What do you think about the addition of Lamborghini to Gran Turismo 5?

[Lain]

Gran Turismo doesn't need any specific manufacturer to be present.

...That being said, the addition of Lamborghini is certainly a good one.

 

[Exorcet]

Gran Turismo doesn't need any specific manufacturer to be present.

Except Dodge, I couldn't imagine a GT with no Viper lol

Lamborghini is a good brand to include, it's popular, so I can use it to test GT's physics against reality, and the SuperVeloce will definitely have a spot in my garage.

 

[Pierced Lead]

Lamborghini was the main reason why I first disliked GT, although now I live it for other reasons besides it, this addition definitely makes me happy.

 

[RedBaron]

No, it's just 1 brand. Lamborghinis aren't that important, I can do without them. I don't mind them in the series though, in fact, it's good news. I have mixed thoughts, I won't vote. Lamborghinis are boring now, they have had the same designs for years now. None of the 2 cars on the market have had any visual upgrades in their lifetimes.

Not true. Both cars undergone noticeable facelift. And they are really far from boring.

... both of them actually have...

gallardo has had 1 major facelift and the murcielago has had 2...

 

[rsh]

It is always nice to have an extra manufacturor in the game.

I hope Donkervoort will be included aswell.
Lamborghini with the Miura is exiting. The new Lambo' s are fine with me. But a GT-R Murcielago would be brilliant

 

[RedBaron]

I think

original Miura + final SV version
first clean Countach + last spoiler monster with upgraded power
original Diablo + last Diablo version under Audi
original Murcielago + final version LP670
original gallardo + final LP560 version
+ LM002 monster terrain vehicle

That would be enough for GT. I can't wait to see the boxy Countach interior in cockpit view and to meet F430 with my white Gallardo at Nürburgring!

I'm def. happy about it, this news actually is the reason I will buy a PS3 and GT5 as opposed to Forza 3 and 360.

Hmmm.... I own both a PS3 and a 360 and will be getting both GT 5 and Forza 3.

I think there are PLENTY of good reasons to get a PS3 and GT 5 but your reasoning strikes me as odd.

Forza 3 will almost definitely have a larger selection of Lamborghinis ( the Reventon is already confirmed ) and Ferraris and then ofcourse Porches aswell where GT 5 will get something like the RUF instead.

What's odd about it? He just decided he wants Lambos in his game and seeing that both GT5 and FM3 have them - he's going for the one he sees as better. Your reasoning with Porsches is whats odd, when a guy talks about Lambos...

Other thing is the Reventon on the screenschot you posted looks more like made of plastic, not the slick matte metal it's really made of.

Well Ferraris and Porches and Lambos all kind of go together. All extremely recognizable brands and all have been lacking in GT up untill now.

Forza 2 had TONS of all of these brands and it's been confirmed that there will be even more of all of these in Forza 3.

I'd love to be wrong, but I fear there may only be a tiny handfull of Ferraris and Lambos in GT 5 as they are new additions to the GT franchise.

Pisses me off that GT 5 couldn't get Porche, with no adequate reason given.

 

[Maggot666PL]

But he was talking about LAMBOS which were missing earlier (you don't convince someone who is just thirsty to eat a sandwich). Period.

Forza 2 had TONS of all of these brands and it's been confirmed that there will be even more of all of these in Forza 3.

So? There will be even bigger improvement (since earlier there were no Ferraris or Lambos in GT4) in GT series.

I'd love to be wrong, but I fear there may only be a tiny handfull of Ferraris and Lambos in GT 5 as they are new additions to the GT franchise.

There will probably be around 300 (1000+ - those 700 from GT4) brand new cars introduced to the franchise. I guess they'll manage to squeeze few Ferraris there.

Pisses me off that GT 5 couldn't get Porche, with no adequate reason given.

I'd like that too, but it's a car sim, not a Bob the Builder game

To Maggot666PL : GawdDamnit, this forum is all weird. I know how to quote you but I don't know how to quote your quotes of my quotes and then respond with quotes LOL

His reasoning still strikes me as odd as it seems like Lamborghinis are really his "thing" seeing as he's will to buy a console and a game just to get them.

If Lamborghinis were really MY thing, GT would not be my first choice. Forza 3 will almost definitely have a larger selection of them. And then ontop of that larger selection they will have Damage modeling in Forza 3 aswell as far more options of customization.

As far as Lamborghinis are concerned Forza 3 is the clear best choice.

I also don't understand your comments about Porche. The only reason given by Polyphony for no Porche is an "exclusivity contract" but I see Porches in TONS of other racing games. Sounds like an "Exclusively not on Gran Turismo contract"

 

[Maggot666PL]

Good point about the quotes, haven't figured it out either

About the Lambo-reasoning. Seeing as someone is registered on GTP and makes a comment about being happy that Lamborghini is now making it's way to the GT franchise I deduct that the person was probably interested/played GT before, thought about buying a game of this type. Probably at the sime he is a "lambo guy" and the fact that there were no Santa Agatha cars in GT before was a major downer. So now he's clear to with GT and don't have to go with Forza.

