No new tracks? No new paint chip system? Bummed about this update and DLC other than the change wheels on standard cars.
I don't think they're ever going to change the paint system. It's the most fucked up thing I've ever seen.
Still not able to change car after selecting a track without having to go back to menu-> Garage-> menu-> training-> Track-> training options...and reload the fucking same track!
This is such an obvious problem it should have never existed in the first place.
When you have 1100 cars in a game, making it easy to change a car should be priority n°1.
ho...and another GTR. Great. I hope Nissan made a huge check to PD cause i ain't paying for it.
Yeah that's pretty annoying. I just use my own lobby nowadays to practice. Enter lobby, set track, restrictions, etc and you have access to all your cars from the garage. For one-make practice races, you'd have to reload anyway to change the AI opponents. But with the lobby, there are no offline leaderboards for your laps, that's the main difference I guess.

I was looking at the FT86 Club forums, and I found these pics of the GT5 demo at the FR-S reveal party thing:
That last one is interesting, I've never seen that attract mode screen before.

It's the "Lucerne - Chapel Bridge" photo travel location.

I don't think I have that unlocked, probably why I've never seen it
EDIT: Oh I do, I've just never seen that part before.

More like they just don't have a clue.
Cool. Now Spa, please...
I kinda understand why they're waiting a bit to have Spa in seasonals now...that way it doesn't cut into their DLC profits as much.

But didn't Kaz come out and say they were changing the paint system in this months update back when the first DLC dropped?
Skyrim on my PS3 has really sullied me on the waning days of this console generation. I think it is time to get back into PC racing, rFactor 2 looks amazing and GT5 looks like it will never deliver even 10% of what most people anticipated as "routine" DLC releases.

I pray it means they have mixed the audio differently. I personally think the sounds in GT5 are alright, it's just that if you race from the cockpit view, the engine sounds are hollow as hell. Oh, and I hope they apply some proper bass to all sounds; right now engines sound flat as fuck.

Here's the final race from the 86 Grand Prix that was held at the Tokyo Motor Show

Oh man...the ending is brutal.

I agree on all fronts. I hope it means louder and better engine sounds. It's just that labeling it "racing sound effects" sounds a little strange. I'd like better crash sound effects too.
I second this, but it's unlikely unfortunately.
They could require Spa DLC to be installed before you could play the seasonal event...If anything, that'd boost the sales.
When he said they'd be adding DLC cars to the dealer, I think some thought he meant they'd do the same with paint as well, but I don't think they're going to change it now. A paint chip store with every chip unlocked would be so much better.
Wow, poor guy in 2nd place. At least he was sportsmanlike enough to not weave down the straight like people do online.
You didn't buy SPA??? What is wrong with you!
Yeah, but the guy that won could have overtaken at numerous points, he braked or let off the gas so many times towards the end of that last lap in order to set himself up for that. If he didn't do it, it just would have been reversed on him.
awesome race
I would welcome an option to choose the sound independently from the view. In my opinion, in-car/bonnet/bumper are the best views, chasewith its exhaust-heavy mixis the best for audio.

Putting GT5 back in for the FT86.
Why buy it when you can play it for free. It's not like PD gave us new A-Spec events, like new Cups and a Endurance Race. I just played the new Seasonal Event, it was a time trial in the DLC Kart Track. Anyone can play it withouth paying. PD should add a Spa Seasonal Event ASAP!
I'm happy about the new stuff, but. . .
- No XP for Arcade mode.
- No redesign of the f'ing silly paint chip system.
- No weather/night options for more tracks.
- No easy way to check your garage from the ocd/ucd/gt auto.
Hurrrgh. I have a hard time understanding how those couldn't be the top of the 'fix' lists. The new dlc cars seem a bit lackluster. I'm sure it'll please some. But there's a large number of standard cars that need a premium, or at the least a better interior view. Starting to wonder if there isn't more to it like licensing, or even reskin vs new models or something.

There's an interview in the latest Playstation podcast with Gran Turismos US producer where he talks about the update and DLC.

Not actually that important
Awful DLC.
They keep putting out updated 2012 version of PREMIUM cars alteady in the fucking game when there's an infinite number of EU/USA cars lacking.
Very disappointed, doesn't give me hope for the next DLC since it's starting to show as a trail here, doing it on purpose to keep important cars for GT6? At least give us a premium RUF (Yellow Bird!) ffs.
Also I'm mad at you guys for no $XP@Arcade! You should've twitted Kaz about that a long time ago but I'll forgive you if you do it nao
Seriously, reworked paint chips system (or at least if you don't want to make 'em infinite let me go back if I don't like how it looks with a real preview!) and credits+xp for Arcade would make me play this game for another two years.
It saddens me that there's a much better SP portiont of the game (better AI, custom race & car/rivals picks, simulation, damage, Spa, Meteo, Standing starts...) locked out from me because of some absurd logic. It never made sense imo, but it objectively doesn't now that 1 year has passed and only enthusiasts are still playing the game.

Where did you get the 2 weeks from? It's 2 Months.
I somehow remembered it was 2 weeks.. smh. Well I'm fine with 2 months really, for 4 extra cars per patch.
I LUV your avatar, reminds me of Ellen Page, I luv her.
It doesn't make any sense, sorry.
XP is something you obtain in the both A/B-Spec career or Career-based events and you only "need" them for the Career.
Arcade mode is Arcade mode. Two universes.
On the other hand, there should definitely be XP/Cr bonuses for finished One Make Races in the A-Spec Practice mode.
It makes perfect sense, it is about the only way to make a custom race, and has all the attributes of a real race, so XP should be earned. It would certainly help avoid the grind. There is no reason for the separation of A spec and Arcade.

Lol, I just got this calender reminder. I guess I copied and pasted this as a calender reminder a year a go today. How hauntingly relevant my statements still are.
"I wager a F1 2010 car that by this time next year the updates and DLC will have been sparse and disappointing."
Well the first DLC pack was alright, but I don't understand how we've gone from 15 cars for 7.99 to 4 cars for 3.99. And another GT-R. There's already six premium GT-R's in the game; seven if you count the Proto. If you're gonna make another premium GT-R, at least make it the Pace Car...

I think the only way you could define GT5 DLC after over a year of being released is "sparse and disappointing"
What a let down, yet not surprising in the least.

Exactly my thoughts when reading that stuff. Arcade mode is supposed to be disconnected; it's made for jump on and play with/without a buddy.
That said, arcade mode races are better than just "one make" and with damage modeling improved, I don't see why that shouldn't be a part of the career mode in some form. Practice mode should basically be the same thing only with XP awards. Just another baffling decision, "people probably don't want to see their cars damaged, so we won't even make it an option in singleplayer."
Sometimes I wonder how much Kaz plays his own game, because there are so many things that were overlooked.
I also agree about Arcade and Career being separate. But it's a shame that we'll never get adaptive opponents in practice races like in Arcade. I don't even see a request for this feature on gtplanet's feedback list, it must not be a very popular idea...
