Gran Turismo 6 Update 1.10 Brings Two New Vision GT Cars

aston-martin-dp-100

A new update for Gran Turismo 6 has gone live, and brings with it two highly anticipated Vision GT project cars from Aston Martin and Nissan. Here’s a closer look at what’s new in 1.10, now available worldwide as a free 2.1GB download:

Aston Martin DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo

The new car can be purchased in the Vision GT section of GT6, or you can win it in a new Seasonal Event, available for a limited time. The car is powered by a twin-turbo, mid-engined V12 which produces 800 BHP.

“NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo”

Nissan’s radical Vision GT car focused on aerodynamics, and – despite its aggressive appearance – actually contains a 2+2 seating arrangement inside. The powertrain utilizes a high performance hybrid FR-4WD system with a V6 twin turbo engine, combined with 3 electric motors.

Brake Caliper Paint

It is now possible to repaint the brake calipers on cars equipped with [Racing Brakes] purchased within the [Suspension] menu of [Tuning Parts]. Please note there are certain cars that cannot be repainted using this feature.

More Car Number Customization Options

More cars have been made compatible with the [Driver Number] feature in the [Garage]. There is also an increased selection of [Base] sheet designs on which the numbers can be displayed.

Engine brake reduction control on formula cars disabled

Engine brake reduction control that was active on certain formula cars has been disabled. This is a feature that helps you avoid spinning out from excessive braking forces generated by the engine while the throttle is in the off position. This was accomplished by slightly opening the throttle while cornering even with no input to the accelerator.

Other Changes?

As always, our community is already busy inspecting the latest update for any and all changes which were not mentioned in the official release notes. See you in the forums!

    I wish the Aston had the Gulf Racing colors (light blue and Orange). I do think GT6 needs a livery editor or at least a secondary paint color. Also if GT6 had a livery editor would it only be for the premium cars?

  2. celtiscorpion73

    Haven’t really had time to play since the update. I like the caliper paint option and I’m really hoping for more cosmetic options to make the cars more appealing in some cases, or just to have a better reflection of what we like on our vehicles to “trick them out”.

    Hi I found this post from PlayStation Forum posted by

    Hopes this help.

    Update 1.10 Multi-Monitor
    WyldAnimal_ WyldAnimal_ Wastelander
    Jul 27

    Since the Other Thread got Trashed and Locked
    I wanted to report on this.

    Today when I started GT6 there was a HOT FIX to Download and install.
    I thought Woo Wee. they Patched it…

    But No, it made it worse…

    Now, I can’t get to the PS menu at all on the Clients after they Black Screen.
    I have to do a Power down of the PS3..

    I did manage to find a slight work around. Similar to what I reported before..

    Leave the Clients on the XMB screen
    Start the Server and enter a Seasonal or other event.
    Once your Car is On Track, Pause it.

    Now Start GT6 on the Clients, and Initiate Multi Monitor.
    The Screens will go black, but eventually the Track will show up..

    Now you can unpause and do the event with Multi Monitor.

    *** To Re-start or Change Events..

    Pause the Current event and Press Circle on the Clients to exit to the Main GT6 screen.
    ( if you have crossed the finish line, Then Imediatly press Circle on Both Clients. Do this before the screens go black. )

    now on the server you can re-start or switch to a new event..

    Once on Track, pause it..

    On the Clients Go to Options, Display, Multi-Monitor, Start, Initiate OK
    wait for the Clients to display the Track.

    Race and enjoy..

    I’ve been able to do this repeatdly, but if I didn’t press Circle in time and the Black Screen shows up.
    I have to Power off that client to get it back on.

    So Press Circle on the Clients before you get the black screen at the end of an Event..

    Looking forward to PD, fixing this..

    This update broke the multi-screen. It works the first time but when you restart the race the two sides screens black and you can’t get out. You have too shut down by pressing the button to shut down after that you go through the process “the system was no turn off properly the last time It was used”. looks like the side client screens never release the IP address that connect to the server. I’ve tried to setup network manually with static I addresses for all three screen. But it’s still not working.

    PD Please fix this issue

    1. Mad Marty

      Dear POLYPHONY DIGITAL, if you read this: please fix the post-1.10-update heavily damaged multi monitor support. What good are two more futuristic looking vehicles I will never drive when I am since deprived of one of the “most awesomest” features (Multi-Monitor) your prestigious piece of software has to offer?
      And while you’re at it: you gave me calipers to paint but you took my friends away. The online lobbies are deserted and I can’t find my online buddies anymore. Where did it all go wrong? One week ago with those vicious numbers 1.10. Please hurry!

  5. Zero7159

    I generally like the update, but for whatever reason, my triple screen set up no longer works. This update has borked multi-monitor support. I hope PD patches it soon, I love triple screen GT6 action!

