Yeah, the suspend option specifically tells you to press the PS button and quit, lol

The game is calling you a pansy.

"Hey you can't handle racing for that long? Fucking quit then, game is not for you!"

DLC day 0 for me.

Oooh, I like this new feature:

- Addition of the Consecutive Login Bonus
When a user logs in consecutively, a bonus will now be applied to experience and race rewards.
It will increase to 110% in the 1st day, 130% in the 2nd day, 150% in the 3rd day, 170% in the 4th, to a maximum of 200% in the 5th day. This will apply to all events both online and offline, so logging in every day will make the game progress faster.
 
Man oh man running Like the Wind in the Red Bull monster is insane. The true difficulty lies in trying not crashing into the rest of the grid when you lap them at Mach 20 ;P

Come to think of it, you shouldn't be allowed to enter other races while in an endurance race. However, you should still be able to buy cars and do other things.

$12 for all that? Fucking hell, expecting Aus top get fucked on the price even though our dollar is at parity at the moment.
I'm expecting $18 or so for it here, which would be about 70% the price of the freaking (Platinum version) game imported from the UK! D:<

I'd still pull out my wallet for it, but all the cars are just touring versions of existing ones. Lame.

Are any of those cars in the "racing" pack actually new? They're just like the stealth model pre-orders, only now in "touring" versions. 8 bucks for that?

Really like the fast track loads, but it's still background loading the cars, so if you try to jump right in, it'll make you wait. The total load time for a race with cars is probably about the same as before.

edit: also, wait, spa doesn't have time change?

They're new, they're based on regular cars with new body kits and probably new cockpits as well.

This is not true. It's much faster, still.

The three Karts are brand new!

Seriously though I love Karting in this game so that's actually awesome to me. :p


So beautiful.

New Opening Movie
A new opening movie is now available from "Gran Turismo TV". When you download this movie, it will replace the current opening movie. The previous version will be viewable within Gran Turismo TV.

Anyone check to see if its there?

I guess we'll find out next Tuesday, but I think most people were expecting either some standards to be upgraded or genuinely new cars.

FFFFUUUUU!!!
Heh, are they allowed to make new references to Top Gear now that Forza has a partnership with them? Just curious about how it all works.
