I love GT5, the only reason I purchased my PS3 Dec. 2010. but come on KAZ / PD. not even a slight indication as to what or when to expect some new content. My colleagues are up in my face about Forza4 DLC every month.
Kaz don’t leave us in the DARK, some news please. Take Care. -

there’s no way that gt6 is going to be a ps3 title if the ps4 is months from being released more like 8 month and some change so i’m looking forward to the ps4
-
April 10th, 2012 at 4:24 pm - #danger23
think about it what were racing games like b4 gt came out “b.s.”so now you have forza competing for the “golden steering wheel” but to me i think G.T. has a leg up on them, forza has things they haft to work on and so does G.T. but not as much forza they have alot to learn about car physics and gt needs do more with there car sounds, have you heard the lexus IS concept SOUNDS LIKE A MUCLE CAR ITS TERRIBLE,they need to do something about that.evolution is a word that they should use in there nxt meeting they should watch a entire race in detail and look at what goes on in a real race, well KAZ should have some info on what a race driver&pit crew goes through a whole lot of drama i want lil of that in gt6 hey if you totaled ur car in a race what would happen? ur O.U.T.of the race, something to think about as far as evolution is concerned.

i think the development of gt6 is going to take to long to be on the ps3 but the wait is going to well worth it it’s best they start now so it possible that comes out when the ps4 hit the store,it’ll be cool to be able to get he ps4 and the my favorite game in gt6 on the same day, that’s a dream i have over and over again “can’t wait”.

They worked on GT6 after GT5 was released.
-
April 10th, 2012 at 2:32 pm - #Quakebass
Actually, Dr.Frogg, GT6′s development started even BEFORE GT5 was released… I’m not sure how long, I’m assuming around 6 months.
-
April 10th, 2012 at 3:15 pm - #Uppmas
@Quakebass I thinki he meant to say before, because ”They worked on GT6 after GT5 was released” Doesn’t really make any sense. It should be ”they have worked on”.
-
April 10th, 2012 at 5:00 pm - #Dr.Frogg
Hey Uppmas, I know you are a 13 year old Finnish kid that hangs out on Motogames youtube channel.

Oh, yes, what about that?

I seem to recall (but may be mistaken) Kaz saying in an interview that the premium cars in GT5 are future proof and that a higher polygon count would go mostly unnoticed. That being said, I would guess their main goals will be to increase the number of premiums and concentrate on improving current circuits and creating new ones (like Bathurst). I also hope GT6 will be a PS4 release title and even though i’m 35 and should know better; i’ll most probably be queing up for a midnight release with some other aging gamers….and then enjoy a caffeine-enduced all-nighter… :)
That being said, I hope there is a bit more DLC to come. My best guess is that there will be one final ‘large scale’ finale, or spec 3, which will include a selection of old-skool tracks, a couple of new ones, in addition to a fair selection of new cars (10 to 20) and perhaps a couple of motorbikes. I also reckon they may include a couple of additional course creator locations (some of you may recall there were more than the available seven (twelve I think) shown in screenshots prior to GT5′s release).
After the above, I reckon they will focus all of their efforts on GT6….but hopefully not for 3+ years after the new PS is released this time!

CTS V sedan & coupe, BMW M5 F10, ZL1 CAMARO, BOSS 302 & GT500 I’D LIKE TO SEE IN GT5
-
April 9th, 2012 at 11:58 am - #Flaco13
The Chevelle as premium and the 2012 season DTM with about 12 different liveries for a proper online racing
-
April 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm - #chevelleSS396
@flavor13 I agree with you on that premium CHEVELLE!!
-
April 11th, 2012 at 3:17 pm - #Pit Crew
Premium or not Chevelle would still be horrible at Daytona. Hows about A 396 Camaro 69 premium or a 427 C2 Stingray with Stinger hood

I dont see forza fans complaining where is this month DLC!!!
-
April 9th, 2012 at 10:37 am - #Flaco13
I´m complaining, a 300 SEL 6.3 sounding like it had Chevy engine and exhaust, that was disapointing. I love both games, well one I like the other I in fact love. But none is perfect thats for sure
-

April 9th, 2012 at 12:27 am - #mdaley1
Please PD, would love to see the new 2012 ZL1 Camaro and 2012 BMW M5 in the next dlc!
-
April 9th, 2012 at 1:19 am - #Flaco13
It might aswell be an easter-egg, oh wait we already have that, its called vw beetle and you can paint it!
no seriously, they are going to come up with something soon, no matter what it is, I´ll keep supporting to get the very best GT6 possible.

