Glimpses can be seen of a new track with a harbor in the background, as well as a second track with flat terrain and a prominent satellite dish. Could these be a part of some new DLC? Along with the new NSX, hopefully? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Gran Turismo 5 Spec II Officially Announced
|
Those who already own the game can obviously download the updates and DLC from their PS3, but those who don’t own the game and are thinking of the giving GT5 a whirl might want to check this out. |
Sony has officially announced Gran Turismo 5 Spec II, which will include the Spec 2.0 update and the Complete Pack of DLC that launched on October 18th (the pack includes cars, tracks, racing suits/helmets, and various paint chips and other accessories). I should point out, however, that it does not say anything about upcoming DLC, which I assume Spec II adopters will still have to purchase separately. Spec II is currently slated for a February 2nd, 2012 release in Japan, selling for roughly 4,980 yen. There is no word on a North American and European release. SOURCE | GAMING EXAMINER |
As someone who plays Gran Turismo 5 at least once per day, I can assure all you dear readers that the recent Spec 2.0 update has made significant changes to the game; so much so that I would feel comfortable calling it a whole new game. Along with DLC, GT5 doesn’t even resemble the game that launched in November of last year. New GT5 DLC Approx. Every 2 Months
|
Gran Turismo 5 has finally started digging into the deep resources at Polyphony Digital and come out with some pretty serious patches (Spec 2.0) and DLC. Now it seems that once the ball is rolling, it’s hard to stop. In a recent interview with IGN, PD head Kazunori Yamauchi stated, “I think that will include cars and trucks that we’ll be releasing maybe once every two months or so from here on out. What we do from here on is also really dependent on the reaction of the users to this first DLC that we just released because this is the first one (we’re not sure if “trucks” is simply a misspelling of “tracks” or not). |
We have a pool of materials that are possible to release and it was just something that I decided with the team. We decided the vehicles and tracks and content in this first DLC was going to be our starting point.” Also, Kaz dropped some hints on the development of Gran Turismo 6: “Of course we’re working on GT6 already and I think what really will be the separating factor is something that we can’t update through a DLC is something that obviously has to be saved for GT6. Things that we can provide through DLC we will, so that’s really the market difference.” SOURCE | GAMING EXAMINER |
Upcoming GT5 DLC By Kazunori Yamauchi
|
There have been discussions regarding the Standard VS Premium car models in Gran Turismo 5 since the game came out last November, and it isn't until now that we may have an answer to what Polyphony Digital plans to do about the cars in the future. In an interview with GT Planet, Kaz answered a couple of questions regarding future DLC, new cars, and the Standard models. GTP: There has been much discussion and debate in GTPlanet’s community regarding GT5’s Standard and Premium cars. Could you explain how you came to the decision of which cars would be Premium and which would remain Standard, such as the Bugatti Veyron? KY: It wasn’t a matter of making a decision, we just didn’t have time to do it! There is still a possibility that some Standard cars may become Premium in the future. GTP: In an interview last year, you mentioned that some Standard cars may be upgraded to Premium status in the future. Do you still have plans for this, or will GT5’s future DLC focus on adding new car models to the game? |
KY: I think that we should focus on adding new cars to the game. GTP: Could you offer any hints about what else may be coming in the future, or how frequently new content may be released? KY: We’re continuously working to make more and more content for the game, and I think what’s really important is the reactions of our users. We’ve had our DLC and our 2.0 update, and the reaction has been really good so far, but we want to look at the overall feedback to see what we should do from here on, and adjust accordingly. So while Kaz does not confirm that there will be a Standard to Premium conversion in the future, he certainly does not rule out the possibility. As far as new cars go, I'm sure the more the merrier...but maybe some more road cars as opposed to racers? SOURCE | GAMING EXAMINER |

( [Vehicle Tuning] must be set to [Unrestricted] and [Car Restrictions] must be set to something other than [Select from Garage].) [Other Improvements] - In the Open Lobby, it is no longer possible to vote to kick out the person who created the room.

- Corrected an issue where the TCS and ABS settings would change when changing setting sheets. - Corrected an issue where if a certain operation was performed when using a steering wheel controller with an H pattern gear shifter, the shift lever position, gear position display and the car operation would become mismatched. (On the Logitec G25 Racing Wheel, Logitech G27 Racing Wheel, and Guillemot T500RS + TH8RS Shifter.) - Corrected an issue with the key assignments on the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel. - Corrected an issue where the driver hand motion did not match the steering wheel motion. - Corrected an issue where autopilot would not be disengaged after returning to the course, when resuming an endurance race where the pit lane was entered at overspeed before saving. - Corrected an issue where the Practice ranking board would reset if the weather change/time change setting was changed when editing an existing track in the Course Maker edit screen. - Corrected an issue where no courses could be saved in the Course Maker if the update (2.00) was installed without going through earlier updates. - Corrected an issue where an error would occur at game start if the update (2.00) was installed on a system that has a save data that has never been updated from the first version. - Corrected an issue with the Hybrid System simulation on the Toyota Prius G Touring Selection ’03, Toyota Prius G ’09, Toyota Prius Touring Car. - Corrected an issue on the Ferrari F10’10, where drivers were experiencing random vibration. - Corrected an issue where the wheel color would not appear correctly in pit work, if the wheel had been repainted. - Corrected an issue where the [Reset to Default] button was not functioning on cars that originally come with turbo kits, when other turbo kits were installed. - Corrected various other issues regarding the update and the DLC. Also, there will be a new B-Spec Seasonal, the first of it's kind: - 400PP High Speed Ring (5 laps), 125,000 Cr. Prize - 500PP Rome City (5 laps), 170,000 Cr. Prize - 650PP Tokyo Route 246 (10 laps), 220,000 Cr. Prize SOURCE | GT PLANET |
