So, I haven't even played the game in over two weeks.....still, nothing new happening.....:rolleyes: Why am I not surprised....
 
So I was trying to get the trophy where you need to use the data logger. Did my lap, went to the data logger, and no trophy for me. Am I doing anything wrong?
 
How many guys use the Race Reports section? It only has a few (300 something) posts in it, and the next lowest is nearly 10 times that amount (Track editor forum).
Do many people go in there and just read or is the GTPlanet wasteland?

Reason I ask, is that I've just started contributing to it with a Magazine style thread and it seems that I have to go and shamefully plug it in other threads :(




Shameful Plug.

Or is it that just nobody like my writing haha. :)
 
Kaz just replied to my question on Twitter:

"Kaz, will the new seasonal events be up soon?"

Reply:

"A little break".
 
I think Mr. Kaz was very surprised about the bad test in Games Magazines and when critic comes about the flickering shadows, the rythm sound when driving, sounds like a radio with very low loudness, bum,bum - bumbumbum, when driving with some cars.

All the critic hits Mr. Katz hard, in his opinion he and PD had half a year time to do some updates, and now the time runs very fast and there is nothing, and i think that we will never see Download Content in the form of cars or tracks.

Some patching - ok. I have 14 Million CR. all the cars i like, most of them are not in the game, no old Fords, Escords, Sierras, no Premium BMW M1, E30, or 2002 turbo i waited for since they anounced the first HD Game / Demo.

I didnt play the game for about two weeks, no interest to wait, ....

Now im waiting for my preorderd TDU2, coming next week and than im looking forward to Forza 4.

Perhaps we will see one track in may, 5 cars in June. hey, thats great. Ok, its the first main game for PD with good looking Cars, and with the possibility to offer DLC for money, there is a lot they have to learn..

The point where the fun breaks is that they didnt understand that we are in 2011, and that it is not acceptable in the actual time to have two different types of quality cars.

Best regards

Why there are no more seasonals events? What's going on?
Are they working in the next update or.. seasonals are simply finished?
 
i need a Le Mans premium pack DLC ..... AUDI R8 , Sauber , 2 Nissans end the rest. It's like 10 cars..... 10 $...20 $ it doesn't matter!!!

We're "having a break".

If that's Kaz resting from his trip before devising/aproving the new seasonals, or if these are "suspended" for a while, is unclear at the moment.

edit:
Come to think of it... I guess one implies the other.

Enjoy the newest P4/5 Competizione, based on a F430 Scuderia chassis. This beast has been built for Glickenaus, as well as the P4/5 which was based on the Enzo, and will take the start at the next 'Ring 24H...Kaz did you hear, you 'Ring fanatic? We want this car!!!
 
Hopefully the next update and the upcoming end of Online Prologue means we will get car leaderboards.

I can´t wait for this, it´s really what will make GT5 last 2-3 years.

What do you mean by leaderboards? And how will they make the game last 2-3 more years?

Is it just an online leaderboard, similar to the drift and time trial boards of the seasonal events? Where we can see who got the best time or most points?

I don't understand how that will make the game last longer. Most everyone is going to be using the X2010 or whatever. I couldn't care less. I have no desire to use that...thing...whatsoever.

Unless my understanding of leaderboards is wrong? I don't know...
 
One thing I have to concede... I never lost interest on a GT (full) game this fast. And I don't think "museum card" bonuses and leaderboards or even the seasonal events (which look to be halted at the moment) will keep it alive long.
 
GT 5 is dead.

Hopefully it will be regarded dead by many who move on to something else, so that the open online lobby will be mostly populated by those who actually want to race instead of winning at all costs or just fooling around.

GT5 is dead, long live GT5.
 
Anyone know if it's possible to have torque displayed in lbft rather than Nm? There doesn't seem to be an option for it.

Surprising...there's places that still use 18th century units of measurement?

:sly:


I'm thinking...if the seasonal events for this week aren't happening, but we have all the rally cars, will next weeks seasonal events assume you picked one of them up and offer cars for the following week?
 
So I'm slightly confused about 0 mile standards.

I'm guessing those that get 0 mile standard race cars and the like use tickets to get them instead of the UCD. Because it's the used car lot, after all. Am I correct here?

Notable exception would be the Veyron, appears 0 miles in the UCD. Only one I've come across 0 miles after 800 days in game.

Correct. 0 mile standard car can only be obtained by Ticket and random reward. People prefer it because you can give the car its first oil change then engine break in will give the cars more HP than buying from UCD.
 
Yes man !!!! Next update all LMP1 end group C cars PREMIUM !!!!

As that what you want in the next update or is that what you're saying is going to be in the next update?

Maybe in the options section for units of measure? My US version shows lbft for torque. 👍
 
Theres no option for lb ft in the Uk which sucks. The motor industry seems to think we work in PS and NM in the UK but we don't, we like bhp and lb ft.
 
Power gets displayed in kW when the language is set to german, even though everybody uses PS when talking about combustion engines.

Luckily mine is set to english, but then torque is displayed in kgfm instead of Nm.
Its roughly 1:10 (1 kgfm= 9.8 Nm) but it still sucks we can't choose the units we like.

Wouldn't have been that hard to implement such a feature IMHO
