Support NeoGAF

[Goldrusher]

Was that a later update? I havent played it since launch and I dont remember it having that feature.

Yeah, an update.
You can now choose a car right before a race and even buy parts for it. Even in the pre-race menu (with the location already "live" in the background) you can buy parts for your car.

 

[Kenshin001]

Japanese Studios are pretty behind in all the 'community' side of things.
So i respect Kaz trying to change that but i completely agree with you, PD needs a full time Community Manager.

ALL HAIL KING KAZ

Yet both Kaz and Shuhei Yoshida are savvy enough to use Twitter. Someone should maybe drop a hint to them it'd be a good idea.

 

[amar212]

fucking finally!

I raise you for this good sir.

It just took 5 damn years.. Thank you Kaz

 

[Auto_aim1]

Kaz has been giving out info on what's gonna come with the update:

1. Simplified interior view added to all standard cars.
2. User control of the weather change feature.
3. Added a setting sheet feature allowing you to save multiple car settings...
4. Spec 2.0 Opening movie
5. Improved UI response and usability
6. Replay front forward/rewind
7. Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
8. Expanded online lounge features (Narrowing down car types, shuffle races)...

;-; I love Kaz.

 

[brotkasten]

Damn, this is hardcore. Hey devs, look! This is how it's done.

edit: ehhh, I'm stupid and can't type right now.

Anyway, this is not a good example for other devs and not how it should be done.

 

[LiK]

I'm playing v1.0 right now and it gives me the option to go to my garage and select a suitable car for that event, if it's not selected.

Oh, I mean automatically just put me into the car and start the race instead of looking for it. Guess it was never implemented.

 

[Betta Lines]

Great, but that doesn't fix the LOADING LOADING LOADING LOADING.

I think the key word in there was 'response'. I'm assuming the loading is going to improve, at least between certain screens (the game shouldn't need to load between 2D pages).

 

[gutterboy44]

Ideally this interaction of dev and users should have taken place before the game was launched. Obviously a lot of these changes couldn't have been foreseen but, mid eduro saves and FFW and RWD in replays will be touted as a top priority by any proper GT fan. Glad they are here. Lets hope the DLC is good!

 

[LiK]

Yeah, an update.
You can now choose a car right before a race and even buy parts for it. Even in the pre-race menu (with the location already "live" in the background) you can buy parts for your car.

Hmm, I see. I just did a fresh install of GT5 on a new PS3 and updated it. Guess I'll wait for his update before diving back in.

 

[Betta Lines]

There was '...'


I want MOAR Kaz.

 

[tusken77]

An avalanche of info!

 

[Betta Lines]

I'd call it more like a snow drift. But I guess for PD this is quite fast. ¬_¬

 

[Dibbz]

Keeps on delivering. This is amazing.

 

[pseudocaesar]

7. Mid-race save feature for endurance races.

 

[herod]

I wonder how long it takes to go from a vanilla GT5 game disc to a fully installed and patched instance of the game on an average broadband connection.

 

[tusken77]

I'd call it more like a snow drift. But I guess for PD this is quite fast. ¬_¬

Ha, true. I'm just caught up in the moment.

 

[Dead Man]

Should've been in day one, but I'll take it.



Sure, I'll take it.



Shorter? All they need is the PD Earth and a small bit of the car manufacturing bit. I love GT5's opening, but it's way too long to see more than a few times.



Great, but that doesn't fix the LOADING LOADING LOADING LOADING.



If I can skip by frame, great. Makes taking pictures easier.



Should've been in day 1.



You see this, DICE? This is HOW YOU DO GAME FINDING. None of this matchmaking and battlelog bullshit.

No new cars. No Eclipse Premium interior.

Yeah, all good stuff, but nothing so far that shouldn't or couldn't have been there from the start.

/bitter, jaded, bastard

7. Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
8. Expanded online lounge features (Narrowing down car types, shuffle races)...

Finally!

 

[LiK]

I wonder how long it takes to go from a vanilla GT5 game disc to a fully installed and patched instance of the game on an average broadband connection.

Fresh install of game plus updates that are out right now took me an hour+. Most of the time was the optional install.

 

[gutterboy44]

The mid race save feature is huge because people can now experience the jaw dropping thrill of driving into and out of the night at The Ring. No game has ever capture that experience like GT5 did. Ohhhhhh giddy about completing the 24 hour races in some sessions! Oh GT5, you left be bruised and bleeding from the anus from the decades of rape, but I love you and can never leave you.

