Yeah, was good fun on Spa. :) Weirdly, I lost connection to the room halfway through a race, so I ended up just going on Demon's Souls; big mistake. :p

I will make sure to buy the DLC come my next payday, which is in about ten days. :)

Ooh, speaking of the DLC, Yankies (and Canucks), your "special bonus" has been announced! Buy the complete pack, and you'll also be getting a unique GT Academy dynamic theme, as well as the Honda NSX GT500 Stealth model, which was previously only available in the Signature Edition.

And for an added special bonus, everyone in North America can now get another Stealth car for free: the Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth! Redeem this code in the PlayStation Store: RD69-FJN9-5N6Q

The code will be valid until January 30th 2012. And I'll try it myself in a minute just to make sure it's definitely North America-only. :p

EDIT: Confirmed; North America only. :(

thanks buddy (Y)

Yeah, was good fun last night at Spa (Y)

By the end of the evening there was 13 or more of us karting, which was a real blast. Might do some more tonight.

I'm kind of disappointed too that these Stealth models are being made available, but hard to see what else of any value Sony/PD could offer. Perhaps it's an indication the rest of the Stealth and Chromelines are soon to made available to purchase as DLC?

Anything tbh, give them a new unique skinned car or something. Don't screw over your current customers and take away something that they have paid for. While I realise that we haven't actually lost anything from what we had, they have gone back on what they said about them not being available outside of the pre-orders and actual signature pack.

Kazunori Yamauchi addresses GT5 DLC Complaints, update coming in Decemer

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.

Good news there. Listening to the fans and actually doing what they want is why GT5 is once again the king of racing sims. :)

Christmas cannot come soon enough now! Girlfriend has told me that she will be getting me the GT Force wheel and the Wheelstand Pro. Would have liked a chair but nowhere for it in the lounge of my flat unfortunately.

Awesome I'm thinking of nagging the girl for something similar :p

I ended up buying the Toyota 7 car to do that cup lol. On the plus side it's great as you can use it in B spec on the early levels with the jap races lol You end up about half a lap ahead after 5 laps of leaving your driver to just do whatever he wants. I normally go do some chores and come back to start the next race.

It's from the used garage isn't it? Meaning waiting around for it to appear :p I managed it in a race modded Dodge Challenger 70.

By the way, intro for spec 3.0 lol

^ So funny. Look at that baby go! :D

In truth, I wish they'd spent less time with cars like this, and more on.... blah blah blah etc

Yeah, I used the Dodge for most of the Historic cup, but needed the Toyota to do Monaco. Think it was a prize car in B-spec somewhere.

There's another update tomorrow to fix some things

We will be doing an October GT5 update in North America and Europe, planned for Oct. 27th. This will consist of:

1. Kart Space I/II of the DLC will become drivable with cars other than Karts in the online lounge and free run of Practice

2. Expanded restriction options for cars in the online lounge [Car Restrictions], [Performance Points], [Power], and [Car Model] regulations will be possible to set simultaneously.

3. Fix for issues in: Setting sheets, G25/27, resuming from pits in endurance races, TC car numbers and LSD settings, etc.

Many more minor adjustments have been made, but something like this.

http://twitter.com/#!/Kaz_Yamauchi

Been playing this a lot more and that patch about the resumption of endurance is nice to see. Wheel/Stand for Birthday, 3DTV from the parents for Xmas :) should certainly add to the experience over my current DS3 lol

yup (Y) i can finally start doing endurances races :)

i'm on 29 still, almost 30. how some of you are at 40 already (well months ago) is amazing to me.

you are right about the lighting. I've been creeping the forza photo thread and while the game does looks amazing, i've commented that it's lighting seems "meh" at best when compared to GT. i guess that's PD taking advantage of the CPU in the ps3? the best games in terms of lighting are usually on PS3 IMO (other then PC games of course) I.E. the lighting in uncharted 2 is the best lighting i have seen in a video game (i haven't played 3 yet and won't be for a long while :( )

Pretty good car models, but there's far too much bloom going on. Who even uses bloom nowadays?! (Looking at Skyrim which better not look like Oblivion).

Probably B-Spec grinding for lots of cash, buy crazy top end cars, cruise A-Spec mode. Or, taking advantage of the seasonals when they used to give out like 300% EXP/Money bonuses.

Poor man like me would've been waiting a while to get one of these! Costs 10m.

By the way does anyone have any tips for getting gold on the very last karting experience? Still haven't managed it. Cleaning up some of the special events I'm still to complete just now.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
