Cars uncustomizable?/Update: check post 1 to get some taste of what it should've been

[Dmarc_Atl]

too much pointless arguing on tis site
i cant even get a simple question answered

 

[TT3AZ]

Well how fun and realistic, how big is the chanse that somone will drive a tuned 300 hp civic with no body kit or aftermarket rims? Well stickers and bodyparts doesn't make the car go faster, but it increases the visual looks. If we dont care about visual look, in that case gt5 could have insivible cars. You know not everyone likes lambos, ferraris and those cars, we are street tuners, who like seeing lambos getting killed by 600 hp supras etc. Its no better feeling when some **** in a 200 000 lambo getting killed by a 40 000 grand supra .

You just don't understand. Me, and im sure alot of fans are ready to spend hours and hours customizing their favourite cars. Its just crazy.

But what you don't get is that GT has never been about those things. Where are the snow ice and dirt tracks in Forza 3? Where is the rain? Where are the 16 cars on track? Where is the native 1080p? As far as i'm concerned they can keep their livery editor and auction house, they do nothing to enhance the driving experience which is what GT has always been about. Its about the essence of driving.

So as seen here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwS-FcgsFDA

It shows that the only customizable thing in the hole 800 standard cars are the car's color and a wing. How cool is that ?. And when it comes to the 200 primiums, you can't change the color of the wheel unless you change the wheel it self. Guys we need to take this seriously. Don't just go like you don't care! . It's self expression we're talking about here. Looks like the game is 100% focussing on just driving cars. Not how we drive them, just drive them. Am i the only one who's starting to feel numb about it? I mean its a game from 2010 not a 2000 PS2 game and it's our huge 6 years of development GT5. It couldn't get any worse

GT has always been about driving cars. Its up to us on how we drive them. Now its PD who determines the appearance and customization of what we drive. Actually let me rephrase the word drive. It should be race.

 

[JakeCourtney]

Amazing all the stuff that forza was able to get in such a short time. Gt epic fail

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

thank you marchi !!!

i love the fact GT stuck to its roots while being able to incorperate new things
it seems alot of people wanted an entire different game

lol jake forza 3 is the same as forza 2 just with cockpit view
and that took them 2 years

 

[FeedMeRice]

You remind me of some fellas here who acted proffissional and claimed that the leaked copys are just a fakes. Diffirence between me and you is that i admit what i see, but you won't admit it until u get it in ur hands.

I think you have me confused with someone else.. I agree with you. The video we saw IS the game. Standard's cannot be modded beyond a wing and a paint job. Some people think that suddenly 10 more tracks, full racing modifications, etc will suddenly show up on the 24th, I'm much less hopeful.

You might as well say that it doesn't matter if we just use horses for racing on Nurburgring. The game is never really a "simulator" without accurately simulating car customization. That's a part of the driving experience which, while this may sound silly, enhances your personal attachment to your car of choice.

Oh my God, are you :censored:ing serious? Is the game out? Do you have the game? NO, so don't judge the game before you have even :censored:ing played it. It might have everything Forza does and moreso.
YOU DON'T KNOW. :censored:ing troll.
And as far as I know, GT was never about Customization and Livery and Aero mods; Kaz only delayed the game and added all of that to keep whining babies like you from... whining.

No-one thinks a whole load of **** will suddenly be there on the 24th; I have heard no-one (minus you, of course) say that at all. Heard of DLC? I guess not, allow me to explain. Downloadable Content; add-ons, such as '10 more tracks', more modifcations, more rims, patches. You don't need to think, you need to hope.

 

[TT3AZ]

Everyone that says gt5 is only about driving has wrong again. Why put tuning featuren in game, if it isnt about tuning also? The fact that we have 800 cars that cant be modded is a big shame. The game isn't finished yet, hope Kaz understand wich fail this game is. I mean the game is good etc, but the features that everyone counted on i still missing. I really thaught we would have interior in alla cars, and tuning similar to forza 3, thats minimun these days. But then again, PD can do as they please since gt fanboys defend all the stuff PD does.

You fanboys must realize that gt5 isnt the best simulator just because it has realistic driving physics. My biggest issue is, why they didn't get the supra mkiv as premium, and why multiple cars of the same models in the game? They dont want to put the supra as premium because thay are afraid it will kill all the supercars, and especially the nissan gtr 35, it must have something to do with that.

[Heath_1]

Thats crap. Probably just a review copy.

 

[fitftw]

once you all realize that GT5 has more in common with GT3 than GT4, the better off you'll be and the more you'll enjoy GT5 for what it is, a 'prologue' to GT6. I guarantee GT6 will be the last GT I'll ever buy and it better be on PS3 because this is my last gaming system.

