Next Gran Turismo 5 Update Coming “Near Christmas”

Jordan Greer · · 280 Comments

While thanking fans for their Twitter messages celebrating GT5’s one-year-anniversary, Kazunori Yamauchi shared some information about the game’s next update:

Thanks to everyone for the messages. One year goes by quick. The next update is in the latter part of Dec., near Christmas.

A late December launch falls neatly in line with the rough “every two months” DLC release schedule outlined at SEMA, so the date will definitely be raising eyebrows (and expectations) – especially considering Kazunori has a history of playing Santa Claus… Hopefully you’ve been good this year.

Thanks to Joe_Ald for the early tip!

    All that i would like is better nitrous.
    maybe a button that will actually make a difference in the car’s overall performance like in GT4

  4. GT5 X1

    I’ll hope we get some new updates in the Transmission tuning section! Either install RWD, FWD, 4WD and if you have installed 4WD you can install power distributor!

  6. TeamBlitzAudi

    Have u guys heard that supposedly in this new update they are going 2 be putting an official drag strip in it if this really is true im hopping for the drag strip in Frezno here in the U.S.

  13. CorvetteConquer

    PD, update your priorities while you’re at it! New cars, NOT RM’s. A few classic tracks would not hurt.

  15. TurboProp

    Please do not get your hopes up, in fact, forget I said anything. Pretend you are surprised if you get anything at all…

    VR,

    Someone was saying online today that on Polyphony’s site there was licensing on it about them having access to using the Aston Martin one – 77. Now this is just what a guy said online. Haven’t been able to find anything myself.. but he said there were 3 Astons polyphony have that aren’t in game.

    1. TokoTurismo

      Really? That sounds, really intresting. :) I must not get to hype about it. I’ll be waiting a little bit longer.

    2. A_Higher_Place

      This rumour is also hard to believe because the guy telling me was an online friend, but thing is, it was also his online friend who told him.

      The guy telling me i can believe any day… but not so sure on the other guy >.> haha

  21. Carlos Fandango

    Just to temper some peoples enthusiasm for this, “latter part of December, near Christmas” doesn’t necessarily mean BEFORE Christmas. December 31 for example would be both in the latter part of December and also near Christmas!

    Just saying…

  22. bobmarde

    Am I one of the few who noticed he said “Update coming”, rather than “DLC coming” ? Meaning that this will probably be free?

  23. Skython11

    BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5! PLEASE!!! And Infineon along with Bathurst. And the 2005 Skoda Fabia WRC (factory livery and the Red Bull Livery).

    1. fitftw

      hahah me too! I’ve been playing GTA4 lately. The new DLC only kept me occupied for about a month and I got bored again messing with cars I never drove before, modding weird cars nobody cares about etc…I’ll get back to it when some new events and DLC come out

  29. txmoveguru

    Dear Kazunoris Claus,
    I’ve been good boy this year, I’ve bought all the downloads (couple times), tried not to wall my fellow racers (although many deserve it), helped the newbies by giving out some extra rides in the garage, helping victims with car setups to make them competitve and kept my cache clear.

    Therfore my Christmas wishes are:

    1. Fix problem with Daytona start on rolling start (smoke induced nights has cost me several races)!!

    2. Add Talledaga, test track and drag strip (old vegas one was cool) – think daytona gets alot of traffic just wait.

    3. NO more GTR-s – Think I have about 50 of em in my garage and can figure out which one is tuned which one isn’t…ughh

    4. Add more SEMA rides – looking forward to the 71 camaro – or Transcam out a Nova, Vega, Gremlin – food for thought.

    5. Add more classic muscle cars – GTO “JUDGE”, OLDER CUDA’S, DODGE DUSTER, FORD GRAN TORINO, PLYMOUTH FURY, AMC AMX, OLDS 442, 1974 TRANS AM, AND I’D LUV TO HAVE A 55 CHEVY BELAIRE OR 57 CHEVY IN MY GARAGE.

