Any questions about the authenticity of the Twin Ring Motegi screenshot that emerged yesterday can be quickly forgotten, as the image (along with another completely new shot) have been discovered on SCEA’s press site.
The original screenshot is now available in high resolution; you can download the 15-megapixel version here for closer inspection. Another new image of a 2012 Nissan GT-R emerging from one of Motegi’s overpasses can also be seen above.
As pointed out by Jay in GTPlanet’s forums, file names of the respective track screenshots clearly hint at which circuits will be featured in future rounds of GT Academy 2012:
Round 1: Autodromo Nazionale Monza- Round 1: High Speed Ring
- Round 2: Rome
- Round 2: Special Stage Route X
- Round 3: Cape Ring
- Round 3: Circuito de Madrid
- Round 4: Eiger Nordwand Short Track
- Round 4: Road Course – Indy
- Round 5: Suzuka Circuit
- Round 5: Tokyo R246
- Round 6: Eiger Nordwand Short Track
- Round 6: The Top Gear Test Track
- Round 7: London
- Round 7: Special Stage Route 5
- Round 8: Circuit de la Sarthe 2009
- Round 8: Twin Ring Motegi East Short Course
Finally, Kazunori Yamauchi answered a question via Twitter that many GTPlanet users have been asking: when will you be able to claim the prizes earned in the GT Academy 2012 mini-game in Gran Turismo 5?
Responding in English, Kazunori stated that “all the prizes will be sent out together when the 8 week event is over.” Thanks to all of you who sent this in so quickly!
See more articles on GT Academy 2012, Kazunori Yamauchi, Twin Ring Motegi, and Twitter.
just a guess but if we get a maintenance notice on GT5, the last week of GTA Challenge, we could be getting Twin Ring along with our 8 academy cars. (Hopeful)
To say this about Motegi it be great for DLC yes but GT6 might have it, but the new cars that everyone don’t want is still a want for me even tracks, but Porsches who cares give me a real german car the Gumpert Apollo S, or the BMW V12 LM in premium for free, Porsches are just butt backwards Beetles and I’ll have them on forza later this month but still I’d take em in GT5 but seeing that happen is slim, I rather have more American autos from 2009-12 and Euro autos from the same years, and the new tracks be great, bring back Motegi, Red Rock, Infeneon,then bring out Montreal, and maybe Silverstone. But for cars keep them minimum but at least bring good ones out.
round 3 and 4 has monza, le sarthe and nurburgring also.
wonder if round 8 will be the signatech / Nissan LMP2 race car?? ha
i finally got around to downloading gt academy 2012 yesterday. i love it so far… its nice and easy. i have the leaf and silva comin to me now. i was figuring the academy was gonna be a bunch of time trial races, not license events lol. oh well it looks great and this was my first time on stage route x. love it.
Why wasn’t this part of GT5’s release? It was in GT4 and GTPSP! I’d love to see this as part of a DLC (or even a free update, but that’s wishful thinking). I mean, 4 extra layouts alone right there! Now if we can do something about Infineon…
Well. You can say PD has the tracks already, may see them in GT6 or hoping for GT5’s DLC. This one is like a preview of them.
Simple answer: Higher resolution. Maybe weather and day/night cycles.
I’m looking forward to driving on Motegi, even if it is only in the GTA 2012 Demo though. Although it would be nice to have the track in GT5 to race on too.
I would like to add also, that there has been a new A-Spec seasonal available, and the OCD has been updated a few moments ago!
+1
Indeed would like this, the oval track would make nascar fun, the roadcourse for sports cars and gt racing even f1, and maybe Infeneon for NASCAR, and F1 be very good to bring to GT5
Technically speaking, Twin Ring Motegi isn’t necessarily confirmed in GT5 due to it’s appearance in GT Academy. I’ll hold out excitement until the official announcement is made. Unless I’m wrong and it’s been confirmed already.
What they need to do is release a GT2 pack. That game had the best cars and the best tracks. I regret getting rid of it.
I would like to have Porsche in this game, especially the 917! It would be nice to cruze around on your favorite tracks with a new 991, GT3 RS 4.0, or GT2 RS. Anybody else agree? Who am I kidding of course you would agree.
100% agree, Porsche is premier when it comes to GT racing and the 917 is arguably the best Le Mans car of all time, and since Le Man cars seem to be pinnacle of the game, then how can we not have a 917? Boy would I love to rip around Le Mans in a Gulf liveried 917, feeling like Steve McQueen.
Forget new cars, new tracks is where its at guys.
Yep, I agree with you NewCadillac. I would love to drive GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 RS and Panamera Turbo S on GT 5.
YES, SIR.
While new tracks are nice, new cars are sorely needed, at least race cars. There race car selection is so varied its hard to get a large field.
Never going to happen, and you can blame EA for that one, they have an exclusive license to use there cars in video games
We’d all love Porsches, but we all know that EA’s holding them back.
I would love to see porsche…my favorite cars in the world.
I want a new Cadillac! My opinion on Porsche is, they failed to be accessible for all through their exclusive Contract to EA. No matter the amount of money EA wants, PD shouldn´t pay it, NO WAY! It´s up to Porsche, they had the chance not to renew the contract, but they failed once more!
@Flaco13 AGREED!!!
Meh, Porsche would seem like an alright addition, but the 911 just gets too repetitive. Like what Jeremy Clarkson said in one of the auto vistas in FM4, “Another addition to the weekly turbocharged beetle” LOL
And while EA clearly has it’s exclusive licensing, it’s on Porsche’s part where they see EA games promote their cars (Which, I don’t agree one bit, hence TVR, if you know those guys, actually had their sales increase DRAMATICALLY, when GT one came out)
Maybe if PD could nab a deal, and Porsche sees some kind of increase in profit, or finds Kaz a pretty cool guy in general, they could get some kind of separate licensing deal, maybe even sub-license worthy, if you don’t mind seeing horrible ricers in GT5.
@Flaco13 I agree with you too!! Porshe is great but if they are so stupid not $$allowing$$ themselves be in GT5 is their fault not PD.
Agreed. The fact that Forza 4 is getting a Porsche DLC Pack later this May (May 22nd I believe), Polyphony will need to compete with this with, like say, an updated RUF roster, or even Gemballa. Or even somehow strike their own deal with EA.
Porsche is great and I’d love to see them in this game (as well as some other features), but it’s due to exclusivity with EA that prevents them from doing so. Even at that, it’s still partially Porsche’s fault for renewing the contract again. This is why certain game developers should not hold any licensing right to certain manufacturers (especially EA). Turn 10 (with their Forza Motorsport franchise) may have exclusive rights to Ferrari on the 360 and PC (I’m not sure if that extends to the PS3 as well, I don’t think it does), the difference is that they’re willing to license out the rights for other developers to utilize Ferrari in their games a lot more than EA and Porsche will. Look back and see how many games featured Porsche while EA had the contract.
And with the whole “Polyphony nabbing a sub-license for Porsche,” I’m not sure if they can do that as they already have a contract with Nissan.
Porsche – Bah humbug! admittedly they are high spec and attractive cars… to some peeps. Are the rest of you ‘tards there are RUF’s in the game what are those exactly pray tell- Scotch Mist? As to the question of why well it goes like this… EA’scontracts/ eaclusivity deals (yawn) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
^ I guess your brain is as small as a pebble, figures…. Surprisingly, how does GT sell well without Porsche being in their game. Oh wait, you don’t have an anwser to that, AND won’t be able or bother to reply to it. Figures again…. I don’t even know why Porsche is even teamed up with EA when EA is hardly showcasing their cars, so that’s Porsche’s fault IMO.
