Will you be exclusively "premium" in GT6?

[Shirrako]

Well that's the point isn't it, if they have in fact updated as they said (and it looks somewhat like it) then this question shouldn't be needed. I myself have said if it has been updated beyond what we saw in GT5 I will most likely drive them more.

Seeing how they will be in the same dealership, the outside of the cars should all look premium, just the cockpit will be standard, i hope.

 

[Rob192005]

No where in what you quoted do I indicate that I'm buying it only because it's premium but due to the lack of actual updating done to the standards that just make them look like HD PS2 version. I have tons of favorite cars that are standard but I can't fully enjoy them through a shadow box or a roof cam that shows jagged edges and doesn't seem natural. It has nothing to do with being premium or standard but rather one being half-arsed and the other being far more realistic and immersed.

As for the XB1 I don't want one either, not sure where this came from.

I wasn't having a go at you sir.👍 I was just saying how I play the game. Also just suggesting that if it's there you might aswell use it or I will at least.

Problem is that really means nothing yet until we see it, PD have been vague in the past and given info on stuff to help us feel at ease only to find out the reality once the disc is in the tray. I myself hope that it looks premium, but just has a standard cockpit that isn't a shadow box.

Understood and thanks.

One of the best things about Gran Turismo (to me) is it's healthy collection of Japanese cars. I drive Standards at least 90% of the time in GT5. Now this would only change if my favs got that 'ol preme treatment. But I'm not expecting much.

Yeah I feel you on that cuz, There are so many great cars to drive for so many reasons it seems such a shame not drive them, even if it's for s^%ts and giggles. Hopefully we will see some improvement with the adoptive tessellation that PD are implementing

 

[05XR8]

Only Premiums for me. It sucks because I was counting on using the E63 and A45. I will have all the new (123) cars in my lock up. I doubt Ill collect the Stealth and TC (previous RM & TC DLC) cars. But, Yes Yes and Yes. ONLY Premiums for me.

 

[crowhop]

Thanks Dad for telling me how I think and feel because I prefer cars modeled to the highest standards.👎

You're welcome, son.

There was a guy on another board hailing FM5 for it's "all premium" car list. Of course it only includes 200 cars and GT6 will have over 400. But party on.

Why not just release the game with 400 premium cars only? I played GT4 for atleast 4 years! I bought GT5 because it was time for something new. Why would move on to a new generation to drive PS2 era cars that have less tuning options? Really loved my DB7 in GT4 but have only driven it about once in 5. It really felt out of place in GT5.

Some make it seem that the only difference is the cockpit. I always use roof/hood cam and was still annoyed by standards. When I first heard about standards in GT5 I expected them to look premium from the outside without a cockpit. That would have been more acceptable. What we have now are straight PS2 model ports. Not even some smooting of rough edges and it looks to be the same for GT6.

Mitsubishi Lancer Super Rally Car, FTO Super Touring, Delta S4, Yellowbird, etc...

Why would they limit the game in such a way? I'm not thrilled with many of the poor looking Standards and I wouldn't drive even half of them, but there are at least 50 that I will drive and I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

If we can confirm that the inclusion of the Standard cars actually prohibited PD from including some other feature(s), then questioning/disliking their inclusion is justified. But if not, it is simply whining because you didn't get your way. If you don't like them, don't drive them. It's as if the ones who dislike even the slightest thing about the game have to convince everyone they're right in order to feel justified (not necessarily directed at you, MK2).

 

[JohnScoonsBeard]

I'll try and drive everything in the game.

I don't see it as limiting anything. I played GT4 for a long time and had already driven most of the interesting cars. I understand your point about the 50 cars. Some of them should be in any car game if it was up to me, but atleast bring em up to PS3 quality from the outside. 400 cars plus 50 significant standards with primium quality exteriors sounds better than the game where 80% of the cars are stuck in 2004.

Never driven a standard NSX, R32, R33, R34 or any Miata because all of them have a premium version. Don't have to drive a standard midnight purple R34 when I can just paint a premium R34. PD should have never promised to ad 1000+ cars. Not adding the standards to GT6 would be better for review scores I believe.

As for not driving standards, PD forced me to drive standards to complete A-spec. Remember the Sport Trucks en FGT? I bought GT5 day one and remembered having to wait forever to get a truck (fixed it later). And what happens when do find that needed truck en win the Sports Truck races? You win a standard Daihatsu Midget! Not only in A-spec but in B-spec to. Kaz is so evil lol...

 

[steve30x]

No i wont be exclusively premium. I dont care if the cars I use are premium or standard.

 

[Jawehawk]

I race from cockpit view, so yeah. I'll be using premiums pretty much exclusively.

 

[eran0004]

It depends. I'll drive the cars I find the most enjoyable. In GT5 it's the Peugeot 106 and the RUF Yellowbird, but with the new suspension and tyre physics going on this may change in GT6. The Leaf, for instance, was a completely different car to drive in the GT Acaemy demo compared to GT6.

 

[Magic Ayrton]

One good reason I will be using more standards in Gt6 is simply because most of them in Gt5 weren't even accessible!

It's all sort of geared to make people buy the next one which annoys me.

This should have been a POLL!

 

[Nissan Cima]

If I actually buy the game I'll be a premium only driver... I haven't really been able to tell how they've supposedly "updated" the standard models but there is still a night & day difference between premiums and standards. Even though a surplus of my favorite cars are standard, it brings me no enjoyment to drive a car that looks like absolute garbage and is in fact insulting to the car and me as well. I still have my PS2 and GT4 so if I really want to drive a Lexus GS300 I'll dust it off.

