PSN Issues Holding Back Next Gran Turismo 5 Update
Gran Turismo 5 May 23rd, 2011 by Jordan

Kazunori Yamauchi is back to posting messages on Twitter Sunday afternoon, and he offered a bit of information on what’s holding up the next Gran Turismo 5 update. According to translations by our own SHIRAKAWA Akira, Polyphony Digital is waiting until the PlayStation Network finally “settles down” before publishing the next revision of the game.

Though online gaming services have been restored in most areas, it is still offline in some parts of the world, including Japan. The delay appears to be related to issues with Japanese credit card companies, and it’s not clear when they will be resolved. Other parts of the network, including the PlayStation Store, remain offline for everyone, though it’s rumored to return on May 24th.

Regardless, this is refreshing news for those of us eager to see what’s to come in the next GT5 update, though you would be wise to temper your expectations.

 

Please Yamauchi, surprise me again... I can't wait to GT5 next update.

Just me that feels like it's a bit crazy that the best selling ps3 exklusive game is not selling any DLC on the store? Or are they working 100% on GT6 and some free updates time to time for GT5.

Yamauchi said before his team was working in new tracks and premium cars for GT5.

I guess a huge update will be showed in E3 (the last huge update was 600MB).

Not sure if its listed in the logs, but i'm 100% sure the lighting/textures have changed on the standard cars since the game came out.  Some of the standard cars look much better then what i remember.

Yeap... the patches improved lighting and shadows... but the not so much... the shadows is still an issue.