    Hopefully I will see something out of this list!!:) Happy Holidays All – Hope to beat ya soon!!:)

  30. mikeonthebike

    @Dangerzonekilla there is already turbo whistle with blow off valve and there is also supercharger gear whine. go to sound settings in options and set to small or large theater. if you drive in 3rd person behind the car where you only hear the exhaust anyways you will have to mess around with a surround system quite a bit to get the turbo and supercharger sounds to come thru….or drive in car or bumper view.

  33. Dangerzonekilla

    One of the minor things grand turismo got to focus is coming up with turbo sounds we need turbos to whistle im a big fan of turbo sounds so we have to focus on that same thing for supercharhers…

  34. 7945GT57945

    i want more options to customize your car like in MCLA i want new rims on muscle cars blowers hoods!!! new body kits NEON WINDOW TINT you can lower the car by INCHSES NOT MM make engine swaps PUT HYDROS ON YOUR CAR!! and put lambo style doors costom plates 2012 Dodge Charger{ my fav } put some BOATS in PUT SOME VANS IN!!!!!! but no bikes put the P Veryon Super Sport { in TDU2 i hit 288MPH in it} put some >>Police Cars<< in so please PD at least put the charger & popo cars in!!!!

    1. TokoTurismo

      But it sounds like the DLC will be with it. But then again December is the “2 month” so that means DLC!!! YEAAA!!! XD But I hope it’s good though… I don’t want RMs. :(

  37. Knievel47

    Something else it just crossed my mind why not some new city circuits? We have had 2 in Rome 2 in Paris, Mardid, London, Tokyo, Seattle, New York, Seoul, Hong Kong, Monaco, Costa di amalfi, Citta di Aria across the Gran Turismo games and all of them have been a blast!

    I for instance would like to see both street circuits used for Motor racing such as Macau and Singappore and Adelaide but also let PD use its imagination to create tracks from cities around the world that aren’t used as it did in Rome, London, Mardid. It adds to the glamour of the game driving and exotic as fast as you can and going sightseeing simultaneously

  42. zeeeohsix

    I want more
    I want more
    I want more
    I want more
    I want more
    I want more
    I want more
    I want more

    more more more! Give me more more more! After you have gave me what I have wanted, I expect more. Thanks PD

  45. SaintSaiya

    also some micro cars like the p 50 and the bmw isseta and some kind of tag gameplay in multiplayer just to have some fun on the side. And some guns too.

  47. BayneHamlin1121

    The tracks will most likely be Hockinghiem or El Capitan, or even Pikes Peak. They have been rumored to be in gt5, like Spa was. Hopefully, they will have the same fate.

  53. colt357x

    more saloons >< f10 bmw m5, audi s7, aston rapide, corvette cts-v, dodge charger 2012, maserati quttaropotte, merc cls, e 63 amgs. and more PORCHES plz kaz, thats all i want for xmas =D

  55. SaintSaiya

    i want some story mode as dlc about a driver that rises to the top of professorial Motorsport and simulates his life until he dies and his children continue his legacy and so on.

  56. Drag Labs 101

    This just in.. DLC delay in America, again!

    Awwwwe, *sad-face* :(

    Of coarse this isn’t really official.. But don’t be surprised when ur early Christmas gift becomes an after New Year ordeal!

  57. jammed79

    BE NICE IF NEW DLC HAD THE NEW 2011 DAGGER GT…..THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD!!!!!I WOULD LOVE TO SMOKE ME SOME GAYRONS WITH IT….THE DAGGER GT IS A V8 WITH 2500 HP AND CAN RUN 315 MPH…AND ONLY COST 875,000 ….FASTER AND CHEAPER…WELL SO MUCH FOR THE SS GAYRON BEING THE FASTEST NOW…LOL IF YOU DONT BELEAVE ME LOOK IT UP.ITS ONLINE!!!!

