New Gran Turismo 5 DLC Approximately “Every Two Months”

Jordan Greer · · 341 Comments

IGN has published their most recent interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, where he provides fairly detailed responses to some familiar questions. Notably, he offers a rough timeline of how often we can expect new content to be introduced in Gran Turismo 5:

I think that will include cars and trucks that we’ll be releasing maybe once every two months or so from here on out. What we do from here on is also really dependent on the reaction of the users to this first DLC that we just released because this is the first one.

It’s not clear whether the use of “trucks” (instead of “tracks”) in this sentence is the result of an inaccurate translation or transcription, but it is worth noting. Confirming recent comments from an SCEE representative, Kazunori re-iterated that GT5’s future additions are ready to go:

We have a pool of materials that are possible to release and it was just something that I decided with the team. We decided the vehicles and tracks and content in this first DLC was going to be our starting point.

Exactly what’s in that “pool of materials” is up to speculation, but the 25 track logos GTPlanet’s community discovered earlier this year may offer some hints about what’s to surface from those murky depths.

Notably, Kazunori also re-confirmed that Gran Turismo 6’s development is underway, and commented about how the game’s new features will ultimately be chosen:

Of course we’re working on GT6 already and I think what really will be the separating factor is something that we can’t update through a DLC is something that obviously has to be saved for GT6. Things that we can provide through DLC we will, so that’s really the market difference.

Thanks to all of you who sent this in so quickly!

    Engine swaps. wheel editor, or more wheels. The ability to drive around freely, not just on the track. Not livery editor, those people got NFS for that, and it cheesy. Take Shift2 unleashed and make it have sex with GT5 and there will be a little GT6 soon.

  5. screwfacedapper

    Surely theres only so much graphic/processor capability development from the PS3 system for GT6 I think will only ultamately lead to a highly evolved version of the current GT5 2.0. Why not wait untill Playstation 4 has been made for the ultamate Granturismo experiance. Sorry bout the spelling, life long GT fan always. S.Wilson

  9. pasigiri

    Do the new Dubai circuit Kaz. And Miller Motorsports, Button Willow, Silver Stone, updated El Capitan (weather + time), Test track, and Hoekenhiem (spelled REALLY bad).

  10. jah24car

    If he means trucks hopefully the GMC 2500 HD, S10, Camping World Truck series Trucks like Hornaday’s or Bodine’s or something good but yea Tracks be better, but still more trucks be great

  13. ToViper888

    I would love to see cars that are NEW and not just tweaked, if they aren’t new cars this time around i don’t think i will buy the car package again. i also have a feeling that the cars that may be released in the future will be standard cars that have been made premium ala bugatti veyron and this. crossing my fingers that test track, midfield, and seattle curcuit will be revived at some point.

    2. brugab

      Explanation (offline): you go out chasing other cars. Opponents don’t have awareness of position or want to win the race. There should be racing a-spec events (like races and championships) with teams and objectives per team. Even in a-spec long races there is no competition, mainly because cpu opponents are like empty dummies. Ok ONLINE is great… just because we have people thinking and trying to go up positions… except for those just trying to bump everyone on track.

    3. iridegravity

      Kind of true, but who else out there has a better way of implementing AI for a racing game? Not sure who’s doing it differently or better. Interesting point though. The game does not have a single event involving qualifying which IS kind of dumb. It is called a DRIVING Simulator though, not a RACE sim I guess. I personally like the AI. They are capable of driving cleanly and are aware of track position, both their own and yours. Better than Forzas anyway.
      The event and AI can be dialed in by selecting the appropriate pp to compete against them with. If you use excessive pp and your car is better on the track, of course the AI will falter as it is overmatched and confused. If you go with less pp on your car, the AI will have a little more aggressive attitude and ability to challenge you. It is time consuming though and requires a lot of tinkering and restarts.

    4. brugab

      I understand, but that kind of AI is much more complicated in sport games like PES or FIFA and they do it. I think probably it would be just a tweak because the base is there: they just need to put AI drivers trying to achieve the best position they can according with each driver and car capabilities. And then you would have interesting races and championships, not just going out to chase other cars till you get first… and fall a sleep before you finish. Also a event creator would help a lot, so you could create interesting championships… well it is a great game but some basic stuff is just not there.

  15. NaganoRN

    The PD put a mysterious event for use one Toyota FT-86 in Fuji, someone saw it in seasonal? There was nothing! What could it be?

    2. jah24car

      New tracks (Montreal, Bathurst, and hopefully Silverstone)
      New cars (Lamborghini Aventador, Maserati MC12, Ford Fiesta, or maybe the new Dodge Charger)
      New suits be great too like Kyle Busch, Vettel’s, and the other nascar drivers, and maybe the full Playstation suit for the Playstation helmet

  18. maverickv874

    I would be glad if PD fix the brakes, it’s almost impossible to play without ABS. I other games, like F1 2011 or even Shift or GRID is possible to brake without blocking the wheels and it’s very fun to find this point.Bathurst and Siverstone would be awesome

    1. jah24car

      wow i hate people complaining all cars needs ABS which makes them real but for racing cars yea but still stop complaining and Bathurst and Silverstone will be great

    2. maverickv874

      Well, I say this because I drove lots of cars without ABS, and none have this behaviour. Even cars created before ABS was invented can’t be driven without this

  19. Flagmo-T

    I just hope that the New tracks or rather the known Tracks (tracks Logo Tracks) is freshly made, so we can en-joy them even more then we use to, because!! some of them has been shown with updated Graphics, and modelling like Grand Canyon, so Yes I’m looking forward to those tracks, and of course New Cars not just More Cars – But New cars hehe – ( Wishful thinking ) I really would love to drive from New york to San Francisco in GT5, But that would never happen, but if we only could take some from the different Racing games and add to GT5 like Free roaming Driving in a Huge area of Roads and Motorways then that would be considered as the Ultimate Driving Simulation in my Pocket :0) Waiting on the Tracks ..

    1. jah24car

      bud they won’t add the F1 cars (only ferrari) because F1 isn’t as cool as the NASCAR owners to let us just have it, 43 nascars be nice and the rest of F1 and other sanctions but I want Ken’s GYM3 Fiesta that won’t happen because of CodeMasters and if some magic happened that PD did get Ken’s GYM3 and WRC car in the game I’LL LITERALY GO TO KAZ AND GIVE HIM A REWARD FOR BEING A BOSS!!!

  22. kollosson

    The DLC was great in that it was really good to have new content however i think future DLC should concentrate on new tracks because thats what is really needed here, yes, a couple of new cars would be great to make GT5 more current, like the koenigsegg and the new Lamborghini Aventador but its new tracks that really should be the main concern here. Many of us have voiced our concern over the lack of classic GT tracks and to be honest i’d rather have all the classic tracks than new cars.

