SPA-Francorchamps confirmed for GT5 DLC!

TheCracker
The seasonal events come around quick enough for it not to be a big issue. It will be an incentive for those who haven't already downloaded the DLC to do so.

Seasonals are a joke.... we need real A-spec championships, not the same 5 laps snore fest that are seasonals. Even shift had new events for DLC.
 
Something just dawned on me, how exactly are these DLC tracks going to work online?

They will either be available in online rooms for DLC owners only (something I could see easily becoming unworkable) or be completely unusable online; both of these things would make track DLC a very poor deal. Is this not content that would have been there in the first place had PD been given more time? It would have made far more sense to add this content in future patches for free, however, we know why PD were rushed and why we are being charged for DLC don't we...

I can only see two ways this could go.

Having DLC/not having DLC works fine with other online games, can't see why it would be a big issue here. You don't download the track, you can't race the track online. Simple.

DLC is all part of modern gaming, it has nothing to do with not including content from the off, but everything to do with the constraints of time/staff/money. It also keeps fans playing a game years after it's been released. It keeps things fresh, until they develop a whole new version of the game.
 
Oh yes, another cool track where I can test cars on, and compare my times with real life.

thing I dont get it is why people moan about "no aspec" events, while people can race Aspec races again and again, like seasonal events, or online, where people are forced to actually drive (and survive huge bottleneck situations with 15 other players)

This is first track pack, and I really hope it isnt the last one, lets support this my fellow GT5 drivers 👍
 
Yes, excited for Spa. Its one of those tracks for me like Nordshliefe is. I'll spend hours just hot lapping cars around the Nordshliefe and Spa will be the same way.👍

Yes, but what happens when the online host changes the track to one I don't own - I get kicked? It would be cool if everyone could view it (spectate the online race), just can't race it unless you own it. It would certainly help tease those that have resisted the purchase :)
 
Awesome that we'll be getting Spa. Eau Rouge is one of the few classic turns from the golden age of F1 that has been left mostly as is. Which of course makes me hope that one day we'll get the pre-chicane, pre-sand trap, pre-squared off turns versions of these tracks. 130R at Suzuka in all it's white knuckle glory, Curva Grande at Monza (the high banked oval is just too much to hope for), the long sweeping right hander just before the start/finish straight at Fuji instead of those maddening hairpins and switchbacks. Hey one can hope at least.

Can't be said any better.

I was totally thrown off by the Kart track and would have been disgruntled had it not looked the complete opposite of any other track in GT. It's got so much going on it'd be fun to drive a normal car in their, tooo.

Nah he didn't eff up...

For paid DLC this is the most disappointing DLC I have ever seen...

I would probably be done with GT5 also if it wasn't for my friend's racing triathlon league.
 
To those sitting on the fence on whether to buy the DLC or not, perhaps we should forgo this round of DLC, and wait till more DLC is sold at a cheaper overall package price..after all, price is just a function of supply and demand..

For Spa, we could perhaps turn to other games (I hate to say this cos I love the track, but I don't want to be paying such an exorbitant price). Paying 5 bucks for a single track is ludicrous, when a complete game (say F1 2011, or even rfactor, if you have a PC. This is not the best of comparisons but I hope the point comes across) costs 60ish...
 
What have PD been doing all year? Spa was in development before release and they give us DLC with one track...

Spa is my favourite track in the world so I will get it but I think there should be more tracks and even the cars they are giving us suck. Another Skyline with a "GT" logo on it... I rather have some new Super GT cars and tracks if I am paying for content.

I don't like the way PD are charging us for content also, we have brought the game after waiting for years and they give us a game what felt unfinished and they just come along and charge us with a poor DLC.

At least Spec II fixed things about the game but this DLC is poor.

Yep, it looks like this:

All I need is some bubble arches on mine and some bigger wheels. 👍

I wonder if the GT5 car will be as fast as mine... ;) LOL

I think I've seen your nurburgring videos from the Miata forums. Aren't you an instructor of some sort there?

Did you know you don't have to buy DLC? Some of you are acting like PD is forcing you to buy. The only reason i'm getting the cars because the whole DLC pack is 12 bucks very cheap. I think Spa alone is worth 12 bucks. 👍
 
You know, when i don't like a game... i don't find myself going out of the way to tell everyone "i'm not going to play it", or "i'm gonna drop it", or "i'm going to cry myself to sleep in a pre-pubescent temper tantrum", or "i'm a pus"... instead, i just don't play the game... i don't go to that game's forum and cry about it... i simply don't waste my time choosing to engage in something i don't like/agree with.

And yet here we are, in a forum dedicated to GT5, with 50% of the comments hating on the game the forum was created for.

So what gives? Are all the haters/troll so self absorbed they think everything must be crafted to their specific needs? Sooner or later you're going to learn the world doesn't operate the way you want. You either take what you get, or go out and get what you want... you don't cry about it, and act like you're entitled to anything.

Rant over:
SPA IS GOING TO BE AWESOME
5$ is basically free.

Like I said I love Spa so I will get it and for me to compete on GT5 I need to have all the track in the series I'm in so I have no choice.

I am just disepointed with the lack of tracks and cars. I love skylines but I don't think we need another load of them we just need race cars.

Do we know if it includes the 'bus stop' section of a few years ago or has PD produced it in its current form?
Click to expand...
Yea...I'm hoping for this too. The track was much better with the original bus stop chicane and I reckon this variation would become the most played/raced.
PD gave us different versions of le sarthe/Fuji etc so, I really hope we get the pre 2004 version...ie, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps(2003) aswell as the 2011 track.

Plus, they need to add nicer textures to the leaves, maybe a few different breeds of tree too.
Click to expand...

Sacrifices would have to be made during gameplay if you want better looking trees. 👎 lol

The leaves in Photo Travel locations are detailed for at least one of the places, but it's probably for whatever location you're at. PD is precise in what they do and show the details where they matter.

while they're at it, i want to see different coloured shoe laces while i'm driving the kart. :rolleyes:

it's a racing game.. who cares about different trees.