  59. Knievel47

    Oh and one suggestion if possible, if it is difficult to create new cars don’t make new shapes such as an Aventador or a Ferrari FF but you could implement new and better versions of existing cars.

    Lexus LFA -> LFA nurburgring edition
    Camaro SS -> Camaro ZL1
    Sl 65 AMG -> SL65 AMG BLACK
    SL 55 AMG -> SL 63AMG
    599 GTB -> 599 GTO
    ’07 MUSTANG -> ’11 MUSTANG BOSS & GT500
    GT-R ’07 -> GT-R ’12
    GALLARDO LP560 -> LP570 SUPERLEGGERA
    JAGUAR XKR -> XKR-S
    ASTON MARTIN DB9 -> DBS & VIRAGE
    BMW 135 -> 1M
    LOTUS EVORA -> EVORA S
    BMW M3 -> M3 GTS
    AUDI R8 5.2 -> R8 GT
    AUDI TTS -TTRS
    MASERATI GRANTURISMO S -> GRANTURISMO MC STRADALE
    DODGE CHARGER SRT -> SRT 392
    BUGATTI VEYRON -> VEYRON SS

    So 20 brand new sought after cars for us to drive based of existing shapes already in the game!
    What do you think?

    2. wrc900

      This is a fantastic idea! I would prefer all the old school tracks, but in terms of cars this would be great because lets face it we wont get any brand new cars.

  61. Rusty bullet

    Classic F1 pack or just the Lotus 49 would be great. we will probably get another load of cars that was designed to be in RM (race modified) option.

  62. Knievel47

    Here’s my problem: I only drive premium and real (not TC or RM) cars and only at real world tracks and City tracks.
    What I wanna say is this from the previous DLC the only thing handy for me was SPA and even if it was just that I am grateful to PD and still paid for the whole pack because if they asked me which track from all over the world you’d like to be added would be this.
    I am only hoping more “real” stuff cars and tracks coming to the game and coming to requests since Christmas is around the corner I ‘d like 2 tracks A) Barthurst MT Panorama and B) the Guia street circuit in the streets of Macau.

  63. polizei

    So the game is finally nearing 80% completion? I wish real life was the same as a 1st party Sony software developer. Do nothing for years, deliver unfinished/undeveloped/non-QA’d product, take sweet time fixing the product, make people pay for ongoing patches with DLC….

    1. NJ72

      how many more people are gonna troll on about it being half a game? how many other games do you know of that have over 200 cars in (ignoring the standards as im sure you dont count the fact that they had to program the physics of each of the standard cars using the NEW PHYSICS ENGINE of GT5…)? EA cant even make more than 10 without charging you DLC prices for the 11th… quit your whining already…

    2. TokoTurismo

      The people outside this site is the worst. I dislike them so much. They’re complaints about GT5 this, GT5 that, did that did this is rather annoying…

  65. mikeonthebike

    it is saying update and not dlc BECAUSE I am guessing there is some fixes that are going to come AND this will be the download for whatever the next track and car DLC’s because WE ALL will need to have the data on our machines to be able to go to the tracks online and/or be able to see the dlc cars/trucks/semis/bikes etc etc etc etc while racing against them online.

    and being close to Christmas and the fact that some people were expecting a 1 year gift for gt5 and nothing happened maybe it will be an update and some sort of free DLC this time around. Who knows? Time will tell. I noticed a rally car sitting on snow to be the picture for this news…….and the OCD is FULL of rally cars past and present for no apparent seasonal event reason…..I smell some dust and dirt coming!!!

    AND I second that comment about being able to powershift with the logitech g27….. mainly for drifting. they already disable our clutch on seasonal event time trials to keep it fair so they have some sort of clutch controls….why not give us that power shift with clutch feature we all want for drifting.

  66. CorvetteConquer

    The next DLC will say a lot about PD and the direction of this game. DLC is crucial to keeping fans’ attention. I hope they don’t make the mistake of adding another 15 race mods. That would be a mistake.