@ Quakebass I’ll bet your right.. It kinda does look like the high speed ring.. IKD still a great pic as usual
-
April 8th, 2012 at 4:25 pm - #RB26 2jz
I think they should make more themed packs like how they made a touring car pack, maybe add Baja, D1, Trophy Trucks, Rally, NASCAR Trucks, FIA GT3, Le Mans, Super Touring, JDM Classics, Super Car Concepts, GP…
This is just a dream obviously but if I owned PD these are the DLC’s I’d put in GT5 and even GT6
-
April 8th, 2012 at 5:44 pm - #HKSBro92
Baja? Save that for Dirt
-
April 8th, 2012 at 6:00 pm - #D_gamer725
The Only thing i want in Gran Turismo right now would be the 2013 SRT Viper. And if possible, the SRT Viper GTS-R
-
April 8th, 2012 at 6:49 pm - #Dr.Frogg
2013 viper is ugly.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 6:56 pm - #HarVee
I agree with frogg. It is ugly. If we get a new premium Viper I hope it is the ’92 RT/10.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 8:18 pm - #RB26 2jz
Or SRT 10 Dodge Ram or Dodge Tomahawk
Theyre vipers
-
April 8th, 2012 at 9:23 pm - #tpark103
+1 great Idea
-
April 8th, 2012 at 9:29 pm - #tpark103
I love it when I can’t tell what track the pics were taken on. I must admit this one has me stomped.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 9:34 pm - #Quakebass
It looks like High Speed Ring to me; in the non-banked S-curve section.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 10:47 pm - #RB26 2jz
Deep forest raceway right after the tunnel
-
April 9th, 2012 at 5:29 am - #Uppmas
It’s either high speed ring or grand valley speedway.
-
April 11th, 2012 at 3:46 pm - #TokoTurismo
High Speed Ring.

u bored…u dont like it…blablabla whatever move on

I think the adductive behaviour from people to games is out of hands. I think you have to take a look in the BF3 battlelog forums and most of the latest games. Mass Effect 3 fans talking rubbish about the ending and stuff like that. How bad CoD is and still buying it…(that game is bad but they buy it…i think it is bad and i don´t buy it but don´t even talk about it for example)
People complaining everyday here about how PD is making or made bad decisions (and i can agree with that in some points because GT5 has its flaws and some missing features or incomplete as far as i can see).
I think the game industry now, just because of this new addictive behaviour, needs to adapt (for example pCARS is making the entire development process of the game using the feedback fro the people, Outerra engine which is a new game engine in development i asked in the forum for a feature and at the other day i had it with an update but of course because it was something needed for everybody not just me) or not pay attention at all (if they do this, instead of giving us incomplete games or half games and then tons of DLC´s they should take more time and give people finished and tested games)
There are still companies who develop good games in 2 to 3 years; take a look in how good are almost every PS3 exclusive (Killzone 2, Killzone 3, God Of War 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 1, 2 ,3, Infamous 1 and 2, Little big planet 1 and 2, Mod Nation Racers, Journey, Flower, Flow…i didn´t see people complaining on any of those games and why? because those were Complete and finished games and maybe with 1 unique update just to fix little issues post release but nothing more)
But with GT5 we saw something that we should not want to see in the future. Sony fault, PD fault…doesn´t matter this game wasn´t finished at all but still is a great game.
People now are over exaggerating and want tons of features that are impossible to add to the game because by now is finished.
I think they/we want more features to keep playing the game because it is great but also some people at the same time maybe want to play other games or forgot what GT series is all about.
Of course if GT adds those things it could be better and one of the best racing games but people have to forget about that for GT5 and start to think in GT6. Hopefully PD is going to develop the game using feedback from their costumers (us) but keeping the features that GT series always have.
If not it will be a huge mistake.Haters two options for you…:
1- stop playing the game and move on and don´t come here to bitch about how bad is the game after 1 and a half year playing with it…(tell me those games that last more than one month…)
2- keep playing and wait for GT6 and use the features that we have already in the game and start to think in some new ways to make it enjoyable or fun for you. By now i am trying Rally (one of the things that GT5 lacks…talking about tracks) and i am testing all the Rally cars making laps in the same circuit just to see the little differences and hat kind of stuff…and yes it takes time. Using bad cars to race against AI in practice mode (normal start grid as it should be on every mode in GT5).
Stop tuning cars and race with it with the standard configurations and with the standard wheels (always using racing softs tyres, really?) and you can have entertaining races against AI in Nurburgring taking care from not loose your car instead of avoiding the bad AI.
ETC…I want tons of things in GT but that´s why i have tons of other games to fill that hole.

