GT5 might not have changable wheels for standard cars.

A recent vid on GT planet http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=128481&page=391is a debate discussion on whether or not it implies that wheels cannot be changed for the standard cars of GT5. Appearantly some GT5 fans are upset about this on the fan site, and imo are overreacting. My question is this, does the changing of wheels vary the performance aspect of the vehicles in GT5 or is it just a visual type of thing?

OH No!!! how are we going to play the game now?

80% of the cars are upscaled gt4 cars and they are worried about the wheels? that's called missing the forest for the trees.

maybe to us this isn't a big deal, but man their are some major car lovers and racing gamers out there and they want blood

OH No!!! how are we going to play the game now?

J-WOW

We can't. This combined with 2d trees voids all the other content and makes the game broken.

The game itself may not be a disappointment, but those standard cars sure are. No interiors AND no wheel options? What next, no colour changing and no performance modifying? What exactly was the point of including these things anyways? Because FM3 had 500+ cars?

I wouldn't compare the amount of features in gran turismo to forza. Gran turismo has over 1000 cars and 70 track variations. I think we can forgive them if you consider what other racing games are doing. Dirt 2 has like 40 cars total.

The wheels do vary the performance of the cars. They have lightweight wheels which helps with performance of the car. I feel like the standard cars were just thrown into GT5 more and more now. It's like just so consumers see that the game has such a massive amount of cars in it, but in turn when they play the game, they realize they can hardly do anything with the standard cars.

I am beggining to wonder what else you CAN'T do to the standard model cars...

What's a changable wheel? Is it the feature on Forza where you can buy different tires/rims for your cars and change the width or whatever? :?Funconsole

This is a big deal for big racing fans. Standard cars already don't have interior views, and they look pretty much like the cars from GT4. If they don't have changable wheels, who knows what else standard cars don't have?? Theres 800 standard cars and 200 premium ones, to be honest I wish there wouldn't even be standard cars because you can't do much with them and they don't look good at all.

You could in GT4 & GT3 i believe

If true GT5 is a flop!

This is pathetic for GT5. Isn't this supposed to be the flagship sim game for PS3. Why are only 20% of the cars premium. Feels like this game is unfinished.

FM3 had around 400 cars.

And we already know you can change tires in GT5. You could change rims on all cars in GT4 so I am presuming you can on GT5 too. I think it might just be rim sizes you cannot change with standard cars.

I'm actually being honest here....i would rather 400 Perfect cars (lower the quality slightly to just above forza 3 level) then have 800 bad cars with no interior view and very few customisation options. walkingdream

I would take 500+ cards and customizable everything over 1000+ cars and no custom wheels. Sorry but 1000+ cars with 25 flavors of civic doesn't impress me at all. This is "simulation" and I can't even customize the wheels? You friggin kidding me? How long have they been developing this game now? I should be able to customize my mirrors and interior for how long they've been making this game. foxhound_fox

We dont know if that many cars wouldve been made even if they didnt have the standard cars.

Wheels are somewhat important, wheels can affect weight of a car, their not just cosmetic. But its not that big of a deal imo, tyres are the most important part of a simulation.

Wait... what?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *cancels preorder*

[spoiler] People are over-reacting. :P [/spoiler]

That sucks if true :( still getting it :)

Considering how most of us will be driving "Premium" cars, I don't think this is a big deal. I don't think I ever bothered changing wheels on my GT cars in the past anyway.

Maybe its like all of the other GT games. There were some cars you couldnt swap wheels on... The tank car, I believe that car shown in the picture, old model t, old mercedes, etc.
