Dead Assets - Useless Car List that you wouldn't mind losing in future GTs

[GranTurismoer]

Various Miata/MX-5/Eunos Roadster variants
Coupe FX '01 or Tiburon GT '01
Civic Type R (there's a EU version and a japanese one, ditch EU one)
Various S2000's US and EU duplicate versions
The Clio and Lutecia nonsense, ditch one of these.
All of the cars with special edition paint stripes can go, unless part of a true upgrade package and not just cosmetic.
Stealth models and chrome models are more padding.
Not a fan of tons of the same base model with different decals either.

 

[alonsof1fan91]

The golf GTI had 110 ( ish ) ps ..

But yes it may mean I would have to loose a few mediocre cars... so be it If i can drive more thrilling things like ... La ferrari / Mclaren P1 .. Stealth b6

In a few years you will see these cars in any racing game out there, while gems like the Gordini will only to be found in GT.

 

[mlt456]

Do you really want to see standard cars again in GT7 on the PS4?

Doesn't matter to me as long as the cars are there.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Doesn't matter to me as long as the cars are there.

Continuously needing to fall back on outdated car models from 10 years ago in order to make a good selection of cars isn't a good sign in my opinion.

 

[The Bman]

There aren't any specific cars I would want to be removed but the duplicates have to go. I don't mind different 'evolutions' of the same car (R33, R34, etc.) but there is no point in having 'Spec' or 'Type' cars which are the same car with a different name. One version of a car is good enough, no need for 10 editions which have no differences between them.

If you don't want "duplicates" go play Forza! For the record they are not duplicates but different model years and trims of the same car, and they fully deserve to be in the game! Having a 100 Miatas and GT-Rs to chose from is one of the things that makes GT

For the record, they are duplicates because most of them amount to nothing more than different colors or badging.


Unless you can explain why the 34 Miatas are all justified when less than a third of them are real cars, and only half of the ones left after that are actually distinct models rather than "this one is burgundy" or "this one has a brown steering wheel".

 

[steve30x]

I just want to see the duplicate cars go. Theres way too many MX5's (MEEAWTAWS) in GT6 and all the Skylines. They arent needed.

If you don't want "duplicates" go play Forza!

They are all duplicates and I will play whatever game I chose to play. Its rude to tell others to go play a different game because you dont like their opinion of GT.

GT6 is not even released, and you are already talking about what you want dropped in GT7? I hope they add more GT-Rs, and whacky cars like the lunar rover and WWII jeeps.

So the response to people who have criticisms of the game is to request they abandon the series in favour of the competition? That's a wise move...

There are duplicates. That's the problem; PD has resorted to making up non-existent versions of cars. I also didn't realize tedium and hapless number padding under the guise of "diversity" was what makes GT, GT.

 

[GT5Redsucker23]

The duplicate cars should be removed. I think there is no point in having 30 variations of the same car

 

[Turismo.M.G!]

I would like to chip in as somebody who has owned several MX5s and driven maybe 50 different ones (On track days) that there is quite a difference between many of the models listed, specifically how they handle. The difference in oversteer between a model with a mechanical 'diff to one with a viscous one is huge. The horsepower difference between the engines is very noticable in such a light responsive car and even the weight difference between those with and without aircon, leather seats and extra speakers in the headrests etc (often the difference between the UK and Japanese versions) makes a big difference.

Now while I am not saying these variations have been perfectly represented in GT5, I am glad the choice is there. I can't be the only person that likes to get the exact match of the car they drive in the game? Perhaps a better 'filing' system would help, but don't get rid of them.

 

[Tornado]

It's pretty difficult to perfectly represent an imaginary car.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

Yeah, all those Skylines, S2000s, MX-5s, RX-7s, etc. Why don't they give us the top of the range/latest one from each model? just like Turn 10 does.

T10 has duplicates as well, surely you know this. Same car with different livery in some of the race cars, Acura and Honda same year same model just to name a few. Not as many as Gt but then there is not nearly as many cars as GT. Maybe Forza 5 has no duplicates but there are very few cars in FM5.

 

[Nielsen]

They can start with the Hyundai Clix Concept.

