My last diss while playing GT6. I always use in car view. When I was doing 60 - 90 MPH I felt like I was barely moving.

Then I turned on F4 and I felt like I was flying at those speeds. The sense of speed is just better in F4.

That depends on the vehicle, in my saleen I had I felt like I was doing 60mph At 100mph, so that argument could go both ways

I'll take GT any day over Forza, and yes, I have both and have put a lot of time into both. Forza has some great features (rewind not being one of them) but GT has the better driving dynamics that make it more enjoyable. I like the modification aspect of a racing game with Forza obviously getting the nod on detail there, but it does have some over the top conversions which ruin it imo.

But when I get the urge to play some sort of racing game it's always for GT because of the driving physics. I could care less about putting any more time into Forza.

I'm glad GT6 is coming out for PS3 cause I don't plan on getting a PS4 for a while, or at least until I get back from Japan. So that will give me some good games along with BF4 to play on the current gen consoles.

GT5 has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Between the very JDM centric car list, to the way to short A spec racing, broken PP system, incorrect HP and price specs for American cars and outright lies about DLCs IE they said we were going to get DLCs every two months instead getting 3 in a few year I dont know if I want to by 6 or not. IMHO Sony needs to shake up PD staff and get some fresh American and European blood in PDs delopment team and get GT back on track.

Not to mention horrid car audio. The game is biased towards japanese and european manufacturers as well I want to like it so bad because gt and gt 2 and 3 were amazing.


Maybe because we didn't have anything to compare it to?

Decided not to download gt6 demo... Was about to but seeing some of your comments about how it feels and looks the same kinda swayed me to just skip it.

Tuned- Check these out and DOWNLOAD THE DEMO!!!:
GT5 vs. GT6 Demo: Side-by-Side Comparison Gameplay Videos
GT6 Demo Graphic Performance Analyzed by Digital Foundry

I tried the time trials and currently have silver for the first run. I think with a few more laps I'll get gold and be happy... One thing I noticed, there doesn't seem to be an e-brake to help drift a little???

The difference is not night and day, but there is a difference in not only the way it looks (better) but also the way the cars handle. Being that it's a free demo, just download the damn thing and give it a try... Worst case is you delete and move on.

I for once HOPED they finally got the exhaust sounds right. PD failed me once again. I remember hearing the 370Z on start up on the Academy demo (when you chose a car, you hear the car starting up), put a smile on my face because it sounded like a true VQ engine. Hearing the car when playing the game just made me sad once again. Still too early to judge it vs GT5.

Hey guys,

I'm gonna be starting up a purely GT5 YouTube channel. I have proper recording and editing equipment.

I am going to be doing time trials. I'm going to ask members here, as well as others to give me a car, and a track and I have to get as fast a lap time as I can. I have bought all the DLCs. The cars you tell me have to be easily obtainable, and if you want me to add any mods, you'll have to tell me which ones.

Any starters?

Hey, guys.. Will there be any racing events coming up? I'm an avid fan of GT5 and I love racing online with others just as long as the room is set up right.
