5.) There's still no qualifying in the campaign races. Wtf is this? Or is it something that appears in the later parts? IA maybe? If it doesn't, I'm taking a dump on the box.

That's lame. Are they even aware the are making a simulator?

Can you import your GT5 save in GT6, like cars or money?

No, it doesn't acknowledge your GT5 save at all. They could have at least given you a starter car and some credits for being a return customer.

That's sad. Polyphony definitely missed the boat in this gen. I remember importing something like 1m credits from GT Concept to GT3 back in the day.

they give you the Vsion GT Benz FOR FREE right from the freaking start.

seriously are all of you playing GT6 using some POS honda for the first few hours LMAO, after maybe 15/20 minutes i was running the Benz.

1.) The graphics are definitely not as sharp as before. Say what you want about motion blur and lighting, but I can definitely tell that GT5 had better looking car models and environments. I think this is something that PD knew about, and this is why you don't have the option of looking at your cars in different lighting patterns anymore (in GT5, you could change it in the showroom).

2.) However, the frame rate, loading times, and number of things available on screen has definitely improved as well. I think that the races load two or three times as fast now.

3.) The UI is very well thought out and very easy to navigate. Since things are so much faster now, you can get from one thing to another much more quickly.

4.) The race layout is much cleaner and more intuitive. Before, the licenses felt really useless and now they've integrated them into the main campaign nicely. Recommended cars and having all vehicles under their respective showrooms (instead of that dumb used car section) are definitely helpful.

5.) There's still no qualifying in the campaign races. Wtf is this? Or is it something that appears in the later parts? IA maybe? If it doesn't, I'm taking a dump on the box.

6.) The sounds of the engines still need work. If I hit a car or a wall, there's this dumb glitch where the car just suddenly sounds like a vacuum cleaner, even though the gear didn't change.

7.) What's with the in-game music? It's like an homage to 80s rock and roll rejects.

8.) AI is still stupid, but hopefully it improves in higher difficulty races. I'm running cars well under the performance point limit, and I still haven't come close to being threatened to losing once.

All in all, GT6 is GT5. The differences are very very small, but it's definitely a better game.


I WILL DISAGREE ON OPTION 1

OVERALL GT6 IS THE BETTER LOOKING GAME THAN GT5, its clear as day light to me

gt5 many times i didnt want to use the snow tracks etc due to bad pixalation this is all but gone, the cars look terrific and the tracks are extremly detailed

i loaded up both just to check and gt6 has an improved game engine



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Yes that's a nice car, I used it in the first set of National A races. Makes it way too easy though, struggling with pos honda is more fun :p

Anyway that's besides the point, it's just a nice touch to at least say welcome back. Even AC4 does it, and I'm not even playing it on the same system. For example it would have been really nice if they gave you access to your GT5 cars in arcade mode.

Agree with everything, I really am enjoying the game and I do feel the price tag is justified.

I will say that GT7 needs to have some vast improvements because 300 more cars and 5 more tracks isn't going to do it for me.
And I'm getting tired of the emphasis on the stupid Mazda, there's freaking like 25 Mazda's and they all look similar???
Granted if it had more European or American cars then the Japanese would be complaining so not a big deal. Just wish there were more Mustangs.

Mazdas? There are 147 damn Nissan cars in this game. It's just ridiculous. And at least they have the GT500 and the Boss 302 in this game. They still don't have a Camaro ZL1, the new Z28, or even a 1LE. All they have is the old heavy Camaro SS from 2010.

My biggest gripe atm is that my music won't play in the career races. It works in the menus and special events, but in career mode I'm stuck with the crappy in game music.

Wonder what the issue is, mine plays perfectly fine (most of the time)



struggling with the POS honda? i breeze through the campaign with it, non-upgraded. shows how shitty the AI is.



Thanks for the heads up. im shocked PD would release a broken game.



I'm currently doing the night masters event. Night driving has been much improved, looks very good.
Sliding my pos Honda around in the night, great fun.