Because EA may know T10 will always attempt to getting the license as a deal, EA can abuse the license by probably costing it more and more. I hope T10 knows what they’re doing, and wish them good luck with that, just because people will stop buying their games because of Porsche. I would rather hopefully see Porsche come to GT6 if possible, cause I bet PD and Sony will be more careful enough not to felt for EA’s trap, since GT sells a lot, and EA knows people will eagerly want Porsche in GT so they’ll cost PD or Sony a lot just to get the license.
That’s RUF is the best solution. Sad, but true, IMO again…
Fyi, forza doesn’t include any Porsches until the dlc they’ll be receiving. That is, according to wikipedia. Need for Speed is our enemy, not so much forza, because Electronic Arts developed and has the licensing rights over Porschein the NFS series. EA didn’t event grant forza a sublicense to use Porsche in their game. Some deal must’ve been made to allow them to use Porsche in their upcoming dlc.
^23 (I believe) of them are from previous games – so Forza HAS had Porsches, just not Forza 4 (yet).
I know it’s been thrown around, but I don’t want to see the Delta Wing in GT Academy or on the track. It won’t be in GT Academy because NO PART OF THE CAR IS A NISSAN, and it is Nissan GT Academy, so a non-Nissan won’t happen. Now my rant on why it shouldn’t race and this first point is especially important and I’m honestly stunne it hasn’t been a talking point.
First off, I don’t think the Delta Wing should even be on track. Regardless of the technology or what ever, the car isn’t safe. I mean just look at the thing, see where the driver sits? If it is crashes into a barrier at the angle or spins and gets t-boned or something like that the driver’s legs have no protection what so ever. His legs will be right up o the side of that narrow structure. Ya wann’a know what it’s gonn’a look like? Alex Zanardi’s crash that cost him his legs. Honestly, against the brute force of a car with a full nose, say a R18, instead of a CART and without the sidepods to desipate energy I think it could be worse. Keep in mind that not only did Zanardi lose both his legs, but he also died 3 times in the hospital and was revived.
Second off, and this is something indycar driver Mike Conway pointed out in an interview back when the deltawing was being considered for indycar, it will be vary difficult for the driver to guide the car. What Mike Conway said was that indycar drivers use those front wheels to judge opening and that’s how they know the back of the car will fit, because both wheels come out the same amount. With the deltawing the front wheels are drastically further inward then the back, creating a problem judging dustance. I also pity the driver of the deltawing in the wet because the grip is not created mechanically or aerodynamically over the car. It is created from the shape of the car’s undertray, and when it’s water and not air under it it will be a mess.
The engine is a Nissan engine in the Deltawing. A 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged Nissan engine.
You really gonna bring safety into the argument? Get real bro. I think the governing body of le mans knows a lot more than you, not to mention these guys are pros. And if it was unsafe, GT5 is the perfect place for it. The X1 would be deadly to drive in the real, difference is the delta wing isn’t. People have driven it already. It will be great fun if it makes it to GT5, so bugger off you bellend
The engine is “badged” as a Nissan, but what it actually is is the Cheverolet World Touring Car engine out of the Chevy Cruz rebranded as a Nissan. Nissan hasn’t actually done any work into developing or making it all, they are just buying it from Chevy and slapping a Nissan badge on it. The car is even more of an Aston Martin then a Nissan, as the deltawing is built off of the tub of the failed Aston Martin AMR-One, which deltawing purchased. So this car is actually more of a Chevrolet and an Aston Martin then a Nissan.
And I’m sorry but last time I checked safety was kind of an important deal. Indycar chassis are deemed safe as injury and deaths happen there. Auto racing will never fully safe and that is excepted and there will always be risk of injury. However, if the FIA / ACO had thought to mention the car safety might be a concern, which from looking at it we could conclude, they would have said they looked into and insured it but they haven’t. I haven’t seen anything from deltawing about it, so clearly it hasn’t crossed many Mundas. But I’ll tell ya what, if you can tell me how a 220 mph impact from an LMP1 car at the front-front/middle area is safe then I’ll give it to you.
The delta wing and almost all professional racing leages, F1, NASCAR, le mans, etc. are actually safer than the cars we drive on the road. Also its a video game. Have you ever gotten killed in a game by getting tboned by a tank car or X1 at high speed? I didn’t think so
Well first of all, I said GT Academy, not the game here people. So what I’m saying here is that it shouldn’t be in GT Academy because it is fully a joke to call it a Nissan, and it shouldn’t be aloud to race because car is straight up dangerous. But I said it shouldn’t be in GT Academy, I don’t really care if the car is in the game or not. Read the start of my original moment again people.
Sorry Amac500, the engine is definitely a Nissan, and its derived from the 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged engine used in the Nissan Juke. Nissan are quite proud of the Direct Injection technology used in it. Its got no connection to the Chevrolet WTCC car.
Where did ya here that, because on speedtv.com John Dagy said when it was announced that Nissan gave the engine that it was a rebadged engine from the Chevy Cruz world touring car. It also said that on Mulsannescorne.com, speedhunters.com and all the other big name sites. Sorry man but ya gotta do your research, it’s a documented fact that it is a rebadged Chevy Cruz WTC engine.
By the way, bloody good website that mulsannescorner.com is. Really interesting stuff on there. Thanks!
No problem, one of my favorite sites for sure. A race fan can learn alot there.
KY if you read these pages please give us a “SELECT YOUR OPPONENTS FEATURE” in arcade mode.
+1
Without this arcade is useless.
it would be nice if we could race against DLC cars in GT5. e.g. 2012 Nissan Gt-R or 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.
i would think that the cars we get for getting gold will be exclusive for people who take part but as for the track it will be released with future dlc dont forget about the acura nsx concept that we seen a video of we haven’t got that yet so i think its safe to say there will be new content around the time the academy finished and the cars that we are winning are the same thats in the game just with a gt academy sign on it so really your not missing out on much
What about other players who can’t download and play the “academy” ? They won’t get any new cars and tracks? I am asking because I am one of them who been lefted outside the academy…
You won’t get the cars, but the track should be DLC.
the only thing the prize cars have is a GT academy livery. you aren’t missing anything
????????????
the one with other cars
jordon in round 2 one of the sections is nurburgring how come its not listed above ?
Nice catch nobody noticed it before.
Well, I noticed it. Cape Ring isn’t pictured for the first round; Eiger Nordwand isn’t shown for the second round. I figured the pictures were simply previews, because the site only showed two pictures/tracks for each round.
Hi PD, as a Canadian, how can I get my track and car rewards into my copy of GT5? I don’t care to compete for GT Academy, I won’t win by a longshot and I accept that, I just want the prizes if I may earn them.
@ the end of the event. 1 month 3 weeks approx.
Very nice! When I first got GT5, I was a little bummed that Motegi was missing. I went to practice all of the courses on the first week and wondered “Where the heck is Motegi?” Good to see it returning now.
@another_jakhole
Dont even begin to think you can go there.
Zm
This game is dead. No more new content.
Why do you say that when a new track was just announced? And “No more new content” doesn’t define a game as “dead”, if so many people still play it.
how is this game dead, this game is amazizing lol
Funny…still seems to be spinning daily in my PS3!
he has to be sarcastic here. I mean seriously, they add content literally every week now, not to mention the occasional DLC. Though those occasions are becoming WAY TOO RARE!!! GT5 is still further from dead than forza was within it’s first week. If you compare the people playing, it’s true. Not to mention, the only thing they add is DLC, and that’s only to take the money of the poor sapps who actually bought that game.
