A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:
ˇSeasonal Events
[Seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT
Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official
online events from the Polyphony Digital team.
In these events, all participants race under the same regulations, and
if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time
Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players
around the world.
ˇOnline Dealership
An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the [GT
Mode]-[GT Life] screen. In here you will find popular and rare used
cars.
You might just come across that one car you’ve always been looking for,
that you haven’t been able to find in the [Used Car Dealer]
ˇOnline Race Rewards and Experience
When you complete a race in the [Open Lobby] or [My Lounge], you will now gain rewards and experience points.
Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you’ll still be
able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in [GT Life].
ˇDriving Distance and Number of Wins in Online Races
The driving distance and the number of wins you achieve when you
complete a race in [Open Lobby] or [My Lounge] will now affect your
stats in [Profile] and the [Garage].
Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within [GT Life].
ˇImproved Rewards
The rewards for winning races in both A-Spec and B-Spec in [GT Mode]-[GT
Life] have been increased for a limited time only. (This applies until
the end of January 2011)
This is a great chance for those who were previously having difficulties
getting ahead in the game, due to a lack of funds for tuning and
purchasing required cars.
ˇRace Information Display
[Race Information Display] is now available in [Start]-[Quick Options]. (You can also see this in [Race Display] in [Options]).
ˇSave Data Backup
You can now copy and restore your save data. For details, please refer to the in-game [Manual].
ˇPersonal BGM (Menu)
From [Options]-[Hardware]-[Audio], it is now possible to set the
[Personal BGM] (Menu)]. (This can also be accessed from the [Music
Library] within [GT Mode]).
ˇCar Name Change
The official name of "Red Bull X1" has been changed to "Red Bull X2010".
ˇIntegration with the Website
The main features within [GT Mode]-[Community] can now also be accessed through the "gran-turismo.com" official website.
[Important Note:]
* We have made improvements to the [Log] within [GT Mode]- [Community]
section, in order to make its operation more stable. Please note that
the information that was here before the update has been reset.
* Some contents of the update will not be applied unless you sign in to the PlayStationŽNetwork when you play the game.
