Has anyone seen the Audi Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline '37? I am not one to normally speak about "standards" like this but I personally find that one to be one of the worst I have seen so far. Edges are not very smooth (obviously) and I am not sure I remember the car being so dull in color in GT4 as well.

It's the most messed up car on the game. Something went very wrong when porting from GT4.

I'm guessing that confirms no premium for the Option Stream ZStill better than the real thing!!

Well it's not like they're undrivable just because they look bad. I got no problems using a standard as long as it drives like the real car does. But I don't see why PD can't go around and ask if there's any fans who are good at modeling to hire. I bet there are some guys here who can at least help with modeling or something. But why dump the cars? They still drive accurately so what's the point? It just gives us less variety, and that's a no-no in my book.

How many standards are in the game? Roughly 800. How many cars did you suggest I said to get rid of? 800
Where did I ACTUALLY say to get rid of all of those cars?
The only thing you could say I was specific about is the car in post #1887(because that's where this current discussion started) and going from there you could also infer all the cars that look as terrible as it.
I wasn't speaking in code.
nice edit

It's not a stupid mentality at all when PD is going to have to do one of those things at some point. Maybe not for GT6 but on GT7/PS4 and beyond, they're going to have to do something different. And I wouldn't exactly call all of them perfectly fine. Some will agree that standard cars are hurting the overall quality of the game.

It doesn't hurt to have the standards in. So what if they don't look that great? At least they drive accurately and they can all be tuned up as well. I personally don't care if they look bad, most of them look fine from a distance in game, it's only in photo mode that you can really see the sloppy PS2 textures. But whatever, it's a quantity over quality thing, but the standards still drive like their real life counterparts and that's what's important to me.

You quoted @Custom878, who said 800 cars in reference to the standards. By saying "dump the cars", you are explicitly referring to the 800 standards he spoke of.
This isn't a future discussion. We're talking about now, in GT6, where it isn't holding the game back. They're cars, they work, they do what they're supposed to, just because they aren't in stunning HD quality doesn't kill the game. We still get about the same amount of premium cars as Forza 5, but we have 800 more to play with.

This dude gets it. GT isn't about looking good, it's about the driving experience.

GT manages to get both aspects rather well. We have a ton of beautiful cars, who cares if some haven't had multiple weeks spent on the modelling? We have plenty of astounding premiums that GT can be proud of.

Yeah. That would explain why GT3 made such a huge jump in graphics and only has 150 cars. And that's just one example. Don't sit there and tell me GT isn't trying to do both.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. If you enjoy standard cars, more power to you. I personally don't since I prefer cockpit view, so I drive exclusively premium cars in GT6. Plus, I don't enjoy seeing old, rehashed content from a whole generation ago. It's good that the cars are there for people who like them, but I personally think they were put there ever since GT5 as a crutch for PD until can give us a good amount and selection of premium cars, which just exposes their weakness of lack of manpower.

Welllllll.......... GT is about trying to look good.
Because otherwise, PD wouldn't have messed with the Standards at all.Having had some fun with that though, I'm solidly in "keep the Standards" camp. Many of my favorite cars are still oogly Standards. Most of my Photo Mode pics in GT5 are of Standards.
Yes, but there was a lot of lamenting about that tiny car and track count compared to GT2. Many of us kept going back to GT2 for "dessert" for a year or so because of the huge car and track list, as well as Race Mod. I had Bleemcast, which made the game look much better, so I had my own version of sub-Premiums.

The interior is even worse! I don't expect standards with the open interior to look "perfect" of course, but the interior on that car looks awful in my opinion, even for a standard.
On top of all that, is it just me or have I noticed that when driving it that when you steer, the drivers hands move like normal but the steering wheel doesn't move at all?

Now that I think about it...Will the premium cars in this game be considered "standard" in GT7?
I'm hoping for a cut in roster of cars actually in lieu of greatly detailed cars.
Especially the duplicates.

Yes. It's ridiculously messed up.

The Streamline is the only the standard that really bothers me to be honest.

I'll def give PD the benefit of the doubt here, this HAS to be a mistake or something. As if someone on the team accidentally left the original texture from GT2 on the car or something. Yikes.
