GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[stig's helmet]

a premium prius to me (no offense) is a bit wierd...it's more affordable in real life than say...a zonda....so why waste a premium spot on a prius when you could interest more people into driving their dream cars that they can't afford in real life. Just imo though.

 

[peterjford]

Is not this Skyline

Yes, that is most definitely a Skyline.

 

[tvvisted]

Yep, definitely the old mini, I saw it too.

Wonder why the 'Mines Mitsubishi Evolution VI' had the image of the R34 N1 from Prologue though...

Yeah i had to take a look at that 3 times to make sure, wierd.

 

[arthurenzo]

that is really a skyline

 

[Abraxas]

Renault Avantime - smells like Top Gear challange

 

[Fredde_swe]

How many versions of the S2000 was it in GT4. Maybe one of them is premium

But seriously, since they are all very similar, I'll be surprised if PD didn't a major cut&paste job for at least the exterior of the car, upgrading their detail to premium specifications.

 

[STORSKARV]

When can we expect first PAL hands on? I remember amar212 was very early out with news when GT4 came out...

 

[LordVonPS3]

Hm, then it's not the full car list.
There are a few Premium ones on it, but in the full game there are supposed to be 1000+ cars in total.

After some close study I can confirm…
31 rows x 29 columns = 899 cars on show in these (PlayView) videos.
By the way it suddenly stopped, it appears as though the vertical scroll limit was reached, but horizontally there might be more columns…

P.S. To reach 1000+ cars (1023 to be exact), it would require another 4 (full for 1023) columns than we’ve been shown here.

P.P.S. 4 x 31 = 124 cars. Therefore, IF there's (only!) 1023 cars and going on the statement that there are over 200 "premium" cars in the game, there will definitely be "premium" cars mixed in with "standard" cars on the video (shown @ https://www.gtplanet.net/more-gt5-cars-revealed-in-playview-demo-video/). However, IF there is just 1 more column here (and indeed 1 more car), then it would have been more prudent for Polyphony Digital to state that there are 900 (or more) "standard" cars in GT5. IF there are 899 "standard" cars (and not a single one more) then for us to get another 200+ "premium" cars on top would mean there must be at least 1099 cars in GT5. Going on what Polyphony Digital has stated (800+ "standard" cars and 200+ "premium" cars), I'm going to guess that there's both types of car on display there.

yea the one from GT5p

 

[gt4lova]

I think it's time to update the master carlist

I agree!!!

Good thinking and your assumption has been proven. I believe in the first video you can see the Mazda 787B, which already has been confirmed as a premium.

 

[shirakawaa]

I think there are 30 rows x 30 columns = potentially 900 cars, in reality somewhere between 870 and 900.

My analysis:

 

[Abraxas]

@Alex p.: Same for Alfa 147 and Prius

 

[tankuroded]

Is not this Skyline

What a funny mistake!

 

[mike3648]

Cars look to be shown by manufacturer listing vertically

 

[LordVonPS3]

I think there are 30 rows x 30 columns = potentially 900 cars, in reality somewhere between 870 and 900.

Pretty sure you mis-counted. Please confirm as follows.

At 0:00, there are 29 rows on screen (and 28 columns).

Cars to watch at 0:00... 2nd column, bottom 3 cars = red, yellow, purple.
Last column (right) at the top - the 3 cars = white(ish), dark blue, white (ish)

So at 0:01 (end of), user scrolls up and left slightly.
Watch last column but 1... Top 4 cars = red, white, dark blue, white.
So that's 1 extra row.

... and again at 0:03, user scrolls down.
Watch 1st column (was 2nd)...
The bottom 4 cars are red, yellow, purple, purple.
So that's another extra row.

Hence 1 row up + 1 row down plus the 29 rows on screen at the start = 31 rows. We only see one extra column scrolling right, hence 29. 31 x 29 = 899.

And this isn't the psp car list?

 

[daus26]

Yep, definitely the old mini, I saw it too.

Engine Swap?

Lol, jkjk.

It's funny because right above it, it's the exact same car, but with the right name.

And this isn't the psp car list?

Can't be because

1. It says GT5 above the T.V (It says something like "GT5 Car Index powered by Playview")
2. There are cars in there that are not in GTPSP.

 

[CoolColJ]

According to someone the playview doesn't show all the cars, it's just an excerpt of pages from the Apex book

People bring this up a lot and they're the people that don't understand what Gran Turismo is all about.

It's about the beauty of selection and variety.

That's quite believable and I'll tell you what... On watching the video again - I think actually the guy has scrolled up / down & as far right as he can and that's when he's decided in his own mind to zoom in. If that's right (and he couldn't scroll left either) then we're looking at a total of 899 cars.

Ok thanks.

maybe it's all the cars they've made in the GT franchise, so just because it's there may not necessarily mean it's in the game, im guessing

Because some people also like to drive their real-life cars in ways and places they never could to see what they could make it do if they weren't concerned with things like their well being, insurance costs, and getting to work the next day.

This is why in GT5 and GT PSP my most driven car is the Volkswagen Golf V GTi. In real life I drive a Volkswagen Golf V (Rabbit).

 

[Lotrzyna]

What a funny mistake!

I think it was done on propose so that we wouldn't know which car is standard and which is premium (which is a good thing in my opinion).
If they waned to hide car models in total they shouldn't use the names of the cars though. (they should have repeated the names too)

there has to be more because it's not just standard cars that were shown there..the Zonda R was there too

 

[jhietter]

Look closer:

 

[LordVonPS3]

How do you mean? There doesn't have to be more on the PlayView list... That block of 31 x 29 cars could well be a mix of both standard + premium.

Unless someone is bothered enough to look in depth (not me personally - sorry folks), we don't know how these cars have been ordered / listed. Personally I don't care because I play in bumper cam view anyway. We've been told 800+ standard & 200+ premium = 1000+ cars which is good enough for me. 👍

Not only that, I don't even own a Golf V GTi but still like to drive it in GT5 as a lot of cars which aren't going to set a land speed record or beat the Nürburgring lap record in real life ( or in the game for that matter ) provide plenty of fun.
I don't even consider buying a Prius in real life but I will in GT5 as these cars, heaven forbid, may actually provide fun within the context of a game.
Yes, I've said it out loud, the Prius may provide fun, not saying I will drool over it in the same way as some exotics which I definitely would consider buying in real life if funds would allow it ( which they don't ).
