Take that back you scum!

Seriously though, what's the obsession with the AE86 about? Is it just Initial D?

Yeah, the AE86 is mostly because of Initial D, I'd say. Of course it helps that it was Keiichi Tsuchiya's car. It's just one of those cult Japanese cars, imo. e: Same with the Supra. No one would say it's only popular because of the first The Fast and the Furious.

 

[panty]

Why hasn't anyone asked Kaz about the Supra? Cmon, it's THE japanese sports car and it's not a premium.

 

[saladine1]

But they did upgrade some standard models and you'd think they'd dedicate time to upgrade some of the more popular and classic models, like the AE86, Datsun Z432 or the Supra Mark IV. It's a huge shame that those cars are still treated as unimportant, while they completely modeled some shitty Alpine.

I would've loved to see every classic Japanese car made into a premium.

Mazda 110S
Honda 1300
Toyota CELICA 1600GT
Honda CIVIC 1500
Nissan BLUEBIRD 1600
Isuzu Bellett 1600
Mitsubishi Lancer 1600...etc

I love those cars...

Its very weird we havent gotten both those cars. I mean both being japanese cars and all...

But yeah especially the ae86. That car is a big part of the car culture in japan. (Drifting and modding).

 

[Curufinwe]

So I cancelled my PS4 preorder and am now thinking of getting GT6.

Is this wheel still the one to get if I don't want to spend too much money?

Yeah, people say the pedals aren't great by any standard but the wheel is decent for the money.

Insert a thick sponge-ball under brake pedal and you're good to go with the DFGT.

 

[Foffy]

Does anyone know what from GT5 is not returning for 6? I think the Top Gear stuff isn't, but I don't know of much else.

 

[sportzhead]

I have a Logitech DFGT that is in great condition that I don't use anymore if anybody is interested. PM me and we can try to make a deal.

 

[Gouda Jouji]

Here's a list of the changes made to the GT5 car list.

 

[Racer1977]

Does anyone have an idea how much HDD space GT6 would take up in terms of the mandatory install, and a theoretical amount for DLC (lets say 3x what was released for GT5)?

I'm considering a dirt cheap PS3 just for GT6, was wondering if the 12GB model would be adequate, wouldn't really consider stretching to a 500GB model.

GT5 installed about 8GB right away, and I believe the cache grew up to 12 GB over the course of automatic installation of content and DLC.

But you can get a bigger hard drive separately from the PS3 and install it yourself, it's easy and may be more cost effective.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Yes getting a new HDD for your PS3 will definitely be more cost effective.

(Largest drive size PS3 supports is 9.5mm, 2.5 SATA laptop HDD or SSD drives)
Here's a recommendation - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SX0ORA/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Also since many people don't realize this, Sony shows you how you can do this in the official documentation that comes with a PS3 console, there is even instructions on the official website.

https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)

You will need three things. An external USB storage to back up your PS3 stuff, A Phillips screw driver, and copy of the latest PS3 firmware from Sony's website.

It's a simple as four steps.

http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/backuputility.html
1) Using the PS3 back up utility in the PS3 System Menu, back up all of your saves, dlc, psn games to an external USB storage that is big enough to hold it.

http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/index.htm
2) Copy latest firmware to the USB storage in a folder directory named as follows (PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP)

3) Remove HDD from it's compartment, there is a door on the system that pops off and the HDD held in this compartment like a cartridge secured by a single blue screw and sliding lock. Once the drive is removed you'll see the enclosure, carefully remove the 4 screws securing it, swap it with the new HDD, reapply the 4 screws, put drive back into storage compartment, re-lock the drive, put back on blue screw.

4) Turn on PS3. If it asks for firmware, plug in USB storage and install it, If not, go to back up utility in the PS3 menu and restore back your DLC, saves, PSN games, that is stored on the USB storage. After this you should be up and running with a bigger HDD

After this you should be ready for any PS3 game install, DLC, digital game, etc.

Happy Racing!

New news at japan GT site says, that digital PSStore version of GT6 will be available and it weights 15GB, so you will need 30GB of free space just to download and install it. After installation it will be bigger than 15GB for sure (uncompress). Add patches, DLCs, (probably) optional movies as separate downloads, etc so I will say that 60GB is ok. Go for SSD if you plan to use it only for one game (that small size in now cheap and it will give tremendous boost to loading times vs HDD).

