From Google Translate's Japanese to English translation:



Plus a link I was too lazy to add to this. It just leads to the GTA 2012 homepage.

So I am guessing (not confirming) that he will be adding DLC after GT Academy. This is hinted by "It is then the DLC".

I don't think so, in my opinion he only said that you can download GT Academy from PSN where the DLC is.

Yeah, sorry. I was on my mobile.

I get from it that the DLC is available once the final round starts or straight after.......but we already know that.
 
I've heard rumors that the batmobile from batman begins is going to be in ether GT5 or the next GT possibly.:confused: Can somebody ask him if this is true or not? P.S. i hope it is!:D

Pretty much all it is right now.
 
There was a fake video about that. ^^^ It's not going to happen, but it's not impossible.

This is sort of related, but not important.

I can believe that because everybody was saying stuff like "Can't wait shoot down other drivers" or "Why would PD add that car because they will shoot the other racers." and such. When i read that i was thinking, Really?:confused: Do you really think PD is gonna have machine guns in realistic racing game?:confused: Ether way it would be awesome if they did have it in there! Minisus the machine guns:lol:
 
The "DLC" is GT Academy, which is in PSN. Basically, the last call for it. All in all, he wants as many people to do/try it as possible.

\/ You, fellow friend, are welcome. Now per my request, show someone else a new sign of kindness. Or do something nice daily.

try 2 put more information in ya tweets kaz!!!!
....god d a m n it....:ouch::banghead:

it seems he has more information about granturismo than we......
 
Lets use some logic here. Ive stayed out of the "next dlc release" -conversation, but there is some logical hints around.

1. We know, for a fact i guess, that there will be the twin ring motegi premiere in GT Academy next week.

2. We know, for a fact i guess, that there will be reward cars for GT academy to be downloaded / unlocked either next week or a fort night later when academy ends.

3. We know, for a fact i guess, that many of GT5 players in the countrys not participating in GT Academy CANT have the Motegi as reward so it has to be eighter DLC or an update for them.

What we do not know is if PD has any OTHER cars than the Academy specials available - if they do the time they release Motegi as DLC would be the time..

Makes sense? 💡
 
All he's saying is that the final round of GTA starts next week, and encourages people to get into it. He says that even if you download now you can still take part in the final round.

He goes on to say that DLC will come afterwards. Presumably, DLC after GTA has finished.
 
As of June 1st, everyone with a PSN ID can download GT Academy and achieve the cars for GT5. If the same goes for tracks, then everyone can achieve the tracks when completing GT Academy.
It's any person can download GT Academy even if they don't own GT5, but it's not everyone with a PSN ID can download GT Academy. It says GT Academy has been made available to more countries that can't participate in the real competition.


GT Academy 2012 Download Available to More Countries


The free content, that legendary Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi described as having a place “along our path from GT5 to GT6”, is available to anybody with a PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Network (PSN) ID, meaning players do not need to own Gran Turismo®5...

...The GT Academy 2012 download will now be available in most countries with a PlayStation®Store until 22:59GMT (23.59BST) on 24 June.


It's seems likely that it'll only be made available through paid DLC.

You don't say?
haha :lol:

People don't seem to get that Kaz can't and shouldn't reveal most of what they're doing for the future of GT. Business-wise, it's not smart. Especially with the "broken promises" due to the early release of GT5, it isn't a good idea to continue to let people down.

Reveal everything? LOL, they don't reveal anything.

Its better that way. That way we wont see loads of threads of cry babies on GT Planet complaining they were promised something and they didnt get it just like the launch of GT5.

That's exactly why I had to say this:

This just isn't true, who/what/where have you seen or found this to be factual? There are plenty of devs that make sim racers and arcade racers that show fans what they are doing. They even have youtube channels that have long videos explaining the inner workings. So to give PD the exclusion is not right at all. If it is so stupid to do this business wise, then we should see a slew of game makers dead on the side, not just sim/arcade racers.

Also how was GT5 an early release? Kaz said it was done back in 2009 and then delayed it only to say end of 2010/early 2011 that the game was rushed and not finished. So which one is it. I think I speak for many that it'd be nice if people would reveal all the facts and not the ones that benefit their argument.

They had no other choice but to release it early. People were so angered with the delays that they cancelled pre orders and PD were starting to lose sales. It seems a lot of people have no patience. I just hope they dont announce the release GT6 until they have a solid release date and that they hold off on most of the details. They should'nt give a release date until its six months off release and no more.
 
these days good developers release some info from time to time. Sincerely we (the community) don't have a clue if PD is working or if they are on vacation since 2009, and left one employee fixing the game.

take a look at what turn10 does (i know it gets boring and all, but it's the direct competition). They put news almost every single day.
edit: btw take a look at the last monthly dlc pack. I really don't want to sell my G27 to get a fanatec wheel, but it's getting tougher.

So now it's the fan's fault? You'd think after 18 months people would change it up. Kaz said the game was read to go for 2009, then said mid 2010 and then we finally said it would be ready November 2010. People weren't patient because they were being told one thing then another and then another, which isn't all that professional.

What Kaz should have done is said nothing at all till he was truely ready.
 
When I talk about communication I'm not meaning exact dates and details of their specific operations...

"Hi, we're building X car, it'll be released as DLC on y day"
"Oh in 3 months there will be an update containing x,y,z"

All I mean is a blog that connects with the players. Replies to their biggest complaints and tells us why things can't be done that we ask for, or why certain things are going to be changed. What they really think about corner cutters without us just guessing etc.

That's the problem, because we don't get told anything people here decide to just make their own assumptions about why x can't be done or why y is late. If PD just talked to us and gave us some insight into what they're generally doing and put their ideas to us you wouldn't have 'unannounced 2.06 changes' threads and complaints about those unannounced changes.

Remember back to whichever update they changed the exterior camera. It wasn't in the change log, they just did it. Then there was backlash and they changed it back in the next update. If they just posted a blog with "our thoughts about the external camera" and got feedback on what they were thinking they could have saved time and effort changing it, then changing it back.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh and also when there is DLC, promote it. Tease the fans, get the community involved in guessing what the cars are (like Forza does), build the anticipation. don't just put out a press release and short tweet, INTERACT!