    1. MLRSparco

      Lol well this update really wasn’t anything special, I would rather see them release the most liked cars in the suggestion forum than these concepts that you use for a few days then never drive again.

  6. blkpig

    I’m glad so many have been able to get this update,but the fact is so many still have install problems. It’s not the internet not the PS3 it’s the update data. I myself had never had a problem since gt6 came out with updates. That is until 1.10 which like others does not want to install. Sure I jumped through Sonys hoops I uninstalled over 18gbs of game data purged system and still no results their idea?? Send my PS3 to them! C’mon man been at this for 3 DAYS and out of the many in my racing circle only one person got the update installed. More slaps to the face I love it Thanks sony Thanks pd Y’all made my copy useless as it won’t play without updates now.

    1. SZRT Ice

      Only thing I can suggest is that you try going under “Game Data Utility”, delete the GT6 1.10 version update, and try it again from scratch. Understand these 2 things however…

      1: Your Career progress and everything else will be fine. That is located in a different location under “Save Data Utility”. What you want is “Game Data Utility” which is 3 notches above the “Save Data Utility”.

      2: You will have to do a complete re-installation of the data off of the GT6 Game Disk and any updates released up to 1.10. The Game Data file is currently 11GB, of which how many are off of the disk and how many are from the internet I am uncertain. If you have data limits/internet usage restrictions, you may want to consider waiting for your next monthly internet cycle to begin…

    2. blkpig

      To SZRT: Yeah I know about that thanks have done it a few times now even did a few hard resets of the playstation. Internet has no limits and is high speed. Haha my service provider thinks it’s pretty funny that sony tried to blame my internet, the guy stayed on the phone with me for 3hrs watching my signal and it never dropped. And my game data weighs in at 18gb not 11. But thanks for the consideration only it’s been done and past many times mate and because we are prompted to download 1.10 b4 you can fully install v1-1.09 it renders GT6 usless. And I don’t have to worry of free space I have plenty,bottom line there is a fault in the data and needs to be addressed I know I’m not the only one with this issue as I’ve been talkin with players through the network and it’s the same from cali to germany to brazil it’s the same.

    3. kollosson

      That’s very strange, my update came straight down the pipe no problem, probably took 10/15 minutes then another 10 or so minutes to install, no one I know has had a problem, wonder if it is a regional thing, doesn’t really make sense ???

  7. toospiciecc

    What about Plain Bodied Cars,can’t they so get Custom Numbers as well?
    What about Custom Livery for Plain Bodied Race cars?

  8. tube chaser

    Damn you PD! Enough with these pointless and incomplete updates – when are we getting heists??

  9. sind3ntosca

    I just bought GT6… so i have to download all the updates from 1.01 to 1.10 …it say i need 3GB more space… so i cleaned up my PS3 HDD, i got around 13GB… try to download again, then still need more space… what? so i cleaned about 14GB then it start downloading.

    WOW! Hahahaha… i gues that they need double space to download and then install the update. The first update and the last one, failed… my internet connection is just bad. So i use PS3 Proxy Server GUI to download the update on my PC using Orbit downloader, and then download the update data from PC and install it on PS3… it’s like Magic hahahaha…

    You guys should try it, if u have bad internet connection :) Good Luck!

    1. SZRT Ice

      General consensus suggests a minimum of 10-15 GBs of free space on your PS3 and PC for operational purposes. You never want to be down to your last Gig of space while running your PS3. The PS3 uses a SATA 2.5″ laptop/notebook internal HDD. Mine is a Seagate Momentus 640GB drive that runs at 5400rpm purchased at best buy for less than $100 at the time of purchase (you can also find them in many computer stores or online at a cheaper price). I believe solid state drives access data faster and are compatible as well, but I have yet to purchase/try one as my 640GB does the job well enough.

    1. infamousphil

      Two-tone paint jobs? Yuck! That’s why I dislike the Veyrons so much. I’d be happy with racing stripes though.

    2. SZRT Ice

      The problem is, many two toned paint jobs aren’t colors that go well together or stand out in a good way. But if you were able to choose the colors yourself, you can make the colors as similar or as different as you please. It’s something for everyone, not just you. And the option for you to keep your cars a single color will always be available to you.

    3. infamousphil

      Out of respect for Chikane’s post, I’ll say the DP100’s color schemes are pretty decent… I haven’t chosen one yet.

      It would be nice if GT’s play with paint chips didn’t get in the way of having more color choices for AM’s concept car. The placement of the colors (striping) does a wonderful job of highlighting the cars lines.

      Painting the bottom half, or a fender or two, of a car a different color as opposed to accentuating or striping is what I was getting at. ‘Two-tone’ is the term that I used to describe what you were referring to, Ice. I apologize if I mis-interpreted what you said. But it brought to mind those gaudy 70’s schemes… from AMC Pacers to Fleetwood Cadillacs. I never got used to them.

