If you would told me that it`s the next-gen GT I could belive you. Nurb at dusk will blow minds once again.

Wow, soooo much better (down shifts!) - adds a ton to the immersion. This should be their top priority for next installment: put in only existing premium cars, the same track rooster from GT6, 1080p@60fps, nothing more BUT give me that sounds. That`s all, mission complete.

Knowing Polyphony, they may choose to render at 2k or 4k 16:9 for GT7 when everybody else is at 1080p, they did it last gen with a higher resolution than all other racers minus RR7.

Personally, I hope they render at 1080p and give us something like 8x Msaa with it, just throw in detail after detail and improve everything else that needs an overhaul. Can't wait for GT6, I played a bit of the academy and technically the colors pop a bit more and there seems to be more track detail but it didn't look as crisp as GT5 on my 1080p screen, I hope it was not the AA method they were using, I just prefer a sharper, clean IQ look.

I'm calling it that GT7 on PS4 will be higher than 1080p and suffer from screen tear and framerate issues (We have already seen their 4k test. Which felt like a future hint).

For some reason, PD feel the need to push the console to breaking point, rather than settling for the safe and reliable method. It irritates me.

they better not

1080p +4xmsaa n some post is all it needs

and 16x af you wankers, its 2013!

100% although 4xMSAA is really, really expensive. It can halve your framerate. Maybe they should go for SMAA instead. Or use Sony's custom AA solution.

Two things should be a priority:
1. IQ
2. Framerate

This is what matters to me the most.

 

[velociraptor]

Forza shot is a complete misrepresentation of the game. The final game doesn't look anything like that.

 

[Red Blaster]

obviously the x1 would be absurdly fast

but that reminds me that the sense of speed in gt5 wasn't very good, in gt4 it was a lot better. hopefully gt6 resembles it more than gt5.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Lol. I don't know - this wasn't an issue in GT3 and GT4. I think GT7 will be 1080p60. I'm sure it will look good and run well.

Yes, they've already proved they can make a good looking racing game. I mean hell some of the shots of GT6 already look good enough compared to Forza 5 being a current gen title.

We've basically established that PD has like 100 to 150 employees give or take. Now if they could just put 50 of these guys (OR HIRE MORE!!) to improve the overall audio, most of the long standing complaints against the series would mostly come at rest (Who am I kidding? They'll just find something else to focus their annoyance upon)

But yes, 5 days left and good times to be had.

Get your Wheels / DS3's / etc preferred control method ready.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I have a idea or event planned for GT6 to get those of us picking up the game, a competition of sorts. I have the details in notepad, might be something interesting to look forward to.

GT4 was a very special game.

Did you drive GT5 in cockpit view? Because in GT4 the only alternative was bumper view, and that naturally feels faster.

Here's some photo mode shots I stole from GTPlanet:

This game is absolutely gorgeous. The image quality is so damn clean.

Yep, it's sad and disappointing at the same time. Kaz has this urge to up the ante and boast GT as a technical showcase, nothing wrong with that IMO. It's just that the time and resources for those could be used on something else (one that actually improves the game as a whole be it sound, collision physics, new gameplay mechanics, etc.

 

[phosphor112]

Early promo shot vs direct feed cap. We can probably conjure up a better comparison. Lol.

 

[kanuuna]

Does Gran Turismo 6 feature motion blur in gameplay, or is that a replay shot?

 

[Niks]

The Ascari event is tomorrow right? Anyone knows if theres going to be streaming, or is this event just for press?

 

[Emwitus]

The bottom one has more realisitc lighting

 

[The Stealth Fox]

I dunno, I think the GT6 shot looks very very good.

 

[Emwitus]

Oh snap
:O

 

[Honey Bunny]

I think the point of the comparison was that the GT6 shot holds up to the next-gen Forza one. But using a promo shot for Forza is still a misrepresentation, whether it looks good or not..

 

[phosphor112]

I know but still a bad comparison.

 

[dalin80]

Some mention on GTP that the endurance races have gone and been replaced with '24 minute' challenges. Can anyone confirm or deny this as if that is the case then it will mark the point I give up with what was once my favorite series.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Wait, what? That's GT6 in game?

Off screen low bitrate captures tend to hide a lot of imperfections. It still looks impressive though.

No way. There HAS to be endurance races...

 

[The Stealth Fox]

No way. There HAS to be endurance races...

From the GT6 website:

There are also events that recreate the feeling of endurance races in a much shorter period of time.

I guess overall community feedback said no to endurance races. Hah.

The GT website does say this however:

An environmental simulation based on the longitude/latitude position of the track is performed for real life tracks. For example, the Le Mans 24 hour race in the game will actually simulate the rise/setting hours of the sun and night-time constellations in the sky from the event in 2013.

