Following the community reaction to some of the intricacies of the downloadable content released earlier in the week (or next week for North America), Kazunori Yamauchi has been busy working on solutions and responding to complaints via Twitter. The latest of these includes a nod to the present, one-off nature of the car pack:
We’re planning an another update for GT5 in December. In that update users who purchased cars and tracks from the DLC already, can receive a free “family upgrade” in the PS Store, which will let all users in the same PS console use the DLC.
People who bought the DLC cars will have those cars added to the dealers in the December update.
After this December update you can purchase a second car and so on from the dealer.
This comes as great news to gamers who’ve bought the car pack but who have been reticent to drive the cars for fear of wearing them out and for those unable to buy the DLC packs for their primary Gran Turismo gaming accounts (or their children’s accounts).
Following on from these Tweets, Yamauchi also provided a tantalising teaser (and a small caution) to those gamers who have already purchased the DLC packs:
Next, don’t get your hopes up too high, but PDI is also readying a X-mas present for those who’ve already bought multiple DLCs.
Quite what form the “present” will take, or what “multiple” means isn’t clear, but we have two months to speculate. Thanks to homeforsummer for the tip-off!

I hope that ‘multiple’ includes the complete pack ><
MMM, let’s hope it isn’t too late & little.
Greetings stano666.
Point No.1
I think noone else has mentioned that, you cannot adjust the diff. of the new cars, or buy adjustable diffs for them… That really forces you to make some compromises to your setup and that, over a distance at least, will make the car slower…
So… Adjustable diffs please… The R32s massive understeer could probably be helped with a tweakable front and rear diff. Also in the R32 TC, the centre diff controller’s stock setting is F:150% R:-50%… Glitch?
Point No.2
I really enjoyed the DLC packs… value for money was acceptable… Not excellent but I didn’t mind paying for it… GT5 is running away with it… Excellent game and as far as tuned road cars go, it’s remarkably close to real life… No other game can get this close to simulating both road cars and race cars so well…
i will buy dlc on oct25 in my US store
but: my game is US and my user UK
can play on my user UK with DLC(US) on Dec????
Plz Anwer :(
This will NOT work because Europe uses PAL and US uses NTSC, sorry.
I actually downloaded the cars using my UK account but play the game on my main US account and the cars show up fine. Side noted: because I already had the GTR Stealth GT500 from launch, downloading it as a freebie didn’t work in that I didn’t get an extra one or anything.
With the mention of DLC cars being available for purchase from their respective dealers, does anybody know if that’s going to apply to the people who bought collector’s/signature editions? Personally I bought the signature edition so I have the 11 bonus cars that were included but I’ve haven’t touched them for fear of wear and tear.
Nice shot!
Reintroduce the goddamn Test Track events. :(
i think they are gona give us all stealth cars
I’d love to see more American 1950’s and 1960’s cars.
1976 Corvette Can-Am racecar
1969 GTO
1957 Ford
1959 Cadillac
I own a couple classic cars and it would be awesome just to cruise around a track in them!
PD has to still be modeling cars. They stated that the premium cars in GT5 are basically compatible models in GT6. And knowing that one of the BIGGEST complaints from game reviewers, blogs, and fans, is the lack of late model, desired cars by most people’s standards. Case in point, Forza 4 has the Lamborghini Reventon, GT5 has the VW Samba Bus. Which one do you think most people would love to drive? I think PD knows this and are hard at work at trying to correct their direction. I think that PD has some actually NEW CARS as DLC coming. For Christmas, we’ll have to see.
All in all, I’m VERY confident PD knows they’ve got to get more late model and desired cars. Even with all the glitches and paint chip issues, this is something killing GT5.

believe he is using the 3rd definition of this word.
Not that I knew the word, had to look it up myself when I first read that LOL
“reticent to drive the cars for fear of wearing them out”
What does this mean?
Region specific has been in gt5 from almost the beggining ie: the “edge” camaro.And chances are your freebie will be an X1 in the stars ‘n’stripes colours :)
I dont see the big issue with dlc being locked to 1 account (I have 3 btw 1 jp 1 usa & 1 Uk) just buy it on the main one !! Jeez. I do although feel a little robbed when people who havent payed for the pack can still use spa online ! I wont be buying track pacs again thats for sureunless they make the packs 1 big bundle where its 1 price and you get everything, no choice.
Man, I just don’t get the bashing this guy Kaz takes all the time. Bending backwards to please people and still people find something to complain about, like blocky shadows. Hopefully the guy doesn’t get too fed up and “retire” like 99.9% of other nameless developers do. Love GT5 and would have bought the DLC despite all the complaints.
Same here. I’ve seen all the recent news and my first thought was wow that man has been exceedingly busy trying to keep us all happy with his game. Of course Kaz could put everything that everyone wanted in the game and people would still do the old B&M.
Agree. idk many other games that the head Dev talks daily to their fans, constantly updates and TRIES.
Wonder if they’ll ever make a 1 billion credits dlc!?
Just in time for Christmas Boys and Girls! or Valentines, Easter or next Christmas! Don’t get your hopes up though!!! :)
Good reaction from PD. I guess Sony wanted to get lots of money from this DLC and Kaz now backfires this to them like : “Told you so…” . That’s at least how it looks from this. Not sure if that’s what actually happened of couorse :)
PS3 is region free for games.
