If that happens, I'll make a youtube video of my bittersweet tears.

[gunther]

really more delays, please sony and poliphony, don't give us date's ever again .

 

[chubigans]

It sounds like they delayed it to include this special bonus, since the DLC is just an unlock key.

Hmm, wonder what it is.

 

[dwebo]

only delayed in NA? what is this nonsense

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Yurop Master Race wins again.

 

[2scoops]

My body WAS ready....

Nevermind, it still is! As for the special bonus, i would love to see the Veyron SS, or the HSV. Or another track perhaps?

 

[Animal]

Red Bull RB7. Give it to me Kaz.

 

[Xun]

A tad unfair for non-US players if the special bonus is decent.

A delay for something everyone already has seems strange.

 

[patsu]

Probably promo related. I doubt PD will agree to exclusive US only contents.

 

[mblitek]

WHAT, ugh ugh. I was sooo waiting for this! I don't understand Maybe because of other PSN DLC tomorrow? Arkham City?

The bonus is going to be lame. Unless it's a new car from a manufacturer. It'll probably be a free GT TV download.

 

[patsu]

Ha ha yeah, I have that feeling as well.

 

[Niks]

Im dissapoint.. :/
special bonus my ass!!

 

[baekshi]

Give us one new premium car.

Thats it.

MY BONUS I DEMAND A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!

 

[Polyphony]

Damnit... on the bright side, we'll still be able to race at Spa as long as the lounge host has the track.

Is that by design? Because if so bravo to Polyphony. That's how all premium multiplayer DLC should work imho.

Yeah, that's how it works.

 

[seattle6418]

Suddenly having YLOD and waiting until my new PS3 arrives isn´t that bad...



(it´s still bad having to fork over 400 dollars to have the same machine i had).

Goldrusher was able to race at Spa when he joined amar's room.

 

[Death Dealer]

If it's not a new premium exotic car or new track (at least an uprez'd GT4 track), it's worthless at soothing my disappointment.

You really shouldn't expect too much. I'd imagine that it's some sort of GT Home content. patsu was right on point when he said that it's doubtful that PD will give a territory exclusive/special content in the game.

 

[Polyphony]

It's going to be...

Kaz's race suit

Anyone have any drifting tips?

I'm trying to do the drift seasonal for the first time and just cannot seem to figure it out.

- You don't need an extremely powerful car to complete these events, starting with a <300 hp car might be easier than going all out with a Cerbera Speed 12.

- Drive in manual to keep the wheels spinning.

- Don't enter to corner with too much speed. Take your time to get the right angle and to drift through the entire section. The points seemed to be calculated in function of the angle and speed of the drift, but sacrificing some speed for control is a good trade.

- Find a good drifting tune on gtplanet for your car of choice.

- If you use a wheel, turn power steering on. Drifting with a wheel is an entirely different beast though. I find it easier with the DS3.

Personally, I use the Silvia S13 '90. It drifts well enough stock, but it's even easier with a bit of tuning.

 

[phosphor112]

I come in hoping to see the DLC being live...

Alas... delays still plague GT5 even after it's release. =[

 

[weekend_warrior]

Use a bone stock ~250hp Honda S2000 and comfort hard tires. Don't worry about tuning or settings yet. Take corners at about midrange RPM in 2nd gear, turn sharply into the corner and hit the gas. You'll start out spinning out or not drifting at all but eventully you'll get a sense of throttle modulation. Stick with the low horsepower S2000, using a more powerful car will not help you become a better drifter.

 

[ShortBus]

Never change, PD.

 

[Death Dealer]

I don't even get why they are delaying it in NA for a week. It makes no sense.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Wait. This got delayed? I think they did this on purpose.

 

[CouchMaster]

Wait. This got delayed? I think they did this on purpose.

Only in US, we're getting it in few hours

 

[6for8]

I will take the GT-R GT academy special for DLC please. We couldn't get that in NA.

Was in a Japan hosted room with the new Kart tracks. Now to find a SPA room.

 

[chubigans]

You know, I'm thinking it was delayed in NA due to the sheer amount of releases this week. I mean look at this: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/10/16/the-drop-week-of-october-17th-2011-new-releases/

 

[Auto_aim1]

The store updates on Wednesday for us, right?

 

[CouchMaster]

It does, but I guess they're making an exception for GT5. Anyway you can always check the in-game DLC section if you can't find it in PSN store.

 

[baekshi]