The other possible case is the one you've presented (Lambos are the ONLY thing that matters), and he is yet to make his mind about his console of the choice - this way this comment:

If Lamborghinis were really MY thing, GT would not be my first choice. Forza 3 will almost definitely have a larger selection of them. And then ontop of that larger selection they will have Damage modeling in Forza 3 aswell as far more options of customization.

Is invalid (also you're making a non-subjective unsourced statement in the end). Why? Because you're implying that Forza will have more Lamborgini models without even having a glimpse of yet to be revealed car list of BOTH games. Also you're suggesting that a Lambo lover would like to see his beloved supercar damaged (and if the way the damage in FM3 is rendered will be similar to the solution in FM2, it'll be downward fugly!). Another thing is that we all suspect no damage for regular road cars in GT5, but we DON'T KNOW IT for sure.

I also don't understand your comments about Porche.

I don't want to see Porches in GT5. I'd like to see Porsches though . But it's not the topic here.

Oh I already stated that it's MO that there will be more Lambo's in Forza 3. I'm a betting man and that's where my money is. How many Lambos have been CONFIRMED for GT 5 thus far? Is it none? And a Lambo lover would have the CHOICE of damage rather than no choice at all.

More Lambos, All with Damage modeling and all with a lot more customization options. I don't see how GT can compete is this specific area.

And yeah, yeah we DO know that it's only the Race cars that will feature Damage.

Oh man ,you've been presuming wrong for so long !

First :eventhough it was the first time Ferrari appeared in Gran Turismo we already had 6 of them in prologue :

-599 GTB Fiorano
-F430
-California (unveiled exclusively via a polyphony teaser)
-F40
-512 BB
-F60(exclusive to Gran Turismo and they don't even have the F1 license)

Polyphony's partnership with Ferrari is closer that any race video game makers(Turn10 included) ,Kaz even had the chance to test drive the Scuderia on the official Fiorano test track !
And do expect to see the F458 Italia as a regular GT5 car not a dlc as in Forza 3

So if you assume that there's gonna be more Ferrari in Forza 3 than GT5 then you're thinking so wrong boy .

When it comes to Lamborghini ,we have been knowing of its inclusion in the serie for a month only ,how can you pretend Forza is going to have more of them out of 400 cars than GT out of 1000 ?

That's 6 compared to 20+

And I've already said that it's my opinion. We won't know for sure untill both games are released ( and I buy them both ).

And I completely disagree with your opinion that Polyphony's relationship with Ferrari is "closer than anyone else." Kind of hard not to notice that it wasn't untill their FIFTH game that they were able to get permission to use them.

And instead of talking about hypothetical car lists let's talk about facts. The Ferrari's that are included in GT 5 WON'T all have Damage modeling and based on available info also won't have nearly as many options when it comes to customization.

So right there, I don't see how GT 5 can compete in this specific area.

Weren't we talking about Lambos? I guess the same argument can be applied to both.... not Porsche however.

6 in the prologue which doesn't even have 10% of Gran Turismo 5 cars count

Plus you're the first one talking about damages and Ferrari in a Lamborghini inclusion thread,so this isn't a "fact" in that particular case : that's a completely irrelevant point 👍

Polyphony Digital's relationship really IS closer that those of any other race video game makers ,that is a FACT !

It wasn't a matter of permission but of money ,but now it justs seems that Ferrari seems to consider PD even more that Polyphony does toward Ferrari !

So far I've never seen Ferrari asking Turn10,Simbin or anyone else to realise an official teaser for the upcoming model on their website let alone giving them the rights to include a Ferrari F1 car without the Formula One licence

A Ferrari's Official even said that the 599 that Polyphony modelised is the best rendered Ferrari he has ever seen !

[dazdilly75]

Personally this is epic news for me...I'm sure that the GT development team will do the car the justice it deserves. I trust them to make my driving experience in one of the most famous marques in automotive history a realistic and thrilling experience. I mean come on who hasn't wanted to drive a Lambo in on GT? YK's vision has always been to make GT a virtual library of cars from the old to the new and even Concept and in my eys he is making the right steps to achieve this dream.... I share it big time.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

I just want to have an epic battle with a ZR1 vs. 670-4 SV. Just like the Road & Track video.

I'm neutral- never been a huge fan of Lamborghini cars. But other people want them- so bring them on

 

[reaperman]

spiffy news
now wake me up when porsche, saab and the rest will be included

-> Before this thread veer's off topic; I didn't vote.

^ Why? Due to my values, the more cars the better no matter what manufacturer it is.

 

[84SSccc]

Don't care much for Lamborghini or Ferrari but it will be nice to have them in the game for people who are fans of the brand. I just hope we get some old Daytonas, Dinos, Jalpas, and Miuras

 

[torontoml]

I really like the fact that they are going to be in it, but they have to get the sounds right or it'll be a big disappointment, the sound of a Lamborghini is one of the big reasons I like them so much.