    Let’s hear it for NEW cars, that have their own story to tell, and not race mods of already existing car models. That gets really boring extremely fast.

    1. another_jakhole

      Completely agree. I’ll have to ignore the DLC if it’s only RM cars. It’ll be very foolish of Kaz to do that, so I’m not worried. It won’t be AMAZING!!!!!, but I’m “sure” it won’t be RM cars.

  69. LeMansIndy500

    Also, now Spa is in the game I would love to see the Spa 24 Hours Endurance Race added. Also, how about more cars in the 24 Hour races. 55 cars with 4 classes in the Le Mans 24 Hours would be awesome. Would also love to see the 200+ cars for Nurburgring 24 Hours with the staggered class starts but don’t think the PS3 could cope with that and the dynamic weather and the day/night/day cycle all going on in 1 go!

    1. NJ72

      i agree, that would be amazing, but how about separate classes? the ps3 can cope with 16 cars on track, so why not 4 classes of 4 cars? or 2 classes of 8? i’d love to take a GT class out and see how i’d fair against some of the LMP cars… and it’d make it more interesting because there’s usually nobody to play with in the 24 hour races on longer tracks :D

  70. LeMansIndy500

    I crave to see Red Rock Valley and El Capitain and both Cathedral Rocks rally courses. Would also like to see more day/night circuits. As for cars, the Audi R18 from Le Mans will be a nice addition.

  71. Foxiol

    Toyota FT-86 II coming…and i´ll not going to guess what is going to come in the next DLC because i´ll buy it no matter what comes in it.

  72. joetruckv8

    You gtplanet guys comments are right on point. More tracks kaz/, and more than 2 of them that we can actually use this time. I’m not going to make a list, but world circuits 1st and if you cant get the licenses than I hope you guys at PD have been digitizing our old greats form the past. My favorite is El captain & Seattle, etc…..

    1. occasionalracer

      DLC’s differ from updates… I wouldn’t count on a Spec 3.0 for at least another half year.
      However, I think this time they will charge less for this one because it’s Christmas, but DLC’s are rarely free.

    2. occasionalracer

      Oh, excuse my non sense, I totally thought it said “Next DLC update coming near Christmas”. If it’s actually an update then I hope it’s for online functionality.

  75. G35US

    Can we bring back the classic video editor in GT4. You can control the views, the angles, slow motion, fast motion, brightness. Sometimes I wanna see myself bust a corner in super slow motion from a certain angle.

  77. Fragolas79

    I need more custom parts, more rims, rims in standard cars, and some standard upgrades to premium (AE86, Altezza, MR-S, Supra, etc…) I´ve been good this year Santa PD!!!

  78. NYZ SPED

    Definitely Complex String, Apricot hill, Midfield Raceway, Red Rock Valley, Grand Canyon, Tahiti Rally Tracks, Time Square NY Las Vegas Drag Strip, Driving Park Gymkhana and Test Course, Città d’Aria , Seattle Circuit Full & East Course. On the Cars 94 Supra twin turbo and 1998 supra Rz Premium and other Premium Cars Besides Nissan. They Missing the Mugen Integra Type R, Honda Civic Si 2009, 2011 Honda Inspire, Honda Prelude 91 Sir, Honda Accord 96 V6, Honda Civic si 2000, Honda Civic Ferio , 1999 Lamborghini Diablo SV-R , Ruf 2008 CTR3, Ruf R Turbo, 1984 Saleen Mustang, Saleen Mustang S281, Saleen Mustang , Saleen/Parnelli Jones S302, Pontiac Firebird, 1977 Camaro Z28, 2001 Bmw M5. theses are just examples.

  80. Hofstee

    What would I like…
    Pikes Peak
    Something so I can test the acceleration of my cars. Like a timed 250, 500, and 1000m drag strip as opposed to top speed like it was in GT3.
    Complex String. Please.

