The fifth edition of the game, released in 2010, told us waiting for more than five years after the premiere of “four”. Gran Turismo 6 was developed in just three years. And it shows. However, if the new game is only predecessor facelift

First Impression

The game welcomes a nice menu that works more efficiently than the known in the previous section. Unfortunately, the loading times are still not delight racing. However, any shortcomings in this area compensates for what happens when a player has to join a virtual competition on the track. There is no question of lack of liquidity animation and graphics look even better than in the fifth. But this is not already such a shock to the eyes what zaserwowa?o GT5 Prologue beautiful then and GT5.

Game Modes

Gameplay in Gran Turismo 6 may be performed in several modes: career, quick play (race, time trial, drift trial) for 1 or 2 people to split the screen, and online gameplay.

Career is the main path in the GT6, allowing to make loans, which you can then spend on buying, modification or servicing cars. It is divided into six steps that you need to turn unlocked by obtaining the required license:

• Newcomer,
• National B
• National A
• International B
• International A
• Super.

Each step has several thematic sets of races and additives in the form of “coffee breaks”, “racing one brand”, “Racing with the tasks” .

In every race except loans, you can also earn stars, which unlock additional gameplay possibilities. Initially, in order to seek a higher series starts, you need to score at least 20 stars (in the later stages you have to collect 25 stars and win a special championship), because then unlocked the opportunity to apply for a new license, which in itself does not make already excessive problems (minor steps, if you want to earn gold in each of the tasks appear only at the last superlicence).

Before proceeding to describe the regular races worth mentioning a few words about the additional game modes as part of career:
• Acquiring new licenses – is a series of tests with the specific task such as overcoming the section within the prescribed time, the slowdown in the given time and place, driving slalom between the posts, etc.,
• Coffee break – this competition somewhat detached from the world racing, rely on the downing of the required number of posts in a certain time or so. driving with a droplet, which is driving the lap portion of the path or in a specified time consuming Tylk certain amount of fuel,
• Racing one brand – races in which you can only race cars of the same make,
• Races of tasks – races (in most cases only short sections), during which not only have to get to the head of the pack, but you have to do it at a certain time.

Regular races in each of the stages of career are covered with limitations. Points are usually performance figures (PO) cars, but they can also be more specific requirements for the type of tire, brand or vintage cars, as well as the type of the drive system. For its part, can prompt it should choose to compete in cars with a lower amount than the maximum authorized PO to not receive a real fun of racing against opponents. It is often choosing the best car at the selected constraints, you can very easily win at all while not bothering. And I do not think this is about?

Good news for those who do not want every moment to change the car, which they want to race, the possibility tunignu cars (increases the amount of PO) or limit their power (reduces the amount of PO). Thus, the same car can comply with the restrictions of different races.

The second game mode is a fast game. In short, this involves choosing the race, time trial or drift and try to determine what the car and the track what we want to ride. In this mode, you can also play with another person on a split screen.

The third mode, in two editions, is an online game. This is a classic game on the network, which consists in joining or creating your own customizable game room or accession to the Internet challenges created by Polyphony Digital. In the latter with players from all over the world can be measured by correspondence – by the position of our time in the ranking. Classic gameplay online (in Gran Turismo in the “Waiting Room”), already gives the opportunity to race side by side, or rather, bumper to bumper with live opponents.

Cars and tracks

Gran Turismo has always deigned players plenty of available cars and tracks. It is no different this time too. In the case of the sixth fell further records: available more than 1,200 cars and 37 different locations representing 100 different layouts routes. Among the cars are counted, however, different variations of the same car. Is spite of this staggering number of cars are missing some structure? Unfortunately, yes, and most sore deficiency is the lack of a Porsche. It is true that you can buy some RUF modified by the construction of this manufacturer, but it is not the same as the factory cars.

In turn, among the tracks you can find places transferred alive from the real world and invented and developed by the creators of the game. While already in GT5 could roam on a full loop Nürburgring, in the GT6 to me the greatest flavor is to join the track with Ascari Race Resort. The game does not run the routes gravel and covered with snow, but rallies do not play a large role in the game. It is worth noting that in GT6 are changing weather conditions and the time expires to allow the prosecution even in the night’s rain.

The full list of cars and tracks, you can view the manufacturer’s website of the game.

Physics ride and feel of the game

Is Gran Turismo deserves to be called a driving simulator? If you understand it as an attempt at mapping behavior of the car on the road in a virtual game, it is definitely yes. This is not an arcade game where you do not need to inhibit the front corners, and sharper enough to beat incurring the handbrake turn violent.

However, fans of the series Need for Speed ??or GRID should not feel lost in the world of Gran Turismo, because the game can hold the handle and learn how to drive a virtual car. For the inexperienced players foreseen the possibility of including traction control (ranging from 0 to 10), ABS-u (also from 0 to 10), active stability management (ASM), help when leaving the slip, the dead zone sensor or the racing line. Especially the latter may be helpful for newbies in the world of simulation. Tells how to navigate the track and in the best moments inhibit (then changes color from blue to red). There was also a choice between automatic and manual transmission.

Behavior cars in Gran Turismo 6 in comparison to the previous section should be assessed on a definite plus. Finally thought of tilted body and work better chassis and tires. Cars lead to noticeably realistically and clearly feel the difference between different drives. Understeer is when everyday too quickly around a corner of a car driven front axle. It is easy, in turn, provoke oversteer and impressive drift car rear wheel drive. In turn czteronap?dowe used characteristically able to break forward. Added to this is the impact of motor position and weight distribution. Each car runs differently and it really feel.

Unfortunately, we still underdeveloped is the model of mechanical damage and external. Cars like in GT5 bounce off each other like soap. But you have to remember that this is not Burnout and not the Gran Turmismo it. What counts here is the purest driving and beating about the hundredths and sometimes thousandths of a second.

also worth mentioning virtual AI opponents. Although it has been improved, it is still not perfect. We must admit, however, that there are always already meekly riding in a row driver, but opponents capable of fighting back and sometimes rude to keep pushing the control (especially in the later stages of their careers, especially in the classroom Super). Sadly, however, there madmen alleging or ramming back in a band, because I missed the braking point.

Extras

The GT6 pleasantly surprise with additional game modes as trips to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed ??where you can lead a true legend of the automotive industry, or the moon to get behind the wheel of lunar rover (tasks reconstructed on the basis of Apollo 15). Soon, the game also announced a series of concepts Vision (first available from launch due to a Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo).

Summary

Is Gran Turismo 6 is a successful continuation of the series? Definitely yes, but even that is a new game, and in many places it is only a “top five” facelift and new additions. But until cashing on the success of the series is to introduce amendments, each of which makes sense, you can not have anything against. Gran Turismo 6 is still a must for lovers of cars and fast driving and certainly not gonna put it on the shelf for a long time.
