[Downhill Dino]

Translation please? I do believe we already saw this too. We thought something new was tweeted.

 

[BradKinder]

Three hours fourteen minutes!!!!!!!!!

PSYCHE. I looked at the wrong clock.

TWO HOURS LEFT

 

[RACECAR]

Kaz just tweeted that 2.0 will begin after the maintenance ends. Check the thread.

You sure you aren't giving everyone a run around?

You're from California, correct? Thats interesting because you're time zone is abit important for me.

Is an answer in japanese posted since 2 hours ago.

はい、その予定です。RT @bluray1123: @Kaz_Yamauchi 午前11時～午後12時に明日メンテナンスがあるってことは午後12時からSpec2.0アップデート開始ですか?

Ahh with it just being posted i didn't realise it was for a post we know about 2 hours ago. My mistake.

 

[JER_CREST]

I am like a little kid waiting for a nice gift that I have no idea what it is.

 

[Downhill Dino]

9 PM... not tired.

Crap I'm falling asleep. Anyone else on the brink of falling asleep? I'm still doing seasonal events trying to stay awake.

Turn up the volume! Play some music! Get rid of all the "smooth" songs!

 

[Tyger]

Rats, clicked on this thread thinking it was scheduled for 2AM GMT, not staying up til 4, be nice to find it waiting when I get up though, I have this week off and tons to do but this is gonna be *so* distracting

Edit: Awww Andrea, your avatar reminded me I have to order Ico/SOTC HD, might have to do that now actually!

I wonder how long this will take to download. I have to leave house 4 hours after the update goes live but I would hate to leave it downloading / installing. On the other hand I would also hate to get home in the afternoon and wait for it to finish the download...

look at that site to check if the patch is up: https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/BCUS98114/BCUS98114-ver.xml

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Strange... I'm positive we have a chat room. If you have nothing to talk about in regards to the update, or can't post more than "lol" or a single emoticon, why not do something else? Run some races in GT5 to build up money for Kaz' GT-R and the 2011 Nascar vehicles, perhaps!

Off-topic chatter has been deleted. We've all got the same amount of wait-time, people 👍

 

[Crumpet]

I'm curious about the new NASCAR models, if any new brands will be introduced and not just new livery? Nice to see them making use of the license but the amount of tracks to enjoy it is at a slump.

The wait ( 2AM, school night, energy drinks ) Easy.

Eh, no thanks. Firefox says that the connection can't be trusted.

 

[richi902]

it's the ps3 update server

 

[JER_CREST]

Opera does not like that site.

 

[andrea]

Chrome does not dig it either lol

 

[richi902]

i dont know my firefox likes it, atleast i think so...

 

[GT-R_EMOKID]

Chrome does not dig it either lol

Firefox does though.

 

[Crumpet]

You guys are rolling off the topic again.

 

[DaveTheStalker]

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

CodeMasters had it for Toca. That wasn't a AAA title.

 

[Jesus]

Sorry if it has been asked but, is there even a very rough estimate when the update will be live?

Around 2 - 4 hours.

Exactly what does being a AAA title have to do with the difficulty of aquiring a license? As demonstraited with No Porsches in Forza 4, It apparently doesn't mean anything.

Good question but I don't expect much more than some new liveries on the existing Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota models. Maybe some new interior details as well.

 

[SVX]

Can't wait for the update to go live, so the Photomode masters can picture the new cars to death

 

[The Gran Finale]

Around 2 - 4 hours.

Is it true that the update is supposed to go live after maintenance? If so, when does maintenance end?

Maintenance should last one hour and start in about an hour.

They also had Bathurst

GT needs Bathurst... if not now, it's a necessity for GT6

270 people viewing this thread, a lot of people are excited

Cheers, I also feel your pain staying awake. It makes it worse that I have to do 9-5 as well today.
