I know this is nothing new, but i just don't understand, why this car ins't in GT5p, why was it shown to us and then not included, I mean maybe this could be in an update, or most likely in GT5, along with that Nissan r33 skyline, that has been in so many trailers and stuff.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Yeah im also missing it, the car friggin owns.
They even showed it in GTHD Concept....

 

[craste]

yes it STUPID them not including it.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Depends on what issue they might had with the car while developing, but a short minded person like... hm you, might not understand this.

 

[Tenacious D]

Kazunori might have also wanted to respect the other race cars by not having yet one more race car alone in Prologue, as they did with Ferrari's Formula 1. And keep in mind, there's a remote possibility of a Spec IV update after GT5 news at E3.

By the way, just three more weeks...!

 

[frank-jaeger]

Well ,he already said that there was a lot of the racing aspects(Here I mean race cars alone) missing and that he didn't want to include it until it was done well !

We already had a glimpse of the car cockpit in the E3 07 trailer and it's just WOOOOOOOW

This made me remember the Nissan GT-R Black Mask that is only available on one of the S tests (GT5P) if I remember correctly, just to be view as an oponent. I would like to drive that car too.

A trailer of that car racing, viewed from its cockpit?. Link please !

 

[Kryz11]

The reason is because they don't wanna give all cars they made for Prologue players. By the time we had 70+ cars in SPEC III update, I bet PD had double or triple the car numbers.. They just wont give us all of them. Same thing goes with Race Tracks.

They don't want to spoil us, as well its good because now I can't wait to play the FINAL product.

 

[Aero-R]

Exactly. I still remember those cars that were included on the NTSC-USA version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue before its release.. but they never saw the light. I hope to see them on Gran Turismo 5.

But why? It's just a GT-R with a tarp.

 

[Mustangmiha]

Xanavi 350z is on GT5P Demo.

 

[Aero-R]

I was curious about its handling, maybe on that state the car had another feeling, who knows.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Xanavi 350z is on GT5P Demo.

No, who told you that?
The Black Mask was, until the official GT-R reveal.

 

[Scaff]

Xanavi 350z is on GT5P Demo.

No, the only race car on the demo was the Rally spec Celica.

[G.T.Ace]

That was not in the GT5P Demo but in GTHD Concept.

 

[Scaff]

Doh - you are of course correct.

Sorry about that.

[Kinetic]

Yeah the black mask is the lead car on the S-6 i think or S-8 whichever is the Ferrari F40 Overtaking on Suzuka.

If anything it should be worse due to the aero's being worse but its probably the same

 

[Jay]

The R33 was shown in all the pre release pictures leading upto release, suddenly at release we got a R34 instead (which was never shown in pre release pictures), it seems they switched them.

The Nismo Xanavi Z Super GT car was first shown off at the Nismo festival where a replay video was recorded of it going around Eiger, then later it was in trailers but never in any playable form (to the public) and the Black mask was drivable in the GT5P demo before they unveiled it (if you have the demo you can still drive it).

 

[Watevaman]

As a few others have said, it was probably left out because they didn't want to just throw one race car in and have it be really lonely.

 

[-ultraflow-]

What about the Lexus SC430 Super GT Bandai Dunlop???

 

[G.T.Ace]

Yep, that one is missing too.
Cant wait to drive both in GT5!

i dont get why poly develops so many JGTC cars... the organization for the racing group is crap.... its like the spec miatas... nobody cares except the japanese and few americans who are into anything japanese related... i dont like the engineering of the cars, enough of the 1000 JGTC cars and 1023123 rx7/skyline models.

They're fun to drive, and are a little bit above spec Miatas in terms of performance.


Not much, just, say, hundreds of horsepower.

👍

Or dont forget Polyphony is a japanese company, maybe is the reason why they like the racing japanese cars.

I'd rather see all those nifty JGTC cars than all those lame NASCAR cars, TBH!

I love JGTC/Super GT cars, they are fast, brutal, exotic and unique.
I hate that they dont show it in German television. 8(

Because most of us happen to like those JGTC cars. We do like BTCC, DTM, Touring, ALMS, Rally and so on too, so maybe Kaz and the lads will give them some more love this time.

I'm with you. People have to realise that there's way too much skylines (lancers, civic....etc) and some are almost the same but with a little variant (special color, limited edition....etc) It doesn't make sense but anyway its just my thoughts about that

 

[G.T.Ace]

It doesnt hurt to have 10 just slightly different Skylines for example.
Lets say you have a normal GT-R R33 and a Midnight Purple Special Edition R33, it doesnt take much time to develope the M.P. Skyline for the devs, but fans of the car can still take a ride in it. I also liked all the classic Japanese cars, i didnt even knew a lot of them before.

 

[Tenacious D]

Besides the "zillion" Skylines argument being old as dirt, what you guys should be asking for are the same thing in Mustangs, Corvettes, BMWs, Mercedes etc. More is always better than less.
