Gran Turismo 6 Demo Coming July 2013

If you’re eager to give Gran Turismo 6’s new driving physics a try for yourself, you won’t have long to wait: the official PlayStation UK site has confirmed a demo of the game will be available to download on the PlayStation Store in July 2013.

The demo will also be used to host GT Academy 2013, which was also announced at yesterday’s “15 Years of Gran Turismo” event.

Thanks to christara321 for the tip!

    I hope it has that light car rocket thing. I’ve been wanting some low downforce open wheeled cars for a while now. They can be so much fun

  2. panjandrum

    There are some cars in this video that I really want to drive. Only comment I’ve seen so far that makes me worry is that the physics model is “easier”. GT5 is already WAY too forgiving with the current physics model. Not saying it isn’t basically realistic, because it does feel pretty darn convincing, but even with all assists off it is still simply too easy to recover from mistakes. It’s as if they got it all pretty good and then programmed in way too wide a safety zone. If that zone gets bigger instead of smaller, it’s really going to kill the challenge of the game.

    Can’t wait for the day when Gran Turismo release a fully open world for all the cruisers out there. Something like Test Drive Unlimited and Forza but with GT’s driving physics would be the end of the other gaming competition.

    1. TomBrady

      Have you tried TDU 1 on the PC? With a wheel? I think you’ll be quite happy with it if you want an open world racer that has good physics. Driver San Fran seems good too but I don’t know if that owrks with a wheel

  4. TheGTGuy

    I was wondering is a premium car converstion considered as a new car in GT6, for instance the Lamborghini Countach is premium in GT6 and standard in GT5, so is it apart of the 200 new GT6 cars or not???

    1. mr_pepps

      Good point but I’m guessing we treat conversions as new.
      Convert the Veyron and add the SS badge please?

    1. HuskyGT

      They surely fit. I don’t think the number of Premium cars is determined by the PS3’s power.

      However, I don’t imagine PD converting all cars to Premium status in three years. If they did, I simply wouldn’t know what to do. I would literally go nuts and probably suffer a stroke due to the happiness overload.

      And remember they haven’t said anything about Premium or Standards. They just said they are carrying over the cars from the previous game, which could mean they just transferred the standards how they are, or they could’ve very well upgraded from a handful to most of them, or even all of them.

      It’s too soon to tell, but I can tell that Yamauchi San has something up his sleeve that we don’t know about yet. Get ready to be surprised.

    2. TomBrady

      Amount of cars is limited by the bluray disk. They might need to disks but the PS3 can handle that, it’s a matter of storage not power.

  5. StiggyGT

    GT6 needs El Capitan, Yosmite rally, SSR 11, Midfield, Interlagos, that kind of stuff! Guess the demo will only have Silverstone though…

    1. ajtaidavid2000

      Yes, but in the Trailer I saw the map of SS11! Stop at 0:29, take a snapshot, zoom it out and in the left hand corner you’ll see the map of the course! No joke!

    2. Whitefalcon63

      I’d like to see the test track from GT4. That had every kind of corner and good for testing out different set ups. It will be interesting to see what the new course creator is like. I’m a little tired of the blind apex at the top of every hill.

  6. vwtechnician

    Any word on potential improved integration of steering wheels/pedal setups, particularly the G27? The clutch is pretty terrible and the steering could certainly be better. I hope they’ve optimized this one for a wider variety of wheels. Other than that, extremely excited for this game (and the Audi S1….finally!).

  7. sangdude82

    I’m hoping that every single track in GT6 will have full time & weather change options. Not to mention that they should be available on 2 player mode as well…

  8. SvenB1984

    Improved physics is a must in GT6. In my opinion following things are off in GT5.
    – When you go racing closer to the edge it’s still to easy.
    – The rotation of some cars feel realy awkward, when you’re behind a wheel & pedal set. In Nascar-cars it’s just completly off, they are just to tight when in control. (as an example)
    – And the biggest error in GT5 is the way the chassis & springs react on bumps, curbs, jumps and turns. Resulting in way to stable car handling. Has anyone ever made his car bounce a few times when you attacked a curb or catched air?? I hope working with KW, they get it right in GT6
    – 1 last point, the way tires just “are”. The grip, wear, AND PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS….! How did they “forget” about that in GT5?

