i drive this “July 4 / All Golds in Round 1 / Leaf G (GT Academy) ’11”
But i dont get car! were is it?
Cheated finnish players again?
the qualifying period to get the car is over.
I missed the GT Academy. I was offline for a long time. Is there a way to get the cars after this event was closed?
I don’t think so
actually the times dont count for anything but you may still get the cars……..not 100% sure so worth a try
Actually you cant access the trials anymore.
wth! i havent been playing GT5 for at least a couple of weeks, and when i came back all my data has been lost…now the only car i have is the Toyota 86 GT ’12
Finally got the GTA Silvia
Cant changes wheels on the Silvia GT ac…. :(
Get a flash drive to keep all your progress backed up separate from the ps3 backup.
When it boils down to what we want, lets all be honest. We all want a polished game, like the GTs of the past, Thats all.
Coming from a developer that still can’t program a menu I’m not surprised.
Yes, PD need to get there act together on the menus in GT, they a clunky, slow,
and they look like someone with a basic knowledge of web design put them together.
That said, GT5 is the best game ever.
…And we’re still getting DLC wish lists here, in the wrong area…
That’s because racers want useable DLC, premium content that should’ve been in the game since the beginning!
YES, But there are other, more useful places to do this! Kaz/PD are most likely to check the feedback and forums section first.
Anybody get the new car yet???
Never mind I’m a day early :-(
Coming back to the Link i posted earlier, I wouldnt care much if GT6 wasnt a vast improvement on gameplay or graphics but just a new game with new cars (including the Orignial Prems, DLCs, Standards to Prems plus New models that people actually WANT), new tracks, new events, and a slightly new way to do things (search, online, create etc)
It saves rather than wait every little month for next to nothing, i would gladly pay another £40 for a bunch of new tracks, a game without standards and a new A-spec, B-spec mode that have relevance. GT7 could be the leap in graphics and gameplay with 1000s of unique cars (actually unique and not every year of production). GT3 & GT4 wasnt too different and GT1 & GT2 didnt change drasticaly. i no what your think, DLC run games but surely, i dont kill me for this, Activision have something with COD by having change but not spending a fortune on it MW1-3 all the same just new maps, guns, and basic set-up.
GT6 for PS3 & GT7 for Ps4 (with new wheel including handbreak and paddleshifts that DONT rotate).
Does anyone agree?
Double plus UNO
Only one flaw I noticed; People are being disappointed by the “little changes” in the CoD games, but for some reason, some force is making them purchase all of the new games every year. The same thing happened with NFS, only now, since the games haven’t been all that great for the past 7-8 years, people are actually deciding not to purchase a new NFS game. I have a feeling that the same will happen to CoD is something doesn’t drastically change or improve.
Although, on the other hand, GT games aren’t like these series’ at all; they aren’t coming out every year, and there’s obvious improvement from game to game (well, not so much GT5). But considering PD’s past capabilities, they can pull a brilliant game out of their hats next time. They have the capacity. For now though, I think their current game is a bit screwed – there’s too much wrong with it to be fixed entirely, but there’s a damn good amount of things they CAN STILL DO to make this game better than it is now. I’m sure most of you have seen my rants…
Either way, PD will have to spend a fortune to make GT6 as good as or better than GT5 was supposed to be – there’s no “little changes” involved with it (no standards and/or under-featured content is unacceptable for a GT game, for one thing – this issue would likely take years to fix with GT5 considering how much work output is being placed into the GT5 department and being saved for GT6 development). Maybe for GT7 (or as Youngun said, GT7 could be another leap, then minor changes again) could have this small amount of changes like GT1 was to GT2 and GT3 was to GT4.
What I think PD should do is some sort of collaboration with another development company/studio to get work done faster. T10 did this with Forza Horizon, and it’s looking like that game could be one of the games of the decade – brilliant sim physics, great graphics, great car list, and racing situations most people can enjoy. It doesn’t look like it’s loosing any of it’s “Forza feel” due to this dev. collaboration, and I think the same would go to PD with GT6 or 7 fi they were to collaborate with another dev.
PD has def gotta consider implementing Regional Specific race Series like Alms DTM and the Australian Race series, with specific cars modern and classic. Im not sure if GT6 can afford a 60 percent Japanese car list and mediocre ASpec modes followed by a BSpec mode with no emotion. (I know hes an A.I. but bear with me).
PD Agenda for GT6 has gotta be more balanced to better accomodate a Global Racing Fanbase (console). It cant always be about Kazs favorite car or location.
agreed PD have the experience and the know how but dont forget between actual cod games is 2 years due to different developers which PD could do Tourist trophy one year and Gran Turismo next and split development through another studio, or add a third option with a more arcade/ Freerom line like forza did but its too ‘not PD’, making it then a 3 year life cycle (2 per console). Everyone mowned about the little changes to COD but year on year they out sell each other, Just like BO2 will do this year. and yes N4s went stale but i think its on the up again.
Even if GT6 isnt a huge improvement but an improvement none the less, I would buy. i would love gt6 to be a launch title but thats still over a year off so rather soon than later me thinks, Stop gt5 work and move to gt6, no one will be happy so just let it be. With the work left to be done they may as well great a new game. btw Wheres my Nike One PD? need more like this…..
Pd should just make the good things better and forget about the rubbish
^ No, I’d have to disagree with that. Think of it like practicing music: work on what you don’t know, not what you know to get netter at the piece. (Although in these terms, it would be “work on the broken or unfinished parts”).
I agree because then everything would be even good thinking but it would take time, but worth while
Well, 90% of Turn 10s cars are apparently outsourced to Indian and other countries for scanning (might explain why many cars have the wrong lines, eg E36 M3,R32,R34,R35 Skylines) but atleast they get them made fast.
Not sure about that, but when I check out the pics on our sister site they look good to me.
They look good under certain light but sometimes they look completely plastic
Wonder if Sony could hire a”temp” agency (Codewriters) to laserscan a list of manufacturers models for PD and send them the data to implement properly into GT5 DLC or GT6 Disc copy. Is that even possible ? Not an IT Guy, plus an off the top of my head Idea.
In anycase, DLC without a better Offline ASpec Upgrade will IMO feel hollow.
Any cars which are in the game have to be done by hand, which is why it takes so long.
I don’t care if they came from India, china, Mexico, America, Germany, Japan, Korea, France, England, just make happen….
It’s a shame, because excluding my region at this stage of GT5’s life cycle is giving me a real high probability of losing interest in this game altogether and not really bother about any further DLC. I expected to be able to do the challenges for the prizes at the very least, even if there wasn’t any localised leaderboards to be placed on.
Safe to delete GT Academy?? Hi, i would like to delete the GT Academy 2012 Game from my harddrive….. but i want to be sure to have all the prizes for GT5… so anyone know if it’s ok to delete it? because this game take near 4G on the harddrive and we can’t play anyway because it’s over… I guess it’s ok to delete it and keep the progression data to be sure to have the prizes…. I would like an answer Thanks
It should be, but don’t quote me on that. Do a bit of research and maybe see if you can hunt down a contact link on PD’s website and ask them about it before getting rid of the game itself.
It’s safe to delete once you’ve finished all the challenges. I did it a few times because it was slowing my load times & even wouldn’t load sometimes. Your progress is saved on the hard drive!
Best to do it when you have all your cars
I wouldn’t do it my friend.
IMO if Famine hasn’t given advice on whether to delete GTAcademy Demo, dont do it
perfectly safe, i deleted and still got my cars come through…..
I would love more classic and new muscle car pack added
I agree-all classics should’ve been premium from the start.
^ There shouldn’t have ever BEEN a standard or premium classification from the start. It just isn’t the GT way.
Good read, Youngun
Agreed my first time reading it thanks for the read Youngun
on a slight change in note, anyone read this…
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/07/02/gran-turismo-6-what-polyphony-needs-to-do
lets hope PD staff browse the web
That’s been posted numerous times before..
… but it’s the first time I and probably many others read it. Thank you, Youngun.
Great read. I sure hope PD have seen this article and will take it into account while making GT6. I really hope GT6 is officially announced for the PS3 at the Tokyo Gameshow 2012. I mean, what better place to announce it? And finally, it better be awesome and announced for the PS3. I feel that I need to get more out of it and GT6 would be perfect for this. Thanks in advance PD.
PD, and Australian DLC pack would be nice.
Ford Falcon V8
FPV falcon
Holden commadore v8
hsv v8 clubsport
A few 2012 holden and ford v8 supercars and Mt Panorama. aka Bathurst.
yeh,brockys VK,it raced in europe too,there was a VL in the btcc also
Wheres the Australian Love Kaz? Do we simply miss out on everything?
Its not just Australians that miss out..
I’m ready for Gran Turismo 6!
hahaha! crack another one please :P
GT1 through GT4 there was no “online patch” or DLC, but I was so satisfied with the car roster.
GT5..it took a year to make the game as polished as GT4 was on Day 1, so whats happend to PD?
Sony need to fix the situation there asap.
If Sony can blow money on Wonderbook, and splurge +50 million dollars on Killzone game development (that barely sells more than a million copies) ,PDs team needs to be bolstered. And these stupid side projects must not hinder game dev time !
How many have forgotton?, at first we “thought” 1000 premiums, and what did we get?
Its the same kind of misleading info we got regarding car distribution here.
How stupid does PD think we are?
Wake up PD, we love the franchise, thats why we voice concerns, but Im sad to say, GT is slowly becoming a Nissan infomercial.
If Forza was multi platform I’m afraid that I would have left the gran turismo along time ago!
I still remember GT1
You could take out some aggression playing Dirt Showdown. It’s no sim but it’s fun.
If they think holding back on cars is going to get me to watch GT Academy, they are sadly mistaken.
Just waiting for the next car, feels like for ever…
PD will need to supply some REALLY thorough content to compensate for the several bad decisions made.