  81. Gastor Marza

    I wouldn’t mind new tracks but I have to say I don’t really need it that much. What we have is a great selection and I love almost all of them but I spent 99% of my GT5 time on the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
    What I need is the following cars:
    more exotics, like: Aventador, Reventon, a couple of Koeniggsegs, K1 Attack, Carrera GT, Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato, Aston Martin V12 Zagato
    also a much bigger selection from Mercedes and BMW old and new
    a few more new Audis: S4, S5, RS5, S6, RS6, S7, S8 – sallons only, avants are ugly
    new Volkswagen Passat and Scirocco
    Do it!

    2. another_jakhole

      Uploadable replays to Youtube wasn’t even close to happening this gen once Kaz found out how long it took to upload a replay to Youtube.

    3. NJ72

      i’d just be happy if we could export the replays to the XMB in mp4 format or some such… i’ll leave my PC uploading if im that desperate

  83. Volvo_For_Life

    What I really want is a diesel pack with at least this cars in it… ;
    2011 VW Golf VI GTD
    2011 BMW 530D
    2011 Volvo V60 D5
    Or just some more 2011 European every-day cars…
    And for a course, I would go for a Autobahn-ish track. Changeable weather and time, that stuff.

  85. FishyJuice

    I would love to get more DLC cars and tracks or some other new things, but the thing I want most is that they fix the lighting in Photo Mode to how it it was at 2.0, it’s a small thing most won’t care about, but I find such a waste to add such things as bloom lighting and the just remove it a week later.

    2. lebes14

      Agreed! I desperately want the 2012 dtm lineup and the BMW m3 gt2! Corvette c6r and some Aston GTs would be great as well.

  87. Mr Nerv

    Ok, just to make a point, I read the word “Update” and not “DLC”. We know that as previously stated – there will be something for Chrimbo, and maybe something extra for those who bought the DLC as single items, or like me, the whole pack.

    But, unless it’s written that we’re getting DLC, as far as I’m concerned, it’ll be update 2.01 with bug fixes and whatnot, and not anything out of the ordinary. So, even though I hope that’s not the case and I’m wrong, everyone should note that it may be that, just an update…

  89. tehPete

    I’d just like them to make the DLC free for anyone who bought the Signature edition; it’ll just be variations on existing cars, or tracks that we’ve already seen in trailers, so this shouldn’t be that much of a request.

    1. NJ72

      i disagree, you bought the signature edition before DLC was announce, just because you feel like you’ve wasted your money does not mean you should get everything for free. besides, if you have enough money to fritter away on a signature edition then you have the money to buy the DLC. not stop pretending to be royalty and fork out for some awesome DLC.

    2. tehPete

      Acting like royalty? Sounds like you’ve got some issues there mate. I saved for months for the Signature edition based on my love of the franchise to date and while I don’t feel it was the best purchase I’ve ever made, I certainly don’t regret it. DLC was announced long before the game was released (see the Winds post, which undeniably hinted at future DLC being free for those buying the more expensive versions; also see the fact that tracks have been hinted at in blog posts and shown in pre-release trailers that are *still* missing from the game), and regardless would be expected for this type of game to remain relevant over the long development cycle between releases.

      On another note, where’s this ‘awesome’ DLC you’re referring to? A couple of tracks, some variations on existing models of cars, some paint chips – I see basic, slightly overpriced DLC there; nothing to write home about and certainly nothing that could be classed as ‘awesome’ under any definition of the word.

  90. Lambob

    ♪ ♫ On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.

    Happy Holidays, PD & GT fans!

