- You want what for it!?
First things first, this not a wishlist.
This is just an idea that came to me whilst watching a movie (I forget the title but anyway). Basically there's a guy, and his friend owns this club that makes them fairly rich. He goes to an exotic car dealer to buy something exotic, obviously, and he can't decide on what to choose.
He is unimpressed by what is there, and is ready to leave when he spots a silver lamborghini Diablo parked nearby. He decides 'this is it' and rolls out of the dealership feeling very proud of his new toy.
Now, whilst that has nothing to do with GT in itself. The car struck me as the one I would probably pick out of the litter. And that got me thinking...
When you play a game for the first time, you're understandably gonna want to look around and get a feel for the game. So when we are faced with the GT world map for the first time, we're gonna see where everything is, how it's all layed out, and maybe peek into a few "aspirational" dealerships.
And generally the first country most players are gonna make a bee-line for, is the home of the Raging bull and Prancing Stallion, Italy. Now I would go out on a limb to say that 99% of people who play GT are going to recognise Ferrari when they see it, and they'll probably check that out first before moving on to its sparring partner, Lamborghini.
Flicking through those cars makes you go, Woah, I want one of those! And then you save up until you can buy one, whether it seems to help your game or not
Now, as we all know. This is going to be a huge step forward in regards to the GT series. In recent times, we have seen quite alot unfold.
We will get Damage, Weather (Dynamic or not), NASCAR, Indy, WRC, Super GT and, as previously mentioned, some very special manufacturers thrown in for good measure. + Much more.
Now on the basis of keeping this as simple as possible. (which is failing impeccably may I add) I want to know what you think will be the dominant car will be in GT5. By Dominant I mean becoming the vehicle of choice for most casual gamers as well as the more commited types. Whilst this might not apply to everyone, I think it will be interesting to find out which car we'd choose in advance, for both online and offline racing.
My personal opinion is most people will sway in favour of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Why? Based on many things. Firstly, and maybe most importantly, it is a Lambo. Which means every man and his dog knows what it (generally) is. And that is is fast. Secondly, it boasts very high numbers in terms of power and torque. Also now that we have weather, I believe it's going to change this game for good. Especially so if it's dynamic. Remembering that Lambos have all-wheel drive, the choice for a car in the wet becomes sooooo much easier. Playing GT4 in the wet recently reminded me of this as I pasted numerous Callaways and the like in my stock suby wagon from a decade ago. Mainly because the suby was AWD and so easy to drive in the wet. An all wheel drive that goes like a fezza in the dry seems like a logical choice, considering that an Audi R8 V10 is also AWD but has less power. The only thing I see coming close in terms of performance is the GT-R, but it is only a Nissan. And my grandma drives a Nissan...
My only example from GT5P would be the Amuse S2000. Around Suzuka you'd be hard pressed to find a race without half the grid being made up of the things, because they are just so damned fast and easy to drive.
This might be another thread that dies, but so long as I got it out there.
As I said it was just an idea, but one that I think we can all relate to.
I apologise for any grammar errors, but it is 2am here and I have a bandaid on my finger. FYI the only reason I'm posting here at 2am was because my cat got sick and I can't go back to sleep.
I also apologise for such a long post, for those who read it all, I would like to hear your views as to what you think.
