Gran Turismo 5 | OT | v2.03 + DLC is LIVE | Is Your Engine Ready?!

They confirmed that there will be more wheels and "1000's" of body-modifications (wings, bodykits I assume), but nothing on engine swaps, which IMO is a good thing.

I never liked that idea. By swapping engines, you're changing the most essential part of the car.  Plus it's not, what I would call, a very "common" mod... in the sense that while most people can upgrade their exhausts, cam-shafts, turbos, etc in real-life... engine-swaps aren't as common as those mods.  Really, if you drop a Ferrari engine into an Accord, what car is it?  I don't see the automakers giving a green-light on that either.

no i liked how forza would do it. if u had a honda u could drop in the best honda motor if u had a ford u can drop the best ford engine they make. u cant cross a chevy motor into a bmw which is how i think they should make it be done

 

[waitwut]

So is GT6 gonna have better customization?
Like wider tires, better rims, engine swaps, more body mods? Thats the only thing that is missing from Gran Turismo..
I hope they have more prem. cars too, too many dope standard cars on GT5

this

step up their customization and make every car premium

i love the game no matter what anyways

So in Forza, they allowed you to drop, say, a Ford GT 5.4L engine into a Ka?  I don't know much about mechanics and whatnot, but is that even physically possible? 

Anyway, Polyphony hasn't mentioned anything (I don't think) about it, so I'm assuming it's not a part of their plans for now.  But definitely expect a bigger degree of modifications.

Lots of updates...

I see what you're saying but I meant like brand engine swaps.. Not mixing different brands engines, like a LS1 in a RX-7.. Eventhough that is pretty common these days..

@sinnerp no u cannot put a ford engine into a kia in forza.

 

[Sinner]

^ No, I meant a Ka... Ford Ka.

 

[thadoctadvocate]

Ohh idk if thts even in the game

 

[Sinner]

 No biggie... I was just being hypothetical.

 

[thadoctadvocate]

If the ka is in the game im sure u can do it. Bcuz i remember always swapping in big motors into the cheaper cars

Anniversary Edition for me.

Steelbook and Apex II are a must plus the 1million credit.

 

[thadoctadvocate]

I kinda hate how it takes so much time to get crdits in this game.

well im sure there will be a thousand cars or so (about 214 different skylines)  ... if all of them have 3 mods... bam! you've got thousands of mods.
I was so disappointed with 5, my expectations are low.

GT5 was good when the seasonal races started. They gave out a lot of credits for them

 

[hoosier bad boy 11]

Can we get the Seattle raceway please or did I miss it in 5.

 

[Sinner]

^ No, it wasn't in GT5... hoping that and HK make a return in GT6!  

 

[D Double]

They've switched the pre-order bonus.

No more Apex II guide. It's now going to be an app for IOS and Android

 

[thadoctadvocate]

also i hate how theres no porsche

 

[Sinner]

^ Yeah well, that can't be helped... I think EA still has the rights to them.  Maybe we'll get some RUF's back.

Anyway, gameplay footage.

Man, Apex II would be nice. Really enjoyed browsing that book while in the bathroom. Too bad I don't have a console anymore. :\

EDIT: Apex II is an app?! What the ****.

 

[Sinner]

Too bad I don't have a console anymore.

According to this, Tinker designed the JB car!
