You´re lucky. I´m having problems with my internet connection, it disconnects for seconds and i can´t update GT5 for the last two months. Had to format HD before. I can´t really update because of the way the updates are downloaded.
I miss GT5, but it´s either offline spec 1 GT or just wait for PS4 GT for me.

"Standard cars which have been upgraded to Premium models, such as the Jaguar XJR9, are differentiated with a _std prefix in their file name. He has noted that two cars, the Nissan R92CP and Bentley Speed 8 Race Car, include this prefix, suggesting they are or were scheduled to be updated in the game.!"
YES PLEASE!

They are probably saving stuff for GT5. Some of those stuff mentioned seem like they'd be hard to implement with current hardware constraints.

Spec 3.0, believe!

Thanks for your offer sir but I'm not sure it'll work here in Denmark. I'm buying a used Driving Force Pro tomorrow but I still want to find an AC adapter for my own.
I'm so excited to start GT5. I remember doing real good in Prologue and have been playing the series since the first one.

That Sorg has cracked the GT.VOL encryption?
Hoping PC sim modders get in on this - new physics, sounds, tracks and cars before GT6 Prologue would be amazing.

watching that GT Vision trailer and hearing all those real world sampled car sounds makes me cringe everytime
Holy crap how did I miss this? What is this trickery?

Hah...that's quite a lot of hidden content waiting to be given to us. The mod list is what strikes me most.

Strange that the X2010 JP Flag Color was never released, I assume it was meant to be sold as DLC with the proceeds going to charity.
Maybe it wasn't released because the DLC system was implemented too late?

All of those *tuning* things are just copy/paste of one existing in GT4 system with exception of "Sport Super Soft tyres".
Every each of those *upgrades* was more-less available in GT4 and they are probably just a rudimental part of the tuning engine that was imported to GT5.
Fuck that shit Vanilla. Seriously. Last thing GT community needs is altered content by minority of people with modded consoles. It would destroy online and completely ruin the balance in the already problematic system thanx to Racing Soft compound and crazyness called Power Limiter. Especially in recent chain of events that allows moded consoles to take full advantage of going online without problems.
Background-modding should stay out of the GT for the sake of community balance forever. Having closely closed system is the main advantage for games such as GT. *Opening* it on forceful way will inevitably destroy everything.

All of that seems like it would be substantial enough to justify calling it Spec 3. I could see that being the final update for GT5 (aside from the usual Seasonal Events), which would allow PD to devote all of their resources to GT6.

So I just bought that new NSX and got the new prototype Corvette and the game gets stuck on the opening loading screen. I haven't played the game in some months and don't know what to do. halp

I've had this happen almost every time before but it always booted on the second try. It stopped happening after the last update though.

Is the GT5 Special Event: Grand Tour - Tuscan Night Race still impossible, because I just recently brought the game again with my new ps3 and have to start all over again and I remember they updated the track which made that event impossible to win. I haven't been keeping up with the updates so is it still impossible?

It's never been impossible, just very hard.
And still is.
And still is.

Sales numbers updated since november, series at 68M and GT5 at 9.19 million.
Sales numbers updated since november, series at 68M and GT5 at 9.19 million.
They were updated to this values at November 14th AFAIK? At Nov 5th there was initial data with small mistake in totals that was corrected a week later at this numbers.
Nonetheless, a great numbers. GT5 will probably never reach the numbers of GT4 and behemoth as GT3 but it will probably catch 10 million once PD update sales with European and just announced Asian "Academy Versions" that came at market just few days after the total used for this lists (September 2012).
Of course, with GT5: Prologue added, GT5 tops GT4 (with added both GT Concept and GT4: Prologue), but it still does not top insane numbers of GT3.
But GT6... that could be a totally different story one day. Time will tell.

GT6 on PS4 trailer.
You know you want this!
Fuck the Vita, PD doesn´t need to spend time on this, let another dev make one version if that´s the case.
Would be nice to hear something about GT6... i know they don´t want to announce in advance again, but if it may come in 2014, then we should get a sneak peak by now.
Amar, do you know anything about the series future? We could use some winds once again.

I wonder if any other division of Sony will acknowledge GT 15th anniversary? I'm gonna guess no.

This reminds me that 15 years ago me and a real good friend of mine spent all new year party playing our just arrived japanese import copies of Gran Turismo while our girlfriends were literally mad at us.
Good memories.
There was that small poem two months ago, I have nothing more than that, really.
There will be a great party in Japan, but EU and US will probably just do a commemorative pieces on blogs and such. I still hold my breath for some crazy Anniversary Collectors Edition, but it will probably be a short breath.
Frankly speaking, that would come out of nowhere.
Good memories indeed.

Same here, sorta.
GT1 I bought because I remembered the print ads in PSM and EGM were basically the game's car list with the actual models displayed on the ad and it blew me away. It was so many damn cars, I had to own the game.
I was in for a huge surprise when it played nothing like Need for Speed II, though. Hahahaha.
Having forced SRF kills everything for me. Great idea, bit forced SRF is a joke.

damn that"s why it was so easy to drive in the rain
Yeah, was a nice step up in variety though, I hope they keep up with that. Perhaps one day they'll have a race with a grid instead of an artificially spread out rolling start :/
Old High Speed Ring was such a great track.

I still have my original imported JAP Gran Turismo, cost me £60 back in the day which obviously was a lot of money. I had the first edition PS1 where you could do the disc swap by keeping the disc button depressed.
