Yeah, it's awesome in touring cars or normal road cars, in LMP's it's a bit silly. Part of the problem is the GT progression where almost all the decent quality racing is in the LMP races towards the end and they force you into some silly tracks at times.
Well, that's good criticism, but it would come off much better if this wasn't on screen while he was delivering it:
:/
It is good critism indeed, right on the money! What I do not get though, is why they do not use a steeringwheel at the Gamescom to show people how great this game will be!
But I guess all Thrustmasters are sold out then.....

That's just another method of visualising the logged data. There's nothing to indicate google maps has anything to do with the course maker.

So the maintenance is over, and no update so far. Have we had an unannounced maintenance period that wasnt followed by an update?

it's happening, mate.
gps course maker will use the satellite images from google - it will then process the image and kml data to identify points, after it's crunched the kml data to build your layout, it will then populate the environment with chosen theme assets to get a similar look as the real world location.
greatness awaits!

thanks for ruining the unreleased course maker, i'm sure whatever comes out, it won't be anything like this. it would rock so hard if it was true

Am I out of my fucking mind, or is the Enzo Ferrari one of the shittiest super cars in the game? I suck with it, sure, but even when I feel like I did a really clean lap, I can get a better time with a car of similar PP level.
EDIT: Yuss, new chrome color. To call the Pagani Huayra godly would be an understatement.

Best fucking deliver. I don't mind hype, but I'm always skeptical of the "we can do everything better than the competitors hur hur hurt"
With that said, he has a point.
I don't doubt that they can deliver better engine noises and sound than GT6 (though that doesn't really make you best in class either) but whats I find really interesting is when he mentions being best in class in terms of crash physics, I have yet to see a 'sim' get that stuff right.
Though judging by the crash that happens at around 3.56min into that same video, it doesn't really fill me with confidence that these guys are doing anything special in terms of contact and damage... wait and see I guess.
GRiD (1) was about the only game to have convincing crashes.

The TVR Cerbera Speed 12 is such an odd car. Acceleration is monstrous. Just absolutely untouchable. But not only that, it's virtually impossible for it to lose traction, even on non-racing tires. I'd floor it out of tight turns, and never lose the back end.
Yet, it's extremely light, but can't turn. Is it possible to tweak the suspension to make it turn? This thing could be just absurd if I could get it to turn. (It's still pretty damn good, despite not being able to turn)

Kaz took the ALS challenge from Dan Greenawalt. Lol

That's some record response time from Kaz.
Should have started it with the Polyphony Digital title card and Daiki Kaisho music.
Missed opportunity. Kaz could have trolled so hard...
Changing the time zonw in the console solves that within one hour if you can catch the Bishkek offset where there are 4 timezones in one hour period in 15-mins incresements.
Sounds like a lot of faffing just to get some pretend money to buy pretend cars.
Think I'll just hotlap my Z4 at RBR until GT7 comes out.
It is done in one hour Mascot
Ah, I might give it a go. But then I'll be locked again into that ridiculous cycle of making sure I boot GT6 up every day to avoid fiscal punishment.
BTW, since I got my new display for the cockpit I see what you mean about 1080p in GT6, Amar. It's a world away from the 720p dot-matrix ditherfest. Framerate doesn't seem to suffer too badly, either.

Bloomberg TV channel, they put the video on line here: http://www.bloomberg.com/video/asto...ning-the-supercar-am6DRP3BSDuYIFFlWIEZbw.html

I find it very interesting that GT6 sales figures are not published in any way. The 70m mentioned in the piece is still GT1-5. This was mentioned on GTPlanet as well. 2.25m downloads would likely represent about 90% of the active GT6 player base. I wonder what percentage this is of total GT6 sales. 50%? 75%?

All we know is that the game sold 440.000 retail copies in Europe during H1 2014. Considering that the game came out in December 2013, you might as well round it up to 1M (depending how strong or weak the launch was).
That is not a lot.
Considering GT6 was arguably one of the worst entries in the series (from the perspective that it didn't change much from GT5 and in some cases, went backwards), I actually am happy it did not sell well. Nothing is more humbling and jolting than bad sales numbers. Hopefully this acts as positive motivation for Kaz and team to change their approach for GT7.
Where did you get that figure?
This might help, only estimates, but still:
Early sales figures for Gran Turismo 6 suggest that its selling at a much slower rate than series predecessor Gran Turismo 5. In just over a month since release, sales figure tracker ******** reports a total of 2,077,064 units sold globally compared to GT5′s 5,066,169 units sold between November 27th and December 25th 2010.

Trying to install the game at a friend, but patch installation is taking an eternity and was stuck at 2 min aprox. And standing still for 90 mins. Restarted the ps3 and now it's telling us to wait 800 min. My friend is telling me the patches download took about 3 hours and installation has benn taking the last 4 hours.
Is this normal?

I wonder how much of an effect on the sales numbers were due to releasing GT6 one week right after two highly anticipated next-gen system launches.
A big effect imo.
I don't remember much of a marketing campaign either. You could argue that underwhelming sales numbers are deserved, I probably agree, but no doubt it was compounded by outside factors. The pertinent question now is if they address the issues in the game or if the takeaway is going to be, "well I guess we're not as infallible as we thought, better take a closer look at how/when we release the next one."
I can't decide: was August amazing, or not?

GT6 is dead.
Save game data has been decrypted:
free credits, all cars, hybrids, special menu, etc for all...

It might actually breathe more life into the game for some existing owners. Those who struggled with the credit grind, for example.GT6 is dead.

How does this work then?

It needs somebody to develop a save game editor like the GT5 one, the person who decrypted the data said something should be coming soon.
Damn, everything will be even more delayed now.
In another perspective, congrats to the guy from programmers point of view, GT6 was the only console game ever with the 2-layer security.
