Awesome deal!! Im jealous. I want a g27 baaaadddd.

The release date for 2.0 has also been set for October 11th, as confirmed by the PlayStation Blog.

Major new features and three DLC packs are coming to GT5 after the update.

Cockpit views coming to all cars, psyched!

Is this true??????

Do we have any indicator as to what tracks/cars are to be added??

Work filters prevent me from linking to the GT-5 blog :icon17: but here is the info that was posted:

Gran Turismo 5 Update 2.0 detailed

Yeah, didnt check your link but my buddy was just tellin me about it. He says they are "semi detailed" so I not expecting much. Are they the real interiors to all the cars or do you think a lot of them will be a generic interior?

Personally, I could care less about the interior views. They are great for the people that want them but I rarely use them. I might use it more if the cockpit view didn't shake so violently at high speed and if I could toggle the steering wheel off. I don't need to see my wheel and another wheel on the monitor.

They will be the same as the premiums cars, there are already a few pics of the new views on the GT-5 Facebook that I saw about an hour ago.

I like to drive with the cockpit views so this is going to make me play the game even more than I have in the past!

I have been using cockpit more ofter recently. I also like the bumper cam. Ive been trying to use cockpit unless im in a real competitive room w people on par w my skills, which rarely happens :roflpuke2: Just got home, washing my Z then gt later tonight, off work tomorrow:tup:

i have a driving force GT wheel to sale got $90 if anyone needs it

I'm pumped up about the cockviews views myself. In the premiums I drive exclusively in that view, but I have to resort to the hood view for the standards, but there is something off about that view ... it's a little too high off the ground (if it is a roof view that explains it, but who wants to drive from the roof). This has definitely made me race the standard cars much less.

What I hope is that when the standard car has a premium version (I'll talking to you rx-7, miata, Ford GT, etc.) they more or less reuse that view -- though they may have to make it a bit generic so it isn't exactly the same ...

I hate the current view for the standard cars, I can't see laterally as well as I can with the cokpit view.

I would be pretty dissappointed if it wasn't a model specific view but judging by the photos I saw earlier it will be just like the premium version.

It will probably be model specific, but not as detailed as the premiums I'm betting -- e.g. the fact that the cup holder was 2 inches to the left in the '97 miata over the '98 will not likely be reflected :roflpuke2:

Oh, btw, I WANT ONLINE RANKINGS AND STAT KEEPING ALREADY!!!! WTF!

Few pics for your viewing pleasure

In commemoration of Vettel winning his 2nd championship, the Red Bull 2010 car is free for the next 6 days starting today.

Login ASAP if you don't already have the car!

Just about complete with the sim cockpit. I'm thinking of wrapping it in black vinyl and adding a Buttkicker.

That is so badazz!

Sweet setup!

Is that monitor gonna stay in place with all the steering and braking, etc. or are you going to mount it somehow?

Got it last night. That car is insane -- not really even much fun to drive.

Nice work Eric. I like how you rigged the pedals.. Now if I can only catch you when your not in a Vette/Viper room lol

Impossible to drive :icon17:

The cockpit views for the standard cars (at least the few I tested out) are just silhouettes. Better than nothing because at least the ride height is better than hood cam, but no glimpse of hood through windshield -- they just took the bumper cam, adjusted the view and glued some black cardboard over the screen :). Oh well, at least they are still updating the game after a year.

where do you go to get it? just log in and itll tell you its free or do you have to "buy" it?

the formula GT has a real cockpit with a cool carbon wheel.. thats the only car ive checked so far that wasnt a silhouette like GT PSP

Damn, I was hoping for more cars. At least a few street cars, sucks that they all touring. Plus that track pack is laaaammmme.

The cockpit is very stable, the monitor doesn't move at all.

They need to add lightweight track cars like the Ariel Atom, KTM x-bow and that new BAC Mono into the game. The Veyron as a "premium" & the Venom GT would be nice also. Standard cars look like crap! I don't know why they even bothered.

This 2.0... huge disappintment.

Physics update, awesome. I can really tell the difference.

Car interiors? Probably the worst decision PD has ever made. They are completely black with no textures or lighting to speak of. Why did they do this? It would have been better that they hadn't done it at all. Now everyone is just going to laugh at how pathetic it is, because it is honestly distracting to have this black frame around the game screen like that.

But hey, we have GT6 prologue coming. That is to say, the GT5 DLC.

As cheesy as the standard interiors are I feel its better to have theoption than to not. Sure the detailed cockpit is nice and all but thats not what Im focused on when Im racing. Having the black frame is ok with me, I like cockpit view. Im def more excited about this update than the DLC. The DLC looks wack.

:iagree:

The bumper cam was too low and the roof or hood cam (or whatever it was) was too high. The silhouette cockpit is the right viewpoint for me, but they could have shown the hood or something or provided some generic cockpit. But, I agree that it is better than before. Now I might actually drive some of my standard cars (when the newness of Forza 4 wears off :) )

Bought a dfgt...man I suck with a wheel