The DLC just needs to be matched to region. e.g France with France, USA with USA. It has always been this way. You can access other regions game store freely.
You are right but not all DLC is region locked either. Like the Armor for Lost Planet 2 from the JP store worked on NA version game.
Well done! Thx PD! To be honest, that was the only way you could do to not loose a big part of GT-Fans after this totaly money oriented dlc business modell..
now DLC’s working in evey PSN in Same PS3?
When did Sony abandon idea of region free PS3 gaming? Why you can play any region game with any region PS3, but DLC is region locked????
Thanks Kaz & PD! Good call..
Thank you Kaz. Your team has done great work!
We need new premium cars!!!
It makes me wonder why you type on the keyboard iridegravity, I would takle your own advice 1st and quit trolling – they are 2 different types styles of games. GT by far has the best physics engine out there but Forza has cars and customisation options that GT does not yet offer.
I bought the GT5 signature edition plus have owned every GT and PS incarnation but if I choose to have both consoles and enjoy both games for two different reasons then I will and F&*^ you if you try to tell me otherwise. I love cars and racing games not a fanboy of either console or francise its called being open minded.
You gonna tell me there is only one type of car thats worthwhile owning when there are countless gems from Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, Aston, BMW ect. Horses for courses. Or you gonna throw up your “Smart Peeps” BS again.
I LOVE GT5 but I’m not married to it or any other game or console. If you are then you may very well be an objectum sexual (and possibly have some mummy/daddy issues goin on) if you don’t know what that is then google it and educate yourself. If you wanna be one or the other great – but I’m and anyone else who wishes to is going to excerise my / their free will. You would have done well back in the days of the communistic eastern block with your natzish sentiments however it was nice to school you once again D*&&wad
I hope the December update is more exotic European and American cars(muscle cars). Like the new Maserati, Lambo, Veryon SS, etc. Please not another Nissan please
Awesome! Thanks Kaz!!!
Seems like PD handles their business…..everybody needs to cut them a little break here, lots of people have “typed” a lot of bad crap about a company that seems to listen to their market. Can’t wait to get my hands on the DLC.
I went in a few French and Japanese rooms last night and drove SPA….LOVE IT…..GREAT TRACK….and then I got in some kart I and kart II rooms and WOW!!!!! I hated the PDI 100 kart till now…….really fun kart tracks…most fun I’ve had racing in a while.
Since I don’t have the DLC yet (north america) can somebody that has the DLC answer me a question?? can you adjust the transmission (gearing) of the 125 kart??
I was smoking everybody in the rooms with a little gearing adjustment but that 125 sounded pretty good at times…..I saved a replay watched it and that 125 was barely starting to come on the pipe in those tracks and when it did get fast enough to catch the power band it would spin out. looks to be a really fun kart if you can adjust the gearing like the PDI 100 and get the power down……………..speaking of PDI and them working on a christmas gift….. I’ve been thinking a 125 shifter would be cool for a while and well the original 100 kart was a PDI 100 sooooooo PDI 125 SHIFTER?? just speculation of course
KEEP THE DLC COMING……..TRACKS TRACKS TRACKS TRACKS….and a FEW cars
yes , agree with you!!
TRACKS TRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKSTRACKS
for the future
I don’t really use my other accounts, so it’s a meh for me.
Theres new seasonals and dealerships
sorry PD you have fallen to far behind and have not learned from other developers. GT Series is fun but will never be as great as PC sims. i wait and I wait. but all i hear is fan-boys praising you PD, why youve done nothing great aside from the assortment of cars to drive. thats it. losing hope for GT seires. thats sad. maybe PD should drop the playstation and move over to PC and then i think GT could shine.
You don’t realize we aren’t as rich and “enlightened” like you are. Most of us are to poor to afford a Personal Computer like you. The reason most of us play on consoles is because we can’t afford “PC sims” while you can. PD switching to a who different OP would be pointless work. Since you’re the only one rich enough to own a “PC sim”. I apologize but I’ll be playing on my PS3 as the rest of us. I don’t understand why you’re supporting the PC when you can’t play GT5 on it. Oh, wait. You called us “fanboys” so obviously you don’t want to be one. You also called the GT Series “sad”. We don’t want a pessimist on GT5 anyway. Go on, play your favorite PC game.
So what makes pc sims so great? I’ve played alot of them…..got bored after 20 minutes of each, no diversity, physics are on par, but not quite that great, I would say iRacing probably has the closest hit on the pc, but still..not THAT amazing.
Race 07 series, GTR2, Rfactor, iRacing, LFS, P.T., played em….uninstalled em.
Having driven a couple cars in GT5, they feel pretty accurate, they drive and have the same strengths and ailments as their real counterparts. I can’t hardly say that about pc sims, even then ones that DID have some of the same cars…which is very rare…
If PD makes this much money, attraction of ppl, and long life, then how does your “fact” make any sense? I mean look at who’s winning. It’s fine if that’s your opinion, but what’s the point of even coming on here to tell everyone? that lonely?
teminator363, don’t feel “unenlightened” you have been enlightened by a great company that actually STICKS with their games, almost even daily, and provides something no other game has.
