms: closed road car, closed race car and open-top; their coverage correlates well with the classifications that PD uses elsewhere. They are not designed for use with samples, in my opinion.

The mix is more spatial again, and wind noise is back; the tyre / road noise contributes to the structural aspect I mentioned before.

quote from above link for newest update. Sounds are now more realistic (mainly wind). If you don't like a particular sound at least you can change your mic position. It seems to me like they're reaching "PS3 limitations" with this game. Very hopeful for PS4 GT
