Account and region A, Account and Region B. Same PS3. I bought the DLC from account A, will it work on account B?

You need a game from region X and dlc from region X. That's all that matters.

That I have, I just thought the shenanigans with the first DLC meant it is available for one profile on the same PS3.

They fixed that with a family patch. So now its not an issue.

 

[SunhiLegend]

I don't care how much they charge for new tracks, I'll buy them anyway, I don't care if they don't release another car pack for GT5 as long as they release more tracks then I'll be happy.

Although I would love a premium GT1/GT2 car pack.

If I buy the Racing Car Pack DLC, can I get the Red bull X2011 from my garage instantly to use in career mode, or do I have to buy it or win it in some cup before I get it?

I lol'd at the wings. Pretty amazing editing.

Going to skip on buying Motegi.


Nice to have a new track but Im not paying for a straight ps2 port job

That vid is awesome, GT6 needs a Mt. Haruna Course Maker theme.

Its not a "straight" ps2 port. Its been reworked.

well laguna seca has a few alterations to it but its still using mostly ps2 level assets.

It isn't. When people mention PS2 tracks we mean the actual modeling of the track wasn't done from scratch, and it's easier to tell they aren't as detailed, for example, compare the white lines on the nurburgring with lines from "ps2" tracks, they're actually curved and not just many diagonal lines trying to pretend they're a curve. But the assets have all been redone for GT5, textures, buildings etc.

i need to convince my brother to buy the logitech G27 (or similar)

any amazing video of GT5 with racing wheel ??

thanks GAF

Thanks Bought the DLC pack, but haven't been able to test the cars yet. Next question: can I transfer my credits from GTPSP to GT5? I have about 700k credits in GTPSP that I don't really have any use for there, but they would be rather welcome in GT5. If not, I'll just spend the credits on buying/upgrading cars, and transferring those to GT5.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

GTPSP credits are non-transferable to GT5 unfortunately

IIRC the only thing that's transferable from the PSP game is the garage, and that's obviously only to arcade mode.

I see, thanks. Did a few more races to earn enough credits for a Toyota I wanted, but by the time I had about enough, the dealers had switched. So I spent about 1 million credits on buying a Honda Mugen that actually performed worse than some of the cars I already owned. Money well spent :|

that guy has skills. <3's InitialD

+ unrelated but saw this wondering YT after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KppTmsNFneg&feature=g-vrec

looks fun to play in.

 

[mclaren777]

Pretty impressive.

This is the stat that surprises me most: The average increase in distance is 63 million miles a day.

I didn't realize that GT5 had such a vibrant online community, though I wonder if that number includes online B-spec races.

There's 30+ servers all the time just in Euro zone, 24/7. Not that surprising to me.

Yep, and that number doesn't include the private lounges.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Welcome to GT5, lol.

It wouldn't be so bad if GTPSP at least let me tune my cars :lol GTPSP is just so bad, definitely the worst GT game I've played (and I've played them all, besides the prologues and those 'special versions').

 

[dubc35]

GTPSP is epically bad. I knew it wouldn't come close to the console versions but seriously, no career mode at all? It seems like Sony just said, hey we're going to have GT on PSP and forgot to tell PD about it.

The only thing it's really useful for is doing races (winning a 6-lap race netted me something like 150k credits, although I guess that may change depending on what level you are) to get credits to buy cars you can transfer to GT5 (and those can't even be used in career mode). Other than that, it really is a pretty awful and useless game. But at least I got it for free when I bought my PSP (buying the GTPSP bundle was actually cheaper than buying a standalone PSP, for some reason).

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

You can tune your car in GT PSP:

GT PSP is a very good driving game and offers the best racing out of any GT game. The rubberband AI is a welcomed addition -- S rank races are good fun and close from start to finish, it puts that borefest GT5 to shame.


Rubberband AI for GT6?

Official blog post for the upcoming DLC.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/06/26/gt5-toyota-fr-s-and-twin-ring-motegi-dlc-release/

First up is the Twin Ring Motegi Pack, a much cherished legacy circuit that will evoke fond memories amongst GT fans and which was seen recently in the final stages of the GT Academy contest. The pack is priced at &#8364;4.99/£3.99 and includes two tracks with four layout configurations of Motegi.

For the uninitiated Twin Ring Motegi is a circuit located in Japan that has both an oval and road course in its configuration. The 2.4km oval &#8216;Superspeedway&#8217; is mainly used for American motorsports, while the 4.8km road course is used for races like the Super GT and Formula Nippon. This pack not only contains these two tracks, it also includes the West and East courses that are formed by separating the first half and the latter half of the road course, letting you enjoy the different technical layouts of the Motegi track. Motegi is a track that a lot of fans have been asking for and we hope you&#8217;re excited to see its reappearance.

I know about the quick tune option, what I was thinking of was the ability to upgrade your cars by buying parts. Sorry if that was unclear.

And you have to be the first person ever I've seen who actually likes rubberband AI :|

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

When your AI is absolute shit rubber banding is a must.

I dream of the day when Gran Turismo has Grand Prix 4 levels of intelligence, that game is still the standard 10 years after it released.

 

[Toxa]

SuperGT Party at Motegi !

 

[Metalmurphy]

Wrong thread Toxa, lol.

 

[Watevaman]

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but is Motegi fixed time/weather?

 

[Metalmurphy]

All signs point to yes.

 

[Niks]

The 2 person team in charge of making tracks worked on this one for a whole year,
so including weather and time would probably take another year.

But hey on the upside, you get a FREE car, just dont mind its the carbon copy of a car you already have.

"We’re making Honda HSV now but may not be in time for GT5."

It's been how long now? 2 years?

Why must you hurt me so, Kazunori.

 

[Dead Man]

Why the hell do I have to be signed in to do seasonals? Shit drives me nuts since GT5 keeps dropping the PSN connection. If I stay in XMB I stay connected for days, in GT5, 2-3 hours at most.

Truth. Well, and race design is shit too.

Soooo... is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

I had this other thing in mind, but this sounds way better. Let's do it.

 

[Angst]

I presume you were thinking about Super GT before I derailed your train of thought?

It's summer vacation for me, so no GT5 for a few weeks.

 

[Toxa]

Motegi is still great

 

[Mush]

I bought Motegi. I think it looks passable.

 

[paskowitz]

Yeah, it is really technical. Easy to screw up on.