  98. Hakosukaa

    I know there are a few skylines in the game and it’s probably the last thing we need but it would be really cool if they would make the KPGC10 and KPGC110 premium aswell as GTST R32 premium and R33 GTS25T premium, then I’d be content ;) and well, y’know why i’m here i might aswell ask for RWD R34 premium model and some Rauh-welt cars lol

  100. Bfc_1882

    Im looking forward to getting the new dlc but if it is things like cars and siuts and more museum cards then kaz and the bous need to remove the 7000 gift limit because i dont like having to delete things to make space for other things. And I don’t know what the dlc will be but I know that I will still buy it what ever it is. This game is a year old now and has been pound for pound the best out there. And for all those people who keep asking for drag strips I’m guessing your all minors. Because everyone I talk with online who is old enough to go out and work play this game for the fantastic driving experience. Now I’m not having a go at these people but it’s not part of the game and I just think its a bit like those idiots that purposely drive the wrong way round the track to ruin other people’s fun. This is just my opinion but I’m sure there’s lots of you out there that will disagree with me.

    1. another_jakhole

      I disagree with that last bit about the drag strip. I don’t want it, but it certainly should have it’s place in GT5. It’s not even high on my “Wanted List”, yet there are a lot of people who would appreciate it.

  101. jammed79

    WELL ONLY THING YOU NEED IS TO GET A… PACK…. OF HD CABLES AND A HD TV SET AT 1080!!!!! MY SHADOWS LOOK JUST FINE SO DOES MY DAMAGE……

    1. Bfc_1882

      Yes this game was made for hdmi and I wouldn’t play it any other way. (it looks great on my 46″ tv) and like he says I too have no problem with shadows

    2. a100miles2go

      YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING ABOUT THE DAMAGE LOOKING FINE…. COLIN MCRAE RALLY ON THE PSP HAS BETTER DAMAGE THAN GT5…. IF GT6 DOES NOT HAVE DAMAGE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS OTHER RACING GAMES I WILL WAIT UNTIL IT’S IN THE BARGAIN BIN BEFORE I BUY IT….

  103. Mellow70

    GT5 needs these…

    – More A Spec races
    – All Tracks from earlier GT games
    – We already know the Standards to Premiums
    – More 2010 – 2012 cars
    – Missing Car Dealers like Bentley, Cadillac, etc from GT4
    – The Replay feature with the video effects from GT3 and GT4
    – More body kits, rims
    – A drag strip
    – A Leaderboard for online races
    – better engine sounds
    – better damage
    – and more tracks that allow you to change weather and set time for Daylight/Night times on tracks

    All this may not happen but hopefully it makes it into the “many patches” of DLC if it does and it will definately be worth paying for.

    4. lebes14

      Agreed, ctsv would be a great car to compete with my favorite cars. I think rival cars would be nice (m3, rs4, e63 and ctsv for example.) it would add to the racing experience more so then a bunch of unmatched cars.

  104. jammed79

    OK PEEPS.. I HAVE SOME COOL CAR TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY,TO NAME A FEW ARE TICKETS FOR THE GT5 F1,BOTH 2007 AND 2010 INDY CARS.NASCAR TICKETS,MUSCLE CAR TICKETS.RALLY TICKETS AND ALSO THE 1967 TICKET THAT GIVES YOU THE 67 LAMBO,67 FORD GT,AND MANY MORE RARE CARS,TICKET 21 AND SO ON…SO IF U WANT IM SURE I HAVE….ALL FOR FREE. JUST TRYING TO HELP SOME PEOPLE OUT I DONT NEED NOTHING ONLY NEW DLC WHEN IT COMES OUT SENCE I HAVE ALL CARS IN GAME SO FEEL FREE TO ADD ME

    1. 70hemi

      R u serious or r u messing with us? If true, please send me a ’67 Mark IV GT, ’67 Miura, and ’70 Chaparral 2J…

    9. XXI

      No, you can’t “Do what you want” when it violates the AUP. Typing in all capitals is very annoying and hard to read. This is not the place, please post in the trade forum.

    1. A_Higher_Place

      I can a strange easy feeling we won’t be seeing any more Aussie cars. I feel bad for you guys down there. You have like 3 cars in this game total? I call shinanigans..

