I'm unable to verify runs that require menu verification that are in languages other than English. I don't play the game now. Quality of the video may be too low to try to match it with other videos. If there are moderators that understand languages in pending runs then please use your powers.
Players: please set your game language to English.
If anyone of the mods here, or people that submitted some runs previously, wants to create and run the GT6 dedicated Discord server, I can add it as the link. The server must be with no racist or homophobia shit. If there won't be suggestions, later, I will add the server that FeelsBadSkillz posted. Which seems to be general Gran Tursmo series server - non GT6 dedicated.
Hi. It looks interesting and it could be added as a category. I can add it, but you need to write the rules - for the rules tab. As it's not 100% clear for me about what they would be based on the video. But maybe they're simple and I just don't remember the mode details. If other mods can help or do this instead of me then that good too.
Hello @RotaMota. I've added Glitchless Any% as you suggested, and I also think it make sense to have this category.
I've written up some rules already, but if they need to be better then we can make changes as needed. E.g. whether the restriction must be to use latest, 1.22, version of the game or not. But that could be problematic, if the developer still decided to update the game. Unlikely, but may happen on new consoles somehow. Or should the rule about banning any further, not discovered yet glitches, be included? But I think the purpose of the category should be obvious.
I'm thinking about adding more rules for submitting individual track runs. It should be required to include, in the video, car selection and car stat screens. This is for categories that specify caps, like performance points or car type.
Suggestions or notes are welcome.
Hi. As for Any% category, I think the rule that timer stops at the ending movie is the best. On trophy popup is good too but may be problematic for people who already have it unlocked but deleted their game save - for them the trophy won't appear the second time. It originally has been set like that, to the ending movie, but we agreed to change it. Sorry, not running this category myself, just wanted to add my thoughts.
So they deleted newer video but left older one live? Just brilliant. But I think you should keep updated, better record, unchanged on the leaderboards. Just put the alternate-record-video in place of the original one, and update its comment if you like. Since we had had verified it in the first place anyway and it's not your fault.
In general, we could also create the segmented category for any of these 100% runs. there could also be a requirement defining minimum segment length. or other similar requirements. but yeah, single segment is the pure run here. just if you would like otherwise.
@Wagner1222 If you're going to do such speedrun and have recording of it then i shall add the category for it. just post it here instead, and tell which one of the two it is.
sounds like a long run and a lot of work. personally, i would want to have it archivized here, if it's in decent quality and such.
@Marcherify yes glitches are not banned in Any% run. if in some way you trigger the winning condition of the final race that triggers the ending movie then yes, timer should stop at the last player input. but i'm not sure about that. otherwise it may be required to trigger the ending movie by the means of reaching the finish line. if someone sees it differently then please comment.
1- wich is the diference between any car and normal car, also in what conditions a car is a racing car?
I have updated rules for Racing and Normal Car category, hopefully they're more clear now and not too long because they also include some explanations. Click the View Rules button to read them.
It appears the only way to check if car is normal or not is only by Career Mode race events, and not even by many of them. Only 3 or so events can tell you if car is as such. Eg. enter Super category of tournaments, then select first one, then select any track, then see if the Normal Car text is not flashing red. https://www.speedrun.com/gt6/Deep_Forest_Raceway#Normal_Car
Also added new fields to run submit form. including car name.
If anyone needs some motivation, then you could try speed run tracks that are exclusive to GT6, that are not in GT Sport, for example. Check the link to GT wiki page: http://gran-turismo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Gran_Turismo_courses
right now i've added global restrictions to Individual Level categories (the ones that show up when you press the View Rules button). not calling them final. based on how it was in the game, i think they make sense:
Grip Reduction: Real Active steering: Off Skid recovery force: Off Nitro Kit: Not allowed Race Difficulty: Professional (only if with AI)
e.g. "Skid recovery force" should be forbidden because it does look like feature for beginner players, if it's doing what is says, it could potentially be used to exploit some tracks or cars. online events, if i remember correctly, all of them had it forbidden.
"the limitations on the track could be on crashing or creating other sub category about weather conditions"
but if combined, it could create quite many sub-categories, my dilemma is how to minimize them, so that there is the best chance players want to run the same categories.
Maximized we coild have combination of following:
- by Performance Points
- by number of laps
- by car class, normal/racing/VisionGT
- by weather
- by power
- by tires
- by clean or with collisions
- by weight
- by engine type, like Turbo or Normal
- ...
but instead, maybe combining some of them together, like:
- 400pp, but tires max Sports Soft
- 500pp, but tires max Racing Hard
- rain weather only in 600pp
the game had online feature, it had seasonal events (or how it was called?). and these events had restrictions that made a lot of sense, at least in my opinion. maybe we could replicate some of them here. career mode in game has similar restrictions on events, based on car performance, but i think the online ones were slightly better.
e.g. installing racing hard tires on 500pp or lightweight car does make it handle better. but what also happens is that handling is less forgiving and small mistakes are made more significant, because car becomes very responsive.
let me know what you think.
"what are the limits for the track then? Are times invalidated by the game itself allowed?"
yes, going by in-game time for individual lap records should be it. any problems that arise in case of very small differences, because of short times on single lap runs, are going to be resolved manually, i would assume.
thanks for your interest in moderating GT6 runs here. if you start submitting runs, or bring runs by other players, i could add you to the moderators here. otherwise, there aren't many runs posted and i don't know if there are people, or how many are there, that would like to submit their runs, if any.
yes, it can be done. the question is what categories to create. do you have any suggestions? im tinking creating categories that people would like to speedrun first, then, later we could add more. do you know any racing game here that we can use as an example for categories?
EDIT: added Level Leaderboard and all tracks (hopefully no mistakes, can be corrected if needed).
oh, apologizes. i thought wrong, that it was avoidable. i edit it back to how it was originally. thanks for the info.
yes, i can change it to crossing the finish line. currently it shouldn't matter much as runs are tend to be very long. i was thinking as at first race status screen as it would be easier for the player to stop the clock there - but again, long speedruns.
makes sense, i'll update the rules box. if anyone else has some thoughts on this, please let us know.
rules:
- timer start: at status screen exit (distance traveled is 0)
- timer stop: at last race status screen
- gamesave with 15th anniversary cannot be used (Vision Gran Turismo cars not banned)
hi. this is not established, actually. i didn't planned to run any% category myself so left it open. yes, your suggestion makes sense and i could add it to 'rules' box.
other way i was thinking, it might be specified is: at the status screen, where it says how much time raced and how much distance traveled (which should be 0 for both) and start timer at the moment exited from that screen. because it may be useful to start runs from save with custom controller and graphics presets from save backed up to the usb device, for more convenient resets. that introduction race can be skipped completely, simply by start button menu - current any% speedrun by killashrugamer doesn't do this, actually. if you dont like my suggestion then we should go by yours, ie. on player name screen.
because all previous GT games have ending movie in career mode, i make it say "reach ending movie". so i think stop position should be at the moment movie starts. but it can also be changed to the pos of the last race end. as this seems to be long run and any timers of past runs can be readjusted if needed.
about Vision Gran Turismo cars. i wouldnt ban them for this category, as it should be kept as simple as possible, i think. but problems may arise related to eg. network game updates, downloadable rewards or if someone would like to speedrun on game version 1.0. they weren't banned initially so runs with them should be ok.
are you interested in other categories too or mainly in any% run? by other categories i mean something made up, like trophy runs, overtakes, etc. as usually other racing games doesn't have them added.
