I meant in GT6. Is there mechanical damage in GT6? I didn't see a setting for it discussed.

I mean that car
If you stick behind other car then even 480 is possible for some time.
Transmission set to Max Speed (480) with all engine upgrades obviously.

It works, it's just really finicky apparently.

So damn true. I never understand people who are so upset by standard cars that they actually want to see them all removed from the game outright. I don't have an issue with any of them, because I play from the bumper camera angle anyway.
Edit: A significant part of the reason why I agree with you is that a lot of the standard cars are "touring cars" or otherwise race-tuned vehicles. The Altezza Touring Car (35k credits; basically the best car you can buy early on) is a very unique vehicle, for example. It's the first car in the game I've driven that doesn't seem to have a clutch.

Yessss C6 race car is even more of beast in GT6. This car will actually eat some of the lower LMP's for breakfast.

It's a terrible song, regardless who plays it. Their live performance of the song at the VGA 2010 wasn't that great either (still kudos for playing live).

And yes, the thread title is idiotic. It's neither good nor clever in any way and it's not like GT6 would need one anyway. When you have people asking what the hell it means, then you failed, imo.
Finicky in gt6 or g27?

The clutch is weird in GT6. As far as I know, they patched clutch implementation in GT5, and it's the same in GT6.

Don't even care about clutch as much as I wish they would model the transmissions correctly where sequential, paddle, h-shifter, etc and what type of cars have full throttle upshifts, lift upshifts, no clutch down shifts, etc. The clutch would be great for the lower level cars but for race trimed cars you would only find yourself using them in the pits and those non existent standing starts. Or better yet, buying that upgraded transmission would allow for easier clutchless shifts, whatever that physical component change of a gearbox is. I forgot if it is the cut of the gears or the syncromesh, etc.

whoever said the framerate is better than academy @ 1080p is just wrong, i just completed my first 5 lap arcade race on bathurst as a test and it's way worse, when you go up and down the hill it's got to be hovering around the 30-40fps mark, it also has some terrible juddering.
as with academy 720p is the only way to play.
and now to start the career.

I've had mine over a week but working in the industry has to have some perks to beat the horrendous hours! I get my 'proper' copy of GT6 Anniversary Edition tomorrow.

I found the article about PD's endeavor to capture the Ring. Kaz went there in Winter 02/03 with 20 men, but because of snow they couldn't capture everything of the track immediatley.
They went with plan b. They had 5 two week trips for the whole project and when the weather was bad instead of capturing the track they would visit the German automakers.
They used satellite imagery, construction plans from Nürburgring GMBH as well as plans from the surveyor's office. The difference of the virtual and real track is just 15 millimeters.
On top of that they drove the track with a truck several times which had cameras mounted on it on all sides and was equipped with a laser scanner.
Those scanning sessions took very long because they drove at just between 5kmh and 10kmh. During scanning they didn't listen to Britney Spears as I said before but to Japanese covers of her songs
Nissan testdriver Hiroyoshi Kato, who at that time already testdrove cars on the Ring for 15 years, served as track consultant for PD. Last but not least they got telemetry data from several different autmakers and racing teams like Abt Sportsline.
Sorry for the badly edited text, but I hope some of you got a little better understanding on how PD captures real life tracks. Info could be an old hat, but there are always people out there learning something new

Because you say a song is terrible does not make it so and you are still yet to say how the title can possibly be idiotic. Also by way of your logic if the title is a fail then every in joke ever conceived is a fail. Either centuries of comedians are wrong or you are wrong, take your pic but be warned, one of those answers is idiotic.

Yeah, that I understand. I used to get my copies weeks in advance too, Sony was amazing with getting games to their journos quick.
But I see a lot of people with the game who aren't press. :'(
which one is GT6?

Gt planet mentioned that every European pre-order would get a pre-order bonus. Because of that info I bought the game at the lowest priced online store but didn't get a code anyway. Anyone else with the same problem?

Does the US version of GT6 on PSN pre-load?

Well GT5 had and GT6 uses the same car icons to show damage... so I guess it have... GT6 was made using GT5.

