lol After you really see all the detail of each car, you then start understanding why there are only 200+ premium cars which is an accomplishment even of of itself.
These screenshots really do represent an artist at heart and someone who has dedicated his whole life to the automobile.
I salute you Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital!! Oh, and tranlator-san!! Can't forget him!
I dont know how we are going to find the time to race, we are all going to be too busy looking at stuff, tracks, cars.........the level of detail is staggering. The standard cars will look staggering to,imo, if this is how good the premium cars look,standard will be pretty awesome too!

The driver in the first shot is evidence of what could be a driver avatar feature, something I made a thread about months ago. The other to shots just show how much effort PD puts into recreating a real place in their games.
Tried searching for it but did not find it, what was the details on that?
The reason I ask is because when I read what you said (above) what came into my mind is that you take a picture of you'r face and the game puts it onto the driver.
I noticed a difference between the in-game and the photomode model of the Jaguar XJ-13. Of course the in-game models would sport less detail to keep up graphical performance, and zooming in on an in-game-shot up to this level is somewhat unfair. Still, I thought this might be interesting to see just to know the difference. This not meant as criticism of the graphics.
Some of these pics are amazing but i'm assuming there is a difference in the level of external car detail between standard and premium cars, not just the fact that premium cars also have interiors? If that is the case then I wonder if there will be a limit as to how close you can zoom into the standard models and super close shots are only allowed on the premium cars?

Anyway, what I mean is, you can create your own driver (like in F1 championship edition). Only in GT5, you can make them where non-racing uniforms, like a tux and sunglasses. (other evidence of this is seen in the Toyota FT-86 Trailer, and Ferrari California Trailer)

That's what Yamauchi meant with "better suited for the next console generation". The PS3 cannot handle the high-lod models in-game. Nothing to complain about though, the normal car models still look better than in any other racing game.
Same as GT4, the Garage and Photo Travel(not photomode which just snapped from replays) models were much nicer than the replay\gameplay models, most noticeable was the rims, 2D vs 3D for the Garage\Photo Travel.
Fair compromise though , most play in cockpit view(when available or bumper\hood) so you would only see that detail in replays or chase , which is too distant to notice that.
At least we can access that level of detail in Photo Travel GT5, I only hope they have a cockpit\engine explorer in garage and photomode. To really take advantage of the incredible detail.
