Gonna guess that means downloading it before hand so that once "officially" released you can just hit play

That's correct.

Is it true that there is a new hillclimb course in GT6?

The Goodwood Hillclimb course is not actually a hillclimb, it's like a 3/4 mile stretch of road meant to host the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It's just a road for parading around the world's most exclusive, vintage, and famous cars.

Very interesting!

GT6 has launched!  

Okay so I heard some news and did some maths that you guys might find funny.

So as you guys may already know, GT6 has micro-transactions, the same as with FM5.  In a review I was seeing the comment box was quick to diss on PD because one of the most expensive cars in the game, a Jaguar XJ13, would equate to about $200 in real money through micro-transactions, but then they would defend FM5 because the token system is cheaper.

Yeah, ...right

GT6:
1966 Jaguar XJ13
In-game price: 20,000,000 Cr.
Real money: $200
Credit-to-dollar ratio: 100,000 Cr. per dollar

FM5:
2013 F1 Lotus E21
In-game price: 6,000,000 Cr.
Real money: $120
Credit-to-dollar ratio: 50,000 Cr. per dollar

Even with Micro-transactions you get twice as many credits in GT6 for your money lol

It turn out you have to achieve your International A License to play any online events. That essentially means you have to do some career races and pass the license tests. I also don't see any global track leaderboard system in the game yet, but I may have not looked hard enough.

Lol you need to prove you can drive before going online haha. Also I don't think there would be a leaderboard if there are no car classes.

Sounds like a good idea with that license tests

I am in love with the physics in GT6. They feel much better than GT5's and in some aspects, Forza 4's physics.

PD handled the career mode in GT6 a lot better now. They have you enter your first and last name so it will look like how the A.I is labeled. The races are really fun. They are not too easy, and they are not too hard.

I have only beaten the B license tests, and those are exactly the same as in older GT games. No surprises here. I do like how you have a leaderboard for the license tests, it gives you motivation to actually get above a bronze rank.

Not fishing for cars in the UCD is awesome. The Dealerships are a lot more organized now and hold all 1200 cars. No UCD!

I've only played an hour so far, and it's pretty awesome so far!

Cant wait to get it!

Kona <3 I'm en route right now to pick up my copy ^_^

YEAH!

Do you get a better sence of speed than you did in gt5? Like when you were going 150mph it felt like 20mph

I just tried out mine for a little. They sure improved a LOT in the handling department imo

Plus ALL the cars available in the dealership thats a huge plus

Yes.

Because of last minute weather changes (snow and ice in texas?) I can't get GT6 until Sunday .

I find it funny how GT6 got released the same day as Touge Union's first birthday.

TODAY IS TU'S 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY??

OH JOLLY DAY

I thought it was tomorrow.

Why not download it from the PSN store?

Because I already paid for it in full, and my PS3 hard drive is nowhere near large enough.

From the looks of it, it seems that the PP system has not been changed at all, if very little. I'm guessing 430PP will be the norm? There's a few tight, narrow, mountainous tracks in the game.

Well the more pure sports cars seem to fit into 500PP much more easily. Cars like civics 86s and miatas can't even make it to 500PP so we tend to use 430PP for those.
