GTPlanet's longest thread, now watch as it disappears deep into the many thousands of pages on the forum.

But we'll keep on playing.

 

[Flaco13]

Problem is the second half of last year, they were constantly updating the game, improving it, fixing errors, giving us new features we all cried for... Then to excite us even more the last months of 2011 we had the start of the DLC. And we could keep ourselves busy with cool seasonal events. This created high expectations that in the end we would end up with the masterwork GT5 was supposed to be when they released it.

2012 came; the seasonal events were ditched for the lame formula we have now (for me only the A spec events i keep racing, Time trial and drift i gold once for the dough, and B spec i don't even bother with). Like that only one new event thats useful (but lame), every 3 weeks...

Upon that the DLC and updates dried out all of a sudden. And whilst we have this silence from PD the last months, and no seasonals to look forward to neither anymore, we see T10 giving their fanbase dozens of new treats on a continuous basis.

Result= fustration. At least some transparency from PD (a status update or some news for example); would help a lot. But there's only this silence, who knows maybe they have given up on GT5 alltogether...

The frustration comes from the lack of patience so many people have, unfortunately
Why this misstrust towards PD all of a sudden? It´s PD, their staff can´t provide player with everything they want, their staff is too small.

But I don´t understand why even doubting there ongoing care for this title.

And they certainly arent busy doing GT Academy, the Academy is a working group of its own exept for Kaz himself nobody of the PD staff is working on GT Academy, if they work on something related to it however it might be modelling Academy related Cars

oh these generalizations don´t lead to anything good, sorry

👍 That's the truth.

👍 That's the truth.

I don´t know, honestly, if it´s the truth. But I know its my opinion

Thank you another_jakhole

 

[another_jakhole]

The expectations some people have seem like they're supposed to be facts. How do people expect everything to come as they see fit?

You're right, but what I meant to say is I concur.

Easy; double your staff you will be able to keep your deadlines, bring out DLC, improve the points of the game that need improving and work on GT6.

With the millions they make, and the lessons of all those deadlines they have already missed (by years!), they should have done that already.

But no... with the 140 something staff they have, they will have troubles updating their existing games and we will see GT6 somewhere in 2015 (i bet 2 years after the original release date).

We'll get a prologue tough untill then

 

[McClarenDesign]

Face it, nothing will ever be good enough.

Now can we move on?

So this excuses PD to keep us in the dark regarding the future of the game? You can't deny that people would be a little more understanding if they kept us up to date occasionally, instead of making people wait indefinitely for stuff. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg to do this.

Wouldn't be a bad idea if they would play Forza, so they can pick up the good ideas there.

Don't get me wrong, i'm happy with what i got and i play GT5 each day.

But it's sad to see how they struggled to release the game (yet again) and then were forced to do so with a final deadline (christmas 2010), resulting in a game that was not finished at all.

Thus afterwards having to play catchup, and bit by bit loosing out on the competition. It's a dog eat dog world and if you wanna be the best and stay the best you better get your act together.

Bueno, basta de quejas, ahora voy a jugar un poco de GT5

No I can´t and I did never deny that a lil transparacy from there side would be cool, where did you see me saying this?

Eso hermano! Though I agree it in fact would be a good idea (and of course its more than likely they do!) Competition is always good for business, and that is exactly why I dont think we should give up hope for more content to come, and work on GT6 no doubt is in progress aswell

dales fuerte pero limpio

 

[sumbrownkid]

Maybe the people at PD have collective anxiety issues which prevents them from reaching out to fans?

My conspiracy Keanu is coming out.

Wasn't trying to put words in your mouth or anything. Sorry if it came across that way.

Famine unstickied it along with others like The Star in the Reasonably Priced Car. I personally think this should go back to where it belongs. As a sticky at the top of this forum. The over 74,000 posts total should not justify why this thread in particular should be left to drown in the hundreds of pages that is the GT5 Forum. Can Famine explain his reasoning for unsticking the*most popular thread in the GT5 Forum? 👎

Yes he can.

Can users who have a direct question for the staff ask it directly of the staff or just bury it in a 75,000 post thread? That rather depends on the member...

 

[Darren.]

I still don't get as to why, its only 3 Stickies if this were to be re-stikied. That alone will take up less than 1/10 of the page.

WHY !!! would he do that!!!!! Has he lost his judgement!
PS This is like the main news feed!!!

It's only three stickies if any other thread were to be stickied instead. Pick one.

Or rather don't. All of the previous sticky threads are directly linked to from the new one, along with several other helpful threads. It is done this way to clean up the forum, prevent clutter from niche threads, to direct users more appropriately, to prevent superfluous topic creation and to keep discussion going as it should do. If a thread is popular it will stay at the top through its own merits..

Considering that this was discussed amongst the staff over a number of days and the link I just posted that takes you directly to where this question should have been asked contains a message of support from the site owner, your comments about my judgement are not appreciated.

 

[Darren.]

No. I quote directly from Jordan:

They've just been "un-stickied", as Famine has been working hard over the last few days to clean up the GT5 forum. Most of the previously sticky / important threads in the topic have been linked from his new (and sticky) GT5 Forums Help & FAQ Thread.

Although I think the unstickieing of this thread was a wrong decision in itself.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

I still don't get why they did it ? =( I mean, its like throwing an article into a pile of papers, that's not organized!! or clean!

 

[Fido_le_muet]

OK, whining stops here.
It's just a new organization of the forum, you will get used to it in no time.

If a thread is popular it will stay at the top through its own merits.

When opening this forum, a new user was greeting first with a mass of subforums, then a mass of pinned threads - some that they couldn't post in. This is quite daunting and, as a result, a lot of information contained in the stickies (that we thought was important) was, ironically, lost to them.

This way encourages participation. If a thread is popular it will remain at the top through its own merits but, also, old sticky threads are permanently linked from the single pinned help thread. So they can be found, whenever you want. Just like if they were stickies, but without the clutter of having them stickied...

 

[JBanton]

Although I don't like the fact that this thread has been un-stickied I'm not afraid of it slipping, the way we all be posting in it .

(Or, as of today maybe the way we'll be complaining in it will keep it afloat at the top?)
