Apprehension for the coming update ?

[F1Addict]

Thank you.

I MADE UP 10GB AS A JOKE.

I knew it was a joke the minute I read your original post. Its common sense.. 10GB for an update is just insane if it was true. The GT5 installation is around 6-8GB I think.. so there is no way the update is going to be 10GB. If it was it'd be like getting 20 more tracks, 1500 more cars, C-Spec and D-Spec plus more..
Some people are so gullible..

Reckon the update size will be around the 500mb region, like the update to the addition of mechanical damage.

Should be about February.

hopefully tomorrow then!

No link per se -- some guy mentioned it in an online lobby last night.

So let me emphasize -- RUMOR.

That being said, when I posted said rumor on the official PS3 site / GT5 section, somebody replied and said they heard it too and based it on reading Kaz's twitter feed. Somewhere in there it SUPPOSEDLY said that he was going to adjust the frequency of being able to backup your game.

Wow, seriously ? That is awesome ! That will make the game better, nevermind the FULLY non customizable transmission, the crappy shadows, the head lights that looks like dimmed flashlights and many more...

Is he updating the game for himself ? He's stubborn and I hope that Forza 4 will teach PD a lesson.

I heard the next update is going to be 1GB.

Wait... I just made that up.

I will simply crap myself if the time since the last update has been spent solely on the ability to remotely control Bob. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

Don't shoot the messenger...and once again, it is a RUMOR...but who's to say that's the only improvement?

We've also heard rumors of "free roaming" and/or B-Spec "anywhere".

Granted, that still doesn't solve the issues you mentioned, but...

I have to say I agree. With the bit in bold specifically. I played GT4 for years - GT5...even now 3/4 months after it's out, I only play it occasionally. It's a good game and everything, it just doesnt have the longevity of GT4 simply because it doesnt really add anything new to the series. In terms of actual gameplay (excluding graphics/physics etc), I can't help but think GT4 did it first, and GT4 did it better. They're going to have to up their game for GT6. No pun intended.

Most people in this forum has been playing GT5 Prologue for years. GT5 has more cars, more tracks, more driving conditions, better online, better physics, better force feedback, mechanical damage, the better rendition of Nurburgring, etc... and only is going to be better with the time, so think about it.

Maybe GT5 has evolved different to your tastes.

Wow just got back to my post, didn't realise so many people would respond !
( well half of it is "is it sure that's it's going to be 10giga ?) That was really fun !!!

By the way I was thinking about the possible updates and what could / should be done, but knowing PD pretty well, I can imagine at some point we'll get (after Cspec and Dspec) Zspec, an all new gaming experience where you can drive any car on any track at any time... in your mind ! Imagine how great it'll be, driving a hummer at lemans whilst siting on the toilet !!!! A revolution in driving simulation.

The thing that worries me the most is if they start taking away features that I've grown to rely on, kind of like what they did from GT1 to GT2 or to GT3 to GT4 ect.

 

[eSZee]

I'm worried they won't fix the paint sorting bug. Other than that, nothing else really matters.

I have thought about it. This is how I've reached the conclusion I have. I have played GT5 prologue for years. So I knew full well what GT5 was meant to be. The fact is with the exception of more tracks and cars and better physics (though this is evidently a matter of taste), GT5 as a package is ultimately nothing new on GT4. Mechanical damage doesn't count yet as it's not fully implemented.

In it's current form, for me at least, GT5 is not a sufficient step up. Prologue promised a game as different as GT4 from GT3. What we have is GT5 beta. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game. It's just not as good as it should be in this day and age. Perhaps the next few updates will fix this. Time will tell.

Bring on the 1GB/10GB/20GB/ 2TB update.

 

[bimmer3002]

they really need to just set proper expectations so everyone will just shut up about what's "wrong" with the game and can just sit back and be able to point to a point in the known future when they know the "problem" will be sorted. cuz in 8 months, we'll all look back at this period and wonder why our panties were in such a bunch over something so simple as "patch xyz".

guys, i just heard a rumor that the next update is going to be 10GB, wow that must be full of great stuff!

Rumor has it that duping will be squashed (or limited) somehow.

Unless they're going to completely remove the gift feature or back up save, I really don't see how that's possible. Duping is achieved by overwriting your current game save with an older one, as far as the game and console is concerned, whatever you did after your back up save never happened.

I'm sorry i was gonna bite my tongue but if your headlights in-game look like dimmed flashlights then you need to get yourself a new tv son. I have only good things to say about night racing.

I wasn't going to mention it but...... You can turn your headlights to 'Full Beam'

Just imagine the fire

HAAAA HHAHHAHHA HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAH only this forum can give man a good laugh 👍👍

What have we learned about rumors?

