Why cant we paint it in any color we want? You can paint your real car in any color you want.

You can paint the car any color you want you have 256 paints to choose from
the way this guys explains it makes the best sense, but nobody will know until we play the game.

I thought it was the case where you unlock a paint colour when you buy a car which uses that colour. Then once you have unlocked the colour you can buy more of it if you need to use more. I dont think you have to buy a whole other car to get more paint.

I think for some people it's easier to look past any flaws or shortcomings in a game that they want to love. For others it's not quite so easy then they've been waiting this long.

Made an account to reply to this:

I have personally been looking forward to my next gt game since gran turismo 3 (I sold my ps2 and bought a gaming pc before gt4 release so I never got to play it)
For all this time, what was in the back in my mind and what I was anticipating, was to relive the magic of buying my first second hand car again, slowly tuning it up, getting my licences, upgrading to one of my gt1-3 favorites like the NSX, gt3000 or gto and working my way up through the career mode again.

You cannot call these unreasonable, far fetched or unrealistic 'expectations'.
My only hope that wasn't as likely to happen was to be able to put the racing modifications on the cars again like in gt1-2

Now as more information is leaked/released , I find out that all but a few of the gt1-gt3 cars that I have been using in career mode in previous games are standard versions with no interior view and that look quite dated when viewed on anything but pal resolution.
Then seeing pictures (ages ago) of the racing modification option returning in the tuning menu, which made me so happy , only to get my spirits crushed by the gt auto video showing that racing mod's aren't there for the standard cars (prelude, fto, gto, gt3000 and all the other cars I have used in every gt game).

Never really questioning the fact that my favorite gt tracks would appear in gt5 like they have in all games, until that gets questioned too, the relief when seeing tokyo and grand valley then seeing the track list and seeing that they omitted seattle and the test track, both of which have great sentimental value.

It is really bitter pill to swallow, after looking forward to all these things in the back of your mind for years, only to see them get taken away.

I'm gutted as a gt fan, so why aren't some of us allowed to express dissapointment?

Everything I enjoy about gt (other than the physics) has been taken away or at least turned into a dissapointing state.
Will I still get the game ? sure.
But it will be hard to accept that the gran turismo experience will be gone for me and that I'll be playing a different game this time around.
It's as if someone took my football and pricked a hole into it and gave me something else to play with instead.

GT5 is selling well !!
Sadly 80% of these people will ram you off the road online which ruined F1 2010 too.

 

[fitftw]

wait, the racing modification livery is not available for standard cars? Okay now I'm getting upset again. I was just getting over the fact that we can't change wheels, but now racing modification is not allowed? Wow, now THAT is a serious step back. Really how hard would it have been to just include that simple feature? Jesus christ.

I stopped playing GT5P online because in 90% of the races, someone had to pit maneuver me into the wall, causing me to be half a lap behind everyone for the rest of the race. This does not happen often in real racing.

Please explain to me where it says that he tried one standard car that did not work.

 

[TheMitsuzuki]

Not complaining here, but...

Does it seem to anyone else that, slowly but surely, it's looking like we're getting two different games here?

Premium GT5 and Standard GT5

 

[cb1021]

Im pretty surprised that there is no racing among the AI themselves. Their positions never change. It's your fastest AI and the other passive AI cars...hmmmm....

<3 online feature.

On the rims meny it says you can't change rims on standar cars, on the racing modification menu it only says that you can't do it on SOME cars, like the civic he tries it with..

it's not simple feature. It's whole new body model for car.

Look for gt2 R mods.

Cars are wider and sometimes have spoilers etc.

If all standars would get R mods it would be like 1600 cars to model.

 

[sher_da_putt]

lol! Instead of reading "honey yellow" in the color list I first Read "horny yellow" I was like wait, what? Anyways it seems that you can only paint the car with colors from that manufacturer. So You can repaint a Honda in another Honda color...

Nope you can paint it british racing green in that list of colour options.

That would be terrible if you had to stick to manufacture colours.

 

[Sockan88]

I find that strange that review copies has not yet been sent out, atleast Gamereactor in sweden has not got one and they are the biggest gamesite in sweden.

it's not just manufacturer colors because the picture with the R8 getting a paint job release a while back clearly shows "Mclaren orange" being applied.

Yeah I wont be racing with random people to much. Mostly GTplanet people pretty much. Private lobbies ftw!

Someone posted on this forum that they emailed a division at Sony about review copies and were told that due to the situation (late manufacturing) review copies would get to reviewers around the same time that gamers get them. It's worth noting that most of the time reviewers get review builds which are feature complete but could feature bugs but with GT5 they'll be getting the final game.

 

[Perkel]

Same here, We still not know about all GT5 Online experience. It's big unknown.

-Team creator

This two features will make me happy

ok it's close to release date. Now, where is my new Kevin Butler GT5 Add ?

Man Furismo Jive !

 

[ThunderGod]

hi everyone. i've been through these boards analyzing all of the positive and negative comments, viewing photos and video and have boiled everything down into a simple formula:

GT1 = GT3 = GT5

GT2 = GT4 = GT6

In terms of when they'll hit TV or when we'll see them? I think that we'll see a PSblog update on the commercial this week. And it would make sense for them to at least begin airing during that SpeedTV sponsored night.

Racing modifications will not even be available for all premium cars. Just the ones we "expect", Yamauchi ones said. That was the same in GT2 by the way.

Seriously, GT5 is facing unrealistic expectations. EDIT: Although i believe the lack of a community manager, and therefor confusion, is part of the reason.

So they cant send out copies to reviewrs but random guys from czech republic can get hold of them. Sony ftw.

That GT2, GT4 and GT6 are actually GT1, GT3 and GT5, but with a lot more content.

👍 Totaly with you on that..

I for one are really exited about the game and all the things we will be getting, nobody seems to focus much on that...

 

[SolidSnakex]

They could send them out anytime they want. But there are several reasons why they wouldn't. A big reason is because Kaz mentioned that the online mode is a major part of GT5, and i'd think that they'd want that taken into account when the game is reviewed. And it seems like that mode won't be up until launch day. Just as an example, Blizzard recently did the same with Starcraft 2. Reviewers weren't allowed to play Starcraft 2 until Battle.net went up and that was on launch day. That of course meant that reviews weren't available for it until after the game was available.

You call it a bad idea, I call it game design decision

It isn't as if the GT series hasn't suffered from bad design decisions in the past. Gussying them up as being part of the "GT Philosophy" didn't disguise what they truly were, and really just obfuscates the matter. It is also a cop out, akin basically to saying "this is the reasoning of why things were done in the past, so this is how they should always be done."

it's not simple feature. It's whole new body model for car.

That's not really true. Oh, sure, for some of the cars there were extensive modifications done to them. But look at racing modified cars in GT2. Very many of them were simply the normal body with a racing livery applied, and even more were simply the normal body with a racing livery applied and a different spoiler.

Basically, that in every second iteration of GT on a PS console, it has been massively improved when compared to the first one. In other words, GT6 should be the nizzle's shizzles.

Seems like a bad idea to me. Feels like they are holding it back because they know the reviewers will find things to complain about, probably the same thing we are complaining about here. And thus give it a score sony wont like.