“This game is dead. No more new content.”
-1. Like it’s great to bring complaints to help improve the game, and I truly understand that, BUT. When you bring something similar like this up, THAT’s going overboard… If you find the game dead, GO PLAY A DIFFERENT ONE, such as the “other racer” or give TDU 2 a chance. Or better yet. DO SOMETHING IN THE REAL WORLD. Honestly…
@TomBrady +1. To be honest, I laughed at ending part in your sentense, cause it’s true. XD
says the deadcat
You gotta face it. I got a feeling PD already started in minimizing their support and development for GT5. I feel that they are currently focusing on GT6, which I hope GT6 will have a whole new game play and hope they will get rid of ‘standard’ cars!
They seems to be focusing on branding instead. Look at all the sudden increase in GT sponsorship in those racing event, you dont see that before GT5 era. Making Gran Turismo a world wide brand before releasing GT6 (where they will learn from their GT5 mistakes).
^ You do have a point. 0.0
“I got a feeling PD already started in minimizing their support and development for GT5. I feel that they are currently focusing on GT6”
That means GT5 is dead?
Btw I was only being sarcastic anyway. New A-spec seasonal came out, and OCD updated. :D
Although not my personal favourite, if Motegi would become available in some way, it’d be pretty interesting seeing the different sections.
A complete comments section full of ignorance and complaints. What a waste of space. If I were Jordan I’d be sorely tempted in wiping the entire thing clean and starting over right here and now.
Is it so damn difficult for you people to stick to the subject at hand, which is verification of future Academy content? Must it always boil down to the whiners and complainers coming out of the woodworks to bitch and gripe about how much they hate the game? Go away already, we’ve all heard it before and I for one am pretty well sick and tired of seeing and reading about it every other sentence.
As for what this particular news article is about, I think it’s great that we get Motegi again after so long. I had fun racing there in the past. I’m not doing stellar in the Academy this year, but I am enjoying it for what it’s worth to me.
+1 for that. Yeah there has been a far more noticable bunch of Whiners and complainers about the place recently.
To try and keep on topic, I am looking forward to the next couple of rounds over the on coming weeks. I have no chance in getting a qualifiable time, also being over 40 (sigh) I cant really see myself doing an assault course with younger people….. probably need some paramedics on hand., but I am looking forward to taking and being part of the experience. I enjoy GT5 and look forward to if and any more DLC that appears.
I’ve seen many comments like this made before telling complainers to go away and whatnot. Hate to break it to you, but I doubt it’s going to change. Just being real here.
As much as I hate to admit it MuoMiuLa, I’m afraid you’re right. It’s the mentality of “if enough of us gripe about it we’re bound to get noticed” that’s at fault here”.
Hypocritical statements are amusing.
BEA-Utiful.
Exactly my feelings and about GT Academy.
Im pretty sure Jordan started this forum sight to get well rounded amount of opinions, positive or negative, to have true strong debate about our fave game. Im not one for calling people stupid cuz they have suggestions or complaints bout GT5’s shortcomings. It’s not your place to tell me i can’t. It would appears that most posts are on subject and you are in a mood to play “GTPLANET FORUM BAD BOY ENFORCER. The internet makes everyone look tougher. lol get over yourself.
^Agreed…the people who do not care about this game would not be here, having complaints and gripes does not translate into hate. I played Forza 3 for 2 yrs straight, and I never visited this site once…and why would I.
this guy needs to get off his self-righteous high horse and get with the program, not because this is “GTPlanet” does mean we should just come here and blindly praise GT5, that would hurt the game more than it would help, and I think Jordan understands that.
As far as being off topic goes…. actually that is kinda a problem here.
@ MyFavoriteGame said it best, nuff said.
There’s a difference between say you don’t care for something and
“This is when you realize what a trainwreck this game is. When PD and Kazumoron can’t even stick to the ‘promise’ of DLC Every 2 Months.
Zm”
There’s no point to that, because it constantly gets brought up even though there was never a fixed schedule for DLC. It was a simple “probably” and approximation from Kaz.
i wish there was a like button. you are bang on with your statements
Seeing as my name does in fact have a meaning; I think now is a good time to put it to use…
Australia doesn’t get GT Academy – Zamado.
My name too.
I can’t believe how sorry some people are. GO A-WAY!
All these circuits in just 3GB?
I assume there might be an update each time new rounds become available, just a guess though.
Is it that hard to give every country GT Academy.
Sydney and Melbourne have been voted most liveable cities.
Yet, we have our own racing series, v8 supercars, they came to bathurst (PD) for GT6.
Yet we can’t get GT academy.
Wow, top notch work PD.
i dont care if it makes no sense^
Is it hard to give every country GT Academy.
In australia, motosports and gaming are huge.
V8 supercars, inwhich PD went to Bathurst track to take photo’s for GT6.
Mark webber at F1 and other aussie drivers at nascar.
Were a good country with a thriving economy.
2 of our major cities rated most liveable.
So were not bad.
Were not in debt.
We love our sports
We produce good sports people.
We have a large GT5 community.
It doesnt make any sense. U give USA it and they… are in debt, they fought against u in WW2, there further away geographically than us.
Its ridiculous. You could have made it combined with oceania, but no..its to damn dificult.
Australia foguht against Japan in WW2 too… At least learn just a little history before spewing dumb and ignorant crap. And lots of countries got left out. Not just Australia.
Are you really using WW2 as an excuse for a country not being in a video game competition?? How low do you have to be just to bitch like that? Also, has it occured to you that Austrailia isnt the only one not in the competition? (Does Canada not ring a bell?). And finally, STOP BLAMING PD. You want to bitch constantly about this issue, blame SCE NZ then. They are the real Reason Austrailia/New Zealand isn’t getting GT Academy.
I love Japan, hate war, and am from the US. WWII was also before my time. So you’re saying that because of where my parents happened to live when I was born, I should not be as eligible as you to play a video game? You’d be American too if your parents had moved here before you came into existence. Stop sounding so butt-hurt. You change the scale to near prejudice levels over what may be licensing issues and territorial laws. (All ingamee manufacturers must also agree to licensing/advertising/logo use etc.) Really, you don’t know the ins & outs, so why not make an account where it is available & chill out before you incite WWIII up in here.
Lol, & it was a PR guy @ that! It wasn’t Kaz, or ANYONE directly involved in the production of the Gran Turismo series.
You can’t use World War II as an excuse. How did U.S. made it to GT Academy if they nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Probably the most ridiculous thing Ive heard in awhile, as if gt academy has any bearing on 40’s politics.
This is when you realize what a trainwreck this game is. When PD and Kazumoron can’t even stick to the ‘promise’ of DLC Every 2 Months.
Zm
There weren’t any promises made.
It’s usually called a promise if they announce something. They do not have to say “We/I promise.” for something to be a promise. If they find out they can’t stick with it, they should say it. Not leave everyone in the dark.
promise or not, a new real world track is always good!
They said “about”. How is that a promise? How is that even?
Yup. There was never a “schedule” as some people like to think.
Lol, it was a PR guy @ that! It wasn’t Kazunori or ANYONE directly involved in the development of the GT series.
Moron. It’s not what a train wreck the game is. I don’t like your wording anyway but that comment should be directed at PD, not GT5. GT5 is so far from a trainwreck you have no idea because you’re crybaby little mind can’t comprehend the big picture. It’s easy also for you to ignore the seasonals we get EVERY WEEK. Even when they suck (B spec), no other game does that for you. You can’t expect everything to be exactly how you want it.
