It's been several months since we've seen our last DLC. The competition (if you want to call it that) is blossoming with new cars regularly. Us fans hold on to hopes of news by checking daily for something, but theres nothing time and time again. Is Kaz and his team focusing there energy on the next generation of the series? Is the game dead?

Yes, it is.

My point entirely, the other big patches all had new features, the gt acadamy cars will mainly be new wrapper textures, so there is definatly more than meets the eye with the last patch

The 2.0 update was over a gig because it had 2 new tracks, one of which was spa with weather and the other kart space with track variations, a car pack and it changed the games physics engine and lots more besides, hence it being called 'spec II', if you just compare the fixes and changes ( not additional content ) between spec II patch and this one you can see there hasnt been anywhere near the same chnges made, Spec II changed a hell of a lot more than the last patch so it still leaves scope for a descent DLC waiting for us..................keep your fingers and toes crossed!!!

Twin Ring and 4 new cars could be 600mb

Yh, your totally right, its just suspicous that a pacth that didnt change a lot was half a gig, which leads me to think theres something else there, but obviously its only myself and the other guys who posted here opinions, we could all be wrong, lol wouldnt be the first time.

Don't they make good $$$ on each DLC?

Doesn't Sony need $$$?

P.S. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

You do realize that GTPlanet only makes up a small percentage of Gran Turismo's userbase right?

A quick look at the amount of people playing GT Academy compared to the active users should tell you quite a bit.

What's with the all the people being up in arms about the Pearl Harbor joke? Everyone has already made it clear that it's from Animal House and yet some people still can't handle it and post stupid, overused memes.

Only if you want it to be. Just because DLC hasn't been released doesn't mean a game is just dead all of a sudden.. Besides, Motegi was leaked in GT Academy and chances are it'll be coming to GT5 when the Academy finishes up. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

This is the attitude that makes gaming fun. A game only "dies" when a gamer chooses to give up or loses interest out of a lack of any number of factors. There are several games I play which have been out for a decade or more.

Bolded mine.


One can play GT5 continually, if not continuously.

To provide a frame of reference: I began playing GT5 in Feb 2011 - Version 1.00 - unpatched, no DLC, and still continue to play it offline, having over a thousand cars (with no help whatsoever from freebie online credits, glitches, or any other online transaction) and hoping to beat the full original game - before I start on whatever Kaz ends this edition with, and hoping to enjoy that version online, and enjoy, and beat it in the same way.

People play the game different. People use the simulations diversely. People enjoy the various creative modes in their own obsessive and personal manner. It's a video-interactive experience that is not defined by a single mind's limited use of what is potentially available.
Therefore there is neither deadline, nor completion. As one member stated here succintly; it's over when you say it's over. I might add that that can be in either 5 minutes, or 50 years.
There are players that still go back and play GT4. If only to master Mission 34.
It would be easy for me to also believe that there are those who have beaten the 'game' of GT5, and then go back and start again with some sort of handicap so as to beat the game again, with increased difficulty.

Your OP, though, seems to address a different point; has Kaz finished developing GT5 to its maximun release-potential, and is ready to be done with it - and is he concentrating on something new - something different enough, and a 'step-up' as such from GT5.

One can only speculate on that.
Of course there are wish-lists rife with every form of speculation all over the internet; law of averages being what it is, maybe someone got their fantasy right.
A better use of time would be to play some video-game (GT5, maybe, or Forza4, the upgraded TestDrive2, Driver SF, et al) of your choice, till PD actually places something new on the shelves that we can beat to death, and about which we can go back to thumping our chests afresh.

Cheers,
Harry.
 
its not but its close, the latest game-braking updates, 2.06 and 2.07, really hurt gt5's gameplay, especially the sound, apart from being horrendous, it worked correctly and for some reason PD decided to fix something that didnt need to be fixed in the first place, and now, post 2.06, i cant hear my car when im close to an oponent, i refuse 100% to use titanium exhausts, they sound really bad, but it just doesnt matter, even when racing against stock cars, my car still gets muted, its very annoying and im holding my breath for them to get it fixed

now, after 5 months we get the worst DLC ever, we dont need DLC, just fix the god damn game, i would prefer paying for that than for the content they've given us,

i mean, 6 years of development, are you serious?
other studios must be far more competent then,

6 years pf development
most exepnsive game ever on the ps3
and we get

200 cars
no damage
recycled and worst sound ever
no customization at all
same old events
same old tracks
same old cars

where's the great game evrybody brags about?
GT5 better than Forza 4?

i dont even own a xbox360 nor any forza game and i can tell its miles ahead and more importantly, Turn 10 gets things done faster and with better quality, i honestly think i could do better than PD if i had the resources, i mean they have all they need to make the perfect game evreybody wants

This is a serious problem. Why are cars outside louder than your own engine? I have to look away from the road just to avoid the rev limiter.

Be nice to have that fixed. It's a huge problem with cars needing to be shifted quickly such as F1s.

yeah, im like racing online, and all of the sudden my car feels like it's been penalized and slowed down as consecuence and then i realize im hiting the rev limiter, i am all about sound, at this point in the game i can tell when to change gear just by listening to the car, well i cant do that anymore unless im cruising alone, and the worst part is that even when the oponent is quite far away your car sounds muffed and stays that way until the oponent is extremely far away, in a head to head online race its pretty much impossible to hear your car, you'll have to constantly look at your speedometer and on a track like nurburgring its almost a warranty that you're gonna lose the race by getting distracted,

i mean in the past i could at least tolerate and live with GT5 but now its a pain in the ass

+1, it's becoming a bit absurd tbh. How is it that every competent user on this forum seems to be able to identify the problem with the sound, yet every time PD changes it, it just makes it terrible in a different way. I wish they'd outsource the sound.
 
Mikecustom - I think you have prehaps used a little too much hyperbole in your post:

'200 cars' There's over 1000, and if you are only counting premiums then the number is up to about 270ish, thanks to DLC and free gifts/additions.

'No damage' There is damage, both visual and mechanical. The extent to which cars can be visually be damaged does vary and it generally could do with some improvement but the damage is there.

'Recycled and worst sound ever' Worst sound ever, are you joking me? You should try an 80's/90's arcade game. Also i'll think you'll find pretty much all of the standard sounds are unique, only when you add exhausts do some sound very similar.

'No customisation at all' Again, are you joking me? There's a pretty extensive tuning shop for performance mods and GT Auto lets you paint body's and custom wheels. Standards get custom wheels and wings and premiums can get bodykits and carbon bonnets as well.

'Same old events' Thats how its always been to an extent, but these events usually include new cars and tracks and many of the events are new to GT5, plus there are seasonal events and online, never had either of them in GT4!

'Same old tracks' Hmm lets see - Spa, Daytona, Indy, Monza, Cape Ring, Nurburgring GP/24H, Toscana, Eiger Nordwand, Kart Space plus all of the track generator tracks. And there's nothing wrong with the 'old' tracks either, in fact, many people want all of them back!

'Same old cars' There are about 200 new cars and pretty much all of them are premium!

'I could do better with their resources' To say that is a real discredit and very disrespectful to the whole of PD who have worked long and hard on GT5, have you seen the bunks under their desks! Don't be stupid, there is no way you would be able to create a better game than PD can, it is a very complex procedure. So please don't talk crap.

I should add that I am not a die-hard fanboy who will stick up for everything in the game, I accept it has flaws but instead prefer to just ignore them where possible rather than ranting and raging about them over the internet. Instead, this post was made for the purpose of stating the facts.
