Why no FPV?

[salad351]

i am curious to why GT5 doesnt contain the FPV Gt and the FPV F6? GT4 and GTPSP contain these cars? WHY!!

 

[diegorborges]

Good question! I love my FPVs on GTPSP. Really sad

 

[Jay]

Pretty sure it would be a licensing issue.

 

[Schwartz]

I don't recall seeing it in GTPSP. Can you post a picture?

 

[stormbringer]

theres the ford falcon XR8 in the game.

 

[Gejabo]

What is FPV ??

 

[C-ZETA]

What is FPV ??

Ford Performance Vehicles. Basically, an Aussie Ford tuner. For more info, try GT4.

But it is weird. I thought they might have just gone bust or something but no...

You are not alone mate.

It shocked me when I first got the game and clicked Import GTPSP garage only to find that the F6 & GT "are not featured in GT5"

 

[dxm8975]

Absolutely they are neither licensed for authorization of in-game feature I guess...

 

[JBanton]

I want the old FPVs and some new ones, I'm depressed that they're not in GT5 .

 

[salad351]

its a shame because i loved to thrash my envy green F6 around trial mountain

looks like its time to set up the PS2 again!!

I took one around Infineon the other day in GT4, good times. Makes me wish they were in GT5..

I guess its a licensing issue and also perhaps PD would let the f6 have over 1000hp tuned like in real life? Or it could be that FPV didn't want the f6 to easily outshine their flagship GT v8. I'd say they probably made an exclusive deal with another game developer.

 

[JBanton]

Had to do it

^^^ I love that orange one! 👍

Was also surprised the Hyundai Accent Rally car is missing from the GT5 car list.



Seeing as there's multiple Hyundais in GT5 it struck me as incredibly odd.

But i do miss having the FPV Typhoon... would really make me want an aussie car

I like the blue one myself. 👍

 

[velly]

I have posted it a few times on this site, it is NOT a licensing issue.
PD have the data for the FG Falcon...there was a password issue with the data hence why it missed the release for GT5
This has been fixed, i am sure it will be see it as DLC at some point.

 

[ucwepn]

now thats something i would definitely buy

 

[salad351]

Ohhh yes!! 👍

 

[convict01]

My biggest DLC wish. I would pay $20 just for that car.

yess please!!! :d

This is a bit off-topic, but I was fairly disappointed that Holden's equivalents weren't included in GT5;

Look at the exhaust tips on the red R8 307,
I actually would pay £5 just for the new FPV's and Holdens as DLC.

I'm right there with ya. I have one of the Aussie built cars and was anxiously awaiting GT5 to include either my car or its brothers from Oz. I would pay good money to have my car in this game: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT (Holden Commodore SS)

I just imagined it with some black RAYS CE28 rims ...

 

[Rockspeny]

Jolly good!! I would have been very surprised if there had been a licensing change since GT4, look forward to DLC premium versions of the two FPV's soon, as you all say, they were great fun in GT4. I could get the Commodore to go faster though...

[JBanton]

Really?

 

[Jay]

Really?

He is obviously a Ford man.

I still play GT4 occasionally. Just so i can drive my FPV F6 around MidField. Ahhhh, good times with Aussie cars.
