Gran Turismo 5 Photo Stream Service Launches in Asia
As reported a month ago, the Photo Stream service of Gran Turismo 5 has now gone live. Using this function, any photo set by any player to “Share with Friends” will be anonymously published to the official Gran Turismo website for anyone to see, rather than limiting your works to only the people on your PSN Friends list. There is, however, a small catch in that the service is not available yet to users outside Japan and Asia:
“The new “GT5 Photo Stream” service has been started on gran-turismo.com. In GT5 Photo Stream, photographs taken in the photo mode of Gran Turismo 5 and set to “Share with Friends” are be shown in a list on a webpage, and can be viewed publicly by anyone. [...] This service is initially limited to Japan and Asia.”
Other regions’ players have been greeted by the following update to the original February announcement:
“[March 15 Addendum] In the following article, the commencement of the GT5 Photo Stream service was mentioned as being “With the coming Gran Turismo 5 update planned for March 2012. However the release timing for the next GT5 update has been postponed, together with the GT5 Photo Stream Service. We appreciate your patience as the next GT5 update is prepared, and thank you for your understanding.“
You can already view photographs submitted by eligible players on the official site for Japanese and Asian users since the service went live at 1200 UTC. The images are available at a reduced resolution, with a width of approximately 1024 pixels.

i love gran turismo ive played and love everyone of them i even pre-ordered the collectors edition but why is PD ignoring all of the important things such as more cars, tracks, better upgrades system, and better car sounds? they’re focused on photo sharing IN JAPAN, alright well people all over the world bought GT5, millions of people did and we still haven’t got any major changes so why? i believe PD can bypass anyone that makes a racing title, i despise forza and xbox but this is ridiculous, answer my question please so i will understand this better there must be a good reason why

Oh yea, we haven’t got any improvements to the important things. hurr durr

Hey durrrrrr!! GT5 is not the same game that was released in 2010, its almost unrecognizably different now, a lot has been added to enhance to overall experience…that being said rjcaft16, I do kinda understand where you’re coming from, GT5 has a very diverse fan-base, and a lot of different people want different things out of the game. As far as I’m concerned, PD hasn’t really changed anything that I particularly care about (Shadows, better replay system”GT3″, Rim Size option and more rim choices, etc), but a lot of people are happy with the changes so far, all we can do is hope that PD looks our way some time soon.

Almost unrecognizably different? You must be smoking some heavy stuff.

I ask myself the same question everyday. Besides spa, 2012 GTR, Aventador, V12 Vantage and SSRX we haven’t gotten much stuff. I guess you could either just be patient and wait for new content or GT6 OR get a xbox and play forza 4 and soon Horizon.

i agree with all of you especially “MyfavoriteGame” thanks for the constructive criticism i post stuff on here all the time and no one understands me
-
March 22nd, 2012 at 9:22 pm - #rjcraft16
except kobooi, you must have some heavy patience for 4 or 5 cars and other DLC every 2 months thats a little overcharged, but im gonna try to go with the idea “HKSbro92″ is suggesting. im very happy about the 2012 GT-R and spa making it into GT5 but a nissan leaf? get real im not an interior decorator. i know it has expanded a lot since november 24th 2010 but im not too happy about their plans as of now for the united states, i certainly have faith in kazunori and PD but definitely not getting my hopes up for new tracks anytime soon i hope im proved wrong soon enough

Y do I get the feeling that this is what PD has been working on for the past 2 months and haven’t even touched DLC?
I want this photo share here, I want to be a part in sharing the beauty of GT5. :)

I’m guessing there will be a new track which uses part of the SSRX track. Hints of this track are the fact that there extra Tunnels at the start/finish line of SSRX, the overbridge and on the other side of the track, you can see almost vertical steep corners which turn onto the main track. If you drive a lap of SSRX you will know what I’m talking about.
For car DLC I have no clue but I’m hoping it’s big if they’re delaying it.

It’s taken in phototravel in Ahrweiler Gate. To unlock it, you need to get silver in AMG Driving academy.

How about making the ones we have Premiums first?….that would be nice, I got about 9 sitting in my garage which would really appreciate that Premium treatment. But that 2012 Audi LMP does look sexy!….hmmm, those lights

i hope the new dlc will have a better price because the previous one was a rip of for the europeans

I heard that the new DLC will have more Museum Cards, a couple of Skylines and that you will be able to remote control the oil change guy’s trolley with high precision from a dedicated server. That is why it is taking so long, it is complicated but worth it, as always.

