Gran Turismo 6 Rumored to Include Large Number of Tracks

While helping out with the Polish GT Academy 2012 finals, Lucas Ordoñez made an interesting comment about Gran Turismo 6’s development, which he’s reportedly involved in.

According to a reporter on hand at the event, Lucas suggested the series’ next flagship title would include a very large number of tracks. Though the Polish source article is not clearly translated by Google, but we now have a full translation kindly provided by native Polish speaker and GTPlanet reader, Alex (Vatrox):

“We are not sure whether to consider it a rumor or a verified information, but you can be sure we are the first in the world to report it. What’s the matter? The day before yesterday (that would be 23 of July – Vatrox), “our” guy Jacob took part in the GT Academy finals held in Warsaw. Beside competitors, there was also well-known Nissan’s driver – Lucas Ordones. So what?

Well, Jacob managed to chat with him for a bit asking about Gran Turismo series and it’s future. And the information he managed to get is very interesting. Lucas gave away that Gran Turismo 6 production is in progress and we will be very surprised how accurate and well-reproduced are all the tracks. Also, the amount of them will be simply jawdropping.

Asked what platform it is being delevoped for, he replied
enigmatically: “Now, that’s a very good question…” How much truth is in that? As a Nissan’s driver and the face of GT Academy he obviously knows more than an ordinary mortal. And GT6 is certain for some platform.”

Representatives from Polyphony Digital have, of course, already been spotted at the Bathurst circuit, scanning and photographing it for Gran Turismo 6.

Over 25 different circuit logos also remain on GT5’s “Remote B-Spec Racing” website, though they are not currently available in the game.

    There is no excuse for non-premium cars in GT6, every Forza car has a detailed interior and car models. B-spec needs to disappear completely, along with museum cards and all the other superfluous junk that encroaches on development of cars, tracks, events and decent online infrastructure. Remove ridiculous tracks like Cape Ring and all the Mt. Aso type tracks, add some point to point and more real world tracks and GT6 would be unbeatable.
    I think Kaz is surrounded by yes men.

  2. DYLAN777-is-not

    Gt5 was amazing. I really really hope they focus on more new cars. The edge forza has over gt5 is that they have all the cool new cars of today (plus tons of old cars). My nongamer friends who are huge car fans always ask “so does -so and so game- have the new mustang boss or the new zl1 cuz i’d LOVE to play and drive it”. And i have to answer back and say “yes forza does but gt doesnt”. Its sad because gt5 is better than the microsoft knock off version. I also hope they add actuall drag racing but keep the’ free run’ feel cuz the forza style drag races are beyond belief bad. Also they need to add forza style drift lobbies or something like it thats actually realistic. New additions should be more wrc, better nascar racing and more f1. And all 1000+ cars be premium. Please.

    1. etnerdnl

      They would be pleased to make it all probably if they had something of a decade or more of time to do that.. and thats not gonna happen cause look at gt5 within months people started asking for more in gt6 etc.. there is simply not enough time to perfectionise the game to everyones datisfactio

    3. etnerdnl

      Gotta love my android phone .. -.- sorry .. meant to say the first post but datisfactio has to be satisfaction

    4. a5kylar990

      I agree with you on the drag racing part since the majority of players have drag lobby’s and I wish they could have more restrictions available to prevent idiots coming into rooms and screwing races up

  3. bud4211

    Good, GT6 needs to have at least 75 tracks (not layouts) in my view. They have done this on each console. GT1 had less tracks than GT2 and GT3 had less tracks than GT4. GT6 needs to impress

  4. Amac500

    I’m probably in the minority on this but I’m totally fine with PD taking their time to release GT6, rather then come out fast. I would much rather have them take the time to get everything ironed out, have plenty of newer content, take care of the barrier impact and crash psychics (why doesn’t the tire barrier give?), and the shadows. We all know if it isnt noticeably different from GT5 there will be people who complain that it is too similiar, that’s whyit needs the more content I mentioned, and why not take the time to iron out glitches? As far as I’m concerned they can take all the time they want as long as they keep adding to GT5 in the process as they currently are. Also I hope GT6 includes track CREATOR, rather then a generator, and a livery maker, and I could see them adding that livery maker to GT5 for a couple bucks I DLC, and that’s totally cool with me. It’s those kind of little customizable things that really adds to the game and keeps my constant interest :)

    1. tpark103

      I’m thinking if work on the 6th installment began after the 5th, its more than likely that 6 cantains a massive amount of fives interals. If it is perfection we are waiting for, we could be waiting till the end of time. Tick tock

    2. bud4211

      we shouldn’t have to wait. GT5’s engine is fine the way it is. The game just needed more content. That’s why they need to get GT6 out on the PS3 before fans start turning to Forza

    3. Progress823

      +1 Amac500 …. Very well said. A complete GT6 is well worth the wait; if it is released too quickly it would mirror
      GT5 too much and share some, if not most of the same issues.

      Yes, livery editor can be added as probably a patch and not even DLC; if it is implemented into GT5 it would be free most likely.

  5. Pit Crew

    After further review I stand corrected on that Eiger, Mt Everest comment. Everest is in Tibet/Napal and Eiger is in Switzerland.