      We all… and PD too, would be ecstatic if and when ‘free-hand’ paint guns become a reality in GT ;)

  10. SZRT Ice

    Happiest for the brake caliper paint option. Shows they’re moving forward with additional customization options. Here’s hoping they do the same for sideskirts, fenders, spoilers, carbon hoods, and additional aero parts as well. It would also fare well if they included a secondary paint option, so cars like the DP-100, Veyron, Chevelle, Cuda, Viper, etc. could have optional secondary colors/stripes of our choosing. Should be possible in GT6 if nothing more on the customization front.

  11. leigh991

    PD needs to add a whole lot more of career mode races…like for example something in between 650-700pp road cars…Idk why but they should

  12. BHalpen

    2+ gb is ridiculous for add on content. My terrible connection says 500 minutes to download (10hrs, lol). How come they’re making the files so large? When I can have entire digital games like LittleBigPlanet that are 2gbs? After 30% and 3hrs later I’m disconnected. Already called Bell to send a tech out for tomorrow.

  13. Makkan786

    Is any1 having problems installing gt6 i cant even start the game its stuk on install screen then goes to error

  14. infamousphil

    No mention of it seen here by yours truely…

    Rotisserie views added in Driver Number, Custom Parts and Paint menus. Nice touches, especially when I wanna oogle the whips… but 2+ gigs? Are these guys preloading updates for later usage?

    1. TheProRacer

      Yes, usually the updates contain inaccessible content that in to be ‘unlocked’ in the later update.

  15. xirage faith

    Kinda dipped my mood when I realized Nissan VGT sounds the same as the GT3 Godzilla, really? Aston’s good, but I really don’t see an effort in the sound, 0/100. Despite all this, really appreciate PD for rolling out free contents. Grade A for intentions.

  16. wudy201

    The Astons color options and choices really reminded me of the Mercedes vision. Kind of a futuristic /Tron inspired colors I wish the patterns were a little different for the Aston. The Nissan though I was dissapointed in other then the matte,carbon and the lava color I felt like they were just the typical usual Nissan colors like the GTR has and every other Nissan and to me there just boring, same silver, grey, blue, red and dark purple variations all dark and something about them just bores me. Im more for the Ford, Dodge muscle car, lotus, tvr and lambo.

  17. kollosson

    @vr6cas I had the same problem, couldn’t decide on the colour of either car, I eventually opted for plain silver for the Aston. I went for red on the Nissan but I’m the same as you, gonna have to have a couple more of each car, I think the white, black and orange Aston looks great. Watching the video’s makes you realise how GT is held in such high regard by these companies and is still THE premier racing game, roll on GT7.

    1. vr6cas

      +1@kollosson, I agree…I’m also going to experiment with painting the car I have now, the green with the bronze wheels, I didn’t paint it yet but I looked at it in black raven black and it looked good, especially with those bronze wheels.

  18. toospiciecc

    I’m happy for new update but I can’t put numbers on Plain Bodied Racecars and I STILL CAN’T GET BRANDS HATCH GP WORKING!!!!!!!(only the 80’s and Indy circuits)
    BLOODY POLYPHONY!!!!

    1. Aussie_HSV

      Yeh, good call.
      99.99% of people have no issue with with that track.
      So clearly the problem isn’t at your end.
      Damn you PD.

    1. Tenacious D

      I’m sure they’ll notice and be sad lol.

      *steps around all the grinching* In any case, I’m looking forward to these cars – the Nissan, finally, as well as whatever is lurking in the rest of the download. Kaz’s birthday is the day after mine, so I’m hoping for a late present.

      Another thing I’m hoping is a foretaste of good things to come are the new base model cars, which will be the foundation, hopefully, of the Livery Editor many of us are begging for. Race Mod for many, many cars, a Livery Editor which can paint over many, many cars, the Course Maker and an Event Maker would give GT6 replay value till the next GT comes along. Sure, some of that may not happen till GT7, but let’s hope the real Gran Turismo we’ve wanted shows up soon.

  19. OpticZero

    Just watched the Aston Martin video. I’d bet that the designers, especially the colors and materials designer, are super pissed about PD not putting in the interior. It’s in the freeking video, for cryin’ out loud!!! Does anyone have any insight as to why they are leaving out the interiors of the Vision GT cars? @Jordan ???

    1. Magic Ayrton

      The Nissan sunny engine note that they added to the Aston Martin is far more of an insult.. while the Nissan sounds pretty good.. hmm PD…

    2. wudy201

      wouldnt you think both sides are fully aware of whats going to happen before a pencil is ever even picked up Especially from Aston as what ends up in the game is a reflextion of them and there brand so id be sure that they had to of agreed and been ok and most of all fully aware of what the final in game product was going to be because otherwise id bet if they did not like it they would have pulled out of vision. You really believe that it went down with Aston making an interior and when final product was handed ovr to PD PD thought oh an inerior I don’t think we are going to put it in the game, an after seeing the finished project Aston was yelling aw PD pulled one over on us and didnt put the interor in the game that we worked so hard on I had no idea. Im not being a jerk or dissing you just my thought I think that the interior is shown becuse the video is showing the whoe process happening on Astons side and if the did make a full scale version of the car Id be sure it has an interior just like if you see the Jay Lenos garage episode where he features the first mercedes vison full scale car Im almost certain the interor is shown when they are doing that segment.

