Sadly, they are like this (being short) to allow anyone to simply pick-up and complete. It's easier on the "casual gamer." Good for those with that little bit of spare time in the day.

Especially with in race saves, whats really so wrong with events late in A-Spec mode lasting around a hour each? A 5 lap race is like eating a candybar. Sweet and fast but no lasting benefits. If you ate the candybar when really hungry you'd likely even get sick afterwards. A one hour race is like a full course meal in which after you've taken the time to enjoy it you feel much better for a longer time afterwards.

If PD was truly concerned about the casual gamer, why would they force so much grinding? How many times did I have to run the Indy 500 to level up again? And lets not get started with the 24 hour races that dont allow B-spec drivers to help
 
In race saves weren't there to begin with, so that's probably why the races were short.
 
Short races are also bad in that they make grinding feel even more repetitive. I'd much rather win 20k credits racing a 20 lap race over and over again then winning 3k credits for racing a 3 lap race over and over again.
 
This is going to start in the middle of the day for me...
Mot turning my PS3 off today.

It will mean you can't play GT85 online if you log in during the maintenance.
No online lobbies, no trading, no online anything. And you'll get asked THREE times to log in.

It seems that the GT Franchise has a News maintenance. If you don't get news you make them :P

Beside GT5 has a Online part. So it is something we GT players want to know.

God, we're waiting for this. We need this.

Bummer Thursday was my only day to get on !!
 
Exactly why does everyone always think "PSN Maintanence" means "GT5 Maintanence"? Are people that desperate for news?

Yes, people are that desperate for news.

same engine more content.
Just like GT1 and GT2 on PS1 and GT3 and GT4 on PS2.

At least thats what I'm hoping as I'm not planning on buying another console.

Not really sure that will be possible, not more content on a PS3 disc.

Before release Kaz stated that GT5 had pretty much filled up the disc. There is already a fair amount in the game that relies upon online connectivity to play it - that isn't something I'd relish - PD providing all this extra content that some people around here seem to think is easy to add, purely via an online accessibility mode.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it didn't.
This is probably another white lie like the infamous 6month/car figure.
 
Maybe we should put GT6 on GD-ROMs? If the PS3 could read that, it would solve all of our problems.
 
Has anyone got the true figure for GT5 on size? I've never seen a true number.

No matter the exact size, the game is on a single-layer BD. Even if it was exactly 25 GB, it can still be potentially twice as large by using dual layer BDs.
There are indications GT5 is about 15 GB large, anyway.
 
Guys, like I said before, this means new tracks, new cars, a drag strip, a koenigsegg, Bugatti super sports and new dealers and 2012 NASCARs!!!

:sly:
You know, 'cause speculation is always true.

Why wouldn't it be?
 
Having done some research I've found that it's 19.1GB. Or at least a you know what of it is that big. May be a bit bigger uncompressed but not by much plus as you say if it's only on a SL disc it can't be bigger than about 23.2GB anyway.

I never thought for a second it came close to filling a DL BD disc, there isn't that much in the game to take the space up. The biggest assets in terms of size are of course the premium cars and tracks, other than that it's all pretty small stuff, code is nothing and the standard cars are very basic in terms of MB. Also I'm sure they just slung it on uncompressed because they had plenty of space, I'd bet they could shave a few GB off with compression if they needed to.

In short disc size is clearly not an issue for GT5 and won't be for GT6.
 
Topic?
What is this thing of which you speak?
