- wider outlet zone at Top Gear Test Track
- DLC for new premium cars (hopefully free)
- damage system from the beginning
- damage system way more sensitive, especially the physically one
- disable HUD completely
- restrictor plates for NASCAR
- reflections on wet surfaces (only noticed that at special event "Rally Gran Turismo" at Toscana tramac in hard difficulty)
- more race body kits for Premium Cars
- new locations for Photo Travel Mode...more dirty or race places, less bourgeois and touristic places
- brake parts in tuning shop
- topographic influence for Track Editor
- new locations for Track Editor (Toscana gravel, ice surface like Charmonix, Eifel track without completely closed crash barrier around track)
- new calibration for brake pedals (FFB wheels)...without ABS you can´t touch the pedal half to the bottom without getting blocking wheels.

In every other parts, I am satisfied

There is an update due some time in December. The exact contents are unknown, but Polyphony might make the details known closer to the release...

...In fact, I have half a mind to delete any post (in this thread or others) that attempts to communicate with Polyphony Digital directly. We are not directly associated with them, and we have no way of monitoring their activity on the forums.

First off, I'm quite glad that some updates are coming so quickly. Secondly, i'm aware that there is no direct association with gtplanet and pd. I'm sorry if it seems as if i was trying to rally an attempt at contacting pd i was simply trying to state my wishes out-loud (no matter how fruitless). Lastly, I'm sorry if I upset anyone in my miscommunication :(

Well well anyway... after my post I realized that another cool update would be the feature of variable weather and time-of-day.
thanks again
 
Please let us save our lobby configurations. Up to 10 or something like that.

Allow for more restrictions as well. Limits based on the make of the car, maybe country in which it was manufactured, drivetrain, and even limit the lobby to cars that you personally own in the singleplayer portion of the game.

Oh, and let us see everything about a room's options before we join it.

EDIT: Don't want to post again so soon after making this one so:

Photo Mode or the ability to save a replay of a lap in an online Free Run (instead of just the standard saving of a replay after the race). My LFA is pretty smashed up right now and I'd like to show everyone (midway between level 12 and 13 right now), but I can't unless I take a pic with my iPhone. Would rather get some hi-res in-game shots of it though...

What I want has already been said, but I'll post anyway, strength in numbers as they always say!

- Custom colours for cars
- Forza style decal customazation
- More modern cars(Cadillac CTS-V, Bentley Continental Supersports, etc)
- Better track editor, similar to Mod Nation Racers
- Standing start for TG test track
- Standard to premium
- Porsche, RUFs are nice, but Porsches are nicer. I understand its hard to acquire the license, but this is Gran Turismo, so how hard could it be?
 
After playing gt5 for the past couple of days i am very very happy with the game, I'm definitely addicted to playing but there are a few things that just totally annoy me.

In this thread we will post things that could and should be updated in the game, please please be reasonable. i don't want to see people saying..."make all the car premium"

so post things that Polyphony digital should listen to and update it to the game.
Please stay on topic in this thread

put your idea, followed by why it should be put in the game
................................................................................................

-in replay, you should be able to slow motion/rewind/fast forward
---sometimes something really cool happen at the end of a race and you want to watch it again, it would be much nicer to fast forward to that part instead of waiting the entire race, rewind and slow motion would be nice for taking picture, to get the exact picture you would like.

-able to restart a race right after you win so you can get your money faster
---there are a lot of cars in Gran Turismo 5 and money doesn't come easy, please let us restart a race right after we win our money so we can buy that dream car we want, there is no point in reloading the track every time you want to redo a race right after you finish.

-put in a paint color pallet in the paint shop
---its only realistic if you go to a paint shop, you should be able to get whatever color you want, its not that great that we need to buy cars that have the color we want just for there color...

-fix the car in front of smoke texture
--- this is the biggest let downs in the graphics department

-let me do the Magnification in race replays just like i can in photo travel
---it would be so nice to have huge image files that are crystal clear like in photo travel

-keep my settings in photo mode
--- it would be nice if it stayed the way i had it last time, with the camera settings, im tired of every thime i take a photo, to have to put it back into 16,9 and mode 3

-let us fast forward in b-spec
--- we could do it in gt4, why not now? who wants to wait around while the computer races, this will make the game so much more frustrating.

