What happened to the gymkhana stunt arena that the Sony boss mentioned?

I don't think that was ever really confirmed. We never heard of it again and we never saw any actual footage (unlike the Kart race track at Siena).Wax Free Vanilla said:

We need Porsche in GT5
Seems the LFA is an overengineered piece op crap. GTR is a monster.
But which car is the most fun to drive?

I hope they have it at E3, the hidden one ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1-5K2limJk ) in the psp version of GT is good fun. It just needs to be bigger and the ability to drop objects on the track. Would be awesome if it became part of the course maker.

Motorcycles:

"few minor things" lol
- Eiger theme for the track generator is never gonna work. They'd have to change the whole system.

This was one of the things I thought they'd implement in conjunction with Course Maker. Generate your own point-to-point rally stages in the seven different environments, then save them as a WRC season.Wax Free Vanilla said:
Although of course if they did this, the AI would need an colossal, monumental upgrade. The AI on the rally stages was just utterly embarrassing.

The most confusing part is that the system is already there. GT Rally special events are Point to Point and randomly generated oO

You know that not all Porsches are RR, right? And I'm not even referring to the AWD, erm, SKUs (I refuse to call those Porsche 'models').brotkasten said:They only need to get one Porsche in the game. If you have one, you have all of them.

Okay, I've found myself staging drag races on the Top Gear Track with cars that have similar power-to-weight. Hahaha.
It's actually quite a lot of fun. I wish people would do this online with me.
RUN WHAT YOU BRING, BITCHES!

SSR7 is the right place for that. Lots of people do it online.

I didn't know people drag on SSR7. That's awesome. I'll definitely look for those matches.

Indy Road is great for 1/4 mile, Top gear is great for 1/2 mile (I think, am not too sure) and SSR7 is for 1 mile up. Tsukuba and Autumn ring are favorites for Drifting. I think PD should make specific tracks for this kinds of Races, E.x 1/4 mile Track, 1/2 mile drag track, and a mile track. It should make for some fun online drag's.

That probably means till Japan gets PSN. :/
You don't think GT NGP is a lock for E3? Sony already have Uncharted, Killzone, plus a few others already running on the device, so it would be pretty strange if they didn't have GT good to go.
In any case though, GT has always been at E3 in some capacity or another, even if it's just a trailer, so we're going to get something GT related one way or another. Let's just hope it's worth our time.

Not to beat an already dead, degrading and decomposing horse to death, but really, it needs a massive online overhaul, at least.
The black screen of death is happening more and more these days for online races, and that irritating thing when someone pauses in the middle of the race and the car just stays in the middle of the track...that irritates the hell out of me.
We also need the option to select "favourite" lobbies for an online session so we don't have to constantly refresh the lobby page; we need a mute all button so I don't have to manually mute all 15 other people; we need a country flag on the member list so I can see what country the participants are in before I enter a lobby, only to find out it's a country specific lobby and I get kicked out, or find it's full of people from all over the world, meaning the lag is going to be crazy.
And that's just the basic stuff...

You know what would be a great way to fix GT5? Show a trailer at E3 with all the improvements, awesome new premium tracks like Spa and Bathurst, new premium cars like the HSV, logos of new A-Spec events and then at the end of a trailer: Gran Turismo

Make it happen, PD!

I'm quite puzzled at the lack of DLC. It's like throwing money away.

Kaz thinks DLC makes his game look incomplete. Oh, the irony ...Lagspike_exe said:
I'm sure Kaz said the retail version of GT5 will be the platform they build upon, meaning he is open to DLC and adding content to GT5.brotkasten said:
One feature I would love to have is some sort of theater mode so we can make trailers and record footage from races outside of the stock replay cameras.
I look back at some of the GT5 trailers that were released and I'm still blown away by a lot of it.
This is probably the best trailer I've seen for a racing game

Sure, it's old, but I doubt his opinion on DLC changed that much.Dibbz said:
Dibbz said:
Their cinematics department is ridiculously good. I'm hoping for some E3 announcements just to see some new stuff from them. That E3 one and the Red Bull Horse Power trailer are among my favourite video game trailers ever.
edit: going in with very low expectations though. After the long wait, to me it still feels like GT5 came out yesterday. I won't exactly be upset if they don't show up at all at the conference. TGS seems more likely.

Kaz then: ""The launch of the game isn't a start, we are releasing the full game""
Kaz at TGS 20010 "This is just the start!"
I just don't see it happening. Even if it's paid, you're just giving people a reason not to upgrade to GT6 if you offer Spa, Bathurst et al and a bunch of premium cars as DLC.Dibbz said:
It's the classic Apple upgrade model. You've got to hold stuff back for people to buy the next version. If you just offer it in GT5, it'll be good enough for some people and they won't bother upgrading.
There is still plenty they can offer in GT6.
Say we get a few tracks and a new car series (DTM, Retro race car pack) or something like that GT6 could still have new features such as day/night/weather for every track, improved damage and collisions, revamped A-Spec and online without needing to have a massive amount of new content for people to jump over to GT6.
It falls in line with GT5 being a platform they will build upon. GT5 can have content added but GT6 can bring totally new features to the game.

Well whether it's DLC or GT6, whichever gets me more GT content sooner is the one I'll take.
My thought is:
1) You would think this game would be a DLC goldmine. Premium cars at $2.99 a pop? I know I'd buy a few. And a full-fledged track? If it was the real deal I could see spending in the $5-8 range for something. If in an update they added custom races and custom tournaments? A sort of custom A-Spec? Fuck yeah I'd scoop tracks at $8. A few.
2) Assuming 1, you'd think we'd already have some DLC by now to sort of get the ball rolling, or even just to gauge interest. That we've had nothing makes me think there isn't going to be any. (Dying to be wrong about this, obviously.)

I think - I do not know for sure - that DLC will happen at some point, but it remains to be seen will it be some kind of "Spec II" form or *classic* content-based DLC.
Main presumption comes from the fact we already know few real-life cars have been independently announced as possible GT5 DLC. Toyota FT-86 Spec II and G Sports Concept were already premiered through GT5 assets while new BMW Series 1 coupe was also announced in late 2010 on unofficial forum as "being offered in the near future as a special download for Gran Turismo 5."
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8470270&postcount=1
Also, recent discovery highlighted existence of some *old-school* track logos on official part of GT web related to Remote Races, as delivered on GTPlanet:
http://www.gtplanet.net/24-new-track-logos-discovered-on-gran-turismo-5-website/
Without going into territory of rumors and such, all above indicates that on some point we will be granted with some form of DLC.
I hope upcoming days will reveal what and when will it happen.
