Probably a good idea.


On a sidenote, one of the more annoying features of GT5 is still here. Having to turn Traction Control/ABS off whenever you drive a vehicle for the first time. Why can I not set this to default off?!?

The logic is right, having individual settings for each car. Just needs a default setting somewhere!

Thats what I was getting at. The other annoying thing is that it is not a realworld abs or traction system.

Just worked out you can't roll the Caterham, just resets when you get it over 90 degree's.

Interesting. Came close to rolling my s2000 earlier. Hopped a curb and 2 wheeled a while.

I've rolled cars plenty of times, especially at trial mountain. The car still does that weird floaty slow roll over weirdness.

On a similar but unrelated note a lot of cars seem to do endos on the matterhon track.

I thought I noticed an endo on Matterhorn. It was at night so I couldn't be sure. I figure it's because the AI have extra grip or something to that effect.

In terms of the rollover, the gravity seems alot better in this compared to GT5. Curb hopping and jumps in general feel pretty good.

I grabbed a Shifter Kart tonight, and boy that is great fun! Can just throw it in everywhere just need to watch out for any raised kerbing. Only issue is they don't let karts on tracks with time change for some reason, so couldn't try it on most of the new tracks, but was great at laguna!

I've had a copy of this since about a week before launch (perks of the job) and I'm still yet to even take it home.

If I plug in a G25 will it just work without dicking around? I know jackshit about consoles. My PS3 is exclusively a BD Player LOL

X11 is a blast around Bathurst. Almost under a minute after 10 laps and haven't even started tuning the car yet. Skyline @ 350 kph, Conrod @ 480 kph haha.

Also managed under 2 minutes in the LCC Rocket '07 (my second favourite car ;))

Absolutely over the game now though, just got to IA races and its really turning into a chore.

I've got to the super class and indeed it does feel grindy. Certainly haven't finished all races so far just what's necessary to move on.

A glitch in Gran Turismo 6 is allowing players to acquire 20 million in in-game currency by selling the same car over and over.

The game’s latest patch (1.0.1) gifted everyone a Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision, and enterprising players soon realised the car could be sold, the patch uninstalled and reinstalled, and the process repeated.

Selling the car nets the player 20 million credits each time – the maximum amount of cash allowed.

Bullshit. It reckons it can't be sold. I probably tried after a it had been patched. Lame

And I thought having the 1,000,000 from the Anniversary edition ruined the game...

I have had my total over 1mil without the anniversary edition so far, back down to around 200k now though.

20mil would certainly be enough to sort me out for plenty a while, why you would need more I do not know.

So, is it worth getting? Just wondering about suggesting it for someone to get me for Christmas.

Trouble is I haven't played GT5 very much. It all got a bit samey once I'd got a couple of cars and done the license tests.

I personally have never enjoyed gran turismo without a wheel. So that's a must in my opinion.
Also the singleplayer is as repetitive as you would expect.

I'm still having fun found some fellas who enjoy clean racing online with comfort/sport tyres and lowish pp cars.

Really it depends on why you might want the game. Pretty cars and graphics. Sound isn't brilliant for engines but the "engine" is pretty good.

If you found gt5 samey then this isn't much better. Although yet to see how varied the seasonal events may be and or dlc.

I finally took it home last night. How the hell do I update it. I've never hooked the net up to my PS3 before.

Also if I plug in the G25 is the PS3 controller still used in the menu's etc, as I imagine navigating those labyrinthine menu's (what a mess!) would be painful with a wheel.

WTF Have they never did a PC version of this title that'd be bloody beaut!

When you start up the game you have to hold the ps button on your controller and change it back to number 1 to use it in the menus.

Network settings in the ps3 home to set up internet connection.

Game has been updated to 1.02, upping the credits earned per race and adding a couple of cool things. The Red Bull challenge has shown the potential of this game and how much they stuffed up. The X2014 junior is a fantastic car, and they use standing starts in the series which makes the racing much more interesting. The AI has it's issues, but it's still heaps more fun when you have a pack around you! If only they could change the rest of single play to standing starts, so I don't have to use an overpowered car just to catch up!
