And that's the exact reason why I wouldn't be too suprised to see both tiers seperated. Or at least an option to have them mix and mingle on the track or seperate them frome eachother.

No, the stubborn 10 year-olds will refuse to use standards, rather than taking advantage of the massive variety of cars to use.

For a series whose fans have always been the first to trumpet GT's graphics compared to other games - and I did it myself when GT3 looked better than PGR - a lot of people are happy to accept the last-gen standards.
Of course, not everyone on the site will be a graphics w****, but it marks a sea change in the series for it to have graphical compromises, especially when they are 4:1 in favour of standards.

Stream:
standard vs premium:
-IF opt1 "topic standards discuss over FM3"
or "bashing over silly things"
or "whining about,Epic Rage"
-Then opt1
IF opt2 "discuss over standard vs premiums itself"
or "actually discuss over GT on topic related"
-Then "move on"
We are about to get into the cycle again just a couple of post more...

I don't see too much difference between "standard" and "premium." I'm not really a car freak, so I'm probably more like the guy on the street. I'm sure when I get the game, I'll enjoy the ride for what it is, and hardly recognize the difference between the two. Heck, I've seen that screenshot of the standard prototype, and couldn't point out the difference.
That is why if the two are separated, I'll probably shy away from the game. What's the point of having over 1,000 cars if everybody drives the same 200 online? I know 200 is still a lot, but it's going to get boring for a lot of people, and then where else do you go? What if some want to race standards and some premiums? It just doesn't make sense that PD would go all though getting a thousand or more cars in the game, and then having "tiers" for them to race separately.
"Let them race together" is what I say. Enjoy it for what it is, a game/simulation; not real life.

I bet theres a massive ammount of people who aren't going to use the cockpit view anyway.
W/O cockpit view I don't really see the differance.

That's the world of the GT fans for you... they are many and highly adaptable and often only show up when they are happy about something, then kind of shy away and dissapear into the woodwork elsewise.
For instance, the graphics whores who laughed at anyone else becuase GT was gonna have "1000 cars in 1080p 60FPS locked 3D" etc etc etc have kind of dissapeared now and are replaced by an overall less flamboyant, but equally devout group who are happy to be forcefully supportive in whatever realm is the way of the day...

Well not quite. I can assure you that GT5 will still please most if not all graphics whores out there. I know because I'm one of them. Sure, it would be even better if all cars were premium but those 200 ones are enough to please even the most demanding ones I guess.
I mean, there's just nothing like them. They are the best car models a game has ever seen. Which graphics whore would not like them?

Yes Sir!! The game is just beautiful and even though we have standard cars which don't compare to the premium graphically This doesn't bother me at all, Yes i would of loved all cars to be Premium, however Im glad I still can drive those standard cars thats more important to me they will all have GT5 physics. I just don't understand when people say they rather have 200 cars.

Even I'll agree, this isn't the place for religious talk.
Actually on-topic: a quote from Flourescent, who by all accounts seems like a cool dude, but I jsut want to use this for a point (from another thread, but wholly appropriate):
How many other game series producers must be wishing, no, dreaming, that they could have a fanbase like this. They will actively trade down, go a step backwards, to "train" to get ready for the fact the majority of the cars are going to be GT4 carryovers. Look; the Premiums are going to be considered bonuses!
There is no such thing as a negative, it would seem.

Do you take one or two of your forum battles and assume that generalizes the entire world?

My only real bother with the standards I guess is if they're similar in quality to GT4's photomode output at a higher resolution, the only benefit of them to a photomode junkie like myself is when I'm shooting them. If they're not much improved once on my memory stick, there's not really much need to drive any of them as I've got images of all the cars that interested me in GT4 already.

I will once again point out to this screencap.
This looks like Standard to me.
without doubt premium.. just look at the safety lace on the bonnet and the light. Just a bad image of a premium car... and it's also new nissan gtr, not present in gt4 neither in gtpsp and all other gtr from supergt are premium.
