Online needs a colossal overhaul with GT6.

Really? I always liked the Online implementation of GT, it lacks some advanced options for tournaments and such, but lobby its great.
What would You changed/add the most?

And btw i know thats not a thread for that, but what have changed in FM 4 online options? Because from what i saw, Forza 3 had really limited ones. [i'll probably play FM 4 in week or two thats why i'm asking]

Online is a mess in some aspects, why do the implement stupid restrictions and lack basic features and options still after a year?

Why can I not drive my F10 if it is not a one make only race?
Why is there no option for Formula GT only?
Why can I not select a car as host that is rented to all players if they do not have it?

Lots of stupid choices that make it hard for a player to set up races with friends especially if they are casual players.

Another thing you should be able to do is set up playlists of tracks and settings that cycle like a server.

Kaz shared this video on Twitter, very cool comparison between the GT5 Nordschleife and real life.

First thing I noticed was that GT5's GT-R is missing the limiter lights. Sure it's trivial, but Polyphony are all about the detail.

Not necessarily added, but no-one can tell me that the way sharing photos, courses, cars, messages, gifts etc, are currently implemented is the best solution. With GT6, everyone needs their own online space, like Forza's Storefront, where these things can be shared and seen easily. Integration, not segregation.

I agree, GT wouldn't really work with matchmaking, its so so unlike Kaz

I don't agree. We basically had a matchmaking-sytem in Prologue and it was a pretty good one.

Official races with strict entry restrictions, divided into Amateur/Normal/Professional tiers, with weekly/monthly changes for races/Time Trials. It was great way for daily pick-up-and-play and I really hope something along that lines will live again in GT5 online.

Agree, both options are one I really seek for.

From my perspective, everything is already well integrated. Current state of GT5 online is very good and thought-out, especially the community features. However, I agree it requires some polishing.

At this point, it lacks only option to send replay-files which would be great, but you can understand the problem because 10+players races on 10 laps occupies more than 10MB in size. I presume how PSN servers have some limitations over message-size, but in grand-scheme it is probably the next step.

In this moment, everything in GT5 is already established as a Club/Storefront. I have 97 friends on my GT5 list, they all share up to 6 cars and up to 6 B-Spec drivers that can be used for making money or leveling up your driver. We all can send ourselves cars/paints/tune-parts/gear and we do so. All of us flawlessly share courses we make in Course Maker and we also use them flawlessly in online races.

Photos can easily be shared either by game-interface or by online-profile on GT5 official pages, no problem there.

Log system allows to track other people performance on daily basis, we can send each others mails/messages through both PS3 or PC interface by simple logging on GT5 official page. Also, we can remotely host Remote Races from work or smartphones and make serious money/XP in online without even being home.

I find GT5 online options as a perfect foundation for future development and I can predict it will be done even during GT5 lifetime.

Man, reading this thread is making me so jealous.

I just got GT5 a couple weeks ago but due to my atrocious internet situation, I am still playing 1.0 with no chance of upgrading in the near future. I even had to surrender my office to my girlfriend, so my barely used G27 is sitting in a box. Feels bad man.

At least I can do lots of B-Spec grinding... I guess?

I don't mean to rub it in, but I don't even want to imagine what it'd be like to go back to 1.0 after a year's worth of updates including Spec 2.

I actually think it can be disabled in the GT-R because it's an auto, at the end of the day.

Yes, when on a track, the limiter will turn off.
It is GPS based.

Not sure if the light will be on or off when on a track though.

I'll let you guys know when/if I own a GTR. (Or use Google)

I Japan the GTR had a speed limiter that was GPS controlled, i think it was like 111mph(confirmed from later Engadget post) or so until it got onto a race track.

Probably a bug. Or because the GTR-35 deserves the #1?

So you can confirm you can't change it as well?
Wish someone would tweet Kaz about it... It irks me, I want my 77 on there :p

That's what I gather from having sifted through both GT5 OTs since picking up the game. Fortunately, (unfortunately?), I haven't even seen anything from any version past 1.0, so I have no idea what I'm missing.

The thing that I am missing out on the most is Remote Racing. Since I have recently lost my space for my G27 setup, I have no other choice but to do B-Spec stuff, and since I'm still at 1.0, that means doing it all by hand in front of my PS3.

When/if you get your internet, office and G27 back, make sure you have a seat belt too. Buckle yourself in, you're in for a helluva ride with today's GT5. :)

Yeah, it probably is that. There's this video where it doesn't come on in automatic (but you can clearly see the band where the light would come on), and then this video where the light does. But I've never noticed it working in any GT-R model in GT5.

No biggie of course, but it's something I noticed. Although no doubt about it, having fully functional working gauges and dashboard lights is one of things I love most about GT5.

There's weekly events now and you can buy upgrades directly from the tune menu.


Nothing in A-spec has changed.

Well, with that announcement I'm ready to believe that GT6 is indeed for the next generation. I wasn't so sure before.

I am so in love with that car, I would spend my 8 mil on it. But I was the same
way with the LF-A and actually don't enjoy driving it anymore at all.

As long as all this DLC is sensibly priced I don't mind. It's not like you need to buy all of it anyway. I still think £3.19 just for Spa alone is good buy. They could have easily just made it part of the bundle, or charged a lot more. TBH I wouldn't have put it past other devs to charge more for such an iconic track.

Really really hoping a GT5-Spec Midfield comes along though. And a Pennzoil GT-R. My favourite combo back in GT4.

Kaz: We hadn't planned on covering all the famous (GT) courses. We knew that Trial Mountain and Deep Forest were popular tracks, but does everyone want Midfield? It is possible to make.