    1. researchALLwars

      yeah I think you actually meant the Matterhorn is in the backround of Eiger. Honest mistake.

      Also if GT6 throws Pikes Peak our way- I hope to have an old version completely COVERED in dirt/gravel. The new Pikes Peak being paved is a bit of a downer. In fact, I’m getting sleepy just talking about it..

      ..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  6. hogger129

    Cool so instead of making GT5 into what it was supposed to be, they’re going to release GT6 in about 10 years…

    Might as well just go buy Forza instead. At least the car sounds are realistic and have more cars than just Japanese stuff.

    1. TokoTurismo

      What DuskTrooper said. I’m so fed of people like you having their hopes to high on a game came, and now you’re ALL disappointed with it and wanting to get the other game because its nothing like it. Then GO AHEAD, but when GT6 is shown and its all awesome, I can’t wait to see what you’ll type. Hahaha. Than I’ll say, “Oh look who desided to come back to see GT6!”

      Your heart will be beating of embarrassment and fear to rethink what you’ve said. OWNED by GT6 becoming better with everything it had in stored and being a complete game. >:)

  7. DuskTrooper

    These are just rumors. And like all rumors, should not be taken seriously. It’s nice to hope for a lot of tracks, but by doing so, you’re letting your hopes get the better of you. And well, that basically leads to future disappointment.

    1. DuskTrooper

      Why should one care enough about them though? They’re not true facts, they’re just words that someone said.

      If I told you that GT6 had 764 premium cars, would you care enough to believe it? And would you spread the word along knowing that it has simply not been proven true?

    2. TokoTurismo

      I sometimes don’t like or believe rumors, but theres something about this one that makes it sound good and promising, especially when the others found some infomations about the other tracks that were gonna be in GT5, but didn’t. Such as Pikes Peak being said to be in GT5 by Red Bull, and the other finding out that Pikes Peak was on one of the PD worker’s computers. There even was a track called “Gornergratbahn” being on their computer too, so there might be something good to look forward too.

      Gornergratbahn
      http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/3804_-_Winkelmatten_-_Matterhorn_viewed_from_Gornergratbahn.JPG

      And this. http://www.gtplanet.net/video-reveals-polyphony-digital-visitedstudied-spa-francorchamps/

      If this rumor came from Lucas Ordoñez, especially the fact that he felt very happy about it, than it may be true, but don’t have your hopes to high though so it won’t lead you to disappointment like what happen to the other people. :rolleyes: I too am having my hopes low, but this really does sound promising, especially if its by Lucas. :)

      Having the comment.

      “The amount of (tracks) will be such that will make a hat fall off your head.”

      “Hat falling off your head” is common way to say how you will be amazed by something.

      And now Bathurst being found out to be in GT6, makes even better. And the 25 logo tracks, 10X better! :D

    3. DuskTrooper

      IF, and only IF Gornergratbahn was in GT6, how the hell would we drive on it ? Are gonna have a train race or something? lol

    4. TokoTurismo

      Theres something called “imaginary”. Gornergratbahn could have a “imaginary” track layout and road.

  8. Schmiggz

    I really hope so. I play a lot of GT5 and i have a great group of people that play together on-line almost every night and the issue that has been coming along is the fact that we are all sick and tired of all the existent tracks.
    Personally, i think the reverses are dumb and should be replaced by new tracks including amazing tracks of previous GT games.
    Another major improvement this game deserves is being able to create files in our garage so we can organize our cars. I have close to 600 cars and there’s people with over a thousend. I would love to separate them as: Racing / Street tuned / Street Stock / Old cars. I think that would be awesome.

    1. a5kylar990

      Finally a decent comment a better car organizer would be so much better I have around 500 cars and since there’s soooo many duplicates of cars I don’t know which car is which and since favorites has a limit of 100 cars and that filled up after I had 200 cars, but that’s a great idea

    1. GTracerRens

      I want Citta d’Aria and Costa di Amalfi back. Tracks like that are awesome. I really love to cruise around in gran turismo. They should bring us some road trip tracks, not onlu circuits, als stages driving from A to B. :)

  9. TheCrazySwede

    More off-road tracks! (Pikes Peak, Scandinavian Dirt Roads, etc.)

    More American Tracks (Road Atlanta, Road America, Sebring, Thunderhill etc.)

    Closed Road Circuits (Open road secured for road racing)

    1. tpark103

      I have to be honest with you, I live near Pikes Peak and its almost completely paved. They have been working hard for several years to pave it. The challenging part is, when you get to the 25% or so that is not paved, and it is spread out in different section. :-)

    1. tpark103

      @TacoTurismo the funny thing is, I can drive PP tomorrow if I wanted in real life, I can see all 14,000 plus feet of it from house.

      It would be great to have it in the game, but I’m not going to get my hopes to hi only to be disappointed.

