That's what Forza is for, surely? Shedloads of Porsches, and I can't control any of them. Take mine!

Actually, thinking about it, could Porsche have signed some kind of exclusivity with Microsoft over them putting Porsches in Forza but not GT5? I suppose it would have made more sense to go for Audi, what with the R8 being the headline Forza car.

They usually have Ruf.

RUF Automobile GmbH is a German automobile manufacturer. RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts, the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government. RUF is mostly known for their CTR Yellowbird, and is the biggest and most renown company to make Porsche performance enhancements. RUF has also made a name for itself as an automobile refiner, specialist in vintage restoration and rebuilds of classic RUF and Porsche automobiles. RUF also carries out service and crash repair.

Porsche have now signed a exclusive deal with EA and NFS so we wont be seeing them for a while, Kaz did say that they tried but for some undisclosed reason couldn't get them.

What amazes me more is that 800 standard cars have no interior what so ever.

That's just poor IMHO. So much for the real driving simulator. :(

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/gr...-2010-hands-on

That link seems to confirm no cockpit view for the 800 standard cars. Although they do have modelled unsersides, but only the 200 premium cars have amazing interiors.

Did you have to post this in two threads you numpty? :D :p
 
More details of the game will become available in August and it is then they are expected to announce the UK/Euro release date.

GDC 16th - 18th August
Regards the car numbers and cockpits, lets see how good the Premium models are when they are smashed to pieces, that might make up for the stories of Standard cars with no cockpit view.

I guess we will have to take the good with the bad...

Well that's 800 cars that I won't ever drive in the game then. Premium cars only for me.... :(

Why? Were the other GT games not good enough for you either?

No, but I had no choice in those games. I will always use cockpit view if it's available in racing games, and I will ignore any cars in GT5 that don't have a cockpit and just choose one that does. Sure, I'll be denying myself lots of cars but it would really niggle me playing some cars on cockpit view and others from bumper/bonnet cam.

Okay. :)

It's your choice but I think you're being a little bit silly about it! :o

Things like that really do niggle me though. The damage thing would annoy me too, I couldn't use a car knowing that there are 'better' ones I could choose with a cockpit and full damage modelling. I would honestly rather they didn't bother at all, they should have done all of them or none of them.

I appreciate it may seem silly to a lot of people though :o
 
I see where you are coming from DreXeL, it's going to lead to a strange experience, some cars get physical damage, others don't, and some have interiors and others don't.

Most strange if that's the route they are going to take. I wonder out of how many of those 200 premium cars are rally cars/NASCAR cars, as they all seem to have intricate dash boards and damage from the videos.

I totally agree with this
 
I'm not too bothered, I rarely use interior view, it's nice every now and again (be better with head tracking)..

I guess we will just have to live with Kaz's insane priorities.. lets wait and see how this quite inconsistent approach pays off..

Until confirmed, the inconsistencies are
1. Number of cars per track will vary (going by GT5p and various GT5 demos)
2. Rolling/Standing starts may be enforced at times, not at others
3. "Damage is not available in all races' comment from PD
4. obviously standard cars are without interior and proper damage.

If they at least allow 16 cars Multiplayer on all tracks, with standing starts, then I'm very happy.. I can live with the rest. :)
 
So some cars not have interiors at all? Or are they just less detailed? I don't mind if that is the case but I agree with the above.

PD have said they will probably use generic cockpits for those 800 cars, bit like GT PSP. So you can still use cockpit views,

1. Number of cars per track will vary (going by GT5p and various GT5 demos)
Small/narrow tracks less cars 16 players round London or Paris would be a bit mad
2. Rolling/Standing starts may be enforced at times, not at others
Explained before different starts for different race types as in real life
3. "Damage is not available in all races' comment from PD
Perhaps early beginer races its switch off ?
4. obviously standard cars are without interior and proper damage.
This is only exterior damage as such, they will still get dented, scratched etc but wont have bits fall off. Mechanical damage is the same for both types of cars