    2. lebes14

      I agree with place, I didn’t know the game had any Aussie cars in it tbh, they just forgot about you haha. But seriously, how amazing would a full Australian v8 line up be!

  107. AcenSpades

    MORE A-SPEC PLEASE, all tracks from previous versions, more american cars please…… would like to have all dodge SRT models, charger, magnum, ram, etc.

    3. lebes14

      Personally, I would like more modern bmws. They are redoing their entire Iine up this year and it would be amazing to see the new:
      i8
      M5
      M6(when it’s released)
      M3(when it’s released)
      M3 gt2(my favorite car ever)
      Z4 gt3
      M3 dtm
      320i touring car (modern not old one that’s in the game)
      Although American cars, as much as I dislike them, are the fewest in the game, so it probably wouldn’t hurt to add those first.

  108. SaintSaiya

    All I want for xmas is a less stiff chase cam and do 360 around the car to appreciate the details of cars, and the car damage from the gt5 best buy demo

  109. rjcraft16

    i want more options for my cars like a better upgrades system and more upgrade options, more cosmetic options, 2012 nissan GT-R and ferrari FXX and other new nissans and ferraries and better car sounds

  110. jasr73

    Sweet! Another update, cant wait!
    :D

    Kaz, for your future consideration…

    Spa Francorchamps (Reverse)
    El Capitan
    Midfield Raceway
    Test Course
    Las Vegas Drag Strip
    Apricot Hill
    Pikes Peak Hill Climb
    Red Rock Valley Speedway
    Grand Valley Speedway (Add Weather + Day / Night option)

  113. G35US

    Remember GT4 had the speed track? If you watch the opening credit, they show a flash of the speed track… where it says “400 meters, 500 meters…. 1000 meters…” thats in the video, and that will be the next track they give us before 3.0.

  115. bmxmad

    Some more drift tracks and D1 cars would be nice. The game needs a proper drift mode tandem drifting head to head online with knock out events online. Give us more wheels and body kits and the ability for engine swaps.

    I might be asking a lot but a new track and cars will only give me a few days of fun before its just the same old GT5. Give us a new type of race modes like drag racing and redo drift mode.

  116. Ix-M0NTANA-xI

    Oh Kaz. Kaz, Kaz, Kaz, why do you do this to them?!
    Expectations are high, the masses will riot if you let them down at Christmas!!!

    2. A_Higher_Place

      people get so excited (like myself) and disappointed because they know how truly great GT5 can be with a ton more added to it. PD gave us a skeleton at release imo. Wheres the meat and potataaas?

    Or make the escudo pikes peak rally car a premium car that you can buy in the new car dealership. That car is a BEAST!!! it has over 900 horsepower and the mother of all rear spoilers!!! :)

  121. 88FoxBodyFan

    Make it so trying to play while on line doesn’t suck. I’m not talking about the racing part. I’m talking about having to wait 5 minutes in between menus.

      @ 88FoxBodyFAN. you need to delete all of your sent and recieved messaged then go to options and clear your cache.

    Again more Nissan GTR, sigh. I hope in gt6 they will not make this same mistake of making allot of the same cars. For this DLC i hope to see more American Muscle cars, exotic cars and European sports cars, and premium models for veyron and countach. PLEASE PLEASE NO MORE NISSAN GTR PLEASE, DO THEY PAY PD?

    1. another_jakhole

      They didn’t make them for GT5. They were made for GT1-GT4. I wish people would stop saying that there are too many GT-R’s. There are only a few Skylines/GT-R’s that are premium.

  124. nate

    it would be cool if they could bring back some of the crazy tracks from Gran Turismo 1 and 2. but if they cant recreate them to match up with the track detail of gt5, it would be fun if they could bring the tracks into the game with the same super rough graphics, but you could race your premium 2011 gt-r and redbull x2011 cars on the tracks with the same graphics, just the track would look the same as in the playstation 1 gran turismo games!

