bi555 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 ciao a tutti, avrei alcune domande su GT5, spero possiate aiutarmi e scusatemi se vi sembrerò ignorante: - nella demo delle vetture si alternano due tracciati di solito: uno l'ho individuato nella Toscana asfalto, mentre l'altro immerso nel verde con staccionate in legno, non riesco a capire che tracciato sia. sapreste aiutarmi? - come metodi poco ortodossi sono arrivato a sbloccare la 24 ore di LeMans, ma mio malgrado ho verificato che anche qui non c'è possibilità di inserire i danni come invece si può fare nelle gare Arcade. Nelle gare Arcade però non c'è la possibilità di inserire le gare a tempo (nel mio caso 24 ore) e tanto meno di salvare/sospendere la gara entrando ai box... Qualcuno sa come correre dunque la 24 ore di Lemans anche con i danni e salvare la partita per correrla in più sessioni? Grazie a tutti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tra le novità, il cambio gomme anche per le auto standard, la possibilità di ricomprare le auto del DLC dai concessionari, miglioramenti al consumo dei pneumatici e agli effetti sonori in pista, nuovi settaggi per i volanti e sopratutto un'auto bonus: la Toyota FT86 (versione 2012) come omaggio ai fan della serie. La Sony comunica inoltre che nel solo 2011 è stato venduto un altro milione di copie di GT5, per un totale di 7,3 milioni dal lancio. Major Changes and New Features Wheels can now be changed on Standard cars. Downloadable contents can now be shared by multiple users with the Family Upgrade.(See Polyphony’s complete FAQ for more details.) Cars purchased through DLC will now appear in the Car Dealerships. You can purchase additional versions of the same vehicles within the game using earned race credits. A copy button has been added to the lower left of the settings screen. A settings sheet saved in either A/B/C can now be copied to A, B or C. Gifts Toyota 86 GT ’12 will be available to all players who install the 2.02 update. Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or restore chassis rigidity in GT Auto. 10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update. The Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SPL. and five New Car Refresh cards will be provided to customers purchasing any DLC packs released in October 2011. The New Car Refresh can be used from the Special Coupons option in the items list, and will return your car to its brand new condition (before breaking-in the car’s engine). Equipped parts and current paint on the car will not be affected by this card. Other Improvements Pressing the □ button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery, will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once (maximum number of coupons you can receive at once is 100). Tire-wear speed adjustment In GT Auto you can now see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application.

The [steering Type] (Amateur/Professional) settings in the Game Options will be ignored, and the controller’s steering angle will now directly affect the tire turning angle of the car. Correction of Known Issues Fixed issue where you would overrun without resetting, when entering pit lane at low speed on some tracks. Fixed issue with Performance Points calculations for the Red Bull X2010 and the X2011. Fixed issue where the rear wing/aerodynamic settings were reset when switching between setting sheets. An issue was corrected where the car would become stuck in autopilot from the pit lane if a certain condition is met in an endurance race on the Tsukuba Circuit. Also revised the entry route during pit stops and speed judgement.

VELOCIPEDE Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 In a Christmas Day surprise, Newegg, Amazon, and Buy.com have revealed a mysterious new game: Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition. Both Amazon and Newegg list a release date of January 17, 2012 and a price of $39.99 USD, but offer no further details on what this “XL Edition“ will actually contain. This actually isn’t the first time the “Gran Turismo 5 XL” name has surfaced; it was originally included in a brief Sony FAQ about their “PlayStation Rewards Program” earlier this month, but didn’t garner much attention without any other supporting evidence or rumors of its existence. With three major U.S. retailers now officially listing the product, however, it is all but confirmed. XL will – most likely – be the North American version of the Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 disc update recently announced for Japan, which includes all of GT5‘s software updates and DLC out-of-the-box. As you may recall, Sony Europe has already downplayed the chance of Spec 2.0 discs for the Old World. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
