Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 - Update

[Ink]

Today, I am very pleased to announce details of Functionality Update 2.0 which is the most sizable since the game launched. The update will be available for download on the 11th October. Of course the real bonus of all of this new content is the fact that it’s all absolutely free!

Here’s the rundown on what you can expect to see in the update.

Firstly all ‘standard’ cars will now feature an interior view, the level of detail will vary from car to car, but now for the first time you will be able to literally get behind the wheel of all the cars in the game.

Next is the great news that players can now save their progress during endurance races and return to the fray at a time of their own choosing.

For fans of the stateside motoring championship NASCAR, there is a package of 11 NASCAR 2011 cars. There has also been improvement to the weather settings in the game and now players can incrementally adjust weather settings for race start and race end.

Additional features of this update are:

• Photo Travel Mode updates
• Shortening of load times and improved menu response
• Improved car physics simulation, further evolved A.I.
• Improved and enhanced user interface
• Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheels
• New features in the Online Lounge

Nice update! Which obviously has nothing to do with Forza coming out.
Interior for standard cars and better AI, woot!

Currently the uses 8GB of HDD space, so with GT5 Spec 2.0 coming out tomorrow it could bump it up a few more GB's.

Forza.

It's only an 1192MB update, not too bad.
