False information. Go ahead, try it.

copy to another user: doesn't work
copy to USB-stick then use that with another user: doesn't work

So it's confirmed your save is tied to your PSN account?

Awesome news if true.

Your garage has been tweaked. It now stays on whatever you left sort by on eg, max power, country etc. instead of date acquired. If you exit out of gt life though it defaults to make, until you change it again.

ohgosh ohgosh ohgosh

I don't want to put a damper on things, but basically if your PS3 is not net connected, you get a shit game. I don't want the patches to not happen, but I hope they keep the discs in retail updated.

There is still no save feature in championships.

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

By the end of the OMGOMGOMG, GAF better come up with the best XP/race and money/race ratio for this update! :lol :lol

 

[Metalmurphy]

Just read everything! HOLYSHIT!


They basically added pretty much every single thing that we wanted... AND THEN SOME!



LOVE YOU KAZ!

Seasonal events sounds like a fantastic idea!
Mechanical damage for offline races? FINALLY!
Online XP and credits? ZOMG!
No HUD? NURBURGRING AT NIGHT JUST GOT SHIT LOADS MORE IMMERSIVE!

That's a downer I hope they patch it in soon, that and endurance race saving.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

OMGOMGOMG!

 

[CozMick]

Is the online credits/XP for the seasonal events only?

 

[Unknown One]

The extra Prizemoney in A and B-spec only works until the end of January 2011 (ingame releasenotes).

The extra prize money a holiday bonus?

 

[h3ro]

HEAR ATTACK!

Anyone who regularly plays their PS3 is not not going to have the internet. Just about every household in the world has the internet. This isn't the 90s anymore.

i wouldn't be surprised if they cycle in more events, like in GT5P, hopefully we can finally use the Kubbelwagon for something :lol

 

[brentech]

Was just reading through some of the seasonal events. Wasn't expecting that at all. Great money and XP from some fairly simple additions.

Also requires the driving of certain cars which I'm all for personally. Was about 5 or 6 events in each of the 3 categories. This patch is the tits.


edit: Also, the online dealership simply states "Will update at random intervals" or something to that extent. I'm wondering if all the same cars are available to everyone at the same time? Simple swap in for a community manager.

Wat? oO




Btw, I can't drift even if my life depended on it. Any good tutorials?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Wat? oO

It's basically like Uncharted or some shooters that do a 2X's weekend's for XP.

Not true at all. I'll refrain from posting anecdotes, but I'd say the a solid portion of PS3s and 360s have no internet connections.

 

[avaya]

GT-R race on SS5 for 1million DOLLAR

100k xp

OH YES. OH YES.

 

[h3ro]

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Double XP weekend sounds nice! Seasonal XP? They really want me to celebrate Christmas at home, don't they?! :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

GT-R race on SS5 for 1million DOLLAR

100k xp

OH YES. OH YES.

I'm guessing that these are 1 time events or else you'll be able to abuse the hell out of them.

 

[-Amon-]

Things are looking soooo bright now

 

[Toxa]

I just bought the CLK Touring Car (DTM) in the online dealership

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I'm guessing that these are 3 hour events or else you'll be able to abuse the hell out of them.

fixed?

 

[Unknown One]

While there is a lot of people with internet access these days there is still a lot without broadband.

markyboyuk New Member Online Now!
Just updated and noticed that now when starting a race in Arcade mode (Eiger Nordwand) the spectators have gone!.
The reason I tried that track is that I remember the shadows looking particularly bad/flickery on the spectators and so I wanted to see if this update had improved matters - but the spectators have gone completely!

Not that this bothers me but I wonder what else has gone from the rest of the game presumably in an effort to improve frame rate/screen tear issues.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/28058/Study_PS3_Has_Highest_Percentage_Of_Connected_Consoles.php

Seventy-eight percent of PS3 users have the console connected to the internet, while Xbox 360 has 73 percent and Wii has 54 percent, according to Diffusion Group director of research Michael Greeson.

I don't have numbers for the rest of the world but I imagine it is lower than that in most places. So at least 1 in 5 have never connected it to the net, and a percentage of those that have will not have a good enough connection or a large enough download limit to make the patches a viable thing.

I am glad the patches are coming, but PD should have released a finished game.

wait for the GT5 GOTY Edition

Indeed.

 

[Metalmurphy]

.

I liked those spectators. I liked how they covered their face if I crashed near them... like that would help. :lol


If it improves performance, I'm all for it... if not... Great loss.

 

[darkwing]

finally i can use my pimped out Fiat 500 :lol

Full patch notes

Update Notice (1.05)

A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:

Seasonal Events
[Seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team. In these events, all participants under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players around the world.

Online Dealership
An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the screen. In here you will find popular and rare used cars. You might just come across that one car you've always been looking for, that you haven't been able to find in the used car dealership.

Online Race Rewards and Experience
When you complete a race in the open lobby or my lounge, you will now gain rewards and experience points. Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you'll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in GT Life.

Driving Distance and Number of wins in Online Races
The driving distance and number of wins you achieve when you complete a race in Open lobby or My lounge will now affect your stats in Profile and the Garage. Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within GT Life

Improved Rewards
The rewards for winning races in Both A-Spec and B-Spec in GT mode- GT Life have been increased for a limited time only. This applies until the end of January 2011. This is a great chance for those who were previously have difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.

Race Information Display
Is now available in the Start-Quick Options. You can also see this in Race Display in Options.

Save Data Backup
You can now copy and restore your save data. For details please refer to the in-game Manual

Personal BGM (menu)
From [options]-[hardware]-[Audio], it is now possible to set the Personal BGM (menu). This can also be accessed from the Music Library within GT Mode.

Car Name Change
The official name of the "Red Bull X1" has been changed to "Red Bull X2010"

Integration within the website
THe main features within GT Mode - Community can now be accessed through the "Gran-Turismo.com Official Website.

Important Note
We have made improvements to the Log within GT Mode - Community section,
in order to make its operation more stable. Please note that the information that was here before the update has been reset.

So can anyone confirm if WW leaderboards are in?

Mine was at 88% and internet tanked, so had to restart again from start >:

 

[gutterboy44]

Wonder how good the regular online XP and Cr. payout is. Anyone race yet?

 

[Unknown One]

I liked those spectators. I liked how they covered their face if I crashed near them... like that would help. :lol

I don't. They look like shit :lol

So no transmission fix ehh? Hopefully people bitch about that so Kaz can fix it next time. Most likely people won't because most people don't tweak settings at all.