    1. TokoTurismo

      I wish for that dream to come true too. I really do miss Motagi and other classic tracks. I really do miss Rome Night and others from GT2. I agree it would be nice to see some new cars too. But really do need more tracks in GT5.

    2. j8mie

      I have to agree.

      I can understand why PD didn’t include tracks from previous games, as they want to make each game different with it’s own “identity”. That said though we are lacking in the track department.

      There is a second layout at Tsukuba which is available in Forza 4, but not GT5. Same goes for the Top Gear test track. Adding those would be really easy imo, adn they would give us a few more tracks to play with. I can understand that it takes a lot of time and effort to copy a real World track, so I wouldn’t hold out much hope for Bathurst or Imola. But they could give us some more karting tracks, and/or allow us more control when creating our own.

      Let’s hope PD listens.

    3. Serious seb

      Nostalgia ! when you take me ! … nothing is better than play old GT1234 tracks with better graphic and physic ! :-p

  23. tika

    I hope that they listen to us and the next DLC will give us the freedom we need to download one car our one paint scheme at the time. What I mean is I want to be able to download one car at the time for A normal price, so if there are ten cars in the DLC. I want to choose which car I want and pay just for that one car. The same with the paint and tracks and so on.
    The problem with the first DLC was it was oke but no more than that, 15 cars and only 8 worth keeping. The same with the paint 10 paint schemes, only 5 you would use our keep. It was good that the first DLC came as A pack for A low price, so we did not over pay for it. Bottom-line is I want choice and freedom to download that item I want, and leave out want I don’t want.

  25. Fryto

    Looks like they’re going to milk the cow here…
    I’m fine with some DLC from time to time to keep the game fresh, but they should not chop this up into very small pieces every two months. That way it will probably be really overpriced…

    1. hellwithit

      mooooo! I missed the day when everytihing was on disc at least I can trade it for something tangible. Now everything is DLC .

  26. j8mie

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

    Do people on here never learn. Don’t get your hopes up until you can download it from the PS Store.

  28. Daynef

    I know there’s already plenty of trucks to choose from, but nobody has diesel trucks. I want a 1500ftlbs capable cummins that just destroys. If they ever implement a true customization option, then they should build an online SEMA show, and possibly a Barret Jackson themed auction.

    1. 70hemi

      that would be cool, GT5 needs to get into Diesel Motorsports a bit more. that could open a whole new world to Gran Turismo players.

  30. PS3LUV3R

    Seriously, why not release more at a time? Some people might not like the first pack, but really want the other one.

    PD fails at real world stuff.

  31. CorvetteConquer

    Agreed with Serious seb, at times, PD feels light years away from us. I mean, it isn’t hard to make a poll or to ask US questions. After all, we’re buying the product, supplying the funds!

  33. Serious seb

    “….We have a pool of materials that are possible to release and it was just something that I decided with the team. We decided the vehicles and tracks and content in this first DLC was going to be our starting point…”.

    I haven’t buy the DLC because the content is not very interesting for me, except maybe the track SPA . Rather than deciding only in his team . Isn’t it better to propose 2 or 3 packs and do a vote with the fans, before working in a DLC which entail no success ??
    I’m waiting for the old GT tracks which don’t be so difficult to do ( no licence, existing work …) : Citta di aria, infineon, Costiera Amalfitana, El Capitan, Midfield and maybe older : Grindenwald, Tahiti ?? … and I hope those will be cheaper than SPA . SPA may have done lot of works en clearence…

    (Sorry for my english and i hope most of people enderstand what i say !! :-) )

    …Only for motivation ,it will be good to win some money in friendly event (practice mode) like GT5 prologue : 500 cr ! better than nothing !!! .. easy to do in an update (and better for paying DLC tracks in single player )…

    1. gast1976

      and online laptimes on the practice mode?
      and credits in arcade mode?
      and random race event?
      and better damages modelisation ?
      and so on…

  35. CorvetteConquer

    In regard to adding new cars, PD has got plenty of work to do! Some missing manufacturers

    Gumpert

    Koenigsegg

    Bentley

    Ascari

    De Tomaso

    Radical

    Ariel

    Noble

  36. diabolicwyvern

    The word ‘pool’ in the story above is telling. They have the ability to make GT5 better presently, but I suspect that no more than half of what could go into GT5 or any future game ever will. At this pace, the well will always have water and thirsty folks like us will continue to drink.

  37. montecarlo87

    Far as I know. It has been clocked hitting 60mph in 4.6 seconds which is almost a full second faster than the Cobalt SS almost 20 years difference in age. The fastest in top speed as listed is the Holden Commodore Maloot UTE. That is if you consider a UTE as a truck.

  38. Foxiol

    To me is one of the best news ever. I´ll be glad to support GT5 and Gran Turismo series buying their DLC.

    And about GT6 i believe it will come with the PS4 in 2 or 3 years from now and no more.Imagine Sony with the new PS4 and at launch having a pack with Gran turismo 6 with full premium cars, new sounds and not the problems that this version of GT5 suffered because of the hardware of the PS3 (blocky shadows, etc). And us 4 or 5 million fanatics buying it. $$$$$$$ That is gold people.

    Also i´ll like to play PS3 games on PS4 too. Let’s see what happens in the future.

    And again more DLC YAYYYY!!!!!

  40. joetruckv8

    Hey, Kaz & PD, can we get our music track-list to carry over into the online lobbies, as long as that users mic is not on?

  43. GT Hero

    I really wanna see changeable wheels on standard cars and more selection of wheels… like gt4. Lots of the gt5 wheels are kinda lame.. motegi racing.. come on.
    Who else thinks it would be cool if they added the Ebisu tracks??

  45. Jev

    i can’t use the DLC just because my GT5 and my PSN ID is of a different regions. think i must consider my options fm4, rf2, etc…

  46. Race carman

    I would like to see the F1 cars from gt3 in gt5 along with some old F1 cars from the 70’s and 60’s and give us an Indy car or at least make an Indy style front wing for the pf1car we have now, I mean Indy is in there lets not waist this great track with lemans cars

  47. iridegravity

    I would pay $100 for a new menu system and user interface. This one that shipped is crap. How about making the arrow icon like a mouse on the computer. You could move it with an analog stick and navigate directly to the one of many choices on the screen instead of…..right right up over right down…woops…. over down left X uggghhhhh
    One simple fix and you can still use the same mess of a system. Or sell me some more DLC I can only use online, without matchmaking of course, if I have enough time to find one using the DLC car I want to drive, I might actually get to use it.

    1. blackjack

      There are in fact Drift events in Gt5, but I would “jizz in my pants” if they decided to do a “D1” themed DLC pack to release. The thought of at least one track dedicated to drifting with Kaz and his team’s effeort I’m sure they could come up with something quite special!

