So how many updates will it take until PD releases the final edition of GT5 with all these updates already included?

I don't think that will happen, i think that even after a release of a version like that, it will still be updated afterward.

I wonder if you install the game on a fresh PS3, do you have do download all three updates consecutively, or are those three updates crunched into a bigger one which makes the game V 1.03
 
At least Kaz communicates unlike most companies...

Though a form of PP is certainly welcome, I just wish it was more grounded in real world running logic... but it's great for very fast adjustments so you can take any of your cars right into an online race... And it had an option to save several tunes, in prologe anyway.

We'll see... I have a feeling this could be a make or break update for many of us... Patience is not something gamers have...
 
Sometimes I wish the english speaking world would invade japan (with manafest destiny in mind) or vise versa and would whip the other into learning the other's language until we could communicate with ease
 
I hope Kaz understands how important this update will be.
I would imagine it will be make or break for GT5 for most people.
There will most likely only be a few incremental updates after as I am sure they will be starting their next project and GT5 will be left behind as sales for GT5 will have already peaked and the only following sales will be for bundles and the platinum range when it comes to that.
The advantage of a game like GT5 is that if the game was updated to fix most issues then word of mouth would bring people back and encourage more sales.
It reminds me of a RPG for the PC called the witcher.
When that game was released it was terrible but a new version with a 1.5 patch fixed nearly everything and the game has gone on to be one of the best RPG's ever made.
 
I really appreciate the work he's putting in to at least respond to peoples tweets, no matter how random. I am also not a GT5 feature basher. I play the hell out of the game and love it. Sure, there are some things I'd want different, polished, my way, etc....but that goes for all software I use. Speaking on the behalf of software development, I can't understand why there is no direct line of communication. Lots of software that I own there are forums dedicated to them, with developers answering questions and such. Now I'm not expecting to google chat with Kaz for an hour but I can't wrap my head around the fact that there is no where to go for official development discussion. I know exactly where to go to see a change log/bug fixes if the Android software I'm currently running has an update, or I need to report a bug/contact the dev. If I'm having trouble with the forum on my website, I know exactly where to go to speak to thhe dev team. Twitter is awesome for some things, but talking to a dev about software it is not. Now a tweet pointing out a change log with a link to his forum is an appropiate tweet. A forum on PD's site, whatever. There are plenty of devs on their team that could contribute. I'm not asking it be Kaz only, he has to be a busy man and I'm not crying there isn't one. There would be so much less bickering and fighting over what is being addressed and what is being added if there were clear communication. That is the one and only thing this dev team doesn't have. I just don't understand the use of twitter @ 140 characters at a time as a main/meaningful way of communication.

I'm not holding too much hope. We have had a couple of updates now and there hasn't even been a mention of improving the AI or adding qualifying or standing starts/leaderboard for the TG Test Track or anything important so I doubt we will ever see them.

Oh well, GT5 was fun for a while, but now its time to start saving for an Xbox 360
 
Are his last tweets updated in the first post or do I have to search trough the 50 pages in here to see what he is talking about?

Despite this thread, there is about 10 new threads started every day here whenever he 'tweets' so his latest pearl of wisdom shouldn't be too hard to find.
 
i like one of his last tweets from today

google translation
Of questions has become dangerous. Sorry, I go to bed now.

original
やばい質問攻めになってきた。ごめん、そろそろ寝よう。


People probably saw that he was online tweeting alot and started to bombard him with question and the what not... i cant just imagine what some people were probably saying to him. When i read that tweet i honestly felt sorry for him.
 
mastretta_mx
So it seems he gets afraid with some extreme whiner fanboys xD!!, he deserves a break people!
Click to expand...

yeah. I agree. So he should hire a person to actually answer the questions of his customers/fans in a respectable manner instead of using Twitter from his iPhone whilst dropping a log to vaguely answer another Tweet.
Your company sold 6 million units in 3 months. Hire a PR guy. Really. Can someone Tweet him and ask him why he doesn't hire someone else to answer questions? Someone who, you know, has heard of a certain message board where thousands upon thousands of fans congregate?