    And now i stop…i don’t want to sound like i’m a hater, and still play for 10 hours each day, like many.
    I realy do like GT, i always have, and that will possibly stay that way. It’s still a fun “game” that many enjoy en teaches many things about how to drive a car. But like i wrote, it’s still a game. Where as iRacing is a simulator.

    Cross your fingers, hoping they learned some thing or 2 about iRacing.

    1. tpark103

      You sound like a savvy racer car fan. These are that would make any sim more realistic. I hope they add these too. We shall see.

    2. SvenB1984

      Thx tparkt103, and yes i am. (a direct rival of Wolfgang Reip ftr, but by a dumb run on 2nd day didn’t make it to Silverstone)

      Nice too see someones share my opinions, realism is what I seek!

    3. Stephanos82

      Why don’t you play LFS, NetKar Pro or Rfactor?
      Personally, even if I believe LFS is the epitomy of driving sims (anyone who says otherwise, I’ll shoot him :p ) I find Rfactor more fun because of the many mods (DRM, Blancpain etc) and hundreds of tracks!
      BUT, if they get the physics right this time it would be awesome! 1000+ cars, tens of tracks, huge comminity – gosh it seems like a dream!
      I only hope Kaz has played lfs and got some ideas of how tire and susp physics should be done ( cause in all honesty i believe all these partnerships are bogus) lfs, rfactor, netkarpro never had to partner to get it right!

    1. sk8er913

      Yes, they definitely need to fix that. And looking at the gameplay footage they fixed the bumps/suspension a lot. And I 100% agree the car is too sticky to the track. Although some cars are more realistic than others, the 04 M3 feels nice

  9. Kite

    I wish to see the return of Special Stage Route 11. It hasn’t been in the series since GT3 and I’m shocked that it hasn’t made an reappearance yet. Give it weather dynamics, and I’m sold.

    1. HuskyGT

      It will be in GT6. It’s technically confirmed. We don’t know if it’s the original GT1 version or the GT3 one though. One thing is for sure; I bet it will have rain at least.

    2. DigitalBaka

      I do remember running GT3 races in wet conditions there, so I would hope that they bring that over to GT6.

    3. mistersafeway

      I don’t remember any wet races in GT3, but it was a long time ago. I did think the first wet race in GT was Tsukuba in GT4. They should bring wet Tsukuba back… :)

    4. HuskyGT

      Yes, there were wet tracks in GT3. I’m really not sure if it was SSR11 though. It was certainly a SSR track. And does anyone remember that circle track in the license tests? The one you did with a yellow C6 Corvette? That one was wet too.

  10. tpark103

    200 new cars is a whole lot of cars. The only confirmed cars are the few that we’ve seen on the GT site and theres a few that most of us whom follow closely have seen or heared of PD taking pictures of. With the exception for that short list it leaves room for………….. As its been reported the details remain scetchty and I’m sure thats for more than one reason.

    1. Tintorera

      Well…There are currently 1109 cars in GT5(mygranturismo.net) So with 1200 cars in GT6 that would make 91 new models.

    2. LEGLESS77

      91 new cars is more cars than some raceing games total car list. With the addit ion of Bathurst almost a certainty I would hope to see the addition of the v8 supercar class which will take a chunk out of the 91 additional cars.

    3. sepulturite

      It’s been confirmed that there’s going to be 200 new cars in gt6, not 91, it was in a couple of the stories on here.

    4. hobanator24

      I say we count the new cars to see exactly how many ‘new’ cars will be in GT6. So far, we have the Tesla Model S, KTM X-Bow R, Audi Sport Quattro S1, Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3, Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3, Ferrari Dino 246 GT, Light Car Company Rocket (Feature above) & the Alpine A110 1600S ’68.
      The reason I count the Alpine as a new car, is that the one from GT5 is a ’73, not a ’68.

