Why don't we get the rocky arch or the grass in front of the stone arch. The first you see in the background sometimes, oh and that road from the gt5 lined with trees. Why aren't these photomode-rs? Any reasons as they have all been modelled and can be seen from multiple angles?

I don't follow
 
He's talking about the locations that you see just after the game loads, the one's PD shows your cars at before you enter GT Mode. It would be nice to be able to select them in photomode
 
I'm not sure why they haven't been included but I would sure love to use the wind tunnel as a phototravel location. :D
It could possibly be that, although they look finished, PD still needed to add some little things in there to make it up to their standard.
Another possibility could have been that they were going to release it as DLC but for some reason haven't bothered.
 
I think even if these scenes looks like photomode scenes, they don't really are. I mean PD only modeled what needed for the waiting screen but not all environment as photomode location (background from all angles, placements possibilities, etc.).
I'd really enjoy some of the GT5 Prologue ([edit]GT4) photomode scene in GT5.

Yeah, I know they may not be all there, but quite often, especially the rocky arch, the camera does get moved all over the place. They could have bothered and had the time instead of making that opening credits manufacturing video etc etc. I finally, as I had never bothered with the event, unlocked the Japanese car park and was then thoroughly disappointed when I couldn't properly park my car in between the others. But that's another story.

But the tree lined road would be great as it should allow moving cars(speed set by us) on that mode so we could have an even wider range of options. Same for the wind tunnel, which I forgot about. Or allow us to take images in the padlock garages you always see your car in in both GT5's. If this was a EA game I wouldn't be asking, as I know it would be DLC even though it's in the game already from launch....
 
For people who are unsure, these are what I'm talking about. Sorry about the size but I only copied url's:

Stone arch:

Or just allowing us a white photobooth (like when we buy the cars) and possibility of allowing us to 'arrange' the lights. Ok the last bit is a bit of an extension, but it's still their already coded(effectively) in the game.

Edit: It also appears as I thought that the now Photomodes were once indeed the same 'my page' locations just some didn't get extended and made Photomode.