Hopefully stuff right off the top of the feedback section.
Absolutely that is the only way forward for pd
Since PD doesn’t exist without us, and since we are all PDs unpaid beta testers, the least they can do is listen to our feedback.
I imagine the reason they are doing this is to keep GT Academy in our minds. Hopefully get more people to watch the show.
It’s a cheap marketing ploy.
I must admit, I love reading my GT brethren voice their opinions.
I’ve been reading back through and I didn’t see any jokes about 6 years to make a game, 2 months to send a car… Kinda disappointed.
After everything in PD’s history of being slower “than expected”, you really gotta wonder about that GT6 timeline, and how old you’ll be and where you’ll live and work by the time you see it.
That’s true im 21 I might be a gas safe plumber or I might be dead
smh, whatever happen to personal preferences I owned FM2 – FM4 and GT5 (played GT1- GT3 back when i couldnt give a crap bout circuit racing ). Both games got Pros and Cons but at the end off the dat its still about driving/racing/tuning car on your favorite track. You fan-boys are sad, If you havent played GT5 or FM4 as much as you played the other keep your OPINIOS to yourselves unless its FACTS. I love both games but I love Forza more and Its the reason I came back to Gran Turismo but GT5 was a waste imho for a few reasons (due to how long it was in development)which I wont state but enjoyed it for what it had to offer. Let hope GT6 delivers.
No. People have the right to post their opinions on these things whether you like it or not.
Look we have a great game but yes I agree with many of you, we don’t have the best cars and the most up to date cars but hey if PD want to do that let them. Don’t moan its a waste of time. I love the game two years on and I find it thrilling still. Yes there could be more DLC’s and better graphics but why complain? Forza don’t have the history or the simluation feel I it. To me it feels unrealistic. Forza don’t have the same unique fan base like GT does. Yes the sound isn’t the best but hey so what? Just play and enjoy or go to the crappie Xbox and Forza. Don’t sit wasting valuable time playing. I mean I only and posting because I am in London and unable to acres the game until I return to my home time.
Tell
Tell em how you feel LIL_Law_Man!
“but why complain?”
Because if the consumers don’t complain, the product can’t get better.
That’s it that should shut up every one that’s saying stop complaining be happy with what you got
Well when Kaz stipulates on more than one occasion that he takes GT5 players suggestions into mind during development process , he kinda opens that door to hear complaints. CIP When GTP users “suggested” dropping BSPEC from the Seasonal schedule ( knock on wood) we havent seen it for a month plus.
^ THIS, is so true. I hope it’ll be the same for GT6 with only A-spec just like the GT1, GT2 and GT3. :)
Oh yeah, and you’re also right about Kaz taking complaints as something helpful for his games. +1 Pit Crew!
High Fives TokoTurismo :)
We don’t necessarily need DLC, but Updates (maybe in the form of DLC somehow) is a must. There’s SO much missing and broken and/or unfinished things. We should “complain” (or a better term for it, “constructively criticize”) about things that can be done to greatly to improve the game, and are very simple to do, like an A-Spec pack. Plus, as some already stated, player feedback (especially complaints) can help fix major problems – one MAJOR one I have right now is the messed up sound model. When you’re near a car, your car’s engine sounds shouldn’t HALF themselves and have the opponents car nearly DOUBLE. The previous sound model was fine compared to this. This is coming from someone who usually could care less about engine sounds and other in-game audio.
Wiki lol Forza has 100000000 polygons ONLY in the Menus.. in game,its low poly count,like always
Still Plastic
I highly doubt that Forza 4 cars have 100 million polygons at all, that kind of number is beyond next gen capability evenl. The Autovista cars have 1 million polygons and the cars in gameplay have 300,000 polygons aprx. The Premium cars in GT5 have 500,000 polygons and the standard have 25,000 aprx.
@Wiki The lighting system of the game causes that and not the car models itself.
^ How do you know if it is beyond next gen capability, if you don’t know what the next gen beholds?
@KoldStrejke, you missed graphics and sound.
GT5 has better graphics, more detailed cars and its photorealistic, FM4 has 1,000,000 polygons but looks like plastic.
If you want to hera the real sound in GT5 you have to adjust it to large theater, being there the sound is equal or better than FM4.
Stop saying they sound like vaccums!
I’m sorry, but raising the volume in a fancy theatre system is not a fix for GT5’s aweful sounds (volume is not equal to quality). It’s like saying that lowering the volume when playing NFS Shift will fix the sounds… No, most sounds in GT5 are extremely flat and artificial. But this is not what hurts the most, what’s worst of all is the the terrible selection of samples (seriously, making a V8 sound like a V6 is ok to you?). Although I’m not defending Forza, I have to say that for what I have heard, they make an outstanding job in the sound department, sure they have their flaws, but almost 90% of cars in Forza are accurate to their real-life counterparts. Forza has great and accurate sound samples and sound effects that feel “alive” if you wish, without being horribly hollywood-ish exagerated and distorted like in NFS, which to my opinion is a torture that only a testosterone filled 15 year old child would like.
With this I’m not saying that I will ditch GT5. I’m saying it because I care for the game and wish that someday it will regain it’s title as absolute king.
I Can definitely contest the sound of the SuperBee, Charger ZR-1 90 Vette and some others as being flat generic engine notes. A V8 sounds like a Caged Lion not no whispy 55 panel truck. Adjusting the volume has yet to fix that lol.
I don’t know what the next generation will hold but considering that 100million polygons is 100 times more than what this generation is capable per vehicle I doubt the next generation will have that detail.. Hell I doubt even the GeForce GTX 680 would be able the handle that many polygons and that is one of the fastest GPU’s publicly available.. Also considering the amount of time it would take to model a vehicle with 100,000,000 polygons I would doubt that we will see that kind of detail in the next generation.
Tuning: Forza 10, GT5 6
Tires: Forza 8, GT5 6
Physics: Forza 8, GT5 7
Tracks: Forza 8, GT5 6
Love: Forza 8 GT5 10
Bullcrap
whoa chill there, forza has tires and tuning, but the rest is all gt5
Sounds like you should switch to Forza!
Sounds like you should change your game.
I think you got the physics wrong way around mate and im unsure about tires but
That Rating list is laughable
GTFO
Why so long? Could’t they just give us the cars in diffrent DLC’s at the same time? Update to the game could enable that. It took me two hours to get the last gold in round 8, and now I have to wait 2 month to get the car?
Be happy to get it. They don’t need to give them to you.
@lil_law_man Actually they do have to give them as we earned the cars as defined by the GTAcademy rules agreement.
Okay, I simply don’t understand that comment “They don’t need to give them to you.”
For one thing, they don’t “need” to give us cars that are already in-game, plus a few stickers?
And after them announcing that you’d be awarded these prizes by participating in GT Academy then “not giving them to you” – That’s just plain unacceptable. If you have any reason to think that’s acceptable, please share.
Not sure about you guys, but I feel we need a DLC/update for different tire manufacturers. The tire wear model went from bad to horrid – I did a 23 lap race at Cape Ring last night, ran racing mediums on my CR-Z TC – had to pit every five laps. It is ridiculous and unrealistic that I could only travel 21.95 miles through 165 turns in 5 laps on a set of medium compound tires. I know some people are going to say “check your camber and toe”…been there, done that (I went up from 4 to 5 laps)….”use racing hard”….oh wow I can do 8 laps only which is even more ridiculous, but lose 3-4 seconds per lap…”use a wheel”…not much change….”you’re going into the turns too hard”….this is a racing game and you are supposed to drive hard, of course with care not to scuff/rub/skid into corners, but I did pussyfoot the car to conserve tires and get to the 5 laps that I get.
Let’s take this into account. A few weekends ago, the NASCAR Nationwide Series (using these as they are heavy race cars – 1400kg) ran at Road America (using this course as this is similar in length/turns to Cape Ring). These guys were going about 24 laps on their tires – I am going to assume that they are hard compound – that’s fine. On a set of mediums – probably 17 they would get. Transfer that to Cape Ring and lighter car, but a drop off since the CR-Z is front drive – we should be looking at about 14-18 laps on racing mediums in realistic terms.
PD let’s get realistic on the tire wear. Give use different manufacturers and costs so that we can choose the best tire that suits our style.
something wrong with your copy, that doesn’t happen to me
Ok, but I don’t think that’s nesseccary. What would really be nice is that they would show how many KM/MI the tires have before ware point. Anyways, why did you post that here?
Amen TokoTurismo.
Whoops wrong conversation.
Good news to all my fellow GT racers LOL and metamamophamilplix, the Dealership has been updated. Looks like we have mucho Zondas,Deltas, and a few Stratos. Sorry if I spell your name wrong friend.
Hey everyone, incase you haven’t noticed, you don’t have to ‘switch’ to Forza 4 – you can enjoy both. Idk why I see people posting “I don’t want to switch to forza”. What’s wrong with playing both?
I was looking for a cheap Xbox since the release of Forza 4 and got a free one from my cousin. The only thing I had to buy was HDMI’s, a wireless adapter (since it was the 20gb first generation), and Forza 4. All I spent was about 100$. And I’m sure there may be better deals out there.
Anyway, getting forza was the best decision I’ve made since investing in a wheel for GT5. Of course, nothing will ever drag me away from GT, but Forza is incredibly fun. The physics are more arcade-y in my opinion, but then again I don’t have a wheel so I can’t fully judge, but it still a great game to pass time. The cars are great (they don’t look great when racing though), they sound awesome, and the customization is jaw dropping. In times like this, when GT5 is looking slow with nothin to do, FM4 is what I turn to.
People ‘refusing’ to even look at forza really need to loosen up. Seriously.
ignore your message & your FORZA Holywood style game………
I bought an xbox and a copy of Forza 4, and didn’t bother with GT ever since. The only thing that maybe could draw me back to GT5 once in a while, is hotlapping in the night, or hotlapping Spa, as those are the 2 things Forza does not have.
