Will you be updating to 2.12?

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

There is a new PS3 System update today. I wonder that if I update my PS3 would it update my GT5? I don't want to update my GT5 yet.

When has a PS3 system update has any effect on a GT5 update?

 

[WWE907]

It will suck to lose the ability to hack the cars, but I hacked my game save's money just so I could get all of the cars without having to worry about money, and I still haven't downloaded 2.12 yet, so I still have my money and the ability to buy all of the cars. After that, and after I lose my 4 billion dollars, money won't really matter anyway, so I won't have lost much.

So you'd rather buy the cars than play the game to get them? I'm sorry, but did you know what the GT series is about before you got the game?

I prefer to play through GT games personally, but maybe he is a casual player that just wants to experience all the cars and drive them when he can, not having to grind seasonals?

I don't know, that's why I asked.

I figured that if you updated the PS3 so that it would work online again it would also update your game data.

Ah I see. I think the 4.41 update was just for the OS.

There are games for you boys to muck with and mod. GT5 is not one of them , you are just gonna have to accept that its not welcome in this game. Try Rfactor on PC. This game is open to modders and you can mod and poke and prod all you want , then release your creation for the community to try. Sound good ? Leave GT5 alone and let it be the basic fair level racing ground that it is. There are avenues for you boys , you have just taken a wrong turn.

Already have, sadly. I lost my beauty, my baby, my pride-and-joy...A 1969 Camaro Z28 with a 2J engine (loved hearing her 8.3 litre Aluminum-Block Chevy V8 roar). And now, I'm forced to listen to the generic NASCAR engine sound the titanium racing exhaust makes, which is on like 50 other cars.
Good job PD...good job. You have successfully ruined your reputation with the realistic hybriding community.

PD ruined THEIR reputation with the HYBRIDING community ????? are you seriously that delusional ????

 

[Tornado]

Maybe he IS, maybe he ISN'T!!!! Maybe overemphasizing your point with EXCESSIVE punctuation and capitalization UNDERMINES it rather than makes it STRONGER when you don't explain WHY the DELUSIONAL statement is actually DELUSIONAL!!!!

 

[Fulch]

Thats some pretty text Tornado , I take you way more seriously now. To think that the Hybriding communitys reputation is anything in comparrison to PD reputation , is delusional.

 

[Eks]

Hope you're not trying to say anything about colored text.

 

[Zuel]

maybe he is, maybe he isn't!!!! Maybe overemphasizing your point with excessive punctuation and capitalization undermines it rather than makes it stronger when you don't explain why the delusional statement is actually delusional!!!!

lol!!!

That seems like a rather shallow thing to judge a post on. I wonder what Famine, Terronium-12 or niky would think.

Ah, that's what I was looking for. Explaining your point rather than just dismissing others' out of hand without an explanation.


Though there is certainly something to be said for the methodology that PD did deal with the hybrids (not even acknowledging their existence, and dropping a stealth patch on players that disables them entirely rather than just blocking them from online which was the real "problem" that affected others, and not even taking care to block the things that could more obviously be abused like the Super Soft tires) that calls to focus more general rumbles about PD's lack of external communication for why they operate rather than anything to do with this specific patch. And for sure that does effect their reputation as a developer.




As an aside:

Have you actually read anything anyone else has had to say or is this just an assumption you choose to carry around in ignorance? Inflammatory as it might be, I'll bite... if you want to meet me on any track and in any car once I have updated, I'll be happy to give you a clean and fair driving lesson. In the mean time, I suggest you do some reading or don't bother saying anything else.

Ive read a bit , but come on its 24 pages , mostly filled with hackers whinging about their over gripped and over powered cars bieng taken from them blah blah blah. This is my ps3 name , add me and Ill be happy to recieve that lesson fast-fulch

I'd put a hell of a lot of money on R1600Turbo (as in the person who started this thread to say he won't be updating; who made it to, I believe, the finals of GT Academy one year) winning this hypothetical race, and I'm hardly a gambling man.

Do you really think PD is going to hear what SOME of us have to say after this blunder? I don't think so. I know I wouldn't if I was the developer..

And what does Turbo have to do with the Hybrid? He's just not updating. So what is your point?

I updated because 1. I never bothered to hack the saved data, never knew about until I seen the new on GTP. Some of you can still get the same hp out of some of the cars not all the cars you hacked if you build them correctly. I’m not here to tell you how to build your stable, but you still can have fun if you do it right.

Seasonals are hardly 'grinding' as we know it, and with the PP difference bonus they can rack you up twenty million in less than twenty races. It's not like A-spec used to be with a far smaller payout. I did that the first time around, took me ten months to clear level 40 for both modes. Second time around I did it in just over four months using seasonals as well.

There are so many of them up there now that no one would need to repeat any of them more frequently than once a week; not unless they were particularly fussy about which ones they wanted to do.

 

[Tornado]

??.. Why would your bring them into this? This is your tiff.

I dunno. Why would I bring up 3 members of the site staff who always post using specific font colors in response to a member implying he judges a post differently because it was written in a specific font color?

Do you really think PD is going to hear what SOME of us have to say after this blunder? I don't think so. I know I wouldn't if I was the developer..

No I don't, which was kind of the point. PD don't communicate, and when they respond to something they don't do it consistently nor do they explain why they did it the way they did. That is their reputation, small reference pools or not, and the way that the hybrid issue was handled goes back to that.

And what does Turbo have to do with the Hybrid? He's just not updating. So what is your point?

You think Fulch is the first member the make the vague implication that the people who were hybriding were doing it to make up some deficiency with their driving? Because he wasn't, and R1600 already joked about it himself.

