The next update this game needs is a Drag Strip.
PPL on-line use every straightaway possible to drag race, and you don`t know it until you come into it at 100mph.
Just create a track and be done with it…-

JLTC FTW…
It can block the entire drag strip. They know me in the drag community (Not here at GTP)…I get kicked usually whenever i enter a drag room. -

drag races with traffic lights. and multiple lanes, with the times of 1/4 mile etc. just like in the speed test.

Yes, there was a dragstrip in an earlier version of Gran Turismo, not sure which one, and it was before on-line, but probably easily adaptable.
And as far as going in with a JLTC, an eye for an eye only results in two blind people in the end. -

But it doesn’t matter if you’re blind if you’re driving a Tank Car.

Upload an engine sound update for to give a lot of cars their proper engine sounds and then that’ll be something to talk about for me.

If we got a McLaren F1 GTR Race Car premium you won’t be complaining about having another GTR.

I wish KAZ or GT5 or to whom it concerns would tell us (fans) that the update will come first and then DLC next day or whatever.
Just be clear with the fans…some people work you know. :)
So managing my time is priority.
Im a huge fan but I dislike the inconvenience sometimes.

Each regional store updates on a different day, so you’ll only get the DLC when your store has it’s usual, weekly update. No good getting upset, it’s always been that way with the PS3.

The update is available but I don’t think the DLC is

The PSN Store will be updated around 3:00PM BST. If you have bought the GT5 Academy Edition though, you can redeem the GT-R already.

The GT servers will be down soon. The PS Store just went off line.

Any idea how big the update is?

September 24th, 2012 at 8:47 pm - #Fire Yoshi
I’d really like to see the Stealth cars be put up as DLC, especially the NSX. I’d buy them without a doubt. :)

having read some of the responses to the DLC . The complaints about price,content or lack of it.
The simple fact of the matter is GT5 was to have a 10 year game life.
So how much would you pay for an equivalent game of this quality (e.g.Call of Duty and it’s many guises ).As it goes all i can say is it’s the best value game i will ever own….

I say THANK GOD for POLYPHONY DIGITAL and GRAN TURISMO… I can guarantee that the people complaining are those who are not good enough to extract the best of what this incredible simulator has to offer… Not only has polyphony digital produced a piece of software that has a beautifully robust and dynamic physics engine but the game is full of content and at times can be beautiful just to watch and with a good sound system is awesome to listen to… The more I find out about gt5 the more I love and appreciate the 6 years it took to develop this game and yes, it is not perfect but is still light years ahead of anything else available on any platform with the exception of maybe a couple of titles like iracing and gtr – maybe. Any of you even attempting to compare Forza to this amazing work of art, well I could think of many insulting words to describe your intelligence… Gt is unique material

@Neilson: Congratulations. I’ve read many absurd comments during my 2 years here on GT Planet, but yours blows all of them out of the water. I hope you’re proud of how ridiculous you sound.

since the nissan is the official sponsor of the game, do the juke-r, DeltaWing, r1 Signatech and leaf rc mechanism.
-
September 24th, 2012 at 7:00 am - #Fogerty_Jr
Please… I’ve been waiting sooo long… no racing game can be considered complete without a (premium) BMW M3 E36. Just stop modelling skylines.
-
September 24th, 2012 at 6:57 am - #gt boy
cool, I was just waiting honda hsv …
but … another gt-r and another copy of toyota 86?
these in turn could have done the f12 berlinetta and veyron ss … when do we get dlc’s with 10 cars like forza and no longer makes cars that are already in the game?-
September 24th, 2012 at 8:24 am - #Pit Crew
^ More then likely gotta wait for GT6 for those cars. (maybe not then) Unfortunately PDs commitment to GT5 DLC will not be as indepth as we would like.
Just dont see kaz sending teams out to the regions these cars exist in to get specs/video/sound data to code for 2yr old title he said would be seeing less updates.
Sure he said more DLC is forecast,however from kaz, it could mean anything from tracks, more Asia market cars/trucks/suvs ( would welcome Rim and Aero DLC ) even more paint chips.
Kaz wants to run as far as he can get from GT5 without seeming have to just throw in the towel IMO. Hes definitely not going to develop a DLC pack that pulls commitments from GT6 being ready by his inhouse timeframe.

“Rate of tire wear in endurance races has been slowed”
Well it is a start, but the question is why just the endurance races?
-
September 25th, 2012 at 10:58 am - #researchALLwars
LOL!!! You are on point, dude!
what a bunch of sillyness. Hopefully that is just PD mispeaking/mistranslating, and the tire wear OVERALL is what’s being slowed.

To ALL the fools and haters who complain about GT having too many GTR’s, this is an excerpt from wikipedia on the history of the nissan R35 GTR very 1st production back in 2004, QUOTE:
“Polyphony Digital, creators of the Gran Turismo series of racing video games, were themselves involved in the development of the GT-R, having been contracted to design the GT-R’s multifunction display.[16] The GT-R is the star car of the current game Gran Turismo 5, whose title video features the production of the VR38DETT engine.”
SO now you know why Kazunori loves the car so much. I mean how many chief game developers you know, that would be asked to offer his expertise in creating an extremely crucial technology for one of Japan’s & the world best AWD supercar?? Not to mention his racing victories in some of the world’s most challenging motorsports races, IN THE R35 GTR & his affiliation with Nissan in turning video gamers into real race car drivers. STOP with the estrogen filled whining already!!
-
September 24th, 2012 at 1:48 am - #Rynogtr23
I for one am not the biggest fan of 4WD cars but it has to be said that the R35 GTR is one of the worlds BEST hands down. So PD & Kazunori please keep the GTR’s coming. Still hoping we get the Black & Red GT3 version that Jann Mardenborough races.
-
September 24th, 2012 at 3:14 am - #ProjectVRD
We know this already, but it would still be nice to see some others cars not from Japan.
You might find the majority of GT5 fans would like to see the rest of the N24 cars because so far we have just two, and both are GTR’s from the SP8-T category which contain all of… two cars. Considering PD went through the effort of creating the Nurburgring and even a N24 event it would have made sense to include several cars from SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5, SP6, SP7, SP8, SP8-T and SP9 categories.
I am very surprised they have ignored SP7, SP8 and SP9. How many people would have loved to drive the Falken Tyres GT3 (SP8) or the BMW Z4 Works (SP9) or the Aston 007 car (SP9)? I can guarantee it would be alot more than those wanting “another” Nissan GT-R.

Someone seriously needs to chill out. If people are fed up with the GT-R, they should be able to post their feelings about it, just like you can defend the car, no matter what.
Telling people to shut up and insulting them because you don’t like their comments on something is childish.
-
September 24th, 2012 at 7:38 am - #MuoNiuLa
And I don’t hate the GT-R. Because I work at a Nissan dealership, I see them quite often, and being around them in real life made me admire more than before.
But as the old saying goes, and this applies to everything else, too much of a good thing is bad.

Thats my point, ppl been complaining about GTR’s for the past 2 years, so it’s not even about respecting someones opinion, which i really dont especially if it sounds like a woman on menopause. Like the old saying goes, If u dont have anything constructive to say then STFU!!
