Gran Turismo 5 seems to cover all the aspects of auto racing. You can race the cars, you can be the crew chief/ race stratigest. You can even tune on the cars. But despite all this, what is the one thing you can't do? I'll tell you.
You can't be the head engineer/ designer of a car company. How can we fix this? I can tell you that too. We add a car designer and here is how it would work: We start with a couple options of very base chassis. Once you select that you can edit the chassis by doing things like selecting areas and pushing them in/ out and changing the degree of angles and slopes around the chassis etc. Kind of like a simplified graphic design I supose, only not as digital. I don't think that I really described that the way I invisioned that in my head, but it is consevable to take something similar to what they used to shape the car chassis for the game, just simplified and put it on the game. Again, I know I described that last part poorly but stay with me here.
You would also select the engine for your creation. You would choose things like how many liters it is and such, also like a V6 or V12 or even V2 if you want you car to suck. You could place the engine and cockpit where you want it along with other features for you car like if you had power steering, paddle or stick shifters, cooling systems, etc. This would all contribute to the car's specs, you know, weight, displacement, power, etc.
You could also design your cockpit just as you would the chassis. You could be molding your creation in sheet metal, carbon fiber, etc. (also effecting specs). Then you would paint/ decal your car and add an option to change the racing number if you added one to the car as well, of course with different color schemes for your car to choose from when purchasing. You would name your car and the car company you made.
Yup, you could start your own company with your own logo and what country the car is from and what not. You would be a real car designer! How would you fund your creation? That's easy, each aspect is paid for with money from career mode. Run out of cash? No problem, save your creation and come back to it when you earn more funding. You would get a free car of the model you created and have a spot in the new car dealer to buy more after that. Perhaps you could even put your cars in an online market where others could by your cars, you getting a chunk of the profit.
I know the idea is big, but I one would have no problem buying the car designer as an expansion pack. So what do you think? Would you want this on the game, would you pay for it, could any of my ideas be changed for any reason, what are any thought you have pretaining to it? Do share your ideas to improve this in any aspect, thanks!
UPDATE: For anybody who thinks the coding for this idea isn't possible please read the posts in this room because it is talked about and explained. Also I forgot to say the you would also be able to select the gearing I your car, 4 speed or 6 speed or whatever you would want in your car in addition to stick or paddle shifters.
