Eh???
So I was driving on GT5 last night, different tracks and I noticed some stuff.
1) Horns are now louder and have an echo where an echo is relevant
2) the R8 V10 has been sorted out. It is actually a V10 now, with a V10 engine, not a V8 that says V10.
3) The cockpit view at night is a lot easier to see now, doesn't seem to dazzle anymore
4) The sound of the rain. You can actually hear it well while you drive
5) Tire compounds are slightly improved
6) Shadows are less jaggy
7) Photomode seems to take nicer pics (or it's just me)
8) Something about each car sounds better, not sure why though, or what it is


Can't remember what else, but it was great to play GT5 in the afternoon for a bit. Can't wait for to install the update, and december when the DLC is fixed!
 
I'm downloading 2.01 update , lets see what is new , its sound good the things you mentioned .
 
I noticed (or maybe i'm going crazy) they changed the chase cam positions for some cars

I remember the premium r33 taking up the whole screen, now its farther forward and smaller, while at the same time, the nismo r32 now takes up the entire screen.. weird..

actually thats true
try merc sls before the update it takes the whole screen , now its small.
 
While the chase cam isn't perfect, it's certainly a lot better than 1.01's effort.
 
I have noticed that high and low beam are now significantly different, before 2.0 high beam just seemed to add light to low beam, now low beam actually points at the road and is quite bright and high beam points at more or less the same position as before the update.
 
I'll throw this in because I've not read anything about it, nor do I know whether it's been fixed; lap times from different psn ids on my PS3 seem to appear in both users' games???
 
Tell you what i'd like from the camera, one similar to GTPSP's one. 👍 Not so much stuck on the back of the car but very dynamic!
 
Cars get much 'dirtier'. I noticed this because when I used to farm B spec with FGT no matter how long its been driven, it doesnt ever really get dirty. Now mud/dirt and all seems to cover the back portion of the FGT after 100 or so laps right before I gave it a car wash.
 
One thing i noticed, is that the sound from the cockpit view is almost the same as from bumper view. It would be great if someone could confirm it (i am at work right now).
 
Not sure if this is because spec 2, but for some reason...when I do seasonals, it updates the ucd.
 
The Shelby Series One has been fixed. Prior to Spec 2.0 the double stripes covered the license plate and the symbol.

2.01? really?

well a play dark souls at the moment, not informed about new things here (i know the 2.0 update/dlc) but the 2.01 is new for me, ill check :)
 
wish i could try all this new stuff but the new update signs me out when it starts.. think SKY are have serious probs at the moment..
 
Well I noticed that since 2.00 that my BSpec drivers are less aggressive. They have gone back to following behind cars even on the straights like they did before patches but not as bad. Very disappointed as now my Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton Bobs drive like nuns now. Yes there are still BSpec lovers out there that will notice these things. they used to be aggressive even in turns and even if the got stuck soon as it straightened up they would dip out and overtake. No so much anymore sadly. Still better than prepatched GT5 but a little step back.

I'll download 2.01 soon as I get home.

I've actually gotten used to the static chase cam.

To me it now seems really odd to have it loose, like in other racing games. Surely the camera sould always be pointing in the same direction as your car.

I first thought Kaz was insane, by having it like this. But it turns out that his method was right all along O.o
 
It's made GT5 a much more complete game. And like someone mentioned above, the Full Beams and Dipped Headlights seem proper now.

Noticed this as well. The sounds seem a little more low pitch. ( <-- Is that a correct sentece btw?)

Yeah, they do. And the correct sentence (a version of) would be:
The sounds seem to be a little lower in pitch.
