I Love these biiiiip answers.


"All Premium"

Think before you Talk !

1 Premium Car has a Development time of 3-6months. You say "all Premium " , then your mathematics is not Good.

Back To Topic:

PD should make some Standard Cars into Premium (like they do now) and the Rest of these cars should stay in the Game. Its a very Bad idea to put these cars Out of the Game Because its your decision if you want to Drive a standard Car or not!
 
Option 5: turn most of them into "half-premiums" that have no interior but have an acceptable looking outer body.
 
Kaz him self said that the standard cars will be in higher quality, but getting rid off 1.000.000 versions of the same car, is what i'd like to see. They are pointless.
 
I would convert as many as possible to premium and keep the rest, besides the duplicates that are wrong. Like the Nissan 180sx is the only correct name for the car they also label as a 200sx and 240sx. The 200sx and 240sx never came with that engine or styling parts, so they would be deleted.

Edit: I didn't vote as that option isn't there, the poll seems biased towards getting rid of standards.

I really don't mind, I actually prefer that they keep the standards if they don't have time to convert them to premiums. I really don't look at the graphics, I prefer that they spend time on the actual gameplay and the sounds which is what really matters to me rather than spend time on every little stitching on the dash of every car. It's not like I ever use the interior view, anyway.
 
For me, I would have the standards kept around while some of them are premiumized. Some other standards could become semi-premium (Decent detailed 3d bodies with no high quality interior) and the less important standard cars (duplicates) would be left as standards.
 
If they put 300 or 400 std to premium okay included all rally cars and all race cars
the rest they could trash them all out
 
I think it would be fine to just leave them as they are for GT6, since KAz said that they increased the detail of the standards to allow them to apply the aero parts that the premiums apply as well as being allowed in photo mode, So I'm going with the idea that they somehow upped the textures and possibly the polygon count to get them looking much better than they did in GT5.
This is fine with me as long as they do not omit cars, people complain too much about standard cars, you do not have to drive them at all. People complain they are required to complete the game, not sure if that is true but I doubt that is the case. There are just too many cars that are in NO other game anywhere, I prefer them to stay in GT for as long as possible. Kaz can leave that transferring of standard to premium alone, forget wasting time with it on GT6. Save all that for GT7 and just add cars we do not have to GT6 for DLC, it's wasted effort to put in cars you already have available. Too many visual hungry folks, 90% visual and not even enjoying the actual driving. Only recently we got in cockpit view and people are some how so used to it they cannot drive any other way, which I find to be a bit of embellishment on anyone's part(it's barely adjustable and the look spring is terrible).
Leave every standard in GT6, I love every car in the game even the one it hate to drive...it's history and we don't need to start getting rid of things just because a small few complain about visual fidelity when most races tend to stick all premiums in races and rarely mix them only in extreme cases like really low end cars or really high end cars.
I would vote but Quantity of Quality is a bit like saying I love you while hold a knife behind your neck as I hug you.
It's still quality as physics, aero, tire dynamics all work on all the cars be it standard or premium. Although I do wish they would remove cars that are basically the same thing except with a different paint job, but cars that are different trims should be logged within the year of that same car and just have options of choosing that other trim. I think that PD doesn't separate trims as just options but as whole cars, which is weird but I guess it's their system...but I wish that they would streamline it so you can just pick model, year then trim. I can't express my excitement for GT6, no longer do I have to wonder how much better a car would handle with full aero added, soon it will be a reality and my entire GT5 garage gets to come to the party, why would I want to part with that?

That actually is true, I can't remember for sure how many events but definitely needed the FGT to run the FGT race and that is a standard car. I think all the trucks are standard too but I could be wrong on that one.

Of course that didn't bother me my only issue was actually getting the FGT to run in the race since you had to be a certain level and it cost close to 5 mil when it showed up in the UCD I could not buy it and then when I needed it it wasn't there. My brother got one and lent it to me to run the race and then I managed to buy one. Eventually they came up with the OCD so it was no longer an issue to get the FGT or the truck.