New 2011 NASCARS...uh ok. Add fucking Watkins Glen mother fucka!!

 

[Loudninja]

Another tweet.

 

[brotkasten]

@Kaz_Yamauchi: 11. Added a “NASCAR Pit Scene” stage to Photo Travel / 12. Added eleven 2011 model NASCAR cars...

Yes, more premium cars!

Spoiler

11. Added a “NASCAR Pit Scene” stage to Photo Travel / 12. Added eleven 2011 model NASCAR cars...

Fucking hell, Polyphony delivering.

Wish they'd put proper NASCAR flags in though.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Yeah baby!!!!

Wow eleven Nascar premiums and a new photo travel scene?? Keep it coming Kaazzzzzzz

 

[amar212]

11. New NASCAR scene for Photo Travel
12. New eleven (11) NASCAR models for 2011 Season

 

[TheSeks]

Yeah, all good stuff, but nothing so far that shouldn't or couldn't have been there from the start.

/bitter, jaded, bastard

And I don't disagree.

 

[pseudocaesar]

Fuck its got me all excited to get back into the game, but I have to wait. Its like waiting for release day all over again argh

 

[Toxa]

c'mon now supegt 2010-2011 ?

bike ?

 

[sublimit]

Great day for Gran Turismo fans.

 

[lowrider007]

I haven't played this game for a while but do we have cockpit eye level hood view for standard cars now?

 

[SolidSnakex]

11. Added a “NASCAR Pit Scene” stage to Photo Travel / 12. Added eleven 2011 model NASCAR cars...

 

[gutterboy44]

I would shit myself inside out of Watkins Glen NASCAR/IRL configurations was DLC.

 

[LiK]

@Kaz_Yamauchi: 11. Added a “NASCAR Pit Scene” stage to Photo Travel / 12. Added eleven 2011 model NASCAR cars...

Yes, more premium cars!

lol, sorry

Wish there was a way to patch out Jeff Gordon voice.

 

[offshore]

This is like October 2010 all over again...

 

[Dibbz]

8. Expanded online lounge features

This is great. Too many times you try to make a room for specific class of cars and people will bring in other classes. Would be great to be able to select exactly which cars you would allow into the room.

 

[CozMick]

More NASCAR, FUCK YEAH!

 

[tusken77]

Up to update 12 now. Keep it coming, Kaz!

 

[TheSeks]

Wish there was a way to patch out Jeff Gordon voice.

Remember, the car is heavy. It requires a gentle touch.

Mess up somewhere?

 

[brotkasten]

Yeah, all good stuff, but nothing so far that shouldn't or couldn't have been there from the start.

/bitter, jaded, bastard

Like I said in the other thread, took them a year to finish the game.

I'd even say that I'd rather want all this and more content in GT6 for the PS3 than getting a GT5.5. But I'm probably alone with that.

 

[LiK]

I suck at Nascar challenges

 

[Auto_aim1]

I wonder how long it takes to go from a vanilla GT5 game disc to a fully installed and patched instance of the game on an average broadband connection.

It'll take a while lol. Actually, I'll never uninstall the GT5 game data from my PS3 EVER. Not because it's annoying or something but because it's the game of the forever. Even though the vanilla version was a mess, I ended up spending 500 + hrs on the game.

 

[sublimit]

Indeed.In fact i thought this was a no brainer so i was surprised when i saw that i couldn't arrange exactly the type of races i wanted.

 

[Metalmurphy]

I swear to god, some times i feel like Kaz activly browses gaf, we had discussions about pretty much everything they're delivering...


Well, except 2011 NASCAR cars.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

OH MAH.... GAWD...

I'm crying here. INTERIOR VIEW FOR STANDARDS... YES!

Spec III will have increased damage sensitivity!

BOOK IT

 

[Auto_aim1]

I think it's coz of GT Planet. They were the ones whining a lot about the standard cars. But damn, my Minolta just got more awesomer. I just wish PD gives us a premium model of that car.

 

[test_account]

Damn, that is a nice update indeed! I wonder if the interior for standard cars is some more standard thing for all cars, or if the interior is actually representative for the actual car, just that it isnt that detailed as the premium cars.

 

[Saiyar]

So this is getting released a week early?

 

[Metalmurphy]

I think it's coz of GT Planet. They were the ones whining a lot about the standard cars. But damn, my Minolta just got more awesomer. I just wish PD gives us a premium model of that car.

I'm talking about really specific things, like the avatars in Photo Travel.
