Why people play these games with a control?

I always thought Sony needed to do a special edition that

Brings the wheel

Wheels are expensive and not everyone has space for one.

 

[supersaw]

Nope.

My Fanatec is ready as well.

Excellent, did you see the Clubsport shifter ? Preordered mine the other day, should be out before GT6.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I love owning a 370Z.

Not only do GT games highlight Z cars like crazy (seriously...every other game icon in GT5 was a 370Z or 350Z), but also because the academy demos are all about 370Zs, as well (for obvious reasons). So getting to sample my own car in the newest iteration of a game feels awesome.

Plus I know Kaz loves Zs.

 

[bodyboarder]

Nope.

My Fanatec is ready as well.

My dual shock is charged.

 

[Goldrusher]

T minus 10 hours.

You should search "lotus elise spin" on youtube

 

[supersaw]

So it's 8:34 GMT now here in Aus and I still don't see the demo.


Edit: Just popped up then, downloading now.

 

[scf]

The demo is up in the UK store https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw...2013/cid=EP9001-NPEA90124_00-0000000000000000

If those load times transfer over to GT6, I'll be really happy. I think the game looks better too, and seems to have a smoother frame rate. I'm not imagining that right?

Is it running at a solid 60fps now?

 

[littlebirdtoldme]

fuck no. it stutter like mad.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Seriously?

What's causing that then, no adaptive vsync?

o_0 what do you mean by "stutter"? Is it 25-60 fps or are there Oblivion-like microfreezes?

stutter means stutter, basically solid framrate that stutters in short burst.

in gt6 demo usually when you take a corner.

 

[Kelas]

I noticed stutter once, second last corner of the Autumn Ring Mini, I think. Overall this seems smoother and looks nicer than GT5, though I don't know if it's constant 60.

 

[Certinty]

Game really does feel a lot better than GT5.

Amazed they put such shit AI in the demo though.

 

[supersaw]

Framerate is actually kind of bad in parts but graphics are definitely improved from 5, hope the framerate is fixed in the full game.

You can notice it dip when you change to cockpit view, bonnet or bumper cam is generally decent although it does tend to dip on Silverstone in the more built-up areas.

 

[Polishin8r]

wow for me frame rate is perfect, why everyone is complaining?

Spoiler

SSD might be helping

, love the way cars handle more natural less stiff and overall faster loading/ hud changes are amazing DAY 1

 

[NullPointer]

fuck no. it stutter like mad.

This. I expected some minor quibbles or that maybe people were being too sensitive, but nope, its a mess, and its completely deflated my hype for the game.

For the record I'm running this on a brand new 500GB slim, on a 1080p Bravia. Its chunky, stuttery and anything but silky smooth.

As it has been mentioned many times, 1080p mode is fucked. Play in 720p. Didn't see any stutter at all, and very minor frame drops.

 

[cbox]

The times from selection to race is still slow though. They sorta give you the illusion of faster loading since the tracks loads up in the background after the second flag wipe. It's still a while before you start the race though.

At least for me. On a ps3 slim 250gb.

then how do you know it's better?

 

[velociraptor]

Wheels are expensive and not everyone has space for one.

The one thing that annoys me about wheels are the jumble of wires.

I want a wireless FFB wheel and I'll be happy. Wheels already require a power outlet. Isn't that enough?

I think I'm playing GT in 1080p mode yet I don't see any stutters or framedrops. What gives?

You can save 1 cable if you use a Fanatec wheel with this dongle.

The dongle only works with the old Porsche wheels, it won't work with the more modern CSR stuff.

You cant notice any change when cycling through the different views? Anyways, if you cant notice it, then great. Dont look for it and enjoy it.

Give cockpit view a try and you'll see the problem. Yes, 1080p mode cockpit view is fucked.

 

[amar212]

More and more buzz about Goodwod FS and Goodwood Climb.

Nofi will have the report.

Maybe we get some interesting news in next few days.

Gamescom baby! Let it come! I think there's so much about this game we haven't heard yet.

 

[Gouda Jouji]

Oh man, wasn't there a thread a few months ago on GTPlanet about PD scanning the circuit and the hillclimb?

Goodwood circuit is pretty dull, but the hill climb would be nice

 

[amar212]

It is official:

Goodwood Hill Climb to Feature in Gran Turismo®6

Goodwood’s renowned 1.86km Hill Climb, centre piece of the British stately home’s annual Festival of Speed, has been announced as a new track to feature on the forthcoming Gran Turismo®6 for PlayStation®3. Polyphony Digital Inc., creators of PlayStation®’s best-selling Gran Turismo® franchise, recently announced a deal to partner the Goodwood Festival of Speed (11-14 July). A new GT6™ demo will now give some of the expected 185,000-plus spectators their chance to challenge Nick Heidfeld’s 1999 41.6s course record set in a Formula 1 car. The demo will include a range of stunningly recreated cars to race up the virtual version of "the Hill".

Nce little bonus!

 

[alba]

Awesome.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Good, but Pikes Peak needs to be next!

 

[Metalmurphy]

He's been to Goodwood many times before and it's never showed up in GT, plus it's crap and too short, the race circuit is also crap. Do not want.

 

[RoaringHawk]

Oh wow!

Now just let me preorder the anniversary edition already

 

[Dave_6]

Hell yes!

 

[Tycho_b]

Yup, DF analysis shows it pretty much - anyone talking about stutter at 720p seems to be hypersensitive to framerate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT4QUkyK6X4

 

[SolidSnakex]

The PSblog mentioned that they're hoping to have a video in the next 24h.

 

[Akira_83]

Gran Turismo 5 is not available on PSN however sony has since started to really push day 1 digital

any chance this will be? i dont buy retail PS3 games anymore so heres hoping!

havent played a GT since GT3 and PSP version

 

[amar212]

The PSblog mentioned that they're hoping to have a video in the next 24h.

Yes, no video on the press-site, only announcement and stills.

I see this as potential prospect for return of *normal* Leaderboards - this track is born to be tackled by friends and overall.

Even if only Time Trial under Arcade mode for Premium cars and with no tuning and on dedicated tyres (as during Prologue) - but to have the same filtering options as in current GT6 demo: Friend/Regional/World.

And they should really introduce "Country" (or "Local") rankings, where you could see the results and position for all players under particular flag - it would mean miracles to countless European and other PAL players - Country/Local competition would be furious.

 

[BloodMoney]

goodwood is nice and everything, but come'on... show us Bathurst

So they chose Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Goodwood. Disgusting.