-longer shutter speeds in photo mode
---for better scene of speed in photos. 1/60 of a second in not really that long

-let me save and exit in the middle of a championship
--- sometimes i can only play for so long, and championships take around an hour+ to complete

-some new Car and Track dlc
---Koenigsegg CCX anyone?


thats all i can think of at this moment.
Please write in your ideas and maybe PD will one day read this and make some updates that will make me fall in love with this game as apposed to just liking it

Please stay on topic and please fallow the format i used.

BTW, i really need a Mazda 787 or a Toyota Minolta, can some one please give on to me!

-in arcade mode be able to chose the time you start at in time changing tracks
---i want to race at night without racing for a long time first for photo shoots
 
Yeah agreed in all points...

We also need the online leaderboards immediatly... I sayed it 10 times already but the hotlapping makes no sense without any competition...
 
I wish all tracks had time transitioning and weather.

Edit: The AI needs to be reworked in a bad way. It's like you don't even exist to them.

---TCS Settings as part of the tune as it was in GT4 and GT5P
I really like the ability to have a different TCS level on different cars. Very low on some, 0 on others and a bit higher on others. Especially those high HP RWD beast that B-Spec Bob is trying to drive. He really needs some TCS on those. GT4 had this setting as well as ASM that could be adjusted as part of each of the 3 tunes but it seems to be gone in GT5.

---Prize money and EXP for online races both public and private.
There are so many cars in GT5 that we would all like to have and money is hard to come by. Would be nice is we could get some decent prize money in MP races.

---Invite to race/lounge feature.
It is difficult at present to let your friends know that you have a race lobby open or are in one. In Forza there is a very simple method to invite a friend to join you in a race. We need something like this in GT 5.

---More options in setting restrictions in race lobbies.
The recent addition of HP and weight restriction is a step in the right direction. We need more like drivetrain, Region, Make, Model and so on.

---Option to run a series of races in multiplayer mode.
It would be really nice to be able to pick 2 or 3 or more tracks then be able to set the number of laps on each track and have the race run as a series with an optional pause in between each race. Scroing here should be done as it is in championship events with points awarded in each race of the series to determine the overall winner.

---Nascar rules option in MP lobbies.
It would be very cool if we could activate the Nascar yellow flags into online races when desired.

---Ability to save a tune, perferrably with a name of our choosing or at least the 3 tune option that we had in GT4.
Many cars need to be tweaked a bit to run on different tracks especially when switching between sport tires and race tires. This is to difficult to remember and many of the cars are too expensive to buy two or three for the different setups. We need some way to save the tunes and as mentioned before this needs to include the TCS and ASM settings.

---Brakes.. Where did they go?
I see no options to upgrade brakes nor any options to set them in your tuning area. Are we only able to do this using the in race adjustments now? Do they stay with the car or is it global?

---Online events.
I think it would be really interesting if we could run some of the events that are in career mode in our private lobbies. Prize money would be the same as in career mode and 1 or more friends could get together and run the event in the lobby. AI drivers to fill in to make up for any empty slots.

---Career mode XP based on difficulty of race like A-Spec points were in GT4
For me the game would be a great deal more fun if we had an incentive to run a weaker car in the career mode events. For example if I were to enter a stock MX-5 into an event and win I should get more XP than if I won that same event with an LM race car.

--- Rally race options in online lobbies
I never really cared much for rally races but I must admit that I enjoyed the first rally challenge in the special events section. I would like to be able to setup events like this with my friends to race in the private lobby. I think this could be a lot of fun. And of course need prize money.

---Leaderboards and stats
We need leaderboards, lots of leaderboards. Need boards for totally stock cars like the time trails in GT5P and leaderboards for tuned cars. Need a way to track stats, wins, loses, races ran, miles driven and so on. I know leaderboards are coming just want to mention that there an not be to many leaderboards. The more the merrier.

I'm new to the forum, but I visit gtplanet often and read many of the posts in the forum.

Ok, so here is what I think.

When I first saw the car list I was let down by a few things. First, I really like european cars, IMHO european cars are the best ones, I was really let down when I saw that GT5 had no 2011 or even 2010 BMW models, the 5 series, the 3 series, not even the 4 door M3 was in the list. Mercedes has the same problem, the only new model was the C63 AMG and the SLS AMG, what about all the other cool Mercedes? I would love the S series AMG or the new CLS AMG.

This was a BIG let down for me. I would trade a new M5 for all of the 14 models of RX7.

Have you guys heard of any future DLC regarding these cars? Not the awards cars, which I know it's coming.