  11. GRAFX21

    I hope if not mentioned yet. They discontinue the whole. “Chase The Rabbit” Events. I would like grid starts and pole positions from competing cars. Make it a challenge. Not a rabbit chase between me and the AI in first place… I want to feel like I am making good passes and filling the gap. Not just worrying trying to not make a mistake because the AI was braking checking me off a turn because I “peeked inside the lane and backed off”. lol

    I also hope we can dress the cars better with more custom livery.

    Better mutliplayer connection. ( I have fast/reliable internet too) sometimes the lobby has difficult connecting and log off issues.

    I am excited for GT6 and had been a fan since day 1. Another note while on top of my head would be to cancel all cars that have 40 hp etc. Whats the point. Maybe 4-5…but I really do not think we need more then that. lol

    Just my 2 cent donating.

    GT6 Bring it on!

  12. gt5racer97

    I would really love the Citta Di Aria track make a return into gt6.Despite the fact that was and it is a very tough track to drive on but still its a track where I enjoyed a lot back to gt4 and I would really love to have it on the demo and also on the full game. Cannot wait to play the all new gt6 game because it rocks! ;D.

  13. Nuuj

    Can’t wait to sample the Physics and AI, I hope they made an effort to create more of a feeling of Aggression and Desire to Win within the AI, for me (personally) over-submissive AI was the most glaring shortcoming I had problems with..

    I’d still buy GT6 either way, but it would be infinitely more fun and replayable with Computer Opponents who made A-Spec Career/License/Arcade/Endurance Races more Challenging..

    1. ScotteDawg

      Good choice of cars there my friend!

      I would like to also see a DeTomaso!

      But, what I’d REALLY like to see is – Holden (old muscle and new), HSV (Holden Special Vehicles – cream ya jocks modern muscle), Ford Australia (old muscle and new), FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles – modern muscle), Chrysler Australia (old muscle only) and all the Holden, Ford, Nissan and Mercedes of the 2013 race series held in Australia with yearly updates as with the NASCAR on GT5 (including new makes of cars that WILL enter the series)!

      Then, I would like to see the following tracks from Australia – Bathurst, Adelaide (GP and V8 circuits), Hidden Valley, Winton, Calder Park, Oran Park, Phillip Island (it used to be an F1 track in the 1950’s and 1960’s, went quiet, and now used for MOTOGP) and the Gold Coast Indy Circuit!

    2. sangdude82

      @ ScotteDawg

      yes, I’m dying to get some Aussie cars on GT6. We had few of them in the GT series before so why not bringing in some more?
      of course, they better me all premium cars. I’m hoping that PD had time to scan some HSV & FPV cars + other Aussie tracks while they were in Australia to scan the Bathurst :) I would love to drive a HSV E2 GTS on Bathurst!!!

      p.s. I reckon they should bring 2013 Australian V8 supercars into GT6 since their partner Nissan is back into the series.

    3. HuskyGT

      Although we don’t know, the SRT Viper GTS is almost guaranteed. PD might not have a love for American sports cars, but they’ve always been faithful with the Viper, always adding the newer generations since GT1.

      I know it’s much to ask, but I would so love to have a Premium first gen ’94 Dodge Viper RT/10. A terrible car for most, but one of my dream cars.

  14. topolino

    no porsche or premium RUF’s i think….. hopefully polyphony get the license for gran turismo 7
    but for example the Ferrari FF and the Ferrari f12 Berlinetta etc.
    these are ” must have” cars
    I’m nervous about gt6 because you can easily destroy the game before it comes out just with the car list…
    this would be a crisis and definitely the last mistake for polyphony

    1. Nuuj

      I’m sure there is no Porsche, it would’ve been BIG news, but I’m hoping a RUF or two get a Premium Makeover.. And some of those 200 or so new cars have to be Heavyweights, and we are supposed to be regularly treated with DLC too (though GT5 didn’t quite hold to it’s claims)..

  15. infamousphil

    As a scrub, l cain’t feel much. Especially with a controller. PD already does a great job with the different types of tire, drivetrain and suspension evolution. It’ll be nice if they differentiated between standard and upgraded break systems.
    GT5 reluctantly they gave us “damage.” I’ve been waiting to see burning hulks at trackside ;) It seems appropriate now since I’ve noticed a “PG” rating on a recent GT6 video.

