Nice! I'll be using that pretty much exclusively unless there is a race series that requires in car cockpits 💡 You know, for the longest time (like 6 months?) I thought the roof cam in GT4 was a hood cam

And this could have very well been the hood view, according to PD.
While I like the roof view I only use it for replays (I like the fish eye camera) driving with it gives me the sense of being top heavy. Now if there is a hood view. I will be using this for the standards.

I know. Im referring to Hood Cam. It's on GT PSP. So I'd assume GT5 will also have.

I've seen a picture from this hood view before, but never saw it in action. Looks very nice, I hope it's included.
@JDMKING13: Thanks for those pictures. 👍
The hood view in the above video fills the whole screen, unlike the hood view in those pictures. I prefer the one in the video, although it seems that the hood view in those pictures give you a wider FOV. Like the camera is zoomed out a bit more.
And the Nascar seems to be a roof view, yes. Hmm, maybe they have all roof camera, with the camera pointed to the hood? The hood seems so far away compared with the hood view in that video.

damn, hood view look like a perfect match for me, it capture that "track day video" vibe for when I'm just driving around casually.

In the 3D demo I played, the SLS view is not like that. All you see is a bit of the frontal roof
The Nascar is definitely a roof view though. You can see the pod
But I think the camera all these views are still a type of roof cam, just placed further forward compared to GT4 and Prologue.
See the Gallardo, you can see the windscreen.....
It's higher than the bumper cam for sure. All PD needs to do is use the bumper cam's camera height

If im not mistaken, didn't we already see a hood view?

Roof cam are bad, it looks like driving a freightliner, a proper hood view should be place at eye level midway through the windshield and shouldn't be angled too much toward the ground as it distorts (warp) the picture.

If you don't like it thats cool, but don't call it bad. Its some members who actually like roof cam and think its a good view. 👍

Would a GTPSP-style cockpit view (blackened outlines, no details) for standard cars be a substitute for a proper hood view, or do people want a hood view regardless if all cars will have some sort of cockpit view or not?
If all cars will turn out to have a cockpit view, I wouldn't feel the need for a hood view at all, personally.

The roof cam isn't bad at all. Just because you don't approve of it doesn't mean it's bad, it's all preference. The roof cam isn't angled towards the ground at all. Look at all those shots and you'll see the center of the screen is at or above the horizon line. The view isn't skewed at all. It does seem like the field of view is a touch wider, but that's to help see the front corners of the car to get a better sense of the size of the vehicle.
Those pictures above are definitely roof cams. We can see too much of the hood surface for them to be proper hood cams. If they were hood cams, the perspective would be lower, and we would see very close up reflections at the very bottom of the screen. A hood cam would make the hood of the car look much longer than it is too.
Also, the Stingray picture. That can;t be a hoodview at all. You can see over the top of the wall on the right side of the track, which based on what else we see, looks to be below waist height. If this was a proper hood view, we would not see the top surface of that wall, or underneath that Gran Turismo sign as much as we do. The perspective is higher than the windshield and hood.
As mentioned before, a proper hood view is basically forward of the drivers eye, in front of the windshield and down a bit. If you look for screencaps of F1 2010 and look at the cockpit view, and rollbar view, those 2 should give you a good idea of what sort of difference we would see here between a roof and hood view.

I think it is a view that most want regardless of cockpit or no cockpit. I know I want even for premium cars just because it is the only other view I like. In other games it is cool for me to see the hood rise and fall with accelerating, shifting and braking.
You mean like the SLR video that is a hood view. The hood is mostly flat and takes up the whole bottom of the TV.

Ok, so I understand this is roof view, but, first it's too high up for almost all of the cars, (It has to be at the drivers head height, not a little bit lower than roof cam) I will post pictures and show you what I'm talking about.
