Since "Premium" cars are standard on Prologue, I think it would be much more logical to have "standard" and "sub-standard".
I think that is a good point... we all know naming makes a huge difference (remember when mcdonalds removed their "Small" option on drinks so their smallest drink size was regular? It was the same size, they just called a different name so you would think it was a better value) and they have done a smart thing with this whole ordeal.
What did we all really expect in GT5? What did we all "know" was coming? We expected 1000 cars that looked like every trailer and picture we had seen. THAT is the GT5 standard.
Remember all those rounds of smack talk about Froza's crappy looking cars? What was that compared against? GTP and expected GT5 graphics right? THAT is the GT5 standard.
Remember all those drool inducing pictures that would be fawned over like a rockstar surrounded by teenage girls? THAT is the GT5 standard.
Anything less than that should really be called "sub par".
Now look at it that way - Gt5 has 200 standard cars and 800 sub par cars.
Be truthful with yourself, that's really what it should be called. And when you say it that way it much more accurately fits the feeling of the situation.
[/B]even if its only 200 of them that is the Real GT5 Those standard cars are just a bonus which i will enjoy.
So the real GT5 only makes up 20% of the roster? So you are saying GT5 is 80% not real GT5?
Gotcha.
And make note, you HD guys, you can probably play the game any way you want, including ignoring all Standard content, except possibly online.
If GT mode consists solely of 200 premium cars, consider that a HUGE fail. Almost up there with no GT mode in GTPSP.
And what kind of a qualifier is "except possibly online". So it's ok becuase I can enjoy all of GT (assuming GT mode consists solely of 200 premium cars) except online races in the instance that the race uses one of the cars that makes up 80% of the game.
Ok sounds ace!
No, you forget how this all started at last year's TGS, when it was let slip out that there would be 200 Premium cars with fully modeled interiors and high detail car models, and then 800 Standard models in lesser detail. We argued over that for weeks and weeks, saying things like the interiors must not take damge, or the standard cars take damage at all.
I think it is you who has forgotten or only selectively remembered:
*models included
1,000 vehicles
170 Premium new models (full interior modeling, the interior corresponds to vehicle damage)
830 kinds of standard model (some are from Gran Turismo 4 that have been carried over to GT5)
Nowhere does it say exterior detail will be different. In no interview was this mentioned, in no video was this shown, it was not even hinted at.
BTW that is called a lie of omission when you know for a fact how important such a thing will be.
