I'm not a wheel man so it is not a huge dissapointment for me.
However if I was, as many at GTP are, it would be.
It's less likely I will become one now as well.

I also hope there will be a cockpit view, black frame if nothing else.

I am also not having wheel :lol:

But yeah we will know later when show more standard cars ? I am sure even now back in their officies they will be working with standard cars to make it decent in front of ridiculous good looking premium cars

Honestly, what do you think is going to happen with statements like this? That PD will see the reception the 800 standard cars will get and decide to upgrade them all to Premium? It would take years to recreate them all, and more importantly, it can't be done. PD found the limits of the PS3 in making those 200.

And where, from my post, did you find my expectations about it?

The thread is about a poll on having or not a cockpit view. And people made their option and started to defending their option (a gt-psp dash view like will be ok, a generic cockpit view, a bonnet cam instead, etc.). I say what I think of it. In my opinion, for this game a cockpit view of the same quality as seen in GT5:P it is the minimum to be acceptable. You disagree? Fine.. what's your problem with it?

Oh for crying out loud!!

Nowhere does it say there's no cockpit view!

You will still be able to drive the standard cars from 'in car'/cockpit view complete with modelled dash and instruments, they just won't have the fully modelled 360 degrees interior like the premium cars.

You have proof of this do you?

I'm so glad I am a bumper cam user, won't notice any difference so for me the game will have 1000 cars :lol:

True.

However I'd imagine that even you, and the likes who use bumper cam, do easily agree that this whole thing is a retrocess to the high visual standards this series had outstand for.

Even the general appearance of the cars (exterior) is noticeable. GT4 graphics were excellent and still are but the difference for the premium cars is quite big and easily noticeable. This whole thing doesn't fit in the series legacy... it gives the impression of a rushed-in game....

I don't see why they can't implement maybe 30-50 generic cockpits to fill up another 400+ cars. But a) that would take more time and b) People would constantly bombard them with critiscism of the innaccuracies of a lot of the standard car interiors.

Would I prefer it? Yes. Is it going to happen? No, not a chance. The black outline like in GTPSP is far more likely.

Along those lines..

If there are more then one type of a car (for example - the Nissan Skyline), I would happy if one cockpit view from one model year covered the remaining 10 or so.
 
I would hate it so much if i were to see a Ford Fiesta dashboard while driving an old Corvette (or every other standard cars i drive...)

... so instead, a stripped down race ready generic cockpit would suffice :P

i am very simple, that's all i ask for.










At the worse, The PSP version of a cockpit could be acceptable, but that would make me feel like i am driving a cardboard box ahah :lol:

If they're going to half ass it, I don't want it. Same thing with damage (with the damage PHYSICS being significantly more important than the visuals). I'm cool with waiting for them to model everything over time.
 
If, and I mean IF we don't get interior views on standard cars, they better give us a proper bonnet cam and not just the roof-cam from prologue. :)
 
Give me a windshield. I have my wheel setup with my tv in such a way that the dash and steering wheel in the car are not all that nessessary. I can't do bumper or third person now.
 
I dont use cockpit view most of the time but in the latest violent crash video on the news page at 0:15 when the rally car is showing doesn't that look like the psp cockpit view .Now I know it's at night / twilight but you get what i'm getting at because there is no detail at all even when the light source moves
 
You know, I'm reminded of the San Francisco Rush games with Standard cockpits. You still get a basic idea on where you sit in the car. My Gran Turismo PSP experience is very limited. I've played it before at a store, but never played enough of it to know exactly what this game is like, so I can't comment on any in-car views here. I can really recall playing two games with one-size-fits-all interiors: Sports Car GT for the PC, and a lot of the cars in "Pro Race Driver" on the PlayStation 2. Did it spoil the experience in either game? Absolutely not.

I absolutely understand the whole sim experience deal, but I'm too much an old-fashioned person. I'd rather some kind of cockpit view than some one-size-fits-all cockpit. But do I really care about impressive-quality interiors? Not really. I'm not going to judge a racing game solely on graphics or on impressive interiors. So what would I vote to the poll question? Yes. But again, I'd rather enjoy great racing than care about an interior.

I think all of us would rather have modeled interiors on the standard cars, even if not exquisitely done. However at this stage of the game, there is little, if any chance of that happening.

As the pole indicates, rather is down to some sort of cockpit view or none.

At Kaz & Co. the leaning appears to be none, unless it can be otherwised influenced. Which is what I'm hoping for.
 
Honestly my preference would be for PD simply drop all standard cars from the game and release it with the 200+ premium cars. That's because this isn't just a matter of cockpit view. It's about having 2 distinct qualities of car models. bing that 80% of them neither show the best quality or allowed to be enjoyed the same way as the other 20%. That's simply not Gran Turismo's quality.
 
So you'd rather GT5 be GT3 in terms of cars? GT3 had much fewer cars, but many of the makers themselves made it back for GT3 from GT2. GT5 having only 200 Premium cars and NONE of the Standard ones mean the car selection will be flawed and get old very quick. You SURE you want that? The car choices were completely criminal in GT3. Still a lot of cars back then, but you really wished there were many more choices of cars to go with.

I think to be fair, let's really wait until either that game show in August (Gamescon?) or the Tokyo Game Show. That will mean at least two months to see how much further GT5 comes along. I will say this though... if a decent amount of Standard Cars get extremely decent interior views, that'd be a hell of an accomplishment in just two months since E3. PD may have to pull some strings to really suppress any further groaning from GT fans.

Let's wait at least two more months before we get a much better idea of what PD has in store for GT5.

If you have a look at the violent damage video on the news page at 0:15 that looks familiar don't you think?

Not really, during the day, that cockpit would have the full model, the PSP one stays the same no matter what time of day it is and lacks any dials or lights of any sort.

good argument ,but isnt there lighting effects in the same video at 0:24 .there is variable lighting changes in the rally footage
 
I actually did some research on YouTube. I've gotten to see some videos of Gran Turismo PSP to see what everyone means about GTPSP in-car views. Remember that my Gran Turismo PSP experience is extremely limited. So I've seen videos and pictures of interior views of Gran Turismo PSP cars ranging from various sports cars to the Ferrari F2007 car. I noted the blacked-out interior portions. The one fear is that the Standard Cars in GT5 would have the same blacked-out interiors. My defense... unless PD is completely lazy about it, I don't think we'll see completely blacked-out interiors. Even on a PSP, the mirror views were pretty decent from the side mirrors. I am pretty certain in-car views for Standard Cars will not be all blacked out and look like PlayStation 1 blocky graphics. The PS3 is infinitely more powerful from top to bottom than the PSP, and I extremely doubt PD would port over GT4 or GT PSP-quality cars just to fill out a 950 or 1,000 car list. And if they are, I'm sure they're not going to be cars that would look perfect on a PS2 as opposed to a PS3.

Maybe the one thing I'm thinking about is... just because it's next-gen doesn't seriously REQUIRE that everything be a quantum leap from the previous console. It's like when people complained of flat 2D trees. I remembered seeing grass sprites when I played the demo to the first MotorStorm, and not a damn person complained or noticed. Some old practices still work today.

I did vote that I'd prefer any kind of cockpit view than no cockpit view at all, but I don't think we'll see blacked-out interiors. We're not going to see Premium-type interiors, but I'm certain (at or near 100%) we'll get at least believable and decent interiors than anything blacked out.
