Gran Turismo 6

Gran Turismo 6 (グランツーリスモ 6 Guran Tsūrisumo Shikkusu, commonly abbreviated as GT6) is a racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the sixth main entry, and twelfth game overall in the Gran Turismo series, and the final game in the series to be released for the PS3. It was released worldwide on December 5th, 2013.

Gran Turismo 6 is the first-ever video game to have officially certified FIA content.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A large number of new cars were added such as FIA GT3 cars, more LMP cars, and new manufacturers such as Hudson, Stielow Engineering, and more.
 * 2) * The roster contains 1,200+ cars, the most ever in a single video game, until an obscure indie game called Switchcars and the mod Ultimate Car Pack from Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now came along.
 * 3) * Also, DLC cars, Stealth Model and Chrome Line versions of cars that previously appeared in the previous game appeared as regular cars to purchase.
 * 4) This is the first Gran Turismo game to be FIA-certified, making it a serious racing game.
 * 5) Some standard cars that have appeared in the previous game have been re-updated with detailed interiors such as the Mercedes-Benz Sauber C9 '89, Bentley Speed 8 '03, Toyota 2000GT '67, or Corvette Stingray (C2) '63.
 * 6) Vision Gran Turismo is a new feature that sells futuristic concept cars. The Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo is free for newcomers.
 * 7) It still had the same great and funny fanbase in lobbies related to drag races, dirty races, clean races, car shows and cruises and even the infamous money glitch with the infamous track "Circle Grinder 3" in Death Valley.
 * 8) You can change the color whenever you want without losing paint chips as occurred in the previous game.
 * 9) In update 1.21, the Track Path Editor was available in which you could create your own tracks, test and share it in the community.
 * 10) There had a plenty of crazy and infamous tracks made by various users which were memorable. Some examples include:
 * 11) * Rollercoaster: A track with 22,226.6ft which is much taller.
 * 12) * Circle Grinder 3: A track that looked like a 1/4 mile with a long distance of 30km, but you skip a huge part of the track causing you to win 90,000 credits in 10 seconds if you have the 200% of bonus credits.
 * 13) * Earthquake Effect: A track that shakes that screen during the race.
 * 14) * 60mm Homestraight: A shorter track with a glitch that if you go to the back part of the pit section, the screen would turn black; this makes your car make weird noises and this also makes your car reach an insane speed like 800km/h. The wheels of the car grow very fast to the point where the screen is completely black due to the bigger wheels.
 * 15) * Eifel Mountains: A track where you were driving off road. You could must take note that in many cases, once you exit of the race, the game crashes.
 * 16) * Drop Test (29.000 FT Elevation Range): A crazy track that can make your car go downhill reaching a speed of more than 1000km/h.
 * 17) Unlike many Gran Turismo games, you must race in cars that meets the PP restrictions to prevent players from using an overpowered car in certain events.
 * 18) Every car in the game can be purchased without some unnecessary levelling system that locks cars away from you until you hit a certain level.
 * 19) The SRT Tomahawk X Vision Gran Turismo is one of the fastest cars in the entire series, even faster than the Red Bull X series. Also this car later became famous for money farming in World Touring Car 600 in Tokyo Expressway - East Clockwise in Gran Turismo 7 before they patch in the update 1.15.
 * 20) One of the updates added a special Ayrton Senna tribute event, which not only catalogues the highlights of his life and career, but allows the player to unlock some of the cars he drove in his racing career up until his untimely death.
 * 21) Special events based on real events like the NASA moon exploration, and the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed event.
 * 22) The Circuito de la Sierra Time Trial gives the aesthetics and the gameplay in a OutRun style.
 * 23) Amazing soundtrack.
 * 24) The Spec II Mod is a improvement of the base game which improves the sounds of cars and contains all of the older Seasonal Events as well contains all of Gran Turismo 4 driving missions. Also custom courses are back!.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Just like its predecessor, the installation time is ridiculously long, clocking in at around an hour. Installing the updates is still far worse the main install and can take several hours.
 * 2) Microtransactions were introduced in this game, since the game has a very strict economy. Luckily, it isn't very intrusive like in Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7.
 * 3) The online services shut down on March 28, 2018. Unlike Gran Turismo 5, they didn't give an update about ending the services, though at least there are no online trophies this time, making the platinum trophy still obtainable.
 * 4) The game was released only for the PS3 instead of the PS4, and it was released a month after the PS4 is released.
 * 5) No final seasonal event that added prize cars from Gran Turismo Sport.
 * 6) Many of the standard cars still don't meet the graphical standards of 2013, and some of them, like the Toyota GT-One Race Car (TS020) '99, look absolutely horrendous in photo mode.
 * 7) Some Vision Gran Turismo cars are missing.
 * 8) * Speaking of the Vision GT cars, the Bugatti Vision GT and the Hyundai N 2025 Vision GT were planned to be appear in Gran Turismo 6, but they were moved to Gran Turismo Sport along with the unreleased Vision GT cars, just like the Daihatsu Copen RJ Vision GT.
 * 9) The paint chips that are originally available in GT5 as Paint Pack DLC are only obtained in Seasonal Events meaning that if you didn't start the game before the services shut down, obtaining those paint chips is now impossible unless you use the Spec II mod.
