They're probably going to be removing some of the "Confirm" actions. That would speed up the menus. They've also said that they're worked on the loading.

It would be great if we could skip the animation when you buy a car.

I like those. I do that stuff so seldom compared to buying cars that none of them have ever bothered me. The car buying animation gets a bit grating though. They kind of fixed it in a patch some months ago so that the dialog screen pops up much earlier if you keep hitting x - you can get back to the menu even before the car turns the headlights on. It's still not optimal though.
offshore said:
I do not agree.
I agree how getting into GT Auto section could be faster - that is 5 seconds loading, but we became very spoiled I presume - but I am 100% against removing those animations.
They are part of the overall atmosphere where you're taking care of the real car and part of the unique Ownership/Maintenance philosophy of GT series.
Removing them would just ruin that atmosphere. You bought a car, wait for delivery. You want to paint it? wait for a second and enjoy in process. Want to RM-it? Wait for a second and enjoy in results that will come after the animation. Same for every" ownership/maintenance" animation.
I love those animations and I hope they'll expand them in the future. Since GT2 - when actual "days" become more prominent in the core-gameplay -I am wondering about the system where you can't really get your back back instantly. Like, if you want to do some tuning, you have to leave your car for a day-two (process-dependable) and come back to pick it up when those in-game days pass.
For GT5 you could get your car from carwash or oil change instantly, but if you want to do painting, a tuning of some part, some overhaul or RM process, you have to "leave" the car (game prompts you to choose another from the garage) and after some in-game days have passed (by racing races and such), you get your vehicle back from the process.
I am really a great fan of complete Ownership/Maintenance philosophy and would really love to see it drastically enhanced. Also, it is the most unique part of Gran Turismo series and it is really beautiful to enjoy in it if you accept it as a way to portray small-scale consequences of having a vehicle in the virtual form.

For some dumb reason, I like the painting animation, even though it's more suited for something like Mario Kart. It's probably because their's so little in terms of exterior customization that it makes me think, "well, at least there's the paint thing."

Seeing as the track pack will be paid DLC do you think we will get completely new tracks to the GT franchise, classics in HD or both? Personally I would love some classic tracks but I hope we get some new tracks.
Would also love PD to include night racing at Suzuka, Fuji, Monza or the Nurburgring GP circuit with an update, theres currently no race circuits ( apart from the lengthy le mans and full Nurburgring ) with night driving in GT.

I'm not saying they should take them out, but I find them annoying and I don't want to see and hear them every time.
Also, I have a hard time to feel any ownership for the cars in GT5, simply because I can not customize them enough. My old R32 was the only car in the game where I felt that I kinda owned it, because I spent some time tinkering with it. The menus, animations or the "atmosphere" had nothing to do with it.

I'm watching the Formula 1 race right now and let the PS3 update GT5 in the background and just when I turned around to see how far the updates are, the screen turned black. My controller still connects, but I don't see or hear anything.
Can someone hold my hand?
I had to remove the HDMI cable and plug it in again. Weird.

Not actually that important
How much time do I have to get the Red Bull still?
^
X1
EDIT:- BTW I was thinking today and is there some sort of exclusivity deal in place with Ferrari to say they are the only manufacturer in GT5 to have their F1 car? I mean I honestly do not see why we would not have a Red Bull by now and the only explanation I can think of is Ferrari got in first and said no other F1 cars are allowed in.
With the collaboration between PD and RB on the X1 it just screams out that they were not allowed to put their F1 cars into GT5 because Ferrari put a clause in their agreement saying so.

Sigh...
I guess PD will never get a shot at other F1 cars then. That license is apparently ridiculously expensive.

Codemasters had to negotiate for more than 15 million dollars per season when Sony declined continuation of Bernie generous "offer" to prolong the license in 2008.
I don't see a way to negotiate anything at this point, because from this January Bernie finally established the final move of his business career, greatest than all other he ever done, and he done many of crazy deals for his favor - Formula One World Championship Ltd. company took over the all commercial rights for the F1 sport for next 100 years from FIA.
Basically, Bernie - or better to say Slavica and her daughters Petra and Tamara with still unborn grandchildren - will be in control of the F1 sport for the next century as long as commercial rights are in question.
Basically:

More than 15m for the license? Sony was insane for even paying that to begin with. Do F1 games even sell enough to justify such a pricetag?
Anyway, I guess PD can continue to work with Red Bull in other ways. Couldn't they have Newey design a F1 car for them?
What with the update system here? I am trying to updates now before the Spec II update hit since it will most likely be huge.
so yeah I am trying to update, there are like 4 but every time after I download the first one( 380MB one) it give me error then instead of continue to other updates I return to download the damn first one, tried 6 times ( bye bye bandwidth cap) and every time the same damn thing.

The servers are being hit hard right now, so give it a few hours and then try again.

Coming back to the "feeling of ownership" or the lack of it in GT5.
As some of you know, I'm playing the game from the beginning, because my HDD crashed and I lost my save. I'm still pretty low in A-Spec, doing some races here and there, but I'm basically waiting for Spec II.
After some grind races, the '71 280Z finally showed up in the used car dealer.
"Yay, my favorite car for the Japanese classic races!", except that it's not "my" car.
This is how the car looks like
And this is how my car would look like
I can change the colors and put some airplane wing on the back, but that's it. And since it's only a standard car, I can't even change the damn rims, ffs! I thought I own the car? Buying cars in GT feels more like renting them for life.

I was hoping PD would have made the Gran Turismo Formula car a premium model, and then you can have colours that resemble the real F1 cars. Or if a livery editor was ever implemented someone can recreate the liveries

Is it possible for Polyphony Digital to give us an option that reduces the smoke effects so we don't have to do deal with the alpha garbage?
I was wondering if this is possible to do through a patch. I wonder if people have requested it through GT planet, since Kaz listens to them.

It's probably technically possible for them to do it. They could just replace it with GT5P's smoke effect.

Yep, the most important thing is that the ground work is there for them going into the PS4. They know how to do rain, snow and day/night cycles. I remember Kaz mentioning that they were having to experiment with doing all of those things for the PS3, so it obviously took them a lot of time to figure out how to do it. That won't be an issue next gen.

I agree with all of you, the groundwork is there. It's just that ambition can yield some nasty results sometimes.

If PS3 assets are pretty easy to use on Vita one would hope we get GT Vita within the next two years and that's assuming a very small number of the total staff work on the game. The track and car assets from GT5 could be used and all that would be left would be PD crafting out new A and B spec. Online also already seems pretty good.
Any guesses on what the cars and tracks will be in the DLC?
ahhh some "free" money at the vettel event, time to buy some of those LMP beauties at the online store
thanks!, i'm riding now in the +5 to +10 height area which does wonders for the handling on the ring for me. i can now actually touch the kerbs without spin or hectic correction maneuvers >_<
