It wasn't necessarily directed at you.
But taking you say you have played past GT games, Wouldn't it be the normal deal to play without cockpit view? It would be a standard, regular experience that we should all be used to by now. The fact that PD has given a cockpit view for a (Unconfirmed) 200 cars is very sufficient and generous. I used to think that PD was only going to place the super cars as "premium", but after E3 showed us a camaro, and Prologues cars were all "Premium", that must mean that a small portion could have lower end cars to start off with. (I could be wrong). 200 cars is alot of vehicles. That's 4 times prologues, Thats 4 times pretty much every need for speed/midnight club arcade racer out there. Thats value already.
Those other 800 cars would just be GT4 cars on a PS3, In HD... Lets see, Ive played GT4 and I loved it. What could possibly be wrong? Nothing, Taking in account that It will be under a new lighting engine, It will be in HD, and I can expirience them on a PS3- On another (New) game, ( So I don't have to take my PS2 out of the closet and start up a game Ive already played a hundred and seven times).
Thing is, I really enjoyed GT4 or any other GT-title without cockpit view but after they introduced this new gameplay feature in Prologue I can't really see myself going back to another viewpoint ( it was a quantum leap IMO ).
Previously PD sometimes promised new features which eventually didn't make the cut, they never to my knowledge excluded a significant newly introduced feature people already actually experienced and grown to love and perhaps naïvely took for granted as a permanent new feature for every future GT ( Prologue ).
If you can be content by seeing GT5 as partly an upgraded retro-experience which conveniently rules out plugging in a previous console then fine.
I was just expecting more than that from PD which I regard as the best from previous GT-titles.
Before E3 it was percieved logical on this site to expect cockpit view on all cars and Premium only referring to the extend of damage implication or perhaps slightly better graphics.
Now all of a sudden this becomes uncertain and those who to me are logically disappointed by this "news" are called whiners, ungrateful ( whatever that implies, I've bought all their games ) or expecting the impossible.
I've never fully understood the term fanboy ( not meaning you btw ) until now, since the threads sprouting on this forum defending anything PD does seemingly created as a counterbalance to those questioning the path a game they care for seems to go borders on the pathetic.
Which brings me to a more general question regarding this issue, does anyone here know how long it took PD to model those 70 Prologue cars?
If they are Standard it might shed some light on this ( or, as usual, it might add more confusion ).

i was hurting so bad when GT5P hit us last, and i mean dead last. at least they get it in the same month.
