Common sense with standard and premium cars.

[Guffaluff]

For those who read the Kotaku article on GT5, this enlightening segment appeared:

"The developers have created fully modeled interiors for the Premium cars, as well as doing detailed modeling for the car's undercarriage and even the exhaust pipes! The Standard cars apparently won't have the exact interior modeling. For example, an Enzo's interior will look like the real deal, but your typical Mustang's will look like exactly like Mustang's."

I find that this is the opposite all other articles have been saying, so I sent the author of the article an email, hoping he could clarify, or at least explain what they mean by this segment .

I'll post here as soon as I get (if I get) any response, be it negative or positive .

"Common sense with standard and premium cars"
I think the 200+ "premium" cars will be for "GT5 mode" and the 800 "standard" cars will be for a "GT classic mode". A topic that has been mention before but people seem to ignore.

It hasn't been ignored...I'm a big fan of this idea. Even if it isn't a separate mode all together, at least keep the races and championships separated. Seeing 3 beautiful premium cars fly by on the replay, followed by 2 standards would just kill the immersion of the game.

separating the cars like that would almost be as stupid as "special" cars. If anyone remembers that. I guess at least youd be able to do races with them though.

I dislike the idea of having to seperate cars (as necessary as it seems to be) since you have FAR less combinations of races possilble when you segregate into groups...

... especially since both groups are of mixed content. If all standard cars would be the crummy paperbags and all premiums would be the supercars, a separation might be possible. But the way it is, I doubt it would work.

Personally I wouldn't want all premium supercars. A mix of classics and supercars would help feed everyones needs. IMHO.

Good point. But there's something that bugs me.

I just recieved a reply to my email regarding the Kotaku GT5 article. This is what I wrote (I apologize for some minor brown-nosing :

Hello there .

I've been following your website for quite a while now, and all I can say is thumbs up! .

I just read your E3 article on GT5, and I have one question, if you don't mind .

It's about this segment of the article:

"The developers have created fully modeled interiors for the Premium cars, as well as doing detailed modeling for the car's undercarriage and even the exhaust pipes! The Standard cars apparently won't have the exact interior modeling. For example, an Enzo's interior will look like the real deal, but your typical Mustang's will look like exactly like Mustang's."

Maybe you have noticed, but there has been quite a lot of fuss regarding the recent announcement of Premium and Standard cars in GT5, and if the latter have cockpit view or not. What you write in the above segment indicates that the standard cars do indeed have a cockpit/dashboard view, just not nearly as detailed as the premium cars.

Could you by any chance clarify this? Because according to some other articles, it suggests that the Standard cars don't have any form of cockpit/dashboard view. So do the standard cars have some sort of a cockpit/dashboard view? Also, if you happen to know, are the Standard cars simply upscaled GT4 models, or have the car models been improved so thy don't look out of place in a race with premium cars?

If you have the time and info to answer those questions, I (and probably all of GTplanet.com ) would be really thankful .

Best regards

And this is the reply I got:

"What you write in the above segment indicates that the standard cars do indeed have a cockpit/dashboard view, just not nearly as detailed as the premium cars."

That's correct. And that's why I wrote it.

He didn't comment on if the standard cars would be simply upscaled GT4 models or not, but this indicates that the standard cars should have a cockpit view, just not with the same amount of details as the premium cars.

Just wanted to let you guys know 💡

 

[Devedander]

Anyone remember that leaked webpage from Japan that was out a while ago? One of the bulle points was:

830 kinds of standard model (some are from Gran Turismo 4 that have been carried over to GT5)

I don't know what to think anymore

I know, lots of misleading information .

I'm gonna be an optimist and root for the idea of a cockpit/dashboard view in standard cars

 

[SuperCobraJet]

I don't know what to think anymore

Fret not Maxi, I think we will get a clarification on this in the next few weeks.

I just hope Guffaluff's guy is right.

What an interesting development.

 

[SavageEvil]

One question I pose to all in GTP, how many of us regardless if the game has 800+ standard cars without cockpit view or not, will you buy it? I will still purchase this game day one, because there is nothing like it. Now I will have to search the threads for anything on body modification/custom liveries and the like.

They could be messing with our minds. But this is probably the only post-E3 source that says standard cars do have cockpit view, so I doubt it is reliable.

I'm buying it for sure! As always I'll be using the chase cam.

I would bet everyone on here, if not already preordering, will purchase on the first day if available.

I've already preordered, once the release date was given.

Barring any horrific news or reviews I will be buying... however I will probably be waiting for the first sale (usually can find games on sale for $40 within 2 weeks of release).

I am too heavily (stupidly) invested not to... I basically got a PS3 based on dreams of GT5, picked up a G27 and was already thinking about building a cockpit or chair setup...

GT5 with 1000 awesomely replicated cars with me in the drivers seat behind my forcefeedback wheel was gonna be incredible... now the thought of no cockpits or ugly cockpits on most of the cars makes me doubt whether it's worth the effort... might be back to a walmart coffee table with the wheel clipped to it...

Why isn't that possible?

BTW from the looks of this it's actually quite likely...

That's exactly what they did, they existed in this quality before anyway (best photomode quality), the rest is done by the game engine.

I seem to use the chase camera the most often anyhow.

Well, all we can do is wait and see if there are videos about standard cars.

Common sense:

PD show us and give a try of premiun cars only, demos, GT5P, GT5TT, and then! they says to us that the mayority of cars in GT5 DONT be like that, so, the people get moaning, and they have right to do it.
