Yeah you get them for other stuff, and as you progress you unlock special events etc.
Youve still got enough to do the stuff with.

Think they made it harder to coast through it, its still great though, if you get Gold in all the licences you get 2 cars, ive managed this to B International so far

1GB update?! Awesome, especially with my original Fatty!

Turned up around 10 mins ago, so happy days. Might try and tempt the Mrs to let me turn the PS3 on for the update and when that's done.....I'll have to turn it off n go to bed.

I can understand them making it a bit harder tbh. Do they still have B-spec races?

No joke mate. Paulo Palmer got his on Friday, went to the update, 50% crashed. Started again, 30% crashed. His appalling broadband speeds didn't help. So in the end he brought his console around to my house to use my fibre connection and it was all done and dusted in 20 mins

Oh and after the 1.2GB update, the install takes another 10 mins and after that it finds another update :loll: Though this is smaller at a couple of MB
Bloody takes the **** with a game that is a day old. If you don't do the update the game loads but reverts to a basic edition

Super! lol

What's the basic edition exactly? The Fatty is ridiculous for update times, but it isn't getting replaced till it dies, or I find a PS4 at a silly price.

Not quite sure myself but the update seems to bring in new intro, opening videos and a few other tweaks but it might just be a fancy bloody video for all we know

See here

http://www.gtplanet.net/kazunori-yam...nch-interview/

Talk of updates every month starting December and new stuff coming down the line including why they brought it out on PS3 instead of PS4

Fatty PS3 , I have one and yes it does take some time

I'm surprised they couldn't do a 'high res texture' PS4 edition or something? give the early adopters something to enjoy and justify the purchase now?

Who knows what they'll offer, for the PS4 versions, but I can't see it being much different, if at all.

Isn't there updates practically every month for most games? Seems like that anyway...

Gonna be a late night tonight I hope, but little one has been rather ill lately and is in sleeping in our room atm, so it might not happen at all come to think about it.

Well the download only took 15 mins, so pleased about that. Install was fine too, but what I'm not happy about is not being able to sign into PSN and redeem my million credits!

Still, I got to play it for 20 or so mins and I think its a big step up from 5.

Roll on my next session.

I got bored of 5, so shan't be bothering with 6.

The days of having 1000 hours spare to earn the cars and tracks are long gone.

I did around 100 hours on 5 and managed to earn **** all that I really wanted so it's collecting dust!

Make sure you have ASM turned off on driving options, it slows you down a lot, makes a massive difference on the rally one and also makes it a lot more fun.

For anyone that doesn't know there's an easy cheat/glitch which gives you 20 million credits! ( just google "gt6 glitch 20mil") Which is equivalent to about £120 worth if you bought it from the online store.

IMO any full price game that thinks it's ok to ask you for more of your hard earned deserves to be violated.

I strongly recommend fully upgrading the 22b, which you should of already bought, sticking on some racing slicks, turning driving assists off and taking it round the ring.

I got the Merc on V1.01 as a gift, deleted the version and went back onto the game, but when going into my garage to sell the car, it keeps crashing. Any ideas?

Ah, that'll explain it. At work now, so I expect it'll be patched by the time I get a chance to do it again.

Ah well, no big deal. Thanks.

Just don't download any update it offers next time you go on and you should be o.k, just bear in mind once you've done the glitch the patch will need downloading again.

I too had GT5 and enjoyed the vs computer races but never seemed to be able to get a decent online race going. People waited ages, then got bored, pulled out, waited some more, it was nonsense so it ended up gathering dust. Is GT6 any better?

How did you guys finish 5-3 on gold? Did you use a steering wheel, as I heard it's easier with that, than the controller?

And what do you win getting all golds? Got the silver, but not sure I can cope trying to get the gold...

With about 1000000000 attempts.

I did it with no wheel on auto, just taken the first 2 corners as fast as you can then ton it till the line turns red in the road, take it easy around that bend, then ton it again slow for the nightmare bale of hay, then ton it again the key is once round the next bend after the bail of hay one you need to be full throttle all the way

The times I smacked the wall neat the finish was madness

Also turn on ghost but use the line option not the car as I find that blocks u more

Super license test s-5, anyone got gold on this? It's a nightmare. It's all what stands between me getting the platinum trophy.
