I agree. The way it has been cut together this time is not as good, and the music sucks in comparison. It used to build in intensity right until the end, and now it's just... meh. But the second half is ace, so I'll let them off.TheSeks said:Spec 1 I feel is better. There's some new shots in Spec 2 that look nice, but the parts put on the beautiful 1080p shots of real-life video is jarring and looks terrible.

Because Polyphony is fucking stupid. That's why. Half this stuff in this update should've came out MONTHS after launch or at least been there day one.
But, sure, Kaz: I'll take the increased EXP for logging in once a day and hope it progresses faster than 1.0 GT5. The only time EXP was somewhat decent was 1.5 but you had to nerf that after Christmas, didn't you? >:|

In addition to the login bonus.
Choosing the time of day is much nicer now for a nice drive in your favourite car, I really disliked not being able to choose when you drove.
I haven't raced in the rain yet, but does anyone know if the rain still looks a bit iffy and pixely? (is pixely even the right word?)
I don't know why you lot can't just agree that all these companies are as much to blame as each other, the only difference is at what level have they tried to screw each other over.
The only problem I have is when a company buys license deals that span platforms they are never going to develop for, or in recent memory a developer who goes off on one about a company who does gets a license and moans how they don't get certain content when they have seemingly done exactly the same thing themselves to someone else.
Not that it really matters what any of us say anyway, lol.

Thats not the issue, the issue is the fact that they skipped over making it a premium.HenryHSH said:

The blame goes to all the asshole who are 'locking down' all this content. All of us would be better off if GT5 and Forza both had equal access to Top Gear, BBC, etc.

Nice, 15-20 minute download. Not too bad at all for 1100MB (for PSN). Then again Im in South Florida downloading it at 12:30pm EST. Not exactly PSN primetime.

yup. after that they signed a 10 year deal.... 11 years ago. They probably have another deal by now.paskowitz said:
But the Porsche / Forza thing sounds like it also had something to do with Microsoft being dicks with there Ferrari licence according to Slightly Mad studios.
Maybe it was just a case of "you wont give us your licence so we wont give you ours".
The Top Gear stuff was probably PD not getting the in game stuff like the stig challenges and the TG studio as part of there first deal to get the track and where just doing stuff in good fate with a hand shake agreement before Turn 10 came down with a tuck of money and got Top Gear to sign a contract forcing Polyphony to cut some stuff.
Basically exclusive licences in racing games are dumb but lets hope PD lock things down next time.
Intro video without the glitches.

After the 30th viewing it's still so fucking good. Make it GT6's intro! :lol

I really like the update.
It has small changes, but wow, they do make a difference.
After some thoughts i have no doubt in my mind that the biggest and best change this patch brought us was the slipstreaming option.
I tested and it´s way better. Can´t wait to try on Nascar races.
I agree that all of this should be in the original release, but hey, we got it now.
I´m blown away that PD is finally listening to us and adding the small bits that add so much to the gameplay.
When i saw the option to turn the HUD off in an earlier update, and now with the slipstream option, it´s like Kaz personally read my posts and told his team to put it on the game.
Wishlists and complain posts do have a function, and i´m glad they are tailoring GT5 to us.
New racing cars, (SuperGT 2007, 2011, other years) leaderboards, old GT tracks and online championships would make this the ultimate and perfect racing game.
However, since they are listening to me, here it goes some thougts after the news:
-----------------------------------------
DLC cars and pacth cars are a major letdown. I will buy day one, but the TC cars are nothing but racing modifications based on current cars.
The karts, the X1, the Schulze GTR, liveries and specs.
The 2011 Nascars only have a different splitter. Once again, i follow Nascar closely and i´m confirming that 2011 cars are just like the 2010 models, just with different liveries and a different splitter. Real teams still use 2010 models this year to race. It´s a fact.
So, no new cars were modelled. Some were free and it is nice, but i´m still expecting totally new models.
If their business model is to make monthly or weekly DLC, then it´s cool. I hope it´s the case.
I was expecting some older tracks to go along Spa. Upscaled versions of GT4 and GT2 tracks would add a lot to the game.
Finally, keep working on the leaderboards. They have to be in it someday. Don´t listen to Metalmurphy Kaz, listen to me.

YES! The bloom remains in photographs now. Also, the smoke aliasing has been reduced for pictures. If I try, I can still capture crappy smoke from an offending angle, but most of the time, the edges appear smoother.
Not too shabby.

Really like the update so far. The faster loading to the settings menu before a race is really great. They also updated the list of races for remote racing!
If anyone is interested in having their drivers doing remote races, add me.

They're probably just the photo mode filters (cool, warm, partial color mostly). I can't imagine them being too taxing, at least for replay mode, if they wanted to put them in.jett said:
$18 separately and $12 as a pack is too pricey for weekly or even monthly DLC. Quarterly? Possibly. I think we'll be lucky if we see another pack release before the year ends, though if they're feeling particularly generous maybe we'll get some details.seattle6418 said:
Then again, everything but the track pack couldn't have taken them that long to whip up. I suppose they could keep churning out that sort of stuff easily enough, but I don't know if people will keep buying them at those prices.

The game must be getting hammered, menu loading is the worst I've seen in months in the game. Why THE FUCK do they have network load during a menu, unreal.

It's really not a big deal. Tracks load faster, but you still have to wait for the cars to load.Wazzim said:
