Kazunori Yamauchi Famitsu Interview 16/12 - Large GT5 update scheduled for <> 20/12

[SimplyKok]

608mb patch. Downloading now.

 

[Dan Hill]

This better have the back up data. I have a 'Fat' (80gb) and the Fats seem to be the main ones getting YLOD.

Have a feeling it won't though have back up though.

 

[Big Ron]

I can´t get it, why people are believing in Twitter-talking. Everything you get from Kaz is his well known wishy-washy-statements with nothing official, nothing concrete, nothing informative.

And talking with KAz via Twitter is like talking with George W. Bush via Twitter....you will just get, what he is willing to give you.....superficial stuff.

The problem in last weeks is, that everything Kaz writes about Twitter is transformed into possible updates, patches, DLC.

And that is so stupid, cause it makes people quite impatient, nervous and jittery.

V. 1.05 12 minutes left :-)

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I just restarted, and found update version 1.05.. size 608MB.

 

[KilzoneStrife]

Update on what its got after its downloaded. Hoping..it has a premium... Hahaha. I doubt that.

 

[shirakawaa]

608 MB? Wow!

 

[sems4arsenal]

So what is the full list of features in the update?

 

[KilzoneStrife]

Hope its not asking too much to get a change log or list of fixes from PD..

 

[Big Ron]

So what is the full list of features in the update?

Can you see any change log here? We will expect, what was changed in detail when the developer gives us the log file.

Otherwise we need to try the trial&error-system to find out what changed.

 

[Amused2Death66]

Well this is genuine anyway. Just downloading the patch now

Turned on this morning and still got the server maintenance message. Was hoping to download it before work. Oh well, I hope there's some nice features added.

Other than that, which I can't access due to the servers undergoing maintenance, the VLN layouts of Nuerburgring also have been unlocked automatically for me (I didn't yet complete the AMG Driving School). I can't see any other visible change. Doesn't seem much so far for a 608 MB patch.

No complete G25/G27 or Fanatec wheels support yet either.
An undocumented "Showcase" checkbox appeared in the Options/Demo menu.
User BGM can now be selected for Menus.
"Hide Instruments" Appeared under Options>Race Display>Race Info Display.
Mechanical Damage can be now selected in offline Single Races (or did I miss that out?)

 

[DJCarlos]

When you set user BGM to "shuffle" does it stay that way now?

Or do I still have to do it every time I boot the game up?

 

[tibiquera]

Do you guys know if the whole interview has been translated to English?

Any one?

I could use Google to translate, but usually the translation from Japanese is quite broken.

 

[Owen.C93]

Well done to PD to sticking to the date.

 

[MrKipling43]

Still no cash prizes for online racing? Shame.

 

[shirakawaa]

Still no cash prizes for online racing? Shame.

Yes, there are.

 

[Tenacious D]

I wonder if "big" Ron feels so big right now. He sure seems to know as much about Polyphony as he does about American politics...
