5 hours to go...

I spent substantial time downloading maps packs for Black Ops recently. Which is DLC.

So thinking the theory is not sound. Not totally dismissible. However it just isn't the case with all DLC.

It is when the DLC is already on the freakin' BluRay disc or DVD in the case of that other system. It just shows they intended to rip off gamers from the onset.

I think Kaz should just say what time & date it will be made available from the servers which service whatever region the user is from.

5 hours to go...

Tick tock. . . Wonder if the fat cats at Sony and PD sit back and enjoy watching the anticipation rise as time come near. Surely they do as well other game developers. Hahaha

Kaz walks over to the update switch. Teasingly acting like he gonna throw it. Saying SYKE! ok that's dumb.

 

[Crumpet]

Hope they include Spa in the track list and update some of the old tracks like Laguna Seca. Doubt they will though

Spa is one of the hardest tracks to acquire a license for, we won't get it.

 

[TankAss95]

1 hour till the 11th here. I won't be able to play the GT5 till the weekend though.

Someone should do an overview thread, once it comes out I mean. Just a suggestion.

LMAO... They are watching all of us being tortured. They are probably reading the posts here, laughing at all of us. I bet it has crossed their mind delaying the update.

 

[Crumpet]

We aren't getting it bang on 11 though, which sucks considering I'm staying up all night.

We could actually get it a few mins before 11PM EST, some updates have happened that.

 

[PAPPACLART]

Its the 11th here in italy. Is it worth fireing the ps3 up to see if Its there, or am I being too optimistic? lol

 

[TankAss95]

Haha! Probably everything we've been told we are getting will end up being false. Instead we will probably he getting more museum cards. Imagine the raging on GT Planet if that actually happens...

 

[Jantsu92]

So 5 hours to go?

 

[toyotsupra]

I think the update will make the game alot better which is good news i hope so

 

[Downhill Dino]

Museum Cards, that would be cool... for me at least... for others...

I'm going to have to boot up the PlayStation myself just to snoop around Gran Turismo and check for updates. If not... then I guess off to Tuesday!

OMG I cant imagine that... GTPlanet would go down due to traffic.

 

[OwensRacing]

Dooo eeeet! Then report back. Please and Thanks

 

[Goshin2568]

So what's the general consensus' best guess on when exactly spec 2 will be released?

 

[Crumpet]

Its the 11th here in italy. Is it worth fireing the ps3 up to see if Its there, or am I being too optimistic? lol

I thought all the updates were released at the same time globally? If not, it's worth checking.

 

[OwensRacing]

I think the update will make the game alot better which is good news i hope so

Updated physics is one thing I am curious about.

 

[Crumpet]

If rollover physics are set online, we'll see a lot of flying Fiats..

 

[Sleek Stratos]

Updated physics is one thing I am curious about.

Same here. Just not curious, so much as wary. I'm quite happy with the physics of the game. Hope it's not tweaked too heavily.

 

[shirakawaa]

Not unless they remove the "god hand" which make them possible essentially only with racing tires.
Look at my avatar: that is the result of the use of the handbrake and average street tires. You can't do that in GT5!

 

[Starfirebird]

Updated physics is one thing I am curious about.

Same here.

That is the top thing i'm waiting for.Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

 

[NEPALII]

It would be cool overtaking a car, while your car rolls in the air and lands perfectly ahead of the opponent. LOL 4 hours and 44 minutes to go...

 

[nt1138]

I see a lot of rollover - whatever it is i'm driving

 

[Downhill Dino]

Rolling online? Sounds good for me! Incredible fun for passing those unlucky ones on Nurburgring. That is... if there's a Real setting and it's on.

 

[TankAss95]

OMG I cant imagine that... GTPlanet would go down due to traffic.

One third of all users would end up being banned due to rage lol.

I trust PD that they will bring some needed life back into GT5. As I have said repeatedly before though, if they do not achieve this, then my future with Gran Turismo is uncertain. I'm not starting any arguments but we all know that there is serious competition out there. Other racing games are looking worryingly tempting.
2.0 will be crucial for me, and most defiantly many Gran Turismo players, as it will decide our future following and supporting PD.

 

[Crumpet]

Then you need something lighter, or less powerful

Or you need to keep away from attempting to drift at Daytona,

 

[Starking]

Well, Kaz just tweeted. Seems like the update comes out after the update (Based on the Japanese tweet.)

Yes, it will be. RT @ bluray1123: @ What is there to maintain that tomorrow at 11 am to 12 pm What is the starting Spec2.0 Kaz_Yamauchi 12 pm update from?

Google Translate is horrible

 

[CrashBandicoot]

What time was it being released again?

 

[NEPALII]

Hmmm Kaz has just confirmed to someone on twitter that update will be tomorrow. Hopefully he isnt talking about Japanese time as in Japan it is already the 11th. Im getting worried now...
