Looks like good news for next patch, Kaz working on in game race saves

[Dynamic_Skills]

Just had a look on twitter and Kaz seems to have confirmed in game race saves for the Endurance races, great news my PS3 may be able to live a lot longer now.

 

[jhonno]

yep lets make another topic

 

[TAZ71]

That is really good news, I finally going to be able to do the 24 hours race, did you know if its for A anb B-spec or just A-spec

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Yup, here's the tweet if anyone is wondering.

Kaz_Yamauchi: ごめん。耐久レースでの途中のセーブ。ただいま開発中です。RT @andrepeniche: 私は単純に耐久レースを再生するテレビの前に滞在する4、9または24時 間を持ってい ないためGT5を愛しているけれど、残念ながら、私はそれを終わらせるこ とはできませ ん。

Kaz_Yamauchi: I'm sorry. Game saves during endurances. They are currently under development. RT @andrepeniche: as I simply don't have 4, 9 or even 24 hours available to stay in front of the TV to do endurance races, as much as I love GT5, unfortunately it's not possible for me to complete them.

Wow this is great !!! Thanks for sharing this info with us all

 

[british-sniper9]

Yipeeee!
Thank you PD, i can't wait

 

[Lambob]

My wife will be less mad!

 

[JediRage]

Oooh look, my shepherd looks like he's going to throw down some grass my way.

 

[Dynamic_Skills]

I had faith in PD to add this feature sooner or later, bring on those 24hr Endurances

 

[JeffKill]

👍

I guess they feel that we should spend our time in front of the machine grinding for money instead of having to actually finish a 24 hour race in one sitting. How nice of them. Now, what would be great is if you could make a "Team" with some racing buddies and do the 24 hours in stints like the real deal... Come on "Real Driving Sim" let's get real...

*does a white boy dance move*

 

[brambos]

Nice... If he does that, I will finally get to complete my A-Spec career. I'm really looking forward to this! Let's see how many evening I have to spend on it, but -strange as it may sound- I may even do it more than once then.

This will make me forgive Kaz for taking away trading

Good job! 👍

 

[cleanLX]

Yep, now having completed an endurance race means nothing.
I'm 42, married, career, lots of hobbies/activities, but always made plans to get the 24hr events in... now they will mean nothing.

It's in keeping with today’s world though... make it achievable for the lowest common denominator.

Really?

 

[illustratedrick]

Great, as long as we get it on the NEXT update.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Thank God! Now I can't wait to take on both 24h races.

But be prepared to hear complaining from those who think having a save option for enduros is wrong.

Edit: cleanLX beat me to it.

I understand your point, but you will still be able to do these 24h races your way!

I'm debating with myself whether I should say, "Cool story bro" or "Sucks to be you".

Anyway, I'd recommend taking your 1337 skillz to a real endurance race rather than waxing lyrical over your GT endurance race.

 

[Crumpet]

I love the fact Kaz is really trying to change things of which many people are demanding.

Thanks PD

I was just asking myself this very question. Are these people seriously going to complain about the safe function, because it would be "not an endurance race anymore"?

They will mean nothing because others can do them without having to sit the entire 24 hrs? Why is your sense of accomplishment taken away because of this?? You still did it, that's all that should matter.

THERE ARE COUNTLESS AMOUNTS OF THINGS IN THIS GAME THAT AREN'T TRUE TO LIFE. IT'S A VIDEO GAME.

... and the rest of us can do them our way.

How pathetic are these people if they claim completing an endurance on a game without a save is their biggest accomplishment in life. They may not say it but it sure sounds like that.

Is this a Q&A ?
Already reported many hours ago..... in the long established Kaz tweeter thread.
'In development' does not mean next patch, it could take months to implement.

 

[maciej908]

that's good, I prefer that than trading... I'll finally be able to go to dealership and buy the X2010... Level 40 here I come...

 

[JCoop]

Alright!
Now, how about more good news, Kaz; like lifting the trading "ban" permanently and just let us play the way we want? Stop playing Police!

 

[phil bell]

Nice to know they're listening.Anyway even real endurance racers nowadays can only do 3 to 4 hours at max I think,and it's a regulation set by the oragnisers.So this imo improves realism and dosent destroy your ps3 👍

 

[BeerBro]

this is good news indeed. i was holding off on doing the 24hr races for this.

 

[PapaGnr]

Not a bad thing but PD should have done it like GT4(A-spec & B-spec combined). Let us decide how to run the enduros but with the option of using our Bobs. What are they really good for??
