More GT5 Details Confirmed by Polyphony Digital
Polyphony Digital have conveniently published their own independent and specific confirmation of the features we’ve been learning about via media outlets over the past two days, thanks to one big update to their official site. In addition to what was already discussed here and here, this is what’s new:
As confirmed in a note on the Japanese site, the 800 “standard cars” in the game will not have interior view or high-beam headlights (new video of standard cars here, thanks Paskowitz).- NASCAR pit crew’s actions have been specifically re-created.
- All cars will be able to “roll over” if involved in an accident.
- Damage may “not necessarily be applied to all races in the game”.
- You will be able to define your own password-protected online races with your friends, and you’ll be able to control all of the event’s regulations.
- “You can host ‘Track Days’, where everyone can drive freely on the track. You can try to shave down your laptimes, you can teach someone how to drive, or just enjoy drifting.”
Vehicular damage was also clarified:
Physics-Affecting Damage
This is damage in which the physics simulation is affected by alignment deviations, etc. This is damage that affects controllability, and the car may not drive straight, or it might become unstable in corners, etc. depending on the amount of damage. Affects all cars.Dirt, Scratches, and Dents
This is damage that can be visually seen, and involves dirtying of the body, scratches and dents. Affects all cars.Separation (dislocation) of Body Panels
This is damage in which body panels are dislocated from their original positions, or deform. Affects only premium cars.

Yeah it’s pretty much confirmed ALL cars have cockpit views.
Premium cars will have cockpit damage AND when the cars are damaged on the outside they will be to the extent you can see the interior components.This article needs to be updated or a new post made.
CLEAR THIS UP GTPLABT FFS

Damn, if they do not have the driver’s view in every car, I will be severely disappointed. I hope that they at least fix the lights on every car (both high- and low-beams and the reverse lights) and make the tires show skid marks!

One more thing I just thought of: having “standard” and “premium” versions of cars will be a very BAD idea. What if a manufacturer knows that it’s cars are not modeled to their full potential? Wont it look bad if only certain cars have their interior views? This will be VERY BAD for business. Every car model should look the best it can look, no matter what country of origin, how new or old, how powerful, or how exclusive! This is just unacceptable!

Hey guys, long time reader… first time posting. I just translated the japanese text on the official GT web site on the standard cars and it pretty much says the is NO interior car view. Ill leave the translation and you can make you own decision.
“The recording volume, how over 800 models. Age range, the richness of variety to choose from different categories, “Standard Car” will say the biggest attraction.
※ “Standard Car” does not correspond to the interior view. “

Could PLEASE someone official from GTP clear things up? Because I can hardly believe PD dares and releases 800 cars without cockpit view. Which in my book is something else than interior view. I would take it that interior view is free viewing the whole of the inside of the car, while cockpit view is just the usual view outside the windscreen with steering wheel and dashboard.
So I’d be very grateful if this could be addressed as I’m very confused because of this news.

ANSWER ME PLEASE!ALL CARS/1000/HAVE COCKPIT VIEW IN GT5??ONLY PREMIUM CARS?THANKS!

So tell me: why should PD say that only the cockpits of the premium cars have also “cockpit-damage”, if there are no standard cockpits?

Will the game contain the track editor rumored in 2009 ?

Can someone please tell me if the japanese sports cars such as imprezas evos supras skylines are premium. IT will be a HUGE disapointment if they are not.

Oh and what is on Gamespot must be try. Give me a break. Could certain people maybe stop posting assumptions or presumptions which are nothing more than whispers in the wind? Do we actually have any further facts.

Ok. So did nobody think to ask someone from sony or Kaz himself if the statements made in relation to standard cars indicate that there will not be a cockpit view of any kind or any level? Because some of the opinions above seem to have all the foundations of a mill pond.

Here’s my thought on the whole cockpit view thing. i believe we will get it on all cars. the reason for this, ferrari was one of the noted manfacturers that did not want realistic crashing done on their cars. Therefore, none of the ferrari cars can be premium models. But we’ve seen cockpit views of the cars in prologue, but also the enzo, and i think the italia as well.

Ferrari all premiums.Don’t you see the video?

Guys calm down.It’s oblivious that no cockpit view in standard cars.Just summarize all we knew and number of cars.You will see the truth.

Yeah, I also saw it on Gamespot, ALL cars will have interior views, but Premium cars will be 100x more detailed.

Wow, you guys sure are whiny.
Do you think modeling the cars is the only thing they did in five years? There’s so much more to building a game than that. A lot of new stuff has been added since GT4 – a lot of them being stuff you guys complained were lacking in GT4, remember, like day/night cycling and damage – and that takes a lot of work to do it to the high standards they set themselves (and as you can see from the coverage of E3, it’s pretty much worth it). The fact that they’ve somehow managed to model over 200 cars at that level of detail while doing so is beyond me (I’m pretty sure they’re just futureproofing them for the next release, so they can just lump them in).
I am slightly disappointed that it leaves over 800 cars with no interiors, but I understand the circumstances. Look at it this way – GT3 (their first big leap to a new console) only had 150 cars, so why are you complaining about 200?
But I guess whiners always whine… *shrug*

After reading most posts, and then “Mike james”, i visted gamespot to see what they said. This is a direct quote from their staff:
“we were indeed able to look left and right from inside the cockpit of the Dodge Challenger that we’d opted to take for a spin around the new Rome street circuit.”
Read the article, they clearly played the game. (i’m not about to post a gamespot link here ;). The name clearly reads: GTP_Hydro….So here’s my question (s):
Is the Dodge Challenger a “premium car”?
If not, how did they play using the cockpit view?The push for the headtracking software is everywhere, and well documented.
Do they really want to push a feature so hard that is only available in 20% of the cars?All of the cars in GTP had interior views. Why can’t they be included, they are done anyway (the non-premiums)?
Hope i don’t start too big a fire..lol.
I’ll just add this to the dissapointed side of the debate if indeed the game leaves most interiors out:
GT5 will be the ultimate sim racer. No one seems to debate that. “sim” racer to me,has a pretty high standard it would seem. I would like to actually “sit” in the car as i drive it to experience the actual view a real race driver does (even though i’m admittedly faster with the bumper cam, kinda hate it,). I’ve never seen a race car driver strapped to the hood roof, or bumper of the car, let alone drive from there. I don’t want the “tv” views. I want the real thing.
I had the real thing (and still do, and will forever) in GT5P – The Demo of the full game.So yup i’m buying on the first day, and i’m sure i’ll love it, but to only see roughly 130-40 or so new interiors (counting GT5P for the rest) out of what i had truly believed to be 1000 different views, ends all of the latest news on a slight sour note.
Not nearly enough to spoil anything, so i won’t shed a tear if 800 cars have one of my favourite features excluded, but i will be dissapointed.Polyphony Digital,and Sony, through teaser videos and a seemingly endless wait for an actual release date, have themselves, raised the bar on expectations to a ridiculous height. If they only include 200 interiors, my own expectations will be, understandably I think, not met.
Just sayin…
See you all online Nov.2!!!

My gosh some people are just picky. I see no problem with 800 cars without interiors. When you consider everything else this game has to offer, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

Christ, I’m confused by the people that say ‘unless all the cars have interiors I won’t buy the game’.
So, instead of having 200 cars with interiors, you’ll have NO cars with interiors, and no fun?
Yeah, that makes a huge amount of sense.
GTPlanet on Google+
why are peopele confused?
NO interior view means NO DRIVERS VIEW.
It even says it on officail website.
