Occasionaly I pull out the old PS2 & throw in GT3, just to drive the 20B JC Cosmo & 12A turbo S1 RX-7 they used to have in the game. Why they junked them & put more MX-5's......only the Japs know. Maybe they believe the world goes up & down, not round & round!

yeah i'd pay that.

GT3 criticism: improve AI and menu system

GT4 criticism: improve music and AI

GT5 criticism: improve sound, music, UI and menu system

GT6 criticism: improve sound, music and AI

did anyone take advantage of the 20 million glitch in version 1.01, i was about to update and thought i would gave a look to see what the update actually did as i just wanted to have a race then and there, lucky i did as now i'm 20000000 richer...one thing i cant stand is having to grind races to get cars and GT6 was looking like some epic grinding was going to happen given how stingy they are with the prize cars.........anyway thought i would mention it incase anyone hasn't updated yet.

I'm with Warps. GT6 can stop trying to call itself a simulation. If you put racing slicks and a brake upgrade on a fiat, it will not do forward somersaults in downhill braking areas (eg at Bathurst Forest Elbow). Also, if you put slicks on a porsche it will not go into a slow motion roll over if you touch a ripple strip at high speed. "Simulation" my arse. GT6, your new physics model is a POS!

lovit!

i built my car in gt6

It is a game, sounds like someone needs to ease off the throttle a little... :P

I've done a couple of the seasonal races. the one with the Hudson was interesting. I'm pretty sure the online record is about 7 seconds faster than the gold time. the gold time wasn't a walk in the park (I only beat it by half a second), so how they found another 6 seconds is beyond me (although I haven't looked at any replays of their runs to see if they have found some way to improve the times)

It is a game, sounds like someone needs to ease off the throttle a little... :P

that's right, it is just a game. perfect for a boiracer :P

forward somersaulting cars and slo-mo rolls in a porsche with slicks are not minor little things in a "Real Driving Simulator" that's been making a big deal about its new physics model.

It's the worst GranTurismo by a long way. Stupidly easy in races and licence tests, way too much grip factored into every tyre, really poor modification modelling. It's little more than an arcade racer for 12yo boys now.

that is a gross exaggeration, most complain about mass understeer.

If you can't drive and are doing flips and shit, thats your issue. plus I love the personal attach on my name...which is obviously very serious. :P

Warps, the FWD model is now very good. But gravel still blows the proverbial goats.

driving physics...not crash physics. the damage and crash model have gone a bit backwards, I assume because they need to scrape every bit of proccessor together to get the game to run smoothly. I've noticed a few things that seem a bit strange or wrong...but not enough to have a rant and complain about how a PS game isn't real enough. I'd love to see a 12 year old throw a car around the Nurburgring whilst using a decent rig.

this isnt a comparison thread.

No mate, it's a criticisim of the driving physics, not the crash physics. Fit slicks (Racing Hard) and racing suspension to a Porsche (RUF RGT) and touch a ripple strip at the apex of a high speed corner and it goes into a slo-mo rollover. That's the quality of GT6's driving physics. I can't say I've ever seen a porsche demonstrate that tendancy int he real world. Nor the forward somersaulting Fiat with brake upgrade and slicks. Again, that's the driving physics. But by all means, when I see the Fiat Arbarth 500's doing forward somersaults at the next Bathurst 12hr, I will retract the scathing criticism of GT6's physics model. Until that happens, this is unquestionably the least realistic version of GranTurismo. There is no exaggeration in that, whatsoever. And they are just two of many examples.

boiracer - don't get me wrong. As I have stated before, I've enjoyed playing the GT games (GT3, 4 and 5) for what they are. I know they have always marketed the series as the definitive driving simulator (or something like that). No problem - I'm not gullible enough to swallow the marketing blurb. However, when forum members start claiming that the physics are "realistic" I take notice.

The stuff that Harry mentioned is exactly why I don't consider GT a proper sim. Those issues in themselves are probably not enough to stop me wanting to play the game. However, it's all of the little things that add up, like the FWD and gravel physics (previously mentioned), unrealistic tyres overheating (GT5 sucked for that!!), slicks being faster in the rain than rain tyres, the way you could man-handle the car with massive amounts of steering lock and throttle application and not pay the price, cutting across grass and not losing grip, bumping other cars out of the way to gain position, the stupid AI and much more. Any one of those things in isolation wouldn't be a problem, but when you add them all together it just detracts too much to keep me captivated.

Have had lots of fun playing GT3,4 and 5, but they all seem to be slight iterations of the previous releases without enough new content to make it worth buying. Maybe Gt7 on PS4 might be enough of a leap forward to make me want to spend. Shall wait and see (my son is harassing us to buy a PS4 - I keep telling him to get a job and buy it himself)

Oh, and they need to fix the clutch glitch in GT5. It misses gear shifts if there's even the slightest amount of wheelspin. How well do you think that works on gravel?

harry, I tryed to replicate your flipping Abarth.....no luck. dodgy crash or not, your hitting things that hard that a SIM would just pronounce you dead. I love my RUF and my VW's, both of which need suspension love before driving well. Most other expensive cars drive best with stock suspension (but where's the fun in that)

Warp I know what you mean man, but as far as im concerned GT has always been like this and thats why I continue to love it. It is not a SIM, and with a good wheel that becomes more and more apparent. But for a Console you cant beat it.

For me it's the perfect cross between SIM and Fun. the ability to drive hundreds of different cars, around 32 tracks and more than 70 layouts cant be topped :) Having said that I'm already 60% through GT6, too soon!

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