    3. PIGBOY

      these cars will never get anywhere near production so why do an interior that might require more download time and size

  20. Magic Ayrton

    The brake caliper paint is such a simple yet great idea.. now if we could just get a tool to enable us to fill out those wheel arches I would be over the moon.

  21. gt3_racer05

    I just hopped back to GT6 cause of this. Aston looks “sad” on the front while Nissan is futuristic, both are gonna be awesome

  22. speeeyskells

    there has been a hotfix to sort out the online issue so everyone is now safe to go back online

  23. Scaniabebe

    The new cars are nice, but what’s not so nice is the fact that we cannot browse for Rooms to play in on Multiplayer. Basically making the game useless to me (I almost never use Single Player because the AI are so slooooooooooooooow)…

  24. SamZilla097

    2 GB for 2 cars and some minor features?? I don’t believe that’s all. Perhaps, we got something (like a new track) that will be released in another update…

  25. Playseatplanted

    These cars are great and all but am I crazy…or stoned? Wasn’t gt6 supposed to have some awesome customisation features? I swear I read that somewhere and was so hoping. even a handful of little things like two-tone paint jobs, diff tire sizes for F/R (raked muscle anyone?) and
    Maybe a FEW more aero kits for tooners gt6 seems like their are less options than in 5! Most(all?) 90’s tuners have lost all after market support it seems WTF? And Im querious if certain model years have more “kit” than others but I’m not about to by 20 rx-7’s or skyline’s or silvias just to find out NOPE we just stripped a very limited feature to begin with…a little more!

    On a lighter note I’m really really querious about what the Jordan brand will come up with in VGT. I know they use vehicles for inspiration on their shoes so too see what a non car designer does will be interesting! Also will their be a shoe release to coincide with it? You can bet on it!

    1. wudy201

      I with you on the customizing it seems like there is les options for most cars bust it also seems like a lot more cars you cant touch at all even paint and wheels. Also I think ive only found a couple cars that use the very bottom customizing option I forget what its called but I was wondering what cars use it I think I found it changed mirrors and something with the rear window on the Aventador cant remember about the Reventon, but also the Trans Am was one I think it did some kind of rear window cover and I think Ive foud 1 or 2 other cars where it changed mirrors but has anybody really looked into it and see what cars its avalable on and what all it does other than mirrors and window visors/covers. Also I would really like an option to choose the exaust like single/ dual different tip options and I liked the option like NFS and Midnight LA gamehad that allowed you to move the exaust from rear to the side on the old muscle cars. The customizing is oneof the things that drew m to try Forza and yes I do like both Forza and GT I dont compare I just really like that type of racing sims/games.

    1. OpticZero

      They need to update all of them, but for the VW. I’m sure they would have left that one out too, except that VW made it topless. I’m sure that ticked PD off. Let’s hope for more drop-tops in more Vision GT cars just so they are forced to create the interior for it.

  26. leeislee

    To whoever can send the boffins at PD a message…Tell them to stop with the huge HD videos included with the vision updates…they’re too big and take up too much space.

    Just include a link or something so we can watch them without clogging up the PS3 with all kinds of crap.

    1. Gallade4751

      they added more than hd videos… They Also added Data for Circuito De La Sierra and the Alfa Romeo VGT

  27. JKgo

    Nice updates, PDI….VGTs are always cool to have, no matter how fugly they are.And the thing about Zahara? Can’t wait. Although my PS3 is beginning to give up the ghost…intermittently freezing/crashing not only on GT but on my other games too. Sigh.
    If my console dies before this game is complete, then I might as well wait for GT5+GT6 PS4 edition that is no doubt coming next year…hmmmmm….

  28. Heathenpride

    Gotta love PSN+. Arrive home after reading about all the lengthy delays in downloading and mine’s already done and ready to go :)

  29. Amac500

    Apparently the Alfa Romeo VGT is also hidden in the game after the update in the game like Zahara is. That’s my most anticipated VGT of the cars previewed at release!

    1. Whistle Snap

      The car itself isn’t in the game but the team information, menu stuff, etc. has been added, when this is added the cars usually follow in the next update like the BMW, Aston Martin for example.

      Alfa Romeo and Subaru (which was added with Aston Martin in 1.09) are likely to be the next Vision cars released.

  30. Colquhoun_4

    Does anyone know how to use the hybrid power for the Nissan Vision GT? There’s a gauge and everything…thought it might by the Nitro control but no luck.

