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.

How is that a letdown? That's a big plus for me.
 
Anyone have an idea as to when stores will actually start receiving their copies of the game? At Best Buy, we would receive some of the bigger name titles a week in advance sometimes.

Why is that a let down?

NEW 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.

I have a feeling about this too.
I think theres more cars, and more tracks.

Why is this a letdown? Do the Standards not look "as pretty" or something? Aside from damage, the physics should be exactly the same. It's not like the graphics of the standards are going to be pixelated GT4 clones showing up in this game.

Can you even tune standard cars? Wow this game looks to be a huge letdown if you can't....
Click to expand...

Wow you seem to overreact a lot if you are serious. GT4 was awesome and with GT5 we get that plus
- 200 sick looking premium cars
- dynamic weather
- daytime changes
- mechanical/visual damage
- course maker
- go-karts
- full B-Spec mode
- best graphics on consoles at 60fps
- big online mode with racing leagues etc.
- improved professional driving physics
and much more little things like unlockable "items" (horns, paint, parts, etc.), custom soundtracks, Youtube-uploads, etc. etc.

This drama that started since the new release date was announced is beyond ridiculousity IMO.
A "huge" letdown would be a missing A-Spec mode for me, but nothing as trivial as some things that are being critizied in here.

Because I've always thought the Standard cars look like crap, ever since I first saw them right after E3 this year. I personally think it looks odd to mix the two kinds in races, and I'd be glad if they never included them in the first place. That's just me, I know.

I've definitely forgotten this. I really hope the more than 70 courses is accuratly translated, because we're gonna be very happy in that case. :)

Famine, although quite reserved about it last Friday, gave the impression he was (not joyfully) surprise with the track count. Also, his long time interpretation of the location/variation/track thing (typical japanese to turn things quite complicated) had always point out to a higher number of tracks (unique) than the ones announced.

How it is turning out to be? Kazunori-Yamauchi-only-knows...

I do keep a slightest faith inside me that Famine might know a little bit more than he is saying at the moment but, things at the moment now seem to indicate that also he was probably mislead by that variation/location/course thing-o-mess... :ouch:

(but I wish I'm completely wrong. Oh how I wish...)

I haven't commented specifically, but you're not far off the mark.

Having driven on at least Piazza del Campo, only for it not to be in GT5... confuses me.
 
Delphic Reason
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.

You can also paint the standards, so that should help a bit with personalization

Call me slow but I don't get a GT reference :confused:

It's not in the hole, but in the words. GT5 is big on electric cars and driving skills. Besides, GT5 launch is mere days away, so it is about time KB shows his Man Furismo Jive project. ;)

PD are probably working on a standard wheel set right now, i'm getting word that it will be out in 6 years :sly: In all seriousness why didn't Kaz just give us the wheel set from GT4? 💡

Can you please specify what made you think they're hiding stuff?
In that video they show some tracks in the demo and the only track not included in the game is Piazza del Campo (which I don't think will be missed if left out, and it might be a go-kart learning track).
About the 70 tracks Kazunori talked about, I think there might have been translation issues there, because if you count the tracks, there are around 27, 28 locations and around 78-80 track layouts.

Wasn't that removed because of some locals being pissed about some copyright thing though?
 
I'm hoping the upcoming Academy Includes a track not on the list. After all they did say there will be free content.

Flags were removed, not the entire track.

Does anybody mind telling me why standard cars cant have wheels switched?
Couldn't you buy wheels in GT4?

It´s strange, but maybe it´s because premium rims have more detail and polys than the standard cars.

I guess the standard graphical part is not compatible with the premium one, thus, they chose that.

Still strange, because they could have ported over the old wheel shop from GT4 to have a "Standard Wheel Shop".

If i could choose, i would like standard Race mods for those cars, instead of different rims. I thought race modding would be present on the old models because standard models are less power consuming than the premium ones.

You can tune the STD cars because what it changes is just a spec, nothing visual.

As for the track drama, nobody knows, i´m betting on Sony holding some content to have DLC ready.

There's obviously not going to be 70 actual tracks or "locations", it won't be anywhere near that. If they have hidden anything there could be another 5 more tracks or so plus their variations.

Anyone expecting there to be double the number of locations that are on the list issued is going to be very disappointed. Even taking it as given that there will certainly be any more tracks than have been mentioned seems like a recipe for potential disappointment. It would be nice but it's by no means the "certainty" that a lot of people seem to paint it as.
 
Spa seemed to be all but confirmed for GT5, and according to one of Jordan's sources the last GT academy was either going to be Indi or Spa. That turned out to be Indi in the end unfortunately.

So there is a tiny bit of hope for Spa for the US competition. (Although I would of thought it would of been the other way around considering location)

It sounds to me like you don't really enjoy racing.
 
I saw the video.
If Piazza del campo won't be in the game it won't be a shame. Have you look the trail? It's nothing more than a circle.

I'm sad about Twin Motegi and El capitan.

I don't want to believe to a surprise because there's already plenty of tracks and believe is the best way to be disappointed (tunning fans can you hear me? :sly: ).

But if there's a Spa Francorchamp........ :dunce::dunce:

Dude I just checked youtube for some vids of gameplay of those 4 games and all I have to say is WOW! I wonder if I am allowed to post some of the epic videos I just seen of them. Why dont those who interview Kaz ask about these PURE RACING SIMULATIONS why dont.......... nevermind im not going to say that because people on here would think im trolling and im not a troll.

but 2 thumbs up from me for refererring me to them