Yay, they addressed my main problem!
If I purchase the DLC on Christmas will I get the XMAS present?
Read thru the threads and you will get your answer. If you can’t be bothered to do that then you will just have to wait
Are you really that lazy to give me a simple answer?
Gogo Kaz and his team. They rule. :D Gotta love them. :)
this is all a joke but ehhh its w.e im not in no rush to buy this DLC lol “family”..MY ASS!!…ima baawwsss!!! that is all
Good job Kaz, you rock!
(I wonder if he’ll even read these)
I’m ok with this.
Top job PD. Keep it up!
I wonder what strings will be attached to the free “family upgrade” in the PS Store. Maybe only for PS+ account holders? It just smells fishy to me. Buy the DLC now and we will fix it two months later. There’s a sucker born every minute.
What R32 is that in the picture? It looks pretty sick. Haven’t seen one with a wing like that.
I think that is one that came out in the DLC Racing Car Pack… just changed the color
You’ve got to hand it to Kaz for being on the ball with this DLC. Kaz and his team must be paying good attention to these forums in particular for this issue to be remedied so quick. This kind of swift attention helps me forget about the long wait and delays we went through before Gt5 was released. Looking forward to Xmas for a little treat from the polyphony team!
I just bought the DLC today and now i really want to know what the gift is. ;)
Better come up with new DLC before December:P And after that a X-Mas DLC lol that would be badass:P too bad it wont happen
How can you get non region matching disk :/
The “Family Upgrade” is a good start but alot of people still have 2 systems, and non region matching discs…
My concern has been addressed with family upgrade. thanks Kaz.
Spec 3.0?
We just got spec 2.0 so I would err on the side of patience
woah i love the looks of that car!
So does that mean I can buy the dlc cars on gt5 in-game dealership?
Come December, yes.
That is why I love this game. Even when they get something really wrong there’s a whole community that wants to defend their wrights. It’s something that is not very common nowadays and PD should be proud of such grown up and loyal consumers they have. What makes GT the great game it is now are not just graphics or phisics but also the players. So kudos to everyone that demanded change and for PD for listening to us.
:tup:
That was nice of him, and a good move on his part. He didn’t even have to do this honestly, he could have left it the way it was and been greedy, but he didn’t… I can respect him for that.
I was on the fence about getting the DLC now that he solved my biggest concerns, I will be getting this for sure! Thank you Kaz. Much respect for the effort and dedication to make us happy!
your x-mas present: more Skylines for everybody!!
I’m confused now, reading this topic then going through the replies.. Kaz said people who downloaded the DLC will get an unlock to use it on any account on the console then some one replied saying Kaz also said the disk should match the store!!!
I use a UK account as my main and another south african for GTP account and I already live in Egypt, if I downloaded the dlc from UK store it will work with the ZA account? and which is best to download the dlc now and wait for December’s update or wait till December then download the DLC?!!!!!!
Download from the store region that matches your disk region. Once installed it should, after the update, function on any account – like the Stealth and Chromeline cars from launch – but remember that this news makes no mention of regions.
I have almost the same question.
What I found reading the complete tweets is:
– You can download DLC as long as you have any PSN account that matches your disc region. ie: US disc / US store, logging with US account.
– Once you have the add ons downloaded, in December you will be able to download a family upgrade pack from store. According to the tweetes, this unlock enables DLC for ALL accounts in a PS3 system.
Now, i think:
– If family upgrade is downloaded from the original PSN account which you use to purchase the DLC, then it is possible that features could be unlocked for every account, no matter the country.
– If family upgrade needs to be activated by each secondary account from the PSN store, then you’ll need that country to have a local PSN store available, if not, still no DLC.
If a knew for sure it will work the first way, I’ll get DLC right now and wait for the update.
Thanks a lot for the reply, and I know I’m aware of the region thing I just thought that it’ll will be locked too, mine is from UK so it wont be a problem… one more question since I’m at work :) any ideas how much is the DLC on the UK store?
Me too Calamar but I’m worried that the Family update Kaz is speaking off will only work on sub-account….if so then nothing has been solved!!
I was thinking ”PDI is also readying a X-mas present for those who’ve already bought multiple DLC” might meam this DLC pack as well as the DLC pack that will come out after this one- The second and/or third DLC pack. I bet they will have more between now and then, I’m optimistically hoping anyway.
If I remember correctly, PD has a tradition of giving us Christmas gift. They’ve done it before…
Kaz also said that they can’t do multiple regions, meaning that if you have two profiles in different regions, then you need to decide which region you want the cars to be for.
and the psn that you purchase the DLC, have to have the same region’s disc with the DLC
this is sad …. so sad
Seriously guys, ok so GT5 isnt perfectly how WE want it but at least we have some interaction with Kaz and his team, he does listen and when complaints like these DLC issues arise they start the process to fix these things. Im a programmer myself and although i only write relativly small buisness systems I can assure you the scale of the GT5 code and the amount of users around the globe is daunting, you should be pleased they arent simply counting thier money having wiped thier hands of a game already released and thinking on the next project like 90% of the other Emtertainment software companies out there.