Though on the DLC situation, I would agree that PD severly needs to get their heads out of their asses. I’m sick of it always being about what Kaz feels like doing with their time. Just because they don’t value DLC as highly as we do, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t release it anyway. It’s what the customer wants. Look at forza, it may not be a simulator, but it makes it customers happy by giving them what they want on a regular schedule. Until Forza gets some GT beating physics, I don’t think it’ll ever beat GT, but if that’s really all that seperates GT from getting beaten, I really can’t see how PD can be comfortable doing things the way they are. Just because it’s Kaz’s brain child and the most successful racing franchise (NFS doesn’t count), doesn’t mean they don’t need to get with the times. I still think GT5 is the best sim ever just for it’s variety, but to me the future does not look too promising if PD can’t get their friggin act together.
It’s just specualtion, but I think it’s pretty obvious that the reason we haven’t got DLC, is because of this stupid stand alone GT Academy game. It’s cool and all, but it’s such a stupid reason to postpone DLC. We’ll see I guess, there may be more surprises, but at the moment, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being pissed at PD. Only thing is, DLC that hasn’t been released does not have an effect on GT5 as a game.
So no DLC for the next 8 weeks/2 months? Thats a lot more than the 2 monthly schedule. I sure hope it will be worth it if we have to wait that long. Especially for us in counties without GTAcademy.
+1
Seriously. Obviously Motegi’s already in the game data, so why the hell can’t they release it? I love the sim, but I hate the developer. PD needs to get their heads out of their asses
I wish that they hadn’t of: 1) Put a wing on it 2) Extensions 3) Front scoop.
I kinda figured that they were gonna be released after the GT Academy was over. its probably gonna be released with an update, possibly including photostream mode.
Makes me wonder if we should expect some cars as well, premium Nissan P35 anyone?
Whoops, I meant R89.
The only thing good about forza is the sounds of the engines. Otherwise that car is all about the cars lokking pretty not the driving. It kills me people complain about this and that yet we played the hell outta Gt3 And Gt4 right? with no DLC right? so why’s everyone complaining? If you dont like gt5 then quit playing the hardcore fans will live on simple as that. Like aronh17 said this game is the best sim on consoles and GT will most likley always be just that. You guys gotta remember its not PD’s fault that somethings are missing its playstation who rushed em Kaz wanted at least 2 more years for this game. It would have been amazing.
Im with with. Would I like a to have few different cars, of course. The bottom line is I am a fan of the dynamics and there isn’t anything I’ve seen on a concil that can compete. When we get the cars you can believe they will be accurate and worth the wait.
Everyone’s complaining because When GT3 and GT4 were around, DLC wasn’t as common. Especially on the PS2. Now DLC is a huge part of the gaming industry and it is normal for developers of games like GT5 to put out DLC. Also another reason people are complaining is because the game lacks content ESPECIALLY compared to GT4. I love the Series and GT5 but one has to wonder what they were doing throughout the whole 5 years of developing it. 5 years is half a decade and is more than enough time to develop a game like GT5.
@ Rushton. Dlc aside GT5 improved less in offline mode compared to all other previous iterations. We have less tracks, less events and many expected features missing. Car customization has been around since Tokyo Extreme Racer and NFS:U days. But here we are more than 10 years later and we’ve barely done a slight shuffle forward with some cars allowing basic mods, while most only allow paint changes. With the most horrible paint editor known to man, mediocre rim selection, and a supercar lineup that leaves you wanting. While games like MCLA & TDU2 even do a better job, dare I mention that Xbox game. Rally has stepped back too. Ugh, I wish these developers would just MERGE already.
Forza is better then GT in literally every other way except physics, period. With the exception of the poor physics it is probably the best racing game ever. I love gran turismo, but if Forza ever starts improving their physics engine (which they have been little by little) it will render GT obsolete. Keep in mind it took to gt5 to get respectable physics, and judging by the efficiency of Forza, they might just reach that mark with FM5. GT was a great game, but if they don’t arrive as a game in the new gaming generation, I fear they will be lost to us.
@lebes14
Yea, agree. PD are going to have to release GT6 on time (hopefully on the PS3) AND make it good as in REALLY GOOD. GT5 was a good game but a disappointment to GT series. If it was a new developer, it would be forgiven. But PD have been in the business for over a decade. Although I hate to admit it, the fact is Forza is rising quickly and is a masterpiece. PD need to do something big and quick. Otherwise interest in the series will drain away. They should start with listening to us, their fans.
@Metallica: Do you even own Forza 4? There are MANY other things that Forza does better than GT, not just sounds.
And waiting 7 years for ANY game is ridiculous.
@MuoNiula. And you know that we waited for only 5 years?
@Metallica:
For one thing, why did you IMMEDIATELY bring up Forza? I’m just tired of hearing about it on the news section now.
But anyways, the reason so many people are complaining about GT5 is because it didn’t live up to the “Gran Turismo Standards” that the previous titles lived up to; everything was complete, and technically there was more content. Sure, GT5 has 1000 cars, but just about all of the standard cars (80% of the cars) are directly ported from the previous games, an look terrible, and we’ve got about half the amount of tracks that the previous game had. Plus, A-Spec and AI is really crap compared to GT1, 2, 3, and 4. I think an easy way to re-boot GT5 is by having an “event pack” with around 100 new events using cars and performance ranges/restrictions that really haven’t been used. We really just want DLC and updates to fill the gaps where GT5 falls short, though I’d rather PD focus on GT6, so that we get a proper GT in the future, and not have to worry about a bad game (to GT standards) for a longer period of time.
@Metallica81 FM4 blows gt5 out of the water i dont know what you are on about. 30 new Porsches as DLC ten cars a month since launch. Dont get me started. Gt5 is a mere shadow of what Gran Turismo used too stand for.
Honestly had this been the first gran turismo ever made, there would never be a second, gt5 is surviving off of past glory, let’s hope that’s not the case with gt6.
I feel accomplished knowing that I sent Kaz a tweet this morning ;)
so do i,but it would be innapropriate to explain how i came about this feeling..
Im sure he gets like over 8000 a day.
Unless 100 of them are asking desperatly for the same thing.
he might make an effort to fix it
haha it’s not 8,000 a day. He’d get about 100 on fast days; 25-50 on normal days.
On the topic of GT5 losing fans, let them go. GT5 is the king of racing simulators on console and while we may lose a few due to not having a livery editor or being able to get a certain type of rim, the important thing is there will still be some of us that will play this game for one thing, to DRIVE the cars. There are over 1,000 differently handling cars in this game and plenty of tracks along with a track editor. Do me a favor, look at the differences between Forza 3 and Forza 4. In fact, the differences between 2 and 4 and then look at the difference between Gran Turismo 4 and 5. Look at what PD has done in terms of physics and car count along with their track editor, night and day transition, rain, snow and more. All Forza is doing is repackaging the same game with some cars and events. Heck the cars that started in Forza 1 have the same body upgrades every single game without an addition to the selection. Note, when I was saying look at the differences between them, I was not talking about graphics although I believe Forza 2 was the best one in the franchise in terms of looks.
Forza looks and feels fake
I wouldn’t go as far as to say they look fake, the interior textures aren’t as good but the exteriors are much better, more then likely due to them having 800,000polygons, there are some issues with some of the modeling on gt5, mainly pixelation around the doors and cracks as well as on liveries. This, even without HDMI, fm4 eliminated. Now I’m a huge fan of GT, been playing it since it came out, but to take away from Forza it’s obvious accomplishments and excuse GT’s short comings is a little absurd.