    1. Amac500

      I believe it’s KERs energy recovery but I could be wrong, idk if there is any contradicting information.

  31. Benny44

    Excellent update. Hope you are right SZRT Ice! Can’t see any other reason this update is so huge. Even though it isn’t the popular opinion around here, it really does seem like PD is working very hard. The game may not be perfect but it is far and away the best sim racer on a console, and for that I say thank you. Now as for Zahara….really really want to drive there! Hopefully we will see it soon

    1. Benny44

      Yep I agree…looks like this is how the new super cars will look. I assume this is all for aerodynamic reasons, and not aesthetics.

    Jul. 25, 11:14am

    “The Spanish track is definitely still coming…”

    I’m guessing you heard about the the “Circuito de la Sierra” track being found in the database. Any chance you can make a news article about it considering you did a news article on the rumored Isle of Man TT?

    Or…

    Do you already know something more about it that we don’t know and keeping quiet intentionally? Have you received confirmed info of it’s release from PD?

    Hmm?… o_O?

    You can tell me… I won’t tell anyone… : )

    1. Johnnypenso

      No can do Ice…can’t make a news article about something found through hacking into the game database.

    2. SZRT Ice

      Awws… Well thanks for the clarification JP. Well, here’s hoping Jordan has some “straight from the horses mouth” info to share with us coming soon!

  33. SpawnBlack

    If people are still having trouble going online. Create a room and send the Room Number to your friends and they can join that way. If you’ve got no friends then sorry for ya! GT and Kaz….sort it out of scrap the game and we’ll gladly wait for GT7 on ps4. I think I’ll buy Grid Auto Sport to get my fix thanks.

    1. Makkan786

      This also doesnt work i have tried entering code but couldnt enter my friends lobby very annoying

    2. SpawnBlack

      I don’t know what to tell you then Mark. This game has been a pain since it was released. Hopefully it will be fixed sometime over the weekend.

    3. SpawnBlack

      Totally ridiculous. I had a championship to do tonight and this is what we get. I’m quite sure they could have tested this on the live servers with to check if it was working properly. And check with at least 5 PS3’s all different GB size and model type to see if things would be affected. I just hope when GT7 is released it has all the cars in the game already without having to dl updates over the course of it’s life. I’ve had to delete games I’ve downloaded for this update and this is what they give us.

      End Of Line

    4. vicgtr

      To find your friends room, that is if it isn’t on “friends only”, just do manual search, narrowing it down by track and others if possible. Then search, …….. pain in the butt, but it works.

  34. ConRollins

    Hold on people! It took God seven days to create all we know and this is a whole lot more complicated than all of everything!

  35. infamousphil

    LOL…on the road and missing nothing ;)

    Welcome to the world of GT. Anoyone been in the world long enough to remember Sony’s late, great ‘BetaMax’ fail. These guys are pure geniuses!

    See ya on the up side.

  36. ConRollins

    Speaking of the room number, exactly where can I find it in the room so I can broadcast it to
    people so they can join?

  37. KlubbinJay

    WTF happend with the open-lobbies?!??! I cant see anyone….i even cant get into the room/lobby with one of my friends.

    NICE DONE IDIOTIC DEVS!!!! NICE UPDATES….U FAILED AGAIN, RETARDS!!!!

    1. KlubbinJay

      @Raweer i dont think thats the problem. I think it has something to do with a bug inside the last update.

      And @Daveracer67 are you drunk? I dont see anything when i want to enter a lobby.

  38. zack Crawford

    I don’t like the new update because I cannot find any of them online anymore when iGo to open up and all I see are nothing everything’s going to stuff it

    1. HuskyGT

      Same problem. But then I remembered that the yesterday I know the code hamburger. Good everything.

  39. super_gt

    Anyone noticed this:
    Engine brake reduction control on formula cars disabled
    We have disabled the engine brake reduction control that was active on certain formula cars. (This is a feature that helps you avoid spinning out from excessive braking forces generated by the engine while the throttle is in the off position. This was accomplished by slightly opening the throttle while cornering even with no input to the accelerator.)

    I wonder is there more such things that ”protect” us from spinning out,and why we need such things when there is Active steering to prevent us from spinning out?
    And why there is no Option to turn all undocumented help OFF?

    1. Johnnypenso

      I did find that kind of surprising myself. Another side of it is, it would be nice for some of the less experienced drivers to have this as an optional driving aid on all cars.

    2. super_gt

      @Johnnypenso you’re right for the less experienced drivers they need help.
      But for us there should be Option to turn off all undocumented help!
      My problem is that there is no such option.

    Hey guys I notice that the new 1.09 update screwed up most of my SSRX top speed tunes my Alfa romeo can only hit 304 alone and not 305 and with nos i hit 316 and not 320 with my 2009 honda insight i used to hit 174 alone and now i hit 161 and with draft it USED to hit 220 with draft now i cant even hit 190 -_- is it just me or is anyone else noticed that??