So far, I’ve been very forgiving towards PD because the sim is just so amaizing! But after having more Japanese and Nascar cars forced down my throat after anticipating at least maybe the new BMW M5 or M3 GTS, my disapointment has reached it’s limit.
I bought my first Playstation console five years ago solely for GranTurismo and also the PS3. Now, the PS3 will be used for BDs while I go out to buy Xbox for Forza4… Question is, will I be disappointed with it…? At least it’s got lots of my fav cars!
Not that anybody cares….
Why not have both & get the best of both worlds. I love GT5 for the physics engine and realism as a simulator but there are cars on both games that one has but the other doesn’t I want and a different experince from GT to vary thing and change it up a little so I’m buying a 360 as I have now bought F4 and get it all more cars more tracks more customisation and different perspective. Jay Leno has more than one type of car in his garage for different reasons. Peace
@ sayba2th: You are right. But I distinctly remember reading an article somewhere where Kaz was quoted as saying that he alone, decides what cars HE wants in the game. This is the reason for all the Japanese cars and very little else in comparison. On the other hand, a lot of hype was created around F4 and having content that the fans want. This is a real drawing card for me. This and the stunning BMWs in there.
I do feel that there is an oversaturation of Japanese cars however Kaz is a car lover and has given us choice cars from most of the makers that count. Of course there will always be debate about what should have and shouldnt have made it but thats par for the course when you have such a broad audience to please. I think that GT6 will be the crowning achievement for PD as there are many lessons to learn from this.
Turn 10 is now pushing PD and there are forums like this that Kaz and the team can delve into for pertinent info on what to do and what not to. I also feel that the latest announcement of upcomming DLC content will freshen things up. If it takes the release F4 to get this achieved then fantastic. But what we do know is PD push things as far as they possibly can with what they have to work with and in the end we end up the winners.
I’d like to see Wheel Packages. And the ability to revert to original paint on wheels and cars.
i love you PD!!!!! Man, they really know how to make things right. All this DLC is just awesome.
Can’t they stop using these “already bought” things.
My PS3 is in naked shape since it had 2 YLoD and it currently deactivated from PSN to prevent me from overusing my PSN account rights (5 units per PSN account activate limit).
These “gifts” and “presents” aren’t really what they claim them to be since they FORCE you to purchase NOW to even get part of these “gifts” and “presents”…
Unlock the game so that EVERYONE can have the same cars already…
Good news!! I appreciate all the constant support this game brings! I’ve never felt regretful for ever buying a GT game, and looks like I never will!
My only concern is the people who constantly ask for the top dollar supercars. Next thing you know, they are demanding arcade physics and police!
You can have your CCX, I’ll still beat you with a VOLVO ;)
lol fat chance….no no, some of us want the super cars because we want to experience what it’s like driving them in GT physics which is pretty darn good, arguably not the best, but still pretty good…gives you a sense of how fast and how well this car is if you were to drive it in real life….yes we want cars but i don’t think any real GT fan here would want arcadey physics
You know recca, it´s kind of true what his saying. Many people just want super exotics to be added. And don´t get me wrong, it would be awesome to test these babies in GT5, since the games that have them are usually broken when it comes to physics.
Like I mentioned a few posts above, I feel that it would be pushing PD too much. Most of the cars that people ask for are not even liscenced in GT5, with will make it more difficult for PD to add them. These legal things take time(and GT fans are known for their lack of patience), and if we add the time that it would take them to model them, to be honest, they would be better off modeling premium variants of good standards that are already in the game, or adding models to existing manufactures in GT5.
Not to mention that the time could be used to fix some other minor issues.
I would like some of the cars from previous games, like the Vectors, Venturis, and GT-One Road Car. I’m not an expert on licensing, but since these cars were in the old games I don’t see why they can’t be implemented into GT5.
I agree husky but I feel they did make the mistake when they brought over every skyline, ever miata etc etc..you know what i’m talking about. Even Kaz has admit that looking back at it now, they may have gone a bit overboard. I mean with that time they could’ve focused on other cars. They have aston license i don’t see how they couldnt’ have brought the dbs over or the one seven seven, MC 12 cause they have maserati license but there’s only one premium model. I do feel as though they have dropped the ball in that regard, so hopefully after seeing Forza’s lineup and seeing how the fans want more selection of cars, hopefully they shift their focus when it comes to cars. The selection of japanese cars is ridiculous compared to the selection of other countries car manufactures. I get they are japanese but 40 variations of skylines is absolutely not necessary, I was even more disappointed to see additional variations of skylines in the dlc…Hopefully this will change
@ recca – the Arcade physics and police is a joke lol. I feel and understand, adn also agree with having some of these high perf super cars, I would love to try an MC12!! but I feel that games like TDU2, where everyone and their mother using Veyrons and ramming ppl left and right, is a part reason why they may have stepped back on the super car catagory. I have a feeling some of those cars INVITE this kinda thing. Don’t get me wrong, I would love for some of them to make their way into the game!
@ 88FoxBodyFan – VECTOR!!!!! that is all.
