Because they are trying to say that the standard cars are all used vehicles since none of the standard cars are from the current year. The premiums just get the showroom treatment to show off their graphical splendor. If all the cars were premium, then the used car lot would have premiums in it yes? It's just PD decision to leave the standards as all used vehicles, doesn't mean a damn thing since you can engine refresh and chassis refresh so the cars a like new. What is with some of you? Everything is a gripe, I swear it's like a preschool in here. Why did they do this? why did they do that? Why did they leave out such and such? Omg it's their decision, they were obviously pressed for time and seriously adding way too many things that many of you will not even appreciate, like some ungrateful brat kids.
So what the smoke effects make the cars look kind of muddy where the smoke covers the car, big deal. I'd prefer it not be there, but as long as it doesn't hamper my driving I can live with it. I mean the car mirrors do not reflect on the car body paint, this is a bit jarring when you take photos at different angles, but seriously it's not impacting gameplay in anyway. I think many of you complainers have too much time on your hands, flip the PC off and go outside for a little bit.
The game will have it's flaws, but the flaws that I really don't want to come across are physics bugs, super slipstreaming and cars going over curbs and tipping unrealistically
. Only a few more days people, how about we just calm down and just remember that it's still a game and made on a 4 year old machine with a meager graphics card, none the less the visuals are stunning no doubt. Hiccups here and there, but it's just a showcase to some serious ingenuity and skill on the Dev's part. Can only imagine what PD could do with the unadulterated power of a full on Cell paired with top of the line GPU's and 1Gig of RAM. It might happen on day. Till the 24th rolls around people, happy posting.