    2. Dynamite_Dave

      If theres anything i want in this game its the Cerebera Speed Six LM Race Car from the original game, theres a few cars from the original game why has this car been forever forgotton seeing as it was one of the best cars in the game. Just put it back in the game, have it up there competing with the GT-Rs and NSX`s . and on top of that there are real GT versions of the Speed Tweelve and Tuscan http://feedback.gtplanet.net/forums/96709-gt5-feedback/suggestions/2506787-tvr-justice

  10. Flat

    Just give us some of the great American road courses: Road America, Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, VIR etc.
    And my favorite road to drive Carolina Motorsports Park if you’ve got room!

    1. DuskTrooper

      Yeah, but half of them are duplicates. Like we really need a backwards variant, and weather/time change variant clogging up the game menus?

    1. DuskTrooper

      GT doesn’t need drag racing, at least not yet. PD and the team behind the GT series need to focus on improving the already existing racing types before they tackle a new one.

    2. GTracerRens

      I agree with DuskTrooper. I think PD should bring us back the features, tracks and other stuff from gran turismo 4 which is left out in gran turismo 5. I did love the “world map” in gt4. Driving license tests were a lot better in gt4 than in gt5. The coffee breaks for example were fun. Or driving behind the nissan skyline safety car (without hitting him :p) If PD is able to make more cars premium, remake more of the GT4 tracks in fullHD, I will be very satisfied already when buying GT6. ;)

  11. Nick350z

    And by higher number of circuits, I hope they mean REAL circuits. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the original circuits, but I would like to see more real circuits in the next installment of Gran Turismo. I would like to see more of both.

    1. xx666Kris666xx

      I want an E30 325 IS & and an E30 M3 and prob an E30 racecar wouldnt hurt hehe ;)

      cant wait for Bathurst in GT my life will be complete

    2. e30 freek

      Oh yes 325i and the e30 m3 i would cry with happyness if they were given in gt5 have you guys voted for it in the feedback section

  12. DuskTrooper

    Yeah, it may potentially have a large selection of tracks. But chances are about 60% of the total track count will be nothing but duplicates.

  13. MonGnoM

    good old Apricot hill and midfield raceways.
    i hated them on gran turismo 4, but now i miss them.

    1. Quakebass

      I’d especially love that track, since it’s in my home town… And it accurately represents it, too… just right now, the scenery is FAR outdated.

    2. e30 freek

      @Quakebass i dont know if its true but i was reading somewhere that one of the turns have changed and thats why its not in gt5 is that true

  14. Thenextbob

    I think we don’t need a new Gran Turismo,but we need some DLC’s and updates in the GT5.In GT4 they couldn’t update the video games via internet.Now they can :/ I think PD should give up on the GT6 idea.Can you believe need to start the game all over?If they update GT5 we wont need to start the video game since the lvl 0.
    Do you guys understand what I’m saying?

  15. Zamado75

    Btw that was just an example.
    So don’t start bitch*ng about the wording.

    (Kazumoron: Example, yes, wording not it. Unhappy please wording)

    : )

    1. another_jakhole

      He showed attitude? Hmm, not a surprise. I intentionally don’t read what he says. Here’s a tip for everybody: that dude’s a prick.

  16. Zamado75

    Haven’t you lot learned yet?; until something (regarding GT5/6) is said originally in English, you’re an absolute…fool…for getting excited about it.

    English: More cars are coming as DLC, likely by next week.

    Kazumoron: Cars, like DLC, want more, “soon”. High demand, DLC. Cars. Yes.

    Yh…

    1. Pit Crew

      Speak for yourself angry dude. Im not foolish enuff to buy into an attitude laden rant moment.

      Calling people names like a “fool” over the internet, just because an individual or individuals interpret some third party information as a reason to be positive about the future prospects of tracks that may be coming to GT6 and making a big deal of the language its spoken in is unnecessary, and insulting, especially when no direct provocation was initiated, and the “small” fact that the GT series has proven to have a Global gaming fanbase.

      Sure the Internet is a Powerful tool of global information, however it stops just short of giving users the liberty to make unfair Judgements.

  17. STI9

    A better track creator would be better, where you could actually make the track instead of selecting one from a random generator – then that way you could replicate any track you wanted

    1. TeamCZRRacing

      Some more detailed scenery for the track creator would be nice too, as would manual terraforming abilities.

  18. TeamCZRRacing

    So we’ve already got 70+ track layouts across 20+ locations. What’s next, 140+ layouts over 70+ locations? THAT would be awesome. It better contain a twisty Japanese mountain road, though.

  19. ningsia

    I just attended Chinajoy to see Yamauchi and got a signature.
    He mentioned that. He will go to Shanghai F1 track tomorrow to try if it’s good enough to include in next gen of GT.

  20. Snake1405

    Like MGS5, i’m waiting this game for this generation, many rumours and the possiblities are high! :F

    1. Nah

      Nah, it’s not. I really expecting that GT6 will really really unbelievably epic and solid (well i like forza car presentation and modification, really wanted GT6 can beat them TBH). Not some glitchcy stuff and unsolid job again. If ps4 can do it, than it better in one

    2. Nah it's not

      Nah, it’s not. I really expecting that GT6 will really really unbelievably epic and solid, well i like forza car presentation and modification, really wanted GT6 can beat them TBH. Not some glitchcy stuff and unsolid job again. If ps4 can do it, than it better in one

    3. TeamCZRRacing

      @Nah I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. A person creating an account to write a comment, and then creating another account just to write the same comment again. What?

