GT5 was garbage, GT6 is garbage. Nothing new under the sun.

I loved GT2 (first exposure), liked GT3 & 4, avoided GT5 Prologue, and loved GT5 (first exposure with internet). Not just to you, Fred; I've seen TONS of folks on here in some way shiv GT5.....But for those of you who seemingly hated GT5, why DID you buy GT6? This (GT6) is my "gotchya" moment. Feeling completely bamboozled on this title, I'll not be on GTP belittling GT7.

ok... thats your opinion

Well to give you some constructive feedback, first of all it's lacking in words quite badly. Very brief. You haven't described the game itself in any great detail, just gone straight into a comparison to 5 before telling us what GT6 has that's new. You compare the menus but focus on just one aspect of one menu, the visuals of the main menu. Nothing on the speed, usibility or any other pros/cons. You've got Decent car selection for 5, Fantastic car selection for 6 but not really expanded why it's a negative for GT5 and why GT6 is better. You briefly start detailing the game at the end then just...stop.

In short, it needs a LOT more detail.
 
No, GT6 is better, but not by too much imo. Physics are better, but it's pretty thin after that.

I used to think that GT5 was just GT4.5, but now after playing GT6, GT5 was GT5.0 and now GT6 feels like GT5.5.

GT5 is 10x better than GT6.
GT5 has B-Spec, send messages to my friends, GTTV, museum cards, UCD and I can play with my GTPSP cars.

I did NOT buy GT6 after the disappointment I had with GT5. But I got the game from my brother as a Christmas present.

oh, i see. Thanks very much! I wrote that about 2 or 3 months ago, before I really got to grips with GT6. I might edit it... :D
 
Well, I like GT5 for the features. Like Course Maker, B-Spec, and Top Speed. I miss those in GT6, but I believe it will come in an Update or DLC soon. I also love the car selection in GT6. With new cars like Ferrari, Audi R8 LMS, Audi R18 LMP car, BMW M4, BMW Z4 GT3, and MANY more. So i'd recommend it. Won't hurt to try it! :D
 
I know it's still early for GT6, and please respect my opinions I'm not hating GT6 i will try to explain my experience with GT6 so far. Yes there may be a lot of bugs, some things more logical, some not logical. It will probably get a lot better.

So the Physics are better on GT6? Yes & No in my opinion. All you see is a little car roll when steering, some more than others. GT6 annoys me way more with the intense screeching sounds the tyres make which don't even sound realistic when going round corners and the screeching is overbearing. But sometimes tyres screech at stupidly low speeds which is not so in real life. I know the cars body or chassis when steering rattles when straining the chassis from steering which is good. But now GT6 feels less like a simulation to me.

The cars go round corners as if they were a Go Kart and its way too easy and arcady feeling is the steering. To me the feeling in GT5 without the bodyroll and less tyre screeching, you actually had to work harder to steer a car round a bend. It all feels way to easy with GT6. Yes ok some things are better but the end experience feels cheaper. The cars just don't feel right when steering and its all way too arcady. Some things may be more logical in GT6.

I don't hate GT6 but i prefer GT5 to do endurance racing. And I am a Drag racer so all I ask is that Performance testing is there like Speed Test! Advanced transmission tuning and theoretical max speed measurements come back. When Drag Racing cars the physics seems backwards, some aspects of the cars are more logical some are not. I know PD are still fine tuning the physics engine so this should mean that some aspects of tuning for drag make GT6 more like GT5 and this should be fixed and put right soon.

Things i love about GT6 that make GT6 better than GT5.

Game loads faster.
Menus are cleaner, easier and more intuitive (this is good for people new to the GT experience)
Larger car selection that weren't in GT5 and some cars premium that weren't
Graphics are better especially the newer lighting model
DLC Purchase from in-game now
New tracks that aren't in GT5
Cars engines don't need break in.
Limitless paint Chips once acquired

Things i love about GT5 that make GT5 better than GT6
(Warning some of these things may get a little barmy but hey i can dream)

Speed Test.
BSpec (Although i never was bothered for it)
Used car Dealer
Online Dealership
Car Sharing/Gifting
Selection of car Horns
Advanced Transmission tuning, Percentage markers, you know what theoretical top speed your flipping or tuning your gears to reach.

