Nice. So... the cars are up too?

No, they are yet to go live on the Play Station Store.

EDIT: They are now.

 

[Ddrizle]

227mb's. Currently downloading at pretty quick pace.

 

[freshseth83]

I'm d/l it in a minute. I'll see about the tire wear.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

First one to tell me how the new Clutch System works gets a cookie!

Yes, they're in the Dealerships, but the Playstation store is also down for maintenance. Convenient, really, OR, it's a co-incidence caused by... 💡 the downloads!

 

[QQmore]

So basically it's exactly what the patch note released earlier before stated.

Bah, I still need to fix my psn connection issue so I can even play GT5.

This is what I really want to know. As luck would have it I'm out of town for work and won't be able to see for myself till tomorrow night or Wednesday.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Can't wait for someone to give us details

 

[Pit Crew]

Adjust Ride height. Big league race this weekend and excited to see how she handles.

Tuning all week on GT5 when time constraints allow, Priceless

Yeah, I am intrigued as to what changes have been made as well.

We can't give out the full "break-down" until the servers come back online.


No one wants to give out the "offline" information, I think, because it's inaccurate and irrelevant to so many of us, who like online.

The physics systems are still different, though, until otherwise stated by PD.

Just use the clutch offline and tell us what it does!

Edit: I have just recieved word, that... The clutch is "unaltered".
---- This had better be unreliable information or I am going to be quite unhappy.

 

[Chocobos]

I feel no noticeable change in the clutch. Kind of disappointing. :/

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

I've had it with PD. I will try it tomorrow. If there is no difference..
Brace your self - for a new thread is on it's way.

I don't have a steering wheel. You're not the only person interested in the changes, and, I'm just reminding people that the update is available, but, the servers are down.


I'll compare my lap times today, against the lap time from yesterday: 1:50.661 at Grand Valley Speedway, in a detuned DTM car. (405 hp @ 1200 kg)

The BRZ sounds noticeably different from the 86 and FRS. I have hope that PD is improving in the sound department.

 

[ChrisGT]

Just wiped a thick layer of dust off GT5 because I heard there was a "clutch adjustment." Sweet.









STILL GOES INTO NEUTRAL.
Back to studying.










Okay, it is a little bit better.. for those who wanted to know. I can't really enjoy it since my logitech pedals are going haywire as usual. It is easier to slip the clutch when going from a dig. I've noticed the grab point is now almost to the floor instead of in the middle of the pedal. Rah rah, how much is it to ask to be able to powershift 1-2 in a ZR1. You can do it in real life.. and everyone else using automatic mode/paddles shifts unrealistically fast.

This is a video game, I just want to have fun abusing cars. Typical 👎

Download completed and upon loading I'm greeted with.....

Failed loading save data, however a backup data was found would you like to load save data from the backup? Choose "No" to start a new game instead.

Oh boy.....

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Anyone wanna tell how the HSV sounds?

 

[martinseber]

Anyone wanna tell how the HSV sounds?

Think GTR GT-500 Car.

 

[Doog]

So last time around, they messed with the Saleen S7's exhaust. I wonder which car's exhaust they messed with this time.

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Think GTR GT-500 Car.

Have you actually tested it or are you just saying that?

Go play GT1, and listen to the tire sounds. It's a known fact, that Polyphony Digital is making slight progress.

Watched it in demo mode.

Didn't the tire sound stay the same until the GT5 Prologue was released?

Exactly my point. I did say "Slight."
