Argh, my eyes, they're so ugly with their lack of interiors!

Im sure Kaz just wanted them to look more Gansta with blacked out windows init.
In an ideal world all 1000 cars would be all the same detail, but i think they wanted to release this game sometime this decade, still if 800 cars look as good as Foza 3 ones apart from the cockpit then its not so bad. The premium cars are just drool worthy think ill need a bib to use those cars.

I've only just found out that it has kart racing


WOW

The one part that I'm not interested in, in the slightest. Hopefully it's not compulsory for game advancement...

Same here. This and the B-Spec team management features. Has there been any confirmation you can transfer your GT PSP garage into GT5? I remember reading that it was a feature some time ago but no idea if that still stands.

I'm looking forward to the kart racing. Good idea to include it IMO and there's a reason behind it too rather than just being shoehorned in.

I'm still confused, Out of the 1000 cars are they saying that 200 will let you drive from any view (bumper/cockpit/overhead etc) and the other 800 will have all the views minus the cockpit one? Or are they saying 200 will heavy super detailed cockpit views and the other 800 will have a less super/generic/gt4 cockpit view?

I dont know about it being a bad thing.
Perhaps the combination of the track builder and karts could be massive fun. It should if nothing else offer really close racing on small tracks. Reports from the show was that they were really fun to drive. Add in the head tracking (which wasnt on show at Gamescon) and these little karts should be great craik on a twisty little circuit for 10 laps or so.

200+ will be super juicy with cockpits.
Some hardcore fan has bound to of been aleady creating a list of Premium cars shown in screens or videos.
Anyone seen such a list posted anywhere before?

800+ will not have cockpits and be standard cars.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Who actually uses the cockpit view as their main camera while driving anyway?

I personally couldn't.

I think all cars will have a cockpit view, but the standard model cars will have a blackened rudimentary-modelled interior.

No cockpit 'camera' at all for non-premium cars.

and that despite their best efforts to respond to criticism about standard car interiors, they were not able to implement cockpit camera (even one similar to GTPSP’s) in GT5

Wasn't saying it was a bad thing, just not for me. Like drifting events in games, hold no interest for me, and are always skipped if possible.

it limits visibility so much, i usually prefer the bumper cam meself!

 

[rp2000]

Cheers, I always use a chase cam anyway, was just confused so wanted clarification. Won't make no difference to me anyway.

The seem to have announced a lot of content in the last few days, and it sounds really good. As long as too many races don't have mandatory Rolling starts, it all sounds great!!

Damn, to not have even a basic cockpit for the standard cars annoys me. I only race in cockpit view as I prefer the position and find the other views not very realistic. I'm still going to hold of judgement until we know the full list of premiums and standard. I just hope that the premiums are simply not cars like the Ferraris/zondas etc but also include BMWs, Audis, Ford Focus' etc... as I like my racing in the slower cars not the super duper exotic ones.

 

[dillingerdan]

I don't like **** pit, seems wierd to me. Since I sit with my wheel, and have my own eyes, I'd say the screen should be the windscreen for ultimate immersion. With rain and wipers and cracks if you crash, that seems more logical to me... I usually run Bonnet cam.

 

[Paul_cz]

Is this going to run in 1080p at 60 frames ? Or less ?

I wonder if the driving experience will be better than in Shift, where it is amazing

I only drive with cockpit view, it is so freaking immersive..

 

[Mobius 1]

You can transfer it over to the arcade mode, but not GT mode.
