That could explain online mode, if lots of people recommend it.

Somebody came online to a NASCAR room I was in and they were so drunk they kept weaving over to the grass, in the end he gave up at trying but it was funny to watch!
 
I not think the Spec 2 is coming tomorrow even the Playstation Blog EU said it will, I want to wait until Kaz confirmed it or it confirmed on Gran Turismo website.

IMO, it will.
They put some info in the ps blog just to spread the info.
This is probably going to change the gran-turismo.com GT5 section quite a bit.
I suppose they want to release the news in a nice way.
 
Regardless of the size of the backup I suggest everybody takes a backup of their PS3:) Never know how long this update will take......💡

I just switched on GT5 this morning, and in the news feed on the main page the exact same message RoadRunner wrote at the top of this page is clear to see.

However I only just noticed this bit of text at the bottom;

*Please note that the exact times of the maintenance may slightly vary.

:lol:

:ouch:
 
Yes, it's definitely a good idea for everyone to back up their save data.

I don't think that the file itself will corrupt anything, but the massive demand might cause an overload or something, and also because of the long download time, there is more chance of an interruption in your own internet connection.
 
This. Backed up my save data incase something would go wrong in the process.
Thanks for the forewarning!

Guys, sorry for being OT. I never backed up data for any PS3 game.
Can you send me a link where backup steps are shown?
Is it in the upper part of the games menu (cross bar)?
Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind , I've found it... sometimes I'm a lazy guy. (Thanks anyway PirateThom)

With a memory stick inserted, go to PS3 Save data utility then press tirangle on the game you want to back up and then copy and that's it.
 
I like the option for the weather.
Imagine a 5 lap race.4 laps sunny and on final lap BAM heavy rain.

Don't get your hopes up on it being that customisable mate, it would be nice but I can't see it happening. I remember when we were told that GT5's weather system was dynamic... haven't really seen much of that either, so setting weather on a lap basis seems highly unlikely.

With regards to weather, would be great if they made the track surfaces look wet, just a small amount of reflections here or there would do. 👍
 
The only thing I honestly want is more engine modification options, along with the option to set the ECU. More carbon fiber parts would be nice too. Doors and trunk lids for example.

It is dynamic, I don't know how you haven't seen this behaviour yet.



EDIT: reflections would be nice, yeah. They were present in GT3 and GT4, so are presumably missing (except on SSR7) for performance reasons.
 
This is off topic but I think the GT community needs some spy's to get some insider information. Almost every other major has a "spy". MVC comes to mind when I say this because it sucks to be in the dark for so long.

Back on topic for Spec 2 would you say there would be RMs coming with the update or with the DLC.

Personal I hope the DLC is not for the RMs but who knows?

The weather sure seems scripted to me in GT5. If I re-start a race, the rain restarts at the exact same time. Thats not dynamic. Even if you come back to that same race later, the rain starts at the exact same time.

...and Tuscany wet i rally specials. Reflections looks really poor there but it's better than nothing.

I haven't done the weather races in A-Spec, but it's never been exactly the same in free practice, online or in the "rally" (I didn't remember the reflections, it never got that wet at Tuscany) for me.
 
So...
who else will be constantly quitting and restarting GT5 from like 11 till they passout :lol: I'd say start it up at 11 and check every 5 minutes.
