XBOX is KING
Dose any one know if there will be a rolling start for online race.

Edit: Rolling start in GT is getting kind of old as a racer I want to be some one of the line.
Rolling start=CAR Standing start=DRIVER

What i would like to see is manual starts, just like in real life.

Right now all you do is accelarate and wait for the 3.2.1 countdown.

Would be cool if you could do false starts and had to time your launch perfectly to get a good start.

Sounds like a good option for professional online races.
 
The reason for the many variations is so people can buy the version of the car they have. The reason lots are Japanese is because PD is Japanese.

Wehay!

Its clear what that really means, you can swap horn sounds with other cars, interesting.

I hope for novelty horns on American muscle cars!

Yes, but in a Driving Simulator you want to be able to simulate different things. Whats the point of wasting resources to simulate the following:

Honda S2000 '99
Honda S2000 (EU) '99
Honda S2000 (US) '99

Honda S2000 '01
Honda S2000 (EU) '01
Honda S2000 (US) '01

Honda S2000 Type V '00
Honda S2000 Type V (EU) '00
Honda S2000 Type V (US) '00

Honda S2000 Type V '01
Honda S2000 Type V (EU) '01
Honda S2000 Type V (US) '01

I don´t like this also, i think it´s a cheap way to up the car count, but it´s not a waste of resources. They did not modelled those cars individually, they have the base model, and only change the specs to create the different versions.

(I assume the S2000 from 99 to 2001 are still the same model, if they´re not then take my example as cars like the R34 GTR, the GTR V-Spec, the V-Spec Nur, V-Spec Nur midnight purple, same base car, different specs).

If those cars were premium, then they would have to model two interiors, because one is a left hand drive and the other a right hand.

It´s a way to up the count, but it´s basically effortless for them.

Give me one, JUST ONE, good reason to include ALL of those. GT5 was promised the be the ultimate driving simulator. One of the taglines for the game is "Build a dream collection from over 1,000 of the world's most exciting cars, from exotic imports to muscle cars and performance supercars, to customize, race, and upgrade." I'm sorry, that list above, I'm counting it as 2 (maybe 4) cars, not 12. When a quarter of the cars are the same model (248 Nissan Skylines), that looses the excitement aspect. And we were promised "new and exciting" cars. I see a few, but I want to be able to try more than a few in a game as revolutionary as this. Where is the Cadillac CTS-V with its 556hp LSA? That is a truly magnificent car that deserves to the in GT5. Where is the Ford Mustang GT with the new 5.0? I mean, they got the new Challenger and the new Camaro? Wouldn't it make sense to include the new Mustang to simulate what all the magazines are doing in real life? I can keep going with these examples.

For one thing US cars would have catalytic converters. And if i had an EU car i would prefer to have an EU car in gran turismo. What about left hand and right drive thing? I guess everybody has an opinion.

As someone said it's "effortless for them" then why not have them. If you are bothered about car counts then have your own, cause i will have 1031 cars.

I don't see what's wrong with that. Better have them in than not, it's not like they prevent another car from being there...

I really want the vuvuzela horn.

It'll be good to annoy slower oponents online in the nordschleife...

vroooommmmmm *highbeams* vrooooooo, GET OUT OF THE WAY... vroooooooooooooommmm

I honestly rather have sony give pd more funding and so they can hire more peoples, get GT6 out quicker with much more contents.

I agree 100% with this. There´s no reason for a game like Tom Clancy to have 400-500 people working on it, and GT5 to have only 140 or so employees.

I don´t know if Sony gives them a strict budget or if KY can´t find people good enough to have on his staff, but it´s clear they need more people.

A staff economically compatible with the size of the series (in terms of sales).

A 300 man staff with 200 people dedicated to car and track modelling would be great for us.

When we complain about the lack of certain tracks and cars, it´s not a jab at the ones working there. The guys are nuts and practically live at the PD studio, they just need more people to work on it.