    They could, depending on the severity of the damage, faze from hobbling to disabled to full blown blazes. I haven’t seen that since le Mans 24. Not the Y2K edition. It was the 1999 one with the scaled down version of le Mans.

    1. TokoTurismo

      Nope, can’t be. At least from what I’ve heard from someone on the forums that said the physics have greatly improved.

    2. Efiv12

      My understanding is that it is the newly developed physics engine that Yokohama and KW susp. helped PD come up with.

    3. Pit Crew

      ^ Well more like KW and Yokohama Helped PD to integrate the natural feel and characteristics of tires and suspensions on to the Physics engine of GT6. With that said the driving and physics of the car while being driven by the user will feel difeerent, though PD was pretty close with what they had.

  16. Easy D1

    I just want more Mustangs. The new ones whip new M3s. At least a 1970 Mustang Boss 302. Or maybe just give us a new IndyCar.

    1. Starciller

      It’s just fact that European cars turn better than American cars. And your right the only time a midrange can beat an M3 is on the straights but that’s it.

    2. HarVee

      Yeah, just keep feeding the stereotypes guys, you’re doing a great job for humanity and civilization as a whole!

      /sarcasm.

  17. XxDARKRAIX

    All these people complaining about sounds, the sounds where really accurate to the stock premium cars. I think the sound is fine and they should keep it

    1. Efiv12

      My main point of contention is the race exhaust on a C6 ‘vette. I marshal SCCA events and the sound is not even a close representation.

    2. RobDoggy05

      youtube RaceRoom Racing Experience, (F2P on Steam)
      Go hear how the cars accelerate, change gears and decelerate, sometimes even miss a gear.
      its not just about the sounds, its the way the audio gets delivered while pressing it to the max, so calm, smooth and breathless.. Nothing like the brute force of a real car. Its the combination of the two that makes the monumental issue.

  18. HarVee

    No GT6 prolouge and an actual free downloadable demo? They must really be satisfied with this GT title. Anyway, I’ll give it a go in July.

    1. infamousphil

      As a former Audi 5000 turbo owner, it’s wonderful to see the S1 in the game. So what challenged the S1 back then?

    2. infamousphil

      Group B Rally “The Sound” – YouTube

      well dah! I didn’t realize… hope they all get the premium treatment. Man! Those were the days. The insurance industry has really sanitized life as l once knew it ;(

  19. Hellburner

    I just hope they upgrade the GT5 cars and not just copy/paste them. For instance change the Dodge Ram to a Ram SRT10…

    1. PTK

      Nah I’d rather keep the dodge ram because it’s 4WD and if they had the SRT10 version it would just be another slow piece of junk like the SS concept..

    2. ScotteDawg

      Kazunori Yamauchi said, at the release of GT5, that he needed two more years to complete the game and make ALL cars premium! We got a taste (albeit a small taste) of that when one of the DLC packs included the Jaguar XJ9R LM Race Car as a premium vehicle!!
      In effect, we got an incomplete game in GT5 – GT6 is what GT5 was supposed to be… Kaz’s dream for the PS3!
      As for the PS4, PD has to start from the ground up because absolutely EVERYTHING will be new.
      GT7? I’d say the end of 2016!

    3. brianblaze

      So much optimism and pessimism in one group of comments lol but the SRT10 RAM would be sick… excuse my language

  20. dadadoo2

    I’d love to see smokey mountain make a return as DLC – the boxer rasp of an integrale or a scooby would set it right…

  21. BaconDrift

    Hopefully the sounds are improved come the final game. I’ll still be buying it, but I’ll be disappointed if the majority of the cars still sound like Vacuums.

    1. Both Barrels

      HAHA right on ScotteDawg, my pedals massage my feet with the vibrations from a lot of cars.

  22. MrMahad

    What if the track DLC every month is re-release of all the classic GT tracks i.e Seattle, Grindelwald, Red Rock. That makes the most sense to me.

    1. ps3finest

      It certainly would be a good way to kill my wallet. I would end up buying every single one. ;)

    2. Nuuj

      You and I both, its a perfect strategy to increase Profits because NO real fan or veteran of the GT series would turn that down lol..