GT5 is more like GT4.5

GT6 will not have any of this 'standard' shenanigan BS.

Forza 3 isn't like forza 2, forza 3 has more cars, and improved graphics and physics. Ive played both, and there are huge differances.

 

[Spiegel]

People will always complain about everything. If PD put livery options and stuff, people would complain that they don't care about this, that they just drive in the cockpit view and can't even see the customization, and that PD should have spent that time adding cockpit view to all cars.
Polyphony had priorities. Every game project has priorities. Unfortunately, customization was not a priority for GT5, as PD focused on the general look and driving. I agree that it would be awesome to apply some stickers on cool japanese cars, but deal with it. Now that they have the whole engine done, maybe we can see this in the next GT, who knows.

 

[Darkpitiless]

Did you guys know that Forza fans asked for Top Gear test track and now they are getting it??

 

[TT3AZ]

PD didnt focus on "looks" for the standard cars, as they graphicly look worse than the cars in forza 3. Well gt5 has good graphics when it somes to the 200 premium ones, but to the 800 others, well not so nice. It seems that KAz just put the 800 cars in game just to boast. Gt5 has 200 cars, the rest are shoeboxes

 

[Darkpitiless]

And they call KY a perfectionest.

 

[chepu]

Why when someones asks about Customization, a smart*** comes and starts talking about neons, decals and Ricy stuff???

Come on Guys, Aero parts for Racing and lighter wheels WILL improve the performance on the vehicle..

And this whole Standard limitation, I always said in the Premium vs Standard that the lack of features for them will be their flaw, not the apearance itself; guess what, a lot of people thought I was out of my mind because that cant be possible because it will be cheesy and what a surprise, we cant even change rims...

I just know ill play with standards because of necessity, not because of pure pleasure, and even though I'll enjoy them, it wont be like Premium Fun, you know, buy a car, race it, customize it, take it to photo travel and share it online... Oh well :/

 

[TT3AZ]

Kaz is a perfectionist, but he makes wierd decisions some times. I think it time for PD to hire third party developers that can fix thae cars, abviously PD couldn't fix the rest 800 cars, so he just brung em over from gt4, and with no interior! Hand down for forza atleast the have 500 cars with interior, and modding possibilities. Those cars that cant have visual modding in forza, its because of licensing issues.

Just thought I'd respond to the OP...

Yeah, the only customization that can be done to a standard car is adding a rear wing. But then, that's the only customization you could do in GT4, and these are GT4 car models. So what were you expecting? The only thing to really be upset about here are the lack of aftermarket rims on standard cars.

And most games that let you paint rims only allow you to paint aftermarket ones, so again, nothing unexpected here.

And just to emphasize this part here...

Looks like the game is 100% focussing on just driving cars. Not how we drive them, just drive them.:

Good. It's time a racing game focus on what it means to drive a car again, rather than all the gimmicks that go along with it. But maybe that's just me.

 

[TT3AZ]

The photomode wont fill a function for the standard cars, i mean, you cant personlize them, how fun is that? Kaz could might aswell made 800 invisivle cars. Gt5 is reallt gt5p 2.

Customization is not limited. Performance parts are still there. For me GT has always been about enjoying many cars and not being attached to just one. Its the reason we have 1000+ cars. The only car i've ever really been attached to in GT was the Amuse GT1 in GT4.

 

[oalithgow]

Use a Premium EK if you like Civics that much..

i dont see no premium EK just the FD2.. i like the EG more

 

[Devedander]

I like how people constantly say what "GT is about" when really:

1: You don't know what GT is about, you only know what you have personally gotten out of GT

2: What GT is about is constantly evolving and includes many things that aren't in it yet (according to Kaz who apparently has a laundry list of things he wants to impliment)

GT wasn't about taking pictures of cars UNTIL IT WAS, and then it REALLY WAS.

And no, you don't have to actually have the game to know what's in it... a lot of it has been officially announced or is spelled out for you right on screen like "Standard cars can't change wheels".

I don't have to have the game to read what it says on screen...

There is a lot of complaining about the whiners around here, but it seems the opposite end of the spectrum is at least as ridiculous and often times even less rational.

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

it really doesn't bother me that you cant do much customization to the cars .. but thats just me

and plus I Love my baby normal anyway NO ugly backwings on my viper 06 coupe ... love looking at the butt of the coupe and dont need some stupid Backwing messing that up

 

[marchi]

Really..

 

[TT3AZ]

So what, you cant personlize standard ones, and that really sucks. You cant even make your own license plates, like you can do in forza 3.

I really perfer those kind of pictures with unique cars:

This is GT5. This is no GT4. GT4 was 6 years ago. Stop living the past.

I just want to put this out there.
