Another update & fix for DEC

thewarmer · 20 October 11, 05:56

"Following the community reaction to some of the intricacies of the downloadable content released earlier in the week (or next week for North America), Kazunori Yamauchi has been busy working on solutions and responding to complaints via Twitter. The latest of these includes a nod to the present, one-off nature of the car pack:

We’re planning an another update for GT5 in December. In that update users who purchased cars and tracks from the DLC already, can receive a free “family upgrade” in the PS Store, which will let all users in the same PS console use the DLC.

People who bought the DLC cars will have those cars added to the dealers in the December update.

After this December update you can purchase a second car and so on from the dealer.

This comes as great news to gamers who’ve bought the car pack but who have been reticent to drive the cars for fear of wearing them out and for those unable to buy the DLC packs for their primary Gran Turismo gaming accounts (or their children’s accounts).

Following on from these Tweets, Yamauchi also provided a tantalising teaser (and a small caution) to those gamers who have already purchased the DLC packs:

Next, don’t get your hopes up too high, but PDI is also readying a X-mas present for those who’ve already bought multiple DLCs.

Quite what form the “present” will take, or what “multiple” means isn’t clear, but we have two months to speculate. Thanks to homeforsummer for the tip-off!"

This is from GTP New section.

Is it me or is it getting rather cynical? I'm wondering if getting the GT series online has been the biggest mistake of PDs history!

Cars lose power over time in GT5 (started in GT4 I think), they then require engine rebuilds, I have no idea if there's a point at which HP loss is unrecoverable with a rebuild.

altho I presume it takes a LOT of mileage to even begin to wear them out!!!

I know that, m8, I have replaced oil and did engine overhauls too.

But...dunno, that "for fear of wearing them out" strikes me as a bite on somebody.

Ah, just wondered if you knew or not.

Not sure what you mean by "bite on somebody".

Some say (this is not a Jeremy Clarkson entry) PD is biting back against some groups that complain about the lack of real developments in regards to structure and physics.

It sure looks like these groups and FM4 are indeed putting some pressure on PD - remember how Kaz feels about updates and patches and the like, and yet he has been forced to do that continually in the last few months.

Could it be the pikes peak track? I know red bull published some info about pikes peak (accidentally or not).