  125. Quakebass

    Maybe snow as a new weather condition…?

    Just based on these comments, I wonder why Drag Racing is #9 most wanted on the feedback section… It seems like more than 70% of the people here are asking for new Drag cars and Tracks.

    1. m8h3r

      Yes this^^^ I live about 4 miles from Santa Pod and everytime there’s a meet on I hear it, some of them cars on GT5 would be epic.

  128. 70hemi

    Please bring back some Classic tracks along with some cars from GT1 & 2! Midfield, Pikes Peak, Infineon, etc. GT90, Espace F1 (my favorite from GT2) Phaeton, and HKS Drag Cars.

    1. TokoTurismo

      My wish for christmas is to see a photo of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in Mid Field Raceway about to take the first corner.

    1. another_jakhole

      We want more fresh cars. There aren’t THAT many 2010 cars in GT5. It’s reasonable, but I’m with getting more tracks. I’ve stopped playing as much because of it.

    2. researchALLwars

      GT Pro, I agree. This game needs more Immersion, more Customization, more Grime, more Parody, more Races, more LIFE.

      Down with sterility!

  139. Projectoutlaw

    Hopefully we will get some 2011, 2012 cars. The newer cars on gt5 are starting to feel a little dated. Actually they were dated when the game came out lol. Maybe the new lambo aventador would be awsome.

    2. Ferrari Alonso

      I just want that damn Lamborghini Sesto Elemento *drools*

      Ps: and lots of Ferraris :) among others of course

  140. RoarOfZonda

    MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S, MORE FERRARI’S!!!!
    please? *puppy face*

    1. HKS racer

      I would gladly accept better sound for the actual Ferrari’s instead. And your Zonda R doesn’t really “Roar” as it should, so I hope some improvements for that one too. Without forgettin Lamborghini’s obviously.

    2. RoarOfZonda

      As much as I’d love to agree, I think sounds will have to change in GT6.. I honestly don’t think they’ll make any sound improvements in GT5.. but if they do then I’ll be a surprised mofo lol

    5. racer445

      NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR, NISSAN GTR AND NISSAN GTR RACE MOD. LOOL

    4. shadowtsunami

      From:
      GT1: Special Stage R11
      GT2: Red Rock Valley, Grindelwald, Seattle Circuit, Midfield Raceway, Apricot Hill (and all those fun rally courses)
      GT3: Special Stage R11 GT3 version
      GT4: Infineon Raceway, Twin Ring Montegi, El Captian, Citta di Aria, Costa Di Amalfi, George V Paris, Hong Kong, Opera Paris, Seoul Central, and the Las Vegas Drag Strip (Plus all it’s rally course)

      I would gladly buy this as DLC. When you look at how many great tracks where left out of GT5 you wonder how come? Funny thing is I left out about 5 or 6 tracks too!

    7. jomama2010

      @shadowtsunami

      Oh man if SSR11, Red Rock Valley, Seattle, Midfield, Apricot, Smokey Mountain, Infineon, Twin Ring Motegi/Speedway, El Capitan, Hong Kong, New York, and Seoul Central get in I’ll have achieved a nerdgasm rofl.

    2. DaihatsuDriver

      Don’t laugh, a reindeer sled might actually be faster than the X2011 XD After all its got to get out all those presents in a heck of a hurry. Any-who it will give me something to race on Alaska and Chamonix

    4. 70hemi

      true, he does have a point…. but how would the power be measured…. Reindeer-Power instead of HP….. and how would it be upgraded? lol

The Real Story Behind the Mysterious Cat in Gran Turismo 5

When Gran Turismo 5 was released, something unusual in the game’s Kyoto Photo Travel Location caught the attention of our community: a curiously detailed little cat. He blinked, turned his head, looked around, and generally drove people crazy.
