So if theres no news about DLC next week, then its safe to assume no DLC this month then?
ugh no thanks, just play gt4 if you want ps2 graphics
Out of a track list of 38, PD remade just five tracks from GT4. It's going to take a decade for PD to rebuild every PS2 track, so they may as well just port them to GT5 for the interim. A point that has been repeated ad nauseam, and we still don't get why they haven't done it, nor why they didn't it in the first place.

Daaaaaamn, a friend of mine posted a blog entry about her trip through Kyoto and posted some pictures.
Reminds you of something?
PD really are gods. :bow

There are many tracks that are just up-res'd ports from GT4. Laguna Seca being the biggest offender.
i know its a joke, and adding more is just making it worse
I hope the voice speaking against this is much stronger. I don't mind driving around Laguna Seca at all. I wouldn't mind if other tracks are like that in the mean time.
A lot of the worst offending standards have been recently updated so they actually look quite good.
The main install is optional, I think there is a very small mandatory one then a large optional. But the patches are obviously mandatory if you want the latest and greatest. As to loading times, they are better than at launch, but they vary by track/race setup so its hard to say.
Overall, I would expect to install ~15GB for best performance, and loads from a few seconds to about 30 or so. Definitely in line with other games this generation.

Me too.
I'd rather have "low-res" tracks with GT5 effects, resolution, cars and driving model than, you know, nothing.

Whatever floats your boat, I simply miss SSR11 and Seattle a little too much.
In terms of track - whatever.
GT5 desperately needs more tracks. Although I still can't understand problem some vocal critics have with so called "standard tracks", I'd take any of the GT2/GT3/GT4/TT courses in the exact same quality presented in GT5.
I have no single problem with any of them, from Deep Forest, Trial Mountain, Grand Valley or Laguna Seca. They look great, you can drive car on them, surfaces feels great and replays are astonishing.
And since the beauty lies in the eye of beholder, I would welcome them all in my GT5 for any price PD think it will suffice, I don't care, take my money.
This. I don't care about the quality, just give me the tarmac.

I don't know man, I have a hard time playing on Laguna Seca because of how bad it looks, I'm not sure if I would want a bunch a low-res gt4 tracks.
It's pretty unlikely they'll be another GT4 track that looks as bad as Laguna Seca, so they should just chuck them all in to GT5 while we wait for next-gen and for PD to rebuild them.
But yeah, Laguna Seca is just... it's embarrassing how bad it looks.

Damn... I had forgotten how big the difference was.
Laguna Seca is fine. Trial Mountain looks worse, but it's an awesome awesome track so who cares.
I actually always like Laguna a lot, so I never paid much attention to how it looked. It's nice that some tracks are crazy snazzy, but I don't see how you can go "EWWW!" at the old ones either.
I fire up the PS2 & GT3 from time to time for the old tracks. It isn't so much the 480i that stands out as it is how arcade-like GT3 now feels. I want those old tracks under GT5's mechanics. I'm guessing its a lot more work than PD is willing to do. Which is a shame. Much as I love GT5, I've been a little bored with it the last few months. I wish they would hire a couple of DLC/track guys to bring up some old tracks while the main team works on GT6 or whatnot.

Regarding the DLC tracks, is it integrated into the "career mode" events, or it just for the arcade/multiplayer modes?

They some times use it for the Seasonals but nothing on A-spec/B-spec.
It would be nice if the game would replace various (over-used) tracks from the a/b-spec events with any dlc track you may own on a cycling system so you can run the exact same league again but have a different batch of tracks including DLC ones, may help make the standard game less boring.
Also the insane financial rewards for the seasonals has pretty much killed off any point of the a/b-spec game anyway and that needs addressing.

I'll take a port of SSR5 wet
GT3 still looks great
Well they're definitely working on some of the older tracks.
Just wish they'd hurry up and finish Tahiti :'(

You can't even trade an X2010 oO
The course pack that includes Spa (IDK if there is still a bundle package, but I would get that if it is still up). And car pack 3 with the Aventador, V12 Vantage and the Jaguar LMP car. Those two together should set you pack $11.