 

[rampageturke]

All sub 400pp cars

 

[Tornado]

The "different livery dupes" argument is about the worse box you can open to defend GT.

 

[Cheshyrkat]

Keep all premiums(dupes or not). They have been modeled may as well keep using them.

Drop most(all standards). Some of the refreshed ones are ok but honestly it is time to just cut them and model the cars needed to fill the gaps in the premiums list(Outsource if needed). I know this one is the toughest. I will lose a lot of my favorites as well but if they are gone, maybe they will no longer be a crutch and we will get updated models.

Going forward, less duplicates. Pick one or maybe 2(ex. FI/NA) of each cars generation. Even if the car is global with more than a few options and performance differences, just choose the model the represents the car the best. We dont need every Civic/MX5 etc.... from each region of the globe.

As for all the livery variants, just give us the options to add those body, performance parts and vinyl to build our own. We can keep some of the more historically significant models/skins.

 

[gambleboyen]

oh, and don't call the NASCARs 20 different cars. Theyr are 3 or 4 cars with different paint.

 

[Magic Ayrton]

Yeah, can you imagine having standard cars on the next-gen console game? But who knows.... The premium cars from GT6 might become 'standard' cars on GT7.

yes, "the quality of these cars is too good, that's the problem"

 

[TheMokafan]

None. There are a lot of cars in GT that I have no interest in, but I know someone somewhere probably loves it. Why would I want to take it from them?

 

[ironman44321]

I don't see the point in removing cars unless they have too. But since it will probably be the case when GT7 rolls around I would just like to see the duplicates go. No need to lose anything else.

 

[Gejabo]

If by dead assets you mean cars I did rarely use.
I would sy loose the NASCARs

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

It's pretty difficult to perfectly represent an imaginary car.

Just out of interest, which cars were made up my PD? With the amount of cars in GT5, I probably failed to notice.

 

[steve30x]

All sub 400pp cars

At least 50% of the people who play GT like to use the sub 400PP cars. Lets not be selfish

 

[Lawndart]

A simple pull down list for duplicate cars that only very based on territory and what side the steering wheel is on. Just level the cost.

I'm ok with all model versions over the years, just not 10+ of the same version. The skyline I understand, the Miata? Not so much.

 

[Rich S]

I think although everyone deserves "their" favorite class of car to be in the game, the wording to this above popular viewpoint that some cars should be cut; should change so that we say some cars are "over represented" and other cars are "under represented."

ie (the Nissan GTR has 100+ variations, it really only needs maybe 1 variation for each 3 years, the late 80s, early 90s, mid 90s, late 90s, early 2000, mid 2000, 2013 GTR.

The GT academy cars dont need to be re-worked and rebuilt all the time, it clogs up space that could be spent making other people's interests. And I'm not saying that other people's interests like DTM, tuner road cars, drag racers, Nascars, LMP, F1, Indycar, etc is rubbish, its perfectly fine and fair to want F1 in the game just like it is to want your family mini van. But some cars are just over-represented.

 

[g0ld]

Hey if your gonna take shots at me why don't you get your facts straight and post a picture of gt4's trail mountain

Im not talking about duplicates. He's saying that we can make a car look like another trim package with parts, when in fact they may have mechanical differences! Get rid of the blatant copy's such as regional cars and special color variations.

As expected from someone who misspells "Trial Mountain", you completely failed to see the point.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Some regional duplicate are genuinely different. Even having the wheel either side could be good globally for driver comfort. Some do have performance differences, one from personal experience is the JDM Rx8 which has a different map and set up compared to the one in the Uk. But others are the same.

Until PD can perfectly model what the computer can do in the R35 GTR, that old crutch doesn't hold up very well. It's time to trim some fat with a chainsaw!!!

 

[rampageturke]

At least 50% of the people who play GT like to use the sub 400PP cars. Lets not be selfish

the thread is asking my personal opinion

i dont care about you not fitting in with my opinion

 

[tvshacker]

I feel like I opened Pandora's box! all credit is due to SlipZtrEm
Wasn't expecting that this thread would grow so much!

