Great news everybody! If you live in Japan, own a GPS data logger equipped Toyota GT86 and have access to Tsukuba, Suzuka or Fuji Speedway, the new GT6 update comes out on the 7th! V1.06 is going to include the GPS visualizer which will recreate your real life lap data as a ghost in GT6.

Good thing Polyphony Digital is concentrating their efforts on appeasing less than 0.001% of their customer base rather than bringing us things that all players can use such as: more content, new Vision GT cars, better online game play, more features, etc. Where is the McLaren P1? Ferrari F70? F10 BMW M5? Jaguar F-Type? Any of the new Mercedes AMG cars? New Audi performance cars? The list goes on and on. Their better be more than just this useless GPS visualizer in the new update.

Looking into it more, I guess all the USDM FR-S/BRZ's are equipped with the same data loggers so you could record your laps at Willow Springs or Laguna Seca if you had one of these cars and the ability to get on one of those tracks. I don't think Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Daytona are ever open to the public for lapping. Still, PD needs to work more on things that will benefit the majority of users rather than the VERY small percentage of users that this feature caters to.

Agreed.

Would be neat, if you had a FRS/BRZ/GT86, and if you lived near one of the few US tracks in GT6.
No TWS or MSR on there (2 closest road courses to me). Though I wouldn't mind doing some laps in a BRZ on Laguna Seca or Willow Springs (Big Willow or Streets).

One of the guys on the forum has a BRZ and took it to willow springs this year, not sure if he has ps3 though.

JS+BRZ doesn't have a PS3. but i don't know if Costco has the game. It would be nice to see him go to Laguna Seca though.

BDoggPrelude

My brother has an FR-S and GT6 but he lives pretty far away from California is a pretty long drive from Wichita just to test out a feature in a video game.

More info on the new data visualizer update. The system is going to be limited to Fuji, Suzuka and Tsukuba so it is totally pointless for anybody outside of Japan. On top of that, even if you already have a data logging equipped FT-86 or BRZ and somehow have access to one of these 3 tracks, you will still have to purchase an additional ~$900 Sports Drive Logger. This feature is officially about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

its stupid. fix the servers first before adding worthless stuff.

After an hour's worth of deleting the game data utility file and re-installing all the updates...

Behold, the 2014 BMW M4 Coupe Frozen Black Metallic Edition:

Well, as expected, the v1.06 update is useless crap. Only cool thing added is customizable rear wings. At least now you can choose how tall the park bench spoiler is. There's been a lot of speculation that PD has turned all of their focus to GT7. I hope that's not the case as they still have a lot of promises to fill with GT6 like the GPS course creator and about 20 more Vision GT cars, among many other things.

00TL-P3.2

When I first heard about the GT7 release, I figured it would dry up the resources put into GT6. Hoping this isn't actually the case

the PS4 is out and desperately in need of strong titles

Since drive club was delayed, I'm sure that PD is pushing for development on GT7

I heard Infamous was really good. Metal Gear was excellent as it has good replay value.

00TL-P3.2

Did the 24min of Le Mans last night. Was doing alright & ran out of gas. Sauber C9 can do about 2 1/2 laps on a tank. Ended up in 8th overall

Doom878

What happens when you run out of gas? Do you wait for a tow truck or something?

00TL-P3.2

Limited to 50mph. On a 4+ mile track, when you run out 2/3 through a lap, other cars doing 200+mph catch you pretty quick

Thought I was going to be able to catch BDogg's ghost last night on one of the new seasonal races (the electric Pike's Peak car at the Matterhorn). Almost...[sigh].

BDoggPrelude

Lol. What was your time? When I did that one a few nights ago, my time was like #840 on the list but I think it has dropped to a little over #1,000 now.

ttribe

Don't remember and, unfortunately I'm sitting in my office at work right now. All I know is I could actually still see your ghost line when it hit the finish line and that's been rare for me.

00TL-P3.2

I must've done them when they first loaded, I qualified 8th with a bronze finish
Officially completed every race in the game last night. Just need to go back & get golds on the last 2 Vettel sets, the moon, last Goodwood race & the S license tests. I think that'll put me at 100%, currently at 93% IIRC.

beat Bdogg's time on FT-1 seasonal race.

A Leaf on Brands Hatch, meh.
Not easy, but definitely boring.

Did Sony/Polyphony ever issue the OST (soundtrack) for this game? Would love to buy it but doesn't appear to be available.

ttribe

I've picked up a couple of the better "driving" songs individually from iTunes.

Yumcha

Do I look like I use Apple products in my spare time, dingis?

BDoggPrelude

I got gold on like the second or third lap and stopped playing that one. I haven't had time to play since.

asianspec

Took me two or three times just to find the best braking point at the start of the race.

ttribe

85F and sunny here today...how about you?

Yumcha

It's raining like a monsoon season in -land but at least it's not cold enough to snow.








Hope a bug flies into your smirking face and you accidentally swallow it.

asianspec

oh that is the same here too.

Yumcha

Fark you both. Hope you drive cheerfully into a wall in GT6.

00TL-P3.2

I got done drifting around with asianspec & gave it another 2-3 laps jsut to get gold, just barely edged out BDogg

Yeah, that one was what threw me off most, then the 90* right about 2/3 to the end instead of the chicane.

srika

yes they did, but it's on iTunes only.