While I disagreed with most of this post, this part stuck out more. They absolutely need to pick standards that are special history wise and recreate them as premiums. For me and many others, updating a standard car is adding a new car. I can't stand the standards because I drive exclusively in cockpit, even though it was poorly implemented, I felt it added immersion. I can't even enjoy driving standards because they feel...underwhelming. For me, the standards don't really feel like unique cars, they feel like driving a screen with different characteristics then the other screens. I've read somewhere that the standards weren't modeled to the same level as the premiums in the way of physics as well, which is another reason cars need to be updated as quickly as possible!

Correct. FGT, trucks, Lupo Cup.

It was a non-trivial problem at release, before the OCD. It stopped you continuing the game until you'd cycled the UCD dozens of times. Might as well have put a mini-game, "mash buttons now to annoy player".

Even with the OCD, it's still daft that you have to use these cars. Three more cars they could have modelled, and those of us that don't like standards could have stayed well away.
 
Any sub-Standard that isn't upgraded to standard (Premium) needs to go. Note that "Premium" isn't "cars with cockpits."
 
I selected option #3 (Select some of them (like 70-100) to be made premium, and trash the rest). But this is because I'm more of a quality over quantity type of guy. Why spend hours or even days waiting for your favourite rare classic(s) (ie: Jaguar XJ220) to appear in the used car lot when you can just have all of the Jags together in the dealership? 1200+ cars is just too much IMO; I'd much prefer to have 600 premiums.

So ditch my favorite car so you have a better chance of getting your favorite car sooner? Got it.

You're assuming that your favourite car would not be among these 600 (hypothetical) premium cars. If your favourite car happens to be a good one, like the Bugatti Veyron, then you need not worry, for it shall receive the premium treatment in due time. But if it doesn't and it gets excluded from future GT installments, oh well. :(

Ditch them all but remodel the key important ones, imo they should try to model 1 Premium car from each manufacturer at the very least. 500 different premium cars is a far better thing to boast about than 1200 cars, over half of which are old and terrible quality.

I am referring to GT6 and not GT5. Hence I said not sure about you being required to drive any standard cars to complete the game.
 
I'm still waiting if My favorites will be premiumed if yes then my Standards use will be down to a min

Your idea of a good car, 'bugatti veyron', is the problem. I don't share your taste for high dollar "exclusive" cars.

I like normal cars.

If people like you get your way, the franchise will be ruined. Period.

I would not care if the Veyron was removed aside from all the whining that would happen over it. It is not what i would call a good car it is just a very powerful, very expensive, ugly straight line brick.

Hard to say what car would be my favorite among the standards as there are so many good ones. The one thing I can say for sure is if they ditched all but 70-100 then most likely I would loose at least 20 or more of my favorites and a few hundred that I like.
 
*Sigh*, it appears that I'm a getting a bit of flack for mentioning the Bugatti Veyron in an earlier post, on this page. To be perfectly honest, it's not even my favourite car (that would be the Nissan GTR). I mentioned it only as an example of a car that --in my opinion-- is not "expendable" and will more than likely become premium in GT6, or what have you. Are we cool? :)
 
There are a lot who seem to like the Veyron, I guess they like that top speed and like to race where there are no corners which is fine if that is what you are into.

If we were to make only 70-100 of the current standards into premiums and ditch the rest then I would want the Veyron in the group that gets ditched in favor of another car to be made premium. Of course the proper solution is the one they have choosen and that is not to ditch any of them.

A few of my favorite cars in GT4/5 CLK GTR, all of the DTM cars, the Amuse S2000 R1, the series 1 Shelby, 67 Cougar, most of the JGTC cars just to name a few. The list would grow past 400 before I got to the Veyron
 
lol Well I don't know about you Ills1999, but I'd rather race down the main straight @ Le Mans in a Veyron than in a 1989 Eagle Premier.

Exactly, you don't see the value in normal cars. A person can buy ANY console racing game in order to drive race cars and exotics. GT has ALWAYS been a 'driving', not 'racing' simulator. The types of cars you'd like to see gone are the types of cars which make the GT series unique.

We'd be cool if you'd stop telling PD they 'need' to get rid of cars I like.
