Default Gran Turismo 6

Looking forward to finally receiving my Premium edition, though I know for sure I won't be allowed to play it straight away, as I'll have "other things to do".

Anyone else waiting?

the original rally tracks were pretty good but they got deleted from GT4 and the GT4 ones were nowhere near as good.

1300 cars, but about 400 different versions of the Skyline, Impreza and Lancer and they all sound the same.

That's the thing that I was disappointed with in gran turismo was the engine sounds the cars sounded nothing like the car at all where most cars in forza sound like the actual car your driving granted forza graphics aren't as good as gt but I still think forza is a better game just my opinion

I would be playing this tomorrow but I'm out on a serious lash-up session tomorrow night.

I'd like to say I'll look at it Saturday, but I can't see me getting off the sofa that day!

Sunday playtime me thinks.

I'm actually quite surprised that this isn't a PS4 release, Sony missed a trick here.

forza is ok, but i dont like how you cant use mod'd cars much in races

i wanna get a car, mod the living badger out of it then race it, not have to limit it to run the races.

Doesn't GT do it the other way? it'll just pit your modded to the eye ***** car against similarly specced cars?

Steering wheel controller licensing let Microsoft/box down badly. I've invested in a racing chair and a G27 wheel - so I've had to stay on the Sony track.

I'd love to be able to use my G27 on Forza, but I can't.

Is that still the way with the XBO? I can't understand why they do it.

We'll after a few hours on gt6 I can conclude
The sound isn't any better
The graphics are a little better
The courses are good
The headlamps have been upgraded for night driving, except for willow springs where they seem to have taken the bulbs out for no good reason.
Online was ok
If you flash your headlamps in the daytime, the dash emblem lights up but the lights don't flash when viewed from the front ?
Driving dynamics feel better
Feels more like an upgrade.....maybe GT5.6
Used all the amazon codes and going to send there copy back to them as I didn't turn up on release day, there tough s##t

I've just unlocked the lunar races,

FYI all the Sounds are recorded live from each car, there's a video of them doing it. So get ya ears checked lol.

A lot of cars I gotta say, almost all scoobs in there,

As for racing you have a limit for most races ie either muscle car or a xxx bhp, but as you get into the pro and extreme races, it doesn't matter what you do it's all about driving skill, and modding ie gear ratios and tweaking to get the edge...

I like the good wood events

Bit annoyed you now don't win cars for completing events, only seem to win them after a licence or Goodwood event