Other than that T10’s installment beats PD on all fronts hands down, it’s the next gen racing game GT should have been.
Forza 4 still doesnt beat it in physics everything else is better i admit scince my brother has forza i know but its sad to know
@e30 freek: How are GT’s physcis better than Forza’s? I know one issue with GT5’s physcis is that you can maintain speed during a drift, which is not realistic, while in Forza you actually lose speed when drifting.
–@mUONIULA yOU can loose and gain speed during a drift ( –____–)
You dont always lose speed and i think forza physics are a bit arcady especially in drifting other than its better overall
but il never switch to forza my money and my heart will stay with the gt series
Yeah, I was a competitive drifter, now just a casual drifter, and GT5 hands down has way better drifting physics.
@GTrf your the kind of people I’m talking about. Why are some of you so against forza?
Oh COME ON guys. Its better to have both games, and did I tell you I’m fan of both game as well because the two have cars that people actually care about? Don’t stick to only one game, its stupid to do it that way if you know what I mean?
I’m telling this to the Forza fans as well.
Amen, TokoTurismo.
@R34EVO9: Really? Then explain why the top times in GT Academy, sliding the car through turns was the quickest way around the track.
^ True
Im confused, if you invested in a wheel for GT5 how come you say you don’t have one to compare FM4 and GT5 driving physics?
@Pit Crew I would love to have a wheel to compare FM4 to GT5, but I don’t have that kind of money. At the time I got my wheel, I never thought about getting an Xbox, so I didn’t care much about compatibil
Compatibility. I just got the best (arguable) affordable wheel for ps3 (Logitech G27). If I knew I was getting an Xbox earlier I would’ve gotten something that could be used across all platforms. Oh well. Maybe some day I’ll upgrade.
Thank you Dekropttiv. :)
@Dekropttiv Oh I See. Dang thats gotta hurt but I must say you took it in Stride Bro
@e30: Your heart will always be with GT? You can play both.
I agree with Toko. What is it with people thinking they have to pick a side, like it’s some kind of war?
@MuoNiula I’ve played forza on my little brothers x box it is ahead of gt in most areas but I just don’t like it not because I hate forza it’s a good game but it doesn’t suit me that’s why there are lots of racing games to suit different people
rus google translate
Yeah, I was a competitive drifter, now just a casual drifter, and GT5 hands down has way better drifting physics.
@GTrf your the kind of people I’m talking about. Why are some of you so against forza?
It’s free. Just be patient.
Asking a racer to be patient is asking him or her to watch paint dry!!!!
@tpark103, so you’re a racer.
Ahhh this is a racing gamie isn’t it?
I’m sorry sorry sorry bro didn’t mean to attack you. Im not a pro or anything just very competive. Lol I’ll race my wife to see who will make the most money first. Which is always a win win for both of us. I’ll race an old lady with a shopping cart LOL (just joking)
google translate: I understand. It’s just a test of patience and endurance. Question is who has not passed the test in comments???
What do you mean google translate
What are you translating
So the person who complains will not be aloud to spend their hard earned money on the next product that that come out? Yeah OK so the more we complain the longer PD will make us wait for Sony to make another 20,000,000.00 profit? I’m confused by your post
He possibly cannot speak english so he translated so calm down
I play GT5 and Forza 4. Their both quality games. To put it simply GT wins hands hands down on driving physics and Forza wins big time on engine sound, other than that i think their pretty even. Just my opinion though.
@sre101 Amen. I played a demo version of Forza 4 and enjoyed every minute of it. That said, I prefer playing GT because of the more realistic physics and tracks. It depends on whether you’re willing to sacrifice realism for eye candy. I’m not, so I stick with GT. :)
To be fair, the demo physics is nothing like the full game. I have a Fanatec CSR and IMO, Forza has better physics.
@MuoNiuLa Well, when I say “demo version” I mean the stripped-down version of the final release they distribute to stores so that you can try the game and console before you buy either of them, not like one of the demos they send out over Xbox Live Marketplace months in advance, so I would imagine that the version I played is pretty close to the retail version. :)
Oh for a also has better trees. That’s it lol
I’ll forgive you Kaz…. if you add an E36 BMW M3 in the game ! :)
Finally, someone that mentions the E36! I know that the E30 is legendary, but there is nothing like the old dolphin face.
Yes, Yamauchi San. There would be two at least that will forgive you… (again, if you ad the E36).
I would love the e36 my uncle had the 1998 evo estoril blue
And make that 3
the whole “if you got a problem with GT5 go play the other game” is a silly argument.
Why?
Well.
1)We have been fans since GT1.
2)This means we love the franchise and hate seeing it dwindle this way.
3)Im used to GT being perfection personified, and see silly decisions dictate its direction is pitiful.
Exactly. What this “problem-with-GT5-go-play-another-game” people don’t understand is that if we didn’t want to play the game, we wouldn’t be complaining.
I’ve too been playing since the 90’s so it hurts that other lesser games are doing things that GT could’ve been doing since the PS2 era.
Yes i dont like it when they say go play forza or something its only because we dont want to lose what we got
I have only been fan since gt2….
So if people aren’t happy with the dlc here & the car selection in GT5, why don’t they go play Forza 4 or some other racing game? They could sell their ps3 and buy a used xbox 360 as well. I’m not complaining or anything, but I just want to know why people just don’t move on to another racing game rather than stick with one that they just complain about?
Because we are true Gran Turismo fans and care. If we didn’t, then we would be playing another game already without saying a word.
Forza 4 is extremely tempting but rather than switching to Forza, I would love to see those things that make that game so nice in Gran Turismo. GT is better, so it enrages me that they can’t prove it. I know it could be technical difficulties on behalf of PD, but you can’t help t think that it almost feels as if they don’t really care.
wow, that does indeed make a lot of sense. I play Forza 4 often because I’ve gotten into the series because there wasn’t a full GT title for a while between GT4 & 5, but Forza never felt the same to me. I believe that GT has always been better too, I just wish that there could’ve been more done to GT5 before production.
It does feel like that PD doesn’t care so much and that Sony seems to focus only on profit. I think the next GT5 dlc, Kaz should look back at the past GT titles before thinking about adding anymore content to GT5. Then, maybe things will turn around a bit for the GT series.
Why don’t they release it all at once?
Most likely server issues. Distributing 70 million cars and 10 million driving suits to 10 million people at once would be very hard on the GT5 servers.
10 milion people? well…GT academy played 1 milion people…it’s still cause of server issues but I don’t know where did you get this number
@TeamCZRRacing WTF? Firstly there was only 1 million people who played gt academy. Secondly, at least 50% of them diidn’t even get any golds, 50% of the people who did get golds didn’t finish every race. and Third, this is probably a distraction to prolong the game, i’m sure their servers can handle it.
just a test of our patience :D
@TheEzekiel and TooMuchGrip Well, you get what I was saying anyway. Paid DLC, that’s one thing – fewer people download it because they have to pay – but distributing an item to at least hundreds of thousands of people is quite another. Hence why they’re not releasing all seven cars and the suit all at once. Assuming 500,000 of the people who played GT Academy 2012 got gold on all events, that’s 4 million items that PD has to distribute, and to do that all at once would be insanely hard on the servers.
^ One car per day then, and a warning of many online disconnects during sending periods. Problem solved. A WEEK per car is NOT necessary at all.
Something I don’t understand; people are jumping to conclusions that we won’t see any DLC until this schedule ends – data to back this up, please? Who knows, we could get a car pack later this month, but I really don’t know what to expect considering the poor decisions made by PD in the last month or so…
Why else would they try to spread out the release of cars?? They want us to continue playing but its had quite the opposite effect!
Maybe because we need time to “break in” the cars? If you got nine cars at once, would you drive them all that day? No. I still haven’t driven cars like my CR-Z TC, because I was preoccupied with other things. If you’re that desperate, drive the in-game Silvia. Same experience.
I havent touched the leaf i dont think il do more than ten miles in any of the cars because they are all to old
How do you “break in” cars that already exist in the game? That doesn’t make sense… Even the tuned cars are possible to be made in the game. So you can simply take the stock vehicles out for now, and now you’ll have to wait 6 weeks for the tuned cars if you’re unsure of how they’re tuned.
I don’t find that logical. And do you REALLY need a whole WEEK to get used to a car? At most it would take me 4 hours to get used to a DIFFICULT car, and that’s usually only when I drift.
And it doesn’t matter if they send them all out at once, since you’ll have plenty of time to try all of the cars.
I’m sick of people constantly mentioning about how much dlc forza has gotten, what ye seem to be missing is that forza are releasing dlc that mostly consist of cars that were meant to be on the game in the first place, 10 dlc packs is it? Which pretty much adds up to way more than what you paid for the game in the first place…..just in dlc! That’s being ripped off if ever I saw it lol. Meanwhile gt5 gives us so much free stuff, so many updates etc. So stfu complaining, if you have such a problem with it then just stop playing it! I’ll leave ye all to b*tch and moan now while I go and have some awesome racing with my mates online.
Not really. Pretty sure the new Viper wasn’t out when Forza 4 was released. The DLC Forza gets is 99% cars people are genuinely interested in, cars that are awesome, cars that people want to drive.
And in that respect, GT5 failed pretty badly. Notable “meh” cars in my opinion: Leaf, Countryman, S-to-Premium Jag, ’66 Beetle, the three or four Toyota GT86s/concepts/FR-S.
Even Forza had the E30 M3 from the start.
E30 m3 is wanted big time but still im hoping
Do you have proof those cars were ready to be on the disc? Didn’t think so, so your comments are pointless.
At least Forza’s got them. And what guarantee you have that our DLC pack hadn’t been designed already before release even if it wasn’t in the disc?
