So GT6 has been out for a whole day now, can anyone give me a stellar reccomendation to go and buy the game rather than wait for the complete version which I presume will release in a years time? (roughly anyway). Honestly I think the graphics look superb, makes me think developers can't do much more no matter what the hardware is like, first time I saw footage of the moon stages I joked with a family member that they had sent a rover to the moon, they were shocked when it turned out to be a game.
Can anyone comment on the major changes from GT5 which I thought was a great game, but still had room for improvements, mainly a fast forward function for b-spec races.
- The UI is much better, thank god.
- The only car you're allowed to buy initially is a 2010 Honda Fit.
- The license tests aren't available to you at first, and you unlock them by working your way through the races. Like half way through the Novice races unlocks the B-license tests, half way through the B Series races unlocks the A Series tests.
- The lunar rover missions are unlocked after completing the first few series in the B racing series, and they're kind a fun diversion. Managed to somehow barrel roll when I crested a hill too fast while also hitting a rock with the left side wheels.
- Lots of new tracks, some where available via DLC before but are now part of the game. Everybody here in the states are creaming their pants over Willow Springs being included.
- At first I was thinking that the AI drivers were much better, but they're really not. They seem to be more aware if you're inside them at the apex but not always, and they still always brake mid-corner and sometimes on corner exit. So a little better but not much.
That's my experience so far. I haven't seen (or bothered looking for) the B Spec stuff yet. I'm not really bothered about that until I can start getting into the endurance races where I'm hoping that you can use those drivers to drive stints like in GT 4.
Almost forgot. The car you can use in a race is now based on the PP rating as well as the car type. So it'll say limited to cars of 400 PP and FF drive train. So now it's not as hard to find an evenly matched car in your garage so that you're not getting totally dusted, or have a Vettel like lead after the second corner. I was hoping they'd bring back qualifying so you could have a better chance with a lesser car but it seems that it's not to be.
Very nice review by both of you. Don't ask me why but I am looking forward to this eco drive thing sounds interesting.