By this rate, with PD producing about 4-5 cars a month it´s just not viable i guess. Not good for a DLC scheme like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, and not good for annual updates. With the current staff they have we will never have up to date season models, because by the time it takes them to model the cars, the season is already over. Take the SuperGT as an example: the lastest models we have are from the ´08 season.

I´m all for quality, so i wouldn´t like them to scale down their work, but absolutely NEED more people to work on their staff.

If there´s a thing we should ask Sony regarding GT, this is it.

Exactly, i forgot to meantion that. I don´t like the PR stunt made by the numerous mentions of "will have more than 1000 cars", but if they can do it easilly, like you said, why not?

I was just pointing out earlier that they didn´t needed to model each one of those 12 S2000´s separately.
 
I think you guys talking about horns are indirectly insulting us who would have preferred custom wheels over horns lol

I don't think I've ever used a horn in any of the games, so this is really a non-issue for me. But I DO see how it would be a much much simpler inclusion than wheel swaps for all the cars.

Custom wheels are there, you can look at them, just not mount them :lol:
(on standard cars)

I honestly rather have sony give pd more funding and so they can hire more peoples, get GT6 out quicker with much more contents. Having a sister studio or team will just create competition between the two sides and we won't necessary benefit from that competition (rushing games out to meet dead lines, and to not overlap with each other's releases, comparisions made between the two studio/group and one end up being favored)
Click to expand...

It will take less time in theory, because they have the game engine an physics sorted. They hopefully will work on new cars, tracks and a few features that will be missed in GT5 like a livery/decal editor.

But a full WRC game with GT physics would be brilliant!! Of course Kaz would look over things to keep the high product value that we have come to expect form the legend himself and the brilliant PD.
 
I would rather PD not make a separate WRC game but to have the full experience in GT6 can you imagine all racing organizations and leauges to be fully incorporated into GT6

the online experience would be so diverse
 
Does anybody mind telling me why standard cars cant have wheels switched?
Couldn't you buy wheels in GT4?

You could in GT4 yes, but there hasn't been found a reason why that was cut out.
 
Can you even tune standard cars? Wow this game looks to be a huge letdown if you can't....

Of course you can tune standard cars. Engine parts really have nothing to do with the physical car, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to tune the standard cars. Heck you can even paint them.
 
NEWS FLASH.

The following is an old video but it could answer one of the main questions we had. Track count. The so called official track is more than likely a tease. While waiting for GT5 I have been watching old videos and rewatched this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB1tj64fvb0. Fast forward to around 8:25. I have been saying all along that PD/Sony are hiding alot from us. Which makes perfect sense. Why reveal the whole game before its out. I think we are in for a big surprise. I think the leaked videos, official track list, and car list barely scratched the surface. I am sure most of the car list is in place though.

Kazunori has said, repeatedly, that he wants GT to be "an encyclopaedia of cars". Encyclopaedias cover all variations.
Click to expand...


True. But, as I'm sure you would agree, under that perspective there are quite some encyclopaedical entries missing that are, by the history/relevance, which are, at minimum, odd... And I'm not refering to that (*cough* Porsche *cough*) we immediately think of because, as it is known, that's a matter of licensing and exclusivity issues. But others, *cough* Ferrari *cough* (for example), which is licensed, and some of its most relevant cars, to be missing from the encyclopedia is quite hard to get.:irked:

I agree with you on one thing though. It is to be proved yet that those cars where left out because of the inclusion of the god-knows-how-many Skylines or S2000's versions.

Most likely due to the rims being essentially "premium" modeled. Therefore, they can only be attached to "premium" cars.

It would look odd to have incredibly detailed rims on a standard car.

Nevertheless, this issue was one of the biggest disappointments for me this year, regarding GT5.

It seems personalizing the standard cars (besides tuning) just isn't going to be possible.

I wish they would release a "standard rim set" as DLC, at least.




;)
 
I biggest letdown so far in my opinion, is that you can compete against Standard cars with Premium cars. Other than that It'll be awesome in my opinion.