Damn it.

 

[Diablohead]

Great OT. That subtitle is terrible though.

I'm guessing you don't get the joke related to Moon over the Castle or something...?

 

[Vicetrailia]

PD will never get rid of endurance races. They're here to stay, additionally we will get that 24 minute thing as well.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Yeah. Is there a Le Mans 24 minute race and does it endorse something like "24 hours in 24 minutes"? We need a list! Since the website endorses 24 hours of Le Mans with real time weather and time change simulation, I doubt it's gone.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

GT6 has snow racing???? Hnngh

PD will never get rid of endurance races. They're here to stay, additionally we will get that 24 minute thing as well.

:/ Endurance races are so shitty though.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Integrated B-spec.

 

[jello44]

I remember GRiD doing that as well.

But you had the option of driving Le Mans how ever long you wanted.

 

[vio]

1080p +4xmsaa n some post is all it needs

1080p 2xmsaa + fxaa + 16x af + motion blur at 60fps. That would be perfect.

 

[Calibus]

Actually looking forward to GT6. I haven't played an auto/racing sim in ages. Pair this with Drive Club and auto fans are set.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

From Boabdulrahman at GTPlanet

There's a 24 minutes of Le Mans. LOL.

Time to get worried! J/K, I'm sure if enough people petition they'll add 24H of Le Mans as a seasonal.

 

[Bunta]

There's no way there isn't endurance races.

 

[Furyous]

From the GT6 website:

The GT website does say this however:

Yes! I hated those races. Does anyone remember that two hour endurance race in the rain in GT5? Thank god these races are over.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Maybe these are alternatives for people who don't want to run their consoles for 24 hours straight.

I'd figure there was the choice to make it optional. Give 4 / 6 / 8 / 24 hour races for those who want true Endurance events, and the minute equivalent races for those who don't want to have their PS3's running that long.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Could it be that they finally ditched those stupid endurance races (The only things stopping me from the Platimum Trophy)!? Please be true!

 

[paskowitz]

In fairness, the 24hr races sucked because the AI could never keep up and when you race on a large track like Nurb or Le Mans 16 is just not enough to keep things interesting. I do not blame PD for taking this route at all. The only fun part about the long endurance races was doing stints with your friends/family and jumping out of your race seat (w/ffb wheel) at each pit stop. Good times.

 

[dalin80]

Endurance races were the best part of the game. If they are out then so am I.

 

[Niks]

Yeah, I guess they had metrics on how many people actually raced the 24 hours races, and it was a very small percentage.

 

[Pungza]

Never saw the point in endurance races, you could get a substantial lead over the AI after 10 laps. Then you're just racing your self till the end.

 

[Prophane33]

I've played every GT game and I've yet to do one endurance race. I think I usually quit right at that point. However, 24 minute race sounds great. There should still be a longer option for those that do enjoy doing actual 24 hour racing.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Enduros should never be a mandatory for 100% in a GT career mode. I think the last time I did an enduro event was in GT2.

They should be optional. I think they should offer it as a seasonal just for extra cash.

 

[CouchMaster]

Off screen low bitrate captures tend to hide a lot of imperfections. It still looks impressive though.

Actually it adds a lot of imperfections of real life, unlike the game which looks too sterile and clean. That's why tiny offscreen gifs of GT5/6 look so life like compared to direct feed shots.

 

[Maastricht]

Never saw the point in endurance races, you could get a substantial lead over the AI after 10 laps. Then you're just racing your self till the end.

This. And once you have kids it's hard to find the time. If you could get an option but not a requirement for completing the game that would be great.

 

[ironcreed]

I know I never messed with the 24 hour races. That is just insane, even if you could save your progress and come back later.

 

[OmegaDL50]

The way the 24 hour races were handled in GT3 and GT5 were unrealistic anyways. The game expected the player to handle the entire race by themselves.

Not even in real life endurance races does a single driver, drive for all 24 hours, in fact official rules state that Endurance Races are handled with a team of drivers and must swap in rotation.

GT4 handled this somewhat accurately in that you could swap with the B-Spec AI driver, and then resume control later on and such.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Gah I'm debating a wii u purchase vs gt6+g27 wheel and stand.

It's brutal...been a forza guy since that franchise started but after the forza 5 bs I am debating the switch. Just a lot of money to get my 360 setup on the ps3, and the wii u has several games I am eager to try.

Gah!

Wii U. I love GT but there are some great games on the Wii U.

 

[gokieks]

The "S - Super" in the top makes me think those are tests for the S License, unless they changed the way those work.

I'd be shocked if actual endurance races were gone, especially now that the B-Spec mode is integrated again.

Nah, that's the way events are laid out. License tests are listed horizontally, also there are less tests per license now. Events are locked behind licenses now (like back in the day).
