I couldn't care less about the Veyron, but yes, every new car to the franchise (Countach, Jaguar XFR etc) should have been premium from the get-go. I guess we have the PSP to thank for this...:dopey:
 
You seem to know for a fact that PD had the choice of being able to put this car into the game as a premium model. Do you own one and did you tell them they could take photos of your car?

how did they put it in in the first place then? if they have the car in the game you really think VW would put a clause in the agreement stopping the inclusion of that gorgeous interior? plus do you really think out of over 300 sold, no one wants theres to be in the game? Tom Brady would love bragging that his Veyron is in GT5. Bugatti could supply it besides
 
I know tons of cars that handle like crap and simply aren't fun to drive, but are still fast around a track.

The Bugatti is loads of fun. I had half a mil, then got up to around 3 mil, using the Bug at Citta Di Aria in reverse, on S class. I enjoyed every second of it. And it does fine around Citta Di Aria, and you need a good handling car to do fine there.
 
I personally like the Veyron, even more so the Super Sport. I'm not saying it's a beautiful car, because it isn't really, but I was watching a programme the other day about how the Veyron is made and it's quite something, as was watching it race the plane and winning on Top Gear.

In answer to the poll, I voted yes, it should have been a Premium car, but to be honest, I like driving in third person so I can see the car I'm driving, so the Veyron being Standard certainly won't stop me from driving it.

Nicely said. I agree with you. I drive in the third person view as well, so the whole thing with Premium vs. Standard does not bother me.
 
Who the heck is clicking no? What's the downside?

That's a good question. I personally do not prefer the Veyron, but I still voted yes. I don't see anything negative coming out of converting any car to premium. (Even though I play in third person so it doesn't affect me either way)
 
there were others though. '06 & '04 ZO6 corvette for example

Those are not duplicate cars, the 2004 C5 Z06 looks like this:

and the 2006 C6 Z06 looks like this:

I am stoked that they are both Premiums, more Chevys to love. :cool:
(and I voted yes)

oh wow big difference. so you're saying those 2 cars are more important than the fastest and most expensive car in the world? i hope you didn't vote no based on that. if you disagree with me that's fine but that's not a reason to vote no

there is no way to defend the veyron not being premium. the reason people voted know is because they didn't think about the question or read my description. I said the question has nothing to do with preference or liking the car, it had all to do with the impact the car had on the automotive industry and if that impact registers it in the top 20% of the 1031 cars in GT5. Obviously it is in the top 20% and not a single person has given a real reason to vote no. they all just talk about whether they like it or not because they're all infants. I'm kind of jealous that you use 3rd person. to me it's the prettiest view but for me it's the hardest to drive with besides bumper cam. I'll try roof cam on standards but even in GT5p, I hated using it.

No, it's because people interpret things differently. You see it as; automotive icon -> deserves to be premium. In that regard, I agree that the Veyron should be a premium car.

However, I seriously doubt that Polyphony Digital overlooked the Veyron and its qualities and thus kept it standard. Simply put, I don't think they are to blame.
 
Useless (12 page) thread. All cars should be premium.


And why the hell would you specifically say no, I do not want this particular car to be premium. I cannot believe that nearly 100 of you at this point have specifically articulated that you want sony to give you a lower quality, less detailed, less feature rich car model than what should be in a game of GT5's hype and budget. I absolutely cannot believe that you people are actually saying that. I know there's a lot of fanboys here, but do you think before you type?

That's really, really sad.

how are they not to blame? bugatti wouldn't license the car at all if they weren't going to allow the interior so it has to be PD just passed over it to put a rediculous army jeep, prius, hippy bus, etc. I mean the hippy bus is just funny but we don't need a fiat 500 when we already have tons of tiny cars and other standard versions of it

you're completely right. it really is absolutely rediculous that there are that many opinionated selfish little fanboys on this site now. it's sad. that, plus the stuck up nature of the forums rules is ruining this website that could be great. I seriously had a moderator give me a warning for using the phrase "r u kidding me?" because we are expected to use proper grammar at all times. not to mention we aren't supposed to swear. pretending like not swearing makes you any better when there's no way you don't swear occasionaly is just immature and rediculous. it's like being in denial. we are here for the love of the game so when we have to deal with people like this, it's not even fun anymore.
 
