Just booted up the game and the top news item (which wasn't there last night) indicates PD/Sony are playing hammer-time. No mention of it on the GT website yet as far as I can see.

Yep. BAM!
 


Good to see they are actually doing something about it though.

Are they just going out with the banhammer on users or do you have to reported in a public lobby or something?

Accessing it right now, luckily drift rooms are lenient with modded cars.

I still think keeping them on the down low might be wise for a little while, drift rooms or not...
 
Yeah, I have no problems going online either, even though, at one point, I was more or less the main distributor of these hybrids. I guess the bans are mainly targeting the people using them for cheating in races or seasonal leaderboards etc. (for now, anyways.)

Yeah I'll probably wait for all of this banhammering to die out for a little bit and then see after a few months what the community is doing regarding hybrid cars.

Now there's going to be a whole group of Jack***** just going around trying to get people banned
 
So they are actually banning people? This is confirmed.

Possibly... We'll have to just sit back and see how this cookie crumbles...
 
Watch out for sailor man, he's going to be busy with report button :lol:

I have an old no hybrid save as backup just in case, now I might need to use it :D

That's OK he will just get reported for harassment simple as that.

:lol: I've seen a few guys on this site with that same threat, whatever but these guys will do it. IIRC there was a guy saying he was reporting everyone he sees in hybrid bragging threads etc that had their psn tag on there profile by your avi.

Oh brother.
 
There is still quite an abundance of hacked lobbies... With any luck, this will weed out the immature 12 year olds as well as the multi million horsepower cars... Double bonus?
 
lets see how realistic these hybrids become now

Alot are realistic.
 
He's just being a smart aleck, I guess a better question would be 'how authentic does a hacked save appear'. They can see it if they are looking imo. I bet they banned the guys who used them in the seasonal tt's.

I truly hope these will be temporary bans. Even though some of y'all have been 'mischievous', the cause of this is IMO related to the DLC drought. C'mon PD, pull your finger out & give us GT6 already. We know its finished :grumpy:
