Gran Turismo 5 Spec II |OT| - We Love DLC!

- Start date
Thank you guys, I am glad you liked it!
Yes, I was hoping for some GAF coverage of the anniversary, even planned to do it myself but I didn't have time - and to be honest, I was dead certain SolidSnake or Murph will do it here for the frontpage.
The greatest selling PS exclusive celebrates 2 crazy milestones - 15 years anniversary and almost 70 million games sold and nobody gives a damn. Not even US/EU playstation blogs. Unbelievable. There is really something strange going on at Sonylands.
Here is a great intro-mix video that GTPlanet's Racecar did yesterday for the Anniversary, check it if you are interested and give man some likes, he will be thankful: http://youtu.be/W-qpCGo2Jx0

Infamous original GTHD Classic&Premium "microtransactions" announcement (2005)
I wish that they would've gone through with that. It was very forward thinking of them, especially when you look at what's going on in the industry now. The type of model that they were looking to use is something that's quite big and profitable now.
Updated the game to 2.09 and saw the new seasonals and "half-price" online store, and... just didn't have the will to grind 2million credits for the later half-price cars.
I think it's because there's no fast-high-payout and the grind kinda killed the game for me, so them wanting me to grind for higher-end cars is a little ugh. I mean 1mill, sure. But 2million a pop for like 5-6 of the online cars is a little too rich for my blood.
I mean since they nerfed Like the Wind Indy's payout, I haven't heard much about a new fast and decent paying race to grind with a reasonable payout.

I wish they didn't. Being the sucker that I am I would have probably ended up paying $1000 for the game.
Besides, Kaz hated that model.
Did he, though? Fans everywhere went ape shit when they showed that DLC model so maybe he backed out because of that reaction.

So I've uninstalled GT5 and deleted the game data for more space. If I were to install GT5 again, will I have to download those huge patches again?

Yes! That's the price you pay for uninstalling GT5!

Waiting for the HDD install again was worse. I was forced to at one point because the disc stopped booting
Somehow it's ok again now, I think the automatic update option in PSN+ did all the updates for me after I'd reinstalled the game offline.flipswitch

Just tried it, you're right. I feel sorry for anyone who picks up this game and expects to play it straight away

Unless you got one of the compilations. GT5 XL already have most of the patches.

Also, you just lost all your photos and replays.
PS4 really needs an ability to store patches for uninstalled games.

GT5 running on a TV and GT PSP running in a Vita

The Vita could come in handy when using the paintshop, livery & track creators in GT6. I will be forced to buy one if they go all out and support it.

Did people ever get GT5 working through remove play on a CFW ps3?

So i thought I would dust of the cobwebs and pop this in as it had been a while. Anyway after 8 updates and many hours downloading them I am greated to a black screen with the message on my tv 'mode not supported' when i try and load this up. WTF! How do I fix this? I get to the screen where the piano piece starts gettin played with the earth in the background and then my pic cuts out.
Edit, problem fixed the game went into 3d mode which i do run on my projector but dont have on my tv. Thought you could only change 3d in options!

You're pretty good
decide to buy (again) GTPSP because I needed some GT experience until the real GT vita and it feels so good to drive at midfield, seoul, cita di aria, swiss alp, tahiti maze ...

Running with a R34 in nurb tons of hours in PSP helped a lot
I tried to play GT PSP after playing GT5 and unfortunately isn't the same thing. The physics are very different

Second one looks more like a tv broadcast, but I like the first one better.

Hard to judge since they don't start at the same time in for me. Don't know how I could fix that
But something else - I know this is not GT5 related but I was feeling nostalgic after popping in GT3 a few days ago and checked out some older trailers from GT3/4. Is there some higher res version of this trailer somewhere? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0vCG0sX7nQ
I remember being blown away by that. Those hand movements were so awesome. And also unrelated - GT3 wet tracks look better than 4 for some reason. To me atleast.
Uch, so many tracks in all those trailers that I miss in GT5. Here's hoping for GT6! That test course in GT3 was so amazing.

yeah GT PSP physics is completely outdated compared to GT5 but it remains the best sim on handheld
best trailer ever dude I love it so much.
so many track like Honkong but GT3 is still my favorite game in the series

On the 13th Chevrolet will officially unveil the new C7, does that mean we should be expecting an update around then?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was already hidden on the previous update waiting to be revealed.

Did someone in GTPlanet already discovered this car messing the game files?

Possible, but I thought they might want to keep it away from potential hackers, even though there's been quite a few leaks since.

I am posting this here, hoping for an answer.
In a replay, you can look backwards, but it seems impossible to look sideways, lets say, left or right. Am I missing something?
Trying to make a replay with al views and stitching them together....
Is there a trick to it, or is it not possible? Anyone?!

Yeah, it's not possible when watching back a saved replay or from the race menu where you click the replay button.
However, it's possible right after a race is over (offline only), usually after the race is over or you exit during the race the replay starts automatically, in that replay mode you can look left and right and pressing the triangle buttons zooms into the car, bascially the same replay mode as in Prologue.
Thanks very much! Going to try this, and show you the results when finished!
It might only be possible to do two screens then, instead of three?!
I sorely missed Midfield in GT5. I used to stay up 'til morning/dawn trying to squeeze every last fraction of a second in my attempt to beat out my friend's record and doing my own head to head time attacks. Nailing that last turn before the uphill toward the long straight was super satisfying. It's such a simple looking track, but there were so many instances to of learning the true and proper line to take coupled with tuning the car to take advantage of every little discovery.
Chasing sub minute times on there was awesome. Such a great track.
I never understood why they didn't allow for "Classic" and "Advanced" replays. Well, just another for the long list.
