"Standards" the good, the bad and the ugly

[Zlork]

Just because it's not eye candy for the masses, doesn't mean that the cars don't work


psst: All those come from GT4

Yes, but these 3 cars isn't in GT5

 

[Super1600]

Yes, but these 3 cars isn't in GT5

so?
They're a straight port, like the rest of the untouched standards. And they show, if PD semi premium'd theese you would be complaining about some other 3 cars that weren't semi premium

 

[sid_chiclana]

Yeah, this car is unstable even in real life

Scary stuff!

 

[glassjaw]

In terms of being a car and working, which is what this game is about, they are. I care more about there being cars than having a handful that are in super quality.

The way a car looks is just as important as how it feels when you're making a simulation, when achieving photorealism as well as physical realism is the primary goal. My my, you apologists really need to wake up. Name one other game that has done what GT6 and GT5 have done with respect to a profound generational gap in car quality. There's a reason developers don't do this.

Look at the ridiculous level of detail PD has put into premium cars, the way they tout the advancements they've made with regards to HDR lighting and adaptive tessellation, and the consistent inclusion of a photo mode in the last three games in the series. You really think "being a car and working" is all Gran Turismo is about?

Looks like a tire blew up.

 

[eSZee]

I own a 4th gen. Legacy in real life and I'm very disappointed with how awful they look in GT6. So much, that I don't even want to drive them. The windows on those models look terrible as well.

Dude! A modded Legacy is serious fun. Bumper cam and you never have to look at it.

Judging by the percentage of content that looks terrible, it might be more likely than you think.

"I think this might look like a car if you squint"

"Quick, put it in the game!!!"

 

[Brutaka]

The VW Nardo has a very decent modeled interior from the outside.

I might make an exception. Getting it in black though.

Erm. Why didn't you take a picture with GT6 instead of a potatoe?

 

[deadbob777]

@ProjectWHaT maybe his potato means a lot to him!

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Id rather tge interior like this, than a black void.

Well at least we now know what the interior of standards come GT7 is gonna be

 

[eSZee]

I'm on a quest to buy every wagon in the game. The Stagea and Legacy, both of them, have been a blast so far.

 

[deadbob777]

@eSZee not sure if you consider it a wagon, but the Toyota Caldina GT4 is brutal fun, then there is of course the Volvo, and, and the boring RS4

 

[Brutaka]

It was a watermelon for your information.

The last time i tried to import it via usb it didn't download to my Laptop correctly so i didnt feel like going through the hassle if it didn't work

I've got the Volvo but put a terrrrrible tune on it, gave it -10* camber all around, CH tires and went drifting on the 'ring...I can't drift.

I really liked the Altezza Gita / IS Sportwhatever in GT5, not sure of it in GT6 now, but it's certainly not bad. It doesn't have the "improved" exterior of the other Altezzas / ISs, though.

What apologists? We ain't apologizing for 🤬. I honestly don't really care about standards and premiums, just that they are available to drive. People I feel are just getting too anal nowadays.

First world problems galore.

This.

Games like this (physics aside), live off of the quantity of content. It's all very well that you have cars which look amazingly pretty, but if you only have a small amount, people are gonna get bored really fast. I fail to see how the argument that the cars looking good is enough to keep you playing the game, because it simply isn't.

What other game (barring past GT games) lets you have buy a factory-produced Nissan Sileighty? Or an IS300 Sportwagon? A Mini Marcos? All the Kei cars? If you took them out just because they look a bit jagged in places (despite them working perfectly anyway), you would get such a backlash from fans about it. You only have to look at the Forza 5 forums to see that effect.

Excuse me? We're anal because we want all of the cars to be of the same quality...just like in every other racing game in existence?

I drive exclusively premium cars in GT6 and I'm far from bored with the game. Not to mention GT3 is my favorite GT game, despite the low number of cars it has. So I couldn't disagree more.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

That wasn't what I was saying. In some cases, I can understand; some people only use premiums since they have cockpit views and only use that view, or have certain aesthetic mods which they like which don't show up on standards, which is fair enough. The point I was making however, was that certain people flat out state they'd rather have less content so that they can gawp at the better-modelled cars; how one can find that fun is beyond me.

 

[SVX]

To be honest, I'd rather PD continue to upgrade standards to premiums, instead of taking them out and waiting for them to be put back. Even if they're not perfect, I still want to be able to drive them.

[Buck-O]

Yeah, this car is unstable even in real life

Not really, he had a tire delaminate at 200 MPH, he was lucky he held it for as long as he did, and the accident wasnt far far worse.

 

[deadbob777]

Does anyone have a list of Standard cars that can get unpainted carbon hoods?

 

[Devil240Z]

Yeah, this car is unstable even in real life

didnt' it crash cause a tire blew.

Mikhail K where are you? we miss you

 

[CeeJay]

Glad PD cleaned the 3000GT cars up a little bit. They were one of my favorites when I first started playing GT. I hope in the next round of clean up they rid the cars of these GT4 era pixels though. I love using photomode and seeing these huge pixels drives me crazy!

May the gods bless you on your righteous quest good sir.
