Private lobbies will allow room hosts to have a complete control over exactly which people enter a room, eliminating the risk of dealing with random players.
I guess being literal on the term "Private Lobbies" should have been my first instinct instead of assuming things usually associated with Private Lobbies being included. I'll wait until the official patch notes or word from Kunos on what exactly Private Lobbies means before tossing this "game" in the fire. I just want a way to race the car I want on the track I want with my friends. I have a feeling that is too ambitious.![]()
Yeah if there is no control of what, where and how many. They just lost a backer!"Private lobbies will allow room hosts to have a complete control over exactly which people enter a room, eliminating the risk of dealing with random players."
That's it??? No freedom to choose car and track? No freedom to set number of laps and qualifying length?
If not, they can stick the private lobbies up they're glory hole!
Way more than that.They just lost a backer!

I think we've all been patient. The clock is definitely ticking!Way more than that.

Isn't that part only a relatively safe assumption? If I recall correctly, official details about what the private lobbies will bring to console players have not emerged. Then again, nearly everyone has asked for private lobbies although they probably want control of cars, tracks, sessions, etc.
@HammyMansell finally the CRAP guy's can get a private lobby going on here. That's if you guy's still play this game.

If this isnt up to par with PCars Lobbies then that is a big fat shame. No other way to put it.
And it is not to much to ask for. Its standard for all racing games.
Look at how the game developed with an $80 million budget, a staff of 150 and the backing of Sony does it and just do that but better, is not a realistic expecation.Yes, I am also waiting to see how the implementation actually works before I make any comment. They still have a lot of scope for Kunos to mess things right up ;-)
"Look at how PD does online lobbies in GT5/6 and copy (reverse engineer) it" just leave out the lag and other minor issues like not seeing other people on the track. Even PCARS didn't get it quite right. Lobby chat is atrocious and there is no ability to text speak to the whole lobby, a very handy feature in GT.
Lord Kunos himself, answers my concerns about private lobbies.
I was afraid they would limit you to classes instead of being able to pick exactly what cars you want. Considering the classes seem to be weirdly organized on consoles that's no bueno. Better than nothing I guess but still limits things a lot. Bizarre.
