Very sad it took them almost 6 years dev time to create a half assed game. Oh well, I will still give it a shot but I will be renting before dropping the $60.

Wow those do look terrible. What the hell happened?

that's how the majority of the cars look like. I'm going to hold off on picking up my pre-order and read some reviews. as of right now, if the game play part of the reviews isn't damn near perfect, i'm cancelling/returning it.

Yeah...OK

This is just unacceptable. Looks like something that was designed using MS Paint and even though Photomode looks very good it is not representative of the "in-game" quality.

Don't know about others but personally i have fun when i am actually playing a game and not taking screenshots of it.

it's hard to tell because you can't really zoom in like those pictures, but it's not pretty. the premiums looks amazing though.

while i have played forza3 on a friends xbox360, never played the series when i had a 360. i did like it :D ,

but no way in hell im i going to buy a new 360 just to play it. :wacko:

yes the standard cars in tg5 do look poo some times

compaired to the preimum ones.

there is more to GT5 than forza3 and PD have done some amazing work with it. yes we would have all prefered every single car

to have "preimum" graphics but would you rather have some standard cars than Non what so ever?

For those who are into this game way more then I am (meaning veterans of the series) and who also know their stuff about cars (I know gas and brake, and how to change oil), if you could list what the good all around starting car and / or cars that more or less a noob like me to the series should focus on using and purchasing for awhile, it would be greatly appreciated.

When you start your drivers career it will recommend you pick up a used car, just ignore that and go to dealerships. You can buy quite a few cars new, but the Honda Civic Type R 1997 is the best bet for starting. Costs basically all your starting credits.

I reached level 6 last night, I love the RPG element added in regards to levelling up your drivers. There's so much to do, I took a break at level 6 to do the karting, it's actually a lot of fun laugh.gif License tests are as hard as ever in regards to getting gold.

I'll post a few pics of my starting car in a bit, spent a load of credits tuning it and adding some parts to the body.

Personally, I'd disagree about the license tests getting harder. I think they're getting easier, as I've actually got gold on quite a few of them already. :p I'll post my current tally when I get back on later today. All I can remember is that I'm up to the I-A license now, so only two to go. :)

I'll try and post some pictures later as well. I took a quick one last night of my go-kart. :)

I really can't wait to get stuck into this but I'm not going to lie about how disappointed I am by the state of some of the non-premium cars. I sold my Xbox 360 and Forza Motorsport 3 which I thought was fantastic, primarily to merge my BD player and games console into one unit.. but also because I knew GT5 was starting to loom on the horizon. It's impossible not to be disappointed looking at how poor those standard models are.

I suspect there will be some very, very critical reviews of the game because of these.

My copy should hopefully be waiting at home for me when I get back tomorrow :)

I'm kinda hoping that with the outcry that's hit it, they will put in some patching to change the rendering routines of the standards and maybe smooth them out a little.

I'm really worried about GT5 now, seems like it's gonna be a massive let down :( I also have no idea when my copy will arrive, been in limbo for 3 days now at the depo...but to be honest, after all this talk about the horrific standard cars and poor graphics (for the tracks) I'm not that excited for it anymore :/ it's turning into the biggest disappointment of the year.....I'll reserve final judgement for when my copy arrives one day though. That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.

I'm pretty enraged about how the standard car models look, looks completely as if no effort was put into polishing them at all. Not having 800 standard interior view is perfectly fine with me but I don't think there is much excuse for leaving the exterior as is from GT4 imported into GT5.

I don't think it'll be the flop some people are fearing. Just been reading some of the reviews from the big web sites and they're saying the same kind of thing - a flawed masterpiece. Lots of things about it are wrong, but they're outweighed by how good the rest of it is.
