If anything, the arrival of hybrid cars has probably made the online experience more popular?

I never bothered with it before, but now I can host or join rooms catering specifically for "goofing off" in these cars.

I don't see how that can stop people because anyone with any sense will have backups of non-locked saves on their HDD already. All we have to do is add hybrids to these and boot up the game.

PD have always included backwards compatibility with their saves, even version 1.0 saves will load fine with the 2.11 version. It must be a deliberate policy.

Anything else would require a major rewrite of the code and I can't honestly see that happening this late in the game. Its not worth the expense. Expect it in GT 6...

But we'll have to uipdate our game to beable to play online. And, you cannot play older saved games unless they are upgradded to the latest. So there's no escaping that...

First off one of my friends went to buy GT5 and they were sold out! If statistics show an increase in GT5 sales (considering buying it new is so cheap that it isn't even worth buying it used for the same price) why would they patch it? Not only that but if they did it might piss enough people off to say screw buying GT6. What they should do is add an update to the game with a tuning garage so everyone can do swaps the way it was originally intended to be. On another note, look back at when PS3 came out and no one played PS2 anymore. When GT6 comes out that is the patch. New game, better graphics, better online play, ect.

I totally agree with you.
:y:

the 1500HP drag rooms are the most fun i've had in a while, you see a huge variety of cars instead of the usuals, makes it more fun to run whatever you want

I can't agree more, I love my replicated AMS Alpha 12 GTR and Underground Racing Gallardo TT.

1 - Its just a marketing line of think. Since as long as more DLCs means more profit for the frenchise, and moded cars are much more accurated to the single costumer desires (diferent than more GTRs and Skylines, Hybrid Racing Prius and anything similar), actualy its an unfair challenge to the PD. Otherwise, new DLC means new puzzle parts for more moded fun. But all in all, right now we have access to more content than the greedy Yamauchi San would want, including DLC content for free.

2 - Well, there are several rumors poping out here and there. GT6 will be made for PS3 or PS4? What about that photos leaked on the facebook by a italian motorsport tuning garage? Otherwise the last things maded for the GT5 was a Stingray and maybe one or another updates to fix some few issues in the game. Paid DLC´s = none for months. I don´t know about what you think, but sims like the PD doesn´t have huge plans for GT5 as a game anymore. Unless you consider the GT Academy something important to the players (cose i dont), there is nothing else related to this release that will be explored untill the GT6 release.

But thats right, its all based in impressions... if you have something to disagree or counter-argue, i´d like to read.

Oh no, I'm convinced it's coming to the PS4, you just seemd so certain when there's practically no information released, lol.