    4. TeamCZRRacing

      @tpark103 That still doesn’t explain why he created another account just to post the same comment again, just with punctuation fixed. That’s like PD creating a new company every time they wanted to push out an update for GT5.

  21. kennylmao

    What Will Ferrel’s life narrator in Stranger Than Fiction will probably say:

    “And while fans hear rumors and start to speculate about the next installment of Gran Turismo, little do they know, it will be at least another ∞ years before the release of GT6.”

    :P

  22. Rushton1996

    The roumors have officially begun!!! Maybe this means that an announcement is not far away, and also a release date!!!

  23. sind3ntosca

    In Indonesia, there’s Sentul Track…. but I think Kaz won’t include it. I will be very amaze if he include it, cos i’m Indonesian. Hahahahahha…

  24. GooStuff

    I would translate it this way:
    The amount of the tracks is jawdropping.

    Lucas also admited “the production process of the GT6 is advanced”
    Asked about the generation of the platform answered: “well… this is a good question…”

    1. another_jakhole

      Interesting.

      Advanced? Could he have meant that GT6’s development is in its advanced stages?

  25. riph

    if got new tracks i hope kaz will include Sepang where i live in.yes sepang track is one of those SuperGt track hope this dream will be comes true

  26. BWX

    If the AI is non-existent like in GT5 (follow the rabbit), it won’t matter because it will be as boring as GT5 is now. Online you say? Well, there are many, many games/sims that do on-line much, much better than GT5, on-line isn’t what made the GT series unique.. If there’s no ”there” there, I don’t care how many tracks there’s going to be. I hope they work on A-Spec and the racing in GT5, not just a bunch of cool content for online multi-player.

    1. BlindZenDriver

      I don’t care that you don’t care about on-line. Sounds to me like you won’t be happy until the games has power ups and rockets :-)

    2. deviln3

      I just wish they had more of a personality.. I want to see them spin out more and make mistakes. Or at least account for the user’s pace slightly. I like that its on-line proper form racing but professional drivers make mistakes too.

    3. Quakebass

      ^ That’s actually why I do endurance races on ovals in difficult-to-drive cars with tire wear and fuel consumption on… The AI makes mistakes, and the competition is usually pretty equal; (at least with FGT’s, FF1’s, and NASCARs) no rabbit cars… Though I’d rather it be like this on regular circuits. I know that PELNTY of people HATE oval tracks.

    1. MSTER232

      As funny as it sounds, I don’t think PD are cheap enough to actually import tracks from GT4. People would start complaining about the graphics and that it looks like a PS2 game with PS3 cars.

    2. Buzz17091991

      To be honest, GT5 has some tracks with PS2-graphics. Look on the Trial Mountain Circuit or Deep Forest Raceway. The top gear test track isn’t good, too.

    1. Tvensky

      I think “IF” GT6 comes to ps3 then it will take about 3 – 4 years max..

      24 November 2010 GT5 came out, so my logic is November 2013 or 2014….

      still a lot of time to wait… and if ps4 will about to release then I hope GT6 will be available for both ps4 and ps3 (that seems most logical to me)…

  27. Quakebass

    Hmm… I wonder what other knowledge the GT Academy graduates have of GT6’s development? I’m betting that they’d be fired if they said too much… Also, considering that “which Lucas Ordoñez is reportedly involved in”, I wonder if PD will incorporate some sort of fake mini-GT Academy into the career mode of GT6… That would be interesting.

    1. tpark103

      Mini GTA in the game would be a fantastic idea. Just something else to keep up the fun factor. I’m sure the GTA grads know more a lot more than we can all imagine. Of course when are in the know on projects of this nature secrecy is peremount!

  28. marktyper

    I wonder where GT6 would be if in PS3 or PS4 . Whatever it is, I will always be getting it cause GT and PD is part of who I am and my entire life as an enthusiast.. Even though there are things in GT5 that wasn’t there, I’m still hoping for GT6 to be totally different.. I know Engine sounds sounds to be lacking but gameplay wise, I’m totally amazed about it. IF PD will have some more new ideas like the idea of Forza Horizon, that will totally expand PD’s rank.

    1. BMfan

      Engine sounds aren’t lacking,you just need a proper amp to get the best from it and i have compared Forza 4 and video clips on the same set up and gt was closer to the real cars than forza.

      I asked my friend to listen with me and even he agrees that GT was closer and he doesn’t care about racing games.

    2. mef

      BMfan: you truly are a fanboy. Engine sounds are a joke in GT5. You can be honest about it or delude yourself.

    3. The actual truth

      Have you ever heard forza’s engine sound on Ferrari? I mean look at the 458. It is not that look alike compare to forza, also the LFA. PD use the wrong method to record the sound. That’s why it is not as good as forza. They just revving it up in NEUTRAL than records it. In forza. They put the cars in dyno. That’s why

    4. Wiki

      Silence! The truth (in my opinion) is the sounds in GT5 are way to clean and in forza are way to distorted.
      An example look at the LFA in forza the sound’s far from real life, GT5 sounds closer but there’s no agressivity/ distortion.
      Obviously most people will go for the more agressive sounds in racing games.

