GT6 Q/A

[Zuel]

Is the KW 7 post active @BHRxRacer?

I don't think I can buy all the cars and try to mod them guys..I'll see how much it is and backup-reup my save. I only have aruond 90k.

This, thanks for the info, I'm glad now. If only I have the game now I would have so much fun, oh the possibilities.

 

[FiftyBelowZero]

I will be genuinely surprised if the Seasonal Events will differ dramatically from those GT5.

Knowing PD, that'd be quite a shock!

 

[BHRxRacer]

Wow, thanks for taking down the youtube channel/videos!

You guys are sweet.

 

[bodger]

Not quite, do I have to quote the whole article ?



There, now show me where it says GPS exclusivity in there. (Protip: You can't because it's not in there )

And just for kicks heres the NZGamer article.


I'll make this next part easy and do your part for you, the only mention of GPS in that article, THE only mention, is in reference to track surveying involving coordinates.

-I see no connection to the Toyobaru ()
-I read no mention of GPS-mode exclusivity - if anything it (the rig) is something used during replays or uses replay-data in a new menu or section of GT6.
-My question still remains unanswered, no pics, no options, nothing, NOTHING on the 7-post rig itself. I know about the various suspension-upgrades available, that's not what I'm looking for, the actual KW 7-post rig or its tuning-menu or anything on the rig itself is what I'm after.

Feel free to post a pic of the rig in GT6 to prove me wrong, or an article that actually says what you claim, that it is a GT86-thing only and only for the GPS non-sense. (which as proven above from the article, is false according to provided info)

I'll still be waiting for proof this thing (the rig) even exists in GT6, sure, maybe it could be a day1 thing or something, but for now, for those who can only play offline due to other circumstances, GT6 still looks like GT5.5 to me.

(Bring on the 'hate ya'll, I'll get you tomorrow afternoon sometime )

"The 7-post mode is reserved for the so-called track replay mode. First of all, data has to be collected at the race track which is then evaluated at the test stand. The data record can only be used for identical car constructions."

The "track replay mode" is the replay mode whereby the GPS and CAN BUS log from your car is downloaded into GT6 and then available as a virtual replay in the game.

The ability to download this data is limited to versions of the Toyota GT86/Scion FRS:

"Although it’s limited to special editions of the FR-S for now, and there are still a fair amount of bugs to be worked out and refinements to be made, Polyphony Digital has a chance to fundamentally change the way drivers analyze and evaluate their performance."

Good explanation, one of the best Ive seen. I would rather see it at consistant 30 FPS with no drops at all and use the extra power from the 15-30 frames to go towards slightly better, ill say... fixing up those distant shadows and smoothing out the other little processing power related bugs.

On my experience 80% of these "30 fps rock solid" games do have some frame drops soner or later.
Dropping from 30 to 25 is way more annoying than dropping from 60 to 55, guaranteed.

30 to 25 is a larger percentage though... and the flickering shadows are way more annoying than a dropped frame.

I play games on my PC at around 18 fps at times.

My person FPS guide:
0-9 FPS, frustrating.
10-13 FPS, nearly playable.
14-19 FPS, playable.
20-29 FPS, pretty nice!
30+ it really looks all the same after 30...

Here's mine:

0-9 FPS, LOLWUT
10-13 FPS, fugly
14-19 FPS, ugly
20-29 FPS, mediocre
30-50 FPS, frame drops cause annoyance
40-60 FPS, frame drops cause annoyance
30 locked FPS, acceptable
40 locked FPS, good
50 locked FPS, good+
60 locked FPS, GREAT
120 locked FPS @120hz, PARADISE.

and the flickering shadows are way more annoying than a dropped frame. IMHO

Fixed.