All in all, I think PD has decided to keep the supercars to a minimum, so that less little kids are likely to be attracted (E.I. little kids who drive 230mph into 5 players trying to actually race)
But I def. Don’t disagree that it’s gotten rediculous with all the skyline :P
I think they should make a Documentary of the Skyline in it’s “wild habitat” while they’re at it :O just to top it off
“The Skyline waits….watching it’s prey, observing it’s possible escape routes….when it’s decided a tactic, it’s pulls it’s AWD system into gear and pounces upon it’s 500R prey. CROINKY!!!”
I agree with the miata and skyline thing, recca. I´m not against the skyline, and to me if they want to add all skylines is ok, but wouldn´t be enough with the R32,33,34, GTR R35 and maybe a V36? I mean those would be the most important skylines and it´s only five! Pretty much like they do it in Forza. I hope that PD thinks it better next time.
I cant understand this –
“This comes as great news to gamers who’ve bought the car pack but who have been reticent to drive the cars for fear of wearing them out”
how is it possible to wear out a car in GT? isnt there option to repair body and engine in GT auto.. or does that not work properly… or milege is the problem.. am I missing something?
i don’t know about other but for myself i like to keep some of my cars brand new and will buy an extra one just to drive, tune..things like that….it’s kind of like if i had a Ferrari Enzo in real life, would i want to put down a lot of mileage. I’d love to drive the car as often as possible but if i had the money to, i’d buy 2..one to drive as much as i want, i cna tune it, and one to keep in pristine condition…somethign like that i guess, with the dlc, you only get one car of each kind
There is a degradation system, the repairs you make eventually become less helpful as your mileage increases. It takes a while so it’s not easy to notice.
I think it is because of the exessive amount of money that need to be paid for the engine and chassis rebuilt. Specially the chassis rebuilt since it´s required just after driving the car for the first time.
I drove the GT LM Spec II for about 1000 kilometers, and after that, the engine droped almost 100hp after each race. I needed to be changing the oil after every race, even though it was not required, to keep the HP at a regular level. Plus, the car had a slight understeer that it didn´t showed when new. The engine rebuilt was like 1 and a half million, and the chassis was 2 million. It was easier to buy a new car, something that can´t be done with these DLC cars, since they are purchased in the form of a car ticket. That´s why.
Blame the dupers for this me thinks. That way the cars stay dlc omly.
interesting…… i didnt notice any degradation system (only with oil and engine milege, which I was thinking can be repaired) but I dont know for sure… will test this one out, anyway I still will use all my cars heavily in racing :)
Well, I´m so glad this happened. Although I know it is difficult for some that use multiple accounts, it was the “one time only” thing that really bothered me. You are paying to have the car in the game, not for the permission to use it. Those cars belonged to the dealerships in the first place. It almost felt like if a company started charging real money for ammunition in a FPS game…
Well done PD. I know this was not your fault. $$$ony got in your way… Yamauchi San, you are a very honorable person. Thank you greatly.
On another note:
That R32 rocks BIG TIME!!! I can´t wait for it!
It’s good to see this issue addressed, shows that PD is listening.
Great news! Thanks Kaz!!! PD is listening and giving us all that we ask. Be polite and more will come! Good job guys!
people keep asking “more cars” like CCX’S pagani’s aero’s …yeah but when something like DLC content being lock alters the entire community… people dont seem to get it…some car manufactures dont give they car aways to put in games….some cars have “rights” and to use them people have to pay for those rights to use them. yeah maybe forza has them…but think twice…even before the game comes out they are already anouncing DLC…and they are up to 20, 30 bucks….so that’s why they have those cars, cars rights aren’t cheap…its amiracle we have ferrari and Lamborghini in the game :) and for the guy asking for the new superleggera …buy anormal gallardo…buy the body kits from GT auto..increase power to match the Superleggera…and reduce weight…done! superleggera..:D
it really is the same car hahah…i tried making the LFA nurburg edition, and it’s pretty close even got teh same wheels, handles like i believe the real would, it just missing the wing and with the wing i can probably shave off 4 seconds which will be pretty close to the actual cars’ laptime
Cool. This will be a nice present for my kids (so they can finally use the DLC on their accounts instead of just having to play on mine).
I dont think PD should make a GT6 (when the PS$ comes out, then yeah) but i could see them be more succlesful by adding onto it with dlc and updates. I dont see what they need a new installment for to improve on a previous game.
+ 1. Next gen consoles are at least 2 yrs away, and the jump is not gonna be that significant anyway, i think PD is capable of of making this game what the fans expected it to be. If all the tracks were as detailed as the Nurburgring and if they fixed the shadows, GT5 could hold up to any Next gen racer! even brand new PC sims cant hold up against GT5 right now. Spec 3 would be a lot more appreciated than GT6
Glad to see this issue addressed, I wasn’t really up in arms about it or anything but I was disappointed at the decisions that had been made. Really nice to see they paid attention and responded to the community!
PD are one of the few companies that would do something like this, which is why i remain loyal to them because they are loyal to their fans
@recca
It´s too bad they work in hand with a company that does the complete opposite. I´m talking about Sony. I always knew it was not PD´s fault.