I have a better idea. Someone tell Kaz to use the Blog on the OFFICIAL GT site for actual game updates and news instead of freaking twitter. I will say it again the last time it was updated was for GTPSP.

The esthetics of PlayStation.com are a nightmare! Which is why I haven't really used the "official" PlayStation boards in over a year. This crap they have now is just awful!!!

I'm glad he uses Twitter. He responds to users from around the world. Most Twitter apps have a built in translator.

Yeah I don't go to the official forums anymore either. I know you from there as well. I'm not talking about the forum I am talking about the GT Blog. I think it would be the best place to update us on all the advancements of the game. Ecspecially after a update.

October 09 2009 is a little out of date for a blog and is the best place to reach your fans imo.

One thing I've noticed and, as far as I've seen, it has not been reported is this tweet from Yamauchi (translation by Google):

Really, I'm sorry. Saved data is already broken, it can not be recovered. RT @ Maaakun19820101 : @ Kaz_Yamauchi data error for you now use or already reading? What is the problem in the future or just a wake?

Worth a check of your savegame and if it's getting near the limit, I think it's better waiting for the next update.

Has Kaz tweeted about fixing the TCS RA menu issue and/or about limiting the rotation of wheels when driving Formula cars?
Click to expand...

Formula and Go karts all self limit as far as i'm aware and feel in my G27. You can keep turning but it's bloody hard and doesn't have any in-game effect.
 
kaz conversation about course maker; what exactly it's about or what it means is anybody's guess...

"Sina_Chiffon" tweeted to kaz
Manufacturers course, make more fun, so I'm over nearly a 100 course. "Is there such a corner!" is filled with 100 courses and meeting new people can make.

kaz replied
Yes, I thought they made it. Expect the next update. RT

"Sina_Chiffon"
It looks like there is a surprise in the next update courses makers. I look forward to after 18 days.

kaz
Please do not expect to wait. Small but important thing is the update center

All translated with google.

I can't see those in this page at the moment:

Ok, now I see them, but only in the RSS feed.

Kaz_Yamauchi: そう、作っていてそう思ったんです。次のアップデートも期待して。RT @sina_chiffon: @Kaz_Yamauchi コースメーカーはかれこれ100コース以上作るほど楽しませてもらってます。「こんなコーナーもあるのか！」と100コース作っても新しい出会いでいっぱいです。

Q: I'm having so fun with the Course Maker that at one point or another, I ended up making over 100 courses. Even after making 100 courses there are plenty A: true, while creating it, I thought that too. Look forward to the next update.

そんな期待しないで待っててください。細かいけれど大事なもの、が中心のアップデートです。RT @sina_chiffon: @Kaz_Yamauchi コースメーカーも次のアップデートでサプライズがあるみたいですね。18日が楽しみ過ぎです。

Q: So it looks like that there will be surprises even in the course maker in next update. I'm looking much forward to Feburuary 18.
A: [Have fun waiting for] February 18 but please don't expect that much. Small, but important things are the core of next update.

ランダムに生まれるコースの多様性と意外性は人間のちっぽけな想像力を超える。楽しいですよね。RT @sina_chiffon: @Kaz_Yamauchi コースメーカーが楽しすぎたのでつい先走ってしまいました。100コース走りこむとなると時間かかるので気長に待ってます。

Q: I'm having too much fun with the Course Maker so maybe I went too far [with my imagination]. Racing on 100 courses takes time, so I'll wait preciously.
A: The variety and uniqueness of randomly born courses surpasses the minuscule power of imagination of humans. They're fun, aren't they?

Terrible day... seen a lot of stuff from Kaz going by, no time to translate though.

Nothing extremely relevant however, seeing from your posts. Thanks!
 
he is also having some kind of conversation with "Ms_road" about aerodynamics, Red Bull was mentioned; But translating with google and babelfish its still hard to piece it together.
