GT5 "Spec 2.0" Discussion Thread - Read the First post!

^^^^^ 👍 but I hope it's not just the convertibles.


DLC two weeks away feels pretty good. Spec 2 was assumed to be two weeks away, at least, by me.

I'm unbelievably skeptical about the DLC though. I don't want to be, but it all seems too great already.

 

[Machate-man]

Those cars are already pretty detailed inside. They just aren't modeled fully. You can see if you choose to watch replays that interiors to some standard cars are visible.

Well, true, given the News Post:

I assume the gauges (On the dashboard) dont work, but the wheel would turn since the driver's hands are on it.

 

[Bigbazz]

Patch notes look interesting, really interested in the physics changes too.

As for the DLC - I want Spa and a drag strip.

 

[another_jakhole]

101 pages in exactly one week.



I like how the Caterham's body is silky (seelky) smooth. The interior looks like any PC sims interior (with better lighting, besides shadows).

I think people are overlooking that little detail.

Spec II comes 11th so does DLC come 18th?

 

[another_jakhole]

Spec II comes 11th so does DLC come 18th?

That's only a possibility. No one really expected Spec 2 to come in less than a week yesterday. I woke up half dead and almost fainted when I saw the main page.

 

[noisiaturismo]

Wouldn't the Caterhams dashboard be considered realistic, as you would normally won't see details inside?

 

[another_jakhole]

Realistic, but not realistically detailed looking.

I'm lukewarm about this update. I think if they had called it an update I would be OK, but in my opinion it doesn't live up to "Spec II". I'm disappointed that this update contains no new events. I'm disappointed that the new tracks will be DLC and therefore likely won't be used in gameplay much if at all. I'm also disappointed that it does nothing to fix the stupid XP system which should have been removed entirely and the license system been brought back.

To be fair, not everything is revealed yet, so there are still some surprises according to the PSblog. Admittingly, I'm being an optimist, but we should wait for the full announcement before any final judgement.

As for XP, there's no point in getting rid of it now. Everyone can easily gain XPs through seasonal events, and the increased XP's in offline events. This shouldn't be a problem like it was when the game just launched.

The license system is pretty subjective imo. I'm hearing a lot of people didn't like being forced to doing them. The way they have it now, it's more of a win-win situation for everyone. The only difference is that having them is now only more of a show, than a necessity, but at it gives us some XP to those who did it, so it's not completely pointless.

Imo, this does deserve a 2.0 label. Physics and A.I., although we don't know to what extent, have been improved. We got plenty of other, new additional features that we've been wanting as well. This may even be bigger than the Spec 2.0 update from GT5, so that fact alone, I think it deserves the 2.0 label.

Rewind and forward the replay is a good thing.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Like some of us here, I also think not everything has been announced by Kaz yesterday.
For instance, he made no mention of those new [RM] cars we saw in one of the screenshots and yet they're new.
so I'm guessing we're in for a few extras

So, anyone care to start speculationg what other stuff he has left out

EDIT: Just took a look at the Feedback section. So far, Spec 2.0 is bringing 5 out of the top 15 things people want changed....(Speculation, judging by pictures and announcment)

 

[Abraxas]

I think stuff that hasn't been announced yet are minor tweaks.
Yes, RMed cars are not minor but we don't know for sure if they are in spec II or in dlc. Personally I think they will be in Spec II because pic with them is most likely from Spec II intro, not from photo mode.

I also think RMs are for the Spec 2.0, as none of the details about DLCs are revealed yet. Plus, these are pictures for the 2.0 update announcement, not DLCs and such, I don't think.

 

[CCGT07]

Well....:

From the pic;
-Nissan GTR R35 RM
-Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 RM
-Mazda RX-7 RM (Not sure exact RX-7...)
-2011 Subaru WRX STi RM

What I'm expecting;
-Aston Martin DB9 RM
-Lamborghini Murcielago SV RM
-McLaren MP4-12C RM
-McLaren F1 '94 RM
-Ferrari F430 RM
-Ferrari F458 RM
-Ferrari F40 RM
-Mercedes Benz SLS RM
-BMW M3 RM

A handy list of the worlds best or newest race cars available in the game as premium models (road versions that is) with most having relevance to each other and some RMs already in game (DB9 RM vs Z06 RM vs Lambo Murcie SV RM vs R35 GTR RM - 2005+ GT1, McLaren F1 RM vs Ferrari F40 RM - early/mid 90's GT1, F430 RM vs F458 RM vs M3 RM vs ZR1 RM - current GT2/E, MP4-12C RM vs SLS RM vs R8 LMS - current GT3) so they make sense atleast to me anyway The other JDM RMs however seem to be more freelance-ish.

Oh..and here's hoping for atleast a premium Ruf (RGT-8?) so we can have a quasi GT3 RSR Ruf RM.

Fido_le_muet and you two are probably right. Can't believe it. I would probably never go back to doing anything else after the DLC is released.

I suspect that is a clue about the DLC rather than Spec 2.0

 

[Nismo34]

As stated above, its the Spec 2.0 announcment, not the DLC announcment, therefore Its probably more likely to be in Spec 2.0 instead of DLC...

Yes - but the picture is from the new intro? There is no reason at all why that can't be used to reveal DLC content. There was no indication of more RM's by Kaz yesterday. That's why I think it's a clue of the DLC. I'll be happy if I get some more RM's as part of Spec 2.0 but I suspect it will be part of the DLC pack instead.

Either way, we'll know in five days time.

 

[CCGT07]

Who said Kaz was finished unveiling content/features?...

 

[robbo6]

The interior looks like any PC sims interior

Just exactly what drugs are you on?? That looks NOTHING like any PC sim Interior, low res dials. Have you SEEN the SIMBIN Caterhams?? I know you're a Kazolyte but come ON.

 

[Masi_23]

Here's to hoping for new GT300 Cars (Super GT)! Ferrari, Lamborghini, Corolla, etc.

And that masterpiece in GT500: HSV-10! Dear Racing Gods, let them have the sound right! It's immaculate!

ha ok. I might be on drugs, but I'm no Kazolyte.

I have Kaz-fever if that's what you mean, is it?

I was mainly talking about the blandness of it.

We’re making Honda HSV now but may not be in time for GT5.

That was back in June of last year. I don't want to get your hopes up, but there's a chance.

Thanks for the link! Fingers crossed

I wouldn't mind paying for it - $1. No more, no less!

 

[alucard0712]

Are you guys sure that there are RM cars?
Maybe those are really DLC cars which are ready now?

 

[Nismo34]

Why have DLC as an RX7, a Subaru WRX, a Nissan GTR, and a Nissan GTR R34, cars of which we already have? I reckon they look more like RM cars for the Spec 2.0 update. I know Kaz is crazy but I dont think he'd release pictures of the DLC with the pictures/teasers of Spec 2.0 additions...

 

[CCGT07]

Wouldn't it be sensible to put out more RM's with Spec2 and release proper race cars as DLC?

That's the spirit. I know back in my day, a gallon of gas cost $1.50. AMERICAN

Now I just use this instead.

It's a cartoon, it was on American TV (strict enough), this should be allowed. I hope I KNOW MY RIGHTS.
