Gran Turismo 6

[THE_EGG]

I just got my copy yesterday. I have to say I am impressed. Especially considering this is running off of the PS3 and not PS4.

Pros
- AMAZING handling, proper weight shifting etc
- Good replay footage
- Improved car engine sounds (although still not great)
- Great graphics for PS3
- You can really feel the difference of a car after changing the setup and upgrades
- Vastly improved AI
- Weather, temperature etc seem to affect the car

Cons
- Off-road/rally events are still mediocre
- Car crash sounds are still rather poor although you shouldn't be crashing really :P
- Having to change the TCS/ABS etc options at the beginning of each race, it doesn't seem to save these as far as I know.
- Hard to play with a controller
- No Citroen DS3 D:

Anyone else have their copy? Or getting it?

Love it so far, only fault is constant tyre screeching noise. no Jetta haha

Was honestly surprised GT6 wasn't on the PS4. So I picked up the Xbox One with Forza 5. Shame it doesn't support my Fanatec Porsche Turbo S wheel tho.

May use my deposit on the PS4 for GT6.

Yep I've got my copy, can't say I agree about the AI... they're hopeless (so far). They really need a difficulty setting so that I don't have to drop 150PP just to have a competitive race.

Here's one I recorded the other day on the mountain (using steering wheel pedals & H shifter)

I know the Scirocco R and NSX don't have the best handling next to the 86 but there is no way I should've been able to win that.

Nice. I got out my G25 yesterday and tried to give it a shot only to find the new desk I got doesn't fit the clamps well at all and just makes the wheel and gearstick fall off. :( It is soooooo hard trying to play the game with a controller without spinning out or understeering crazily.

As far as difficulty is concerned I agree, I think you can change the AI temperament but even when changing it up to 10 it is still a bit easy.

A tip for the G25 clamps, roll up some old newspaper to fill in the gap under the desk.

Got a fanatec wheel stand v2 over Black Friday. Ships direct from Australia. It's up 50 bucks now to 149. Best money I ever spent on wheels. I never can find a convenient way to keep them when not in use.

I am enjoying it. I find the torque build up on the steering wheel is very low (if any) even with FFB on 10

But that aside I love the tyre noise, help gauge how much you are pushing
I am now able to drive with ABS = 0
Sadly our run last night ended at bathurst with a few of us being hit with the sound glitch and LAG!!!!
We will see what tonight brings the OzCoMoBros (one we get our GT5 race out of the way)