  41. Lambob

    nice Seasonal race using Aston VGT at 70% pp on the Nurburgring GP. prepare to be rammed by autistic AI (McLaren and Zonda, 2nd and 3rd) at every lap. Good job PD on that professional GPS datalogging technology you clearly need to show these AI some respectable manners in racing.

  42. vr6cas

    Am I the only one having a hard time trying to choose which color Aston Martin DP-100 VGT to pick, I mean they all look great and have slight differences to them, I spent literally like ten minutes trying to pick, lol. Even the Windows have a slight color tint to them. This will be the first VGT that I will probably have three or four of them in different colors. After the super lap, my first color choice was the Alloro Green without the yellow stripes, I think the bronze colored wheels did for me!

    1. Lambofanghini

      I know what you’re talking about!! My wife had to help me pick out mine. They we’re all so beautiful to look at, and those copper colored rims on the green version, sweet! We settled for liquid silver.

    I keep getting the connection to server issue. Funny because at this moment I am playing DUST 514 which requires an online connection and it is running fine as of now. So if it is not on my end that means the server could be down on their end?

  44. wudy201

    my ps3 is saying 10mbps and I just downloaded the update and am playing it right now and its been 13min. mabey some people should replace the wiring in the house becuse I have the same comcast Internet for ever I dont even know how long, longer than I had a PS3 and I rewired all new cat and rg cable and my downloads from the ps store have been cut down by more tha half. Any game used to take at least 8+ hours so I downloaded when I slept and now pretty much every game ive dowloaded since its done in 1 – 1 1/2 hrs just the damn install seems so long now. Just a thought for some who say they have these crazy long download times. Anyway it helped me alot because I was ready to call and see what kind of changes to the internet packages I could make to speed thngs up and Its not worth the price as comcast is a huge ripoff as is. I feel for all you as I had the same problem and it sucks knowing it could be a day or more until you even can start to play.

  45. retro77king

    finding no online rooms whatsoever was bad enough now i can’t even select my own options i want when i open my own room, hurry up kaz this is pissing me off

  46. Djwess

    I’m getting a constant error on the update part at the warning part of start-up everytime I get to about 7 seconds the game decides you have a error on download. I also think it is BS saying we will continue where the error was at.

    1. HuskyGT

      I have around 30mbps here, but I share the internet between a PC, a Mac, three laptops, three iPhones, a Galaxy, an Xbox and two PS3. It took me around 40 minutes to download. You should be alright.

    2. Hastatus

      I started the download, went out to cut the lawn, and come back with it still downloading. XP I do not mind big downloads though because it usually means something of quality is hiding inside. XD

  47. vasilescui79

    Can’t wait to see this designs influence the real life cars. GT series will leave a mark on car history.

    1. Izzyracer97

      the Aston doesn’t even look like an Aston it looks like a fish at least the Nissan has style it looks like a fighter jet

  48. Izzyracer97

    cool cars I like the Nissan better though it is just nicer to look at have not driven either yet so hopefully they both live up to what has been projected

  49. Nato_777

    I wouldn’t mind the long download times of a big update if it didn’t stop with an error after 3 hours and with 5% left to go and then have to start all over again from scratch. How hard can it be to have a system that at least creates save points periodically during the download from where you can continue from if an error occurs. Having to re-download the same 2gig I just did is infuriating and eats into my data limit!

    1. AidenNewman888

      I just had the same problem Nathan. Really frustrating everytime an error occurs, but most of the time the second attempt works. Fingers crossed

    If that Datsun went any slower, I would be able to travel back in time and warn Harold Holt to wear floats.

      ‘… disappeared while swimming of the coast…’ lol, I get it ;) hahaha…

      No seriously, I’m LMBAO… RIGHT NOW!!! AAAHAHAHA!!! It was in the sixties… and he needed water wings ;) That’s about 50percent more than what I knew before about Australian history.

    1. go6

      good question, ive been wondering the same thing! i can’t drive that course for more than 1hr before it freezes my system!

      Hotfix notes:
      “The following issue has been addressed:
      – An issue wherein the game becomes unstable under certain circumstances when selecting the Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit.”

      That’s all I know.

    3. RodSk8Dude

      What was your problem? I had a problem in it where the game would be stuck on replay without any controls or sound if I took photos. The only way to leave was to turn off the console (if I tried to quit the game the console would restart).

    4. retro77king

      the problem with bathurst was when the track got selected in an online room everybody’s mics would start to crackle and if the track wasn’t changed quick enough everyone who was in the room their game or ps3 would freeze and problem number 2 is there no rooms showing in the lobby

  51. Brunskill777

    Two Vision cars and BRAKE CALIPER PAINTING!!! So cool, and hopefully a step in the right direction towards better car liveries and modification which is much needed for GT!!!