    3. Pit Crew

      It would be nice to revamp the classic courses from GTs past but many real world courses should get the call and be included too. Especially tracks used in events that all GTAcademy Grads to this point, have been competing on.

    4. ScotteDawg

      I agree with you all!

      However, I want Australian tracks, not just European and American!

      Look up Bathurst on you-tube! Only the greatest track on Earth! Former F1, NASCAR, WRC, MOTOGP, BTCC, DTM and Indy Car drivers ALL want to drive on it!!!

    5. mistersafeway

      ScotteDawg, they already scanned it, so it’d be a surprise not to see it. We DO need more European tracks though, there are only three licenced tracks that actually get raced on for real in GT5, which is matched by the US. Americans may be fascinated by Indy, Laguna Seca and Daytona, but Europeans (Gran Turismo’s biggest fan base) are more interested in European and Asian… actually, tracks with decent corners. lol

      I’m seriously looking forward to blasting around Mount Panorama for the first time and hopefully getting to see some good tracks from the US again (Seattle and Infineon, anyone? Please…?).

    1. Pit Crew

      ??? The Demo is included, so thats another thing to expect. We play the demo. We participate in GTAcademy…

    1. Pit Crew

      There was never gonna be a Prologue… that was a rumor the community hyped up Not PD, Kaz, or even Michael Denny.

  23. HuskyGT

    This has been the longest day EVER. I don’t know if I could survive waiting for the game. It’s not even June yet!!

    1. Starciller

      I like how everyone was all like, they need to tell us what’s going on with GT6 they never tell us anything. But the day they tell you things people blast it and say they wish they told us later. Kind of ironic really.

    2. nascarfn

      I’m happy there telling us stuff… i just wish they would tell us how many cars and tracks will be in the demo i don’t need to know what they are just yet (if they would tell us that would be great but i don’t expect that) but i would like to know how many.

    3. Pit Crew

      I would assume the cars we saw in the trailers will be in the Demo. They’re the same cars Jordan had a choice of when he was in the Car select menu in the video. looks like 8 cars.

      Lets not start the “they never tell us whats going on” debate when the information’s right there.

    4. tpark103

      We were getting restless with all the hybrid cars creations. It was was time and the birthday celebration was the perfect opportunity to give us just enough info without letting the Forza develpors know everything that they have going on so that they can one up them.

    5. ScotteDawg

      Husky, stay calm, don’t blow a gasket!

      e30, it’s should HAVE not should of – learn to type (speak) English!

      Starciller – spot on!

      nascarfn, it looks like there may only be three layouts of Silverstone in the demo. Drop a line to Jordan and ask him.

      Pit Crew, we only SAW eight cars, but I think there could be more that weren’t onscreen!

      tpark, Forza could NEVER one up the GT series – NEVER in their wildest dreams…

  24. NoonenF1

    Super excited for the new GT game, the demo will be nice to whet my appetite until the holiday season (assuming the release date isn’t delayed)!

  25. SavageEvil

    Just wondering why do people want Costa da Almafi that place is rather narrow and would be absolutely no fun with more than 2 cars, I played it in two player in GT4 and it’s unbearably tight and claustrophobic. It’s actually worse than TGTT for multiplayer and that is saying a lot.
    Would really enjoy seeing Tahiti Circuit, Red Rock Valley, Mid-Field Raceway and Grindelwald…actually every track that was ever in GT would be welcomed minus that aberration that is Route X, what a stupendously useless course and bloody huge, you need 40+ cars to take advantage of such length and width.

  26. TomBrady

    I hope the demo has the Light Car Company Rocket in it. I’m most looking forward to that car and cars like it. I hope that’s not the only open wheel car or track day car. I’m sure it’ll have some F1 cars but I want some classic F1s, some track day road cars like the ariel atom, caterham, Caparo T1, and most of all the Radical. Above all though, I want the Lotus 49. Funny thing is, I bet if GT6 does have the Lotus 49 it’ll still be out before iracings version. And I thought GT games got delayed, this is just one car and it’s over 6 months late. And these people charge you up the ass for content too.

