Gran Turismo 6 - GT6 PS3 Thread

[Sinner]

Sinner P, do you have shots of the bikes?

Errrrmmm... what bikes?

There aren't any bikes.  The last time Polyphony made a game with bikes was Tourist Trophy for the PS2 back in '06.

Any way to change kilograms to pounds in the game?

 

[Hahahaha]

That's extremely disappointing. I read that they had bikes, guess not.

Not that I can find.  It's only MPH - KPH.  I wanna switch Fahrenheit to Celsius... 

 

[jrdnsrnss]

Game is pretty good so far. I still can't believe how god awful the sound is in this series. You would think with the attention to detail Kazunori has this would have been addressed back with GT5. I just bought a 2014 Corvette and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

 

[Sinner]

^ I hear ha. 

The more I'm trying different cars, but more I'm like feel  of the steering.  Maybe it's the new model, maybe it's psychological... 

But the game would be so much better if they just fixed the damn sounds!  I just don't get it.  It's not like they're not meticulous about it... but maybe it's their sound-generator-algorithm-thingamajig.  

At least photomode's fun... for me anyway... 

In my latest edition... supercars. 













My FAV.

 

[jewseejay]

finally played this the other night. forza is way better honestly

Id like 2 play with a wheel on both tho. But as others have stated the sounds arnt accurate. Also the weight of the cars to me felt better on forza

 

[Thats My Word]

Nice pics, sinner. I'm going to give photomode a try later.

 

[sofa king awsm]

I have both games. forza 5 isnt way better. about even imo. maybe slightly better because of customization and graphics. F4 > F5 tho

the physics in gt6...i gotta get used to. spinning out all the damn time when im tryin to drift.

i heard in a podcast, you can hook up this usb to your FR-S or BRz i forget which one, only works for this car for now.  You take your car to the track and run it a few times, then you can go home and upload your data from your usb stick to your GT6 and run that same track back and practice to improve your lap times. 

 Saw a snipit of a video for it, really crazy concept.

What? Please explain this again.

i know i'm terrible at 'splainin things! 

 it was on some IGN Beyond podcast, where they list the 10 best things about GT6.  At work right now, so i can't find the vid.  But it should be on IGN beyond's most recent podcast

 What you do is you take a memory stick and you stick it into the car, and then you come back, stick it back in the PlayStation, and you'll get to relive that experience within the game. And  Gran Turismo 6  will have this feature. It's a joint collaboration project between us and Toyota. And the chief engineer on the Scion FR-S had that in mind when he developed the car. It's so cool. We kind of got involved in the development of the car. That's why the car has that feature now.

 

[Sinner]

^ Yeah, we sorta touched a bit on it in the GT5 thread but this vid describes it...



 

 

[Sinner]

 

^ Using a wheel?

No, just a DS3

Did you tweak the controller-sensitivity?  For the DS3, I found that -2 worked better for me... made the steering smoother.  

Anyway, the Red Bull X Challenge update is up!  v1.02!

[finnns2003]

That's a cool feature, and I have an FR-S... Might have to try

 

[Sinner]

^ Can you drift it while reading a book??? 

 

[jrdnsrnss]

I actually haven't tweaked it yet. I'll play around with the different setting and see what i like best.

 

[Sinner]

Back with another photo-set.

[jrdnsrnss]

Anyone else can't stand that same song they play every time you start a new race. It drives me nuts.

 

[Sinner]

^ Oh really? The first thing I did back in GT1 was turn the BGM to 0!  Been doing that ever since! 

 

[tr1ll]

I copped this last Wednesday and was soo upset. It was GT5 with all the DLC......












...and then I brought my steering wheel out the closet.

. Whole new game! I've been marathonin' all weekend.

That's what I've been saying since GT5 when I first bought my DFGT!  It's a whole new gaming experience! 

 

[sofa king awsm]

yup with a wheel this game is beast

 

[Sinner]

Anyone try the Red Bull challenges yet?  The RB X2014 Junior handles like it's on rails!  The kart is also considerably better!

I started the karting races but i'm horrible at driving them. Driving the X1 is so hard with a DS3. I've got gold in every Goodwood event except that very last one with the X1. I haven't even had a successful finish cause that thing is OD quick for that narrow, tiny course.