Nice Sarcasm.

Okay, I know people loves to trick others on purpose. Not believing anything unless Kaz and PD themself confirms the update and DLC first. And hoping it’s a good reason as to why they took so long…
-
March 18th, 2012 at 2:51 pm - #Olafleeuwis
where did you get this information from?
-

@Olafleeuwis He is just putting out lame hate jokes. Don’t believe him.

allright i wont :-)

@Chad Honestly people are asking too much from a simulation racing game. If you look at it before the updates it’s still a complete game. Has a full b spec mode, 1000 cars, full a spec, licenses, upgrades for all cars, multiplayer and special events. Now look at what we got in updates… While other developers instead of updating they go and release a new game. Every update I’ve seen has not involved anything I do not like. Stop taking things for granted.

I really hope they are focusing on GT6. GT5 has left a stain on the series that only full attention for GT6 can shout out!
-
March 18th, 2012 at 12:25 am - #Mrdre924
I hope they fix the inside of the standard cars
-
March 18th, 2012 at 11:31 am - #HarVee
Why ‘fix’ the insides of the standards cars, when PD could just focus on re-modeling them into Premium status.

It’s pretty cool

I hope the postponed the release to include Porsche! Just like Forza.

Tomorrow makes it 2 months since the last DLC…maybe we’ll hear from PD next week. I just want a Premium Lamborghini Diablo SV
-
March 18th, 2012 at 11:37 am - #HarVee
And I want a Premium ’87 Buick GNX and a Premium Toyota Supra (Mark IV), but apparently PD would rather focus on creating more Japanese electric vehicles.

March 17th, 2012 at 4:49 pm - #Foxiol
SPEC 3.0 all cars Premiums + realistic engine sounds and all GT tracks included in the next update MAY 2, 2012.
(yeah i wanted to troll you guys just for once lol)
-
March 17th, 2012 at 5:14 pm - #HKSBro92
I almost feel for it too lol
-
March 17th, 2012 at 6:43 pm - #MyFavoriteGame
I would’ve feel for it if PD hadn’t all but gave up on GT5. Not that I mind, just means that GT6 is gonna be a better game…..
- Standards to Premiums + additional tracks = GT6 in 2016.
- Sub-par seasonals + mediocre DLC = GT6 close to PS4 launch….
at least I hope so.
-
March 18th, 2012 at 2:05 pm - #Foxiol
@HKSBro92 lol
@MyFavouriteGame yeah, for GT6 being better is just as “simple” as that. All cars premium + all tracks (with textures in High resolution this time)+ realistic engine sounds is a must in my list + livery editor + track editor with more options.
GT5 is just a preview for the upcoming game. It is like a huge beta. All previous games are just like that. In this case GT5 uses a new engine and that´s why it had some “issues” and glitches and because of the PS3 some not to good details as blocky shadows and that kind of stuff.The other day i bought Death Space 1 and 2 for PC for 10€ (i´m giving an example) and the first one was good but was a pain to AIM with the mouse because it had a tedious lag. But in the 2nd (i´m in the middle of it an about to play right now) it is like heaven it works great and works even better than the previous.
Same happens with tons of games. because of that take GT5 as a first game that needs to be polished and in the 2nd one you will see the best of it…in this case GT6. Of course hardware is a must for this game. I have doubts if this game is going to look better or perform better if it is going to be for the same PS3.I prefer this game being a PS4 launch title.

in some photo’s are the cars lined up like one with the ferrari f40′s, my question is : is that in online race mode?
btw WHEN IS THE DLC AND UPDATE COMING!??!-
March 17th, 2012 at 3:47 pm - #Rushton1996
Yes, thats in race mode. But iy will be hard to get everyone in the lobby to do what youwant, even with a mic.
-
March 17th, 2012 at 4:14 pm - #Olafleeuwis
but can you do a photoshoot with 2 cars at the same time?
-
March 17th, 2012 at 4:46 pm - #Foxiol
You can do it in arcade mode if you only want 2 cars at the same time. Just put 1 VS 1 in arcade mode. Select a race drive one car at one point and then do the same with the other. Watch the replay and take some photos. ;)