    1. GTP_sahkojanis

      The LCC Rocket looks absolutely lethal. If that thing fell over, you’d certainly lose your head.

  27. Rionmoon

    I’ve been kinda critical of GT6 and PD recently…but the more I think about it…the more stoked I am about GT6.

    The again it could be the beer talking but for the moment I’m a little excited to at least get something new to do

    1. GTP_sahkojanis

      To me, these games are like new movies, pure entertainment. They don’t have to be perfect in every way, because there will always be new games.

  28. mcalva98

    READ!!!!!! I found special stage route 11 in the GT6 trailer! It is at 0:31, you will se high speed ring and on the left under it SSR11 is there!!!!!!

    1. OmarBaez53

      I think it is the GT3 Version, i hope they add the GT Version too, the most famous of them is the GT Version after all.

  29. Pit Crew

    Off Topic: Interesting, a day after Sony/PD big Silverstone event some New Images of DriveClub appear to be floating Around. Coincedence?

    Jordan and Amar weren’t kidding when they hinted (early May) that PD/Sony had some nice things lined up for the fanbase. Be nice if some fresh Seasonals showed up between now and July. Something to keep us Occupied…for those still occasionally playing

  30. Elitekilla29

    Looking forward to the Demo. Game is looking pretty decent so far can’t wait to test it out.

  31. mcalva98

    Are these the new tracks coming to GT6?
    Silverstone
    Willow Springs
    Bathurst
    Seattle Circuit
    Apricot Hill
    This is the only 5 that I know, what are the other two???

    1. gtone339

      Don’t forget Pikes Peak, Grindewald, Midfield raceway, Seattle Circuit, Special Stage Route 11

    2. mcalva98

      Apricot hill was in the NSX trailer, bu idk about pikes peak, It would make sense for them to put pikes peak because of the Audi rally car?

    3. TomBrady

      I’d bet on all of those since they’ve all been in trailers made by PD in Gran Turismo.

      I’m also praying for the Macau City track, that track makes Monaco look like a walk in the park. And really want them to bring back Costa Di Amalfi and El Capitan

    4. Pit Crew

      I doubt it TT The OPs 5 and the 2 I mentioned are only ones with trailers or have been confirmed by gtplanet and other Reliable gaming sources :tup:

    5. mistersafeway

      Pit Crew, Mount Panorama and Bathurst are the same thing, Mount Panorama is the track name, but it’s often referred to by the name of it’s most famous event. SSR11 was spotted in the trailer pretty soon after it was released and part of the press release mentioned “highly requested fan favourite tracks”, which it most certainly fits into. :)

      For possible future DLC I’d guess more of the same and maybe a full version of Pikes Peak, because of Red Bull’s slip up a while back, their involvement with the press release (unless it’s for another X vehicle or something similar). I’m also hoping to see their collaboration with Peugeot for this year’s event eventually in the game.

      Sorry for the long, dull post… lol

  32. BkS

    For those of you in the UK, GAME is now taking pre-orders, I pre-ordered my copy today. I’m stoked! Don’t really care for the engine sounds all that much. Just the driving and photo mode!

    1. TokoTurismo

      Don’t forget to create tracks and make car clubs. :)

      Once the pre orders begin in Canada, I’m pre ordering right away. :D

  33. L2D_J-kirb_

    I hope the drifting is good! Gran Turismo sponsers the D1GP drifting organization, so it would be great to see more of those cars. This is great news..can’t wait to play the demo.

  34. biftizmo

    Is anyone thinking about the cross platform capabilities ..what will this intail ….face book, youtube, gt planet, and gt5 all rolled into one…….I’d also like to see collected data and best lap replays shared.this will really bring us together…teams and events will be kicking of everywhere….leagues ..FIFA for GT…FIGTAA…there will be GT champions …I,ll be up for transfer if the conditions are right….ha ha…Kaz was right don’t pay the fat cat F1’ers for the privilege..we will build our own …u’ll see….our little game is tacking over the world….make em pay polly..

  35. ILoveCars

    What we get in the demo is what we get in the final product. So if sounds aren’t improve by the time the demo comes out you have to wait till gt7 hopefully all this complaining will make kaziyamakaki listen to their customers. Come on it’s not that hard to record the engine exhaust. If anything better gear transition sounds that is all I am asking.

