1.02 Update live!

[eSZee]

Does anyone know the difference between 1.02 and the small update that pops up after 1.02 installs?

 

[OpticZero]

People were complaining career mode was too short.

Now it's impossible to finish career mode until some time next year

I always thought Career Mode was the proper length. With Online races and weekly Seasonal Events, there are plenty of races to be involved in. Sure, we all would be happy if it were infinite, but Career Mode serves it's purpose in this new age of continuously updated gaming.

Does the patch Add modern AI, get rid of rolling starts? If not still no buy.

On Ra menu for BMW TT you cant change the BB, maybe on new one you will be able to.

 

[bigspleen]

It adds vettel driving school stuff, brings back login bonuses and increases offline payouts.

So much for all the microtransaction nay sayers.

HUH? If anything this proves them right....game was designed around Micro transactions, only after did they change it. it effected development.

 

[Uday9479]

Love the updates. A 1.2 Gb size for it is no hassle.

With all the changes, this has added to the Christmas Charm that's in the air!

Login bonus, the 2 Bonus Seasonals & higher pay credits are the most satisfying updates!

Thanks PD.

 

[bigspleen]

Yep, when they released GT6.

LMAo if you think this is improved or acceptable AI... Low standards are low. GT6 ai is atrocious, as is the racing. Ai was not touched , they added a rubber band effect which is even worse and pure laziness. It's the worst racing AI in gaming period.

Preview screen in tune parts is buggy now

 

[eSZee]

I told the fanboys here that PD will listen to our concerns, specifically low payout which means they will listen on what we want changed now and what we want for the future.

Here's the thing, I'm looking at novice races after 1.02 update and the payouts are still 4x00cr. There's no increase. Same goes for the A races. They were 20800 when I did them days ago, and they still are. I know the 10% increase in novice might not be noticed but a 70% increase in A would be and it's just not there.
So where's the increase?

I pray the slip has changed, I hope its not dumbed down slightly like GT5

HUH? If anything this proves them right....game was designed around Micro transactions, only after did they change it. it effected development.

So, do you think GT5 was designed around micro-transactions? Cause when that game first launched, payouts were just about at the same level, then after a patch or two, they raised payouts and added login bonuses. The game wasn't built around micro-transactions any more than GT5 was. If anything, this proves that PD would rather sell the game rather than credits.

LMAo if you think this is improved or acceptable AI... Low standards are low. GT6 ai is atrocious, as is the racing. Ai was not touched , they added a rubber band effect which is even worse and pure laziness. It's the worst racing AI in gaming period.

This, I completely disagree with. But to each their own.

I don't think getting rid of rolling starts is actually possible. It's a hardware issue, supposedly having that many cars bunched up results in super low framerates.

So I guess you'll never be buying this game.

 

[MustangCobra95]

I want to download this but my freaking PS3 keeps crashing! It never does this!

 

[NICKname]

Well, meanwhile let`s have a look at a server farm somewhere in Japan.

Not again... Japan had more than enough of those...

Uhh, pretty sure someone reported that the new XB JR. races that were added are standing start.

So, this in the orginigal post isn't accurate?

Credits earned in Career Mode increasedThe amount of credits earned in Career Mode have been increased. Rewards for Novice Class races have been raised to approximately 110%, for National B Class up to approx. 130%, for National A Class to approx. 140%, for International B Class to approx. 150%, for International A Class to approx. 160%, and for Super Class they have been raised to approximately 170%. This may give good incentive to go back and try some races you’ve already cleared!

Perhaps you need to win the race to see the bonus, did you try completing one, or just looking at the pay out in the race info?

Yes.
Also the engine/exhaust sound is great, it just belongs to a hot hatch, not a RBjr, its got a lovely rorty sound and actually sounds like its got a certain something missing from other cars, its looking good for future sound updates.

How ironic, the 2 best sounding cars are fictional RedBulls!

The Real Driving Simulator?

its not a hardware issue LMAO. Every other racing game on Ps3 doesn't have them. Post proof? Sounds like you're making excuses for PD..How would a rolling start kill frame rates more? Hogwash.

Here's the thing, I'm looking at novice races after 1.02 update and the payouts are still 4400cr. There's no increase. Same goes for the A races. They were 20800 when I did them days ago, and they still are.

Add to that the log-in bonus, and prizes have been more than doubled across the board.

 

[lmracer]

Does the Ascari Race Resort shortcut now have invisible walls, or does it just invalidate your lap if you cut?

I really hope they kept invisible walls out. I don't cheat, but I really like knowing the infield is completely open.

Just the info screen before the race.
If I run them, and the increase is indeed 110%, wouldn't that be due to the login bonus?

 

[Rallywagon]

Agreed there, Couldn't be a hardware issue, otherwise grid starts wouldn't work online, where there is a far greater demand on the hardware, and yet, its there.

Just the info screen before the race.
If I run them, and the increase is indeed 110%, wouldn't that be due to the login bonus?

Not sure, the OP has then listed separate. Try a race in a higher class, if its over what the bonus is, or if it shows both bonuses, then there is the answer.
Sorry for double posting, thought I had hit edit...

it s increased, like the wind were 49kcr now 69k, same goes to championship race, 49kcr now 75kcr

 

[Astro_BS-AS]

I wouldnt turn my back on something like that though

I wouln´t be surprised if Lambo added some Laser cannons and guided missiles to the concept.... I´m all for an Egoista in game !

Base prizes are updated in my game...

Time zone log-in bonus trick works.

I couldn't see an increase with Novice races etc. But then I looked at iA races - NASCAR Motegi and Like the Wind SSRX and they've definitely been adjusted. 80k or so for NASCAR and 70k for SSRX Like the Wind.

I see that the 10 minute IB races are now 40,000 so that's definitely and increase and it shows so on the before race screen.
But previous things all look the same.

Yeah, noticed this as well just now.

 

[Robot_House]

Sweet. Can't wait to get home and try this. I'm pretty happy with the extra content added so far to the game. Come' on engine sound update!

 

[CodeRedR51]

LMAo if you think this is improved or acceptable AI... Low standards are low. GT6 ai is atrocious, as is the racing. Ai was not touched , they added a rubber band effect which is even worse and pure laziness. It's the worst racing AI in gaming period.

I wouldn't go that far.

You will be missed.
