Track logos point to possible Gran Turismo 5 DLC

GTPlanet recently did a bit of internet sleuthing into the Gran Turismo 5 official website, and uncovered logos for 24 tracks which aren't currently available in the game. A few have appeared in past titles, including Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo PSP -- but all 24 have never appeared together in the same title. Check out the process through which these logos were divined on this GTPlanet forum post, and check out the full list of tracks after the jump.

It's unclear whether these logos are actually indicative of a batch of tracks that are coming to Gran Turismo 5 as DLC -- though it's worth noting that the list contains the track "El Capitan," which was shown as a GT5 track in a cross-promotional video posted (briefly) by Red Bull last year. If that particular track actually ends up in the game, that would mean that Polyphony Digital has been working on it for a while! Why, that doesn't sound like them at all.

And still no Special Stage Route 11 or Complex String. :(

Still, the more the merrier I suppose.

I hope they're free, not sure if i would pay more than £5 for the tracks.

i'm still playing this game. it's awesome. very underrated.

@sticks

It's Gran Turismo. I'm pretty that alone is the opposite of underrated.

@GewurztraminerX

im pretty too

@GewurztraminerX

and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

@GewurztraminerX I think he's talking about poor reviews like the one done by joystiq, that expected the game to be the second coming of Christ, even tho we knew the short coming of the game way before it came out.

@mmmfishtacos

You can't really blame Joystiq for being so hard on Gran Turismo. A game that took almost 5 years to release, and with its pedigree should have knocked the socks off of everyone. I know many of you think Forza is a piece of crap, but reality says that is a quality racer that can compete with Turismo and now has had a consistent bi-annual release without hiccups. I don't know went on at Polyphony Digital these past few years, but their long development time certainly didn't correlate with their finished product.

Didn't they say they were going to re-release the standard cars as premium?

Anyway, more tracks = more fun!

@Mr Hett
Yes, They did.
There are so many standard cars that i prefer over the premium cars.

Honestly, I'm amazed that they were missing to begin with. They seemed like staples.

can't wait for more tracks!!

No Spa?
=(

@zedex

No kidding, it's a glaring oversight. While we're talking classic track, how about Imola, both pre and post Senna.

I don't know if thats right or wrong, but I hope PD keep supporting the game.

It could also be tracks that were originally intended to be in the game but were cut after they already made up the logos for them. Besides, they already had them in a folder and everything and forgot to remove them.

Just saying, could be that too. I hope not and they release the tracks as DLC. El Capitan was awesome.

This is the kind of thing I'll pay money for. With the way GT5 is structured, there's literally thousands of things you can do per track simply because of the number of cars in the game.

@Credge thats what im always getting on about. it really is one of the most variable and complex games ive played, just in the way it controls. i would pay for new tracks, and maybe new cars. and i would absolutely love a customizable painting option where i could add my own racing stripes.

they all sound great!

I still miss pikes peak....

these look familiar(!)

If anyone knows the answer to this question please reply.

For those who purchase the downloadable Prologue version of Gran Turismo 5, do those people get any extras or bonuses when they purchase Gran Turismo 5?

@XenoSilvano

nope... i downloaded prologue, and golded it entirely... still start from scratch in GT5 ;)

@XenoSilvano
Yeah I was pretty sad with that...
The website says that you would mantain the same cars, but nothing until now =/

@WillPG1212 - What!? NOTHING! Not even the cars? lol.

So we paid the price of full game just to play what is essentially an incomplete version of Gran Turismo 5, what a rip off! We don't even get to keep the cars!

well now I know, thanks for that.

@R2D2586 - This is a joke, I can't believe they didn't through any extra, a discount or 'something' in there, like a, "thanks for paying for Gran Turismo 5 TWICE!", arh and I bet they're laughing it all the way to the bank!

I'm gonna faint. Thanks!

Hurray for more tracks!!

I would like them to upgrade the standard cars to premium... But more tracks is always good =)

While I welcome the return of older tracks, I'd be happier if they fixed the fuzzy shadows and the constant screen tearing.

@ElTiante I agree, the fuzzy shadows are ridiculous.

I'd personally love to see Road Atlanta added as a playable track, or if PD could make their own fujimi kaido for GT5. Both are fantastic tracks.

Ahh...some classics in there that I've been sorely missing from GT5. Need 1/4 drag strip too. I used it a lot in GT4 to tune my gear ratios and acceleration.

I think Polyphony needs to be showing some love to those who purchased Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to have this one back, it's a staple and a travesty it isn't shipped with GT5.
