I really don't give a **** about interior mode or some graphical differences. It's all about how it performs.

Amen...preach it brother!
 
For something like a FGT, Minolta 88C-V or the Escudo Dirt Trial, I would definably give more than than that.
 
I wouldn't want to miss out on buying cars such as the Sauber Mercedes C9, Nissan R92CP, 905, XJR-9 and the almighty Corsa Comfort. :dopey:

Actually I was saying noone in their right minds would use photomode, cockpit is IMO a bad view. You can do whatever you please, but I detest it, so to answer the original question: Yes, I would pay that money for standards.

EDIT: I also hate that standard vs premium always degenerate into cockpit view users VS the bumper cam using master race.

By that definition im insane, and should be admitted to a mental asylum, because i use photomode way to often(even if the car is standard).
 
Yes, the standards are worth the money.
 
In answer to the thread, i would pay over a million for a standard, the Premiums are always there, so if i see a standard that i want i tend to buy it, might not see it again for months.
 
I paid over 1,4 million for a standard Mazda Furai '08. Also, race cars like Denso Sard Supra, Castrol Tom's Supra, Mobil 1 NSX and others are easily worth the 1 million cr.
 
I would have payd 20 m for the right standar car.

Hard to be a master race when your kind rarely wins.

He would have payed 20million for the right standard car.
ie, if there was a car worth 20million that happened to be standard, he'd buy it he wanted the car without worrying about if it was standard.
 
The Pagani Zonda LM and it's supreme handling and power is easily worth more then it's price of 1 million. It's better then the 3.6 million Ford GT LM Race Car.
 
Even without having the ability to make 20mil every 24 hours, if there was a standard car I wanted I would get it no matter what the cost.
 
Fgt 2d and 2j are awesome cars. I always drive in bumper cam, so I could care less if cars are standard or premium. I drive the wheels off anything!

I think I paid two million for a Dodge Viper GTS-R Team Oreca #91 yesterday.

So yes, I would. One car I want is a Nissan R92CP, currently hunting for it.
 
I honestly can't bring myself to spend over 300,000 credits on a car that was modeled nearly a decade ago. The 'Premium' cars are actually the industry standard, GT5's 'Standards' are last generation cars and shouldn't really be in a 2010 game. They had half a decade to make GT5 and they ended up releasing an unfinished game with 80% of the cars being low detail PS2 cars. As a long time GT fan, PD have disappointed me. PD should have planned GT5 properly and made at least 500 'Premium' cars. If Forza had 80% of it's cars being low detail PS2 models, everyone here would be slamming the game and ripping the **** out of it, but because it's GT, everyone here is acting as if it's perfectly fine and no big deal. The very same people who were criticising Forza 3 for having slightly inaccurate car models, are the same people who are perfectly fine with GT5 having PS2 cars. It's madness.

Sorry about that, but I had to rant. I've been a long time GT fan and GT5 is the overall worst one yet. The physics and 'Premium' cars are excellent but the rest of it is pretty poor. GT5 is more of a GT6:Prologue if I'm being honest. I'm sorry if you disagree but I'm annoyed by the double standards exhibited amongst the community.
 
I agree it's beat that they look bad.

But when you drive them it's all the same.
So go and enjoy them! The jgtc cars are all great both 500 and 300. The fantasy cars are also awesome cars. (camaro, fairlady, nsx) and American lemans cars are beasts. (c5r, oreca vipers, panoz)

So get out and drive!!!
 
So far I paid over 12 mil for standards.

So I'd say yes 12 times.

As far as I know they aren't *only* ported from GT4 or GTPSP (although some look it), I believe they've had a boost to their polygon count, and a bit of a spit and polish (possibly again with one of the updates)

To me, the majority of standards look just fine when racing, and only break down in photomode (and even then some look great). Compare a few very similar cars in Premium and Standard (for example the two Arta NSX, two DB9s etc) perhaps in 2 player split screen and see if there is any real difference. In terms of racing, I think it is only really sticklers for the cockpit view who perhaps lose out, I do think Kaz could have kept to plan A and had some kinda generic looking cockpits.

it's the livery they need to update/smooth, the poly count is pretty decent

You're wrong. GT4 came out in 2005. Then came GT:HD Concept, which was in 2006. Now it's down to 4 years. Then, take in the times for GT5: Prologue and GT:PSP, and you're somewhere within 2-2.5 years.

Case in point: I almost bought a 905 Race Car today.

You don't subtract development time spent on any of those games to come to the time GT5 was in development.
  • GTPSP was a quickie side game, meaning it didn't take long to do and didn't require the entire team to work on it.
  • GT5:P development was GT5 development.
  • To a lesser extent (all of the content made for the game was rolled over into GT5), the same was true for GT:HD.
Not really half a decade, but 3 1/2 years is most likely pretty accurate.
 
Not anymore, Recently ive been buying premiums I now have atleast 7 Suzuki Cappuchinos all with different bodykits and paints and wheels so why waste my money on standard cars when I can buy a car a few times over and make it look how I want it, For example Track cars - Ugly but useful, Show cars - Pretty but slow, RM cars - cool, so theres no need for me to waste money on standards
 
Ofcourse.. Alot of my favourites are standard!

  • lol. GTPSP was announced before the launch of the PSP and has been in development almost 5 years.
 
I think the cockpit view gives you a better "simulation" feel when you drive, it may not give you the best view in order to get the better laptimes or when racing against the AI however. It depends on if you consider GT5 a racing game or a driving simulator I guess.
