I never played GT6 but i am thinking of buying it.

Anyways can somone please help me? I have some DLC for this game that i bought like 2 - 3 years ago. Now i want to play it again with the DLC. But for some reason they took off all the DLC for this game. I am just kinda of confused can i still use the DLC? I don't see Gran Turismo 5 in the PSN store. Does anyone know what happen to the DLC?

I was a big fan of the GT series going back to #2, and by far when it comes to racing in my mind is the best overall experience for a racing sim with team ownership. I have sunk countless hours into it, and 5 the most as I went the farthest in it. Though I would always get the S license, and a few supers in each game but in 5 I had a lot of them and nearly 100% the A series.

The major turnoff for me is the focus on the Japanese car lines, especially the Nissan brand. It seemed like 1 out of every 2 cars was japanese, and those were 50% Nissan, and 85% of them were Skylines. I would get pissed off after finishing a circuit only to receive yet another Skyline I would never use and could have bought myself I wanted the full collection.

As for the DLC and other matters with GT5, it was removed last year along with online support and servers shut down earlier this year.

I only played the first two. I enjoyed the first, not the second.

If you allready have purchased GT5 DLC content, they should be: Sign In -> Account Management ->Transaction Management -> Download List

I own GT5 on my PS3, and allready purchased DLCs working just fine. (at least those purchased before 30 Aptil 2014)

If you don't have purchased any GT5 DLCs yet:

After 30 April 2014, players will be unable to purchase any Gran Turismo 5 DLC, as it will disappear from the PS store forever. !!!

Specifically, Sony says that the following services will come to an end: Online Lobby, Seasonal Events, Museum, News, Community, Remote Race, Log in Bonus, Online Dealership and DLC purchase.

---------

You wanna definitely purchase GT6, as it has much more challenges as the previous GT5 game. !!! (Even Moon exploration challenges...what ??? - YES IT HAS.) lol

I don't wanna spoil anymore... :wink:

Really liked the series, but I always played them on someone else's console.

I think Gran Turismo lacked a lot of competition when it started out. That allowed it to really allowed it to lay the ground work for the racing simulation genre. Fast forward to today, and I find that Gran Turismo is very vanilla compared to games like Forza, Dirt, Grid and Project Cars.

It will always have a special place in my heart, though. Except for those license challenges.

Yeah I like Gran Turismo, but since getting an Xbox I've learnt that Forza is a far superior series.