@aronh17: GT5 may have those things it’s overall game structure shows very little improvement since GT4. The career mode is shallow. Customization is still poor. Rally has actually received LESS attention than it did in GT4. I can go on.
At least Forza already has a good foundation to stand on. And just like you want to bring in GT’s new features like track editor and weather, Forza has Rivals mode, autovista, and even Top Gear, which is implemented better than GT5.
*but its
Yea you guys seriously gotta quit crying. Im sure its alot harder to pump out DLC all the time than you guys think. And here we are getting new cars and probably a new track and your still crying. Yea I know the cars ( for now ) arnt really ‘new’ but who cares….
So does anybody know if TRM will be a downloadable track????
While the photo of the track is authentic, there is no conformation that track will be DLC for GT5. You can only hope that it will be. But don’t get your hopes too high.
I couldn’t care less about Twin Ring. Honestly it was one of my least favorites.
This.
Not this.
Not that^, but this> TRM was flat, very “stop and go” (as mentioned earlier by someone else), and in GT4, it was always dusk. Races were fun there, but not the “high speed break-neck apex” kinda fun, but the “precise late braking pass, last minute win, I never wanna go through that again, but I feel accomplished now that it’s over” kind of fun. It wasn’t very scenic, and it’s “wide open” nature didn’t give a great sense of speed. I’d much rather have a more unique track like Citta di Aria, Seattle, Midfield, Costa di Amalfi, Cathedral, Tahiti, Swiss, Apricot, George V, or Smokey. Even Las Vegas with its split lanes would feel more refreshing. TRM, other than it’s high speed downhill section into a 90° right through an overpass and some decent drift turns, was one of the least memorable tracks in the GT series. (I only played the full course layout.) Anyways, to each their own, I was agreeing as it’s just my opinion.
More so it doesn’t offer much different than what you can find in a combination of Fuji, Suzuka, & Monza.
forza looks better and better. (tear)
To me Forza 4 looks overdone. Too much lighting and saturation. Even if it were better to me, the looks of the game are not everything. It honestly looks like Forza 3 on track racing and only looks good in autovista. The cars look like plastic because they are overshined like the cars were in GT5 Prologue.
At least it doesn’t have pixelated reflections/liveries and the track textures are properly done. Common’ give them their dues, their physics suck but that is the only legitimate reason it would be the worse game. It’s cars are modeled to a higher degree then GT, at least their exterior, and so it seems are their tracks. To take that away from them is just being unfair, however their physics…that’s a different story, rented it over the weekend. While the graphics,structure, content, customization, and online structure were better, their physics have to far to go for my cup of tea. Although GT has a way to go too.
@aronh17
Well said. That’s how I feel. I’d still like to buy FM4 with a really expensive wheel if I could afford it.
Forza DOES have better crash physics however. (I don’t know about modelling, but it doesn’t make you pivot on some ridiculous, unimaginable axis like a ballerina. Ugh, CodeMasters and PD should hook up.
OFF TOPIC! Has anyone heard if PD has gotten any rights to Porsche? I know they are adding 30 Porsche’s To Forza 4 May 22nd, I hope Pd adds some to this game as well i’ll have them on Forza but i’d rather have them on GT5.
That would require PD to multitask…. Don’t be silly!!!
@RobDoggy05:
So PD working on GT5, GT Academy, and GT6 isn’t multitasking…?
And @KYD302:
T10’s had Porsche in previous games before, they had just been using sub-license deals. I think EA may have denied a new Sub-license for T10 because of NFS: The Run, which HEAVILY sponsored the new 2012 911. This would increase sales for the greedy pigs, and ruin the fun for other gamers. They probably allowed the sub-license now because The Run’s been out for a good amount of time now. Plus, (I believe) there’s 37 Porsches coming to Forza 4, but 30 of them are from previous games, so really, only 7 NEW cars are being added.
@Quakebass
No, it’s 30 total.
23 from old Forza’s, and 7 new to series.
I heard EA’s license has completely expired as far as exclusivity goes meaning free reign for anyone willing to spend the money which PD isn’t afraid to do, But if PD could give more modern versions of the RUF versions that would be enticing, The versions they had on TDU2 would be intriguing even if i only see one 2010+ 911 premium on the game i would be happy. If PD doesn’t add one newer Porsche/Ruf to the game with Forza releasing Porsche’s back to there game then Gt5 is going to lose more fans then they have recently, I wish Car makers wouldn’t do the exclusives for certain games there fan base would grow more if every game featured there products not just some half ass company (EA). Forza and Gran Turismo make up most of the race fans in the game industry and for Porsche to sell out to EA who makes crap games is a joke and finally Forza and Gran turismo imo should be sold on both platforms and even on PC. GT5 on xbox would suck because it’s limitations are so low but it would be nice to be able to have one console and play any game instead of spending money on three systems to play the games we want. I mean in the next two years i’ll have to go buy a new Xbox 720 and a PS4 not to mention i’ll have to either upgrade my pc or replace it completely which means alot of money and in this economy is hard for most people i’m fortunate enough to own my own business and make enough money to have all three systems at my disposal but most people can’t even make enough money to make rent or there car payments let alone buy a game console.
no deals yet between porsche and pd. any porsche content (assuming porsche and polyphony are even considering a deal ) will be on gt6. im no big ea advocate, but can’t fault their “hustler” mentality. its bout getting paid, not to mention pd has never been dlose to having a porsche (ruf is cool i guess but in a perfect gt world we would have both brands) in any of the previous gt itterations. the question is why not?
@Goshin2568:
Well I was right about the “7 new cars” part!
The RTurbo and RT12 are must haves. Also, a Ruf version of the Carrera GT would be interesting.
All I really want is the Carrera GT. Even if it’s one of the tuner versions like gemballa, ruf, don’t care. We already got 911s kind of, though a GT3 rs and GT2 would be cool. I think what GT5 really needs is the Carrera GT. GT5 needs more supercars and less garbage compact cars and electrics.
GT5 can have more supercars, BUT the “garbage” compact cars & electrics MUST be kept.
imo
The “garbage” compact cars are what make GT5 a Gran Turismo game. We need those. There are a ton of people, including me, that play GT games mainly for those weaker cars.
Understandable, but @ this point I’d take 10 – 20 standard modelled super/hypercars over 40 – 50 premium street cars (sub-M3/GT500/Supra/Evo levels).
Of course it’s round 8!!
I cant believe people are still complaining. Thankyou PD for giving me the opportunity to play in the GT academy for FREE and continueing to add content to GT5.

+1, however I don’t mind the complaints, everyone has their own opinion, it makes for good conversation, ideas, debates, and the like, and following the crowd is weak. Change doesn’t come by being a follower, so feel encouraged and entitled to speak your mind. Matter of fact, your complaint about others complaints is a complaint. Just give an opinion like every body else and stfu. We don’t all complain because we hate GT, I like GT and want it to conquer the market. I hate to see GT fall behind so, I speak(type) on it. Isn’t that what these forums are for? Commenting?
+1 szrt. I love GT, I don’t want them to be taken over by their last gen mentality and would like to voice my opinions in the off chance they see them. It’s not like PD is doing a government run service, our money allows them to make games, our money makes their business and shapes their business, thus it makes sense that they outta listen to the people who keep them going.
