BMW M4 Coupe Launches on Gran Turismo 6 (w/ First Drive Video)

jonasaurus · 12-12-2013, 11:11 AM

On the whole it's really well balanced. Does seem to suffer from a bit of understeer in the game. Limited mods available too

Edit: Mineral grey looking good!

positiveions · 12-12-2013, 11:23 AM

WOw. Time to buy GT6

aflatness · 12-12-2013, 11:32 AM

I need this game ASAP. It's a shame they are only allowing it for 2 weeks, wish it was longer

bmwluvr24 · 12-12-2013, 11:45 AM

The online event for the M4 is only up for two weeks, but the car remains in your garage for use. No worries!!

They should give the M3/4 to Forza as well. Forza knows how to make a car sound, look, and drive good.

And because I bought a Xbox one

Law · 12-12-2013, 12:17 PM

I play with a Logitech G25 full pedal & steering wheel setup.
It has a tad bit of understeer mid corner but is not shy to get the rear end loose with throttle manipulation.
Feels nimble, light, and definitely has an abundance of torque accelerating out of corners, noticeable differences compared to the E9X.

If it drives like how it does in the game like they say, then that's good news. Looking forward to updates so we can see the interior and be able to modify it in the game. (I was gonna put TE37 on it

)

waiting for the Forza 5 version

Trust me, if you played Forza 5 you will be disapointed if you play GT6. GT6 is only a small Update to GT5. And the tiresqueeking is so annoying and often totally unrealistic.

Actually, I have always preferred GT to Forza....different strokes.

IMO bit more than a small update to GT5, physics engine is totally different, which is evident playing them back to back. If you don't consider that to be a big change then sure the rest are mostly aesthetic and menu based improvements.

Right the physics engine is different. But i don't like it very much.
I am playing it for 3 days now and for me it's not a must have. But those are only my 2 cents. Hopefully the new GT7 for PS4 will be a lot better.

Forza 4 > GT5

I have to see how they turn out.

Z8chP · 12-12-2013, 09:32 PM

I think it handles great. It steps out but is easily controllable. My s2000 is a lot twitchier. You definitely feel the weight compared to the e46 but it still feels nimble.

It's nice, fresh and stealth-looking ... we said the same when they introduced the E92 M3. The new iteration comes out, and our beloved car we adored is banished. Such is life.

True but this F80 M3 in Mineral Gray with black rims looks much better than the E90 by a hair, and if you go on bmw.com on the M3 configurator and go to the rear the arches are so wide!!!

The driving physics in GT6 are much better and FM5 is lacking cars! But it improved alot from FM4 physics wise.

bmwluvr24 · 12-13-2013, 01:50 AM

I agree that the physics are far better in GT6. I have played Forza religiously and I love it, but GT6 is the better game this time.
