Official GS Gran Turismo 6 Review: 7

dem' console flops

Polyphony should just quit.

They are outclassed.

The whole point of a racing game is to go racing. So what do you need cars and tracks and GT6 has plenty of both. It has rally and kart and even trucks. It has time of day and snow,gravel,dirt,rain also to make the awesome tracks even more varied. You can even create your own tracks and trade them. The physics are good and it has wheel support. I don't give a **** about some top gear guys talking and how many polygons are in a mirror. Clearly yet another moron reviewing was crying about not being able to drive the fast cars right away and not having enough money for them hence the low score.

This is idiotic as the "grind" is how you learn to drive. This way has been tested to the point that console racers using GT5 have went on to become REAL racing car drivers. If your looking for a arcade racer play NFS if you want the best racing sim on console you play GT6. If you want the pricey cars then EARN them by driving your ass off making the car actually have value beyond game money.

I personally think this is a great game but then I am biased and like car sims. If your not serious about sims and like shiny cars with brits talking with no cars or tracks or weather or time of day for the same money then buy Forza 5 on a system that cost 500 bucks lmfao. Oh and Forza 5 racing wheel cost as much as a ps4 SMDH WTF ??

Yesh, I got the score right. And they still didn't improve the AI?

@PsychoLemons: according to this review, no.

Nice to see this piece of trash of a game FLOP! Face it cows, it's time to take Gran Turismo out back into the woods and put it down for good. GT didn't evolve with the times. It kept following its own same boring formula, thinking it didn't need to adhere to the standard. Man, you cows have been getting shitted on hard lately and I'm enjoying every big of it. LMFAO

@Rage010101: not too sure where they have been "shitted on hard"... I mean knack didn't do well but neither did Ryse. Forza 5 did well, but GT6 is last gen so it's kinda moot. Again, I'm not calling you a liar, I just think you might be over exaggerating a tad

Ah nice to see cows still crying and damage controlling over TLOU. Man, it truly is Flop of the year considering the butthurt still hasn't been healed. HAHA

Maybe you missed where all their games have been flopping? TLOU, KZSF, Knack, GT6...any of those ring a bell? Hell, I think "shitted on" is an understatement. Cows are just getting straight obliterated is more like it. Their minds have been officially Mind F*cked!

Ever since Forza came out, and gave GT some actual competition, GT has been getting worse and worse reviews.

And so the butthurt begins

even though it only got a 7, you can't ignore this line: "The best driving physics on consoles"

"The Best"....not one of the best, the best.

Sorry, TLOU is generally considered one of the best games of last gen, KZSF flopped, Knack flopped and GT6 flopped. Forza is considered the best racer. Ryse flopped, the Bone flopped in sales. I'm trying to look at this objectively but your blatant fanboyism is apparent. Other than a few bright spots, it's been pretty meh for these 2 companies this year.

Actually Metacritic says they are tied at 80. It doesn't prove either is better. Here at GS, 9 is higher than 7

but its the same score on Metacritic...so how can it be a million times better? For the love of god... Help me understand that logic!

@danabo said:

It took way too long for this to be posted. What, the 3rd page?

But it has beaten here on GS and its the same score on Meta...so how is it a million times better?

You play scores and I will play the best racing sim on console. Simply put if you could only have one racing game on a deserted island the clear choice is GT6. Forza 5 is a micro transaction machine there is day 1 DLC for cars. A season pass for 60 cars that cost 50 bucks making the game really 90 not including tax. Forget about GT6 for a moment Forza 4 takes a dump on the new game in cars and tracks.

Maybe we'll see the makeover the series sorely needs when it inevitably hits the PS4, but until then, Gran Turismo 6 remains a fantastic simulation; it's just not a great game.

Second-to-none driving physics coupled with an antiquated game. Damn shame, Polyphony needs to right their wrongs with GT7 - which I wholeheartedly expect them to do.

Same here. I think that the series is in need of a massive overhaul and I think after this game it will happen.

Metacritic score means nothing here in System Wars. Absolutely nothing.

When it comes to Gran Turismo 6 and Forza Motorsport 5 -in regards to comparative matters- this is all that matters:

Forza Motorsport 5:

Gran Turismo 6:

The final review paragraph - to summarize the review and the Good and Bad of each review along with the number score.

A "massive overhaul" is exactly what the series needs.

