More Gran Turismo 5 DLC Confirmed by Kazunori Yamauchi
Kazunori Yamauchi put to rest any doubts about Polyphony Digital’s long-term plans for GT5, confirming the company is “preparing” new DLC for the game in response to “continued interest” and requests from players.
Though he avoided a question about Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Vita, he did not deny the existence of such a title, simply stating that such information is “confidential” and that he “cannot talk about [it]“.
The full interview, composed of user-submitted questions, was published in Spanish, but has been translated in full by GTPlanet user CorvetteConquer and is available below.
TopoClandestino: What does a community of gamers/drivers, like the Spanish, continually supporting Gran Turismo, mean to you?
Yamauchi-san: Spain is the country I’m most fond of, above all for its land, for its people, for its food, etc. It’s a place where I can relax and feel very much at ease. And the most important thing is, as we’ve seen in the presentation, the fact that I’m surrounded by so many people, allows me to absorb all of that energy which they emit and that, to me, is very important.GAMELAB: Will it be a while until we see GT Vita?
Yamauchi-san: Well, this type of information is confidential and I still cannot talk to you guys about that.CJ_vzla: Do you believe that GT Academy could extend itself to regions like South America?
Yamauchi-san: I have a feeling; yes. Really, I believe that a South American GT Academy could become a reality since GT Academy started out being a very small project, but little by little, it’s expanding.
lorddevil6969696: Will we have new DLC for GT5?
Yamauchi-san: Yes, we are preparing new DLC content for GT5. Despite it being a long time since GT5′s release, we have received a lot of fan messages asking about new DLC content. And that display of continued interest is something very important to us.
ozvaldini: Could a story mode be implemented to better the gaming experience?
Yamauchi-san: Of course that’s possible. On a daily basis, new ideas and future visions come to mind to include in future Gran Turismo titles. So, responding to your question, yes, we are thinking of new ways to ensure that users will have the most fun.THUNDERbreaks: Will there be some sort of event editor in the future?
Yamauchi-san: Of course, this is something we’ve been thinking about and I’m keeping it in mind for future improvements.
AK_KOV: Will we someday see the Porsche license in GT?
Yamauchi-san: Well, we can’t say no; it’s something that many users ask me.Guitis77: How come, while in a race, the time gaps (differences) don’t show up for the car in front of you and behind you?
Yamauchi-san: If the public demands it, it can be implemented. The problem we have is that in the same screen (the racing display, as we call it), we have to put in a lot of information, too much information. That’s why at the beginning, we only saw it necessary to insert the times of the leading car, but hey, it’s something we’re always giving a go.PS.Blog: On the PlayStation blog, we know that Kazunori Yamauchi is a huge motor enthusiast. We would like to know your opinion about GT Academy and Lucas Ordoñez.
Yamauchi-san: Well, first, I consider it a miracle that a video game could be the gateway to something as real as driving race cars. That a program like GT Academy could be able to do this brings me great satisfaction. And the idea of looking back at people like Lucas Ordoñez being capable of adapting to the change of risking his life on circuits is something that makes me very happy. What Lucas does is impressive and I really hope that you are filled with his spirit because he is someone that has opened the pathway for all of you.

I’d be surprised if it happens, but I really want indycar. Doubt it will happen, would pay $10 for it if it did. Racing in indycar is fantastic, the worlds fastest, we wont have F1 because the licencing Bernie wants is stupid, and with indycar the world’s open-wheel heads can get their fix. Plus, running the Indy 500 in the game against LMP’s is weird, we need indycar for that, lol!

don’t know what you lot will make of this idea but how about a legends of gt dlc pack , only did a list for gt1 so you could get my drift , chevy camaro , eg civic , mitsi gto , nissan 180 , impreza wrx , supra rz

Those are all already in GT5. Why would you want duplicates as DLC? I mean, upgrades I get, like the ’00 Z28, but saying you want a ’13 Camaro SS seems a bit redundant.

My suggestions are more Premium cars and tracks..
Premium Supra, Trueno/Levin, Veyron, DC2 Type R, Spoon S2000 Race car, Rufs, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Group C etc etc.. and more classic tracks. -
August 7th, 2012 at 4:51 am - #flink racquet
All group C cars premium, rear park assist, multicolour wheels, individual controlled tyre pressure sensors using the PSP as the readout screen, Premium museum cards. That is all.
-
August 14th, 2012 at 11:02 am - #gamerdog6482
When would you use park assist? This is a racing sim not The Sims!
-
August 19th, 2012 at 10:58 pm - #Amac500
What’s the point to multi-color wheels? They are spinning, it will just look like 1 color. Why would you not want to paint your car multicolors first?

