Probably unlocking the online portion of the game

kyleh613 · Nov 23, 2010

Suppose to enable multiplayer. I wonder what else it adds. At 133MB it might be a lot.

imaweirdo · Nov 23, 2010

Make that a 1.5 hour install for the game and the patch.

Darkpitiless · Nov 23, 2010

Yes thats what im thinking. 133MB is more that a features activator. BTW it's progressing very slow i don't know why :S.

MidianGTX · Nov 23, 2010

Probably fixes to bugs we haven't even noticed but may crop up on rare occasions. That's how it usually goes.

tillbot8 · Nov 23, 2010

not jumping to any conclusions, but hmmmm intresting?!

Madrid is tomorro night, who knows what will be revealed!

Typical for PSN when it comes to patches and updates. :X

imaweirdo · Nov 23, 2010

They need a GT5 lounge in PS Home.

Devedander · Nov 23, 2010

Interesting they would put the patch out before official release....

Man Turismo · Nov 23, 2010

133MB is far too big for just an online unlock. I wonder what else there is.

ghostrider135 · Nov 23, 2010

More premium cars

ahh we can only dream

bluesix · Nov 23, 2010

I'm guessing it will be for the online multiplayer mode

Just kidding 👍

Considering it's a big patch...it most likely unlocked greater damage models as well. How coincidental is it that right when the patch hits....we get a video of increased damage...hmmmmm.

They released the patch before launch so it is ready in the event that some places do midnight launches on the 23rd.

This much has actually already been confirmed in another thread. It's the rest that we are wondering about.

Option to turn off HUD completely i hope.

jajajaja 👍 dreaming about more F1 Cars the Honda HSV, Spa and Hockenheim,but keep realistic, Is highly probably for patch issues and open the multiplayer areas

ADTR · Nov 23, 2010

Installs more things on your HDD
Opens online functions
Opens the museum
Opens the GT-TV mode
Can give cars to a friend

Probably some more things

GT-TV and museum ARE online "functions".

JDMKING13 · Nov 23, 2010

Some guy said it was a patch for the game

Daraman
There was a patch.

"I think the 1.01 opened the online portion of the game yay

after installing the patch I can now navigate the GTTV too

Also at the start of the game before playing it asked me wither or not I want to install the game, easier for noobs instead of searching for it in the options menus.

Im gonna see what else is there in that patch."

This part is about the online part of GT5.

Daraman
Here's another quote from this person

consider it your facebook page, that's how ridiculously amazing it is.
you can.

* put your personal image in the upper left corner.
* your status comment.
* greetings message.
* your theme color.
* backrgound wallpaper.
* you will receive msgs from friends lists.
* you will receive msgs from people who are interested to be your friends.
* you can change your privacy settings and stuff.
* there is also a section where you give gifts to your friends.
* you can basically tweet too in the community section inside the message board.
* there is a log for people to see what you are doing, unlocked...etc.
* there is mail section to check your inbox, outbox and start new.

that is just crazy.

I wanted to be specific

No I said it would be bad business if they put out a patch on release day that addresses missing/broken functionality as advertised for the game... if it's just online related, no issue as that doesn't leave anyone in the cold for not having broadband.

Nice try though!

vantage2 · Nov 23, 2010

POOOOOOOOORRRRRRSSSSCCCCCHEEEEE!!!!!

Well no. But that would be sweet :sly:

oalithgow · Nov 23, 2010

Speaking of DLC's patches remember the patch one had to download in Prologue ?
In that patch you get the ferrari california, the citroen etc. and imrpoved physics....
Maby GT5 will supply patches like: Premium versions of cars like the Bugatti,
or rims for the standard cars.... who knows !!!!

The patch does this, no premium cars or else.

Ah so still no online server access... would have been too good to be true

Yes you can make online races, at least, I know they can in France

J-PaP · Nov 23, 2010

So apparently post patch the game needs 8gb to install. Not sure if thats on top of the original install.

pieman404 · Nov 23, 2010

Hopefully a patch will add brake upgrades.

I dont want to have to run around the circuit with stock brakes.. I wont be able to slow down