@HuskyGT The fact that each new update before a DLC pack is released is what actually plants the cars in the game – they’re just sectioned off to us until we buy them. This isn’t something that only PD does, either: EA has been known and criticized for it, as have several other game developers and publishers. Besides, Kaz said sometime before GT5’s release that he was against DLC.
I actually love Forza’s car list. At least THAT has cars I wanted, unlike this one, knowing PD… Such as the Scion Tc 2012. Hope to see the Scion iQ 2012 on there as well cause I KNOW PD isn’t going to add it…
The proof is right there when you look at the cars in the dlc, yes some are new I know, but most are cars that I would’ve expected to be on forza in the first place. So my comment isn’t pointless. If ye love playing forza so much, and like paying so much money for dlc then stop playing gt5 and just go play fora ffs , and quit yet whinging on here.
@ imprezaaddict,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rant and moan about how all standards should be upped to premiums, but when they start do do that you say, “meh”?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What is wrong with you!?
@sepulturite: Last time I checked, this whole site wasn’t here just so people can praise GT5, no matter what. If you don’t know how to tolerate differing viewpoints and opinions, maybe you should be the one who needs to stop posting.
@gamerdog6482 Want a cough drop? You’re going to need one after yelling that loud.
Also, take a chill pill – ImprezaAddict was simply sharing his opinion on things, which happens to be different than your own. No need to insult him for it.
@sepulturite:
Could you give me an example of which cars you would’ve expected to see in Forza 4 from the start? I’ve got plenty of time, so feel free to list every single one. Remember to include the year of the car.
The only car i want is the GT-R Black Edition.
There’s one in the NCD right next to the Spec-V I think.
Trust me, you are not missing anything besides the blue HUD and the LED lights. Other than that it’s just a Spec-V powered R35 with the regular GTR’s over weight.
Then Purchase Car Pack 2 if you want it so bad!
I think I would care more if the cars were tradable. Since there not, I don’t really care if takes 6 weeks to receive them.. (C’mon August 29th)
If I could trade them for other colors? Ants might be eating in my pants??

Thanks for showing me a picture of your room or something……………………………………………….
Yeah I didn’t understand this either… What, exactly, is this?
It’s sad how everyone is talkin mess about pd. If u guys ever drag raced in ssr7 or on route x with real racers u will know that the last academy r35 gtr was actually much faster than the original r35. Yes its true that it is going to take longer than expected but from me and the team I run with (limitless performance) and along with other teams like GME, Prospeed, W.D.I.F, Cobra and a few others that understands that if these cars have the same dominant performance figures, then they will be a force to be reckoned with.
drag racing in gt5 is the worst and most unrealistic side of its physics, there’s no side-step at all and all i see its little noobs with hideous colored GTRs
Honestly there are a lot of great things about its physics, every car has a different shift point and if u get it wrong it will slow u down. Suspension setups can and will make or break it tune. Every car is, very unique and it takes a very knowledgeable person to trully appreciate the work that was put in to make the cars feel as close as po,ssible to their real life counter parts. And the problem for u is all u see racing is noobs then drag racing on this game is already a non factor to u. And it sucks how noobs made the bugatti so hated but if its tune right, it is a very fun car to drag with. Mines has never been beaten by another bugatti so that shows that drag tuning has a strong significance to it. If yall only knew how deep this game goes, yall would have a different Outlook on it.
^ So what about us fans that aren’t into drag racing?
It seems most people only care about driving in a straight line.
I do road racing too
Man the only one I really want is the Tuned 370Z, I guess I can wait a while longer lol.
i logged in today after 3 months and oh my gawd, i cant stand this game anymore, i tried…
Iceberg, right ahead!
What got that to do with DLC??? DLC = Downloadable content. Those are reward cars you receive via a ticket, you don’t download anything. Just for the records and noobs who just can’t get it right. That got absolutely nothing to do with dlc, please stop throwing words around you just don’t understand.
Anyway, the game is almost dead. At least 80% of the GT5 players stopped playing already and now I have to wait almost 2 month to get those rewards? Ridiculous
Sooo no DLC for next 60 days??? Hahahaha… PD are you drunk? This game is a f…. Titanic
not interested. all just jap crap.
Remember Me?
LOL
Speaking objectively and in defense of the Japanese cars, my dad had a Cherokee and the transmission literally fell out before the car had 20,000km. We also had a ’94 Sentra since new that NEVER left us stranded after 128,000km.
Well guess we wont see any new DLC till we get this DLC. *sigh*
wow so every wednesday we get our cars…freaking stupid
Not sure about anyone else but these prizes mean nothing to me even though i got gold in all the events.Another GT-R……so what.I know it’s because of the sponsor thing but it’s a waste of time for me.The game is getting lifeless.
One thing that would make a big difference for me is if they made the gear changes real instead of just a keyboard tone change.
I have bought every GT game since day one and will not get GT6 until i see a review saying it’s a MASSIVE improvement over GT5.Probably in the year 2016
Rant over.
Fan boys do your worst :)
I hear you, man. I considered myself a fanboy, but to be honest… to be honest I’m tired of saying “to be honest.”
GT6 will be the first GT I won’t buy on release date for the same reasons that you mention. (unless it’s for the PS3). I’ve learned my lesson throughout the years…
It was a shame really, I wanted all the prizes to be given at once.
I hate it when people tell us how to react to something as dopey as this
Be nice be kind pd gave us this and that SHUT UP we ain’t had NOTHING!
Gotta consider how long those “players” have been playing and what they are getting out of GT5 compared to us. NOOBS pretty much like anything lol.
no BIG dlc before august ends and i’m definitely out….. thx PD 4 nothing—–
You might as well go now, ah buh bye!
Very pleased they are releasing these and the schedule is out. Will make some nice rides for the collection.
E30 M3, where art though?
PD have been skating on thin ice for a while now, and the ice cracks are getting bigger and bigger. Its only a matter of time before they fall through and the GT series will be a thing of the past, really really sad, but really really true :'(
+1
I agree. It seems that it has gotten to the point where PD just doesn’t really care about the series as much as they used to.
After a quick peruse, why worry about these useless cars? I think the real news here is the Ferrari races! Way more fun than bitchin’! I for one, am very happy with PD.
Amen on that….+1
Funny, how these comments keep rollin’ in!
Starting to think that gtplanet only has GT-haters as members.
You’ve got to admit that PD is driving even the biggest GT enthousiasts to insanity with its weird decisions.
@ThaSyn +1
Another +1. PD are getting pathetic with the way they handle things.
Far from insanity though!
I don’t realy care about updates, seasonals, gifts or DLC. Fun that they are existing.
To me GT5 is all about racing against friends, and in case of the Academy, trying to end top 3 in regonal finals.
So no hate on my site, this game puts me in a 370Z on a circuit in 2 weeks!
Well.. I for one just don’t understand AT ALL why they do it like this. That annoys me more than the fact that I don’t have the cars.
I’m playing Red Dead Redemption now anyways.
Come to think of it, I would’ve probably played GT5 if the new cars were here though.
@SvenB1984:
So saying as you mostly enjoy “racing against friends”, don’t you want PD to fix the online physics? It’s basically a waste of the new engine if they don’t provide the same great physics throughout the ENTIRE game…
And wouldn’t you rather have this 370Z RIGHT NOW, and not in two weeks? It’s fully possible, no excuses.
Yamauchi-san, now you can stop to work until the end of the summer! Vacation!
Whatever
At first, is schedule seems complete rubbish- why not just give us all the cars at once? But think about it like this, each week when we go to do the new seasonal events we will also have a new car waiting for us. The two go roger hand in hand. New prize car and new seasonal each week. That’s not so bad.
+1 I agree with you.
After I looked over again it is meaningful for it to be done this way. The way they have done it was to follow the GT Academy schedule. We had to wait for the next round while we worked on our times know we had a car for that round we finished, though we still ran. Yes we are eager to see what the GT-A cars are capable of besides the Leaf, even though it is part of the final round at Silver Stone. Could some of you rethink and take advantage of this to per-pair for next year’s GT-A event.
“what the cars are capable of”
Really? You do realize that you can go to the Nissan dealership, buy them and test to see “what they are capable of”, right? Unless you haven’t tried any of these Nissans in the game, I don’t see what the difference could be. For the tuned versions, you can go to the tunning shop and get the same parts for them. The color? Bayside Blue… The stickers won’t make you go faster, and I hardly believe that there will be seasonals that would mae good use of this cars, other than the ones that are already there.
i was running tests on the nissan leaf and the gt academy version is definitely faster than the normal one. i am unsure if this holds true with all the cars but this car is a fact.
These cars are stupid, as those that have the DLC have them already.. and so I believe most of us wanted that suit… which will be last to be gifted…
Couldnt they have started this stupid charade by gifting us the suit?
Thats just the way they choose to update the game. It makes it look like they are doing something.
Just skip to the Nür. Its the only car I earned that I want because its the only one that isn’t offered as a premium car.
Check the new Nissan dealership again – it’s there as a premium.
People, STOP bitchin!
Haven’t you read the official GranTurismo web site?
It clearly states and I quote:
The prizes will be distributed one week after all GT Academy 2012 events have ended, ON OR AFTER JULY 4TH. To add the items to your game, all you need to do is to start your copy of Gran Turismo 5!
Read the caps lock words please and stop complaining. They never said anything about getting the prize cars immediately when GT Academy is over!
Please be kinder. As you know and it’s been said many times, the game is almost two years old and we STILL get updates for it and new content and interesting stuff, etc.
I have to say hats off to PD and Sony for making this possible. You have my respect and kind regards!
Doesn’t change the fact that making us wait ANOTHER two months to have all cars and the suit is ridiculous. It’s the principle here. I’m fearful PD may keep making decesions like this.
+1 MuoNiuLa.