Even if PD them self say you don't believe it until you see it yourself on your tv in your house....

So with that being this 10gb rumor needs to end because if you read the first few pages it obvious that someone just threw that number out there

Doubt it, Just admit it you don't like it and that's the only reason why you said that

If forza 1,2 and 3 didnt set off alarm bells at PD and get the entire dev team sitting up, taking notice and making notes....Im pretty sure nothing short of a car bomb in the office kitchen could get their attention. PD are stuck in the stereotypical ignorant east asian video game development self contained bubble and I would honestly be surprised if sony picks up GT6 after how poor GT5 was. Im 99% sure atleast for the last 2 years sony would have been ramming copies of forza down kaz's throat saying "we want features like this, we want integrated online community like that" ect ect and kaz just kept to the same old same old. I really do hope that PD open their eyes, adjust their developmental attitudes and pick up their game. The fact that GT has not been announced for sonys new handheld is a worrying sign that sony may have dropped the GT franchise for future releases

 

[Samus]

Updates are inclusive of the previous ones remember, so the next update will be on top of the circa 600MB download of 1.05.

Did you read the post right after that where they clear up that his tweets don't actually say anything like that and someone was just getting trolled and believing something he shouldn't?

 

[Bobtehblob]

We should be getting an update very soon, so hang in there!

 

[Destinkeys]

I think the thing is, any franchise that disappoints its faithful only sees the drop in sales on the NEXT iteration. Most were pretty happy with GT4, and GT5p was widely seen as only a 'taster' of what GT5 was going to be (which is weird when you see just how DIFFERENT the final 'taste' actually was) but not the final arbiter. So GT5 sold like hotcakes.

But, unless Kaz is a man of his word, and does update GT5 to be the killer game it needs to be to live up to GT4, Sony won't see the hit until GT6 comes out.

We all rushed out and got GT5 expecting the logical successor to GT4. And got Pokeman instead. Kaz has a limited window to fix what is wrong, because there ARE what seems to be serious challenges coming, in FM4 and Shift 2 (and Shift 3, on the accelerated schedule that SMS seem to be able to make games at!) at the very least. And they will be out WAY, way before GT6 drops. So Kaz HAS to fix what most of us hate (dislike, are mildly irritated at, insert your level of discomfort here) about GT5 in at least a reasonable time frame.

In my case, better AI and another 400 A-Spec races will restore my opinion of PD and Kaz's sanity, but B-Spec remote has me wondering if the have the wrong dosage on their meds...

It's truly quite weird to look at Shift 2 and FM4's announced feature sets, and realize 'OMG! That's EXACTLY what we all have been asking for!' while GT5 and Kaz continue to pretend they know NOTHING about them. If either (hopefully, BOTH) of these franchises get the physics part right, who is even going to BOTHER coming back for GT6?

If GT5 ISN'T turned into what we all want (and expected in the first place) pretty soon...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to drop one of playstation's best selling franchises.

 

[Culkin]

If the next patch sorts out the shuffle race bug ill be happier then a pig in s*** lol

 

[alfredchiwai]

Do you know what PD stands for?


Postponements & Delays

After 2 delays of GT5, we all know the effectiveness of Soony and PD.

So, no suprise will be sprung; just disappointment given.

Sony, like all large companies have a department specifically for researching sales and figuring out what will and wont sell. Sony like all of us know that the ball was majorly dropped with gt5, but the sales were made by the huge hype and expectations.

That is why they has an embargo on reviews so nobody could publish a review stating its many downfalls before it hit the shelves so they could keep all those "hype" pre order sales.

They know aswell as everybody else that unless GT5 is fixed very quickly and its shaky start is forgotten so quickly that its almost wiped from the pages of history....they will have a hard time selling GT6 as quickly to as many people.

Its the research/marketing departments job to look for the many people that are saying things like "After this im certainly not going to pre order gt6, Ill sit on the fence and make sure its worth buying before i shell out for it"

The last thing sony want to do is pump another $80+ million into a title only to not be able to make sales because half of the customerbase has lost faith and wont pre order the next one.

GT5 may be one of the biggest selling titles, but it also has the highest return to store rate of any ps3 title in history (This was told to me by the blokes at the local EB games last time I was in there). Alot of game shops dont even put it on the shelf now because they know it wont move. The hype is gone, people know its mostly ****e and they dont buy it. Unless things are fixed quickly. It will be even harder to move GT6 copies on GT5's very questionable reputation.

Some statistics to back it up would be nice.

If this turns into a chatfest or yet another OMGGT5SUCKS thread, it's going to get locked plenty quick. As it is, it's already about five posts from getting locked right now.