The First Vision Gran Turismo is a Mercedes-Benz

For a project celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Gran Turismo series, famous brands from around the world are designing unique sportscars that will be given as gifts to players of ‘Gran Turismo 6’. The project is called ‘Vision Gran Turismo’, and the first commemorative car to emerge from the project in its grand opening, is a Mercedes-Benz.

A teaser image of the “Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo” that will be appearing shortly, has been released on the Mercedes-Benz official Facebook page.

Please look forward to more updates coming soon.

Thanks for the info. I may go digital now.

My GT5 data is about 14GB so this install wont really hurt, especially as this game will be my last for the PS3.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

I love how you always have these expectations and demands that are impossible to fulfill and it seems like you know very well that nothing you want is going to happen.

gps course maker happened and moto gp bikes will happen

mobile app or website definitely needs an import/upload option.

That`s because of legal and license matters of track recreation in game: you are gonna be limited to only driven by yourself files.

gps mapping won't be a 1:1 copy of the track/venue so they shouldn't be legal issues.

what's the deal with project cars and their fictional names of real tracks?

 

[OmegaDL50]

So how many of these Vision GT cars are there going to be?

Sounds like an interesting project. I've always had a fondness for concept cars.

Like the Cadillac Cien, Ford GT90, and Citroen GT.

It's always nice to virtually drive something that may never be made into a production car.

18, but Kaz has said that there are some manufacturers that they haven't confirmed yet.

I am ready for some awesome concept cars. It makes me wish they upgraded some old concept cars to premium, like the VW W12 Nardò. But it's great that we're getting new ones as well. This is the stuff that makes PD really special.

I worked 3 month I the factory in Moscow that makes them. Was there for the new line inauguration when they went from only making Logan to producing both with sandero. It's pretty awesome if you ask me. Car factory is like real life Gi joe base to me. It's amazing to work and wonder in there.

But from my time on the line there isn't room for a V16 in the sandero haha not in the regular spot though. Behind the driver would
Be okay and crazy now I want to see one

Simply amazing marketing and unbelivable support from manufacturer such as MB.

That is one ridiculously slick looking automobile. What are the odds it has a sweet combustion engine instead of one of those Fuel Cell/Electric/Hybrid deals?

 

[Metalmurphy]

I just remembered, now that the PSN friends limit is 2000 filling up the GT5NRL account is gonna make GAF races a whole lot easier.

This ofc, assuming they'll still be using the same lobby join system.

Since clubs can be created now, I don't think it will be necessary unless they have a limited member count.

And Vision GT is one amazing project, looking forward to see the specs of that mercedes!

I was not expecting actual, physical concept cars out of this effort. Polyphony must be impressing these manufacturers a great deal to get this sort of commitment from them. Amazing.

Look at the GT by Citroen. That was also a collaboration project between PD and Citroen.

They actually made 6 of them.

I always loved the GT by Citroen.

"Okay, so this thing uses this fantastic hydrogen fuel engine and …"
"We don't have that."
"What?"
"A hydrogen fuel engine for that car. We don't really have that."
"Okay, fuck it. Put a monster V8 in it. That will do the job."

Paint it black and we got a new Batmobile on our hands.

Speaking of Batmobiles, how come we haven't seen this one in GT yet?

Do the heads of Maybach think they're too good for puny video games?

Do the heads of Maybach think they're too good for puny video games?

Maybach was discontinued in 2012, which was a formerly a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz.

The S-Class Mercedes basically are the replacements for the Maybach line, However since Daimler AG still holds the rights to the name, there is nothing preventing PD from getting the rights to use a Maybach vehicle, I mean PD had to work with Daimler AG to get Mercedes-Benz cars in the game.

Including the Maybach Excelero would be nice though. Even the Maybach 62 Zeppelin, or both even.

The 62 Zeppelin is super heavy, 6000 lbs. It's powered by a Twin-Turbo V12 with a top speed of 177 Mph, but has a 0-60 in 5.1 seconds which is phenomenal for a car that heavy. It comparable to a Bentley Continental GT SS which also is equally heavy vehicle (5100 lbs.), but with a higher top speed of 203 MPH (329 kph)

 

[Niks]

Batmobile concept by mercedes.. not liking it too much tbh.. Still, as mentioned, incredible support from manufacturers to actually go and make a real car out of this concept.

A fun video of Kaz drifting for the first time in a pro drift car.

 

[Jedi2016]

Speaking of Batmobiles...

Man, I would love for them to make a Fantasy Car Pack DLC, with a bunch of BS cars from movies and such. I say DLC because people complain that things like this would "ruin" the game, so make it optional. I think it would be fun as hell.