How about a classic cars pack? Like Facel Vega HK500, Lancia Fulvia, mark II Ford Escort, Volvo P1800E, Ferrari 365 GT, Lamborghini Jarama, Saab 96 V4, Renault Daulphine, Citroen DS1, and Opel Manta.
Hint hint.

I would like Bikes in the game, like Ducati 1198S, Ducati Hypermotard etc. :), but is it still GT like that?!

i’d be happy if we only got 1 dlc pack this year , but it has to be the gun-sai cycle centre from bm touge showdown , combined with the touge monsters garage of say 10 cars from the likes of mcr , kie office , yashio factory , re amemiya etc , these cars would have tuning locked , plus have the gun-sai an on going online tt with the 3 classes available , the cars mentioned are all in game premium models so would require less time on building at pd’s end , pricing would be 12-15 gbp ,

That’s ridiculous. I can’t really understand ha;f of what you’re saying (Not sure if that’s English), but having ANY car not tunable is a horrible idea. also, $24 for any single DLC is ridiculous.
-
July 22nd, 2012 at 7:57 am - #w115ter
dont know where u learned to read but before u attack me with bs take a second to actually see whats written , non tunable cars means no fools with max bhp/ps/kw & lowest kg/lbs , it would be the way the tuner made them , i take it by ur reaction ur 1 of many who drives fully tuned fully lightened gold chrome 300mph car , also i dont think 12gbp is unreasonable for such a prestigeous track & cars , eo

An uncostumizable car in GT5 is ludicrous, there hasn’t been a single on since GT1. Even the Tank Car has some customization.
And also, text speak is not appreciated. -
July 22nd, 2012 at 10:22 am - #w115ter
every 1 of the aforementioned cars r extensively modded by the respective tuning houses , once again READ instead of glance , btw (yeah more txt speak) i see below all u want is a koenigsegg agera r , lmao (again) i got to have u for my house , i may be wrong but my idea of a good race is mostly using the mid to lower gears at mid to high rpm , not doin route x at 250mph for hours ….. i await ur haste response , pffft

I literally can’t understand what you’re trying to say. I have no idea how to respond to that; it doesn’t even look English.

All I want right now is the Koenigsegg Agera R. That’s it.
And LP editor, but that’s a giving.-
July 22nd, 2012 at 10:27 am - #gamerdog6482
*LP meaning Licences Plate.
-
August 7th, 2012 at 4:53 am - #flink racquet
A licence plate editor sounds exciting! I’ll trade in all future car and track DLC for this! Caz, make it happen!
-
August 14th, 2012 at 11:04 am - #gamerdog6482
Lol “Caz”.
Anyway, it would be that hard. Well, OK it would be but it would be worth it!

I have question to all: Can GT5 get more bad cars?
My answer is no. -

Me: Can we have free pie with Gran Turismo?
Yamauchi-san: Of course, it would be possible to have free pie. Users love pie and there is a demand for pie so that is a possibility.

There are many automobile manufacturers to choose from in the game but some offer few choices. For example, Aston Martin. My favorite Aston Martins are the DBS and the one-77 and I would really enjoy having them as DLC. Now, I realize that Nissan is pretty much the main sponsor for this game but there needs to be almost just as many cars for the other manufacturers. PS3′s Gran Turismo 5 seems to go head-to-head with Xbox 360′s Forza Motorsport 4 and there are a lot of automobiles in Forza that I would much enjoy having in GT5. Also, a big feature that I long for having is a 360 freecam for external and internal view.

If we are talking about cars how can we forget FERRARI F50, lamborghini diablo, Dodge charger, well they should also change the engine sound for maserati gran turismo give it a lil bit muscular sound atleast.

Diablo SV sounds nice.
Countach SV and Miura SV (did they make that?) would be great.
I would also love a Ferrari FXX.

What about livery chips? If we have paint chips can we have chips for things like a Gulf livery, a martini livery, red bull livery. Have like 3 options for different sponsors. We can just use them for premium cars, that would be fine. That would be really cool!