There’s a difference between useful complaining and
“But noooooo!!!! Who gives a rats *** about thoes who cant play GTA 2012, AKA me, here in South Africa (Which is where Jody Scheckter came from may I add), now everyone will have cars that I cannot get and apparently a track… And Im not the only one….”
That’s pathetic ^^
I knew that the cars would all be released at the end.
lets see the new Nissan Deltawing for round 8, it does have Le Mans as a track
That would be awesome
LEAF
I think it would be better to see a new R18 Ultra or the E-tron quattro, but like you said, and one post i saw, they are nissan only cars. But this could mean that if we are to use the delta wing, there is a chance that we could see themed car packs! THAT IS WHAT IM ASKING FOR “””AFTER””” everything is over and all is done.
I’m praying that we at least get the Nissan LMP2 in round eight. But if we got the Delta Wing I’d be even more excited.
I disagree. I love the R18 in rfactor but the delta wing is so much more interesting, and you know GT5 would be the first to have it (officially, a modder might create one in rfactor but it wouldn’t be as high quality). Right now, the Delta Wing is possibly the coolest race car they could add right now other than a Lotus 49. It’s weird, Kaz loves cars from the 60s but no Lotus 49? That cars a legend. In my opinion, GT5 needs more open wheeled cars in general
@tombrady, yes, even in the form of a formula BMW or trainer car. Like rfactor’s trainer. Or perhaps a new generic like FGT with several liveries to chose from, then the ability to chose a livery’s base color, and also the ability to change the cars aero kit in GT auto to make it optimized like different f1 cars are optimized. Tie that in with a new F1 track and we’d have some epic online fun.
But noooooo!!!! Who gives a rats *** about thoes who cant play GTA 2012, AKA me, here in South Africa (Which is where Jody Scheckter came from may I add), now everyone will have cars that I cannot get and apparently a track… And Im not the only one….
Everyone can download GTA 2012, no matter what country you’re from. It’s just some countries can’t compete for the grand prize – a chance to be a real race car driver. You can still get all the cars and probably Twin Ring Motegi. You need to read the articles more carefully man.
we were looking all over the south african psn store thing and couldnt find it anywhere
GTA 2012 is NOT in our psn, and I doubt creating a new ps account on a US or EU will calibrate our South African profiles with the US/EU profiles so will be pointless…
ppl have a misconception of africa. we dont ride camels to work and we dont keep lions as pets, infact most south africans have never even seen one. the only difference between south africa and the uk is the location and we dont have a queen, instead our president have 6 wives lol
yip, PD need to come out of their own Japanese bubble once in a while, and realise Japan isnt the only country in this world
Lol at Justin’s description of Africa. I have never seen a lion either. But I don’t have lions in my country so… But anyway, Rob, yeah you can create an account under a different country and download this game. I have made a North American account, which gives me access to their PS store, including their downloads. I did it because their PS Home is better and has more features. So stop complaining and get playing. lol
I HAVE ALL REGOINS ACCOUNTS AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD GTA
oops,*runs from famine
only in US ,ASIA,EU
Make a US account then send the new cars to your SA account, it’s worth a try
I can’t believe how deluded people act. It’s madness!
I’m happy and very pleased that PD are offering the Motegi track for us. Hopefully there will be other variations of the tracks with day/night and/or weather cycles included as well.
If we get Motegi I’ll be very surprised if we do not get both tracks (There’s both a traditional race track and an oval hence the name “twin ring” Motegi). But I agree – variations in weather and time of day would be so sweet.
I barely remember Motegi in GT4, I think the track was set in sunset. I don’t remember the oval one though. I wouldn’t be that surprise if we don’t get both tracks though, since it may be free and maybe other variations would be available for GT6. But we’ll have to see.
I would complain about another GT-R, because we are all thinking it, but it is Nissan GT Academy so it was only expected. Hopefully we do some good Nissans in this deal though, get some actual racing ones. The first that comes to mind is the #26 Signatech Oreca Nissan LMP2 car from 2011, the one that had GT Academy decals on it and that the GT Academy winner drove to secon on the LMP2 podium I believe? The #41 Zytek Nissan that won LMP2 at Le Mans last year also comes to mind, but the Signatech Oreca Nissan is much more likely and, honestly, I think it’s the only Nissan not in the game yet that I actually want them to add!
Separate comment, is there going to be charging ports added to the GT Academy tracks for the Nissan Leaf and will I have to wait 8 hours for it to charge after it ran half a lap?
Drag cars. Nuf said
I’m happy we’re getting free cars and maybe a free track? It was one of my favorites on Gt4 but not to be a nag Gran Turismo really needs to learn from EA’s NFS series how many Standard Transmission vehicles have you seen or driven without a CLUTCH!!!
Also i think the game could be more interesting online with the addition of bringing back N2O. As far as cars and tracks go as with 90% of the people i want a Porsche and i would love the Street Track in Detroit it’s an awesome track and would be perfect for the American Muscle heads to go head to head in the Motor City where it all began plus the track’s a blast to drive.
Last of all we need a more modern Ford Mustang say the Boss 302 or the new Gt500 and the ZL1 Camaro and the 392 version of the challenger would be sweet. But as far as the article goes Thanks to Kaz for replying so quickly and with sarcasm included I’m So Happy Were Getting Another 10-16 Nissan’s the game is 40% Nissan as it is. But Bring on Motegi i’m more then ready for more tracks
Atleast you will get something….
whats a Standard Transmission vehicle?
@PIGBOY manual transmission with a stickshift
Does that mean that everything available as prizes will be sent to everybody at the end, like when they update the game, or do you only get them if you won them?
It’s awarded to anyone who places gold in the events but i think it would be nice if the top 10 percent from each county got a Special Edition of the car with maybe a two tone paint job or CF version just something different to say hey i worked harder or more to the point saying I NEED A LIFE lol
KYD, I died of laughter on that one!
If we don’t get this track until week 8 of GTAcademy….Then we would’ve have waited 4 months for any form of new content. Hopefully that isn’t the case and we get something new, like some Standards – Premiums or some GT4/GT3 tracks before then.
Also events,…a track without ways to use use it isn’t all that fun…I mean besides the few hrs we put in online before inevitably reverting to Nurb Nord. Common PD, be a little creative here.
So what happens for the rest of us who don’t get the GT Academy game? Hope we can get some of the extra content as DLC. So can’t wait for Twin Ring Motegi, was one of the last tracks I really began to enjoy in GT4, that and Infineon Raceway. Would love to see a few more big name tracks and real rally stages at some point, would expand the driving experience greatly, still need to improve on the rally dynamics a little though
Just curious, why not get the academy game? It’s free and it’s easy to play. Why deal with the potential hassle of not getting the game and the DLC when you could just download a free game and get it?
LOL… stop complaining about having to wait for the cars, folks. This is, as far as we can tell, FREE DLC. How can that be a bad thing?
There may be hope for Seattle Circuit coming back to life yet. Fingers crossed. (Oh, and Costa de Amalfi, Citta d’aria, Pike’s Peak, SSR11 too…)
The most supported game on the PS3, bar none. Keep it coming Kaz.
Well that’s cool! However I would have rathered get a Legit DLC but I won’t complain
Yeah! I’m also looking forward to getting the GTR. It will be my happiest GT5 day in the game…another GTR gets in my garage to collect dust. No, I’m serious guys, can’t wait.
if this track is going to be on the mini-game, then PD will surely have to put this track in a future DLC, i would also really like to see seattle circuit, both of these circuits were grat phenomenons in gt4 so who knows if they will also be it in GT5 or GT6
Can’t wait! I’ve never driven this circuit myself in gt4 so I’m very happy to see a new track! By the way I’m impressed at how quick all this new news is coming out. :D
Awwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!1!1!. There hasnt been a week that has gone by where I didnt play GT5.