I say if you’re so worried what PD is doing, then stop playing the game. Then there won’t be any problem left. It’s that simple! If you bitch to much, PD and Sony will cancel the GranTurismo series altogether and then we won’t have anything and that would make me sad :-(
+1 trillion.
People, people, people. GT is not dying. Even now, PD are working on GT6. There will be another GT, and this time, it will be much better than GT5. In fact, it will probably be the best installment of the series yet – yes, even better than GT3 *knocks on wood*. I thin k we’ve whined and complained enough for PD to know what we want for GT6, so now let’s just stop whining and go back to the way we were in the GT4 days – a friendly, close-knit community of GT fans who have come together to share their love for the series. From a gameplay and physics standpoint, we already have the best driving game in the world in GT5. Let’s unite around that and continue to share our passion for GT, shall we?
@mick: I have stopped playing GT5, with the exception of checking for new seasonals every other Wednesday. So don’t worry. But just because I stopped doesn’t mean I’m no longer a GT fan. I just don’t want to see decesions like this mess with any future GT5 content, and more importantly, GT6.
Infinity plus MuoNiuLa. Nothing can’t pass that.
I still love GT despite me not playing GT5. I’m just not liking whats happening to GT5 at the moment. I just want PD to just focus on GT6 all together and forget about GT5, especially if its pissing everyone off, me included.
SONY please get rid off Kaz and PD, hire someone else, can’t you see this is not working anymore?
If Sony gets rid of PD, there will be no more Gran Turismo. EVER!
then let it die, its dying anyway
Why are you still playing if you think it should die then?
mikecustom……….. if you dont like the GAME then don’t play it and stop stop your whining
you have it backwards my friend, Kaz should sell his IP to a new PC sim company, and let this game take off to another record audience in the waiting.
@Lambob PD doesn’t own the IP. Sony does.
I don’t care about the cars – I’ll never use them, just nice collectables really. The suit is cool because its new, but that too will lose its flavour (like the Stig suit) and be returned to my items folder. This drawn-out release schedule though is irritating because it seems unneccesary, but c’mon fellas – the GT5 loading screens have trained us ALL to be masters of patience.
However, Nissan should be cheesed off to say the least! A brilliant marketing opportunity has been wasted. If the prizes were all gifted on July 4th, you can bet that for a week or so we’d all be zooting around in Nissan cars in our Nissan suits. Now not so much. I’m no marketing guru but this exercise seems as pointless as giving away GT5 Prologue posters, long after the hype has vanished.
Same here I’ll never use these cars!!!
Do you guys even think before you start typing?? Yes I agree some things pd do are questionable but how many company continue to support a game after 2 years released? Not many. Imagine sending one item to 1-2 million people at the same time? Now imagine sending 10 items to the same amount of people?
Wrong. PD’s servers run on Dilithium crystals. 10-20 million instantaneous deliveries – no problemo.
At Kayoss : “but how many company continue to support a game after 2 years released”
PLENTY companies!!!!
@RobDoggy05 I think he means with DLC and updates. Sure, a lot of companies continue to support a game with tech support, but updates and new content typically slow to a stop before the first year after the game’s release. The only other series I can think of whose games continue to receive new stuff multiple years after release is Rock Band.
@Kayoss: Please. This game is only being supported because it was not finished at release.
This is a retarded schedule wtf gt5 I got to wait a whole mouth and a half before I can get all gt academy cars no wonder forza is betterb
Month* and better*
I love GT5, PD are both genius on one hand and completely counter intuitive on the other, even the most dedicated fan boy has to admit they seem both brilliant and incompetent at the same time.
Mark another notch on the incompent meter.
I have to wait a mouth and a half too!
But I’m not going to complain about free stuff.
This is crazy! How many times do we have to be let down by this company before we realize nothing they say is concrete. You have to just wait until you actually turn on your PS3 and see it there in front of you. I’m completely disgusted. Pfftt,and they give us the Leaf….like thats going to hold us over?!?! C’mon!
Ya it’s quite annoying of them
Ridiculous….
Yeah..I was tearing it up in my Leaf yesterday. That’s one BAD-ASS machine. Well worth the wait.
I think PD just needs to create a schedule and stick to it. It obviously seems that PD is highly unorganized, and under staffed.
True. :\
If they can be claimed at anytime why dint we get them now for us to claim at will? Look, I really don’t even care about the cars being once per week, the cars are already in the game, these ones just have a GT Academy badge. I think the 2 tuned ars are the only slightly different ones. What I’m mad about is waiting until the end of summer for my suit, that’s pretty annoying. The only thing I care about is the suit, it’s the only thing that will be new to people, yet were are waiting until GT Academy is long forgotten about. That really bothers me. But yeah, if we can claim them any time then why can’t we just get them all now or 1 per day or something?
Sorry all… I play this game everyday and I like it a lot for numerous reasons… The visuals are stunning. Some of the tracks are very well done. The premium cars are beautiful… Other then that, this game is a huge failure. I’m sick of being on the “support PD” bandwagon.
We play GT Academy just so that we can receive our prize cars spread out over a month??? WHAT A JOKE!!! Drop all the prizes in our inboxes and be done with it. It’s not like those cars are so great anyway. Just give us what we won and stop stringing us along.
PD drags their feet making new content. Things that should’ve been in the game at release, still aren’t. Lots of new cars (2010 -2012 models) IRL that would be perfect for this game will never be in this game. We still race on awful, out of date models of Cote D’Azur, Daytona (The bus stop chicane that PD has on the Daytona Road Course is not correct. It never has been) and Indy Road Course come to mind. The tire model is flat out AWFUL. The paint chip system is stupid. The sounds of the cars are mediocre, at best.
Meanwhile, I get emails from Simraceway every week about new cars being added to their game. Last week was an Audi R18 Ultra. This week was a Mustang Boss 302. The only thing stopping me from completely abandoning GT5 is the fact that I don’t have a PC that would run a racing sim in the best possible way. Maybe instead of buying a PS4, I’ll get a nice desktop PC and go racing with Simraceway and iRacing so I can race some awsome new street and race cars on some awesome real tracks that PD will probably never put in their game.
Sorry to all the people that believe the hype but this game isn’t that great and it’s been surpassed by leaps and bounds on the PC side. Time to jump ship folks!
I must admit that I’ve been in the “support pd” bandwagon and still am, but you do have a point. GT hasn’t aged too well in my opinion. at this point either PD hands the game to another developer, or simply lets GT have an honorable death. I respect PD and Kazunori because they brought the wonderful world of automotive passion into the gaming world, but there are others who even though are not at the same technical level, they do seem to put more love into their games.
For me the biggest problem with the game is PD’s side proyects. Yamauchi San is always doing other things besides working as hard as he should on the game which is what really matters. I know people are going to bash me because of this, but GT Academy is a waste of time for 98% of GT fans and I believe that this is one of the major factors that have lead to neglecting GT5. I’m glad for the ones that made it, but honestly WHO CARES! The rest of us just want to play the game and enjoy it.
Right now the only choice for PD would be to hire at least one hundred new people, preferebly overseas, let them work on the game, maybe share ideas with other developers, create a forum dedicaded exclusively to listen to their fan’s ideas and suggestions, so that way he can take care of the thigs that matter the most for him and his old PD team; that would be racing and the Academy thing. If not, it’s time for My Favorite Game to rest in peace… I’m even starting to believe that GT6 (if it ever comes out) will be more of the same.
Bla-Bla-Bla. Move along already, no one cares.
@HuskyGT I don’t think either of the options you present for the future of the GT series would be viable for either PD or Sony. Handing the franchise over to another developer would just be unthinkable for anyone who’s ever been involved with the series at all, even fans – it would be like Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson, or Jaguar without an XK in its lineup; you’d be removing the very heart of the series (and yes, Jezza did resign from the old, pre-2002 Top Gear – it did not end well for anyone, so there’s your exception to prove the rule). As for ending the series entirely, GT has literally been there for PlayStation since day one. Of all the PlayStation-exclusive series, the only one which has endured to this day and still has half-respectable sales is GT. A PlayStation without a GT title on it, or at least the promise of a GT title, is no PlayStation for me.
As far as GT5’s shoddy DLC support: let’s not forget that this is literally the first time PD has ever had DLC support in any of their games. I’m confident that come GT6 the DLC creation and release system will be massively streamlined and that PD will be pumping out DLC like no one’s business. I’ve always had faith in PD, and I always will, in whatever they do. I’m not happy about the fact that it’ll take eight weeks for all of our GT Academy prizes to arrive, but there’s probably a reason that it’s being pushed out so slow that you and I don’t know about. PD always does things for a reason.
@TeamCZRRacing: Please take a look at Forza 2’s DLC. That was Turn 10’s first attempt at DLC and it had plenty of great cars plus a couple of tracks. Sorry, but saying it’s PD’s first time at DLC is not a good excuse for how lacking it’s been.
@MuoNiuLa I’d agree, but think about this. A lot of the time, the first time PD adds a new feature to GT, the first rendition of that feature is just horrible, but then they do a complete 180 and make the next version of said feature spectacular. For instance, compare GT5P’s online feature to GT5’s before it became as broken as it currently is. GT5’s online mode is *miles* better than GT5P’s ever was in every single way except reliability.
Watch this: DLC support for GT5 was bad, but I can assure you that PD has kept an eye on Turn 10’s DLC strategy as well as us GT fans’ complaints, and even now PD is thinking up a way to not only match but beat T10’s strategy. Will they use this strategy for GT5 in the future? Probably not – perfection takes time, something many GT fans sadly don’t understand – but whatever DLC strategy they have in store for us for GT6, I’m sure it’s going to be miles better than GT5’s.
As much as would love to believe that, there are many things in GT that have been Terrible eer since te first game and have seen no improvement, example ring sound and AI.