This is going to be a bit long..
I realize that the variety of vehicles is one of the strong(est) points of GT: historic, classic, sport, supercars, exotic, full spec racing models, concepts and other "novelty" vehicles.
Personally I enjoy cars from different eras, regions and backgrounds; but I feel that some lack the "special" factor. I'm not a big fan of the Citroen 2CV or the VW Beetle, but I can "understand" why they are in the game, the same can be said about the Model T on a previous game. But I think some of them (although unique) are novelty items, they show up to make us say "WOW!" like the Lunar buggy or some concepts, others makes us laugh from the sheer ridiculousness like the Nike car or my pet peeve: the Midget, I really think it has overstayed it's welcome. I think it's good they introduce some cars like these from time to time, but I'm not so sure that they deserve the time that the PD team has to spend modelling them.
Sambabus, yeah it was a riot drafting the clumsy brick around the top gear track (very sad that its gone BTW), but I HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT EVER SINCE! neither have I used the VW from WWII. I would rather they spent their precious time on the AE86 .
I'll also be happy if future GTs drop (most) trucks and SUVs. Wouldn't mind the addition of a AWD Hilux or a Mercedes G63 AMG.

I can't be the only person that likes to get the exact match of the car they drive in the game?

I realise that driving your own car in game is AWESOME but I think people shouldn't expect to see their exact car in the game, they should just feel happy and lucky if it happens. (BTW I think PD should run a contest, maybe GT academy style, and the winner could have a car of their choosing modelled into the game)

I would like to chip in as somebody who has owned several MX5s and driven maybe 50 different ones (On track days) that there is quite a difference between many of the models listed, specifically how they handle. The difference in oversteer between a model with a mechanical 'diff to one with a viscous one is huge. The horsepower difference between the engines is very noticable in such a light responsive car and even the weight difference between those with and without aircon, leather seats and extra speakers in the headrests etc (often the difference between the UK and Japanese versions) makes a big difference.

I believe that the difference is there, but most unfortunately most of us won't be able to tell them apart, and most seem to agree that it's ok to have different versions if weight and power are substantially different.
I love the R35 GT-R (in case you couldn't tell from the avatar picture), but I don't think we need the 2007 the spec V the 2012, 2013 and so on, in the future versions of GT. 2007 is the first model - it can stay, the specV was lighter and had other tuning differences, but its probably slower than the 2012 or 2013 or whatever comes next, and I think it could be dropped in exchange of the newer special Nismo version. If it was up to me, GT7 (which will most likely come out after the R35 has been discontinued) should have 3 versions: 2007, Nismo (or something else more special if they make it), and 201x (the last version made).

lunar buggy
anything under 100 bhp

HELL NO! They help the learning curve and I've had lots of fun with karts and some of the kei cars (mostly RWD and AWD), and I also rather have a lightweight but less powerful than a 200hp brick (Gineta G4 > Mazda Lantis).
Besides you always have the tuning the option to tune.

The jump from this generation to next won't be nearly as big, and Premiums won't stand out massively in the same way as Standards do now. They have interiors, they have properly modeled exteriors with actual panel gaps versus textured ones - the big advancements will be seen in improved shaders and lighting, really.

I think PD stated they have FUTURE PROOFED all the models they are making. meaning the premium cars you now see aren't actually as good as they really are and as the models are used in future editions the true detail will be seen..

fingers crossed

I think it would make sense to reduce the number of Nascars to the three actual models and have the different liveries selectable like paint colour. They simply are not all different cars.

Genius!(Although the 2011 models have some extra aero parts than the 2010s)

... I just said it because some people insist that some cars should be taken out of the game because they are slow or old or pretty much pointless. I enjoy all cars and I would be really disappointed if some cars are taken out just because some don't like their performance or looks. Besides, these cars are already modeled. So why take them out?
As for the low quality standards, I, like many have mixed up feelings about them. It's kind of disappointing to see those low quality cars in the game, but at the same time some of them would be missed.

Seriously? who likes or drives the Midget, Ram, Peugeot CC, Lantis, besides people that own them?

Sorry for the long post.