I really do believe that Gran Turismo 7 will be something very special indeed, however. This is Polyphony we are talking about, they know racing games.

Here is a basic concept for yea.... the world would be a better place if your mom just swallowed you.

Who said I'm complaining? I don't expect GT reviews to be AAA because they don't cater to all the window dressing that seems to impress critics. I'm just pointing out the fact everyone on here keeps arguing that Forza is so superior, and that GT is behind the times. Then GT comes out and completely destroys Forza at the cash registers.

It's like the COD vs Battlefield argument. Why would COD ever change what their doing because of Battlefield? BF3 was the best selling BF game across all platforms, yet still got annihilated by COD.

It's the same scenario here. There's literally no reason for PD to try to update their games to be more in line with those IPs that they are dominating with every entry. The only reason GT6 might not continue the trend is the fact they released it on PS3 during a next gen launch. Those that moved on to PS4 and XB1 aren't going to rush back to PS3 for any game.

I thought you sold your PS3?

Reviewer is clearly got spolied with forza 5 .

You are new here so I'll excuse your ignorance, but the fact of the matter is that we are in the GameSpot forum System Wars where only GameSpot reviews matter.

End of story.

The Real Flopping simulator

Pretty sure GT7 will have the graphics and sound and damage and AI of a next gen game. I hope that it does not lose the cars and tracks like Forza 5 and replace them with day 1 DLC. I also hope the custom sound tracks are kept from GT5 as the multimedia on the ps4 seems to be lacking.

It doesn't have less cars so they can sell you more, Forza has always had car packs. It has less cars because they didn't have enough time to finish them by launch.

@WadeFan: the damage etc is from 2 gens ago. Forza 1 had a better collision and damage models than gt6. That is a shame. I do agree that there is no innovation with gt6 and there hasnt been since gt2.

Still flopped here. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop sounding like a some butthurt fangirl.

-TLOU still flopped on GS. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

-You seem to think that Rage is an Xbox fanboy when his posting history has indicated differently. Pretty sure he played/preferred PC/PS3 last gen and I'm pretty sure the guy just hates on cows because they're the most obnoxious fanboy group. (as he and others have claimed)

But he can correct me if I'm wrong. If he's not the guy that guy that used to have this as his sig:

Then I'm thinking of the wrong person.

So let me se if I got this right a unfinished game with day 1 DLC for cars that F5 is missing rates a 9 SMFH ???

GT has been inferior to Forza since Forza 1.

It still has a lot less cars and tracks yet got a 9.0 thrown at it by Gamespot. Maybe if they didn't concentrate on all the "innovation" that everyone raves about, they could put out some cars and tracks which is why most people by a racing game in the first place. If Forza 5 wasn't a XB1 launch title, no one would bother with it. Imagine if this game came out for 360. Do you think anyone would pay $60 for it that already had Forza 4? Probably not.

They were still working on them when it went gold.

Cars on the newer consoles are going to take longer to make because of the insane detail and accuracy they include. That's why I don't know how GT dev is going to another GT game out for the PS4 next year. There is just way too much to do.

I could be wrong, but didn't PD say they aren't concerned at all with damage modeling? This isn't going to be a feature I see them every really putting in the game.

I'm fine with that. I could care less about crashing my car on the first turn, then having to restart the race anyway because I'll never catch the lead cars. They want to simulate driving a car, not limping a damaged car to the finish line. Besides, doesn't Forza turn off damage modeling for online play anyway?

Funny they seem like they were working on DLC for the 50 dollar season pass. The time spent on DLC could have been spent on a track and weather and time of day. Seems turn 10 had a not so hidden agenda to milk the gamers. Xbots stupid enough to buy Forza 5 deserve to get milked for 90 bucks.

They also spent time on that new AI that supposedly learns from racers online or something like that. I agree 100%. Forza 5 is all hype, no substance. Even if they promise free DLC to finish off the game, by the time that gets here, TitanFall and other games will be out. DLC is never a good way to complete what should have been done at launch. Once the games launched, the damage is done.

I don't think they had any intention of having weather and time of day.

Even if the game had 800 cars there still would've been dlc.

This isn't Street Fighter 2, there isn't less than 30 people working on the whole game. Different people are working on the cars, tracks ect ect.

Gamespot strikes again. You guys must really love attention...(and other damage infliction/control statemnts)

I want to instigate another TLOU outbreak, dammit!!!!