Amen to that, I’ve had huge respect for PD since I originally got into GT2. Really love this series and definitely appreciate the artistic vision at play in it. I can always tell that they’re very personallyinvested in their projects and that’s something that means a lot to me.
This is Kaz’s answer to the Sony’s distribution F#@k up. Go on Kaz, give it to them.
Seeing though everywhere else in the world has been or will be getting a free stealth car, Kaz how about giving those of us down under a stealth Holden commodore SS RM edition for Christmas?? The standard car is already in the game so a little re-modeling wont take long
Damn, how do i get a Commodore too? Never seen it in the dealerships…
Thanks Kaz for all the support through out the years! Been here since GT1, appreciate the hard work you and your team has provided for us. For the next update , please consider having the following vehicles. This will ad greater flavor to the game and will make alot of people very happy.
Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini Reventon
Lamborghini Supereleggra
Ferrari F50
Ferrari FXX
Ferrari F355
Paggani Huaryu
Aston Martin DB7, DB9, Vanquish in premium
SSC Aero
Noble
CCX
For race cars how about some of the Rolex cars, like the Mazdaspeed Speed Source RX-8, Daytona Prototypes, etc.
If not all could be added at least a few. We love cars like you!
Yes!
I would jizz so hard
Great list! Unfortunately, the Huayra is EA exclusive, like Porsche.
Nice wishlist. Super cars and exotics are nice and all but lets not forget the vast amount of good cars that are already in the game, and deserve the premium treatment. Also, that PD would need to rework the whole A-Spec events so we could make good use of these cars, since the only “fair” event is the Super Car Festival which is in the lower levels, which makes it boring as hell. Not to mention to people would be overusing them online.
I have to give you credit for mentioning the F50 and 355. Those are a must! Specially the 355. The Astons, heck yeah! The Pagani, at least the Zonda F would be nice since we can´t have the Huayra. And don´t forget the Veyron.
As for the Noble M12, CCX and the rest of exotics that many can´t stop mentionining, I mean, they are incredible and I would pay whatever it takes to have them, but remember that PD would need to work to get the liscence and all.
It´s more logic to have them work with the manufacturers that they have already, and fix the minor details that hold back GT5 from being the best car game ever, instead of pushing them to add more content.
That’s a pretty nice list of cars you have there Rphilip. :)
Imagine if you come in to GT Planet, and you see a photo of the Aventador in Midfield Raceway. That’ll be shocking. :D
I’d like to add some too:
Gumpert Tornante
Ferrari 250 GTO <3
Ferrari 312 PB
Ferrari P4/5
Ferrari 599 GTO
Ferrari 599XX
Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Aston Martin Zagato V12
Lancia Abarth 037
And please please please, I'll pay $20 alone for this one.. McLaren MP4/4
I forgot to mention the last REAL Skyline.. the Nismo R34GT-R Z-Tune
Peugeot 908 HYbrid4 anyone?
… and
Audi RS5, RS4 2009, TT-RS
Capparro T1
KT X-Bow
Lotus Exige S
Ferrari F50
Lamborghini Diablo
im kinda pissed i pre ordered the collectors edition for $100 and have waited almost a year and all im seeing in the DLC is race modified cars that are already in the game and one real track i love spa & i understand how hard it is to make a fully simulated track but i hoped for at least 2 real tracks such as road atlanta or road america or some other real life tracks such as those, i do hope in the next DLC they have contains the 2012 GT-R because im not too happy right now, but i am massively grateful for the stealth GT-R superGT, thank you GTplanet and PD

Woops. Wrong place. :(
I’m starting to think this game will be supported well into 2036 when the PS4 and GT6 come out.
hahaha that’s funny, but it’s sadly possible
Hope the family upgrade will be downloadable from the original purchasing account rather than from each individual account you want to enable for DLC. If the last happens, there will still be no way to make DLC work on accounts from countries with no local PSN stores.
Th dlc is activated in game. You just purchase the ‘license’ from psn. With out downloading a thing.
Great, so if you want DLC on accounts you have no chance on getting it on for now, you have to wait until December -.-
The DLC update or i should call it “upgrade” will be a night cycle for SPA, Audi R15…and some more. Let´s make a bet. I´ll win…;) 20€…
Dont tease!!, night SPA is my fav circuit of all time
That r32 looks sick with that paint.
Love it or leave!! Quit bitching. It is what it is…
They can’t leave. What would they do with their spare time beyond spreading their discontent around like herpes?
at least Herpes can be fun to catch, whats fun about listening to people bitch over something thats not ‘perfect’
December???? They should bring something good and new – instead same cars over and over again. I think it’s too much time to wait and not interested on actual DLC!!! Until there – I’ll be playing with Ferrari 599 GTO, 599 XX, Koeggniseg Agera, Audi R15, SLR Stirling Moss and Aston Martin DBR9 in F4 hehehehe
PS: Stop calling it Stealth Cars – They have nothing stealth on it – Just Black Paint!!!!!!!
We call them stealth cars because they were given the name STEALTH! o_O! also….yeah go play FM4 with all those cars…that do not handle the way they SHOULD!! its like A instead of wheels they placed chunks of butter. o_O.
Great news thanks Kaz
I want the Santa Claus racing gear from GT5 Prologue.
