Perfect car models in GT5P? Sorry but no..

[Bigaddygun]

I have been doing some research on the F40 and noticed that the car is either modelled wrong or it's model information is incorrect.

The F40 in GT5P is a "92 model. Source; 'Pre-release thread'.

Here is two images of real life F40's model "92

And then here is two images of the in-game F40 model "92

As you can see both real life F40's model "92 have glass side windows and very pronounced rubber tip to the front bumper. However the in-game images of the F40 model "92 have plastic windows and a not so pronounced rubber tip bumper. This may be a modelling error but if you look at this image of a real life F40 model "89:

It shows the same windows and same bumper as the in-game F40 model "92. This makes me think that PD have confused themselves and have written down the wrong model number for F40. Hopefully these kind of errors can be fixed in GT5; thats if they pick up on it.

notice gt5p is a demo

My pet hate is people calling Prologue a "Demo"!! Its NOT a Demo!

The definition of "Prologue" is....

# an introduction to a play
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

# Prologue (Greek πρόλογος prologos, from προ~, pro~ - fore~, and lógos, word), or prolog, is a prefatory piece of writing, usually composed to introduce a drama. ...

# Prologue is an album by Elton John, featuring recordings made in the 1960s. It features four Linda Peters songs.

# the opening action of a Greek play; it usually is a dialogue between two or three characters and establishes the problem of the play. It now refers to an opening section of a play that is not part of the first scene or act.

# Introductory speech delivered to the audience by one of the actors or actresses before a play begins.

# a collection of brief lives of saints and homilies for every day of the calendar year. It includes the Synaxarion (brief lives of the saints of the day to be read after the sixth ode at matins) as well as other supplementary material.

# Primarily, an introduction. Most often associated with drama (a speaker comes on before the play to get the audience up to date on events within which the action of the play is enmeshed). In The Thousand and One Nights, we begin with a prologue which is also the expalnation of the frame narrative.
www.laits.utexas.edu/doherty/glossary.html

So as you can see from all of those above definitions, "Prologue" primarily means Introduction! NOT Demo!

has anyone noticed when you change gear in the F40 the drivers right hand goes through the steering wheel?

In fact that happens at all cars in the game, except those who have gear shifting in steering wheel (like F430, GT-R and so on).

Check out your Integra, is the same thing.

And the driver always puts the hand down to the lever a moment before the engine reach the red line, which in fact helps a little when playing manual gearing.

Well, I'm going to return my copy now. The dream is over...

lol thats funny

 

[Flerbizky]

Well, I'm going to return my copy now. The dream is over...

Wait - Hang on.. I'm coming with you. The fact that the clock in the radio in the Viper stays at 10.37 through an entire race - It's just so wrong and basically makes the game unusable.. :-|

These are photos of US spec F40's with Federal Spec bumpers.

You are right about the windows (and other interior trim differences that have already been pointed out in another thread) The '92 F40 had full glass side windows, where as the F40 in GT5 is modelled on a pre '90 version with the perspex windows with sliders.

Sorry about that Cracker. As you said the F40 model number needs to be change aleast to make the model accurate.

It only matters to those of us pedantic enough to be bothered by it

I'm just glad it's here at all!

 

[The-BNA]

i was being sarcastic...

Wasn't that obvious

 

[GordonS]

"..Cars included in this game may be different from the actual cars in shapes, colors and performance..." (from the beginning of the game)
They (PD) actually never claim to be perfect..
..they are the best.

 

[Kryz11]

News flash! You don't have any interesting cars in the US OF A.
!

👍

Agree, In US, all we have is the Vette, Stang, Viper, Ford GT, but these are not even SUPER CARS! Only super car we have, that I know of is the Saleen. As well we have that Shelby record barker car that beats down the Bugatti, but forgot the name of it.

 

[Patrik]

The colours could entirely depend on your TV setup.

But I do agree with the overall shape of the R34 being a little off, but it's pretty darn close.

exactly it's a big improvement from GT4 where it was way of!

So I see PuTTe_TuTTe is complain, and CREATED a useless Thread since he did not even responded to any of us in here.. what a waste of space.

Well.. I'm not sitting by the computer 24/7 as you seem to. And I've not said the game is useless because of this! But it don't have PERFECT car models, and why not mention this? I mean do you rather want a car that looks a bit off than a car that looks spot on real life???

I love Gran Turismo and have played these games ever since the first one came out! I'm not complaining.. I'm just saying this because some other guy in another thread said "finally we have perfect car models in a racing game" (or something like that).

Then why wouldn't you post your observations in that thread?

 

[Patrik]

because is was off topic maybe?

 

[the Interceptor]

Then send him a PM.

 

[Patrik]

Then send him a PM.

Ok my dear father.

 

[Encyclopedia]

I've been looking at pictures of the R34 and I can't say I notice it.

 

[VA10]

if were nit picking then the Aston's wheel is too light it needs to be made heavier

 

[Omologato]

If PD had made the claim that their car models were perfect, then I could see this validating your point. However, they never did claim that, so to fault them for small, petty things seems a bit off.

you are either blind, or you can't read..

 

[Nickxke]

👍

GT5 must be a brilliant game as these small things are whole 'topics' lol

amen to that

 

[thedeester1]

You should have played GT1. Many years ago we thought it was the dogs lickables! Whats always been the thing with GT is its the most realistic drive. Ok the prologue doesnt have the settings that a TRUE version has. Ive played many consol racing games but GT is the only one I will buy a consol for. New PS3 and GT5...

 

[Omologato]

you are either blind, or you can't read..

Regardless of how I interpreted your little soap box session there was no need for a separate thread to criticize someone's assessment of the graphics.

 

[Obli]

Come on - they're never going to be absolutely precise.

The only thing I notice was the circular pods on the dashboard of the F40 are not quite in the right position. I saw this when someone posted the F40 vs F40 video.

But, really, what do people expect. Try modelling a car yourself to appreciate the difficulty!