      Ebisu please Mr Kaz! ;-)

  49. oskierox

    Sorry, how can you be happy for this? This is all stuff that SHOULD’VE been in the original, free DLC and i’m game. But paying for more crap that should’ve already been in just irritates me.

    2. recca

      you’re right it should’ve been in but that would require us to wait at least another 2-3 years for them to premium all standard cars and put in all teh tracks they wanted..would you rather wait another 2-3 years for GT5 or pay as you go…i would go for the latter as the wait was already becoming excruciating

  50. joetruckv8

    Hey Polyphony let me help you out with this; MORE TRACKS, MORE TRACKS, MORE TRACKS. International Circuits from the F1 & MotoGP calender. Thanks’

    2. Bom15

      I doubt we’ll ever have current F1’s. Except Ferrari. U can thank Bernie Ecclestone for that. But wot about older F1’s like a 6 wheel Tyrell P34, Brabham BT-46 Fancar, Maybe some old lotuses, Maser 250F, Mercedes & Auto union Silver arrows? Wot happened to the Type C Streamliner in GT4 (plus the others now missing in gt series)?
      Wot i would really like though is some more Can-Ams like the Mclaren M series ( mainly M1a, M7, M8,), The shadows, March & Lolas, Chapperal 2E etc etc. It gives PD more of a reason to have the 2J and Toyota 7 in the game. Mentioning 2J, I saw it running in July. I’ve never heard anything like that and believe me i’ve seen alot of stuff. It has the big V8 rumble but the snowmobile engine being a 50cc sounds like a moped. Defo interesting

  51. SaintSaiya

    This is something thats been bothering me for a while but im going to say it anyway, what about the damage? I mean it was better in the gt5 best buy demo, why? And has anyone notice that when u damage a car,when it smashes it kinda fixes itself a bit lol

  52. Magic Ayrton

    This is great news, but how about giving us some cars that we actually want? Like the newer RUF’s.. ?? And some of the old tracks like midfield (in psp version) and pikes peak etc.. Thanks.

  56. SZRT Ice

    Customizable Rims? – GT6
    New Race Mods? – DLC
    Rims for Standard cars? (GT4) – Spec 2.2 or 3.0 Update
    Vinyl/Livery Editor – GT6
    New Tracks – DLC
    Adjustable Drift Smoke*/Blocky Shadows – Spec 2.2 Update (With performance trade off**) or GT6
    New Rim Manufacturers (Premiums) – DLC
    Drag Racing/Las Vegas – Spec 3.0
    Dynamic Tracks* – GT6*
    In Game Race Clubs – GT6
    Free Roam Locations/Cities – GT6
    Stunt Arena/Drift Park/Gymkhana – Spec 3.0
    2010,2011, & 2012 models – ?????
    Aventador, Koenigsegg, Ascari, Gumpert, Ruf, RS5, FXX, F50, SS, etc. ?????

    Tis my hypothesis/wish list/ hopeful thinking. I’d gladly elaborate on details & reasonings.

  57. GRAFX21

    if it took GT5 4-1/2 years to release this game. You can be sure they took out content so they can sell them and continue having people to play the game while we wait another 4 years till they release GT6. So by then we will be playing with 20 year old LMP cars/touring cars/f-1 cars/nascars and the same glob cars and maybe a few 2015 cars…smh. They take way to long to make a game. It like waiting for Dr. Dre to release Detox. Hurry already! I dont like the fact they had no time to finish GT5 yet had almost 5 years? Will that be the same excuse for the GT6. You better hope it not. Depressing on there end.

    1. SZRT Ice

      Would you rather a slightly updated game year to year that still has DLC of much higher prices? With cars that were designed in a few weeks and 25% the poly-count (less defined in and out) and a cut & pasted physics engine? In three years the said game would run you back $195 (@ $65 annually not including bs DLC) and GT’s DLC is OPTIONAL. You can still enjoy Spa with friends that own it, u can still borrow the TC cars from friends that own them, You can request a friend paint a car for you from the paint DLC, & the suis and helmets are cosmetic intricacies invaluable to those who care less for them & a plus to those who care to make their drivers as dapper as their rides. You can pick and choose what DLC to purchase if you don’t care for the whole pack. I for one, wants new content. I won’t speak for anyone else. So BRING IT PD. If I like what’s being sold, I’m buying. It’s just that simple.

      SZRT_CIC_Ice

  58. canieaturchikn

    Can we finally get a livery editor for GT6? I mean it only makes sense since alot of us have our own online teams and would be great if we can make our own team liveries. Also PD should do away with standard cars in GT6. I don’t mind having less cars as long as they are all premiums quality.

  61. L2D_J-kirb_

    I wish they had a similar business model as Ps Home-filled with micro transactions. If Home can have t-shirts, couches, and random items for your fake apartment…why not bodykits, rims etc. I know I’m not the only one that would pay to support my fav game.

  62. foefke

    iI dream of of 3to4 cars to compete whit the GT-R N24 Schulze Motor sport (oke it is no race Race care ) but its a fantastic Sports Race care end it will ad a new class to the GT-500 or the GT-300 , and som standert Touring cars made to Premium

    I had an idea fot som time now ;(for GT6) the engine , do something like te tyres icon whit the engine .
    example Blue means a fresh engine and red means you have crasht to often or to hard , and the next crash will blow up your full engine and game (or race) over . its like you have to renew your engin nevertheless so take it a step further PLZ. and let it say BOOOM

    I forgot something ;some LM, LMS standard to premium . it brings 2 additional Class es , and it ar cars that ar already in the game but doe not have full Interior

  63. Garagefather

    I say bring on the tracks. I was a little disappointed with the last DLC due to only have 2 tracks with one being a go kart track. I was expecting about 4-5 tracks and then could have accepted the go kart track as a novelty. Spa is a great track but so are many others that hopefully will be released. I am not a programmer but I would think that a lot of the PD tracks could easily be released in a DLC w/o much effort. They have already been built for older versions of the game so all they need is an update. Either way, they can drop the paint and suits and give me more tracks. The car DLC was pretty cool but I wouldn’t complain if the next DLC was tracks only as long as there was more than 2.

    1. occasionalracer

      I’ll be extremely surprised if we get even 1 track per DLC while also making other tracks for GT6 at the same time. Hopefully I’m wrong, cause I’d definitly welcome it, they didi a great job on Spa and Kart Space. It takes alot of time and testing to put together a track, especially with PD’s precision modeling standard.

  65. fureddo

    “Truck” and “track” are pronounced the same way in Japanese: トラック
    They have the same problem with “rap” and “la”p or “clap” and “cr…”
    Bad jokes asides, he most likely talks about new races then!

