Since the new DLC are now in the NCD do you think PD will put the chromelines and stealth cars in the NCD for people who already have them? I hope so because I want some stock Chromelines since I completely tuned most of mine in my "noob" days :(

Why not?

It would totally ruin the purpose of spending more money buying the signature and collector's editions of GT5.

Not if you already bought the sig/collectors editions...as he did say he already had them. They would just have to make them untradeable if they are not already (I have standard edition).

They are untradeable yes... And a fresh pair of Stealths/Chrome Lines would make no sense.

I like the ones I have already, why would I want new ones?
I don't give a damn about 0/0/0 stuff....
 
He wants to do it for the same reason as with the DLC. Makes sense to me that if you pay for the Sig/Collectors editions and/or DLC that those cars should show up in the NCD. Maybe he doesnt care about 0/0/0 either (as you and I dont), but maybe he wants more than one design, more than 3 tunes, or just more than 1 period. How is this any different than the DLC in your opinion is my question?
 
If you want to completely reset them just delete the GT5 Game utility data. Not the saved game data. If you delete Game utility data and then install all of it again you will automaticly recieve all your chrome cars again 0/0/0 ;)
 
I will have to try that - I am with the OP, I ruined a couple of mine as well being stupid with full mods. I also agree that it would be nice to go buy a new one just like you can with the rest of the DLC. After all, the Chromelines and Stealths are DLC, too.

By the way - for grins I went to sell an RX-7 TC just purchased from the NCD to see what the used price was, and it wouldn't let me sell it or delete it... I found that rather strange...

That could be a problem. I understand not letting you delete the original DLC cars as you paid for them with real cash, but really...even the NCD DLCs? God, everyones garages are going to be packed full of DLC TC cars here pretty soon. PD should rectify this....freaking stupid!
 
Yeah, it could be a problem when you get several cars that are stuck in your garage that are old and busted...

PD does some retarded things sometimes.

DLC should go as follows:
-Purchase DLC on PSN Store
-DLC downloads to PS3 HDD then shows up on the "Download Button" on the GT5 Home Page
-Download the DLC into GT5
-DLC cars show up in your NCD
-Purchase those cars in the NCD with in game GT5 Credits
-Can be sold as any other car under $1mil (or at minimum deleted if so desired)
-Cannot be "given" to friends

This way, DLC cars are implemented correctly and is like every other car in the game (except the ability to "give").

Imagine how this will be after 10 DLC packs....
By that time, as you said, you will have a bunch of worn cars that you cant get rid of. But, at the same time you dont want to buy duplicates. This actually makes me really angry lol.

BTW, I have not seen a thread about this problem yet. You should start one explaining what you have found s0ul_chicken....

There is a thread about it, actually.




One thing to keep in mind is that the Stealths and Chromelines both work considerably differently from how the current DLC works (for example, they are tied to the Game Data and the current DLC is tied to the Save Data; and they automatically show up in your garage whereas the current DLC does not), so PD would probably have to make major changes to them to get them to work the same way.

Yeah I understand that. I know you can delete the gamedata to install new chromeline/stealth, but if I do would my new DLC be gone? And you can't reinstall those ones.
 
The new DLC is completely separate from the Game Data. If you delete your Game Data and reinstall everything, when you finally get back into the game all the new DLC would be exactly as you left it so long as you make sure to install all of the updates.


I know this from experience, because I did the same thing when the first DLC came out to restore my Stealth cars to 0/0/0 when I got the NSX and GT-R Stealth models. Just make sure that you back up your save and fully update the game before trying to restart it and you will be fine.
 
Can't you use the restoration ticket thing on the Chromeline and Stealth cars?

So referring to the bold part, if I took advantage to use that time to also borrow-glitch a car, I have to switch to a different car, so will that disrupt something?

Also, I did use a refresh card on one of them but it doesn't reverse upgrades.
 
If you borrow glitched a car, or did anything that involved starting the game before at least updating it to Spec II, then I honestly can't comment on whether or not you would keep the DLC. If you bought any of the DLC other than the tracks (which can be redownloaded from PSN), I wouldn't risk it.

Alright, not going to risk it then. But thanks for the warnings! I wonder how long it will take though :(
 
Would be nice, want to get the chromeline M3

Another "high horse rider"...figured it wouldn't take long for one to arrive.

On topic: I agree. I'd like to max out my Stealth F1 and GT-R, but want to keep a stock one on the side just in case. And while they're at it, why not throw an overpriced stealth car-chromeline DLC up on the Store? $10-15 so the "high riders" are happy we're paying more than they did (far more actually) for a simple, sexy livery? Oh wait, all the elitists would storm the PD offices and kill Kaz if he did so. :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure the Collectors and Signature edition would cost MORE than GT5 (the game itself) and the $10-15 price you proposed

Collectors edition is between 90-150 dollars I think and I've seen signatures well beyond 250. I meant that these would be available only to users who had them already but like Toronado pointed out, they're formatted differently. I hope they never release the chromelines/stealth to the PSN Store. That would just be a huge middle finger to the people who paid for collectors and signature.
 
I nearly lost access to my Chrome Lines 'cause the glue on the slip ripped the part of the code off, and the game was a gift so I didn't have a receipt to show Sony I had actually purchased the collector's edition. I ended up having to guess two of the characters on the code. It was a sweet moment when I finally got them though.

That aside, I don't think they should be added as DLC, they're a feature of an edition of the game.

👍 Agreed. These cars are meant to be bonuses for those willing to pay more for Gran Turismo, and I hope they remain only available to those who spent the extra money.

I think people are getting confused with the OP's question. It's not asking whether or not these cars should be released as DLC. It's asking if it should be available in the NCD for those who already have these cars. In regards to your OP, they should be in the NCD so people can buy new, stock models.. Fortunately for me, I did leave all of these cars stock.
My favourite is the Cobra Chrome Line, it's fast and a great drifter.

I created a Poll about the Stealth/Chromeline being released as DLC

If you created a new account on your PS3, then you'd get all your Stealth & Chromeline as 0/0/0 stock spec (as well as any other DLC cars you've bought)

This is probably the easiest thing to do if you're just looking to do Seasonals/go online with these cars.

By doing a few seasonals, you'd soon increase to levels to be able to access most of the speacials & A-spec pretty quickly
 
Yes :)
You buy DLC -> DLC cars available in new car dealership, non exchangable.
You buy Signature -> Signature cars available in new car dealership, non exchangable.
You buy Collectors -> Collectors cars available in new car dealership, non exchangable.
Waterproof :)
I would like to tune up some chrome line cars, knowing the stock version will remain unharmed :)

OP question:
There are now tickets to completely change your car back to stock, the way it was :)

Tried the tickets it doesn't revert the tuning options.
 
Being unfair to those that paid for the Special Ed version?
Then make it a pay DLC...
We need less region based cars and restrictions.
