"Standards" the good, the bad and the ugly

For cars designed for inclusion in a game released a decade ago, they manage to have a great attention to detail despite their lesser textures and polygons compared to the new for GT5/GT6 machines.
 
I honestly thought standards couldn't get worse. Then I stumbled among these:

And that's why full coverage textures are a no go, even on PS3 still - there just isn't the texel count available.

The carbon fibre "effect" is achieved with a small tiling texture applied through a shader on PS3, but I guess they couldn't do that on PS2. If you try to tile a "normal" texture, you get a polygon for each tile...
 
Some standards look awesome and others are ok but even then these should not be included on GT7 for PS4. I know it is an option for players to use or not to so there is no harm. But IMO it is better to have detailed interior on all cars and all cars should get same treatment.
 
If PD was more open with us about the conversion from Standard->Premium I would be perfectly satisfied. Just throw up a post and we vote on the ones we want to see updated first, and they simply check their way down the list. So we end up having the power to decide the list, and they have the power to add/remove resources to accomplish the list. We all understand (hopefully we do) that it does require a serious effort to upgrade hundreds of cars, so I wont care if PS4 gets standards, as long as they commit to continue to provide great quality new rides as often as they can.

But here's a question for us, would you pitch in dollars/yen/euros/etc to help fund this process quicker? If you knew that it would take them 5 years to do them all, how much would you pay to get it done in 2 years? The game is not all that expensive in my opinion, if I was asked to pay a small monthly fee for all the new vision cars, extra special races they throw in, I wouldn't hate them for it. So I've always been able to keep in perspective that they might not be incredibly fast with content, but I also don't have to keep paying out for the content.

That's what I want to say.. and just look this Thread↓↓↓

i thought pd would be rolling in it. they sell loads of games. nearly everyone i know has at least one gt game, even the non-racing game fans.

also, looks like pd is making a legacy ps1 game :crazy: :lol:
 
i'm quite surprised the 400r isn't premium

i don't see why they can't copy and paste the premium cars and do a bit of modification to make all similar cars to premium one premium too. all the r34s should be premium because there already are 2 that are.
