GT5 Latest News & Discussion

He said "that never happened", and not "that will never happen".
Meaning that at the momment it wasn't added to the game yet, but who knows what PD's going to add in the future...

"Never happened" assumes it's all over already - which it isn't, GT5 is still being updated. What he really meant, then, is it "hasn't happened yet" - not quite the same emotional impact, though, eh?

Oh, I see!
You're right.

^^ Wasn't the Subaru suit in with the other DLC suits?

There's a Petter Solberg outfit from the last Subaru WRC year in 2008 in the Special Outfit items.

I know of the DLC suit and this is not it. This is the standard full-face racing helmet with a Sparco Racing suit. The suit has "Subaru" branded across the chest instead of the logo over the left breast as is on the DLC suit.

Completely different.

If you go into Arcade you will find that your driver/avatar has a manufacturer themed suit that corresponds with the car you're driving. They are unavailable for use in any other mode. However, the helmet is the one called Downforce, just doesn't have a manufacturer's emblem on it.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Isn't that the suit you always wear when driving a Subaru in the Arcade Mode and which the AI has when driving a Subbie?

EDIT: Too slow. Was like that in Prologue already.

 

[sumbrownkid]

Why won't PD just unlock the arcade suits as well?

 

[Downhill Dino]

One will never know why this, or why that. Best to just not question them.

Probably manufacturers request. I'm sure Mercedes doesn't want you driving an SLS in an Audi suit and vice versa.

I know this, please see my original post, not the clarification post.

If that's the case then Mercedes is not doing a good job on that front. You can use that Ford rally suit and drive around in a Benz.

 

[mcfizzle]

That's a good point. The only thing I can think of is those suits would licensed by the race teams and not specifically by the manufacturer.

Nice post. I can't really comment anything on it since I don't know how to word it in english. However I can say that you pretty sum almost everything on why I still love Gran Turismo, and appreciate everyone's work at PD.

On the Subie suits, maybe Kaz/someone at PD thought it was a bad idea?
On GT you're regularly changing your car, and having to change your suit everytime you change your car wouldn't be too productive.
(However, a system like the "glitch suit" uses could work, but I don't know if it'd be possible to add and change logos everytime.)

Somewhat a glitch i did a 0:02.268 Lap Time on Tskuba IN a mild tuned S14.

[Downhill Dino]

Oh great... another one of these glitches. Interesting find regardless.

 

[Kitten]

Well Honestly i couldnt do it after. It must of been a bug.

 

[amar212]

For those who have that perspective as well about Kaz, PD, or the GT series, you should read this to see it from another perspective at the very least.

Great post Jak, much appreciated addition to community.

Sadly, it will be drowned in the sea of irrelevant chat, but if that means anything to you, I had it bookmarked for future reference 👍

A new brand coming soon in Gran Turismo 5.

For teasing the Disco Volante, the coachbuilder Touring Superleggera has partnered with the most realistic game simulator ; Gran Turismo !

Where did you get the source from??

I highly doubt it.
There is no viable source as to where it originated. Plus, that doesn't even look rendered in gt5.

so maybe this car will be really in GT5
here is my source
"be sure we are already at work to get the Disco Volante in Gran Turismo 5. And thank you for your support."
👍

Take a picture of the email and show it to us then. If you do, I'll give you. Five gold chromes and. A 10 dollar PSN card.

I would like to see this email as well otherwise its just another rumour like the rest.

 

[Mister Slow]

I guess patience is the game... However seems like good news, whenever the Disco Volante gets released for GT5 DLC. 👍

 

[Samus]

So who made that image? You? It's the only place it seems to appear on the internet.

no i just made the image from the email
i cant find a picture from the car with the same angle like in the picture
so maybe its allready made by PD

 

[Samus]

Sorry can you clarify, that image was in the email sent to you?

 

[AKps3]

Sorry can you clarify, that image was in the email sent to you?

no its in the DLC wishlist thread
a brand new member made the post

 

[Samus]

Oh sorry I didn't realise it was someone else that posted the picture, I thought it was you.

Ok you definitely smacked me good with that post. That looked like a lot of hard work, thank you.

The problem, as I see it, is not how hard Kaz and PD work. It is the decision-making processes that seem to go on at PD's highest levels. Yes, working super hard to achieve 1080p at 60fps is great- but what are we to do with such visual splendor? Take photos? C'mon. We have a REALLY limited A-spec experience- which should be the meat of the game. A.I. characteristics are adjustable in Arcade? And even then we, the customer, have to do a ton of trial-and-error testing in order to get a good grid of competition cars to race against? And even after all of that you basically need to set-up your car to battle the mid-pack instead of the lonely rabbit-chase to try and win? All while not earning XP, money, or any sort of reward? Can't even refresh the UCD with these arcade races- so it's a bit of a joke. Arcade should NOT hold the best racing experience in GT5. (And don't even try to say "go online" ok? Waterbug, quantum-particle behavior of my opponents is certainly not teaching me any real-life racing lessons NOR is it any fun)

30+ car modellers compared to 2 A.I. programmers is another PD decision that we are dealing with. This game makes Sony hundreds of million$ in profit. If some of that boundless profit is not being re-invested in the company (like hiring more programmers) then I don't need to explain who suffers. Hopefully since the big office-move to Fukouka, they have hired some more people, and we'll see the results in GT6. Betting my paycheck on such hopes, though, would be a bit of a risk. This is the reason that some of us spend time and energy making posts about PD's flaws. We just want someone in there to see it and hopefully suggest improvements- because most of the flaws are simply decision-based. Very fixable stuff.

Well said. Constructive critism is always good as it is a motivator to improve, while complaints acts more like a demotivator. Sadly we see too many people who constantly complain about Kaz, PD & Sony. Sometimes people need to research the truth, rather than to speculate, of how the company operates. We know that PD has a limited number of employees, so product quantity will be limited. People need to realize, simple task can actually take an unprecedented amount of time, energy & capital to excute. Since everything is related to money precautionary steps are always taken to minimize loss, even if annoys their client aka consumers.

Me neither, that doesn't mean it isn't there although I hope it's indeed a GT5 image which somehow got leaked, if that email of yours is genuine (which I don't doubt right now) it sure looks promising.
Could you tell the exact question you've asked as then the reply could be seen in the proper context?

Ah okay, thanks, and it's indeed pretty cool you've got an answer.

That being said, it could mean that they're currently trying to get it in GT5 (or 6) and not necessarily mean development work by PD has begun nor that it'll appear at all, just being cautious for now.