      Both are awsome games!

    5. another_jakhole

      At the start, I liked FM’s sounds more. While GT5 had its sounds improved, FM4’s sounds sound exaggerated for the most part. Not to mention the crashing in FM4 sounds like a cartoon. I don’t understand how some people say the crashing sounds in GT5 are bad when they’re comparing FM4 to GT5.

    6. TokoTurismo

      The Mazda 787b in F4 sounds like a formula 1 car, and that car is my birthday and they screwed it up like that? See they mess up too…

      Either way I still like both games overall. :)

  29. AnPrionsaBeag

    Gran Turismo 5 is all about dashed hopes and broken promises. Given Yamauchi-san’s loose involvement and poor management of the series, why would GT6 be any better?

    1. Quakebass

      Because the 4 games that came before it were great. Until we get continued bad results from the company, don’t make that assumption.

    2. tpark103

      I was with you until you got to the end where you stated Kaz mismanaged the entire series. As a whole this has been an amazing ride! We hit a snag when it came to this title. It doesn’t have the something special that the others had. Remember the tuner village, remember classic dealership, remember when new car dealer ship was broken down by country. I don’t those are all minor things but things that made GT GT and there are many that I didn’t mention like the one make races etc.

      It’s a fine sim that gained at lot of bells and whistle but, lost its unique and in my opinion special touches. The stuff that made it the classic it is.

    3. AnPrionsaBeag

      You’re talking about a long time ago when there was virtually no competition. Now gamers can compare Gran Turismo with the likes of Forza and Cars, not to mention iRacing and rFactor. I used to be a die-hard fan of the series and still own all iterations but GT6 won’t be an automatic buy, especially as Cars will be out when it finally gets released.

    4. BlindZenDriver

      I so do not get all the negativity. GT5 is amazing.

      Is there things in GT5 I’d like different for sure. But that is mainly because there is so much to care about and most is so polished it is bloody great.

  30. TomBrady

    I hope this is legit, but to be real, I’m afraid the bulk is going to be originals. I love a lot of the originals, but other than what we got there’s really only 5 or 6 I think we really need. The rest of the additions should all be real tracks.

    GT does make the best originals and I love them, but the reason why real tracks are so good, is well not just because they’re real but because they’re in a lot of other games/sims as well. Having farmiliar tracks in a sim/game is important because it goes a long way in drawing someone to buying the sim.

    Also hoping for more course maker locations and options. What I really want is a GT original Touge track, like Fujimi Kaido. I don’t care for Forza very much, but I think anyone would admit that Fujimi Kaido is a bad mother f****. It’s a great track

  31. RandomCarGuy17

    I hope some of the new tracks in GT6 will be original tracks from the classic GT games such as Red Rock Valley, SSR11, Grindlewald, & Rome Night.

    1. TomBrady

      all of those minus the old Rome. Plus we need El Capitan, Grand Canyon, Citta di Aria, and especially Costa Di Amalfi. Plus I think they should bring back infineon. That’s really a great track, I love tracks like that.

  32. ADDiCT3D_2_BASs

    This best be released at least 3 or 4 years so its on the next gen console. Better sounds pl0x.

  33. oneloops

    For GT6 is essential to improve the SOUNDS A LOT ! Like Shift2 it should be enough …

    Also AI have to improve so much ! I’m bored of overtaking slow cars like turtles who brakes 50 meters before it’s needed !!!

    No overtaking pleasure with such AI !

    1. oneloops

      And UK tracks please !!! They are so good… cadwell park, outlon, knockhill, donington … all with lots of fun changing levels !

    2. tpark103

      -shadows
      -duplicate cars
      -more tracks
      -etc

      We could go on and on its been said 100 times in here and in the forums.

    3. aronh17

      Apparently a lot of people do not understand. Bad shadows are to make the game run smoother, have you seen how good GT5 looks? We’re hitting limitations on our hardware no matter what anyone says. Seeing how fast tech is moving, we’ll need new consoles every 5 years unless they will make them upgradable. Any gaming company could make insane shadows, but we can’t see that happen because our games would have drastic FPS drops. Every other game I’ve played has pixelated shadows and it doesn’t really matter. Just 6 years ago there were games being made that looked nothing like these at all, still today PS2 games are made. As I say we need new hardware, we should still recognize that these consoles have immense power and are giving us amazing games no matter what. It’s too bad that expectations get higher and higher.

    Being able to choose between different outside camera angles in replays.
    ONLY premium cars and more D1 cars….
    Cant be that difficult, PD………

  35. jasr73

    So err, great. Assuming Lucas Ordoñez has had some ‘in-confidence’ exposure to the development of GT6; he’s also an authorised spokesperson for Polyphony Digital?

    This is the most frustrating thing about the way PD operates in my mind. They can manage to pull off some brilliant public relations events, yet when it comes to articulating their road map for future releases, we often get vague tweets from Kazunoir, random comments from the Sony hierarchy or GT ambassadors like Mr Ordoñez making off the cuff remarks to journos.