The standard cars are nothing more than a way for PD to boost the car count past 1000 to use as a pathetic marketing ploy.

 

[priesty_lfc]

I'll be honest, my original thought on GT5 was to only use premiums but then I realised I was being a d*** lol.

Some of the standards rock, so I'll be using them in GT6 without a shadow of a doubt!

Like them or not, drive them or not, it's quite reasonable to feel that having them in the game at all is cheesy and unprofessional from an outfit like PD and Kaz, whom many herald as a "perfectionist". Standards are about as far from perfect as as you can get and are now another generation behind with the release of PS4. Their inclusion in the game is for one reason only IMO...to pad the car count.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

A good car to drive is a good car to drive. Period.
Considering less than half use the cockpit view, "premium v standard" is a silly exercise primarily pushed by folks who find anything and everything to complain about. They should be on Turn10's payroll for all their trolling efforts.

You haven't looked at the cars from GT1 or GT2 lately. I guess PD may as well use those assets too. NOT!

Using GT4 cars just to boost car count was a mistake from the moment whomever at SONY or PD hatched the thought.

 

[Lord Protector]

I will try my best to use premium cars only, but there's a lot of standard cars I love.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

I'm going to stick to only premium cars for the most part, but I might use standards here and there. While I am underwhelmed by standard cars because they're such old assets, I'm still curious to see how they drive with GT6's physics. But regardless, I'm a lot more excited to drive premium cars, even if there is a lower number of them.

If we can confirm that the inclusion of the Standard cars actually prohibited PD from including some other feature(s), then questioning/disliking their inclusion is justified.

You don't get to decide what
a good reason is for disliking them.

I especially agree with this. Eventually, PD are going to have to let these standard cars go and make a balanced and good car list completely out of premiums. I really hope GT6 is the last game we see them in. If we get standard cars on PS4, I will lose all hope for this series and I will no longer take it seriously.

 

[Traviizter]

I like to drive in cockpit view too, but I still use Standard cars since you can drive in cockpit with them (albeit less detailed, obviously). I think though, that in GT5 I used them less because they were so damn annoying to acquire. The cars I'd want would only come once in a blue moon, making me less likely to use them and just pop along to the Premium dealerships instead.
Since in GT6 they're all categorized in the same section now, and can be used for Photo Mode and deeper tuning/customization, I think I'm actually going to use Standards even more. There's just too many standards that I like to completely ignore them.

EDIT: Actually, I've just remembered that some of my favourite hatchbacks from the past few years are now in the game, as Premiums... maybe I won't use Standards much more after all, but I will still drive them sometimes.

 

[KWZX10]

The ucd was the biggest problem, a lot of my favorite cars are standard i use them a lot, but when you have to wait and hope to find one of them..you just go for premiums. Thankfully now it will be easier, just go and take that old alfa (random example ehe), drive it, have fun. More people will use them.
But honestly, i'll find myself using more premium anyway because of cockpit view.

 

[raven214]

It's interesting to read the different opinions on this. For myself, I will probably drive the standards more in GT6 than in GT5 since they will always be available at the dealership. I absolutely hated that the only way to get standard cars in GT5 was with the lottery system that was the UCD. Couple that with the reports I read of chassis/engine refreshes not working after multiple uses and I was timid to take out standards most of the time. I can put up with having to do oil changes but I'm not looking for GT-RPG - why include anything that only serves to discourage us from driving the cars?

Sorry for the rant. Anyway to get back on topic, as long as there are only standards for some of the cars I want to drive - namely RUFs, the Audi R8 LMS, and the closest thing to the Chevy Cruze (Pontiac Sunfire) - then I will continue to drive standards. Also, just because a car has an interior does not mean I will drive it. I shy away from any car that has the driver seat on the right - not because I'm trying to discriminate, but if I go down the road to my local dealership and buy a Civic the driver seat is on the left (I'm in the US). It completely breaks the immersion for me to be sitting on the wrong side in the game, not to mention it tends to screw up my driving line on corner entry. Now I realize this is the correct side for the "home version" of these cars and that's fine, but I'd really like to see the option of choosing your driver's side when you buy the car. At least I can dream.

 

[Umbra344]

Of course not. I like to use any kind of car. Even though most of my favorite cars were standards anyway. I use bumper cam so there is no difference to me. In GT5 the only premium cars I remember driving often were the Amuse S2000 GT1, the GT500 cars and early Skylines, I also remember using the ACR Viper alot.

 

[JackC8]

I vastly prefer the premiums but that doesn't keep me from buying tons of standards as well. A lot of them are just interesting / catch my eye while others are best suited for a particular race (especially with the seasonal events). I'm going to miss the rotating inventory in the UCD because it was always fun to stop in there and see what new stuff was available.

Having said that though, those octagonal wheel wells always make me a bit ill

 

[Gerarghini]

Premium since day 1.

Your circular reasoning is impeccable.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

@crowhop So is the idea that people who complain about PD are trolls, the same ideology could be reciprocated to say that your defending should have you on PD's payroll. It's an inane phrasing to suggest that any negativity is obviously a bias for something else. I'm a fan of GT and have been since 1 but I'm impartial about how I treat all racing games and I don't see why others aren't. It seems more don't want the fragile existence (not you just in general) of growing up with GT to be shattered and rather be ardent in defending or the opposite.

I just don't understand why folks are complaining there are too many cars in the game.
