Maintenance is just maintenance, nothing to get overly excited about. Updates are usually only bug fixes. Updates after DLC announcements bring DLC.
 
Maybe we'll get all the standards converted to premium! No!?

Maintenance is just maintenance, nothing to get overly excited about. Updates are usually only bug fixes. Updates after DLC announcements bring DLC.

Don't forget that the RouteX DLC was officially announced the day before it arrived. I'm holding out hope for an update at the very least, but would love to wake up to a DLC announcement Monday morning. If it's neither than I will continue to enjoy the game and wait patiently for more news.

The other thing to remember is when photo stream was delayed the announcement said the 'update' for March has been delayed. So we know an update is coming, it's a matter of when not if.
 
I don't know. They've taken a lot of time already. I'm sure that there is something else coming besides Photo Stream. What it is? I have no clue. It's been a while since they haven't given us bonus stuff in updates, which I think they should considering the long wait.

To this point I wouldn't mind if it's a free GTR or something. If they don't give us anything, then I would prefer that they confirm that they've started working on GT6.

This. But I think they started working on GT6 long time ago. If it's for PS3 (as I hope) it'll just be "GT5 4.0", the Gran Turismo 5 we all wanted but what we got now it's GT5 2.0+ and possibly until the end of its lifespan, a good spec 3 (with some key feature, like Spec 2 was), making it GT5 3.0... Kaz said that the only stuff that aren't coming to GT5 it's stuff big or complex enough that couldn't be added later, so those are being saved for GT6, but looks like the base system will be GT5.

So, it seems like they'll support GT5 at least until the end of this year because the DLC have good sell figures and it'll keep giving money to them. (Just a personal tought)

About the delay, I think after tons of criticism they just decided to wait and test more before releasing. (the correct way to do stuff, they should've been doing this since the beginning, releasing Photo Stream first on Asia it's a proof of that, maybe)

So, they are either testing some fixes a lot more, or they really have something cool in their hands for us. New DLC for sure... but the update is what makes me curious.

I'm trying to not get expectations too high but after this long period without news... I can only hope for something. :nervous:
 
I think that this thread will be one of the most commented this week end !
I just hope new DLC

APRIL 4th is my BIRTHDAY!!! What a gift lol
This most likely means that you won't be able to play GT5 online when the server are undergoing maintenance. Not a really good gift if you plan on racing online on your b-day. :crazy:
 
Hopefully it has something to do with the delayed march update and photostream, but I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.
 
Doesn't the maintenance last for 2 hours or something it said in the news section?

Polyphony will be taking GT5‘s online services for approximately two hours, starting at 05:00 GMT/UTC.
 
Just remember folks, every update that had DLC in it came on a Monday/Tuesday. It may change with this maintenance, but I doubt it.
 
You gotta love the comments in the news section. It's like a whole subforum restricted to 13 year olds.
 
Its probably a Photo Stream update plus DLC since DLC for march has also been delayed.

Why do people say the March DLC has been delayed? A DLC in March has always been nothing more than pure speculation. There has never been an official announcement or schedule for the next DLC! So how did PD delay something that has never existed?
The March Photo Stream update is the only thing that was announced and has been delayed.
 
I love this site. PD announce maintenance and everyone goes 'OMG WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?'. It means maintenance.

Saw this coming the same day XL was announced.
 
After the last dlc and update looks like kaz taking a nap , no important tweets only few seasonal events , technically maintenance means something good is coming and fans only keep wishing for something from their dream world and kaz+pd give something bad like a punch in the face .

but why not ? lets wish or hope or whatever we want for something go0d .
