Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 update revealed, dated Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 update revealed, dated

Lands 12th October.

Polyphony Digital has announced the details and date of the first big Gran Turismo 5 patch, which it dubs Spec 2.0. It'll be available on 12th of October.

The list of updates goes as follows:

  • Simplified interior view added to all standard cars
  • User control of the weather change feature
  • Added a setting sheet feature allowing you to save multiple car settings
  • Spec 2.0 opening movie
  • Improved UI response and usability
  • Replay fast forward/rewind
  • Mid-race save feature for endurance races
  • Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races)
  • Expansion of the B-Spec remote race you can play from GT.com (a graph display now shows changes in race rankings)
  • Expanded photo travel features - you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar
  • Added a NASCAR Pit Scene stage to Photo Travel
  • Added eleven 2011 model NASCAR cars
  • Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Shulze Motor Sport
  • Improved physics and AI
  • Support for the Logitec G25/G27 Steering wheel

We like the sound of a lot of these, though have to question the viability of a new Spec 2.0 opening movie. We're also sure that the patch's timing (coming one day after the US release of competitor Forza Motorsport 4) is purely coincidental... honest.