Still up in the air. iRacing sub recently renewed, really don't like microtransactions, despite indications that it isn't egregious in GT6. GPS shit seems to be in a "coming soon state" so who knows how that will turn out, and that is the only really progressive addition to GT6 imo. Shitty frame rate in cockpit at 1080p is also concerning since I play my PC sims at a rock solid 120fps and am used to that.
On the other hand.. dat good ol fashion GT hype train. Just came way later this time and I am having a lot of fun with Bathurst in iRacing so driving 1000+ cars on it in GT6 is appealing. I also loved racing in NGRL with GT5. Those were the highlights of that game. If only I could get it for free. That would solve everything.

Music is obviously a matter of different tastes and all that, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who dislikes the song in the intro. I see it as some stupid promo for their album that came out back then and it was absolutely unnecessary. I'm sure there was a good reason PD changed the song for the Spec II intro.
As for the title, it's not really funny, when it's an inside joke and it's definitely a problem with many OTs on GAF. I don't think the game needs a subtitle, especially not with that classy OP. It simply speaks for itself.
I also don't get why you're so offended about someone not having the same opinion as you do. I'd suggest you calm down and relax a bit. The game is out soon enough and we're all going to enjoy it, even with its obvious and annoying flaws.
e: If it makes you happy, I have no idea when I can play the game, because the shitty online retailer I bought the PSN credit from, didn't send me the last code and now I don't have enough funds to buy the game on PSN. I got 40 bucks on my account and I'm waiting for the last card code to get to 60, so I can finally buy the game. Karma!

Just been reading the manual (link) and the online section says "Once you acquire you National A License in career mode, Open Lobby mode becomes available".
Does anyone with a copy of the game know when you can do your National A License? How much single player do I have to play in order for this to open up? In GT5 I seem to remember I could do the licenses nearly straight away (but then I could also go online nearly straight away) but I'm not sure if this is still true of GT6.
Some friends and I were going to have some early morning shuffle races just after release but I'm guessing that won't be possible now until we have all sunk an hour or so into single player?
Also for those wishing for more advanced lobby search functions, the online manual alludes to them being essentially the same as GT5:
- Room mode ("All", "Practise/Race", "Race with Qualifier")
- Track
- Race Type (As per GT5, "Race for Real" etc)
- SRF
- Region
- Show Full Rooms
- Friends' Rooms Only

Dunno how it would translate to Euro, but I imagine most retail stores in the UK will have the normal version of GT6 at £40 to £45.

I hear ya. Was really looking forward to the match-making and clubs/communities options that were gonna be implemented. Instead they were removed from the game with the 1.01 patch. That kinda deflated my hype, since online will be no different from GT5. The only thing I have to look forward to now is the new physics. If that fails to impress, then back to iRacing it is.
14 hours to go
Yeah, this gutted me. It's like I'm paying $60 to play GT5 again.
I'm not press so I'm under no embargo
However I'm a massive GT5 fan and have played every weeks since it's launch 3 years ago. GT6 is significantly better than 5, the career mode gives you loads to do and so far I've bought only two cars but I have 7 in total from winning with all golds. The physics are amazing and the lighting is much better than GT5 however this has all come at a cost. Physically modelling tyre deformation and suspension as well as updated lighting and rendering techniques have hit the performance quite hard as has been noted by other in this thread.Friday.

guess we'll get a patch in 6 months that downgrades the graphics to help the framerate just like in gt5
Yes but just like GT5 which evolved massively in the years after launch those missing features in GT6 will come in time. Early next year afaik.
I'm not press so I'm under no embargo
Have you tried 720p? Any noticeable performance drops?
Shame about framerate dips in 1080p. I wonder if they'll keep optimizing it in patches.

You're pretty tinfoil hat about some of the things in GT.
Yes they will. I play in 720p at work and don't notice any significant drops but occasional tearing. However I play bumper cam it's worse in in car view apparently.
That would be near 48 euro, near impossible in Italy (standard prices here are between 60~70 euro. But thanks for giving me hope