    Millions of games sold over the years, a huge loyal fan base (champing at the bit for any scrap of information) and they still don’t seem too be able to co-ordinate cohesive public relations messages. Appoint someone to manage it for you properly.

  36. Wiki

    OK, What GT6 needs:
    – Great car selection
    – No standars (i dont care if they are less than 1000 i prefer quality over quntity)
    – Superb graphics, physics and sound (well i think those are a must)
    – Real world events with real characteristics
    – More tracks
    – Realistic Tyre system
    – Be able to use in-car settings and features (switch from track to race mode for example)

    If you want to add something else, Reply.

    1. samuelesm

      being able to adjust in car settings would be hard to configure for in racing, but maybe in the menu it’s possible

    2. mathieub33

      All track with weather change possibility… Daytona Superspeedway at night!
      Possibility to buy all cars new from dealers no standards to know the real millage i do with the car.

    3. tpark103

      I’d would say -30 MX5’s most of them are identical. You could go down the line with the duplicates that have minor difference all in the name of reaching that magic 1000 car number.

    4. carfanatic45

      -Interior car Photos
      -Improved track editor or no track editor at all
      -Livery Editor
      -More Online and Offline race restrictions

    5. 300SRT8Fan

      A drive mode. Take a convertible, (WITH THE TOP DOWN!) and drive on famous routes like the autobahn, Route 66, U.S. 31, and many other famous locations. This would be awesome!

    6. aronh17

      Improved track editor or no editor at all? I don’t care if it isn’t improved, put it back in so I can have some more tracks when I feel like it. I’d look forward to more realistic things such as day/night/weather on all tracks and such. I don’t care about standard cars, as they are all still different in handling and the way they act. As much as people don’t realize, GT5 is a huge accomplishment in the gaming world. Being able to push those graphics and physics like weather and day/night while also pushing smoke that dense is amazing. I remember the first time I drove the McLaren F1 stealth model around Le Mans weather/time change. Best moment ever. Looking back idk why I bought GT5, it’s just immense love for the game. At that time I was in the action game/FPS phase, and still am. Something about that game that takes my mind away from shooters.

  37. TokoTurismo

    About that city area that was in GT5’s main menu screen. Is that possibly coming to GT6 too? Because it’ll be a perfect free roam track for a new GT Life mode and what Kaz wanted it to be. :)

    1. KYD302

      Yeah it would be sweet. A free roam area would be awesome an to have an individual server for it that can support 100 players in it at one time would be even better so you can hang with all your friends an not just 15 of them an for car clubs it would be even better i hope PD can take some of Tourist Trophy and add into the game as well, There are people like myself who prefer two wheels to four. you haven’t ever gone fast until you’ve hit 180mph on a bike completely different from being in a car plus bikes are alot of fun. and if they could put Mount Akina from Initial D into the free roam that would be sweet.

  38. Canis

    Unless they make a heaping load of premium cars and no SD cars, I won’t be too hyped over GT6.. GT5 had potential to deliver so much, and they didn’t give us all that is ON the game. Just take the photo travel scenes with your own car in it in the main menu for example. Good few places there we can’t actually take pics of our cars in. Or that wind tunnel which obviously is on the game disk ssomewhere but we’re not allowed to get at it. Or even the runway at the RedBull Hangar which was revealed in the initial trailer for GT5 to begin with. Such a disappointing game to the keen eye.

  39. lator-illa

    Meh who cares. So many promises…so many unfulfilled. They need to fix the sound, otherwise, even with all the tracks it would still not be immersive

    1. HuskyGT

      Sound doesn’t get fixed with a sub woofer. TV speakers or $10,000 suround system, the sound is still the same. Terribly unaccurate in some case.

      By getting a sub woofer, you’ll not make the Saleen S7 sound like a V8 again.

  40. gman1647

    Someone buy Kaz and crew a ticket to Elkart Lake, WI. The best race track in American should be in GT6.

  41. rjcraft16

    i wished gt5 had only cars, tracks, photo mode, and online mode then they could do so much more to the game and the car upgrade/customization system, i don’t care about making a track a spec and b spec are enough, i like simplicity

    1. HuskyGT

      Nah, that wouldn’t happen. That would make the game unplayable for thousands, thus it would hurt sales tremendously.

  42. Drevenger

    First time I see a credible mention of GT6.
    I think we are still at least 2-3 years away so ima wait before getting a hat.

  43. Kratos_Q8

    what GT6 rly need is :
    – improve AI
    – event creator
    – better track creator
    – more premium cars

    that will make the game content infinit

    1. wallpaper42

      Also they need to find more ways of taking out the grind. Seasonal events helped but it’s still there.

  44. GTP_Versatile

    Multiple tracks or just multiple layouts… Hence the Forward/Reverse = 2 tracks… Weather/no weather = another 2 tracks.. you get the idea.

