Of course not. They don't have a cockpit and how do you drive a car without a cockpit? By sitting on the roof?ZeroRay said:

GT4 happened.:lolreilo said:
Seriously, from what I've seen, standard cars range from "okay" to "yuck"
Apparently, that one fits the latter description.
Carlisle said:So uh...
I just got back from Gamestop in an attempt to preorder. Here is a brief transcript of my conversation with the store clerk.
Me: "Hey, I'd like to put down a preorder for Gran Turismo 5...."
Clerk: Ok.... [types types types]
Me: "....... for PS3"
Clerk: "Oh PS3? Ok. [types types types] Well I'm not seeing it in the system at all. I think it got pushed back."
Me: "Huh... well, I know it got pushed back a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's out next week. It says so on your website even."
Clerk: "Hmm, yeah I'm not seeing it. Believe me, I want to see it in here... I'd love to sell you a preorder, but it's just not in here. And that usually means there's no official street date or it's been pushed back again. I mean even Gears of War 3 is in here, but no Gran Turismo. Sorry man, I can't help you."
Me: "Oh... well ok thanks anyway"
This was right after I told the sales guy on the floor that I intended to preorder GT5 and he enthusiastically talked me into doing it right away cause "preorders are flying off the shelf."
So after stifling a mild bout of hysteria, I thought it through and determined that either he's an idiot, Gamestop is an idiot, my Gamestop isn't getting GT5 which makes them another idiot, or the least likely scenario: no one's an idiot and the clerk was right and we've all been duped again, in which case Sony's an idiot.
Anyone else get this from GS? I swear I've never had a pleasant preorder experience with them, something always goes wrong or I get screwed or it doesn't take or something. Thought I'd give it one more shot after years of avoiding it and I get this. Lesson learned.
I still wanna preorder GT5 though
I walk into the target across the street, and buy it without the smug attitude of the 14 year old @ GS.

That's when I whip out my smartphone and be a smug dick about it.

I don't mean to sound 'all melodramatic' but that is unacceptable seriously, cars of that quality should just straight up not be in the game.

That's gotta be some messed up bug where the textures didn't load or something.
chifanpoe said:I have a nice gaming setup(60inch Sony SXRD, 7.2 THX Ultra 2, Movie Room).
However I will also be using a 4 year old driving force pro on a home made wooden stand. It is rickety as shit and terrible looking but it is still somewhat functional.
My wife would kill me if I told her I needed a $250+ wheel and a custom stand for it
Here is a crappy cell phone shot of my jank-o home made wheel stand and driving force pro
Wow, why even bother if it ends up looking like that? They seriously needed to hire external modelers to help them model cars and let the PD guys have the last word, fixing/correcting stuff etc. These standard cars just look sad. I have seriously no idea who would've wanted to drive these cars. 1000 cars!!, just for a bullet point.
edit: yeah, lod level, still they should've gone for 400-500 cars with the help of external modelers.

Looks like the GAME pre-order is here to stay.
That's it then, I will have to resort to this........................
If anyone has a "spare" UK pre-order code I will exchange you for a damn game, YES! a damn game. specifically a choice between Medal of Honor, MAG and Sports Champion. :lol
I'll even pay for the bloody postage.

I hope I can get away with pretending the standard cars don't exist. Hopefully we're not forced to drive them (for trophies, license tests, challenges, whatever).

What do you mean by a "pre-order code"? Just preorder at shopto. net, they are still taking pre-orders and will ship your game by Monday. And send me that MoH. :lol

amar said that license tests are done in premium cars and you can buy premium cars at entry level also. So you're never forced to drive a standard car if you don't want to.
viakado said:
Since GT aims for realism they would have to make sure that steering wheel begins to vibrate violently once I go past 85mph.
Also towards the end of the life of the car I would have to get out of the car sometimes and hit the fan with the handle of the broomstick for it to kick back in.

You can drive your cars from GT PSP in GT5. As standard cars. And only in arcade mode.iceatcs said:
