· Compact, nimble operation

New Physics Engine

New User Interface
· Balancing directional key operation and touch operation
· Quick response (faster than in GT5)
· Shortening of loading times

Real/Virtual "Edge Effect" Activity
A variety of "Edge Effects", the chemical reactions between the real world and the virtual world for which the Gran Turismo series is famous, are also planned for GT6. Exciting collaborations between various automotive manufacturers and collaborations with brands crossing different industries will be revealed gradually across the next six months. An example is real life data being received from a Toyota GT 86 to transform into GT6 driving data in replays.

Tried downloading the demo off the PSN Store. An error message keeps popping up saying the content is unavailable.

Not sure why it was limited when it goes until the end of the month. There's no confirmation and I can't find any info on the demo being a limited time download.

It wasn't until 3 weeks ago I found out GT 6 was coming out in December[face_shock]

I'm really excited and can't wait. Hope they really improve the game, A.I. drivers and improve online much better too. However, I'm shocked they didn't take the time to create the game for the next gen PS4.

That feature could blow every other console racing game out of the water, it needs its own discussion, if you don't make the thread in the next day I will.
