GT5 gets update and DLC next Tuesday
News comes via the US PlayStation Blog that Gran Turismo 5’s next software patch will arrive on September 25th, accompanied by three super sexy high-performance cars available to purchase from the PlayStation Store.
Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Associate Product Manager Ken Chan explains that Update 2.08 will make several enhancements to GT5, and correct a number of problems that the community has reported. These are summarised as follows:
- Now possible to select “disable collisions” in the [Event Settings] of online races
- ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races
- Response of the clutch pedal when using the steering wheel controllers “G25 Racing Wheel”, “G27 Racing Wheel”, “T500RS” and “TH8RS” has been adjusted
- Rate of tire wear in endurance races has been slowed (excluding formula cars)
- Amount of air resistance change when altering aerodynamic wing settings has been increased
- Autopilot has been adjusted to prevent colliding with the wall when exiting the pit lane on the Tsukuba circuit
- Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height (vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit)
The three super sexy cars we mentioned earlier are the compact rear-wheel drive Subaru BRZ S ’12, the 3.4 litre V8 Honda Weider HSV-010 (SUPER GT) ’11, and the signature Nissan GT-R N24 GT Academy ’12, winner of the SP8T class in the 2012 Nürburgring 24-hour race. Each of these automotive monsters will cost a meagre $0.99 to download (UK/EU pricing TBC).
