Gran Turismo 5 list of cars............sigh....

[funksobeefy]

oh hell yeah! My car is in there! Honda PRELUDE SiR '96

I cant wait to get this game.

So let me see - that statement, in your mind, equates to the OP saying:

"OH MY GOD EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS GAME ISN'T COMPLETELY ORIGINAL"?

Oh dear...

Well to be honest, it's either complaining that the game copies and pastes stuff or complaining that their personal favorite cars aren't involved. I didn't think someone would rage so much when there's about 1,000 cars to choose from to be honest, but lo and behold, this thread exists.

No, he said that car is unchanged.

You seem to exaggerate quiet a bit.

That was kind of the point of my whole post. Something like a few cars not being in it shouldn't keep a person from shelling out $60 over something they were almost definitely going to shell $60 over for anyways.

I thought I saw a tentative car list a while back that had several racing Porsches on it. I'd have been happy to see that, even if they didn't get any production Porsches on the list. Man, this is the same complaint I had with GT4. How can you have an encyclopedic car game and not include the winningest car manufacturer in Le Mans history, but still have 40 Hondas. Absurd.

Full disclosure: don't have a PS3, so my ire doesn't affect sales one way or the other.

Something tells me that DeLorean isn't on that list.

That's really the only car I wanted.

Oh, it's in there. It's not an original 80's model, rather one of the more recent ones produced by DMC, but it's in there.

OT: I'm not too disappointed. Yeah, there are a ton of Jappo-cars, but considering I actually like Nissans (Skylines and Fairlady Z's especially) and have a minor love for Hondas (NSXs and Integras) and Mitsubishis (Evos and... more Evos) that's not a problem for me. Besides, at least GT has a DeLorean, whereas Forza has never had one (and that DLC for FM3 that was supposed to have one seems to have been canned for all I can tell).

And you didn't say that the first time instead of "OH MY GOD EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS GAME ISN'T COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. TOTALLY NOT BUYING IT NOW" why exactly?

You should read the forum rules again - the part about contributing to discussion.

Sorry, I should've realized that sarcasm on the Internet doesn't work at all. I just don't understand why anyone would be so upset over something so trivial, it's not like Gran Turismo 5 has a tiny selection of cars.

I'm sure you're always an upstanding citizen and always contribute every time you can, but I'm not here to hate.

There seems to be an awful lot of incredibly bland cars in that list. Is this just so they can boast "we have X number of cars in our game, thats 3 times as much as any other game". I get the impression they did. Maybe you could have streamlined the list so the game doesn't get set back months and months? Just saying...

 

[Tom. The Taxidermist =]]

Hey! An '86 MR2! I drive an '86 MR2!
Hey! Laguna Seca Raceway! I LIVE near Laguna Seca Raceway!

... Yeah, I'd end up totaling my car on the first turn, but I can dream, can't I?

 

[Ziltoid]

Pretty sure Porshe is not in the game because EA owns exclusive rights to that brand for any video game and they expect way too much money from Polyphony for them to be able to put it in there.

 

[blind_dead_mcjones]

i don't see what the fuss is about, list seems alright to me, i could complain about the 1970's citroen DS not being included, that would be rather dumb considering it has the holden monaro, lamorghinis, the lancia delta and lancia stratos, the jag XJ220, mclaren F1, TVR grittith 500, the shelby cobra 427, and several other amazing cars

also do take into consideriation that probably had to drive each and every one of those models to get the handling right, in which case no wander the game took as long as it did

methinks you're sounding rather spoilt

 

[SquadronAce]

I think instead of giving us 22 different types of mx5 they could have just given us 3 and released the game bit fucking sooner

Once again, I am forced to remind you of the rules: if you have nothing of worth to contribute, please refrain from posting.

We like to keep our forum positive and full of interesting ideas.

If you wish to address me, that is what personal messages are for.

Just since we're throwing out Forum rules, you never pointed out to the OP that his thread has no discussion point at all.
Which is pretty much rule one of the forums anyway.

Also, for the Porsche fans.

 

[General_Potatoes]

do people really need that many cars. won't you only use like 5 or 6 of them? its not worth it getting them all and of you do end up getting them all, the only thing i can say is you wasted your time.

IMO the developers seem at least to me to be demonstrating an enormous Japanese bias. Look up Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Nissan. Those are like 50% of all the cars in the fucking game. Fuck Subaru has more cars on there than Audi does.

Yes, the skyline was a good car... Did we REALLY need 41 versions of it? (I counted).
But oh, we get 7 Lamborghinis to make up for 41 fucking skylines.

There's representing the home team and then there's blatant, flag waving nationalism. There isn't even a fucking single Porsche in this game. Like... the thing is, this game has been in development for a long, long time and you've had some very eagar fans waiting. They expected after all the delays that this game was going to be god damn perfect. It was going to fulfill any and everyone's driving fantasy. And you know what? If your driving fantasy involves a skyline then I guess they fucking have you covered. But how can you ignore Porsche, they're one of the most iconic names in European race history.

I predict Needs more skylines will be the meme of 2011.

edit:
And another thing, saying there is 1031 cars is bullshit. All those skylines are not going to have their own models, they're just going to drive slightly differently. My reaction is basically: "We waited for this?"

That claim of 1031 cars certainly does seem artificially inflated, especially when they count the same car, but painted purple, as a different car.

736 S Nissan SKYLINE GT-R (R34) '99
737 S Nissan SKYLINE GT-R (R34) '00
742 S Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Special Color Midnight Purple II (R34) '99
743 S Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Special Color Midnight Purple III (R34) '00

Does it really need 4 separate entries for one car that was sold in two consecutive years and painted purple, regardless of how special that colour may be?