  66. jammed79

    THIS WILL BE COOL….I ALREADY HAVE ALL THE CARS THAT YOU CAN GET IN THE GAME…AND THE PAINTS….SO IM GLAD FOR THE DLC CAUSE I NEED MORE NEW CARS!!!!…….FORZA SUCKS!!!!!

    1. RemyKock

      You cannot compare Forza 4 with GT5, theyre each based on a other style of racing, besides, the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 are both very different consoles

  67. Lacix

    This Lexus is the most photogenic car in GT5 I think. :-) (Lexus LFA)
    I would like to see the Lexus CT200h as donwloadable content.

  68. pasigiri

    I think he meant tracks not trucks (hope that’s what he meant). This is really good news that PD is focusing on new cars. If I remember correctly, in the interview at SEMA Kaz stated that they are focusing on new cars. Also, a long time ago he had mentioned that the premium cars in GT5 are actually GT6 compatible/upgradeable. So it would kind of make since that they would focus on modeling new cars starting now. Also it’s a big thing that is desperately needed in GT5 to compete better. Forza 4 has a car list that is basically a wet dream. I can truely say that I would try to get every single car in that game. As for GT5, there are cars I can say I would never use and then there are cars I wish were in the game (Lamborghini Aventador, Koenigsegg, Pagani Huayra, Scirocco R, Audi TT-RS, Lotus Exige, etc.). There are also tracks that are not only wanted, but in need of being updated. For example, Trail Mountain is a fun track, but it DEFINITELY looks dated. El Capitan … man I miss that track.

    So in a sense, I can see PD stepping up big time and bringing some GOOD CONTENT in the near future.

    1. eightlives

      Far to many cars?

      How can you say that?

      Yes there are far to many Japanese cars, but there are MANY American/European/Australasian cars that we need in this game.

  72. HKS racer

    quote from the news “I think that will include cars and trucks” ehm you mean TRACKS right? You know, trucks are good and evertyhing but I rather have Mount Panorama Bathurst than an Iveco or Scania. ;-)

  74. fet_thunderdome

    i think that working on dlc and on gt6 (if gt6 will be released for ps3) go somewhat hand in hand because is material you can use.
    for example premium cars and tracks developed from scratch for gt5 could be used in gt6.

  76. TURBOMATIZ

    Gt 6 will befor the ps4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats a fact , and its the best for the game more power will mean more physics .

    3. masaki7026

      I read a blog once that quoted Kaz before the game came out, that PD was thinking about adding bikes to the game. They just needed to release the game first.

      Now that the game is out…who knows?

  80. Turbo-Kai

    finally…..sounds good…
    but then please at least one track!
    and cars like the mx5-TC and R32-TC….those are very cute…

  81. MX5OCady

    I’ll be sat with debit card in hand, can’t wait !! ….. and racing trucks (proper trucks, not pick-ups) !!! Can’t see that happening unfortunately, but i’d be at the front of the queue to purchase that pack if it really did ever happen, you’d have to peel my hands of the controller after weeks of playing to get me away from that.

  82. lespaulguy

    Personally, I hope they include more Astons, like the One-77, V12 Vantage, DBS, Rapide, etc. That and the Pagani Huyara, Lamborghini Aventador, those sort of cars. Maybe the Hyundai Genesis Coupe? New M5? An Alpina B7 or S65 AMG would be sick. Just some ideas off the top of my head. Oh: Grindelwald, Tahiti Road, Seattle Circuit, Midfield Raceway…PLEASE!!

    2. conceptman

      one-77 is a must- id like bmw 1 series m,e30’s(big bmw fan)jag x-c75,renault de zir,some rwb porsches(they could list them as rwb 930 etc.)aventador and a lambo countach lp500 with the legendary wing

      btw pagani sold the rights to the huyara to ea :(

  83. Kobooi

    “I think that will include cars and trucks that we’ll be releasing maybe once every two months or so from here on out.”

    You think maybe or so? Whaw Kaz, what a sound project plan.

    “We decided the vehicles and tracks and content in this first DLC was going to be our starting point.”

    How clever to have the first DLC as your starting point.

    Just like in Jordan’s interview, Kaz speaks but doesn’t say anything. And every time he speaks, I’m more convinced GT deserves better management.

    1. civicgsir

      “I’m more convinced GT deserves better management.”

      I’ll have to agree.
      Kaz is a good icon as a front man, but the outfit itself does need better management. The production staff needs to be increased which would fall under the whole new management thing. They can’t put out the material they want to in a timely fashion with only 150 people, they need like 4-500 at least.

    2. occasionalracer

      Well they did purchase new office space a few months back, so I’d imagine they hired at least 50 NEW staff, which would be a lot of help. The 5 year wait for GT5 wasn’t neccessarily due to shortage of staff but more to do with the leap to HD. I hope they are more comfortable with the programing now, so things should really speed up with new content development. I don’t think Kaz wants PD to get too big, cause the business mangement won’t get any easier like that. 200 people working full time can do alot of work in the next couple of years.

  85. Rossva

    My 2 cents;
    Yes it’s cool, for sure, however if I decide I don’t want said dlc I hope I won’t be forced to download it anyway under guise of an ‘update’ – find that annoying.

    Cant wait for the new DLC, KAz did say he had something special for us around xmas time… so guess we’ll have to wait and see…

    Plus sorry to go off topic, but I just went online racing for the first time (I’m not an online type of guy) and thought special stage route 7 would be fun, high speed, exciting at the hairpin bends then a blast back… firstly it was kind of ruined by everyone being in X2010/X2011s, then someone suggested street cars… Perfect I thought, brought out my tuned Supra, tweeked suspension for the tight bends, lots of BHP… then everyone picked the Veyron (typical) so I did the same to compete, only everyones Veyron was tuned up to the hilt… (I left mine standard out of respect for the car) so I thought I’ll try and hold my own, 3,2…1 GO! and I suddenly found myself being in the middle of what could only be described as a wall grinding bumper car session.

    I left and went to find more rooms where people would race properly, I’m not talking overly serious, but properly… I still havent found a race yet where someones not punting other drivers off the track or just is descending into chaos. haha

    I’ll keep looking and hope to find all you sensible racers out there soon! Infact could anyone give me a hint as for what tracks,settings etc to search for? Thanks

    2. Vortex1be

      Search for servers with atleast 3 stars and bars (makes is less laggy). And nurburgring 24h or nordschleife or spa usually gives you good drivers because it takes skill to drive the track properly. Also read the description and look for “fair racing”. “Pro” usually gives you some noob host who thinks he’s pro but actually just pisses you off all the time (or not cuz he cant keep up :P).

      Also rooms wich are half full or more usually indicates a good host and fun racing. Just use common sense when searching and you’ll probably find a decent server. And add people you like so you can join them when they are racing. That way you don’t have to look for a good server all the time.

    3. MyFavoriteGame

      Please add me, im having the same problem….plus when i join i pro room they kick me because of my stats :(, very frustrating

  87. Imari

    So that’s what, 6 weeks or so until we get to start complaining about the next DLC being late? I’m not getting my hopes up. Every 2 months in Polyphony-speak equals about one a year.

    2. Lambob

      If GT6 comes for PS3, (which will be only ready sometime in 2014), then GT7 would only be out sometime in 2018, 4 years after the PS4 launch, that would be an utter disaster for all.

    3. ERIC11940

      I don’t think that there will ever be a PS4. We haven’t got any news on whenever there will be a PS4 or not. Besides, I think the PS3 and Xbox 360 have the most realistic graphics yet, and I don’t think that we will ever have a PS4 and a Xbox 720 with graphics that are more realistic then PS3 and Xbox 360’s graphics.

  89. Ben78

    I feel there’s going to be a delay. Don’t ask why.

    Approximately “Every Two Months”…

    Nothing clear and precise with PD. And the game I paid 110$ (collector’s edition) will probably end up costing 200-240$ in the next year or so…

    Sigh.

  91. Guimengo

    Whatever it is I hope it is a separate download. I am not happy to have downloaded a gigantic 2.0 update when a massive part of it was content I’ll never utilize since Polyphony included all of the DLC in it, bloody PSN store purchase is a mere 100kb to unlock stuff.

    1. Vortex1be

      That wont happen because that would mean the DLC is for offline use only. If someone without DLC would race someone with a DLC car then the person without DLC can’t see him because he doesn’t have the car model. That would be downright stupid…

      Or that would mean you have to download the car when someone drives a DLC car. So your screwed both ways :P

  92. SaintSaiya

    If they release gt6 on ps4, its going to take 5 years to release, just like ps3 to gt5, dont u realize that? Cuz they are going to start from scratch , the new engine and stuff

    1. Vortex1be

      seriously… do you think they are going to make a new engine AGAIN??? Why would they? They said they reached the limit of the PS3, not the limit of the engine. And has anyone noticed how good the shadows look on tsukuba? They are stunning most of the time. Besides it would be stupid to make a new engine cuz then they would have to make new car models again… Don’t tell me the models aren’t good enough…

      Also I think the “operating system” of the PS4 will be very similar to the PS3 so its easier for the developers to push the PS4 to its limits early after the launch and you can probably play PS3 games on the PS4 aswell. I hope they put 2 gb of memory or more into the ps4, atleast then they have some memory headroom.
      Still don’t understand why there is just 512mb in the PS3… My laptop GFX card memory is 4 times as much as the PS3..

  93. montecarlo87

    Maybe trucks and tracks I hope. After all there are plenty of trucks to choose from, and I am not talking Daihatsu Midget. The Saleen F-150 Supersnake for instance. Callaway has built a Chevy, and Hennessy has a Ram truck. The 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express! And naturally the NSX killer GMC Syclone. :p

    In any case if this keeps going I’ll be playing GT5 right up to the point that GT6 is released.

    1. 70chevelle8

      Woo! Thumbs up for the Syclone! :) Is it still the quickest accelerating production truck that has been produced?

  94. recca

    I feel GT6 needs to be on PS4. GT5 is already trying to do things beyond the capabilities of the ps3 ie the horrible shadow rendering, when you kick up tire smoke/rain everything becomes pixelated, and Kaz has stated that it has to do with the lack of memory on the ps3…i can’t see GT6 looking any better even if all cars are premium…is there a reason why we can’t have weather and day/night settings to tinker with for all teh tracks? is it cause the system can’t take it?? if anything GT6 should have more content, better everything, and the ps3 can barely handle GT5…GT6 would cripple ps3

    Well it’s not confirmed if GT6 will be on one or the other but i hope it goes to next gen console, make it a launch product for the system and badda bing badda boom, ps4s will sell like hot cakes

    1. MyFavoriteGame

      it may be just me, but i think PD are making incremental adjustment to the shadow problem,….there are some replays i had uploaded to my pc in febuary, and they are nowhere near as good as the ones now

  96. 70chevelle8

    If GT6 is for the PS4 that means we’re going to have to spend somewhere around $1000 for the system, and $80 for the game!

    2. 70chevelle8

      I Know I go tmy 60gb PS3 immediately when it came out, and it cost $800. Im sure the PS4 isn’t going to be cheaper than the ps3.

  97. SeaWall

    i hope he said TRACKS not trucks, i hate trucks, i mean what is the point. unless its a rally truck or baja truck or something with baja tracks.

    1. HPUnleashed

      I would really like to see some premium trucks just cause in America almost everyone has at least has one, and they would give you a cool new camera perspective in the game. I don’t know why, but I liked the fact that GT4 had normal everyday cars like the Honda Odyssey and Ford F-150.

      Just for the record though, I would prefer tracks instead of trucks, but either way it’s a win-win for me!

    2. Mattycakes

      @HPUnleashed
      Sorry, but i disagree completely. I live in the sierra nevada mountains, so every car around me is either a truck/suv or a subaru. I own a GMC yukon myself, and have no desire to race it or anything its size :P

    3. montecarlo87

      There are plenty of sport trucks out there to choose from. Ford, Dodge, Chevy, GMC, and all the tuners, Shelby, Hennessy, and Callaway.

  102. Drag Labs 101

    Can someone pls explain this getting expensive garb???
    I mean.. Let’s suppose all of the upcoming DLC is going to have a bundle price at or around the same as the 1st/past DLC just released… And it’s coming every 2months… So Im to the understanding that cracking an extra .75cents outta some of you a day requires a 2nd or better job???
    Lol
    Seriously???
    Here’s a tip.. You like GT5 so much quit super sizing ur meals cupcakes… Or opt to only by some DLC and not all…. But acting like saving an extra .75cents a day is budget or bank breaking is pretty hysterical folks..
    Even in our weak economy…
    J/S

    2. MyFavoriteGame

      Yeah I really dont understand the money complains….I mean are all these ppl high-school kids on allowances?, not that theres anything wrong with that, but all this talk of “second job” does seems kinda ridiculous

  103. PS3LUV3R

    So this means we have over a month till the next DLC? :(

    I was hoping it was sooner. I hope its a modern supercar pack lol.

  104. Snaeper

    This is more relevant to GT6 and less to DLC, it’s also an idea.

    I’d like to see an Oval track creator that uses the same or similar big grand stands typical of NASCAR/Motegi yet allows you to scale up and down the size of the track, how many and if there are any kinks/dog legs and to adjust the angle of the bank in the turns either universally or individually. That way NASCAR owners can get close to recreating their favorite ovals online, instead of just endlessly racing on Daytona and Indy. Why on earth Infineon and Motegi were not included with NASCAR making it’s premier in the series is baffling but so is a number of decisions.

    As for more DLC, bring it on! I don’t smoke or drink coffee so I can afford it easily. Especially if the money is helping fund my favorite game company.

    2. researchALLwars

      Solid idea- thats the first time I’ve heard of something like that. Shouldn’t be difficult for PD to do, either.

      And yes, the baffling decisions are painful to live with. I’ll take solace in the fact that Kaz is listening…

  106. MyFavoriteGame

    Does anyone know how well the first DLC did. I hope it was enough to convince PD to make more and to take it more seriously

  111. HuskyGT

    They ment Tracks. I´m sure of it. If they ment Trucks, then they would´ve mentioned Tracks after. Otherwise they would be saying there will be no new Tracks.

  112. Ix-M0NTANA-xI

    HOPE THEY GIVE US MORE RACE CARS. HOPE THEY ALLOW US TO BUY CARS AND ITEMS LIKE PAINT INDIVIDUALLY INSTEAD OF BUYING ENTIRE PACKS. THE GAME REALLY IS LACKING IN CURRENT STREET AND RACE CARS.

    -AUDI R15 AND R18 TDI WOULD BE NICE.

    -LOTSU ELISE GT1….WHERES THAT GT2 CAR GEEZ PD

    -I COULD LIST ANOTHER 50 RACE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE DAY 1.

  113. CorvetteConquer

    The reaction to the DLC should be: Thanks, but we’d like new car models, not RM versions of already existing car models. Some more European and American cars, please. KY, keep GT fresh. Don’t fall behind the times. The cars are the stars. Forever. :)

    1. HPUnleashed

      Trust me, if it’s another pack of RMs from cars already in the game, then I’m not buying. Personally, I think those should be given to us through updates, and brand new cars like Ferraris, Lambos, and other exotics are the ones we should actually have to pay for.

    4. masaki7026

      Personally I would actually LIKE it if they made more RM models of cars. I’m more interested into the race cars in the game more than the standard ones.
      I just say they need to make updates instead of making us have to pay for it.

  114. Mac K

    Good news! Does this mean we can possibly expect DLC next month some time? The first DLC pack did come out in October and next month would be 2 months right?

    1. HPUnleashed

      Yes. I find it to be quite the coincidence that the first pack of DLC was released in North America on October “25th”, and now we hear that DLC will be released every 2 months. Hmm… that puts it right on December 25th, Christmas Day! How convenient!

      Maybe this is the reason Sony delayed the North American release…

  116. LarryL

    A new job to afford GT5 DLC? If you can’t afford a $20 PSN card (with $7 change left over) a month or every 2 months, then you already needed a new job anyway.

  121. HakiraDyson

    Everyone realizes that this slates the next dlc release for around Christmas time. What a perfect present!!!!!

    1. TokoTurismo

      Indeed. :D I’m keep thinking there might be a possible chance for a “Bike DLC” :D Or maybe the bikes might in GT6 I hope. That’ll make the game really with DTM, FIA GT, WRC, and Bike racing. And some modern, classic, rally, nascar race suits for your driver. :D

  122. crowhop

    Thoughts on GT6…
    If they have laser scanned all the real-world tracks and premium cars, those will easily transfer to GT6 regardless of the platform (PS4, PS3 or PC) as the image files should be near-perfect resolution. So what we have now is a great start. They won’t face the same issues of transferring GT5 Premiums into GT6 as they did transferring GT4 or earlier cars into GT5. Basically, no more Standard Cars. It will be an incredible feat to get to 1000+ laser-scanned Premium Cars. I will be very interested in seeing the full car list for GT6.

    In many ways, unless there will be great advances in visual digital technology between now and then, you could wonder if GT6 will be a “tuned” version of GT5…more tracks, cars, events. It will be interesting to see how far they can push the envelope.

  123. HksDrifter

    Please PD I am literally begging, surely at least one of those two monthly dlcs will be a drifters pack with cars and tracks maybe even ai drifting?

    1. Olegonic

      THIS
      I think PD should focus finally on how many people play GT5 title just because of DRIFT and there is NO drift events at all.
      They are not drift events what we have now, its just single drift runs, or online so called tandems. Real drift events, with commentator voice saying “TAKTE!!!!” wich means 100 points.
      EBISU CIRCUIT, LONG BEACH, MOUNT HARUNA, MAZE CIRCUIT and more drift cars in premium is what we need

    1. DaihatsuDriver

      The DLC doesn’t go into your body, it goes into PS3. Unless your borg and assimilated your PS3 and play it through your alcove or something.

  126. Scuderia Paul

    GT5 DLC every 2 months is great news! GT6 will not be out for at least 2 years so complaining about it is utterly pointless.

    With such regular DLC there is now a chance I will have my dream of the Audi R18 TDI and Maserati MC12 come through. Please Kaz…

    2. RemyKock

      I also hope there will come more Maseratis in the game, like Quattroportes, and the old models too; the Khamsin, Bora, Merak(?), and of course the Ghibli

  127. drummermaniac

    This is great news .
    GT5 still needs more tracks and new cars , if PD really release new DLC very 2 months , i´m more than happy .
    Thanks PD .

  128. HPUnleashed

    Yes! Glad I saved my money by not getting the first pack of DLC. I think these new up and coming DLC will be awesome!

    1. HPUnleashed

      I think it will be for the PS4. If not, then were looking at the same scenario that happened with PS3 release – no early flagship title from Gran-Turismo!

    2. jomama2010

      @HPUnleashed

      When you look at GT4 it came out when the 360 was getting warmed up and the ps3 was really near.

      So its possible for a GT6 release late into the PS3’s career.

    3. Klaus_PSU

      But then again, GT3 was released a hell of a lot earlier into the PS2’s lifetime that what GT5 was for the PS3 ;)

  131. BWX

    That’s cool and all.. but I really want more progression through the game THAT USES the new DLC. Namely mor A-Spec races and series and a higher level cap, from LVL40 to LVL50 or 60.

    All this new content is and will be great and I’m not complaining about it, I just want to be able to use it in the game to progress in career mode too.. Not just online.

    If it’s only content to be used online in multiplayer races, I’m not sure I’ll be buying every pack.

  132. yoman297

    So what’s the thing that Kaz is talking about with GT6? All premiums? What I hope, is that GT6 will not be for the PS4.

    1. shurnster

      Actually I do hope that GT6 will be on the ps4 because I’m hearing complaints about it’s physics engine needs to be more improved. Hopefully next gen will be similar to the popular pc sims if not miles behind.

    2. HPUnleashed

      I hope it’s for the PS4. Kazunori already stated that they went to the maximum limit of what the PS3 could handle. If we get GT6 on the PS4 we can really expect some great new features!

    3. foefke

      i hope it is ; i think der is not much left (in power) from the PS3 so be it on the PS4 (+- round the end of 2013 ) . i think the DLC will keep us hapy fot the time that wil kom

    1. McSoap-90

      Agreed… A-spec is so very dead without some new events.

      Some new tracks with lots of new events would make me play GT5 again.

    2. Mattycakes

      yes please!!! I dont play much online, so i am running out of races i havent tired of. When do we get a seasonal with Spa?

  134. SaintSaiya

    Why are you all complaining ii he meant trucks? Farza 4 has them and they are fun!! gt5 needs premium trucks!!!!

  136. White & Nerdy

    The pool of materials had better include the various Nurburgring variants that can be seen in demos but not raced on in the game.

  137. GT5_Honda_Guy

    That’s great news! I will pre buy absolutely anything PD wants to release, regardless of expense. Great news! Guess I’ll have to pop for the gamepod and T500rs now, my wife is going to be thrilled! :)

    1. mickstanz

      Yeah i’m with you, sure it may be a little expensive, but your supporting future DLC and future GT’s and as a fan of the GT series its well worth it.

      I guess all the extra content they’re making for GT5 will be ported over to GT6 anyway.. So its like they’re making GT6, but just giving us what they can as they go. That’s how i’m thinking its working anyway.

    3. occasionalracer

      It’ll be interesting to see how much will be directly ported and how much more data GT6 will bring. Could even end up being a 2 Disc Game. What I really hope is that they don’t drop a whole chunk of cars they didn’t model by GT6, I would love to see every single car stay, down to evey Skyline and Miata. I would like GT6 to be the complete library of cars premium plus an additional 150 historically popular NEW cars. That would be an epic museum. Plus of course a whole range of tracks, I hope rally tracks, something crazy like thight trails through dense forest and other really fast paced rally type surfaces that are really tricky like Grand Canyon.

    2. jomama2010

      Well Nissan and Polyphony are partnered up in the real racing world…..So it only makes sense that Polyphony would bend over and put a lot of Nissan’s in the game.

      Honestly I could care less because a new car is a new car.

  141. dabien

    So thats 6 DLC per year, which will cost you about $60. spending $60 each year for DLC on a single game is not cool at all. GT6 wont be out till when? another 5 years? we are looking to spend couple hundred dollars more on GT5 guys! LMAO, HELL NO!

    3. TP1

      You realize that some people pay $60 per year just for the privilege of using online features *cough xbox live cough*
      And if YOU don’t want to pay for it, that’s fine. But a bit of new content every 2 months is not something to rage about.

    4. bosoxfan0104

      Why are so many people complaining about elective DLC… you don’t have to purchase it to play online, so how is it effecting you? Do you want it for free? I don’t see any other games putting so much time and effort into a game that was released a year prior… I understand they are making a quick buck off these DLCs but they really aren’t that expensive… be happy they are expanding upon a game without making you buy an entire new game disc with 95% of the same game…

    5. tofudrifter

      GT is to me what my dads scalectrix track is to him , he still has half the basement full of track and has been adding to it since the 60’s , when it’s more of a hobby than just a game , it’s a lot easier to justify spending the money on new cars and tracks be they real or virtual , no one is forcing you though , if you don’t want the new things that come out you don’t have get it

    6. Nato_777

      Considering the time and effort not to mention salaries involved in producing these DLC I have no problem paying for them. After all you would expect something for your time if it was you producing the DLC. That said I hope the pricing is set at a reasonable point to make it accessible to the masses.

  142. bdubclub

    Wow, people complaining about having to pay for the new DLC??? How about this, get a job, the last one was 12 bucks, seriously, 12 bucks???? You act like you have to buy a whole new game…..

    1. Ben Rogue

      Well, some people don’t have a lot of money. I found the last DLC pack quite pricy, here in NZ it was more than $20, which is about 1/3 of what the game cost me

  143. TokoTurismo

    Maybe the feedbacks could be some use to help Kaz and PD with DLC such as cars, tracks. :D This has to be the best day ever to be expected. ;)

  146. lumecanopy

    New content every two months is waaayyy coooolll! But I have mixed feelings about GT6, not sure I want a new game anytime soon. But hey, I use to buy a copy of Madden every year, how’s that for stupid?

    1. Gimp

      We will all be dead and buried by the time GT6 is released :D

      Regular DLC sounds awesome though, will keep alot of people interested in playing regularly.

    2. MyFavoriteGame

      @Gimp – I play GT5 at least once a day so this is awesome news to me! DLCs gonna be kinda expensive but i do not mind at all

  148. tigersharkdude

    lots of win. If he adds a truck when we need the SRT10 Ram and the new Ford Raptor

    but I really hope he meant tracks and not trucks. Needs more SSR11

    1. dave427r

      Hmmmm, need a track to go with the Raptor. Like a section of Baja or a Trophy Truck course. While we are at it, lets throw in some actual trophy trucks and Dakar rally car-truck-SUV-things (Dakar vehicles are so weird but I love them anyways).

      Also, needs more SR11.

  150. MOTORTRENDmitch

    YESSS!! I hope we get new supercars (adventador, Koenigsegg Agera, etc) Muscles (Mustang Boss 302 ’12) and Maybe WRC? Ken Blocks Fiesta would be cool :P

  153. Rajareits

    I’m really happy for this, but where the hell (sorry) do you think I’ll take the money from?
    So no DLCs for me.. :(

    3. Rajareits

      Funny how it has evolved..
      I remember Kaz telling that there will be no DLC for money, and now …
      I’m sorry for ruining it, but IMHO they shouldn’t release DLCs, at least not so often. At least for the price of the first DLC.

    4. occasionalracer

      6 DLC’s per year until GT6 could sum up to a hefty total if they’re priced the same the last one. I’m sure they’ll figure out a reasonable way of pricing though.

    5. LarryL

      A new job to afford GT5 DLC? If you can’t afford a $20 PSN card (with $7 change left over) a month or every 2 months, then you already needed a new job anyway.

  155. happycorey

    Let’s hope they understand how the majority of people play their game, and the additions they have patched and updated are for the good of the game. A fresh copy of GT5 and the most updated patch are almost two different games. Just understand that the set of cars are great, just simplify and understand the importance of the correct models

    2. occasionalracer

      Ya, I don’t even want to begin to imagine a “Truck Pack”… please use your time modeling premiums PD! Even though there might be a handful of trucks that do have performance oriented chassis and suspension setup that could provide some fun, if I’m not racing on an oval :)… I would hate a NASCAR Truck Series Pack…

    4. DaihatsuDriver

      Sweet I want to drive a tractor trailer around Nurburgring XD We already have cars in the License tests that turn about as good as a semi so I think I would be well practiced.

      New Dealerships Mack, Freightliner and International.

    5. OldF@rt

      How about an Aussie Road Train (semi-trailer with two additional trailers!) around the Nordschleif? ;-)

      Or for an even bigger laugh, try it on Tsukuba!

  157. TokoTurismo

    That’s so cool, GT6 is being made and DLC every 2 months is awesomeness. :D Can’t wait to hear about GT6 and more DLC coming. Cars, tracks, I’m cool with it 100%. ;)

    1. shurnster

      That is cool. I’m guessing that DTM and FIA GT are being reserved for GT6. I’m sure they have a bunch of premiums already made! :)

    2. TokoTurismo

      Haha, I agree with you X10. :D This is super great, DTM and FIA GT sounds super wonderful and perfect for GT6. ;) Your totally right about the premiums already made. That’s what I also believe. :)

    3. jomama2010

      @shurnster…when GT6 comes out I’m sure the Grand-Am/DTM/Super GT league will be well established.

      2015 there is suppose to be an epic merger of the three race leagues.

    4. TeamCZRRacing

      @jomama2010 Don’t mention a release date yet! You probably just cursed us with 9,496 delays, so now it’ll come out somewhere around the year 4819. :(

    5. jomama2010

      @TeamCZRRacing…what? I’m not talking about GT6 release…I’m talking about the DTM/Super GT/Grand Am merger

    1. caasimun_18

      :’) its coming…tears of joy. now to go call my interenet provider and tell them to give me an extra 60 GB.im gonna updating gt5 :’)

    1. 07_HSV_GTS

      I want to know what it is that they can’t put as dlc but have to put it in GT6 ( which I’m probably not getting after GT5), I might get some dlc for gt5 but after that I’m playing Saints Row The Third until Grand Theft Auto 5 comes out then ill be playing that for awhile.

    2. GMW

      I agree! That is awesome! I’m ready to buy more cars and tracks every month if need be. GT5 is my hobby and it’s a lot cheaper than a lot of other hobbies, so I don’t know how people can complain about paying $10 bucks + for more stuff! Come on!

    4. HKS racer

      HSV GTS that sound trollish. Are you expecting bazookas and an uzis in Gran Turismo? At least compare GT5 with other racing games if you have to say something…

    5. Mopatop

      Think about the difference between GT3 and GT4. I’d imagine it’s something like nitrous, new game modes (drag racing), and graphics engine updates (fixes to the shadows) or fundamental physics changes like brake fade (although we’ve seen so far that you can completely replace the suspension model with an update).

      I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a polycount update to the tracks in GT6, which would be too much data for a DLC.

    6. madracer

      Awesome??? Do you realize how the game will cost you after 2 years?? And then you’ll have to buy GT6 (maybe half game like GT5)… Let us see if they bring something good – From now on it’s all Money Talks. It’s sad to see games selling into small pieces….

      As much as I like seeing a purchasing the new DLC and having the new content, it’s going to get expensive to play this game. Albeit, $11.99 isn’t a lot of money to part with but having to pay for new DLC every 2 months or so for the next several years could easily reach the cost of buying the PS4 when it’s released assuming the cost is around $299. (I know the PS3 was a lot more at launch but that was partly due to the new bluray technology.)

      Being an older gamer, I don’t know if I like the way the gaming industry is headed although this will not keep me from buying the GT5 add-ons as they become available. Luckily, Gran Turismo is the one and only game that I play.

      I know that I can spend a lot more going out and socializing and $12 would be a VERY cheap night out especially if it’s only once every 2 months or so. But that really isn’t my point, my point is that it is going to cost us an extra $70 or so to play Gran Turismo and stay update-to-day every year when it should have only cost us the initial $60 dollars when we bought the game. Granted, I will still buy the DLC when it come available and I’ll just have to pass it off as just supporting PD in their efforts in making this game all that it can be.

      But like I said, I am very happy that this is the only game that I play because gaming can and will cost us a fortune to play.

      @Eric – yeah i here you, I’m an older gamer also, so i remember getting my complete game at the day of purchase. but i will buy PDs DLC because i love playing GT, even if its DLC i don’t necessarily care for, i’ll still get it to support PD. $12 every two months is pockets change to me, I spend alot mire money on beer and cigs in a week….plus im down for anything that gonna keep me playing GT5 longer

      Meh. With no Spa seasonal or anything else to do with the first DLC, I am still wondering what to do with it. Not sure why I would buy again. Can’t use it or give it away. It’s like they are still holding the keys for the cars without races for them. The track I only race online so I did not really need to purchase. I don’t get it. Hope they come up with a different format or content and pricing structure.

      @Eric W That should be the job of the server/developer. To find me someone to play with at my skill level. Like any other top tier game. Modern Warfare thrives and supports the DLC model because you can jump in and out on your own schedule. You get the most out of the time invested in playing because of it’s well thought out and implemented matchmaking and game options. GT5 fails in that respect and it becomes MY job to seek out my own competition? In a game where any one getting beat can change the rules and settings whenever they want as the host? Meanwhile the developer is working on selling worthless DLC? You know I am right. Thanks for the invite. HAha

      Every 2 months???

      Ok as an old timer (48) I feel I am not in the mainstream GT5 universe but I am so impressed with those who have the skill and persistence to get excited/unexcited about DLC when I am still unable to gold intermediate AMG, can’t gold that slalom licence and cannot even bronze the Vettel.

      I would love to see B driver races sustain damage so that they have to trade time for oil/bodywork/puncture/suspension damage. I think experience ought to be based on time (ie use RedBull and get reduced experience points). I also think in A spec, experience points out to be a function of performance points vs the others. You can use RedBull to get credits but as it is so superior, don’t expect big experience too.

      Bbm is so clunky it is a Joke so why bother. As for drifting, can’t even see the interest. Why not do drag races or even parasailing?!

      Way more tracks, less stupid cars, better AI opponents, less immunity to damage and fewer unrealistic challenges would be GT6 heaven!

      Just my opinion…

      I don’t mind the dlc every two months – just really hope Kaz and PD have learnt from the first DLC and will make it region free so i can use it on my main account. The last dlc is sitting on my US account untouched. The decmber patch can’t get here quick enough – i so want to drive the new cars and tracks and paint my cars with those insane paint chips.

      Let’s not forget that Kaz mentioned that he would have liked to stick a mode in GT5 that allowed you to step out of the cockpit and explore your surroundings. Wonder if that’ll appear in GT6.

      PD really needs to focus their efforts on better game play including online game play and forget about free roam. The only thing that I feel that may be cool would be to be able to open the door, hood, and trunk/hatch. I’d like to be able to pose my Lambo or Enzo with the doors open.