That’s odd…
I don’t know why PD is doing this, but I guess I’ll just cope with it. It’s a pain though that I have to waith 2 months to collect all of the prize cars that I’ve earned fair & square.
Oh well, I’ll stick with the classic GT games & Forza 4 anyway until the cars are released and the next GT5 dlc is reported, I’m curious what the next dlc will be if there’s a couple of new cars & tracks involved with the next one. I hope to get the Subaru Brz & Acura NSX Concept in the near future.
When they add cars like the new NSX then I hope they make them race modifiable. Really what I’m hoping for in a DLC is a second race car pack with EUROPEAN cars this time. The only American cars in the game worth race moding that we are probably a the Viper, the GT40, and maybe a newer Mustang, so maybe through TC versions of those in. Then the only Jap car in the game I would want a TC version of is that 2002 Honda NSX. Then throwing in the cars that we all know GT racing for! Lets have a BMW M3 TC, Ferrari 458 TC, Ferrari 430 TC, Aston Martin V12 Vantage TC, Lotus Evora TC, maybe a Lotus Roadster like that Mazda one in the first race car pack because I know Lotus made something like that but I forget the name, a McLaren F1 or MP4 or both TC, Mercedes SLS-AMG TC, and an Audi R8 LMS TC or an Audi R8 Ultra TC. That would please me alot! Even if it isn’t the Audi R18 TDI I dream of it would make my GT5! Though I wouldn’t complain if they through 1 or 2 more resent Le Mans cars like some Nissan LMP2, R15 TDI+, R18 TDI, that would be cool. But honestly what I feel the game is most short changed on are European GT race cars.
Hey, I have an idea!! Instead of bitching and moaning about what isn’t in the game, BE HAPPY with what we have!!!!
OKEYDOKEY!
Hey I have an idea!! Instead of defending and blindly liking what’s being offered this month and next month which won’t be all that interesting and a waste of waiting, and not gifting out all prizes at once. GET OVER YOURSELVES AND WAKE UP!!!!
Sorry had to be done… U_U
Toko, you took that too far. Take a chill pill and go have a nap. Do you not think as to why they are doing this? Imagine they were all released at once, and everyone went on at the same time, and it slowed the servers to the point of crashing. YOU would be the first one on these forums complaining that they crashed and saying that PD did something wrong. Go sit in the corner.
I know, and I’m sorry. Its just it makes me upset that each car are gifted at once in each week till the end of summer. :( Are you really going to wait for these to come? Well not really cause you’ll do other things while waiting. But like I said before, I’m deeply sorry.
And no, I WON’T sit in a corner, make me. >:)
Haha you guys are to funny! I for one am loyal to this franchise that is unfortunately showing its age. We all know that PD has the ability to keep the game fresh and competitive, but for reasons unknown refuses to do so. That being said, all the arguing, fighting, complaining, is pointless, but it won’t stop. I’m glad we occasion tease with content. Thanks PD your the bestest ever ever ever!!!! Haha
If you don’t want to sit in front of the screen for 8 weeks waiting for the cars then don’t,use the screen for other things for those 8 weeks then get all the free cars later or use the equivalent cars in GT5 already.
As usual, GT5 is a love hate relationship.
When will PD wake the hell up, seriously.
I don’t even care about these cars, but this is absolutely absurd. Actually the fact that no one cares about these cars is why we shouldn’t have to wait for them. They’re nothing special.
Plus, they shouldn’t be giving away the 2012 Nissan GT-R. People who didn’t buy the DLC shouldn’t get to drive it, they don’t deserve it.
“Plus, they shouldn’t be giving away the 2012 Nissan GT-R. People who didn’t buy the DLC shouldn’t get to drive it, they don’t deserve it.”
I never even thought of that. Good point. It’d be funny if they pulled a Forza and let people view it in their garage but not drive it until it was bought. haha
So not even the people who actually golded the events should have GT-Rs because “They didn’t buy the DLC so they don’t deserve it”. How do you bitch about the illogical decisions of a developer with illogical comments like that?
@crcn11, They allow you to view DLC cars in the NCD, but won’t allow you to buy the car without purchasing the DLC first. So in a way, they already ‘pulled a Forza’ as you called it.
We don´t live for the game we live for our life.
I’m almost literally the last person to complain about what PD does it doesn’t do but this is absurd. Yes its “free” but this waiting game is ridiculous. This should be motivation to keep playing the game?
I dont really care about the cars either but I am with a lot of others here in being PO’d about the way they are going about this.
Why didn’t they just release them to us as we got gold like it would be in GT5? Stupid.
Yh just release them as we get golds good but a little to late
im going to predict the future here,
after PD is done releasing the GTA cars, Kaz will make an announcement stating that the GTA cars are the ”new” DLC he confirmed a couple of days ago and that there won’t be further support or DLC for GT5, then he’ll tell us that GT6 will be a PS4 title and that we are gonna have to cope with GT5 for 5 more years,
I’m gonna be so pissed that i’m gonna have to burn my PS3 and lose any interest in gaming for the rest of my life
are you kidding? All of that is way too far off. PD will never let us know what’s going on until the last minute. That’s how they always do things.
“I’m gonna be so pissed that i’m gonna have to burn my PS3 and lose any interest in gaming for the rest of my life”
Again, fighting illogical thinking with illogical thinking. To top it off, you’ll “lose interest in gaming” over ONE game. Geniius.
I would say he was exaggerating, but then it would be less funny.
Also, burning plastic is unsafe.
I’m glad they released the distribution schedule so that we can all settle down and get back to our regular complaining. :-)
Now I regret not playing GTA. No way I’m buying the DLC for the Leaf and GT-R, so there goes my last chance. Well, like three months ago.
Tedious and boring. That’s all this is.
Oh, does it not matter whether we delete the GT Academy game file? It seems that it no longer lets you load the demo now anyways…
No doesn’t matter, I deleted it the other day and still received the Leaf.
They’re doing this to make sure we keep playing the game. Pretty simple really.
The upsetting thing for me isn’t the cars, (which we already have minus the sticker)! I wanted the “NEW” Racing suit the most. Anyways, of course it is what we have to wait the longest to get… go figure!
When it was announced we get all these cars on July 4th I thought, ‘hey nice gesture, thanks’
Reading this ‘release schedule’ changed my mind. All this waiting around is kind of pathetic.
They should’ve just gifted that cars and be done with it. Instead we get another waiting schedule. Whatever..
I’ve been reading the comments and seeing majority of the members stating they are unhappy with the ‘new’ cars coming in over a period of two months, claiming that they are just cars that are already in the game and they just have a sticker, so they should be given to us who worked for them immediately. But honestly, I’m thinking in the reverse here. If they are cars that are already in the game with just stickers with no special anything about them, why complain? What do you plan to do with the GTA cars? Show off? Drive more often than the ones you already have?
I mean, I could understand if you complain about obtaining golds in GTA for cars that aren’t in the game (let’s say a Koenigsegg) only to find out you have to wait weeks to get it after you ‘worked’ for it. I would work with you regarding that. But common guys, you’re letting this get to your heads. It shouldn’t matter if you get cars that we already have tomorrow OR the next month. Sure PD has slipped up plenty times, but this is nothing to get worked up over.
I think you need to look at the bigger picture here. Sure this isn’t the first time they’ve made us wait substantial amounts of time, but the more and more they keep doing it, the more angrier people will get.
We shouldn’t have to wait such a ridiculous amount of time, especially knowing PD could’ve given us all our ‘prizes’ within a weeks time.
1 car per week…why PD do this? Easy, to cover their backs with no release of new DLC. So we are going to see a car per week so we can be “happy” during the summer…
Amazing. Hope i can live forever till the day GT6 has a release date at least…
Incredible…outstanding…unbelievable…great.
I´m glad because i live in front of the beach so…;)
Totally agree with you mate!
Except the fact that I don’t live next to the beach… :(
1 car per week…why PD do this? Easy, to cover their backs with no release of new DLC. So we are going to see a car per week so we can be “happy” during the summer…
I’m seeing this too. Kaz does it again and thinks we’ll be okay with it. FORGET IT!
We all should enjoy our summer and not wait for things like these. Lets ingore this and ENJOY OUR SUMMER GUYS!!! HIP HIP, HURRAY!!!! :D
Yeah Toko, at this point we can complain about this type of decisions. I don´t like to wait anymore…i prefer to do other things or just play other things. With the 200% thing they made me turn on my PS3 day after day till i said to myself…WTF i am doing?? Really they are rewarding those who play everyday but at the same time is like saying…”hey if you don´t play the game every day you are not going to be rewarded so keep playing it for ever” and to me that is not good. I play games every day if they are good enough to keep me playing.
I still play games from 2007 like rFactor and Race 07 because they are just great. Have something what i call substance and coherence.
You can´t put tons of cars in a game and then don´t have clear what to do with all of them. And that´s is the problem with GT5.
This is baby bag bullpoo
^ i thought first one didnt go through so i put it in a less offensive way
This is baby bag bullsht!
Ah, this explains why I only got my Leaf. I thought I was getting them all at once. Oh well, a few months of free cars here and there won’t be bad either :D
I don’t understand most of the people on here.
He creates the academy and says that if you get gold you will receive the cars for nothing,some complain(which is becoming norm) and now that it’s going to take longer than one week to get them, it’s the end of the world,even though you could just use the ones that are in the game already if you are that impatient to drive a 370z.
It’s not about being impatient, personally I don’t even care about these cars, IT’S THE PRINCIPLE OF IT.
IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!
When the hell is PD going to wake the hell up, and get with the times. Everything they’ve been doing lately is just ludicrous. I love GT5, but I hate PD. They’re such a stupid developer.
They’ve done so many patches to fix things, but they ignore everything else.
Being a GT fan is a love hate relationship for sure, and I know I’m not the only one who’s tired of it
Well said TomBrady.