So, no DLC for the last couple of months, and no DLC for another two months.
Good on ya’, PD.
No instead we got a mini game with the chance of being a real race driver. Also I take it you’ve not thought about how they would get these cars into GT5? Update and maybe a DLC track pack for Twin Ring? And tbh I’d prefer them to be working on GT6 instead of selling us stuff for GT5 that would be in GT6 anyway.
Bom, that’s what I mean by, “no DLC for another two months”. Two months being the eight weeks of this. Then we get the DLC, which is really just award cars for this.
As to GT6, I’m guessing you just don’t get the future of gaming. Neither does PD. They don’t get online gaming at all. GT6 shouldn’t come out until the PS4 comes out. GT5 should be GT for the PS3, and there should be an entire department at PD that work on this until the PS3 is sunset by Sony. Any changes that one would make for GT6 can be made as DLC for GT5. The only reason to release a new game in the modern age is because there is a new platform.
And a mini game for the chance of being a real race driver? That makes me laugh. Yeah, you go ahead with your big bad self. Let me know when you are a Nissan driver.
“No instead we got a mini game with the chance of being a real race driver” No no no no correction : SOME of us got a mini game, some of us still ride around on horses apparently, according to PD…. You guys get something.. I (and more) get jack NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New game is only warranted for a new console? I guess Forza never got that memo. Game released every two years. There has always been two GT games per console.
@ Vol Jbolaz. So you want PD to release content for GT5 even though you know that GT6 is coming one day? So all DLC in this game is included in the price for GT6. You want PD to do a Forza and release games every year with hardly any updates? You like being ripped off? Good for you. And no I never said i personally was gonna be a race driver. But it gives others the opportunity to become a race driver. Who else does that? For free? No one. So shut your mouth. Regarding your stupid comment about GT6. Forza has released 3 games for the 360. I’m not even gonna mention NFS. New games for new platforms? yeah right. GT5 was a brand new engine. One which is going to stay for the foreseeable future. So it is highly plausible for GT6 to be on PS3. As your for internet. It must be crap. Cos i don’t get any problems with online gaming on GT5.
@ Robdoggy. What you mean you get nothing? These cars we’re unlocking will be part of an update. so free. The track will most probs be a DLC. This are all things that work towards GT6.
@JC. It’s a year FM4 last year. FM Horizon this year. Or as i like to call it. FM4 Ultimate edition.
I’m just going to reply to this entire conversation;
You do realize that Sony’s trying to release the PS4 (code named “Orbis”) around holiday 2013, right? It seems that you’re expecting GT6 to come out for PS3, and honestly, it doesn’t matter if two games had been coming out for each console; this isn’t a static development frame. Plus, we’ve already had two GT’s on this console: GT5 Prologue, and GT5. No, not everything can be fixed or changed with patches. You’ve seen the size of the Spec II update; 1.1 GB. That’s 1.1 GB installed on to the system, unless you purchased a spec II disk. You’ll QUICKLY run out of hard drive space if games were updated instead of releasing new games. Especially in GT5’s case; you can’t update a game with a completely different physics engine; since GT5’s engine was built from the ground up, it wouldn’t have been possible to update GT4. (if it was able to be updated.) The more people that work on GT5, the less that can work on GT6, and therefore a slower development time. I’d much rather have some lackluster Updates and DLC and GT6 coming sooner, rather than larger updates and DLC’s andGT6 coming out several years later than it could have. ESPECIALLY since it will be using better hardware on thePS4/Orbis, it would be better for it to come out as soon as possible, though not rushed and terrible, just simply a greater workforce working on it. I do believe PD understands online gaming, it’s simply the fact that the servers suck; if they had more time, Online racing may have been better. Most of you guys should know by now that T10’s workforce is 3 times bigger than PD’s, and can therefore divide a workforce EQUAL or even GREATER than PD’s on each game; though, they’re probably putting less on Forza 4, since that’s mostly just DLC and updates right now. I’m willing to bet that at least 50-75% of PD is working on GT6, and therefore is putting much less into GT5 than GT6; in fact, I’d bet that everything we’re getting as DLC and Updates will be going into GT6, so therefore, those working on GT5 are basically working on GT6 as well…
I really wouldn’t mind if PD stopped updating GT5 entirely and moved on to GT6, as long as they gave a formal announcement about it, and gave some sort of final update or DLC o hold us off for a while. To be honest, if PD only tried to update GT5 to the state it should’ve been at release (compared to GT standards), it would take SO much longer to do than just create a new game. And really, if you’re complaining about cost, you shouldn’t have been able to afford GT5, let alone your PS3. $60 over the course of 4-6 years is NOT much at all. You’ll end up paying more for DLC, anyways.
There’s my novel.
@ quakebass. I agree with you for the most part. I think JC meant 2 full GT games to btw. I think PD know what they’re doing and it’s easier to let them get on with it. People seem to forget how much we did get for free with GT5. Fair enough alot of it should’ve been in here for a start and working properly. But at least they have tried to rectify things. Other companies wouldn’t bother. And haven’t. And regarding DLC. We were lucky to get some in the first place. It’s mainly down to the combination of Sony and customers wanting it that they gave us some. And it has been reasonably priced compared to others. I don’t really care if they bring out DLC for GT5 or not. If they do i’ll probably buy it. If they don’t I’ll spend it elsewhere. Just annoying everytime you come here it’s DLC this, DLC that.
Bom, let me get this straight… you will pay $60 for GT6 even though it is on the PS3 and uses the same engine as GT5? How dumb can you be? If it is the same engine, then it is the same game. Just make it as DLC for GT5. It saves a ton on development, it comes out faster, and you pay less for it.
There, solved that. No GT6 until PS4. So PD splits, one team working on DLC for GT5, and another team works on GT for the PS4.
Forza? So if you are such a Forza fanboi, then go play Forza.
And I never said anything about my internet. So, why are you saying it must be bad?
So, to sum up: PD should have three departments. One department releases DLC for GT for the PS3 (formerly known as GT5) on a regular schedule. They seek to secure new cars that have not previously been in the franchise, or bring back some that have been dropped. The second department works closely with Nissan to run the little GT Academy publicity stunt. The third department works on GT for the PS4. It should be ready as a launch title. It should be an online game first and foremost. It should have a standalone mode for when your internet connection is down. It should not have A-Spec or licenses that don’t mean anything. It should be a serious, robust, online game with fine controls over the lobby settings.
Again, it should be an online game with an offline mode. And it should be GT for the PS4. It will be the only GT game on that physical console. A new one won’t be released until the hardware changes.
@Vol Jbolaz:
Bom never said he WANTED GT5 on PS3, only that it was possible. Having the same engine DOES NOT mean it’s the same game; GT1, 2, 3, AND 4 ALL used the same engine, just with a few tweaks (like what we’ve gotten in updates, like the tire model). I’m expecting GT6 to run the same engine, just tweaked a bit; likely a higher-end damage model, and hopefully better roll-over physics and no blocky shadows. PD is already split between GT5 an GT6… and has been since before GT5 was released… so great idea, just PD’s already though of that. They really don’t need a separate department for GT Academy; it’s a perfectly reasonable excuse for lack of DLC. (and basically fit the requirements of “Downloadable Content”). PD jut isn’t big enough to divide their time equally between GT5 and 6, and at this rate, it’s pointless to focus more attention on GT5, especially since we know Sony’s trying to release a new console soon.
