Gonna be on a little later then I thought.... Going to take the kids and niece to see christmas lights and will be back within an hour..... If anyone is on I will join your room(Ghost).
Haven't visited the thread for a while, I've just been working on my A-spec level (closing in on lvl 20 here soon; still untouched for B-spec, I want the reward cars but almost don't care to work my way through this kind of mode; I didn't like it in GT4, I'd rather race myself). Anyway, I was skimming through the last several pages and wanted to chime in on this question below, I've seen it asked time and time again in my 10 years of playing Gran Turismo.
Can someone answer me this. I know its been around with the GTs even the GT-PSP before (and i've wondered about it, cussed & complained) but....
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY "SIR II EG CIVICS"?!?!?!?!
'91, '92, '93, '95?! (they might as well put in the '94)
What's the sense in having them all? They could have atleast put in a DA9/DA6 integra (and for all of us of course a CB3-Si ) instead and take out one of the four SIR II's.
The reason for having so many 'repeats' is because a) the team are big on Japanese cars, Kazunori is an especially huge Nissan freak; and b) it's simple. Making different versions of the same car requires no extra graphic modeling (therefore it wouldn't matter if there were a hundred EG Civics, removing 99 of them wouldn't make room for a single DA Integra), but simply tweaking the cars' performance parameters a bit for different spec levels. Jeremy Clarkson once reviewed GT4 saying they accurately distinguished the slight differences between, if I remember right, the Merc SL 500 and SL 600, "which is hard enough to do in real life." Being a car journalist for at least the last 30+ years or so (Top Gear's been around about that long anyway), you know he's driven every performance car on the planet and then some.
It only leaves me wondering why they didn't make all these 'duplicates' as Premium models when one was already done. Did the interiors actually change enough for Polyphony to want to avoid being unfaithful to their real-world counterparts?
It's kinda odd I haven't touched photo mode yet, I was nearly addicted to it in GT4:
