GT5 V 2.0 update available - 1.1Gb download

Post by fizz »

Just installed this last night as it happens and its nice to finally have some in car views for all cars!

http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5- ... available/

=================================

Major Changes and New Features

- Standard Cars now given simplified cockpit views
The over 800 standard cars included in the game are now given simplified cockpit views. You can change your view using the SELECT button when racing, to change your display to the exciting cockpit view.
*Unlike the cockpit view of premium cars, the simplified cockpit is shown in a dark silhouette, and the gauges used for the car will be standard in-game instruments.

- New Opening Movie
A new opening movie is now available from “Gran Turismo TV”. When you download this movie, it will replace the current opening movie. The previous version will be viewable within Gran Turismo TV.

- Addition of the weather change menu
On some tracks with weather changes, it is now possible for the user to set time and weather changes from the Quick Menu in both the Arcade Mode, and “Practice” of the GT Mode. Also, you can make more detailed time and weather changes while editing in the course maker and in the online lounge.

- Multiple car settings/save feature
We’ve added a setting sheet feature that allows you to save multiple car settings.
From the [Setting Sheet] on the lower right of the screen, you can check the current settings. You can switch between 3 settings A, B, and C, allowing you to change between your personal settings easily according to the type of race and your objectives.

- Added 11 NASCAR cars
The newest NASCAR 2011 models have been added to the car dealerships. The added cars are the following:

* Toyota 2011 Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx TOYOTA CAMRY ’11

- Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports
The Nisssan GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports has been added to the car dealer. This is the car entered in the 2011 Nurburgring 24 hour race by Schulze Motorsports of Germany, and is the very car in which Kazunori Yamauchi drove and achieved a class victory.

- Avatar now usable in Photo Travel
An Avatar ON/OFF feature has been added to Photo Travel. Now you can photograph your avatar together with your car.
You can turn the driver avatar ON/OFF by pressing the △ button while positioning the car.

- Replay Fast Forward/Rewind
All replay videos recorded after the 2.0 update will have [Forward] [Rewind] buttons.
You can now easily search for the scene you are looking for and play back a certain section whenever you want to, adding even more fun to the photo mode.

-Improved Online Lounge
[Car Restrictions] has been added in the regulations. You can now limit participants to specific categories such as “NASCAR” and “Super GT”. Also, there are now more cars that can be used in shuffle races, and a new “Shuffle Base” setting allows you to set the performance level of cars allocated to each player.
For details, please see Top screen -- [Manual] -- [Online Race] -- [Event Settings] and the “Regulation Settings”.

- Additional features to Remote Racing
A “Graph Display” has been added to the remote race screen in GT My Home of granturismo.com, where you can enjoy B-Spec racing. This allows you to visually see the changes in positions in each lap. A time difference display for each car in the race has also been added.

- New Photo Stage Added
The “Indy: NASCAR Pit Stop” stage has been added to photo travel. We invite you to come see and capture the energy of NASCAR’s famous pit stops.

- Addition of the Consecutive Login Bonus
When a user logs in consecutively, a bonus will now be applied to experience and race rewards.
It will increase to 110% in the 1st day, 130% in the 2nd day, 150% in the 3rd day, 170% in the 4th, to a maximum of 200% in the 5th day. This will apply to all events both online and offline, so logging in every day will make the game progress faster.

- DLC (Downloadable Content) Compatibility
A [Downloadable Content] button has been added to the lower right of the top screen. Here you can install content purchased from the PlayStation®Store, which will be made available on October 18th.

The Logitech G25 Racing Wheel and G27 Racing Wheel are now officially supported. You can now change button assignments for various racing controls on these wheels.

- Replay Fast Forward/Rewind

I liked to make nice pictures, but with 5 laps or the Ring the waiting time would annoy me to death!
Not to mention if I was 1 sec late to pause, I had to start all over again ](*,)

Eh, what's 12 dollar. Peanuts.
Perhaps you get the cool gold or silver paint.

It's even 5 dollar profit if you get the total pack. Which equals the track pack!
So you are able to get the 2 tracks for free !!!

Endurance Save :thumleft:

Well done to those who did it without and/or had a PS3 stable enough to withstand being left on for weeks on end on pause.

just downloading this now. as for the endurance races, 3-4 hour stints are easy, play for that long when i play anyway, but trying to do some of the longer ones let alone 24hours took the pi$$ a bit even leaving the ps3 on to let the b-spec racers go for it was a bit ott.

Yes you are a miserable git but that doesn't change the fact that most people feel the same way with you on this one. :whistle: :lol:

Mr S you've hurt my feelings :mrgreen:

They should have just thrown us another 10 or so tracks and put a new option on the home page "DLC-Spec" with a bunch of new challenges.

Fools!!!

Mines been downloading most of the evening, Just gone back to check up on it and it's on 28% :clap: This is the future.

Mine downloaded and installed within 30 min.

Johnny - I thought it was just in my head that it loaded up quicker! 8-[ :thumleft:

Currently im doing the Suzuka endurance race (174 laps!) and the suspend feature is a god send thats for sure. Love how it loads straight into the race when you boot the game up.
