With Gran Turismo 6 being released in early December and the new Forza racing onto the Xbox One it’s becoming increasingly difficult to decide which racing simulator we should pick up at retail. Well GT6 has just made that a little bit easier by raising the bar… all the way to the moon.
In this latest trailer just before the end you get to see the moon buggy bouncing around the moon and since this vehicle is listed in the official list of cars that will come with GT6 then it really does imply that we will be able to hold moon races, which sounds awesome.
Added to that is this other video that was released that showcases the amount of effort Polyphony has gone into to get the detail of the night sky perfect for those long endurance racing.
Honestly I can’t see the point in going into that much detail but hey if it floats your boat and the other game can’t do it then that’s a selling point right?
Added to that is the fact that Forza has revealed that the LaFerrari isn’t included in the base game and will be sold as DLC on launch which has gotten our old motorhead colleague a little hot under the collar.
But don’t forget that Forza and the Xbox One have those haptic triggers which apparently make the game the best thing since sliced biltong.
So which game are you going to get?

Seriously Guys, this is just CLASS, Im glad forza has decided to humble themselves, because there is no one that can convey the feelings and raw emotion of being a Gran turismo FAN. Can not wait to sink my teeth into this game. And the Night racing in Nascar looks fantastic. The only thing GT is missing now for next generation is a massive improvement to the weather system, trackside details, Massive improvement to mesh and lightning models, 100% premium models. As well as a more convincing crash model. Sound is horrendous and is probably the last piece of the puzzle needed before GT can attain the title of true driving simulator……well according to me.

Damn Lans, that comment nearly brought a tear to my eye. I’m so stoked for this game! Does anyone know of any good wheel setups that will work for PS3 but also be compatible ahead for PS4 now? I’m stuck in a crappy spot…
Alex [SS] PsyChoPanthis
November 5, 2013 at 14:09
Logitech G27 wheel is your best bet and as far as i know Sony have said all current wheels will be compatible. Ive only got a driving force pro, but my mate has the G27 and im surprised i havnt murdered him for it yet…
Nick de Bruyne
November 5, 2013 at 14:12
Hmm wow OK thanks, Ill take a look into it. Im planning to move to a house soon, so Ill finally have space again for a wheel setup. Thats why for now that MS Speed Wheel has been such a Godsend. Its not as good as a full wheel, but at least it has 1to1 analog steering, which makes a MASSIVE difference compared to a controller setup that kinda turns at a set speed. Too bad something liek that isn’t available for PS3 (or does it? DANNN DANNN DAHHHHHH)
SPDHUNTER
November 5, 2013 at 14:31
Definitely get a g27 if you can. There are other wheels like Fanatec but they cost way more in our market.
I don’t touch a racing game without using my g27 and over the last 3 years have not had a single problem. 6-speed shifter, heel-toe down shifting works perfectly.
Only problem, it’s not compatible with X360 and Xbox One if you wanted to use it on those consoles. (Beyond me why MS has not corrected this).
Spathi
November 5, 2013 at 14:52
A G25 will also do if you can get one in a good condition for a good price!
Yeah, the main reason I don’t play Forza (because it is a awesome game) is because of the lack of support for proper wheels (Fanatec aside).
MacDoodle
November 5, 2013 at 15:49
You won’t be disappointed with the g27 especially if you hook up to a Playseat, I paid R3k for mine back in 09, but a mate bought it for me in HK, awesome feedback and accuracy only downside is that its a bit noisy
lans
November 5, 2013 at 14:45
Gonna wait it out, and see what wheels GT6 supports, but save bet would be a G27. Hopefully Kaz and Logitech team up for another DFGT revision for GT7, as while the current wheel is adequate i feel that it is in need for an update.

“Honestly I can’t see the point in going into that much detail but hey if it floats your boat and the other game can’t do it then that’s a selling point right?”
You put the right sky in there, or Neil Degrasse Tyson will come fuck you up. He harassed James Cameron until they made the night sky that Jack/What’s her face were looking at after the Titanic sunk (spoiler alert), reflect the actual sky that was there at the exact moment the Titanic went down (originally, they used the wrong sky, AND mirrored half of it…Tyson was extremely annoyed at this lol).
And instead of stupid, useless car bling, adding environment detail is a much more appropriate use of the developers time, imo.

If Polyphony paid attention to the sound, and weren’t so lazy with their “standard and Premium” cars, it would kick Forza ass.
The sound of a car is integral to the enjoyment felt when belting it around, even in videogames. It’s an essential aspect to get right.
Until Polyphony sort these things out, I will be sticking with Forza.
On another note, my PS3 doesn’t work, it gives me this flashing red/yellow light (i can’t remember) and the shop I went to to fix it said there’s no guarantee the fix will work.. For R500!
Worth it? Or should I wait for PS4..? Coz I really want to play GoW:A and Last of Us.. And GT6 IF they get it right.. What other great PS3 games are out/coming soon?