  36. Halcyon925

    It’s amazing to see that it has taken half the time to make a game that has the potential to beat it’s predacessor. And there is a demo of it coming out in a month and a half. PD, you always never seize to amaze me.

      If you like, you can think of GT5 as GT6 prologue. After all, the platform is the same, and the new game is just a refinement of the old one.

    2. Neilson248

      @GTP-sahkojanis GT6 is practically all-new, the code for the game has been completely rewritten and the physics engine is all-new not to mention graphics seem to have been improved quite substantially

    I really hope GT6 has more premium drift/time attack cars. There has been so many incredible drift cars in D1 the last few years, I’d love to see them in the game, and not just the Japanese tuner factory ones, but stuff like Mad Mike’s Red Bull 4 rotor RX7 in the D1NZ. To be honest, that car alone would do me. They needn’t have bothered with the other 1199. Only kidding. Can’t wait. Deffo need a D1GP DLC tho. I’d so pay extra for that.
    People moan about the sounds but I bet those same people cant wait to add titanium racing exhausts which instantly cause the tinny hoover sound and I bet they race with the speedo/rev counter view which has worse sound than the view that shows a bit of bonnet. Its like moving from inside the car to outside. Much more engaging sound. They should just replace the dials view sounds with the bonnet view sounds for an instant and easy (i imagine) improvement.
    There’s so many cool aspects to this game that have gone largely unnoticed like the points I’ve just mentioned. Such as drifting online in race mode instead of free run mode so that you can download the replay afterwards from the race results screen and use photomode to snap lovely smokey tandem drift shots with the warm, sepia and cool filters.

    Oh wow this is great news! I’d love to have a go in the Light Car Company Rocket ’07 as it looks like it could be a lot of fun to drive, I love open wheelers and having had a track day in one (Formula Ford) they were really nimble and quick despite having a 1.8 litre engine. Love all the car’s that have been shown so far, the Alpine I am really happy is there as I enjoyed using it in GT5, and the Audi Sport quattro S1 is just a legend of a car. So can’t wait to try out the demo.

    1. Quakebass

      And it’ll continue to build till E3. And then the demo in July. THEN the news will start to die down.

      But I think people should stop jumping to conclusions on sounds and standard car models until there’s more info and gameplay released. There isn’t enough to get much data out, anyways.

    2. MuoNiuLa

      I don’t see how people think there won’t be standard cars of some kind. Do you really think PD made 1200 cars of equal quality in 3 years? Impossible.

    3. Pit Crew

      ^ Agreed Muoniula Standards will be back. It was pretty much confirmed during the event. We’ve debated how long it takes to model the Premiums before. I don’t think anythings changed to the point they could make 1200 Premiums. The Consistent DLC will eventually add to the Premium total but thats it.

  39. XPOWER180

    For once, their release date actually seems like it will happen! Things are looking good and if history repeats itself, the even numbered entries in the GT series were always the best.

    1. Carlos Fandango

      Not literally of course, but I see GT6 to GT5 as GT4 was to GT3. A finished version of the original concept

    2. ScotteDawg

      Yes, Carlos, GT6 is what GT5 was SUPPOSED to be!

      EVERY car premium, more cars, more tracks etc., etc….

    3. Pit Crew

      Cars from GT5 will be in GT6 Source Kaz. No evidence yet Standards will convert to Premium so…

    4. AERO_HDT

      I like the Prologue games! They’re great fillers! And @ Carlos, well, GT6 to GT5 to GT4 to GT3… the whole thing is an evolution from the original concept (GT). GT6 will not be “finished”, because if it was, there’d be no need for GT7.

  40. carfanatic45

    If the demo is July, I say around Thanksgiving time would be the full game release. Can’t wait!!

    1. WangansGodHand

      @nascarfn, GT5 came out in November. “Holiday” doesn’t necessarily mean Christmas.