    1. jezboosted

      MadFLavour – It’s a new PS3 SuperSlim and many people are having the issue. I’ve been logged in since 5:30pm. Maybe they have already hotfixed it, but don’t talk about crap you don’t know.

    2. BrunetPaquet

      It is a bug. Lots of people with well-working PS3 including mine which is a week-old replacement have this freezing problem… No need to caps lock each other’s faces.

  52. Amac500

    Also nice to see that the Ford GT90 has been added, not quite sure why there are Aston Martin badges though…

    1. Croatian_STIG

      The only “Ford GT90” thing about this Aston is the shape of the body and it’s headlights. (sexy, sexy headlights)

  53. Amac500

    My new favorite game is getting in the Nissan, using the cockpit view, and playing What’s Behind the Nissan VGT.

  54. EhEhEINSTEIN

    Just a heads up to anyone with 3 screens.. 1.10 seems to have completely ended the ability to use peripheral monitors. They both freeze on a black screen anytime I try to load any race with any car. Thanks for the update…

    1. EhEhEINSTEIN

      Or apparently they will just sit on the gt loading screen forever and not completely freeze but not actually do anything.. Either way, triple checked all the settings just to make 100% sure even though I’ve not had any problems after all previous updates just starting it right up and it working fine… I’m SO disappointed I don’t even know what else to say other than no GT for me until this is resolved. Sad day :(

  55. Monatsende

    Around 6 to 7 hours of download. Is there any other game with such massive “updates”.

    Well, I don`t call it “updates”. Beside the VGT cars and small game tweaks the huge patch weights = contents should be on disk since day 1 which reminds me that we received a half-made, full-priced game in December last year and PD is completing it step by step.
    PD stresses my weak bandwidth again and again. Not to mention useless running time of my PS3.

    Worst project management ever.

    How long will last my love for GT?

    1. Mellow70

      The Nissan 2020 sounds mostly like the R35.

      The Aston Martin DP-100 sounds ok, nothing spectacular though.

    2. LarryL

      Actually I think the Aston went out with the wrong sound file. In the video, you can hear the in game sound of the car and it’s really good, and they talk about how good it turned out. But the sound we’ve got on the Aston now is that of a turbo 4 cylinder or something. It MUST be the wrong sound file.

    3. wudy201

      They sound like cars. Has anyone ever been around one or in one to hear them? But they sound like cars so it seems like they got it.

  56. Lambofanghini

    These Vision GT cars are starting to make my Aventadors look a little dated. Job well done on these new Vision GT’s. The Aston over steers a lot, which is just the way I like most of my mid engine cars to handle. Kudos!!

  57. watchclockgit

    If a track is imbedded in this it would be lovely if it was the Hungaroring, which would be a nice touch, and consistent with Red Bull Ring being released just before a GP. But it’s probably not. I would prefer some more race cars myself.

  58. Koenigsegg19

    I get that PD is giving us more little details to work with, and I like that, but can they at least give us what they promised back in February? They hint at a new track in Spain, (whatever its name I can’t think of at the moment) and then all goes silent and they move on to other content. Can PDI stop making false promises? If the track isn’t going to be in the game, don’t say it might be. At least release the content in the order you mention it or give us some idea when you plan on relaeasing it. I was hoping they’d release the track in this update beings it’s so huge, but alas, it’s probably 2 more 1080p videos for the VGT cars that very little people care about. It’s a game I want to play, not a movie to watch PD.

    1. go6

      The course in spain that was suppose to be really huge might actually be the Isle of man TT. Their is a video on youtube of subaru finishing 37 miles in just under 20 minutes. An average speed of 114 miles and hour with a top speed of about 164.<<< if that isn't any indication of full throttle all the way around then i don't know what is…..anyways isle of man tt is suppose to come to ps4 not ps3. I think their might be a lot of debate coming up whether or not we will see that course. But either way i give them credit, they will have to shut down the course for 2 days to laser scan the entire island….subaru 20 minutes for 37 miles<< imagine how long it will take a safety vehicle with cameras and lasers to scan 37 miles. << AND FOR THAT I APPLAUD P.D.!

    2. SZRT Ice

      The course is called Zahara.
      It is scheduled for GT6.
      It is based in Andalusia Spain.
      It encompasses the city where GT6’s release party was held and where Kaz had a street named after him.
      Scanning the Isle of Man TT will take 2 weeks with a road vehicle according to sources.
      This does not include the time it will take using the remote aerial chopper and other scanning, video & photo capturing techniques PD makes use of for R&D, at least to my understanding.
      The course is actually made of public roads. Henceforth, it won’t actually be shut down.
      The Isle is literally an Island located in the Irish Sea in/near western Europe. To my understanding, it’s actually its own country.

    3. BRRT_Angel

      Zahara wasn’t completely realistic, some roads on that particular track aren’t there in real life.

