Gran Turismo 5: What's New in Update 2.0?

Cool.

It's too bad the AI is still horrendous. Seriously, for all of the effort they put in, the AI is the absolute worst AI I have ever seen in the current decade for racing games. It's really sad. Not everyone wants to play online and frankly, when you have to level yourself up so far racing the computer I'm amazed that people don't care about it more.

@grognard GT5 has 200 fully modeled, photo realistic cars in it. The best looking in any racing game.

@djmiranda15 You don't have to make personal attacks on another person when he/she disagrees with you.

@djmiranda15 And I can't doubt your allegation at GameSpot? False information is only false if you can prove that it is false. Which information about this update are you pointing out as false, if I may ask? . If you haven't noticed, this is a GameSpot exclusive video - so it has a watermark. But that's just it - it tells nothing more than it is an exclusive video. Sony could still have made the video and handed it over to GameSpot. Of course, you and I have no proof that it is certainly made by GameSpot or made by Sony and then given over to GameSpot. That watermark is nothing more than just to identify that it is a GameSpot exclusive.

@Gelugon_baat So you're telling us we can't criticize Gamespot now!? False information is false information no matter how you color it. And I actually have nothing against Gamespot, except for (a part of) this video (and a few minor things). That's why I still hang around. They post news, I read them. They make a review, I watch it. Just because I like Gamespot doesn't mean I must ignore when they make a mistake. And of course Gamespot made this video, it's so obvious. Sony can't make a video with a Gamespot watermark and the same composition as other gamespot videos without breaking copyright laws. Even if said video is for Gamespot exclusively.

@djmiranda15 The gist about the update there is cockpit view for all standard cars, which they have said and remains true, regardless of the video shown. They didn't even say anything about an upgrade in the looks of the cockpit view - just that there are now cockpit views for every standard car. - you and those like you blow it out of proportion and pose it as a misleading statement just to make an attack on GameSpot, whom, I repeat, doesn't really owe you players of Gran Turismo anything. Also, you are not asking this question: Did GameSpot really make that video? Or is it a video handed over to them by Sony? I doubt that GameSpot could and would even cobble together that video, complete with a song.

@Jarek_Cyphus even if gt5 have 1000+ cars and forza4 500 cars. I prefer a lot more getting a new car in forza compare to gt5. A lot of cars in gt5 that I did not like and after playing forza, I felt in love with those same cars. Then amount of premium cars in gt5 is way more boring than forza. And btw, I'm a huge fan of both games! I have built two playseat with two wheels to be able to play each game without having to switch the steering over and over again.

not bad

@Gelugon_baat My biggest gripe with the video is showing false information on standard car cockpit view. They showed a premium car cockpit view, which has 100x more detail. Then people buy the game because of that and flood the forums with stupid questions. @teteringen Both features are in the game as of this patch. @grognard Instead of 100 full detail cars, why not 200+ and some extra less detailed ones. *facepalm* at your logic.

This game will always be the top racer around.Gran Turismo is what made me like racers in first place.

@Jarek_Cyphus - you're definition of a good racer is how many cars it has? Quality over quantity. I'd rather have 100 cars I want to drive and that are fully modeled, rather than 700 additional cars that took the art assets from a 7 year old game that I'd never want to drive anyway.

Beside the cockpit view for all cars, the 2 biggest improvements are lacking. 1. The ability to suspend an endurance race. As no man on earth has actually done 24hrs of LeMans all by himself, it is a total mystery why the real driving simulator expected us to keep driving for 24hrs straight. 2. Bonus money and experience if you log on consecutive times. Both features help save our Planet as we do not have to keep or PS3 running for days, either pausing an A-spec 24hrs endurance or letting B-spec Bob do 24hrs Lemans for 10 times in a row with nobody actually watching or babysitting him.

skip to 2:00 in the vid to see where the intro actually starts

though forza looks sooo much better and it was a while waiting for gt its nice to see some usable and welcomed dlc, hopefully it may reinterest me in a game i so enjoyed but was left a little deflated when it arrived.

@DrunkinPeasant: Not sure if serious... if you are, then I don't know how anyone else can take you serious. You're probably a Forza 4 fan who assumes your game is bug/issue-free, aren't you? As a consumer on this update, I can say Polyphony Digital delivered on their promise. While I also like Forza 4, I'm still waiting on THAT game to have 800 cars. I rest my case.

GT Academy From virtual to reality is what makes this game the best simulator in my opinion congrats to Bryan Heitkotter!

so it took a year to crank out this patch? Wow...thats...terrible...all of these things should of been on the game at launch

Sony always try their very best to fix any game that has problems any they actually read our feedback...THX Sony this made my day :D

@IAMTHEVIPQUEEN If GameSpot's doing this for itself, it wouldn't even be putting man-hours into cranking out an article on the update. Sony isn't even paying GameSpot for the promotion of this update.

@gelugon_baat Gamespot is doing this for itself. Without gaming and gamers there would be no Gamespot.

Some of you should be grateful that GameSpot is even acknowledging the existence of this update. GameSpot's doing this for you, fans of Gran Turismo, and some of you figuratively bite its hand.

Forza still kicks this little guys butt

Gran Turismo 5 ROCKS

everytime i hear this song, i get all hyped up and wanna drift

thank god.... I will have to blow the dust off this one and bust it out again

I just might have to get this game now.

finally cockpit views for all cars.

@bijanjoker Lmao, ur delusional!!!

What I want to know is why the 3 or 4 best tracks, are all on GT PSP, and not on GT 5. Especially the one, I dont remember the name, but you literally drive through a village that on the coast and a hillside, great track. IMO this game should include all the tracks that have been plus new ones, instead of throwing some out and adding some in.

Shortened load times, thats a lie. i found it takes longer to start a race. have to wait for each car to load then i can click start. dashboard view is a joke. i wish they put a bonnet camera view 'not to roof camera' like what other acing games do...

wow got to love when gamespot does not fact check

ya this really shouldve come with the game originally but its nice to see that PD cares and is fixing things...now i may actually buy this game one day...its at least worth buying as a greatest hits title

maybe you should review 2.01 instead. cause you know, the 2.0 patch was nothing but problems. Also, why did it take 2 weeks to post this? Old news if you ask me. way to go gamespot!

Epic fail, Gamspot. You should've spent more resources in actually making a decent 2.0 showcase video. The cockpit view of standard cars is nothing but a black mesh, some dials and a pair of hands rotating when cornering. And you also forgot to mention the "save during endurance races" feature and "DLC support". Anyways it's really nice to see the dedication of PD to it's fans. We actually get free stuff and vast improvements to existing features.

GT5 should have launched with these features..... Now I may actually buy the game, the one feature I wanted was cockpit view for all cars. I drive a heck of a lot better from behind the wheel, for some reason I can judge a corner better and I have better senses when behind the wheel, I can also focus on driving.... In third person I get distracted by the scenery and other vehicles, corners all look wider or narrower than they really are and the view just feels unnatural.

GRAN TURISMO 5 is a BEST racing game of all a time*

Wow you are late gamespot...The next update has already been released.....2.01 I believe
