REMINDER: THERE IS A NEW GRAN TURISMO COMING OUT

"PanchoVilleneuve ST" (PanchoVilleneuve)

And the online mode is an official FIA-sanctioned motorsport. And despite this being huge news, from both a motor racing and gaming standpoint, it’s not getting much coverage. So you may have missed it.

How many superlicense points though?

I hope it keeps its awkward JDMness.

A highly-detailed Subaru Alcyone would be sweet.

Among ALL OF THE SKYLINES of course.

Wait, online mode governed by the FIA? So time penalties will be assessed 30 minutes after the race ends?

Meh after the fail of GT5 and 6 I will not be getting it, I honestly think GT and PD needs a shake up of leadership to get back some the magic that the previous GT games had. And please give us US and euro cars that make sense in a racing game, with the correct specs this time.

To this day, I’ve never been more disappointed by anything in my life than I was by GT5. I preordered the super expensive version, I drove 100mph on my way home from work to make it to Gamestop before they closed, and it absolutely sucked. It felt like they made GT4, then played no other video game besides GT4 while making GT5. GT5 made me a lifelong Forza player.

Laughed way too loud at this. Next time you boot the game up, “You are World Champion, congratulations!”

I’ve owned every Gran Turismo version (with the exception of Prologue) since the original.

Versions 2 and 4 were improvements and I loved them both. 5 was terrible and I held out hope that 6 would be amazing. It has been less than amazing.

I may go to XBox and Forza.

I feel like it was actually difficult to improve on GT4 because it was so good on a fundamental level. A lot of times “sequels” to games are monumental improvements and the only “failure” GT had was that it didn’t make enough of a difference. I think GT6 is definitely worth the difference from GT4 but just going one sequel is not enough to matter. I have seen some major HATE in reviews of GT6 but based on playing it, I think those problems have been fixed via updates.

My main issue with 5 was that it looked to me like they weren’t interested in the way anybody else had done things since they made their last game...it felt like it was made in a bunker, with no outside input. The driving was fine, and I think the premium cars looked better than the Forza cars...though the bulk of the cool stuff was the PS2-level ‘standard cars’, which really sucked.

It's a bummer, Gran Turismo made racing games what they are now, but I don't know that I trust them enough to buy another GT title.

Well yeah if you already have 5, getting 6 would not really be much of an upgrade really. I actually enjoyed 6 because of how it was similar in ways to 4 but I never did play 5. The graphics improvement and driving dynamics were great. But I also haven't really played any other race games. So I am probably a bad judge lol.