Also, all of my PSN friends play call of duty and such games, none play GT5, i would really like to have a friend on my PSN to play GT5 with, any applications? My PSN ID is RConde.

Cheers!!!

Conde

---Top Gear test track should not have invisible walls...
you have already mapped the entire airport and rendered it all, so why not let us drive around the track freely in arcade mode, even if that means driving through the grass

yeah...other than Nascar and Rally, Forza 3 does all of those already...GT5 you disappoint me!! Go stand in the corner!
 
--full support of g25 clutch. Not just on/off.

--backup save feature. Its essential since my current ps3 is about to break down.

--pleeeeeaaaseee fix some really crappy standrad cars and tracks. I am happy overall with most standard cars but some look damn ugly..

--ability to see thumbs of cars in the car delivery button and accept without viewing it.

--slow motion replays.
 
If there's one VERY simple thing that would change this game immensely for me, it would be to at least be able change the wheels on the standard cars. At least give me that.
 
Online Leaderboards
More Premium Cars
Brakes adjustments / upgrades
More options for Online restrictions, series etc as mentioned earlier.
Play GT Life with friends
 
i'd say it could use these. hopefully they happen in later patches of the game:

-drag strip/test track
-change wheels on standard cars
-porsches besides jus the RUF company tuner
-konigsegg
-having paint chips forever after you acquire a color (instead of losing the card)
-brake upgrade (but only if they'll affect performance)
 
I dont see how you can work on a game 4 years, then leave out the most simple aspects. No time trial? Like, I really wonder how/why you would leave that out. 0-60 test, 0-100, top speed etc. And I don't understand this premium and standard car setup. Standard cars look like ps2 graphics. I wish they could do gran turismo 4 all over again with better graphics.
 
I'd like a drag strip that i could send all my cars down full throttle at the same time, or at least as many as could be rendered.

Nice quick comparison of my garage.
 
1: DAMAGE needs to be in
2: Standard cars should at least have a generic cockpit

If just these 2 got fixed i'd be happy, these are major issues IMO, I only race with cockpit view, and damage is a must for any sim.

others:

XP system and money for online races
More rally events
More car customization
Custom music in the main menu
Compare your lap times to your friends
 
So,
we have custom race BGM. This is awesome. Would a patch to allow custom menu music be possible do you think? I know I'd love to have all the GT2 music on mine :D
What do you think?
 
yeah...other than Nascar and Rally, Forza 3 does all of those already...GT5 you disappoint me!! Go stand in the corner!

FM3's online is a farce and their PI/Class system is broken (AWD anyone?).

GT5 giving any control to the players instead of a FPS hopper system is a HUGE leap in the right direction. With the recent addition of power & weight restrictions, I see a lot of promise in the future. There's some growing pains but it's nice to know that the online portion is not set in stone and PD can fix/update/change things rather quickly.
 
This game needs a LOT of updates but we all know it wont happen. The most important is that they really all should have been premium cars.


-Standard cars are TERRIBLE. Should be removed from the game or updated to premium.
-Standard car graphics are a step backward from GT4/GT3
-No inside view with standard cars
-Shadows in the game create a lot of graphic problems on both standard and premium cars. Really really bad on standard cars
-Cant take standard cars to the photo travel
-Cant zoom in on the standard cars with the on track photomode
-Audio is a bit strange and does not sound that good on the interior view. Sounds best on roof cam view (I hate that view)
-No spin around cinematic view after unlocking cars for completing events. Now you have the stupid Car Delivery. Which is terrible.
-Cant change wheels on standard cars
-No inside view on standard cars
-If you purchase wheels and change them, you have to re-purchase the wheels again.
-Some of the load screens are very long
-Online play is a bit rough right now with disconnect issues or freezing
-Piano pounding intro music is terrible. GT4 opening cinema was better
-Damage is just a complete joke even with premium. Takes a good 10-15 minutes of crashing to get results
-Used car dealership only carries standard cars
-No mechanical damage. You can drop from 6th gear to 1st gear with no mechanical damage at all.
-Almost impossible to get flames out of the exhaust
-Cars are dry when its raining
-No huge rewards for completing an entire event. Beginner events for example did not reward with any extra cash even with all gold
-During replays we cant fast forward or rewind.
-Buying parts does not increase the value of a car. So if you put $100,000 in parts into your car, you dont get any credit for it.
-Much of this game feels like a step backward from GT4.
-cant buy brakes
-cant fine tune the transmission. In fact there is almost no tuning at all for the transmission.
