Brands Hatch Circuit in GT6?

[GTPorsche]

I think they did merge the Eiger locations into one.

 

[BoneSawTX]

I really hope they just gave out the 33 number as a minimum. GT5 DLC needs to be part of the game on disc, there's no excuse for not having it on there.

what if the excuse is it's not going to be ready for cd release day 1? delay the game, how about stop being cheap.

 

[TokoTurismo]

What? Those two sentences don't correlate. But yeah, this seems rather clear to me:

Nice. 👍 Oh, and the two sentense. Was just saying it would have sucked to not have them in GT6.

 

[dixonbaps]

GT5 including DLC locations has 31 locations according to PD.

http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/products/gt5/tracks/

PD have then said GT6 has 33 locations, 7 more than GT5. Clearly they either suck at adding up or they're not counting DLC in that 33 number and also losing another track somehow, likely merging the Eiger locations into one.

It sounds to me like they are counting GT5 DLC as new tracks in GT6 because we've only seen confirmation of 3 new tracks in GT6 to the best of my knowledge, which I hope is not the case

It's not about being cheap. DLC content should only exist as something that was added after the release, or as a gimmick/superficial addon/afterthought. That's how I believe the system should work. In the past they would've made a track sometime in 2004 and it would go into GT4 in 2005. If they're doing what you are happy with them doing, the track would be released for $5 for GT3 and remain as paid DLC for the rest of the life of the series on that platform. Ethics aside, this is also annoying in the current implementation because it means a segmentation of the online community for that track, and a complete lack of A-spec events using that track. I'd personally rather wait a year and get the track in the next game if given the choice between the two. Of course, there is a third option of discounting old DLC, then including it for free as part of the next game. Everyone wins - except elitists that feel everyone should pay what they paid.

Now that this temp box art mentioning Brands Hatch has been seemingly confirmed as genuine we have four confirmed tracks (Silverstone, Matterhorn, Brands, Willow) which is why we have an issue now. Spa was shown in the trailer suggesting its in the base game but it wouldn't be the first time a PD trailer was misleading.

We're just going to have to wait and see now because there isn't much else we can work out ourselves.

I like this phrase "Subject to change".

Which further backs up my theory that GT5 DLC tracks are classed as new tracks in GT6.

Which means I may be right but then there's the Kart Space track.
So as I work it out means either there is no Karting in GT6 or their numbers are wrong.

Like you said, we'll have to wait and see

I hadn't considered that but surely it'd be odd to not include Kart Space when he originally said Karting was destined for GT6 originally but brought forward to GT5.

Kaz/PD also said that a number of things were coming to GT5 but the things mentioned never made it in.

I just wish that PD wasn't so secretive and give us some solid facts instead of the cryptic (and sometimes misleading) clues that they give us.

wait a second, I'm having a hard time reading this sentence as it i think it's missing some words/thoughts. Are you saying they are going to make GT5 DLC, DLC for GT6 and that I'd be happy about that? No that would be stupid if they did that. I wouldn't buy the DLC and the GT6 disc would be headed for the shredder.

If they have a schedule for X amount of content to be ready for press which means the rest of the content is to be finished after release date and released as DLC, I'll take it.

Ethics aside, this is also annoying in the current implementation because it means a segmentation of the online community for that track, and a complete lack of A-spec events using that track.

Soon as you can get every console user to stop buying it then you may have a chance to change the system. Otherwise don't buy it and wait for the next game to come out with that content. Nobody is twisting your or my arm to buy it.

Have they said anywhere that all the old locations would return? you know what they are like for adding/removing their fantasy tracks in new GT games.

Also and i hope im wrong but on the E3 news section of the GT site it says

"At E3 2013, new locations included in Gran Turismo 6 were also revealed. Here are the three locations that were introduced at the show:"

It then lists Gemasolar as a location along side Wilow and the Matahorn even though Gemasolar is only a photo location, if they start talking about both photo backdrops and tracks as "locations" then it could get confusing.

<<< edit ... I just read that all GT5 tracks will carry over, so im out lol, ill leave it to you guys to work out >>>

In reference to the place holder

Interesting indeed,did you take a picture of it?

I didnt take a photo of it but anyone in the UK could easily check their local GAME store im sure they all have them, the store i went to was : GAME, liberty shopping center, Romford, essex.

 

[sems4arsenal]

If it is indeed being distributed at UK stores then surely it is real.

So that's 4 tracks excluding Bathurst,Apricot,Seattle and Acari .Guess that was what Lucas Ordonez meant by that GT6 will have alot of tracks eventually

 

[Samus]

Have they said anywhere that all the old locations would return?.

They did, yes. All cars and tracks from GT5 will return.

 

[CJSpencer77]

They did, yes. All cars and tracks from GT5 will return.

Yh i saw that after i posted, im not sure whats going on then, they must have their numbers wrong, which like you said earlier is weird, you would think they would know how many tracks their baby has off the top of their head.

 

[Samus]

The only way they don't have their numbers wrong at this stage is if one or more of the DLC tracks are not included on the disc. Only including three of them at this stage would still tally.

 

[snowgt]

I'm beginning to think that they just haven't really decided yet which tracks will be DLC and which will be included in GT6 (or they might have changed their plan between 15th anniversary event and E3). That would explain why the flyers mentioning Bathurst and Brands were pulled, because they can't advertise the GT6 launch with DLC-tracks.

Also, that would explain why the numbers seem to be slightly off...

 

[Samus]

Someone has seen the temp-box art mentioning Brands in a UK store though. They wouldn't have allowed that to go out, surely, although it does seem odd PD haven't mentioned it yet if it's out there on the temp-box for all to see.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Yeah I saw it today with Brands Hatch on the back of the box.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I saw the place holder art box in a Game store a while ago, it mentioned Brands Hatch on it too, seems more and more official to me.