Features that if don't make GT6 should make into GT7 *MUST HAVES*

Allow Wings, wheels to be fitted and changed from every type of car including premium and standard. This is still restricted
Choice of Body kits like Forza for each type of car, interchangeable bumpers, hoods
Tyre Diameter in proper inches e.g 15"-20" available to put on any car
Tyre Width (Bigtime)
Drag tyres
Drivetrain Swaps
Mirro Swaps + paintable
Selection of different petrol caps paintable
Wheel nuts paintable
Wings, Spoilers, hoods or any part of car e.g front/rear bumper/wing/side wings paintable.
Engine Swaps. Ability to put any engine in any car. Or is this a Legal nightmare with manufacturers not wanting their models to be changed in any way?? Even so at least provide a selection like forza of engines you can upgrade to more powerful that would fit and be acceptable from the same manufacturer.
More comprehensive list of engine parts like Forza 5 (especially)like pistons, intercoolers etc..
Painting centre
Selection of lips for lights or light head covers.
Tintable windows/lights any colour.
Selection of different types of lights
Dyno testing
Selection of steering wheels
Gauges for boost
Electric Windows
Selection of racing seats
Selection of roll bars
Selection of under car lighting
Auction House

Think about this if PD actually thought about doing some of these things it would start to make Turn 10 think how they could make the cars more customize able and unique. Right now Forza is ahead. But GT7 on PS4 come on PD. Impress us all and make Forza guys want to come to GT6/7!! :lol:

I agree, the screeching is ANNOYING. And if you have seen a KTM corner, the springs are tighter. In GT6, they look soft... Just my observation
 
Hen I am in online and I go to room by accident and then when I went out the game stick . When I quit the game my ps3 shut down in my face .that is a another thing I don't like about gt6
 
Still wondering what you can DO in GT6 that you couldn't in GT5. Sure new tracks and cars are a given, but beyond that what else is new in terms of gameplay?

You mean the PS3 jumped off the stand it was on and right into your face and then shut down? I'd report that to Sony, sounds serious, sort of, you know, Transformers serious. :lol:

Good Wood... and better data analyzer (More realistic.)

Do you mean the track is available as an arcade choice or test drive track or online? Or just the Festival of Speed Events? If just the events, then you have to balance that with the loss of the Grand Tour. And before you throw in Moon Missions, no rally races in GT6. As for the analyzer....:crazy:. Just :crazy:. It's PAST time PD gave us a REAL car setup tool like a 7- or even a 5-post machine. All this analyzer does is show up in vivid bleh PDs own programming faults.
Let's see, what can't I do right now that I could do a year ago?
Seasonal race grinding for 1mil+/race
Trade cars
Create a track
Speed test cars

And I don't even race online, so who wants to enumerate that list?:cheers:
 
If gt6 is going to be better than gt5
More tracks like the America track
More racing cars and supercars like the LA Ferrari or some gt cars
Better and exciting more challenge events and races because I finished gt6 in one day
 
GT5 has better arcade mode, more cars on grid, tire wear and stuff. GT6 has more world tracks, which is also important. If GT5 had the same track list as GT6, it would be better to me.
Also, I miss this car a lot.
<-------
 
GT6 is better than GT5 in everything. Course maker is missing that is the only thing I can think off. B spec is something I hope they do not bother from now. Although I love the cars going around the tracks and sometime while eating I just leave the game in menu for sometime so that some random videos start to play :)
 
The physics in GT6 is much more preciser than you guys think:grumpy:,in this year's GT Academy event,a tiny different handle could make a huge time gap.So don't take these meaningless title any more.👎

GT5 has a better game play than GT6 so GT6 is no better than GT5 in everything.

AI - Worse
Career mode/A-Spec - Worse
Sounds - Just as bad

So no, GT6 is not better at everything. The two main components of the single player game are worse.

The interesting thing is that one of those was said to be part of GT6's repertoire by KW Suspension themselves, and the most we got was an enhanced version of what we had in GT5 (which was already basically the same one we had in GT3, though my memory is rather hazy on that). And we've heard even less about that since release than we have the big stuff supposed to be on the way.
 
So, finally I joined the GT6 club. WOW what a great game! Really! It feels so great and is made with a lot of love! I did not expected anything from GT6 so it surprised me totally until now. I played 6 hrs straight. It feels like the old GT games. Especially that fuel saving mission on the nordschleife made me excited :)

So, yeah, it is way better than GT5 I think. Also the standard cars look very good now!

Only the loading times suck. Maybe there is a way to install the game on hard disk, got to google it.
