I-saga yeGran Turismo kungekudala iza kuba noshicilelo lwesi-6. Kuhle ukuba iPolyphony yenze umsebenzi wabo wasekhaya. Ngaphandle koko kukho i-console eya kubandezeleka ...
Njengoko sihambela phambili apha, u-Sony wayesele eza kubhengeza enye indlela "eyona simulator yokuqhuba yokwenyani" iGran Turismo 6 yePlaystation 3. Kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo ndoyika eyona nto imbi. Ndandisoyika ukuba i-Gran Turismo 6 isibhengezo yayiyeyesizukulwana esilandelayo se-Playstation kwaye ukuba oko kwenzeka ndiza kuthatha i-sledgehammer kwaye ndiphule "PS3" yam! Isithembiso seScout.
Ndiyavuma ukuba andisadlali ngemidlalo yeqonga okanye iFPS enokubulawa kwabantu okungapheliyo. Kwelinye icala, ii-simulators zokuqhuba ziqhubeka nokungcangcazela “ulutsha olunamaqhakuva” ngaphakathi kum. Yiyo loo nto ndithenge iPlaystation 3. Ukuqhubeka nokudlala iSaga yeGran Turismo. Umdlalo bendidlala nawo ukusukela ngeentsuku ze-1st Playstation.
Kwakuxa ndandidlala iGran Turismo apho ndafunda ukuba ubomi buhle ngakumbi xa uqhuba ivili elingasemva. Ukuba i-wheel drive yangaphambili "iyadika" (ok ... ayizizo zonke) kwaye i-wheel drive ye-4 ingakhawuleza, kodwa ayimnandi kangako. Oko kulungelelaniswa kudlala indima ebalulekileyo kutshintsho lwemoto kwaye ndifunde nentsingiselo yamagama afana ne-toe-in, toe-out, camber kunye namanye amagama amaninzi athetha ngakumbi kwiinjineli kunesihlwele se-console.
Ena, ndijonge ngasemva ndiye ndafunda okuninzi malunga neemoto ezihleli esofeni ndijonge kumabonakude olawula kude esandleni sam…
Iinkumbulo ecaleni, iGran Turismo 6 ibonakala izimisele ukuzalisekisa izithembiso ezishiywe nguGran Turismo 5 zingazalisekanga. Ngaphandle komgangatho wayo ongachanekanga kunye nemizobo emangalisayo, iGran Turismo 5 yayiyinto yokuphoxeka. Okokuqala ngenxa yokuba amanqanaba okulinganisa ayeyimingxuma embalwa ngaphantsi koqikelelo kwaye okwesibini ngenxa yokuba ugqatso “belucoceke kakhulu” ngokwenyani «iintloko zepetroli».
Singasathethi ke ngokuhlehliswa okulandelelanayo kunye nelo nyhikityha “yedemo ehlawulweyo” abagqibe kwelokuba bayithengise ngokungathi ngumdlalo opheleleyo. Bayibiza ngokuba yiGran Turismo Prologue. Okwangoku, kwicala staminé - funda iMicrosoft… - ii-simulators ziphuma "njengeebhanti ezishushu" zeX-Box console.
Ngelixa abathengi be-X-Box babenelungelo lokuba andazi ukuba bangaphi na ooForza, abathengi bakwaSony babenelungelo lokufumana “idemo ehlawulweyo” kunye neGran Turismo enye kuphela. Ibonakala incinci. Ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje, ngaphandle kobaxo sele ndizisola izihlandlo ezili-10,000 kwii-euro ezingama-400 endizihlawulele kwikhonsoli yakwaSony. Ngethamsanqa, amaJapan abonakala efuna ukuzikhulula.
Imifanekiso yeGran Turismo 6 entsha iyazithetha, umdlalo mhle kunangaphambili. Kodwa njengoko sonke sigcwele imizobo emihle, kulungile ukwazi ukuba iPolyphony ithembisa amanqanaba okulinganisa ngokusondeleyo "kubomi bokwenyani". Ukuze kuphunyezwe obu bunyani, umvelisi wasebenzisa iingcaphephe ezimbini ezibalaseleyo kwihlabathi leemoto, ibrendi yamatayara eYokohama kunye ne-KW Automotive, uphawu olwaziwayo lokunqunyanyiswa. Ngoko ke kulindelekile ukuba sifumane kwi-injini entsha ye- «physics» ye-Gran Turismo 6 algorithms efana nezo zisetyenziswa zezi mpawu, okanye ubuncinane kunye nemiphumo ephathekayo efanayo.
Ngokubhekiselele kuluhlu lweemoto, luya kuba lukhulu njengangaphambili. Ukongeza kwiimoto esele zikhona kwi-5, iGran Turismo 6 iya kongeza, phakathi kwezinye, imodeli efana ne-Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, Alpine A110 1600S, Ferrari Dino 246 GT, KTM X-BOW R kunye neMercedes-Benz SLS AMG. GT3. Itotali ye-1200 yeemoto ezinokwenziwa ngokwezifiso ezinokwenzeka ngeendlela ezininzi. Umhleli wengoma oqale kwiGran Turismo 5 naye uphuculwe, ovumela umdlali ukuba "avelise" umkhondo wabo wamaphupha.
Kuhlala kusithiwa nabani na "ohleka okokugqibela, ohleka kakhulu" kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba emva kweminyaka eliqela emva kweMicrosoft xa kufikwa kwizilingisi, u-Sony uza kubuyela phezulu. Ndiyathemba ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba iGran Turismo 6 iya kundinika iiyure ezininzi zolonwabo emva kwevili, kungenjalo ndithandazele iPlaystation 3 yam ehlwempuzekileyo…
