Sorry if this has been asked, any word on menu speed optimizations? I loved GT5 but I just couldn't deal with the menus. Messing around with Photo Mode was a massive chore due to the speed.
New User Interface
Balancing directional key operation and touch operation
Quick response
Shortening of loading times
When asked what he most wanted to improve in GT6, his answer is immediate and surprisingly blunt: "The overall response of the game. I realised that, no matter how rich the content is, unless that part of it is very smooth and stress-free, it just ruins it."
Why do these guys look sad?
And are these pics taken at KW HQ or do PD have all this suspension tech at their new offices?
In 2006, a state-of-the art 7-post drive dynamics test stand has been put into operation at the KW automotive GmbH headquarters in Fichtenberg. This test stand can simulate different race track conditions. There are only 15 such hydraulic test stands available around the world and most of them are used by Formula 1 teams for their research and development measures.
The KW automotive GmbH also uses this innovative test opportunity for the developing new suspensions and optimising suspension set-ups. Moreover, the suspension expert offers all interested racing teams and commercial partners the possibility, to carry out future vehicle adjustments with the help of its 7-post drive dynamics test stand at its test centre in Fichtenberg.
For the teams this enormously saves both costs and time, as all vehicle-relevant race track characteristics can be simulated with this test stand without exposing the car to unnecessary wear. This technology offers the company KW unprecedented test opportunities for applications in the automobile industry and in motor sports.

KW calendar in the background and the bearded guy wearing a KW t-shirt in the last pic tells me they were at the KW HQ, also I don't think PD would have such machinery to test suspension.

Im so glad that it seems Kaz is concentrating on the aspects of car behavior for GT6. For me thats the meat of the game.
Hopefully the tire model update will be as significant as the suspension model we now see.
Also, another thing of praise is that PD is using GT academy not just as a commercial and marketing tool, but as a learning tool to improve the game. The driver input the winners are be giving to PD must be invaluable.
Why was that video posted? I know the real 24hs of Nurb is going on at the moment, but... how did they get the footage? There's more?
1. We will know it by looking at GT6 physic model because it looks like it is improved a lot.
2. That is not simply true. All racing sims are trying to recreate reality. They are using advanced physic models to achieve that and that physic models are not created upon art but on solid science.
Sim racing will never be real thing but it can very very very closely recreate what is possible in real life and that is why F1 drivers use advanced simulators to hone their skill offtrack. Those simulators are not cheap.
PD finally updated their site with sales data
Those sales of the last 3 games are completely underserved, it actually make me mad because theres other very good racing games failling, for example PGR4, Shift series, Split/second.

GT5: not a bad game at all, its a good game but flawed, 10 millions is crazy.
GT5p: Too much for the price vs contents
GT PSP: this one just pissed me off, this is downright a bad game, the only bad one in the series and it sold more than most other racing games in the market, its a dumbed down port without career mode or customization.
Its for things like these that dont have games like Toca, Enthusia, Shift (and probably PGR) anymore.

GT PSP's track list is godly.
It's just Gran Turismo 4's track list without the night time circuits. And Valencia from Tourist Trophy, I guess.

"Just"? GT4 is chock full of content .It's just Gran Turismo 4's track list without the night time circuits. And Valencia from Tourist Trophy, I guess.

Speak for yourself. To me GT5 is the best racer this gen. It's flawed, there's no doubt about that, but as far as console driving accuracy, variety, presentation and overall content goes, it's largely unmatched. Forza obviously comes close, but falls behind in physics accuracy and diversity.
I must add, I have played and enjoyed all the racers you mentioned and many more, but imo they don't hold up. Not to mention most are arcade racers that aren't really comparable. They're fun over the top exaggerated spectacles, without nearly as much depth or sophistication imo.
If they can't get the sound right, at least gimme the actual feeling of driving behind the wheel. The camera feels too stiff IMO (cockpit). Every bump and shaking of the car should translate to the camera.
In spite of some real shortcomings, GT PSP is legitimately the best portable semi-realistic racing game I've ever played.
Christmas came early brah

Maybe if you're a controller-using peasant. GT5 is hands down the best racing game on consoles if you have a good racing wheel setup.
Not true at all. I'm a controller using peasant and GT5 is still easily the best racing game on consoles.

Here's the same footage from earlier but slightly longer.