  41. Mr_Hansen

    They also sort of confirmed the Australian track Bathurst. I know we already knew Polyphony had been at the track, but It’s the first time I’ve heard Sony mention the it.. It might just be me being slow though ;)

    1. sangdude82

      I hope that PD scanned some of the Australian road cars & v8 supercars while they were scanning the Bathurst.

    2. ScotteDawg

      I’m not holding my breath for it to be in the game right away.

      I expect it to be a DLC!

      Most likely at the end of season 2013…

    1. Mr. Apex

      Yeah, and my little pinky tells me it will include a road-going 1990 M3 E30 Sport Evolution. Surprise, surprise. And all of a sudden you’ll forget about the Espace F1 and the Escudo Pikes Peak.

      Muhahahahahaaa!

    2. e30 freek

      If the e30 is in the game my 13stone body would just fall flat to the floor… OMG im SOOO excited its gonna be greaaat

    1. Mr. Apex

      Better forget about that, it’s Gran Turismo so almost everything HAS to sound like a vacuum cleaner. That’s the law.

      Some crazy scientist should write an iOS app or build a nifty device to read out RPMs from GT titles and deliver the engine sound we are craving for trough the speakers. Would sell like hotcakes!

    1. Slonkoo

      I hope so ;)
      @TOKO, dude pliz keep spreding the good vibes here on GTP.
      U r amazing. Love reading your posts dude. Cheers :)))

  42. liampage123

    Nice! I hope the demo cars are so of the new cars. Especially the light car company car thing.

    1. HuskyGT

      I bet it will only be a GT Academy Fairlady or an R35. If the other cars are include, I’ll go officially nuts and won’t be able to resist downloading it.

    2. 05XR8

      If they let us choose the cars from the reveal, I’ll only be using the SLS GT3 and NISMO GT3! LET’S GO!

    3. 05XR8

      Yeah, the S1 just looks too good! I hope it makes the “crackle” and “pop”(no snap ;) ) every shift!

    1. another_jakhole

      haha I’m trying to get an answer from someone who knows for sure. It could be two, three days from now.

    2. UrieHusky

      Really? Because I would have thought Jordan would know better than anyone when he’s releasing the Q&A.
      But I guess he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

  43. Eks

    What do you mean it’ll host GT Academy? Does that mean that only GT Academy members will be the only ones able to use it or do we all get to use it?

  44. aronh17

    Thanks for all of the hard work Jordan. I’m excited to read that Q&A session, I always love reading them.

  45. jhw93

    Neglected to see the ‘demo’ part in the demo and got extremely excited lol. But yeah this is still pretty cool, we will be able make proper comparisons between GT6 and GT5 when the demo is out.

    1. Tvensky

      +1 news from all over the place… quite chocking.. didnt expect that kind of action from GT so soon :)

    2. aronh17

      It does make sense that now they know the PS3 platform better and it’s easier to get everything settled. PS4 will be the easiest, so GT7 may not be far out from GT6. Prorbably another 3 years.

  46. HuskyGT

    Won’t download it. I will not spoil the surprise until the full game gets released. I must resist…

    1. tpark103

      What? Haha forget that my friend. Get your download on and enjoy a little taste test. Your a true fan you deserve it.

    2. ExplodeTheApex

      I am wondering the same Husky! Should I resist the temptation or go for it? Dilemmas, dilemmas (but good ones) ;) haha

    3. HuskyGT

      It depends. On one side, imagine if other than the almost guaranteed GT Academy Nissans, they include one of the new cars like the Audi. Honestly, if that’s the case, I highly doubt I’d resist the temptation.

      But then we would go through what Jordan went through. The demo will feel so damn great that we won’t go back to GT5. So we are left with just a demo that feels amazing and a game we won’t want to play anymore XD

      At least it will only be for 6 months.

    4. hobanator24

      It would only be about 4 months from the time the demo is released, so the wait won’t be that bad. I really hope this news finally shuts up all of the release date criticism. PD wouldn’t release a demo if the weren’t positive about the release date for the game

  47. ZedMan1996

    DAMN! I need to get a new PS3 then because my PS3 for some reason can go online but cant go on PSStore but my previous one could. I’ve got all my DLC out there not able to reach me if I cant get a new PS3. DAMMNITT!!
