Thank you for sharing all the standard pics from GT5 and GT6. Nice to see the comparison side by side. Hopefully by the time GT7 comes out on the PS4 they will all be premium.

I'm a little pessimist about this, I think they'll go Forza 5 on GT7 (cut down the number of vehicles), or they're going to take about 10 years to upgrade all of the current 1200 cars

GT3 was a huge step down from GT2 in the number of cars, and it turned out to be my personal favorite in the series.
Just as long as PD keeps the right cars in the lineup, then I won't complain.

Weird... I hope they take the same approach, and I consider that an optimistic view
.Dropping the dead assets would do wonders for the perceived level of overall quality in the game. Quantity simply for quantity's sake doesn't hold my interest anymore.

The SPOON DC2 Integra is one of my favorite cars in GT5, and if they were to drop it from a future game just because it's a standard it would be a huge letdown.

I think PD has done a great job with the standards, especially that they have almost no more room on the PS3. Well done.

It's one of mine too. But moving onto the PS4, I'd rather there be no DC2 than the PS2-era ones we're stuck with currently. Considering it's such an historic car, I would certainly hope PD has the stock DC2 on their Premo hit-list, at the very least. Give us some decent visual mods and we can recreate the Spoon.
There is a no "room" problem facing Standards.

There is plenty of space, since GT6 isn't anywhere near filling a dual layer Blu Ray disc.

Am I missing something? I thought PD had used up all the potential of the PS3, and you are telling me there is plenty of space? I don't get it. :S

I think you misunderstand the reason why they still exist.
The reason why they exist is that there just hasn't been the development time to upgrade them all to premium. Apparently it takes 6 months to do a premium model. 1200 cars. You do the maths...
Zip to do with technical limitations of the PS3.

Yikes, I'd kind of forgot just how horrible the standard cars looked. While I'm glad they are cleaning them up I would hope a GT game on the PS4 isn't saddled with these old assets. I cannot imagine seeing a car model on the PS4 with texture quality like this. That license plate texture should be a little embarrassing for PD.

As our esteemed mod has pointed out, the PS3 wouldn't be able to handle the premiums it already has if what you are saying is true.@bodger Very interesting, I have always thought the reason that there are standards is because there is not enough power on the PS3, I have been living a lie.
If it is disc space you are referring to, eventually that would become a restricting factor, but it isn't anywhere near hitting that limit yet. There is also the double disk thing that GT2 did, or DLC to overcome that anyway.

Two of my favorite cars are still standards that haven't been touched up. CRX looks worse than MR2 up close

Are the wheels staggered on the MR2 or is it just the angle of the picture?

You can equip standard cars with new bumpers, aero parts, hoods and lights? Or is the same in GT5, just rear spoilers and wheels?Two of my favorite cars are still standards that haven't been touched up. CRX looks worse than MR2 up close

Wheels aren't staggered. Its the same upgrades as GT5, spoilers and wheels. You could also remove the factory spoiler from cars. Cant remember if you could do that in GT5

No. In GT5 we cant remove the factory spoiler.

Great shot!
I love the CRX! First thing I'll do is to sell the goddamn Fit and buy one of these. Starting GT with a brand new car just feels so wrong. Old beaters ftw. And I'm loving the stance on it, the meaty tires

Well technically you can...but not in legitimate ways...
