I was wondering if the base versions of the DLC cars can be race modded after you get the DLC, since the TCs look like RMs.
 
My only real question/concern is the status of DLC regarding multiple accounts on a system. Is it like most other games' DLC and the Stealth cars where it's available system wide, or will it be tied to the account that purchases it.

I would also like to know about this as there are 3 of us in my house that play GT5.
 
Wait. A thought occurred. Is it possible (oh please god be the case) that the version they sent amar will be different than the one consumers will get?

So journalists instantly have the content to review rather than have to jump through hoops to get it?

I doubt it, they were likely just given an early access code to the DLC.

I really wouldn't believe in that... I remember how much I talked to God about the image when I read "you cannot change wheels on standard model car" before GT5 was launched. And it was a MASSIVE disappointment when I found that was true.

Awesome DLC, but I agree with you on the somewhat weird decisions. I would prefer to be able to RM the cars and be able to buy them...

About the colors, I think I can buy more. 1.99 for 100 its cheap. Less than 2 cents each...

Then they get one chance of reprieve. This was already enough to make me go from buying all of the DLC on day one to not buying any of it, because my god how can they do something so dumb as that?



If they don't fix it (or at the very least make it clear that they will fix it) as soon as possible after the obvious backlash happens, I'm very likely going to wash my hands of the entire game outside of weekly event races, because at that point I won't have any faith that anyone in the company has any idea what they are doing anymore. I put up with stupidity like the Photomode restrictions, and the level system imbalances, and the paint chip system, and all of the other common-sense-yet-intentionally-done-anyways bad design decisions. But if they are even going to start forcing similar silliness into stuff that you pay extra to put in the game nearly a year later then all hope is basically lost for GT5.

Pretty dramatic climax...

It's been a year. If they still haven't gained any common sense at this point (and the things described in the OP makes it pretty clear that they haven't) and are now charging you for the chance to teach you that they haven't, I see no reason to hold onto any hopes that the game will improve.

Improve from what? The current version of the game HAS improved greatly from initial release both in bug fixing and content. Yes more work needs doing but at least there are frequent updates.

There are silly issues with GT5 to this day that PD intentionally placed in the game for reasoning that doesn't seem to amount to anything but "because". The way the DLC appears to be being handled shows that not only is it unlikely that they will ever do anything about those ones, but they are hell bent on adding even more as they go along.
 
I have posted this a page back but got no reply so please reply(Not trying to spam or anything, just need to make sure Im not wasting my money):

Maybe it is actually possible to have more than 1 copy of each car. Judging from Amar's pics you receive the cars in the car delivery truck in form of a ticket. Remember that ANY ticket can be sent in GT5, so even though you cant send the car you might be able to send the ticket itself and then redeem it and you get the car. Just me dreaming thats all

Who was the idiot that thought that implementing DLC that way rather than using the RM system already in the game was a good idea? Or the paints being one-time use only? The kart thing I can understand, because that might be a technical limitation, but Sweet Christmas. Whoever it was needs to be shot out of the company with a cannon.

Yes, I cant get my head around it, they HAVE the RM function already, the cars are in the game too, so why not use it??? So stupid!

I tend to agree with this also, if the dlc was cheaper, ok, but with this one use politics it feels like a total rip-off.
I wouldnt be surprised if the paints and tickets are undupeable...
:scared:

I'm glad I'm not the only one having these thoughts. How people can defend PD's approach to GT5 is beyond my understanding.
 
As far as the silly issues - yes there are a number of them, but at least some have been resolved with patching unlike other games that don't bother because theres no money in it for them. I could go on about all the things in GT5 I find annoying (like sounds for one) but this thread about the DLC.

DLC keeps the money coming in for further development and patching. On that point I agree that this DLC is rubbish with the only useful part being the tracks (if in seasonals) but even Spa has no time effects.

Not sure what you mean about "The way DLC appears to be handled".
 
Apparently when owner of the Lounge have DLC track enabled, all people in his Lobby can can use it.

Now this just doesn't make sense. Only those that pay should be able to play the track. I'm all up for everyone being able to race spa, but sponging off somebody else? Will have to see if this is the case.

But what are we supposed to do if we want to race sports cars around a near perfect Nurburgring using a well designed, great feeling Logitech wheel?

You act like you know the future of GT5, and that the situation will never change The DLC isn't even out yet, and already you're throwing a fit about it! :lol:

Anyhow, I don't care right now, I just want the stuff. Where's that "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!" image when you need it?

This is the most silly thing I've read all week.

Perhaps they should make a DLC subscription?

Pay XX.xx amount per (year/month/one off?) and receive content 1/2/3 months before it gets unlocked for those who don't pay. It's been done in MMOs and personally I'd pay for something like that rather than paying one off each time. You could even choose cars/tracks/gear/paints or a mixture or all.

Of course it wouldn't work if the DLC was rubbish. Maybe it would force them to bring out only quality DLC otherwise they'd get spammed with ragers. Current DLC method means if you don't like /ignore

Thing is, are you sure that it CAN be helped? No one can be. It couldn't be helped that PD wasn't able to let us choose the time of day during offline play. Someone stated this on the forum and they knew it to be true so I'm just a messenger. Other things can't be helped that ARE silly, like not being able to choose to skip a song during a race. Sounds easy enough, but why can't we do it? It's still something I'm grateful for because only a handful of PS3 games let you choose your own music. I don't like the fact that mechanical damage options are missing for A-Spec even though I don't used A-Spec, but that's an issue that seems like it can be helped, but why isn't it worked out yet?

I thought that the blur from the colourful lights would look brilliant flowing around a purple R33.
Or any color shifting, pearl painted car. This is something I'd feel completely let down by if we're not able to drive cars in there. Other kart tracks let you, this should not be ANY different. Seems as though Toronado might be right about a different version the journalists were given.