  45. recca

    GT6 hype train..all aboard!!! they better have this planned for ps4 otherwise it seems liek it’s going to be pretty pointless, regardless of what system it’s on i’ll probably buy it but it would make a much bigger impact if they launch it with ps4..for sony’s sake at least

    the ps3 can barely handle GT5 with all teh screen tearing and such, i don’t see how it can be made to look visually better without some more compromises

  46. Hentis

    This may well be true but being a pessimistic old git, ok 42 ain’t that old but personally speaking I’d rather wait for the official Sony or Kaz release then read all the fall out on here to be honest.
    Still if it s true then it’s kinda good news. So GT6 for June next year then to be pushed back till the release of the PS4 in 2015 then?
    Ooh did I say something I shouldn’t :)

  47. XPLOSV

    It had better. The GT5 inclusions were very disappointing. I am definitely switching to Forza if GT6 doesnt have a substantial increase in real world tracks and cars (ideally, more historic race and rally cars as Forza does).

    1. Dekropttiv

      I own forza and it only has I think 2 rally cars and they’re both dlc. I think they have around the same amount of historic race cars.

  48. HuskyGT

    Not worth crap. Rumors will always be rumors, even if they come from PD itself.

    They said many things about GT5…

    GT6 hasn’t even been “oficially” confirmed by PD or Sony, other than the typical “We are already working on it…” that we get after each release.

    1. HuskyGT

      Which it is the confirmation that we always get after a new release.

      First is the confirmation of development, then the official announce. But even after official annouces with publicity, trailers, pictures and reveal of content, years could pass until we see it. Even with that said, many things are left behind or changed.

      So this basically means nothing.

  49. HKS racer

    I rember all the BS about GT5 in pre-release era. Need some proofs about all these tracks now.

    Oh and you better don’t count track variations as “new tracks” or I’ll LOL at you, PD.

  50. ChicoMaloXD

    I hope the vast majority of them are real life tracks. Especially to represent real life’s race series.
    If they put the same fantasy tracks from previous GT games, that will only show how the GT franchise is gonna be stuck for years to come and will not innovate in any way.

    If players feel like goin back in time, just boot up GT4 or any previous GT and enjoy those nostalgic tracks.

  51. outtanames

    Until GT5, you guys should check on Project Cars, it’s several levels above GT in almost every aspect.

    1. another_jakhole

      I was hoping it’d be greater at this, but hell no. It’s only an opinion right now. I enjoy it as a whole, but something makes it feel like a hassle to play. “Le Mans” is measured horrifically. I’m hoping after each update that they tweak the real world circuits.

    2. another_jakhole

      *greater than this,

      —-
      It does do a lot of things much better than GT5, I should be clear.

    3. Dekropttiv

      If I’m not wrong, that’s a PC game right? Generally PC game are far better than any console game, so I don’t really think its a fair comparison. I’ve heard good things about that game though.

  52. sangdude82

    May be PD is bringing all the tracks back from previous GT games & will add new tracks on GT6 :D
    I can’t wait for Bathurst!!!

  53. Pugxsi

    Lots of tracks from past gts, a larger variety of cars like european and american classics, make the career mode longer, lots more races and don’t stop xp at level 40. I got to this at only 75% game completion
    If gt6 is on ps3, take it to the limit of its ability
    And bring back nitros

  54. drummermaniac

    Lots of tracks , that´s music to my ears .
    I hope that PD includes a Livery Editor in GT6 too.

    1. w115ter

      I don’t agree with you’re livery editor idea , c’mon we all know how that plays out , maybe a skin change so we can have teams not featured in GT , only problem would be wheels

    2. MuoNiuLa

      A livery editor in other games doesn’t cause any major problems. You’re always going to have people who abuse features. That’s not a good reason to leave things out.

    3. w115ter

      sorry MuoNiuLa but that is the only reason why it should be left out , its not only adults who play GT , im not big into photo mode but have shared a pic to see if it got on GT site , it appeared within 2 minutes ,

  55. Foxiol

    I was trying other simulators and other racing games and also waiting for some as GTR3 or Assetto Corsa.

    And i must say that GT6 better have proper suspension physics and G forces applied into the car at least as Auto Club Revolution because i was playing and i am still playing it (it is free on PC) and i must say that the physics are amazing.

    Most of my friends play iRacing and rFactor as well and we have a debate and we try every game in the market (NetKar Pro is one of the best talking about overall physics in the genre) and about ACR we all are agree that this game is incredible in that matter. One of the best suspension model but not as good as the best simulators of course but still is quite realistic and feels incredible with high end wheels from G25/27 (as mine) and above. Even Better with a T500RS.

    And as a fan of GT series PD must work with this because by now is going down in some aspects of simulation that are important for the overall feeling of the car.

    I was impressed this whole week with this game actually and just have to share this with you guys.

    Glad to hear about GT6 and some more thinks that Lucas said about realism and stuff. So be ready because hopefully GT6 is going to have proper model in some areas that in GT5 feels wrong or missed at a some point.

