Poll: Gran Turismo 6 - anyone getting it?

[Techno Squidgy]

It has the Lunar Rover....

So as soon as I scrape enough cash together to buy a PS4. After the mandatory rig upgrade.... damn BF4....
But yeah, I would love to see some low grav fun on the moon, which I sorely hope is part of what they were teasing in that trailer...

brb, checking the moon's escape velocity and the top speed of the fastest car in the game...

Edit: Soooooo.... I'm gonna need to get good with C++ fast and somehow get my hands on a PS4 devkit. There are vital modifications that need to be made. Like modding a car to achieve a velocity of 2.38km/s....

But I guess even then it wouldn't model gravity properly and I guess it'd just be faster to go back to playing Kerbal...

Nope!
Grand Turismo is one of the ONLY games I've ever fallen asleep while playing. It's so incredibly boring and I've never understood peoples obsession with realism in games, they have to be realistic, or gritty and no cartoons allowed!

I like my games to be unrealistic, not like batshit crazy but instead of GT, I prefer Burnout or Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, F Zero is pretty dandy too.
Realism is boring :|

I love unrealistic games but i hate arcade racing games because the handling is too easy and floaty. Realism in racing is good because cars behave how they should (or as close as possible) in real-life. This is a pretty big deal if you're into cars and motor-racing. I have to get the right racing line and brake at the right moment to win the race rather than just holding the throttle and sliding the car round every corner

I counter your argument with...

RULE OF COOL.
Sometimes I just wanna go fast and sideways. Can ya really blame me?

Though I do enjoy (semi)/realistic racing games a lot more since I learned how to Scandinavian flick and drift properly. Even if most of the time it's actually slowing me down, god damn does it look good when you get it right.

I'm not saying realistic is bad, but a lot of people whine to have games real as possible, it's kiiinda irritating when a game like TF2 is mocked for being cartoonish when it's charmingly violent and stylized.

I get what you're saying, it's good to have a racer doing it, but for me? Just bores me sadly.

I agree entirely. Borderlands was one of my favourite games of the last few years, really loved the art style and the old school RPG elements

I just think that games need to give you a challenge to overcome and a set of tools to complete the challenge. Gran Turismo (assuming you like cars and motorracing) is the ideal challenge....to beat your opponents (or your own lap time) the game gives you loads of cars that you can tinker with (eg fit new components and set up every last detail from gear-ratios to camber angle of your tyre to ECU setting) you then use these cars to compete in races.

Im not keen on games like burnout where i just mash the throttle and take corners at 200mph whilst crashing head first into another drive without losing any momentum, wheres the challenge whats keeping me entertained when every race is as difficult as cutting butter with a hot knife. Games like that dont really give you an incentive. You cant buy new components for your cars so theres nothing to really improve on except unlocking the next car.

Dont get me wrong i can see the appeal. I love NFS underground and midnight club series because theres loads of customisation and that gives you a bit of incentive to carry on even if you can have a head on collision with traffic on the last lap and still go on to win it.