A Tooth fairy racing suit with this?
I’ll take an X2011 with Rudolf wrapped around the nose. Kind of like that airliner that gave santa the same treatment some years back. Perfect xmas present ^_^
December for a simple fix? Really, Kaz? Really?
Yes, it may be a bit late, but rembember: most developperss don’t fix a problem like this at all!
It’s because other DLC is on the way as well, and they probably had it lined up for a November release, and have to recode that content as well…
A November DLC wouldn’t be too surprising, considering it’ll be the one-year anniversary of GT5. If they do such a thing, I’d expect in on 22 Nov (the last Tuesday before the anniversary)
Multiple DLC as the 12$ pack or multiple purchases ? Guess we’ll have to wait, but it’s pretty cool PD is trying to make up for Sony’s screw up.
Good news , & unexpected too.
C’mon GTPlanet.
We had to go almost 20 posts before someone started crying about how horrible this it, PD is the worst most greedy company ever, and GT5 is a huge disappointment….. You guys are slipping
What’s it got to do with GT Planet? Start a thread if you’re so angry.
Yeah you baby. Can you ever stop being a 4 year old saying “Ohh, I broke my leg because I’m sooo disappointed” GO AWAY! I’m sick of complainers like you. How dare you even put GT Planet in your case. If you don’t like them so much, Then just beat it you sloppy noob.
050999742
Sarcasm much? I was making fun of the fact that all anyone seems to do here is whine and complain….@
We’ll see..
I hope this means that the DLC that I bought on my EU account works with the USA version of GT5, because I only have that version and I play it on my EU account.
I already bought the DLC, but it doesn’t work becaue I have the USA version of GT5
If this does not fix that problem I hope I can buy the DLC again on my USA account and use it on my EU account, If not, I have to buy the EU version of GT5 and begin from scratch :-(
With multiple DLCs, I guess he is talking about people who bought the DLC multiple times because it isn’t tradable. So I guess he is offering a compensation for them.
multiple DLC? I presume that means the complete pack. Present? Who cares? Its the thought that counts
it’s the thought that counts. good one ; )
He’s listening to us. Its happening!
I really hope they improve on the shadows by December!…cant wait for the Upcoming DLCs! I think PD is slowly catching up with this new generation of gaming. DLC here, free stuff there,….loving it!
it’s a memory issue with the ps3, will most likely not be fixed this generation
@recca – I’m almost certain that its an optimization issue, I don’t think PD would’ve released this game and be satisfied with such sloppy shadows, not the perfectionist they are. I just think something went wrong in the final build of the game. I just cant see these guys working on this game with the jagged shadows for 6 yrs and not compromising something else to save the visual integrity if their game. And I def don’t think the ps3 is all tapped out. You be absolutely right, and i may be overly optimistic, but as a guys who save almost all of his replays, this means a lot to me
Money talks, BS walks. Just goes to show when it looks like your profits will take a hit due to an improper practice, people get things done.
Couldn’t of said it better.
+1 ^^
Hang on… Your telling me that the cars in the dlc appear in your garage, and you cannot buy another from the dealers??? Is this a joke? Haven’t got the dlc yet, been too busy in forza 4. Think I might not be coming back to gt though if that’s the state of things (sim wise there both on a par, but content wise turn 10 is pulling ahead)
You enjoy your Forza and let folks enjoy their GT….I love Forza, but GT5 is just an all around better(though not perfect) game imo. and that may be due t o nostalgia, but i’m quite content with what GT5 has to offer even after playing Forza 4. GT5 is like a woman I would marry, she got class and depth….Forza 4 is more like a dirty whore on the side who I would never be seen with in public, Fun for a night, maybe got a nice ass, but not worth my commitment
Move along troll.
Good move by PD imo, this will make lots of people with multiple accounts happy, including me.
Forza 4 can kiss my GT5 imprinted but :-) Nice work KAZ.. now sort some proper sounds out and mods..
“Forza 4 is more like a dirty whore on the side who I would never be seen with in public, Fun for a night, maybe got a nice ass, but not worth my commitment” jajajaja i laughed my ass off!! xD or (LMAO) xD yeah.
@MyFavoriteGame
That was the most funnist comment I ever read from you. :) You made my day. ;)
GT5 is like your in heaven.
Then don’t comeback, you are a nobody. play with your halo car bitch
4ZA on par with GT5 as a Sim? 1st – Trolling here is a waste of your time bud. 2nd – 4za’s an arcade racer with sim like customization. Ever power oversteer through a sweeper in 4za while making subtle inputs with both steering and throttle to keep the car sideways?
This is the part where you go back and ask your 4za buddys what power over steer is and if any of them can do it.
No. pitching the car sideways, mashing the throttle and holding the wheel at full lock does not count as drifting in a sim.
It makes me wonder type on the keyboard iridegravity, I would takle your own advice 1st and quit trolling they are 2 different types styles of games GT by has the best physics engine out there but Forza has cars and customisation that GT does not yet offer.
I bought the GT5 signature edition plus have owned every GT and PS incarnation but if I choose to have both consoles and enjoy both games for two different reasons then I will and F&*^ you if you try to tell me otherwise. I’m love cars and racing games not a fanboy of either.
