I’d say that used to be the case. We were exposed to the Espace F1, Venturi, Ginetta, Tommy Kaira, etc. Many of us enthusiasts knew of these cars through magazines(not including those that saw these cars up close).Im talking about the GT Award at Peeble Beach‘s Concours de Elegance for example where Kaz is a actual Judge, they bring some really special classics to the game and this even sometimes with the actual Chassis-Nr. of the car and all it’s Details like scratch marks, dents etc., detailed to the individual screw (for example the Ferrari 500 Mondial). I would say this is unmatched and also brings some very rare and unknown cars to the game.
With these Pebble Bech cars,sure, PD get dug into the details. However, by the time we see these cars in GT, several other games already have those classics that palyers may never have seen before.
I know the game is four months in. Thing is, look how long it took to bring these cars to any GT game. Meanwhile, I’m driving a Group C Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo(literally, I have the game on pause). Next, I’ll hop in a Vintage Indy Agajanian Watson Roadster from 1963 or 1965 Lotus Type 40 Ford, 1963 Lotus Type 25 Climax. I can even drive a 1970 Ferrari 512 S, right now. Plus, the 512 M, 1957 250 Testa Rosa,1996 333 SP, Porsche 917 LH and 917 K(which we finally got). I’ve tried The 2015 918 Spyder Weissach in PC2, before GTSport came out. The 1952 W194, ‘71 908/03 Spyder, ‘98 911 GT1, ‘72 917/10 CAN-Am, That was four…wait, five years ago.
So, sure, Kaz/PD can shake hands and kiss babies with the best of them, but it’s not really a benefit, when we’re waiting so long between drinks. Not disagreeing there are differences in quality with those minute details, but other developers can bring some of those rare classics to the masses as well.
Edit: Dang. Forgot to add. I’m thinking, with its power and weight, the R30 will slot between the ‘08 & ‘99 GT500 cars. If it doesn’t, I’ll be surprised. Hough Im not sure how great the downforce of the R30 is, compared to the ‘99 car.