    1. smskeeter23

      And you’ll no doubt get them. They’ll all say GTR on then, but you will get more cars o_O

    1. mustangfan663

      It probably will be on ps3 because gt 1 and 2 where on ps1 gt 3 and 4 where on ps2 so gt 5 and 6 on ps3

  56. Turbo_3800

    I’d like to see the original fantasy tracks also, but in their original goodness with GT5 graphics. I was disappointed with the “Rome circuit”, it’s an ok track but I was really expecting the GT2 “Rome” track……We should petition for a new “Seattle” course or atleast the same track with higher resolution lol…..Maybe I’ll keep dreaming lol

  57. TokoTurismo

    But I also believe what the others say not to get hyped with this, so I’m getting hyped either.

  58. w115ter

    I hope the gun-sai cycle track appears in GT6 . So they got loads of tracks , maybe GT6 will have races that have the proper region specific tracks ,

    1. Blood*Specter

      You have to think they know what tracks are fav to most players. Also have to think more real life circuits are priority.
      That along with updating the cars to all premeum. Would still love to see the original SSR11.

      ButI’d take Imola over SSR11 in a New York City micro second…….LOL

  59. FlexBlur

    It’s good to have various environments like we’ve seen in GT5, I guess. Why not gathering all the “Clubman/Special Stage Routes” in GT6?
    Also, one of the brightest ideas would be to STOP making more and more cars. I don’t care about 1000 cars when I’ll only drive 200 or 300. I think that Polyphony Digital should care more about the QUALITY rather than the quantity, because I’m so fed up with buying dozens of MX-5, RX-7, NSX, Skylines that are more or less the same, just to fill my garage.
    Cars are great. Dozens of same cars are not.

  60. TokoTurismo

    Yas Marina Circuit, Pikes Peak and Bathurst anyone? Along with more other tracks that was on one of the workers computer at PD? There were dozens of tracks on that thing that didn’t make it to GT5, so that means they maybe coming to GT6 instead. :)

  61. mobiletone

    until i see it finished and on the shelf then i’m not getting hyped for this. had too much BS with GT5 to care anymore and i’ve played the series since PSX days. went over to the ‘other’ car game last year and haven’t looked back since. both great games but GT has got stale.

  62. Zyo2008

    I really hope GT6 includes a lot of classic fantasy tracks from the old gran turismos, but for this new one i dont really care for now fantasy tracks, i rather have them introduce more real tracks

  63. Rocket Racer

    More new tracks would be great indeed, hope this is not only a rumour. I´m already looking forward to Bathurst that much… :)

  64. SHIRAKAWA Akira

    My point is: GT5 sold a lot because of the hype generated (also thanks to inaccurate and misleading information), to me iit seems they’re doing it again.

  65. SHIRAKAWA Akira

    Here are some quotes about the number of tracks that should have been in GT5 – please note that some of the links might not be active anymore:

    “More than 40 tracks with over 100 layouts (including all versions of Nurburgring – which nobody’s ever done before). That enough for you? :)”
    http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/06/18/a-chat-with-kazunori-yamauchi-creator-of-gran-turismo/

    “As we were the first session and had a slight overrun, Kazunori couldn’t take many questions. However, he was able to confirm that the number of unique courses available in the game is “more than 70″”
    http://www.gtplanet.net/gamescom-gran-turismo-5-breakout-session-full-details/

    “Gamers may choose from over 60 circuits including the newly added Tuscany, Madrid, Rome and Indianapolis tracks.”
    http://www.motortrend.com/features/consumer/1009_gran_turismo_5/cars_and_tracks.html

    “GT5 propose plus de 1000 voitures dont les plus puissantes jamais produites, près de 150 circuits et une experience de la course auto comme vous ne l’avez jamais vécue !”
    http://www.parisgamesweek.com/jeux/gran-turismo-5

    (Room299 Press Event) “[…] 100 tracks in total. […]”

  66. offib

    That’s good to know but, it’s GT6, it has to have more of everything. That’s the expectation.

    1. Jordan

      No, just because I report on a rumor here does not make it true. I collect GT news and rumors and try to put them in context, that’s all.

  67. Maddens Raiders

    This is great news, I just wish there were a way for PD to remove serial complainers from the “game” & GTP.

    1. JasonMann

      I hope it’s not on PlayStation 3, because GT5 is pushing this console close to its limits to play this game. If they plan on adding in more detail and improve the driving experience, it needs to be on PlayStation 4, the outdated Nvidia RSX in the PlayStation 3 simply cannot handle rendering a hopefully more detailed game. The PlayStation 3 already struggles to run GT5 at 60FPS, and has dips to below 30FPS. It would only seem right to release a game such as GT6 on a more powerful platform, so that they can have more overhead and not worry about frame dips.

  68. Madman Apex

    are they going to all be unique individual tracks… or does the count include reverses and varients of the same track??

  69. SpookyVenom1

    Rumors can keep coming in, and they can give a hint on what could happen. But I know to not get too excited over rumors since they could easily be false. I will wait for official news on this before getting excited. But still, we could use more tracks here, especially the classic tracks from older games

    1. Blank_Redge

      …uh… wat? o_O

      Didn’t PD **JUST** release Twin Ring Motegi, and a free Scion download after GT Academy ended?

      Honestly, there’s just no pleasing some of you people.
