It would be nice if they include Reasonably Priced Cars and standing start for the Top Gear track.
Stig outfit too?
The sounds are a deal breaker by themselves. There is no excuse to not have them revamped and I'm sick of them.
I haven't yet seen anything to set it apart from GT5. What does this game fix of GT5's problems?
Is the career better laid out with more interesting events? They seem to claim that is the case in the press release
Is anything improved about the standard cars? No info yet. But they have announced 1200 cars in the game, so my guess is there are still standard cars which are probably slightly more polished
Have they done anything to streamline the menus? The press release states that the menus etc. should be much improved and more intuitive
especially a global setting to turn off the damn driving aids instead of having to do it every single time you get into a car? The demo at Silverstone had a very similar pre-race menu to GT5, so no global setting - yet anyway
This much more important to me than marginally improved graphics.
And yes, sounds exactly the same, though to be fair that seemed like a camera-pointed-at-TV video.
With how Yamauchi thinks, I would be surprised if the sounds are improved. He is going for the raw unfiltered driving experience, and the sounds are just that. They recorded them and put them directly into the game without any kind of post processing effects to doctor up the sound to make it sound better on your average home audio setup. How the cars sound in the game is how they sounded when they were recorded, yet this does not translate well when played back over TV speakers or even a good surround sound setup.
I personally want the sounds to be tweak to bring out the experience one would hear standing next to the car, and not just what one would hear when listening to a recording.
Will there be ?Standard Cars? in GT6?
We won?t be making all the Standard cars from GT5 into Premium models, and we won?t make all of the GT5?s Standard cars fully ?Premiumized?.
Up until now, we used to categorize them as Standard and Premium because there were functional differences between them: some of the Standard models might not have tuning parts, or couldn?t be used in Photo Mode. That will all be cleared so every model can be used in Photo Mode, and every car can have parts fitted for it.
In terms of graphics quality, the bad quality Standard models we?ve updated so they look better.
Will all of the cars have interior views?
No.
(Editor?s note: This apparently does not apply to all of the cars which were listed as ?Standard? in GT5. For example, two cars which were prominently featured in the GT6 trailer and its first official batch of screenshots, the Lamborghini Countach LP400 and Alpine A110 1600S, both appeared as Standard cars in GT5 but have apparently been converted to ?full? Premium models ? with interiors ? in GT6.)

I think that's being a bit generous, for instance I know what a stock WRX should sound like from inside the car and it ain't that
Except their recordings don't translate through speakers into realistic sounds. They are lacking in all sorts of depth and bass which you'd get from the actual car. It doesn't matter how well they recorded the sounds, the playback is complete crap.
Yamauchi in an interview said that the sounds in the game are straight recordings. They did nothing to the audio, and that what you are hearing is what they recorded.
Which is why I brought up the part about what a recording picks up and what YOU actually hear. Yes, in person the car sounds better than a recording, and will always sound better unless a sound design team takes those recordings and "doctors" them up to match the experience one would have if they were standing next to the car. The latter is what Yamauchi said they did not do, and is why the cars sound like they do.

Yes, I know, that is what I said