I voted yes because ALL cars should be premium, I understand though that PD really didn't have the time to model all of those cars. I actually don't mind the standard/premium thing at all...but there's absolutely no reason why people shouldn't at least want a certain car to be premium.

Besides, the Veyron could be made premium in an update, or maybe we get the SS model. You never know.
 
I voted no because the fact that it isn't premium gives all of you something to complain about. And because it would have been time and resources wasted modeling a car I have no interest in driving, that could have been spent on cars more relevant to racing. No, I am not defending the choices of which cars were premium, which were standard, but I'm reserving my judgement about the importance about those decisions until the game is actually in my system, and I have a chance to see what those differences actually mean. Everyone who sits at home and complains about a game they haven't played yet deserves to have stuff like this drive them insane. Play the game, then complain all you want :). Personally, I hate having two steering wheels in front of me (especially since the on-screen one doesn't have the same turning radius), so I don't care about the in-car cam.

Bottom line: if you're posting on this forum, you're buying the game. If you're buying the game, you're supporting the game, regardless of what you may post online. If you're supporting the game, you're making the game better, perhaps with DLC, perhaps in its next iteration. Therefore, I don't give a rats what you complain about, as long as you buy the game :).

I do find it funny that people are making such a big deal about this car, though. It is a beast, but it's not really a beast I'd want to take around the virtual track. Maybe if it were a prize car...

People are making such a big deal about the premium/standard thing... I just can't wait to have fun playing the game!
 
Having a poll isn't changing the fact that it's a standard. Deal with it.

You bitch about getting a release date. You get one, and now all of a sudden GT5 isn't good enough for you and you don't like it. You're just a bunch of hypocritical idiots.
 
Provided you don't steer... or lean on the back of one and crack the plastic.

Uh, where have you driven new fords or chevys? They have equal quality to Honda and Toyota. Japanese cars over rated. The premiums you pay isn't worth it anymore. Its funny because so many of my friends think the last gen Civics (I think from 2001-2005) are very good used cars. They are horrible. You over pay for something thats prone to breaking down.

I would have agreed with you if you were talking about American cars in the 90s or early 2000s, but anymore.
 
I can see this Forum is full of resident pro's.

Don't judge any car's dynamics until you drive it. I would never buy a C5 or C6 Corvette (interior's are pretty ghastly) but they sure as hell get the job done over the entire performance envelope. The new Mustang GT (5.0 model) is within a few tenths of a second off the pace (around Laguna Seca) of a BMW M3 V8...for less than half the price. It's worth noting, that subjectively, most reviewers rank them fairly close as well. I'm not loyal to any specific continent (I've owned cars from the Japan [rx7, civic si], US[Mustangs] and Europe[Sierra XR4]) but claiming, as most ignorant Top Gear-watching sheep do, that American cars handle badly just isn't true anymore...go drive one and find out.

My favorite is when the "experts" from top gear say that the vette is made of plastic.
 
If you say you voted yes, because all cars deserve to be premium. It is the wrong approach in my opinion. All cars need atleast one variation to be made premium. Yes. If they had a BMW 333i or an E30 M3.. I wouldnt mind, but just look at those two corvettes.. I mean, come on? I was looking at old videos yesterday, the old subaru rally car going around eiger, the lancer (with an aftermarket GT4 wing) going on Eiger and I realised why the cut corners with the car list. Time. They REALLY started making GT5 since 2007. They sat there messing up different builds before that. The assets in Eiger look so different. They went back to the drawing board in 2007.. and a game with some 'holes' is what we get in 2010.
 
Oh and please people stop defending this whole "there's logic in standard cars" no, there's NONE, in all the previous GT's all the cars were the same, so in Forza and they all are fully modeled if this is to be an automotive museum in the virtual world than interiors are part of it. I wanted to buy a PS3 just for this game, but not anymore, not untill I hear you all about it months after it's release.