“I want tons of things in GT but that´s why i have tons of other games to fill that hole” Couldn’t have said it better myself bro.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 6:23 pm - #Quakebass
Foxiol, I have to agree with everything you’ve just said, but I want to touch on one point; I’ve said that PD has a small workforce compared to other companies several times now; many people seem to have taken that the wrong way; I only say that as the reason for the small amount of content in DLC’s and long development times. I’ve never stated it wasn’t PD’s fault for NOT hiring more people. If PD had hired more people earlier, we might’ve had a complete GT5, or a significantly better one than we have now. I hope PD hires more workers, and starts talking about the future of GT5, (like when DLC’s and updates will stop) news on DLC 4, and what sort of progress has been made on GT6; where they could see a proper release with 100% of the game complete, or just what stage of development they’re in.
-
April 8th, 2012 at 7:16 pm - #HarVee
“I want tons of things in GT but that´s why i have tons of other games to fill that hole.”
So other people need 2,000 individual games to have all the features and content that GT5 should have? Wow, I knew GT5 was incomplete but come on, really?
There would be no way in hell that I would buy 2,000 other games just to have features and content that should be available in just one convenient package. Not really user friendly much, eh?

“I want tons of things in GT but that´s why i have tons of other games to fill that hole.”
I think that point about just buying other games to fill the gap is silly, for example i really want a sticker/ livery editor, so that i can create my own racing teams and make the game just look better. That feature has been available on every Need for Speed game made since i can remember. By that theory i should be very happy with NforS, however because of the handling characteristics designed to put a smile on a 12 year old’s face. Cornering is done at roughly the speed of sound. So that’s a characteristic I’m not happy with so i should find another game to fill that gap, GT5 has got good handling, but wait… no livery editor the very reason i player Need for Speed in the first place…. So what I’m saying is that there is not a perfect game, but the reason people get so frustrated and become what where referred to as “Haters” is because GT 5 could be perfect with the right amount of work. Also people that complain are told they’re not very grateful I am grateful because Kaz swallowed his pride and gave us DLC even when he said the game was “Complete” however for me it hasn’t been enough yet.
Insert irritating self righteous comment below. -
April 9th, 2012 at 11:01 am - #Flaco13
I´m sorry I must disapoint you BM but all I can say is I totaly agree. You know what, I think Gran Turismo should be a 16+ or 18+ Game or at the counter buying the game you must provide a valid drivers license…
This thing here called Gran Turismo is and has always been a Simulation rather then just another racing game.
And yeah it is not perfect but I´m sure the staff of PD will do what they can to improve every aspect of Gran Turismo if you say they are concentrating on GT Academy, thats rubbish, Kaz Yamauchi is the only one to have his hands on that, what would he need an IT-Specialist, a Track/Car modeller for??? The Academy is a company of its own!

@BM Racing:
the NFS series only added real customization to the franchise with NFS: Underground, which was released in 2003. there were 6 games that came before it; The Need For Speed, Need For Speed II, Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit, Need For Speed: High Stakes, Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed, and then Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.
I agree, you may get some features you want with NFS, but you don’t get any sort of appealing physics to support it. I really miss the driving physics of the NFS: UG2 and al of its precursors, which is the main reason I don’t really like any of the newer NFS games. But back to GT5. If we get a livery editor, it won’t ruin the driving physics in any way. It will really just add a greater replay value and more variety to the game.

I’m guessing GT5 is pretty much dead. There’s no way the will change things up with this dinosaur. It was broke from the beginning, let’s all be honest. I only played it all because I thought something good might happen. All those races to get 40 40, all the attempts to get all gold license, ugh and the endurance races before the save function. All for a car I already had.

If it is going to take this long, PD must be doing something big to go along with the photo stream update. If photo stream is the only thing new in three months, I will be very disappointed. I am excited and anxious to see what PD has in store for the next update.

Hello, I’m new to GTPlanet, but I’ve been a Gran Turismo fan since the beginning. I understand that many of you are bored with the game. I’m getting pretty bored myself with the content but I do find new ways to entertain myself. I find the best way to be challenged in the game is to play most of the A-spec events with the cars that are meant to be played in those events. Start out with a car that you know is weak compared to the cars that you are racing, go about 40 to 60 performance points below the performance points of your competitors, leave the car stock and take it for a run. If you get smoked by the computer, modify the car, but only modify the car little by little. Don’t modify the car so much that you smoke the computer. Take it for a run and keep track of the time differential every time you lose. Eventually you will get to a point where you know you can win by changing your line and perfecting your line rather than adding more mods. I also make a point not to drive dirty and bum rush the AI, if I do and there’s any form of contact I start over. It makes it much more competitive. I find that the A-spec supercar challenge is the best place to do this because there’s a wide range of performance cars that are considered supercars. Start out with the XKR. You’ll notice that the car is considerably weaker than most of the supercars and it also has a lot of oversteer which slows the time down. If you take this approach with most of the challenges, you’ll find that they actually become enjoyable and makes the game worthwhile.
