I've raced extensively w/ GT since GT3. I however, because of moving and travel have had my wheel packed and in storage for the last year and just got it back out. I'm probably 50% in GT5. I'm really torn, should I not waste my time w/ GT5 and just jump into the new physics of GT6? Thoughts?
 
Have the selection options like before to be able to adjust the brake, LSD, Drive Train, Traction Control as were driving etc. Please I BEG OF THEE!
 
Yes, most definitely. The new physics are great, and (for me) the interior views are much improved, with most cars that I have driven having actual working tachs, speedos,etc. Menus are much faster, car sorting is easier with multiple sorts now, the garage in general is MUCH improved. A great improvement in many ways over GT5.

The new tracks are excellent, too. Bathhurst and Silverstone alone are worth it!

As an FYI, some things are missing, currently, which were in GT5 (24hour races being a big one), but they have indicated that they are committed to adding a lot of DLC and I'm sure they will deliver!

Happy Racing!
 
Thanks for the response guys! I'm headed out now to get it. I feel like its Christmas for me... New GT and haven't hooked up the wheel in a year. Looks like I've got some late nights ahead of me!!!
 
Gran Turismo is a Good game but i felt like GT6 is unfinished. Alot of features are missing and PD said they will introduce them via updates. My problem is, one i have completed all races, i box the game up and put it away and rarly touch it. This mean if they update to include more races towards the summer of 2014, my game will be packed away and i an unlikely to use it again.
 
Make a calculated decision off of your choice, your reasoning, your appeals, don't be sheeple. People who buy the game for the sake of the game, of the brand or make one sided views without weighing it all out, those aren't good consumers.

Just because I bought the Gran Turismo series of games doesn't mean I'm a fanatic who tramples all over Forza claims, in my mind Gran Turismo should take a cue from them in terms of AI, sound, and detailing.

Gran Turismo 6 is this, I've posted the same thing to many others who asked on buying it, GT6 is an investment.
Its an incomplete game that will mature with time. If you think about it, many who have played the launch day version and this current version of GT6 laud it as being many times greater than its predecessor or even the best game they ever played, and this is technically an incomplete game still. Quite an achievement.

I think you should buy GT6, I like it as of now, it has its flaws, nothing extremely major (besides the sound, but its gonna be patched :P ) and the physics engine is quite good compared to other games. If anything this game is 60$, but as of now, its worth 40$, GT5, when it came out cost 60$, but it was worth 20 or even 15$ due to so many issues and gripes. With updates, it filled out its value, and some. GT6 will probably be a 60$ offering with many many more in content as time goes on.

I have been a GT Fan since GT 1 owned them all im all about understanding of the game, they all had their flaws of course it can not please everyone, but lets get serious here, really gt 6 is for birds.

Lol, in seriousness, I bought the game, doesn't mean I'm forced to enjoy it, but its just that in this particular case, the positives outweigh the negatives. Give me a couple months, if updates fail to add on or resolve issues, then I'll agree with you. A good game to show is Skyrim, horrid when it came out, took some updates to make it okay for consoles.

Hey I know what u are saying, but ask yourself have you EVER seen so many flaws in a game like this, especially in the MAGNITUDE of the Gran Turismo title, I seriously doubt u have, to many flaws my friend, all the music flaws, all the car settings, display settings etc. And to top it all the purchase of a garage really? Sad thing is I purchased it along with the $ 7 and a half million credits of $49.99 how insane but I did it, Honestly adeathnote u can have my copy buddy.

Lol the example I just said, Skyrim. The game literally would not play, Rage was supposed to be the "next gen rpg/vehicle/awesomeness" completely horrid as well when it came out. So the answer is yes, but if you are talking about driving games. ModNation Racers, Anarchy Nation, Motorstorm was buggy and unplayable at times for example.

That being said, I respect your opinion, and I'm sad to see someone leave GT, but it is your game, you are free to play it or not play it, though I'd rather you sell it on Ebay or something for 40$, get some of your value back.

Speaking of Skyrim I love that game, I had very little issues with it all games do, it had it glitches and freezes from time to time, a beautiful game, no where compared to the let down of GT 6, but anyway Im car racer person I have Thrustmaster 500rs the G27 wheel 65 inch Sony, waited forever for this game and here I am, took 3 weeks off vacation to play it along with Killzone and BF4 giving up on Call Of Duty, they floped as well, but i'll wait another 3 or 4 yrs on GT 7 I think they are just holding back so they can make it on the PS4 so they can say how much better it is and charge everyone more money, not that it matters to me im blessed financially but regardless it's a shady outcome in my opinion, i'll return to it some time later. Ur opinions are well respected as well, just to bad I can't find the humor to LOL.

You won't regret it. GT6 is way better than GT5. Way more tracks with dynamic weather/time, more content, must faster loading, better UI, WAAAYYYYY better physics, etc...

I agree but it goes the other way too. There are many cues Forza should take from GT and looking at it from the point of view that the grass is greener on the other side isn't smart either. Forza has AI issues as well. Sound is better but I wouldn't say Forza has realistic sounds either or at least not Horizon.
 
This is not a GT vs FM thread, can we leave the comparisons to the correct threads please.

interiors are far from making sense, u have some hoopty Honda that cost 23 grand with a decked out flushed to the Max cock pit, Then u have a 2 million dollar Veyron with no interior details only some black out layout as if you are traped in a home made cut out cardboard cockpit, explain that one to me, so many cars are like that, with todays technology, unbelievable.

Veyron has interiors modelled FYI. Do you really have GT6?

Yes Get it. it will only get better with patches. and just now i finished Driving the festival Italia: race 3 (Monaco) driving the Diablo GT2 '98. let me tell you i apologize to poly. after driving that car, on that circuit. i know now what a GEM this series (GT games) has become. and will always support this developer. cheers KAZ, Polyphony Digital, I am having a great time.

Yes, from what i've played the game is better in just about every way from 5.

latininferno is likely some kinda troll...[/quote LOL just calling it how I see it, as for me and my friends were very disappointed heck I just installed the new update, & now the R1 & R2 won't work can't see the paints, customizations etc, because it won't flip around to the different angles, unbelievable, but im glad you are enjoying the game, just a cheap product is all im seeing from Grand Turismo, they lost their motivational DRIVE how sad.
 
lol, so at the OP, i apologize for the thread devolving into a comparison war, but I and many others gave you our 2 cents, and the overall consensus is that GT6 is pretty good.

Grinding isn't bad anymore, making creds is beyond easy. Gameplay overall is good and updates seem to make it better, so go get it.

It sucks, the games worthless.
 
It seems your making generalized statements and assumption, statements that are poor in content and does not make any point. Your previous posts in this thread was decent and argumentative, this:

made you go from sounding like a Harvard Graduate to Johnny working the cash register at McDonalds.

You didn't read where I said OVERALL CONSENSUS for GT6 is good, so everyone on this thread with the exception of you recommend buying the game. I think my maths is right in 8 people being more than 2 people who disagree. Maybe you are a Harvard grad who can prove me that 2 is more than 8 but IDK.

Moderator close this thread down, the OP's question has been resolved.

No I just expect more from the game then it's previous one, it should be better not worse, but thanks for the high intel put down buddy.
