I thought there was a new hoodview? But latest video's still use the roof cam.
this roof cams aren't fun https://www.gtplanet.net/first-gameplay-video-of-car-rollover-in-gran-turismo-5/

One video showed a hood cam, but we never saw it again.

Personally I always use cockpit, but more cameras is always a good thing so I hope they haven't removed it.

i usually use cockpitview, but when they decided to not give standard cars no interior. i want a other good view which i use in other racing games. and its a hoodview. i don't wan't to switch all the time between view.
I am hoping on a hoodview. but i don't see them.

Sure wouldn't mind seeing some RC cars in GT5... 👍

In an interview with Kazunori, he said that the game was delayed because of the fanbase wanting R/C cars in the game. After all, he can release the game anytime we want..."

🤬 you PD!!!
Okay, okay, enough with the sarcasm.
I like the hood view. It gave me some memorable golds in GT4, like the dreaded B-5 and the IA-15 license test.
PD please, keep that view!

Indeed, considering we will be pushing 80% of cars in non-cockpit view cars, we need a really good hood cam, a non-roof hood cam, which is also a bit dynamic, i hated in GT4 that the hood\roof cam, was so stiff, forcing me to use bumpercam to be able to see the car dip

There has to be a driver's eye-level camera without the cockpit in my opinion, this is important especially for standard cars.
The "bumper" cam is too low, the "roof" cam clearly too high.
For standard cars, technically it shouldn't be a problem to reuse the point of view of the blackened cockpit camera for each car from GTPSP without actually showing the cockpit.

Agreed. Given that the cockpit view is an "extra", or redundant viewpoint as far as the Standards are concerned, the view selection cycle will either have to be shorter, or, as you say, the GTPSP co-ordinates could be used - this would also have the benefit of, perhaps, offering a cockpit sound, since the bumper cam sounds very different.
I'm worried by the fact that the hood-cam's presence has been inconsistent in recent demos.

I'd love the hood view from NFS Shift.
It's at the perfect height and angle for me.

In GT5P the bumper cam is at driver's eye level actually. Same height as the cockpit. Pretty sure it'll be the same for GT5

Yeah that's true, its on the same level as the cockpit its more a windshieldcam. With invisible hood.
If people want to see a bumpercam they should play NFS Shift or Dirt 2 there is a real bumpercam.

Yes, but it's in the middle of the car, and it doesn't sound like the cockpit, either, it sounds like being stuck on a bumper, even if the camera technically isn't...

Hey I'm all for it, but why did you have to pose such a loaded question? (I voted no out of spite)
you're obviously trying to steer people towards voting yes.
Yes (Your a fine upstanding cittizen)
No (you hate all other living beings and will not get to play gt5)

Hmm... yes, cockpit sound is another concern I have.
There's a possibility that realistic sounds from the driver's point of view (filtered by the sound proofing of the car and listening position of the driver) will be heard only with the cockpit view, and therefore only on premium cars.
An eye-level camera (or hood camera? In my opinion such camera should be exactly like the cockpit view, but without the cockpit. Probably some balance issues would arise as the effective field of view would be larger, though) should provide an option to hear the car sound as if the player is using the cockpit view.
I don't have GT5P, but I never noticed that the "bumper cam" is at the driver's eye level from the countless videos of public GT5 demos.
Is it only my impression or was the "bumper cam" position changed in such demos?

I didn't notice it too until I took a photo of both modes and compared them. It can really fool you. It's hard to compare it in videos cause you never see one where they do it with the car stopped.

I voted YES. GT5 game would be nice if it is proper bonnet/hood view and a "dashboard" view (no wheel and hands).

As SHIRAKAWA pointed out, a critical viewpoint will be lost for standard cars, and even though the bumper view placement has been improved in prologue, seeing the hood is absolutely vital for proper spatial orientation. Doing so, it looks infinitely more realistic and solid, and the sense of placement for the gamer is dead-on for the feeling of actually piloting said 500+ hp beast.
It is a tad troubling that the Real Driving Simulator could be lacking in such a serious manner. What I'm hoping is that Kaz is so cool that he thought of all this ahead of time and GT5 will launch with proper hood/bonnet view included.
(and I voted yes, though grog makes a good point, Nox)-G
The problem with the bumper cam in GT5p wasn't the height, it was how far forward it was compared to the cockpit view. If you played in cockpit view and switched to bumper cam it would throw your brake timing off completely.
This is more worrying for GT5 because I'm afraid I'll never want to buy a standard car just because it'll be such a departure from the cockpit view. A good hood view could help tremendously in this regard. Still, I'm optimistic.
