GT5 Spec 2.0 Coming in October, DLC to Follow

http://www.gtplanet....-dlc-to-follow/

"The GT5 Spec 2.0 update is coming the 3rd week of October, with DLC following a week later."

finally, while bug fixing has been great, and tweaks, and seasonal events. NO DLC is gay so far...plus they gotta do something to stomp on forza's parade.

"Hey it's me i'm Aaron lol"

I agree, i was waiting for DLC and that patch for the mid race saves so i could do the 24 hour races. I don't have the time like i did when it first came out, since i'm in college now.

I've been surprised there hasn't been a mountain of DLC, as the game is perfectly suited to it. I wonder if the earthquake interrupted Polyphony's original plans or something?

Yep, I am pretty sure I remember reading something that the earthquake definitely had something to do with things being delayed, etc.

Pretty pumped about the Spec 2 update. The GT5P spec 2 update was pretty significant and that was for prologue of all things.

Really craving booting up the game just now, but I also feel like holding out.

Spec 2 update:

  • Simplified interior views added to all standard cars.
  • User control of the weather change feature.
  • Settings sheet which allows you to save multiple car settings.
  • New Spec 2.0 opening movie.
  • Improved UI response and usability.
  • Replay forward/rewind.
  • Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
  • Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races…).
  • Expanded Photo Travel features (you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar).
  • Added “NASCAR Pit Scene” stage to Photo Travel.
  • Added 11 new 2011 NASCAR models.
  • Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Shulze Motorsport.
  • Improved physics and artificial intelligence.
  • Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheel.

the Red Bull X1 can be obtained now, with a special time track Seasonal Event. Winning Gold will earn you 5 Million.

Do you have to get Gold to get the car?

If not, what a waste of hours upon hours spent learning the track and shaving off seconds restarting over and over for them to just give it away, lol.

The car is given to everyone who logs in for free cause Vettel won.

Managed to get gold in the event eventually, holy crap this car is fast. 1.23 was my time.

Is it even possible to even get a bronze using a gamepad? I mean this car is way too fast and way to sensitive ;) I barely manage to take any corner without going into the walls ;)

I know what you are saying, you basically have to go around on half throttle most of the lap. I gave up in the end lol

I kept invalidating my lap on the way around accidentally, lol, but the first time I made it around I did it in 1:14:843.

Though I wish they had told me there was a 20 Million limit on money, I only got 2 of the 5 million. :angry: But I did quit out quickly and it looks like it didn't save it, oh the fun of the game, lol.

Tell me about it. I had to bump up a few assists. Had them all off and I kept getting agonizingly close but making a mistake somewhere :p Took me about 30-40 mins I think to get gold with a controller.

The speed of the car is ridiculous, but awesome at the same time! The 5m credits will do me well for digging into endurance races once spec 2.0 hits.

It was lucky I quit out, it didn't save my progress on the track, so I bought a few cars to take me down to 13 million and then did the course again for the 5 million.

Though i did it 1:16:something this time, like 2 seconds slower, I was hoping to get better, lol.

Finally a new kick ass intro - http://www.gtplanet....ad.php?t=226540

I saw that Ferrari F10 Nurburgring video AB posted a few days ago on his Twitter; bloody awe-inspiring. :woot:

Can't wait for the DLC too. :) I did panic a bit at the price first, but then I saw the option to buy all the DLC in one hit at a discount, so fear averted. :p $11.99 in America, so hopefully it should only be £7.99 here; I'd call that fair. :)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