    4. Gavster11

      Jordan knows something we don’t know, doo da, doo da, Jordan knows something we don’t know, all the doo da day………….. ;)

  59. TomBrady

    That brake caliper feature is great.

    What’s up with the engine brake reduction thing though? The hell is all that supposed to mean?

    1. skyline1683

      Engine brake reduction is basically for the f1 cars and the redbull cars it opens the the throttle at a small percentage to reduce the risk of spinning mid corner and under braking should in effect make them more realistic to drive

    2. go6

      if you ever drive the redbull cars, don’t use the brakes and just turn! the car actually seems to drive itself. < i thought it was just the turbos or something…..but now that they have actually modded the engine brake thing it should actually let you slow down the car, rather than speed it up around corners with no brakes haha. can't WAIT !

  60. aboe

    OK, well 1.09 was about 600MB and gave us the Red Bull Ring so I’m excited to see what this one brings us… perhaps the Track Creator? Or possibly the Spanish de la Zahara track?

    #joywee

    1. Streeto

      If this one “brought us” either of those things it would state so in the article and everybody would be going crazy…

      1.11 is the next hope for those things, sadly.

  61. Croatian_STIG

    PAINTABLE BRAKE CALIPERS!!! It’s little details like that that make me happy :’)
    Strange how there was no maintanence announced.

    1. iainoflo85

      There was, but then it appeared a little before the update was available but then removed from the website after at some point because I saw it there.

    1. Amac500

      As someone who shot 500 pictures there for a photomode set (about 20 were used), I absolutely share that hope, cus it wasn’t easy lol

    2. wudy201

      Any way that posted itself early. But I am asking because i’ve had some awesome wild finishes starting coming out of the last turn sideway banging fenders the whole way down the straight with awsome photo shots of cars crossing the finish sideway, backwards, an awesome pic of my Rocket completley backwards my front bumper being pushed by a McLaren MPs front bumper pushing me acoss the line in first and got some cool photos of the drivers looking right at eachother both working the steering wheel, and cool views through the tire smoke and cool angles. and my point is I never had any issues. Is it only some people having issues or is it something I might not have come across yet? Its an awesome track for cool race photos.

  62. Hentis01

    Let me get this straight here. Even though there are 31 days in July and we are on day 25 people are moaning the fact that its only just been released. Why? PD said the update would be in July and it is? They will not give an approximate release date for obvious reasons…. or do you need that to be explained to you?

    As again onto sounds. New sounds are not going to happen in GT6. Read the GT Pit stop posts. The answer is in there.

    As to the update. Its big enough at 2.1 gig to have extra bits in it as well. As to what they are. More cars/ tracks possibly.
    anyhow looking forward to download it this evening.

  63. Johnny1996

    Well, my patience was being tested, but its good now. I might have to leave the PS3 on all night long for it to update, which I kinda don’t want to do, but I haven’t even turned the console on yet to see how long it says the update will take.

    1. Johnny1996

      Forgot to address this point: brake caliper painting. I already love it, and it’ll really help the looks of my RX-7 and R34.

    2. HeirBoxen

      I was just thinking today. WHEN ARE THESE CARS COMING OUT? So happy! can’t wait to try them out!!!

  64. p3bucky

    Like people are saying in the thread, it’s probably so big because there’s 2 1080p videos in the update.

    1. TomBrady

      I love the fact that PD uses high quality formats for their videos.

      Honestly it drives me nuts when games slap in low quality intro videos and crap like that. The videos should look better than the game, not the other way around. I’m looking at you codemasters and bioshock infinite

    2. go6

      I have yet to see the videos but honestly i can’t wait, and Tombrady, you are correct. P.D. really knows how to use high quality pictures and equipement in their videos and i absolutely love that. I can sit back and just enjoy watching Ayrton Senna everyday. It’s a masterpiece!

  65. chengman

    Any news as to engine sounds or graphics? The F430 cockpit view doesn’t display the gear, the Maserati GT sounds like a California and the Lotus Elise 111R speedo thinks it’s still in the metric units.

    1. HuskyGT

      Yeah, I tested some cars that need a sound update and also a fix on glitched instruments, but nothing was fixed. Viper GTS ’02 still sounds like it did since GT2, Shelby GT500 still measures miles as kilometers, and probably a bunch others are still the same.

      At least they fixed the Veyron. The HP gauge works now :D Still sounds like an M5 though :(

  66. NW48

    Eh, I would have liked a track and a new feature *coughCommunitycough*, but hey, at least they gave us the promised VGT cars! (and the brake calliper thingymabob)

  67. Nestor_Motta

    2115mb for only two cars and some programming changes? I think a little too big … Something is hidden for appearing.

    1. mokalovesoulmat

      ‘Some programming changes’ — we dont even know how everything works inside GT6 and how GT6 engineers fixing bugs so better not looking ‘some programming changes’ as a simple thing.
