GT5 Latest News & Discussion

I would be fine with $10-$20 a month for DLC like this. Even small DLC 1 month and large DLC the next.

 

[el fayce]

Unfortunately, XL or Spec II disc only includes the first two DLCs and not the upcoming one. Biggest giveaway is that the XL is on sale on Jan. 17th while this DLC is released on the 18th.

God dammit i really want that aventador

 

[SuperShouden]

So. I guess the "DLC every other month or so" has turned into a Forza-esque "DLC ever month." And I think it's gonna be hard to argue who has the better DLC in the end. Sure, Forza has the better car selection, but GT will have added 3 tracks to the game, with more almost guaranteed to come. This should be an interesting year in the GT vs Forza battle.

 

[Rods]

And it's good, no?

YES!! Monthly DLC please!?!

 

[Tay s]

I'm so sad, a new car pack and it not appear the Mugen Honda Civic type R FN2 ...

Go away, Buzzkillington. We're trying to enjoy the awesomeness of this DLC.

Guys, I just looked at the pictures of the track:

Dusk: / Evening:

Could it be that this is a Time Change-track?

 

[shirakawaa]

Yes, it is. See it here in various lighting conditions:

In GT5, the FIAT is way overrepresented, whereas the higher selling 2CV and Beetle are represented with 1 model only. (Not hating against the Cinquecento, I love that car!)

Glad to see I'm not the only one wanting a premium 2CV. The Brits have the Mini, the Germans have the Beetle and the Trabant, the Italians have the 500... and the French have the 2CV. I hope PD will bring more iconic old cars like these in the future as driving in GT is not all about performance.

This is my face right now:

Awesome.

//EDIT: Thanks for (making!) the videos btw, Akira.

 

[coop500]

Would love to see a premuim MK1 mini in the next pack, with race mods like in GT2.

Like the look of this download pack, didn't bother with the last one but this has a good range. Loving the beetle

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I'm so getting the car pack for the '66 VW Beetle!

I wonder if the dog dishes (hub caps) fall off

Unfortunately, I doubt there will be a body kit and engine mod that would convert this to a drag bug or a baja bug

 

[SuperShouden]

I just noticed the big ol' Hill in the NSX ad. Looks like theres a steep hill climb and a fast downhill part. The downhill section, I assume, will be used for Max Speed.

Premium 2cv or Dyane would be great.

Would be nice to get a challenge between these 3 european icons in PREMIUM form! I remember rides with my Grand mother's Celeste blue's 2ch and its crazy spring work driving as fast as she could on rural very bumped dirt roads... I was 8 or 9... EPIC!

Makes sense to see the Nissan leaf in the game. I have Kaz as a friend on Facebook and he has pics of the leaf. Looks like he was doing a test drive of it. ( not sure if the two are connected) . I would like to drive the leaf to see how it is. Electric Car Spec Race Series anyone????

Which page is actually his? There are several Kazunari Yamauchi pages with the same profile picture.

Based on the HK prices, working out at £6.50... maybe £7.99 over here once released?

 

[RACECAR]

I'm curious as to what I should experience when engaging the Chapperal Downforce option. What would be the biggest indicator that the Fans are on, The sound of the Snowmobile engine or a sudden gain in massive grip?

 

[35mm]

Not sure if already posted, but looks like prices in € will be:

- Car Pack 3: €5.99;
- Track: €4.99.

 

[Maxitsu]

Not sure if already posted, but looks like prices in € will be:

Most likely we'll just be able to adjust the downforce, something that currently is not an option on the 2J...

 

[Fido_le_muet]

- Car Pack 3: €5.99;
- Track: €4.99.

That's quite expensive IMO.
For almost the same price, we got the Complete Pack back in october...

 

[35mm]

They already shown the official prices?

No, they haven't. It was just CVG who reported so.

 

[greggypoos]

tomorrow on yahoo
" Famous granturismo 5 developer arrested for murder of employ and pleas no contest "
Kaz had one thing to say " he leaked my work! my life! that was for GRANTURISMO 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

I thought DLC was supposed to come every 2 months. It seems like every 2 weeks.

Remember it said " Approximately every two months ".
However I wouldnt be surprised if the next DLC would be in early March.
But this DLC every 2 weeks or so is lovely

 

[TP3]

I wonder how long the Max Speed track will be? The Test Course in GT4 was 10km in length. I was hoping that the GT5 Max Speed track/course will be something similar to the Volkswagen test track in Ehra-Lessien which has a straightaway that's just over 5.5 miles long, with a generously banked curve leading up to it.

The beetle certainly does deserve immortalizing in GT5 👍

But then so does the Ford Escort RS1800 Cossack.
And the MG Metro 6R4 International edition.

The Jag is an epic premium to have made it into a DLC list. Older cars seem much more exiting than the new ones for some reason.

This.

I think there is just something far more cool about having an awesome, old Le Mans car than a new car 'featuring HYBRID DRIVES and ECO-EFFICIENT fuel use'.

In other word - Le Mans cars make you go 'Wow' as opposed to the new cars the make you go .. 'that's cool, but I'd rather drive something thats actually fun to drive'
