A lighthearted look at GT5

[Suzumiya]

Since there is already a thread of this in the GT4 forum, let's give one to GT5! Post odd things that happen in GT5 that do not happen in real life or the most illogical things existing in the game.

Time changes only on 4 locations around the world. The rest stay on a fixed midday or night time.

Clouds that never move, for instance there is one cloud in particular on Nurburgring that looks like that big flying dog from the never ending story. Always catches my eye.

 

[jagenigma]

when your car is fixed in gtauto, the crew wave their arms over the car, chaflie brown style, to fix it

 

[Farrow]

I remember when people thought the damage unlocked at Level 40 LOL.

Ahh, the good old days *Wipes tear from eye*

^^And the red hot tires and plumes of burning rubber by the end of the 1st lap before getting my internet connection & specII came in

That cloud on the run into Schwedenkreuz always bugs me. It just looks so weird and it's so hard not to stare at it.

Probably the clouds that never move. A guy already said that but that's all I can think of.

 

[Suzumiya]

In the world of Gran Turismo, an interior is optional.

I'm pretty sure real people don't drink used oil.

I'm pretty sure real people don't drink used oil.

How do you know there isn't a drain with a retractable hose under a flush cover on the floor that you can't see while it isn't open? If there's another pressurized hose next to it that could explain how the oil gets back into the car from underneath as well.

Makes more sense than drinking it, filtering it through a special genetically engineered organ at the end of an alternate esophagus and then regurgitating the now-cleaned oil back into the crankcase, doesn't it?

 

[blah blah blah]

It's very obvious, but I find it stupid (but somewhat funny) that when painting your car, they just use four huge spray paint things over the car, and nothing happens to the wheels, or the windscreen, or the spoiler... It would have been better if they just had a few dudes using spray paint guns!

You can go to any racetrack in less then 10 seconds.
You don't have to pay for insurance, fuel, repairs or drivers.
You purchase a lifetime consumption of tyres, but only valid for one car at the time.
You don't have to chase sponsors for half a year before you get into racing.
You don't have to pay for parking your cars.
You don't have to spend hours just searching for the right key for any of your 1000+ cars (you'd probably need one bucket of keys for each brand).
Your cars never get stolen.
Whenever you go to a track, the manufacturer of the car you're driving will send a pit crew to assist you - free of charge.
You're a photographer with superhero abilities that allows you to freeze time, travel in time, fly and your camera is equipped with a perpetual battery that will never drain.
There's no rust.
You don't have to register for an event half a year ahead of the start.

When your car has no traction on the road at 1-15 km/h.

There is no flagman stand at Daytona, and all the people are 2D lifeforms.

Wheel only turns 180 degrees
You don't see part of your car's interior in mirror
Car has no starting engine when stalling
There are european, non english cars with wheel in the right

 

[HKS racer]

Real life race organizers do not require a Secret Menu for choosing cars on a starting grid.

 

[Thematic]

There are european, non english cars with wheel in the right

These cars do exist, and photos of some of them were probably used when making the interiors. Or did you see a wrong/mirrored one?

 

[The_Rpg_Moogle]

In the world of Gran Turismo, an interior is optional.

Better yet, in the world of Gran Turismo the most favorite color for interiors is Colorblind Black

 

[Thematic]

Seems like GT Auto puts that used motor oil into these cars. Nobody would open a door anyway.

No, but it's just a pain to have a Golf R, for example, with the wheel on the right. They should give the option to mirror the interior if we want to play left wheeled cars