 

[LVracerGT]

So you'd rather buy the cars than play the game to get them? I'm sorry, but did you know what the GT series is about before you got the game?

Some people have had the game for quite a while, and have played through the game already, like myself. Beyond that, it's a way around the endless grinding PD forces you to go through to earn credits and cars in GT.

There are games for you boys to muck with and mod. GT5 is not one of them , you are just gonna have to accept that its not welcome in this game. Try Rfactor on PC. This game is open to modders and you can mod and poke and prod all you want , then release your creation for the community to try. Sound good ? Leave GT5 alone and let it be the basic fair level racing ground that it is. There are avenues for you boys , you have just taken a wrong turn.

Has it ever crossed your mind that some people don't have $500-$1000 to build a gaming computer to play PC sims? Not to mention a wheel if they don't already have one. I used to play PC sims, rFactor, GTR2, iRacing, the lot. My computer became outdated and I haven't had the funds to build a new gaming computer. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat.

I've also built mods for GTR2 and rFactor, and there is a huge amount of learning involved that unless you know someone who is willing to spend the time showing you the ropes is next to impossible to learn on your own. It's not as easy as typing a few words on a forum as you have so eagerly done. The only wrong turn in this tread is the wrong turn your thought process took.

PD ruined THEIR reputation with the HYBRIDING community ????? are you seriously that delusional ????

PD has been ruining their reputation since GT5 launched. Taking this away from the community is just another notch in their belt.

Thats some pretty text Tornado , I take you way more seriously now. To think that the Hybriding communitys reputation is anything in comparrison to PD reputation , is delusional.

I see a "banned" next to your screen name in the near future. Keep it up 👍

 

[oink83]

I'v seen "endless credit grinding" come up as an arguement against GT5 quite a few times here. Am I playing a totally different game to everyone else? I mean, you can make 5mil easily in about 15 minutes on a seasonal event. Where is all this grinding happening?

I mean, sure when the game first came out a few years back, the credits didn't flow so smoothly, but it hasn't been that way for quite some time. I'm legitimately confused in regards to needing to grind for credits.

I can make 100,000,000,000,000,000 credits by one click on my mouse too.

I think we are definitely playing the same game oink - I do wonder about some of the others though judging by what they say...

 

[oink83]

Ok, but not all of us cheat. My point still stands, even strengthened by what you have said. Credits are not a commodity in this game and haven't been for a long time. Anyone? Credit grinding?

 

[MeanElf]

I have the opposite problem really, I'm always at the limit with nothing really to spend it on for a long time now, especially after finally netting an ellusive 2J recently. It's why I'm keen for GT6.

 

[LVracerGT]

Ok, but not all of us cheat. My point still stands, even strengthened by what you have said. Credits are not a commodity in this game and haven't been for a long time. Anyone? Credit grinding?

What I was saying is that a lot of us have already played through the game. The seasonals are a way of quick credits, yes. But for those of us that are just looking to create now even seasonals are annoying. It's much easier to click the credits or gift ourselves any car to create what we are after. One thing I'm going to do tonight is create the 991 GT3 by taking the RUF RGT and putting the 458 trans in it and doing engine builds to get the HP and 9000 rpm redline.

If I didn't already have an RGT, I'd have to endlessly grind the UCD, or find someone who has one to trade. Instead, a few clicks and I'm there. So now I have time to do other things later than spend the entire evening looking for one car to halfway simulate what I'm after, instead in just a few minutes I have almost exactly what I'm after.

 

[Zuel]

No I don't, which was kind of the point. PD don't communicate, and when they respond to something they don't do it consistently nor do they explain why they did it the way they did. That is their reputation, small reference pools or not, and the way that the hybrid issue was handled goes back to that.

Yes, we all know to well PD doesn't communicate very well the the fan base for reasons unknown. Even though they talk communicate very well doesn't mean they don't hear what we ask for. They have gave us what we asked for WITHIN MEANS. As for the the other things we asked for they couldn't do so for many reasons and for the things that wear already in the game that wasn't unlock they felt and strongly felt we didn't need it, for what ever reason. Maybe because they seen how fast we can be from GT Prologue "Just a thought"

You think Fulch is the first member the make the vague implication that the people who were hybriding were doing it to make up some deficiency with their driving? Because he wasn't, and R1600 already joked about it himself.

No he's not, I for one think that the whole deal is lame and still do. Yes SOME people redone the code so they could bring real world cars to the track buy putting the motor with the right HP and TQ numbers. That could have been done a long time ago if people didn't start building all there cars to the max once GT5 first came out, then using the power limiter that was unlocked a few weeks after release to bring the cars more to a stable point.But I'm not here to say no one knows how to build here within GT5, remember it's a game.

I can understand why Turbo doesn't run in open lobbies and got sick of trying to start a racing league. I'm not going to comment on those reason, though some of you should be able to understand why.

Call it what you want. But i have done GT5 100% legit (A-Spec) even the 24 hour endurance races each in one day with a stock LMP car.

Also have done this on seven different PSN accounts. So cheater I am not. I am just goofing off on my latest profile.

And like I have said before I am on my 8th account doing the same thing

STEP TUNING! STEP TUNING IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER!

Give it a try you may learn something.. Even though I don't max out my cars then de-tune to get them to compete in a locked PP class. All the cars that I tuned too class run at 100% power either with a stage 1,2 or 3 weight reduction has competed on par, above or below. And when I see that some of MY STEPPED tuned cars out running some of these maxed out cars not all just some put a great bid smile on my face. I'm hoping to run into you one day myself.

I'm aware of the mythical concept of "not abusing the power limiter so much that it makes your car slower," thanks.
