There might be a Falcon, BF V8 supercar or something like in GT3 with the AU XR8 Tickford Supercar. I wouldn't get your hopes up for Aussie cars in any game, the most I've seen was in NFS HP2 with the AU TS50 and the Monaro.
Need for Speed III - had EL GT and VT1 clubsport
NFS: HP - AU1 XR8 and VT2 Clubsport
FFSP HP2 - AU3 TS50 and Monaro

Looks like Forza motorsport 3 will come out about the same time as GT5, hope they have a good range of aussie cars.

I've actually got NFS III, might have to install it again some time. I got it around the time it came out but obviously was too young to be into cars then. I've also got Road and Track's Need for Speed SE

Well I am hanging out for GT5, then I will buy a PS3, surely Sony realize that alot of people will do this.

In saying that RE5, MGS4 and KZ2 all have pretty good reviews.

If you ever want to hook up for a few games, just let me know. I usually host 8 player games, I'm Damoo in game, you might have played in some of my games, I get the occasional lag spike though which makes everyone lag for about 2-3 minutes then it goes good again but everyone sooks lol.

They've got a total of 50GB to use, so why not include a damn poop load of cars? But the problem is I HIGHLY doubt they'd feature the same car with 50 different versions of it over the years. We'd be lucky to get the VE and the BF/FG in the game.

Australia basically doesn't exist to the gaming world, we're insignificant.

The game you have is Need For Speed High Stakes. Was a great game.
And if I remember correctly also had to two aussie cars as police cars in Victorian paint scheme and you could even get a HRT painted version of the clubbie.

I only bought a PS3 for GT5 and God of War 3.

Have a few games but the only things regularly in it are GT5 Prologue and Blu-Ray movies.

That list getting around with nearly 10thou cars is definitely a nice "wish" list.

The problem is mapping/rendering the cars. I can't remember the exact figures (where's that 12 month old mag gone to??) but it goes something like this:-
  • GT1 & 2 for PSone had a few hundred polygons for each car. It only took a few hours to build/render each car.
  • GT3 & 4 for PS2 had more polygons and detail and takes a few days to do each car.
  • GT5 on PS3, thousands of polygons and advanced shadowing/lighting, etc. A FEW WEEKS to build EACH CAR.

The game engine is pretty much complete. It's all the high-def content that we are waiting on.

If we had to wait for them to build every car on that list, well, I'd like to play it before cars are a historical curiosity.

I didn't visit the link TBH. Just assumed the 10000 was the "wish list" seen in other places.

As far as Aussie content goes, I'd love to see all those cars plus every track that's been in V8Supercars/ATCC over the years. Yeah, dreaming :

I'd be happy with 20 or so Holdens/Fords/FPVs/HSVs of varying models/eras (eg: TE Cortina, XY GTHO, XC Hardtop, BF, FG, etc) and at the very least it must have Bathurst!

They never say anything about release dates, its "When its done" still, though they released a HD teaser in 2007 that I stayed up until early hours of the morning waiting patiently for it haha. I guess for release date, mid to late next year or the start of 2011. Also a few screenshots and let me tell you, it looks FREAKIN' AWESOME. Hail to the king, baby ;)

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me. My fave for GT4 is Nurburgring, I could drive it with my eyes closed now _2: . I would love to have other countries getting a taste of what Bathurst is about in a massively popular mainstream game like Gran Turismo.

2011 - 2012 ???? :

I was thinking Xmas `09 to mid `10. How flipping long do we have to wait? :

I'd rather they drop the car damage if it means waiting a year less.

I like the idea of night/weather though. It's a bit wierd doing a 24 hr race with no change to the lighting. :