@TomBrady
You couldn’t have said it better. I don’t care about the cars either, nor I wil be driving them at all. It’s the situation. They are basically admitting that there won’t be more content at least in the next month. And after that, who knows…
Although I’ll keep playing GT5 occassionally, and PD will always have my support, I must admit that I’m also tired of all this.
So because it seems that some people just assumed that it would be one DL and now it’s PD’s fault.
If Toko, Quakebass and another_jakhole are all unhappy with this….. then I can say with confidence…. PD, Yalls f*#ked up….BIGTIME! LOL
LOLZ. And those 3 are the same people who defend GT5 on every post.
^ I didn’t defend GT5. But I know you are in this post, Nissan Lover.
I don’t ALWAYS defend PD, I only defend it where I can – for another thing, why the f*** haven’t they attempted to increase their workforce, and why haven’t they focused on more replay-value centered additions to the game? Cars and tracks don’t add NEARLY as much fun as additional features. I’m talking some minor livery editor, more track editor options, more aero kits, a paint shop of sorts, more rims, more events (either 50+ new events, or even better, an event designer), more leaderboards (like in GT Academy, or at least allow some sort of time filtering system for your friends; I.E. select track, performance range and/or car used, and other qualifications), and/or more trophies either for the general game or for the DLC’s. Some of these are INCREDIBLY simple (to my knowledge) and would add SO much more gameplay time!
I really only defend PD where I can; like when people are saying that “if T10 can get big DLC’s out every month, so can PD” – I combat that with the workforce claim, though I still don’t understand why there hasn’t been as many attempts to increase the workforce, which is getting me upset. And also, why is PD so silent? If they just told us the reason for so many delays with new GT5 content was because of GT6’s development, I’d be fine. The silence is killing me, and many of the other fans and users.
Gran Tursimo: The Real Waiting Simulator
:sly:
hahaha :D
GTPlanet: The Real Whiny Community
Lol
I’d love to meet Kaz in person and really express myself to him. This is seriously a joke..Does he really think we’re all waiting on the edge of our seat for these cars THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE GAME. And they’re going to take 2 months to get on top of that? I’m tired of defending this game…Especially after PD do idiotic things like this. Makes me wonder if they work as hard as they say they do…Yeah yo0u have a cot under your desk…You probably spend more time in it than you do worrying about the game..
PD work hard? Nah. If they really did work as hard as they say they do, GT5 wouldn’t feel like it only took 6 months to create.
Yes they work hard…They cancelled the release date of the game not only 1 time so they could improve it and they now give us a dlc almost every 2 months not only to make money but to make the game better too. They think we have money to pay. But we haven’t only money and patience to wait these cars. They think they will keep us interested in the game. But the best way to do this is to update with additional cars, tracks etc. not to make us wait for something more unimportant than important…
no, they kept changing the release date cuz they never started working on it until Sony pushed kaz and finally on early 2010 they began to develope GT5, Turn 10 took 2 years to develope Forza 4, and look at it, are you seriously suggesting that GT5 took 6 years to develope even when its half done?
Rotex,there is no such thing as a free DLC,especially since you gotta consider everything from licensing to making the bloody car.And then there’s the bills they have to pay.Why does everybody always complain about not getting free cars because they don’t have money to buy it and if they do,they want it free?They’re just like us everyday people who has bills to pay as much as we do,so
:Madea pun:Suck it up and shut up
Scion FR-S was literally free dlc. In the dlc section, listed as “free”.
Gran turismo is the best simulator
All should be satisfied whit just playing this incredible simulator
yo kiddin me aight?
We are. We AREN’T satisfied by the strategy of giving us our rewards for GT Academy over the span of 2 months, when they could do them all in one day.
Gran turismo is the best simulator
End of the story
All should be satisfied whit just playing this incredible simulator
And that’s why most of us are not satisfied. GT is a jewel and has always been the best car game ever, but it seems that PD either doesn’t want to prove it, or they simply can’t for some technical reason.
I think GT5 is the best sim overall, but not the best or most realistic simulation. That goes to netKar PRO for sure. But like I said, overall, GT5 is the best racing game/sim period.
Still doesn’t change the fact that PD is completely stupid.
I mean seriously, making us wait for a bunch of cars we already have, and already have driven?
It’s the principle of it. I thought it was ridiculous that they didn’t give them to us while GTA was going on, but one car a week? Are you kidding me?
Not to mention, the ridiculous lack of DLC.
When is PD gonna learn not to piss of it’s loyal fans. They’ve done a lot to fix things with patches, but what about everything else?
KAZ, WAKE THE HELL UP MAN
You know what’s worst? The people from Turn 10 and their group of little fanboys who must be laughing their a** off at this moment.
It’s really enranging since for most of us, GT has been like a familly that we faithfully belong to since the 90’s. But you can’t help to feel that the other people are right about laughing.
You know what’s best? Owning both games and laughing at both sets of fanboys and their stupidity.
you know whats more stupid? bragging about having 2 consoles and think you’re superior
@mikecustom
I wasn’t bragging about having 2 consoles; I was bragging about not being a lowlife fanboy. The fact that you took the comment that way makes me wonder if you’re a fanboy desperately trying to get revenge for being slighted.
I highly agree with varmintx. What’s so wrong about not owning both console and both games??? Fanboys these days. O_O
@ varmintx
LOL!
Really PD? Everyone has to wait almost two more months so they can get their ‘prizes’ they earned from the GT Academy? It seems all it ever is with PD is just one big old waiting game. I’m getting tired of waiting ridiculous amounts of time for very simple things like this that could’ve been done in less than a week.
Until now I thought people whining about DLC were idiots.. now with this tho even me hardly playing gt5 atm feels like PD is playing games with their fans to keep them happy with ‘regular activity’ .. this just doesn’t make any sense..
Great game, poor dealing..
What for?
NO, I’m not waiting for these duplicate cars to arrive. I got better stuff to do with my summer instead of waiting to waste my time with this stupidness by PD. I’m sorry PD, but you guys seriously gone WAY to far with us on this. I’m had it with you making us wait for months. This is by far the most stupidest idea they planned.
Just say your done with GT5 and move on to GT6, so you guys at PD won’t have to embarrass and piss everyone off like you have so far… PD will never change from this whole waiting crap they have right now. SO not inspiring…
Wow, Toko is angry with PD… They were right about 2012 being the end of the world.
Seriously man, I gree with you. It’s very hard to find a possitive reason of why they did this. I mean, it’s not like we are waiting for new cars (even the Scion was kind of worth the wait), but it’s cars that are already in the game and are basically only worth as some sort of trophy due to the GT Academy badges.
Seriously PD. How hard it is to say “We are working on GT6 now. GT5 won’t be supported anymore other than seasonals.” Trust me, that would be huge news and it’s WAY better than keeping our hopes high for recieving new quality content like other games recieve periodically.
wow… all hope is lost. :)
Oh you bet hope is lost if PD doesn’t something. >:) But really. I really wish PD could cut the crap of making us wait, its so annoying…
We are in the same boat Toko. Is the truth 100%. And i am mad with all this because i love Gran Turismo and i am a fan of it. Wake up already PD.
I’ve been very patient with the way GT5 is headed but this is a bit of a stretch. 2 months to receive the content that is already on my system that I have already earned? I’m okay with waiting for a good DLC, assuming it will be good. I’m okay with limited support due to development of GT6, but PD really is falling behind. I’m starting to resent the game because of things like this. In the grand scheme, waiting for a few restickered cars isn’t going to bother me that much, but the principle is unjust. I’ve actually started looking for a used 360 just to have a chance to drive some of the cars GT5 is missing. I love the franchise and I keep trying to find things to keep me amused with GT5 but I’m running out of ideas. GT Academy was nice but that was seperate project, not an excuse to prolongue work on GT5.
/End Rant
This is sad way to reward everyone. At the end of this period of receiving the gifts, PD will announce the BRZ to the 1 car lineup list. As always, there isn’t much we can do to just wait for it. Atleast its SUMMER!
Of all things the racing suit is last? What kind of game? Really though. “do this and well giNve you can collect your prize July 4th.” not an actual quote but that’s how I felt. Is there seriously any reasoning behind the long ass wait for our stuff?
It’s not a fun kind of wait because you’re really excited, it’s just a tedious kind of wait, like having a slow internet connection.
This is kind of like someone saying maybe someday, you taking it as a yes and then suing them for not carrying it out. If I said that I decided GT6 has to be out tomorrow, wouldn’t it be unreasonable to post a comment in a GTP news section about how angry I was that it wasn’t?
i would bet money that at the end of the release period there will be a DLC pack. I am not going to get my hopes up but I think that might be there strategy.
*their
I agree!
As for me, I’m starting to think that these rewards are somewhat a part the DLC…. :\
PD must’ve though that with these reward cars the players would be happy enough, and that might be the reason as to why we only got one car as DLC.
I golded freaking everything and I deserve my rewards, as well as everyone else. what is teh problem that they release it over a period of time?
the “I want errything right NOW! or else!” mentality of a 4 year old that people have these days. That’s really it.
@MÜLE_9242: Do they wait a week before they give you each item you purchased at walmart? no.
Does an employer get to wait two months before he gives you your complete paycheck? no, they don’t and frankly this is the same situation, PD has undermined anyone who supported them, players had to put in effort and time to earn these prizes. and PD is making their supporters wait TWO MONTHS to get cars that are already in the game, but these just have stickers.
Hey, I was right!
People are complaining about free stuff!
@Dooblewasur: Its free, BUT you had to work for it, meaning it should be handed over to those who earned it IMMEDIATELY just like it would be if you paid for it.
Quit being a idiot and open your eyes, I didn’t even play GTA but I still think this is utter BS.
@CNSpots1
This is true, I did play through over half of GTA.
Free is defined as “Without cost or payment.”
Did you really pay for these cars? Was it work?