“It should not have A-Spec or licenses that don’t mean anything. It should be a serious, robust, online game with fine controls over the lobby settings.” – NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. GT has NEVER been about online racing; you have PC sims for that. GT has always been about having enough offline content to last you YEARS, which is why GT5 disappointed so many people. As much as I’d love a more robust Online GT experience, there’s WAY more important offline things, like A-Spec; the main thing that GT centers it’s self around; progressing through a career as a racing driver. I wouldn’t mind seeing B-Spec getting dropped, or if not MASSIVELY upgraded. When you have an offline experience that lasts years, you’ll most likely end up with an online experience that will last decades, as long as it was made as well as the offline counterpart. Really, GT is about the ultimate DRIVING experience, not the ultimate “ONLINE” experience. That’s why it’s called “The real driving simulator”. I believe PD could’ve done better with the online experience in GT5, but really, they could’ve done better with about EVERYTHING in the game, they just didn’t have time. If PD follows it’s history of a truly GREAT game (meaning nearly perfect and spotless, a gem of its time) with a MASSIVE array of features, I GUARANTEE you, GT6’s online experience will not disappoint you.
The notion of games having one game per console is probably the single worst idea I’ve heard all day, and I’ve spent my day on forums so I’ve heard some doozies. As most are saying, gt6 does not need “orbis” to be good. I know a lot of people won’t buy ps4 off the bat, and having gt6 on launch would rush the potentialwhence. Making a highly modernized gt6 onps3 to hold us off, then making gt7 on ps4when the ps4 is more affordable seems more logical, not to mention more inline with the past. GT6 as a launch title is a terribleand baseless idea.
@ vol. lol your funny. You should get your facts straight before bringing up nonsense. GT5’s engine will be used for GT6 maybe even GT7. Oh and Tourist trophy if they decide to bring it out again. So everything being used and introduced in GT5 will be for GT6 anyway. So let them get on with it. And yes i will pay £40 for GT6.
I’m not a Forza fanboy either retard. I hate Xboxes and how they run there stupid pay to go online crap. I also hate the way Forza charge for DLC to be released as an Ultimate edition or as they put it this time Horizon less than a year later. It’s a huge rip off/ con. Which i personally don’t want PD to follow. EA do exactly the same with NFS. Release half a frigging game and sell the other half as DLC the same day the game releases. So you want to pay £40 for your half game and pay another £20+ to make the game complete. Lol as I said. Your funny.
I mention your internet connection because I don’t suffer from lag or get disconnected from rooms. Because i have decent ISP that don’t shove 100 people on one line. The more people you have on a line the more your connection and speeds fluctuate. Maybe your problem?
PD is probably a much smaller company than you realize. Their workforce works on GT5, GT6 and GT academy. Because each will benefit the other. Everything used in GT5 and GT Academy will be used in GT6. They are all working towards the same thing.
GT5 does have offline and online. Granted the offline career mode is way too small compared to GT4 and can be improved. GT5 would be a much smaller game if it wasn’t for the online gameplay. Another thing which we hope will improve. Especially for people with crap internet.
So to sum up. Your an idiot and i have no more time for your comments. Convo over.
@Vol Jbolaz – I agree with most of what you’re saying…tho in GT games, the offline should out shadow anything else (as always). But more online modes would be great.
@Quakebass – As always we share the same view on many things…. But you gotta be careful when comparing old vs new. Yes GT has mostly been about offline AI racing, but the times are changing and human competition is quickly trumping AI. CodeMasters found a good balance in F1 2011 with AI and human drivers online, a very fun experience btw. And I’m not so sure people were disappointed with GT5 because of the lack of offline game modes. I remember rantings about online lag, standard cars, lack of damage etc…its been a while, don’t recall them all.
@Bom15 – You argue like a 13 yr old, or like a PMSing woman. You twist what the other person is saying and interpret it entirely out of context,…then you say the convo is over and expect it to be, because you said so. You’re immaturity is astounding. “I hate Xboxes and how they run there stupid pay to go online crap”….nice, nice.
It’s true. I do hate the way run there online gaming. And how EA and Turn 10 run things. And yes i know it’s how thongs are gonna go. I don’t want PD to follow suit thats all. And how i am i exactly twisting stuff?
things* not thongs.
I honestly don’t mind how Microsoft and T10 run things – Xbox Live is BY FAR better than PSN, so you really just get what you pay for. I don’t even see what T10 did wrong; they didn’t release half a game with DLC the same day… As for EA, on the other hand, I don’t like what they’re doing, at least not the NFS division. Stealing Porsche from most games, and ruined a once great series.
so all of the cars we won in GT academy will be on GT5 as soon as its over?
Well where else would they be?
I remember when I had GT4 I was wondering if we could play with nascars in Motegi superspeedway in GT5, or with a bigger grid in the road course, I think this is coming true… soon
I can’t wait for this round :) a GTR WOHOO(not being sarcastic)
Yay new news just in one day. :D Kaz actually did come to this site. Who saids otherwise hmm? >:)
Short course, with 2 long straights, one rectangular hairpin, and a tricky S section.
Which is funny really, because the image shows that then other section of the track is also drivable.
Anyone want the Oval course as well?
No we have too many oval tracks in gt no thank you
Yes I’d love another Daytona.
I don’t like Ovals but the Motegi oval is much smaller than the two already in the game, a different challenge.
Hell yea, I do.
want
I want the Motegi Ovel course too, with the east and west leyouts to come with it as well.
The oval course is different than daytona or indy. Turns 1 and 2 are different than 3 and 4 so it would be a nice challenge
So what about those who can’t participate in GT Academy? Can someone Tweet Kaz and see if we’ll get the cars/tracks too?
The track will most likely be DLC, and the cars will most likely only be available through GT Academy.
Next GTR, great -.-
GT Academy is put on by Nissan. Deal with it.
+1 R1600Turbo. Some people just don’t get it. :rollseyes:
Yes but Nissan make plenty of cars that aren’t GTRs.
who care what you say GTR is a great and awesome car…
Juke R is my guess.
Great sure, but it’s boring to drive on gt5 and according to every review I’ve read in real life as well. People understand that gt academy is by Nissan, but there are other nissans that would be just as nice to see over another premium gtr. Lmp2 or delta wing perhaps?
@eminembeastfan2:
Yes, the GT-R is a great car, but do we really need 50+ different versions? PD’s got SO much to choose from, especially now with the Juke and the DeltaWing.
Would be awesome to give us the track at the end, as a thank you to those who own gt5
I hope this is the first track that’ll come back to the GT Series, maybe in the future we’ll see El Capitan, Special Stage Route 11, Città d’Aria, etc.
Yaaaaa :o) Couldn’t agree More M8 – New York would be lovely too :o)
( I guess that there must be a lot of Converting/porting with the old tracks, and therefore we wont se them in GT5, But I don’t Know)
Città d’Aria with FFB (using my T500RS) and physics of GT5 would be awesome.
dont forget about seattle and some old circuits in GT2
In june maybe
hahaha.
i comment about this in a previous news!
Hell yea, so when do you think we’ll get the track? I’m thinking a DLC just after week 8 is over, maybe?
I’m glad this track is coming back!
Awesome! Can’t wait for Rd. 8!
Yeah!
First hell yeah!
We’re all so proud. It’s too bad that it’s at the very bottom of the comments list and no one will ever see your amazing feat.
