Next Gran Turismo 5 Update Coming “Near Christmas”

Gran Turismo 5 November 26th, 2011 by Jordan

While thanking fans for their Twitter messages celebrating GT5‘s one-year-anniversary, Kazunori Yamauchi shared some information about the game’s next update:

Thanks to everyone for the messages. One year goes by quick. The next update is in the latter part of Dec., near Christmas.

A late December launch falls neatly in line with the rough “every two months” DLC release schedule outlined at SEMA, so the date will definitely be raising eyebrows (and expectations) – especially considering Kazunori has a history of playing Santa Claus… Hopefully you’ve been good this year.

Thanks to Joe_Ald for the early tip!

    All that i would like is better nitrous.
    maybe a button that will actually make a difference in the car’s overall performance like in GT4

    I’ll hope we get some new updates in the Transmission tuning section! Either install RWD, FWD, 4WD and if you have installed 4WD you can install power distributor!

    PD, update your priorities while you’re at it! New cars, NOT RM’s. A few classic tracks would not hurt.

    Someone was saying online today that on Polyphony’s site there was licensing on it about them having access to using the Aston Martin one – 77. Now this is just what a guy said online. Haven’t been able to find anything myself.. but he said there were 3 Astons polyphony have that aren’t in game.

      Really? That sounds, really intresting. :) I must not get to hype about it. I’ll be waiting a little bit longer.

      This rumour is also hard to believe because the guy telling me was an online friend, but thing is, it was also his online friend who told him.

      The guy telling me i can believe any day… but not so sure on the other guy >.> haha
