Gran Turismo 6....Official thread.

Damn, and I was finally able to drift a car for than 5 feet without crashing..

My steering wheel plug wasn't in at the mains!

I didn't realise it did everything else via USB, just the steering from mains power!

schoolboy error.

Is it just me that is still confused by the camber and toe settings , it seems strange that cars can drive so well with toe and camber at 0 yet a bit of negative camber front an rear makes them feel rubbish but if you put camber on max negative front an rear you get strange amounts of grip in corners an zero braking in the straight.

Also why are cars defaulting to toe or 60 on the rear and 0 on the front?

The scalextric thing? That is more a point at track racing games, how having an open world frees you from track limitations.

Do you have a link? I had a look and couldn't find which one it would be?

Yeah I think its as much a dig at the regular forza games as gt6.

I thought it looked more like the single file parade of cars at the start of a GT race

So I've eventually caught up with the crowd having gone on GT5 the other night a realising their was no online game play.

So I've been out and bought GT6 last night

Put the disk and waited and waited and waited and ermmmm waited

Granted I've got a slow internet connection and living in shared house so only wifi connection.

at about 11 last night it stops going through 1/12 2/12 3/12 ......... etc

and i get to the final part of the installation which looks like its actually in the game and I'm faced with the message 'Please wait Installing please do not switch of system blah blah blah balah Approx 70 minutes left'

Then nothing did it over and night and while at work today 24hrs and i still havent played.

whats going on where i am i going wrong

PS real technophobe when it comes to the working off this so keep it simple please

any help greatly appreciated

Take it to a mates house with super fast broadband next time.

Or if it's not that maybe your PS3 needs a system restore - get rid of old games etc.

If done what someones post above and deleted GT6 and started again.
if i cant sort going to take it back what a waste of money

[cianha]

I've the same trouble. I'll be trying the "buddy's fast internet with a cable" this weekend, then maybe a wipe and reinstall (which I really don't want to do, as I've a lot of my daughter's movies on there too!)

[RussH91]

I've been through and deleted a lot of my old games but dont really want to do a system restore unless there is away of saving all of the old data

Anyone else got other ideas deleted GT6 and started again this hasn't worked

I've been trying to load this game pretty much since wednesday!!!!!

I was umming and arring between GT6 and GTA V. I'm wishing I'd bought the latta

Hope I'm not too late to help, but I've had similar problems with installing updates. Just got a PS3 and GT6, haven't played for maybe ten years. Anyway, I found somewhere that you need to do the updates a few at a time. The first 6 of 12 you can do in one go, then disable network and let them install. Then one or two at a time from there and let them install when disconnected from the network. This worked for me, but took me a few days of having enough time to sit there and watch it download. Good luck.

I've just downloaded the 12 updates in their entirety for the 3rd time. This time stopping after each download and letting it install. I thought that was it but I'm on another update screen now, not sure what the install procedure after each individual download was for.

Currently showing 320 minutes left though it's guaranteed to fail. I feel like putting a sledge hammer through it. Do I need to turn download a couple of updates then restart with WiFi off to make sure that the update are fully installed?

I tried the "install one, cancel one" method to install the patches individually. Got as far as the ninth (1.5GB) and it kicks off the error installing update process again.

[bodhi]

I did have an issue where the latest update corrupted itself (think the PS3 powered off during the update). To fix it, I deleted the existing GT6 Game Data (NOT the Save Data), hit update the second the update screen appeared (this is key apparently), then left it to install the updates over night. Went into the living room in the morning and had a working copy of GT6 to play with.

[Nom de ploom]

the main issue apart from the updates with GT6 was that it was too easy for a large majority of it.

getting the gold licence awards was a little tricky but by no means a thankless slogfest...

i still need 1800 miles to get the platinum trophy which is proven the thankless task of the game...

I think it would benfit from a proper but optional career type mode...but there are enough of those types of games out there I think...