You gonna tell me there is only one type of car thats worthwhile owning when there are countless gems from Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, Aston, BMW ect. Horses for courses. Or you gonna throw up your “Smart Peeps” BS again.
I LOVE GT5 but I not married to it or any other game or console if you are you may very well be an objectum sexual (and possibly have some mummy/daddy issues goin on) if you don’t know what that is the google it and educate yourself. If you wanna be one or the other great but I’m and anyone else who wishes to is going to excerise my / their free will. You would have done well back in the days of the communistic eastern block.
Nice to school you once again D*&&wad

Oh well
Looking forward to the X-Mas gift. Also, the multiple DLCs probably means people who bought either the complete pack, or more than one of the separate packs.
dont think so…
I think it means the people who already bought the DLC on Multiple Accounts !!
dont think so either
mazda is most likely right…there were a couple people on the forums yesterday who said they bought multiple packs for different accounts even then they still couldn’t play because it was region locked and they had bought their ps3 else where
anyways that’s an amazing photo
awww yeah !
Great announcement! I was not going to buy DLC in the current state, but with this quick turn around by PD, I will gladly support them on the 25th!
Agreed.
There’s been lots of turns by PD this gen though. I think we got past that turn 10 long time ago >;D
Great news nonetheless, thanks PD
Great news! But only in december? O.o Why will take so much?
possibely kaz wants too also have some other things in the update as well, possibly
because it took 5 years to make GT5, because PD employees are aloud to sleep and play videogames on the job lol.
this is fantastic thank you so much KZ!
Thank god for that, such a farce this DLC has become despite the quality of the products. And even still, having to wait until December to use my DLC stuff is ridiculous.
good work PD :-)
can anyone pls tell me the twitter that kazanori has so as to add him
@Kaz_Yamauchi
@Kaz_Yamauchi
Well done, Kaz & PD
Now lets see some threads popping up like “what will be the gift Kaz promises us”
Kaz is awesome!!
good news
yesterday i bought the dlc from my uk account and i played 95 percent of gt5 on my us account
so on december can i play the dlc with my us account?
Yup! :D
Unfortunately no, well yes, in theory, dependent on your Disc type Kaz tweeted this ‘I’m sorry, but we have to ask you to match the region of your disc and your PSN account setting.’
I think no. I have the same problem. Guess no GT5 DLC for me.
wear them out! LOL
Sweet, I hope it’s some Stealth Cars!
Maybe they’ll let us drive cars on KS I and II. Here’s me trying not to get my hopes up…that’d be a small gift but a great one
I’m glad he’s listening to the community. He also tweeted we’d receive a free “Family Upgrade” which will allow us to access the dlc through multiple accounts on the same console.
XD i just like how he actually does respond to the public needs and wants, but i guess he is taking this all in for GT6, and how he could implement all these features in a better way. :)
haha that’s right caasimun_18. It’d be a disaster if Kaz doesn’t learn how GT6 should be handled when it’s released.
I think its pretty obvious that this is a sony issue and not a PD issue. Evidence of this is the fact that…well the content is already being sold, in countries that don’t have the North American NTSC version and American Region DVD. Something is quite obviously happening that we aren’t being notified about, and it is hurting sales bad as half the people I have talked to on PSN won’t be buying this pack as the only “must have” item is Spa, and because almost all of the people I know on PSN play almost exclusively online. In case you have been living under a rock, you can use the Spa track in online rooms, and as this is the only thing many folks were waiting for they will not be purchasing it because, to them, this fact makes the $12 add-on literally worthless. Kaz also tweeted that the NA version of the add on would be up “in two hours” then deleted the tweet and started acting as if he knew It was delayed…
It says Cars and Tracks, but no mention of racing gear. If i buy he complete pack will i be able to use the gear in my main account? No fussed about paint, but i so want race the TTGT as the Stig in my samba van.
@gothenqcowboys:
I checked GT’s official website and this is what it says about the complete pack:
“This DLC bundle contains the Racing Car Pack, Racing Gear Pack, Paint Pack, and Course Pack for Gran Turismo 5, all for a special low price.”
So yup, you’ll be getting everything! Enjoy your new racing gear!
I’ll probably be buying the DLC as well, now that Polyphony Digital and Sony have had a sudden change of heart over the account issue. I have a feeling there will be a lot of Stigs on the road once we get the DLC.
Lol the best gift would be to make all cars premium
Gift: Horns #33. Booyah..
I’m really confused now. I finally got the Nissan GT-R Stealth model, and it’s available on all of my accounts; and I only downloaded it on one account. So does this mean the DLC will actually work for multiple accounts?
if he is listening then read below….
I am really hoping they make it possible to put any kind of wheels on any street car. Not just premium vehicles but all of them. Alot of non-premium cars deserve to be fixed up better with better rims can make a car flip entirely with better appearence etc.
Common PD or Sony…please update the game to where we can use wheels on any street ca premium or not premium to enhance the appearence and customize our cars a bit more. Basically all street cars deserve any kind of wheel change.
Who with me? I am certain many people agree/
Yes, this is something that makes me still believe in Sony and PD, they are listening to the gamers.
