Hey!

Here it is (Ill translate) =

Gran Turismo 5 has gotten an update for the online play which is already accessible. The update will make the shadows in the games better and also add three diffrent types of mechanical damage, that you can adjust in the Lounge area to either Heavy, Light or None.

Improved shadows... I wonder..  to patch it within a few days after release is great but seriously... don't you like notice that in those 5 years you work on a game?

i (and a lot of other people) noticed them in the GT Academy  demo, it seems Sony doesn't notice stuff until IGN tell them so.

Or they doesn't have time to work... because the release date was delayed a lot of time.

huh? delays would mean no time? , delays are meant to make the game better.

besides they patched it up in just a few days, special effects like shadows don't need a lot of time to tweak.

First review... so much damage to ruin a race.

GT5 Patch 1.03: Mechanical Damage Verdict

Verdict
Unfortunately we can’t help but think that mechanical damage still needs a bit of work. We prefer the light damage option, which seems a bit more forgiving in the actual damage received and less likely to ruin a race. However, its brief period of effect means it’s less bothersome and open to abuse from aggressive racers – and considering that the penalty system already in place does a decent job of stopping that kind of racing means mechanical damage is, so far, a little redundant.

What we would like to see is a medium damage option, filling the void between light and heavy that makes it suitable for those looking to race properly, but not so excessive that a single, slight collision should destroy the chance to win.

The shadows were horrible and really jagged - good to see that they've done something about it.

now they just need to improve the AI... can that be done in a patch?

I'm my opinion, outside the Licenses and Challenges, the A.I is rather fine.

During the GT World Championship, I had a very aggressive opponent (whose name was U.Vettel ), who would always try to use my slipstream, brake late to get the inside of the corner and out-manouver my Enzo with his XJ220 LM Race Car. Also he rarely used the same driving line twice.

I'm getting really tired of Sony thinking they can rush & patch.

I know there's a loading patch coming, and probably a bunch more on the way. Not buying this til it's goty edition with all patches included. Stop fucking around Sony.
