[Sele1981]

So we in germany get the news @the GT5P news too... the update will have 156MB here and it will come in the first half of october wich can be on 14th of october as well...

If we got no update installed then all updates have to been installed and will take 600~ MB... So all Updates before the europe release will have 1,5~1,7 GB so i think the SpecI to SpecII Update will have 1GB or more...

So I don´t think that this will be the big SpecIII fall Update...

 

[Jack]

I dont think it will be the Spec III update tbh. Maybe the citroen concept but thats all. I think it wil just be fixing things that we wont really notice.

But theres always hope...

..... And another 4 hours trying to install it because it keeps failing

 

[Blitz187]

I think its just going to be the new Citroen GT... thats it....

 

[dasgtr]

let's hope the update will fix the bizarre connecting issues that plague this game, as well as the atrocious loading times for online events in general.
Oh, and many of those unnecessary penalties (short cut on Suzuka's 130R and Fuji's 100R???) need to go out the window too.

Keep it on the track, and you don't get the penalties... 💡

What atrocious loading times? If there are a load of people waiting to race, the match-making is quick.

 

[jfedor]

I wouldn't complain if in addition to the Citroen GT we also got the Ferrari California.

 

[Shouden]

there is supposed to be a huge update soon to add at least 3 cars (The California, the new Lotus and the Citroen GT) the Nurburgring and damage (SpecIII??) but I don't know what this is. We will see.

The only things you have mentioned which have been mentioned to be in an update are damage and the Citroen GT. (and of course private rooms and such, but you didn't mention that).
The Lotus Evora, Ferrari California, Nurburgring and Le Mans have never been mentioned as "to be added" into the game, they have only been seen in demo versions - which does not mean anything really, just makes them likely.

If we can't view replays saved prior to the new update, after the update, does this throw the GTP_Registry qualifier data out the window as we will no longer be able to view the replays generated from it?

Re-read it
Any replay BEFORE spec 2 will be unusable. Thats talking about before the EU release of GT5P. So, no, it doesn't affect the GTP Qualifier or the Race.

True, but one can dream, right. and I don't think it is too far fetched that PD will want to test the addition of cars and tracks eventually. so, I would not surprise me if at least the Citroen and Nurburgring are available for download

 

[superwally]

I see, thanks. That is most excellent.

Well, yes you can, but you should be careful throwing around words like "meant" when referring to unconfirmed cars and tracks being included in Gran Turismo.
Just trying to stop the wild rumours becoming faux-fact again...its so annoying to see several hundred threads about how people are disappointed because they expected features that were never announced or confirmed.

They are clearing the rankings, however, which likely means a physics tweak of some sort. This may mean that some adjustment to the GTP Qualifier is required. Also, if the update occurs before event 01 concludes, this may throw a monkey wrench in the works.

Good point, but at least the replays aren't affected. Just have to hope the update isn't too soon.

funny,i hope it will be a.s.a.p....

Here’s my wish-list for the update then: brain transplant for the AI so I can possibly make it too stage 2 of the event...

 

[gator of kana]

Too bad the rankings will be erased, I got some great ranking positions in the Drift Trials and I hate to also see the TEAM-mixis' positions be erased to because those are my benchmarks for me to become as good as those guys some day. They are the best drifters in the game. I sure can't wait to get a drift impression on that new Citroen concept

 

[gemonic]

could this update possibly add voice chat?? it seems to co incide with the rumoured next firmware update. If thats the case the firmware could open up cross game voice chat and therefor PD may impliment in game voice?

just another thought to add to the list

Thanks for the welcome Kart. I appreciate that sir.

 

[kart racer]

SIR!!!You know me better than that.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Ah, he ain't new, he's been here for a while

But, seriously Foot, there are a lot of really good drivers here and I'm sure you and a few other of our friends would be in Division 1 of the GTP_registry. I honestly don't know why I held out on actually joining the registry, I've been a member here for a couple of years.

I was amazed to see that there were 557 people when I submitted my ID. The Qualifier dumped a lot of people that did not participate in the Division seeding.

Having private rooms will be great to match up with people in the Division Events.

 

[kart racer]

Everyone seems concerned about the size of the update.(stole this 💡 from another forum) Could the voice chat and the private rooms already be in the game and they just need to be unlocked?There is something to chew on.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Someone had suggested in an earlier post that perhaps it's a "misprint". I guess the Japanese News says it 2.3 gigs?

I just hope they don't string us along for another week or so before giving us the update "date".

 

[FatLeadFoot]

SIR!!!You know me better than that.

I always respect my elders. See you later buddy. (in my rear view mirror)
