Having the Veyron in the game, but no CCX-R makes no sense to me as it murders the Veyron to 0-100mph and 0-200mph.

That's totally false.

Facts:
0-124mph (200km/h)
CCX-R - 8.9s
Veyron - 7.3s

Are you suggesting the CCX-R "murders" the Veyron to 100mph, then for some strange reason drops a massive 1.6secs behind at 124mph and then regains the lead and "murders" it again to 200mph?

Using misinformation as a way of making a point, not smart.

EA's license(someones license) prohibits it.

Got to say the Porsche licencing issue still confuses me, considering both Forza and NFS have access to the licence and somehow PD doesn't?

Maybe they don't want people to beat the GT-R's Nordschliefe time in a 911 and rain on Nissan's parade (Im not biased towards the 911, I'm just saying)
 
Nissan is represented far out of proportion to most car enthusiasts interest in it. Not really that surprising however, given the country of origin.

Just an Example : If you were making a Game, and you love Mercedes, and you had big partnership with them, you would include 100 vehicles form them.

So I understand why they have so many Nissans in the game. It does not bother me, I love Nissan.
 
Seems like a really good list to me. I mean I would be plenty happy if the game just came with these cars, but the addition of the standards is great for the options.

I mean I've played Prologue for the last 4 months and not even driven half of the cars included in that.. GT5 has my Clio and Megane, Vipers Challengers and Shelby Cobra, color me stoked.
 
My biggest complaint is probably no premium Europa...

I would have liked to see less repeats, just like everyone else..though I have no problem with different noticeably revisions of the same car being premium. I love the Cappuccino so I'm interested to see the differences between the two..Also I'm very happy to see the early model NSX. I'm still hoping for premium updates at DLC, though not *expecting* it. I hope to see more lower end cars.
 
Yea, Nissan is out of proportion, but that should be expected. PD has to put a disclaimer everywhere for Ferrari. But Nissan? They probably see Kaz at the coffee shop saying, "hey Kaz, where have you been? Haven't seen you in a week." :lol:

From what I've read, EA still holds the actual license to Porsche. Someone wrote something that I remember going something like Microsoft is paying a lot for a sub-license deal off of that original with stipulations? Or maybe I'm wrong?

However, we all know that licensing deals are very complicated. I mean, why else in the Transformer movies is Bumble Bee not a VW Beetle and a Chevy Camaro instead?

We also know that Porsche does not want their cars to be virtually simulated to the levels as only PD and a select very few other game developers are currently taking cars. I know Forza, though it does a magnificent job, still does not touch GT for the level of realism and simulation depicted in the cars - the damage, physics, etc.

So, I believe with these arguments, along with having to work out some sort of licensing agreement through EA, undoubtedly more complicated, and I'm guessing would cost a bit more, sadly, GT fans are yet again missing out one of the greatest ever automobile makers to ever exist.

I am quite disappointed that Koenigsegg is missing completely as well. Maybe someone scooped up an exclusive license? Maybe they also felt the same way Porsche does about the accuracy of virtually simulating their car? Maybe their price for licensing was more than what Sony/PD wanted to take on? Don't think we'll ever know.

As far as the Veyron being standard... I am betting that in order to secure the license, Bugatti put their foot down and said, no deformation damage, no modifications, etc. It is their right to have their car "advertised" how they see fit, I guess. I've always looked at GT as being more of an "Auto Show" advertisement game for cars than any other, which I find very cool and intriguing.

A lot of people are looking at Standard vs. Premium as a negative. But, because of what is mentioned above, which is surely in the thoughts of many a GT fan alike, I look at the Standard vs. Premium as a great positive, because it will allow us to have more cars and car companies in the game and I believe, though I may be wrong, it is allowing us to have the Veyron and a few others. It may still yield Koenigsegg with DLC. Defining the cars as S or P as they've done here and the features that go along with either is Sony/PD trying to give all sides what they want, whether it is the fans, whether it is the car companies, but PD have said themselves that they work the closest with the car companies out of all racing game developers to deliver their product and do have developed relationships that have evolved.

In regards to DLC, I am hoping all of the hints and cars to be released (like the 2010 SEMA winner) are just a scratch on the iceberg, in relation to cars AND tracks. There have been a lot of screen captures and videos that I thought we all witnessed and after seeing the official car and track list, I just feel there is a lot missing.

It would be amusing to see if the delay from the 2nd to the 24th is because they realized that all of their content in the game could not fit on a Blu Ray disc, so they eliminated tracks and a couple cars here and there to keep the core game intact. Then, hopefully, but doubtfully, they would release the rest as part of downloadable content. I'm not holding my breath on that one, but if they can render pretty much most of the GT4 car lineup to HD and lump them in with the standard cars available in GT5, you would think they could render a lot of these already designed and built tracks from GT4 and release them later if they can't release them now for whatever reason. But, I don't expect it and don't have my hopes up. My hopes have been messed with for 6 years now, and while I am not angry or upset and am happy that the game is finally going to be a reality, I am pretty disappointed that some things either have not changed or have regressed from previous editions of the game.

I was gung-ho for this game, as I've been for all previous GT editions and bought them up right away without question or pause. But for this edition, now I am going to play a waiting game and follow what the reviews and the rest of the community has to say with anticipation. It also helps that money is very tight right now, and I really do not want to play this game without a wheel as I've done with all of the previous versions.
 
Civic Type R (FD2) '08 (image) Premium [NEW]

Can I just ask how you confirmed this was the FD2 and not the FN2?
I have been trying to get a difinitive answer on which model it was since I saw the list just stating "Civic Type R '08"
That only led me into further confusion as both chasis were released in 2007 but both had minor updates in 2008.
I was thinking more towards it being the FD2 however as in Japan the FN2 is known as the Civic Type R Euro :indiff:
 
As the owner of a V5 STI I'm a bit annoyed that there are 4 Evo's in that list and no GC8 WRX STI there, especially when there are 2x Suzuki Cappuccions and Swifts :(

But still there are heaps of awesome cars 👍
 
In GT6,Polyphony need to focus on converting as many standard cars as possible to premium.