I suppose you have a different mindset.
So you can choose to be unhappy about free* cars.
@Dooblewaser
What peoples point is, is that the principe of it is just wrong.. I don’t even care about these card but it shows how they deliberatelly expell everything to keep us bothered to the game.. after nearly 2 years they should stop getting us excited.. just be an opened book: we work on this we have that many ppl on it and you can buy it when we are done with it. Simple as that
@etnerdnl
I’m not Dooblewaser.
And I honestly don’t know what you are trying to get across to me.
Frankly, I don’t care. Any new content at this point on is purely bonus, and nothing to drink a gallon of hateorade over.
Oh joy! MORE WAITING!
This will feel like an eternity ;-;
Nice a new car to look forward to every week :D
that’s the spirit!
Some extra hateorade being drunk in here it seems.
Seriously considering switching to XBox and not buying a next GT…
nise overreaction.
xbox f*g
Omg, pathetic PD…. Really pathetic. Making us wait 2 months just for a color/livery!
You know honestly I don’t get it. We worked hard for these cars and we couldn’t atleast get 1 day but a week gap instead. Tsk tsk PD………………………………Meanwhile Forza just a 10 car pack.
It takes 2 months to send me a car I already have 3 of?
Hahahahahahahahaha This game becomes more of a joke every day, keep your cars Kaz, I don’t need them. I really don’t.
This is absolutely pathetic.
People have no rite to accuse Kaz of anything, There doing there best, there workforce is halved between working on GT5 and GT6, DLC will come in time, just wait and if you don’t like it don’t buy it, besides PD could just stop supporting GT5 altogether but they choose not to, there are other companys that wouldnt care about fans at all do I personally am greatfull for the continued support.
That has nothing to do with this – it shouldn’t take two months to give out 8 cars that already exist in the game.
the data for the GT Academy prize cars was included in the last update, they’re making everyone wait on their 10kb unlock files for no real reason.
If they stop supporting GT5, like they are basically doing at this point. GT6 will be the last title of the franchise.
Japanese game developers needs to adapt or some of the best japanese titles will die.
What I’m saying about Kaz is, Stop liying and remove those pink tinted glass.
You just lost another milion customers for gt6.
The die hard fan are surely switching allegiance.
Its sad but its clear that NO ONE is playing GT5 at PD.
Hey guys, is if really ok to delete gt academy 2012 demo? Even though I have the leaf?
yeah dude… I deleted mine like 2 weeks ago and I still got the leaf.
can anyone honestly still defend PD at this point? LOL they’re literally digging their own grave with this bulls**t.
Can you hear that??
TURN 10 ROTFL there asses off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I give up GT has become a comedy show really
I agree
It’s so sad, because GT5 is such a great game, and it has much more potencial than Turn 10’s game. But I said it once, I’m a car enthusiast as many in this site, and the other game is delivering much more. Yes, it isn’t as good a Gran Turismo in some technical aspects, but the game is solid and well made unlike other games which are… trash really… (*caugh* nfs *caugh*)
that is a bit lousy tbh… we had to wait until july 4th as it is, when the competition ended ages ago… sad times
Got some good news for those who would like to see Porsche in GT5 (i guess everyone). VW owned Porsche!!! ITs your opportunity PD. Unless VW doesn’t want to give us the license…
I just hope Kaz is looking at the Forza page sometimes.(he`d better)
Wait,
due to not really having any DLC content left we will the release the cars very slowwwwlllyyyyyyly.
Anyone wanna bet next DLC will be around November ?
I freaking hate when i’m getting lied to.
You know that you are a fuureaking liar Kaz.
As much as I dislike people disrespecting Kazunori, I have to agree with your point 100%
This feels like an excuse to make us think that we are recieving extra content in a regular basis. It’s sad, but more sad is people like me who feel happy when recieving these “gifts.” (especially when looking the other game is doing now…)
I really hate to say this, but the reason I’m not playing the other game is just becasue I can’t afford the MS console… As for now I avoid watching anything related to that game, because it sparks my passion for cars in a way that GT is starting to fail to do so.
not cool really, i dont go buying your dlcs in weekly installments :/
lol, right on. best comment so far. XD
8 more Nissans or not, they shouldve had the decency to say so.
Mark my words, before the 29th of August, their going to release a DLC pack of racing suits that look like the GT Academy one anyway.
Thank you PD for clearing up the confusion :-) I can hardly wait for 1st of August :-)))
Yeah, me too. I had pretty good results in round 5.
Me too :-) especially in round 5-4 when I was in the top 200 :-)
We got all of these cars about 20 times, so don`t worry. It`s only 8 more Nissans.
…huh?
That makes sense?
….
what a stupid schedule. I didnt pay for anything, but I feel cheated.
I just want that suit. I got the damn dlc’s already !
Ah who cars, its just some stickers and a few extra perks per car, get a life
Oh I see you are informed! Good, good! Would you please inform me of that life shop where you got your life? Are they expensive? Is this a discount season? Also, where can you learn the profession of “Life Giver”?
Thanks in advance!
Well, looks like i’ll get my racing suit one day after i buy Transformers fall of cybertron.. =D
[
How peculiar.
Hope this long wait to get the gta cars is for the upcoming DLC…. AND PD I HOPE YOU REALIZED THAT WE WANT CONSTANT AND BIG DLC’s, NO MATTER OF WHAT.
If PDs workforce was bigger we could get DLC quicker and more consistent, but they split between GT5 and GT6 so probably not gonna happen unfortunately. I would guess in order to program spec data for a vehicle from EU OR the USA PD would have to travel.
An Updated ASpec Mode to go with those upcoming DLC packs is much needed or an Event Creator. I have enuff garage “Divas”.
The Forza guys are going to be sooooo jealous
haha this amused me :-)
Oh wow, I ll get a normal 370Z AND a tuned version! And they both have stickers on their doors! STICKERS!!! Dunno if I ll be able to sleep until late August, I just cant wait to drive my new… wait, what was it again? Ah, who cares, its got stickers! STICKERS!!!
Welcome to the Gran Turismo World.
how hard would it be to release them all at once, typical PD, everything takes forever! even the FREE stuff
Kazunori Yamauchi, Kaz Hirai, and Translator San are watching the designers apply the Nissan GT Academy 2012 stickers and license plates to the Nissan Leaf. KY demands:
“See if you can enhance that license plate.”
**Designer enhances license plate, position is precise**
“Got it-” then Translator San cuts in.
“Wait, zoom in on that screw.”
**Designer zooms in on the screw, scratch marks are seen**
“Those tool marks match the opposite screw!” said KH.
KY resumed “Now zoom in on that reflection.”
**Designer zooms in on the screw’s reflection, picture of Honda Insight appears**
KY: “Looks like our designer, is screwed.”
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
———————————————————————
^Same thing repeats every week for every new Nissan.
So we are having to wait a long time for cars that are boring any way and just have an academy sticker on them……. Nice PD, might be worth it if the cars were any good, but no. FAIL.
well still not got my Leaf but wont hold my breath
:lol: lolololol Made my day after seeing this depressing schedule
I want it all, and I want it now!
I don’t understand this schedule… Why a WEEK to wait for each car? It wouldn’t seem that it would take that long to determine who’s eligible for which prizes…
I get the black edition on my birthday. Thanks pd!
Awesome, Tuned Black Edition 2 days before my birthday=D
I’m still confused as to why they didn’t just give you the prizes when oh I don’t know, you earnt them!!??
FART!!!!!!!
Yawn!
I can’t complain about free stuff.
But a bunch of other people will!
I must say that I don’t quite understand the thought process behind this.
Sheesh! Why only one per week? This is getting out of hand. They need to just release them all at once.
Just shut up dude Im tired of people like u
^ No, he has a point – why does it take so long to send the prizes out? I don’t see any reason why it should be less than 1 car per day…
I don’t know how credible this theory is as I’m no computer wizard, but could it be possibly down to the sheer number of releasecodes/tickets that need sending out to everyone who entered? I’m not sure exactly how many people took part, but I’ll bet that’s a hella lot of stuff to send out. Hey don’t flame, just throwing an idea in the pot.
@roflcoptor Sounds feasible
It shouldn’t take a week for that; there’s computerized methods of doing this. Some guy at PD isn’t just individually sending out the prizes, otherwise, some people would only just be getting their Leafs up to July 10th. Everyone is getting/got a Leaf on the 4th, so PD can get the other prizes to everyone each day or two. Unless there’s some other way, I don’t know.
@roflcopter do you honestly think someone is manually sending out these prizes? LOL that’s not how it works when you have millions of active users, one click and a prize car can be delivered to everyone. no excuses for this nonsense.
I’ve built very VERY simple databases that can spit out millions of results at a rate of over 37,000 per second on a base model laptop.
This is not the problem.
Missed a 1… 137,000
Don’t get me wrong. Still love this game. Especially the GT Academy competition part. Still hoping for implementation of this kind of racing/ranking within GT 5. Cheat proof, just as GT Academy (not as the seasonal events).
But to stretch the rewards just to hope people will return to the game up till august is a bit pathetic.
I can’t say I understand the logic here.
I’m not sure I’d want to see that 370Z ever again.
Lol
+1 ha!
This would make sense if it were actually cars worth waiting for.
Do players still get the LEAF if they haven’t purchased for the Car Pack 3 DLC, the one with the Aventador?
I don’t know – It’s in the game, but it requires a download of a code to unlock it… So I think you should be able to use the Leaf if you are given one, but you still won’t be able to purchase one from the dealer. That’s just my guess.
Just the Academy Leaf
^ Yeah thats what I meant to say…
Breathtaking
This is going to get a lot of people heated.
It’s the same cycle as GT Academy.
Thats a pretty long schedule of when you get your prizes but hey at least we get them.
How cute PD!
Oh…
Haha I Knew it!!
