Very true, unfortunately.
Hey, I don't think it's unfortunate at all. I really like that car. Like a bunch of you guys, I'd rather it be a Premium, but I sure as heck don't want it yanked.
Now the question is, how many (Standards) can be race modded?
The answer to that should be "every one that has a Premium race moddable equivalent." And I'm hopeful PD fixes it this time. Never understood why you could race mod, say, both of the Premium Lotus Elise models, but not any of the Standard Lotus Elise models (Motorsports Elise being the exception).
Well................. it depends. Way back in the start of this whole GT5 fiasco, when wheels couldn't even be swapped on the Standards, and Kaz had remarked that giving them blacked out interiors so we could drive them in cockpit view was "technically possible," some of us assumed that Standards couldn't be altered at all without a lot of trouble.
But then we got both. I was stunned at the uproar wheel swaps caused, though it is pretty cool. One more tidbit on them. Along with all the other weird flukes with GT5, a tiny number of Standards can be upgraded with more aerokit options than their Premium brothers, like the Mini Cooper, weirdly. And some Premiums like the Peugeot 207 can't have any. This really baffles me.
But what this tells me is that if PD takes the time, they can do anything they want to with the Standards. I know that the clock is ticking, and I'm pretty sure that SONY is breathing down the neck of their VP of SCE to get GT6 out at least a week before Christmas. The earliest Christmas anyway, I'm not up on all the world's holiday schedule.
Hey, a discussion!
Okay, me hush.
Anyway, the physics look interesting, although I'd be surprised if the real cars are driven like that in the race!
You know us gamers. We'll fly F-16s right into Osama's compound in a video game.
But this reckless racing does show off the car and suspension dynamics much better than safe driving would. Now I will have to say that some of my GT5 videos look almost this good, but we have a whole slew of people posting here who go so far as to say that racing in the GT6 demo is pretty darn close to GTR 2 and rFactor among other games, not to mention real life, so I'm really looking forward to July and getting my own experience going.