In Gt6 what I wish is no more standard and premium. ALL CARS SHOULD HAVE A COCKPIT VIEW. I don't care if it is not a thousand car. Well honestly, i could have been happier seeing only 500 cars but all with cockpit view. So next time I hope PD will not focus on quantity but more on quality
 
This is not an "official" anything which is why I had removed the word. Don't put it back again.
 
The GTbyCitroen concept car is missing.

There is 3 iterations:

-The concept car from prologue
-The road car, with a V8 engine
-The race car


EDIT: Ignore this, it's listed as P/S in the official list. Which is odd, considering it's so obviously a premium from what we saw in prologue.
 
But Nissan? They probably see Kaz at the coffee shop saying, "hey Kaz, where have you been? Haven't seen you in a week." :lol:

lmao how true,

seriously though fellaz,

Having looked at the overall list thinking where all the premium cars are hidden amongst the standard i thought not bad, but could be better.
Now i see the premiums in all their glory on this list and im a bit disappointed.



Not wanting to sound ungrateful or say anything to upset the many shareholders of polyphony digital who post on this board ! but that list is poor. Yes there is a good number of cars from all ranges but there is just too much ommitted too many iconic cars that deserved to be more than just "standard"

PD need to do some explaining as to why they chose these cars and why there is so many variations on one type within the premiums

Wouldnt it have been better if they had asked via a poll on the respective global GT websites that out of the standard cars to choose a selection of say 20-50 to be made premium? this would have been such a good gesture and would have made the fans so much more involved in the making of the game too.
I guess that just aint the japanese way to do business.

All the Group B rally cars deserve to be premium
All the Group C leman cars deserver to be premium
As does the Veyron
As does the Countach
As does the Diablo
We need more premium M cars, Bmw has been neglected so badly it hurts
We need more hot hatches from europe
We could do with some muscle pickup trucks being made premium and the Dodge Ram SRT 10 being added
We need a Premium Koenigsegg
We need more Premium Tvr's
We need all the Ruf's premium - how could they leave the yellowbird standard?
and so on and so forth all the above has been re-iterated by all of y'all at some point in time during this discussion.

I am a bit worried for the future of Gt's car inventory as by the time GT6 comes out there will be so many many more new cars that arent even released that will be worthy of going into the game that they just will not have the time to convert all these cars from standard to premium, if we are to use the time it took to get the ones in GT5 as anything to go by.

I seriously think mooving forward they are going to have to cut back on the fodder (all the excess Japanese cars) in order to make a more balanced car list.

I for one expected all the japanese cars i know its a GT game and has always been this way , however as long as they had compensated more for other marques. Guess they didnt to that much of an extent!

Either way when all's said and done GT5 will be a great game but with the hype and expectations generated by such a lengthy production period, its only inevitable that the fans expectations would never have been met.
 
It's stuff like this that really aggravates me.....

Cappuccino (EA11R) '91 Premium
Cappuccino (EA11R) '95 Premium
Swift Sport '05 Premium
Swift Sport '07 Premium

That's just two examples. Why the hell do we want both those Swifts as premiums, or both those Cappuccinos? Why? We don't. Even just one of them is more than enough...
 
Some of you don't see things the right way.. It's called 'the Real Driving Simulator', not 'The Real Racing Simulator'. There are everyday cars in there because while driving in real life you don't a Bugatti followed by a Ferrari, followed by a Lambo, followed by a McLaren, followed by an SSC Aero.. it just doesn't happen. Yes, there are loads of Japanese cars, but it's easier for a JAPANESE company to model Japanese cars because they're within reach in terms of the country.
Yes, there are cars I would have like to have been in/Premium, but it will happen eventually (by the time GT6 comes out, hopefully).
Who knows, there may even be a surprise in store; you just don't know.
And as Amar said, they can't get online yet because 'he has the wrong version of the game', so more may come, just wait and see.

Yeah, I mean, come on PD! I don't mind having these two as premiums (in fact, i rather like it) but why do we need two duplicates of the same car ffs? :crazy:

Or 5 racing Impalas that are identical, just with different liveries?
 
And for the people saying 'Oh there's two Cappucinos and two Swifts! How pointless!' look at the Evo for example.
Evo 9 and 10 are Premium, for the same reason the two Swifts and Cappucinos (both from two different years, may I add) are Premium; THEY ARE DIFFERENT!
 
^ Fair enough, Traviitzer.

Could you tell us what the differences actually are between an '05 and '07 Swift?

Front & Rear Bumper & Rear Taillights. Oh and I think the new one has Front Foglights. And the interior is ever so slightly different.

The '05 is pre-facelift.
 
Just checked out a brief history of the Swift and the Swift Sport was released in 2005 with a 1.6L engine. No where does it say that a 2007 version was created that was different. The current shape model is listed as 2004-2010.
I personally can't see what the difference would be.
 
Peopel want to drive premium Evo's though. Who actually wants to have the chocie of two premium cappuccinos? Cappuccinos? Two of them, premiums? Give them one premium. at least they can still drive the other one as standard.

Not wanting to go on about the Bugatti but, well, you know, there's only one Bugatti in the game and it's the Veyron, and it's just a standard one.

Well I know since my Aunt has owned two Suzukis and I went to the dealership and they looked a bit different. And it won't be listed as a 'new model' because it was only a facelift.
It's still a Mk I Swift, just there was a Mk I Facelift.