I get around 60 FPS on GT1(emulator)... should I be proud of that? on Star Wars EAW (2006) Im lucky to get more than 22-23... without max graphics, I play minecraft at around 14-18 FPS, and its quite close to lowest settings you can possibly have... Simraceway, a beautiful 13 FPS with EVERY extra process turned off(yes including, explorer.exe) then I have to play with the priority settings so my throttle and steering input gets updated more than a 3 second interval... lol So yep. 30 and 176 look exactly the same to me. (176 was Super Mario Bros)

[sk8er913]

Well that sucks, hopefully you get through it ok, what model is it?

Some people can't see it, just like some people can't see tearing or spot the differences between premiums and standards. It's just a thing.

You're better off than the rest of us, it's annoying to be able to notice it when there's nothing you can do to fix it.

Oh dear, that's not good. GT related or just unlucky?

 

[BHRxRacer]

All I did was quit GT6 -.-

It's fine now though, thanks. I have the old fat model.

I can see drops and tears etc... I think I just have low FPS standards since I aim for 20 on PC games. XD

launch model? what year did you buy it? Does it check the files more often that it did say last year?

My phat does that a lot too, however it's never actually done anything.

It's a consipracy! Sony activated self destructive nano-machines of your PS3 model because of GT6 leaks!

Mine used to do that... then it became a monthly occurrence, then it did it twice in 1 day (the day after it already did it once) and it restarted with a yellow light. :|

@BHRxRacer, all we can aay is, thank you for answer all our questions and providing us with excellent visuals.

 

[Fyshokid]

Haha, yeah, I should probably mention that my phat has gotten the yellow light twice now, but it's still working after a few questionable fixes.

Also, could we get some hi-res photomode shots of standards? I'd especially like to see how the RUFs look.

EDIT: Also, can you zoom in on standards this time?

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

Did the system restart? If so you should've just hit O.It brings you to that screen (before this one) when the ps3 don't shut down correct..I mean I don't recommend it but, more than likely nothing is corrupted when that screen comes up.

 

[sinbad]

A few course maker details and an example of a random one would be good, if not already requested.

I think I read somewhere that it's still not available, not sure though

 

[FRoSTeD]

Can you remove the stock wing on cars and make them wingless?

 

[BHRxRacer]

Is the KW 7 post active @BHRxRacer?

If that's the special tuning thing, I don't know how/where to activate it.

launch model? what year did you buy it? Does it check the files more often that it did say last year?

2008, when GTA IV came out. The 40gigs was the only one available here at the time. Last time this happened my HDD got corrupted and I had to replace it. Lost a whole month worth of progress in GT5.

Haha, yeah, I should probably mention that my phat has gotten the yellow light twice now, but it's still working after a few questionable fixes.

You saw the suzuki. That was from photo mode. I'll take more later.

No course maker so far.

Name a car.

 

[THOMASBARNES]

@BHRxRacer in the replay screenshots is that snow?

 

[BHRxRacer]

@THOMASBARNES Rain

@mcalva98 Autumn maximum night time is 1600, not really "night" -.-

@research Driving options for arcade are here

@CorvetteConquer XJ220 is standard, yes.

@05XR8 Check the picture. No mods.

 

[mister dog]

@BHRxRacer Now that you had the game for a couple of days, can you tell us what you find positive about it, what you find negative about it and if you think it is a real improvement over GT5, or it is more of the same?

Really curious about your impressions so far, so please write us a little review 👍

Thanks.

Thats crazy. We'll see what happens after the patch. Thanks.

Well look at that once again certain cars can have things done in GT life and some can't.

It's basically a big GT5 patch. Visuals, UI navigation, physics and loading times improved. I like how license tests are required now, and the new game progression system. I'll take a screenshot of the 2nd set of events later.

Replays didn't improve, neither the video quality or the features/angles. There are also some annoying things like not being able to rotate the car in GT autos when buying wheels. You're stuck with either full front or full side view. It's still no where near GT4 to me, but still worth the money and time. Even for the new physics alone. If GT5 was GT5p Spec II, GT6 is actually GT5 minus a few features from GT4.
