3D Garage rather than list

[zoxxy]

My idea would be to have a list, on which you select the car, and then you're being moved to a certain place in the garage. That's not that difficult to make, and it's still hella tight. Image, all your old Brit classics lined up next to each other. *dreams away*

I kinda liked the garage in Auto Modellista since you could decorate it with shelves, posters, tools, trophies, etc. If I was making GT5 I'd probably do kind of a warehouse like in PGR2 (but about 5 times bigger) that you could decorate with supplies and memorobilia like in AM.
Maybe give the garage a capacity of about 60 cars (3 rows of 20) and have the ability to rotate your collection like the "sub garage" system in AM. But that's just me...

And every few game-weeks an animation of Dennis Gage should drop in to see what you've been up to lately.

3D garage. Awesome idea, but a list would still be faster once the novelty wore off. You'd get annoyed at having to stroll through rooms & rooms of all the cars eventually.

 

[F1GTR]

Yeah, there should be an option to switch viewing styles.

-> I'd like to see a 'progressive' style garade, on which when you start a GT game you garage is small (1 car garage w/ your 1st car, messy storage boxes and tools) and as your GT percentage increases along with your credit (aka.money) increases, the look your garage will look a lot nicer, neater, and bigger until to a point that you have your own warehouse that can store all the cars w/ a museum style display on your 'high priority/favorite' cars that can be arranged to your liking. And all this are in 3D, heres an example:

...and the size of the garage goes on. (:

I like that idea, but maybe start with a 2-3 car garage.
BTW, that's a nice little 924 GT in the 4th pic.

yeah a expanding garage would be realy cool or if u want to spend som useless money in the beginning you gould buy a upgrade for you garage (more cars) think of the garage as a weight reduce kit upgrade. stage 1,2,3,4 the more upgrades you buy the larger the garage

Honestly, I'd be happy with the traditional car list.

But this time, PD should let us save the way we want to sort it!

And we should also be able to change parts in the garage. I hate having to go to a course just to change the parts on my cars.

You can change parts in your garage in GT4, select your car, goto the main screen in your home where you see garage, save ect, then just press start on the pad/dfp and you go to that cars settings screen.

Whoa! Thanks!

^ Just like this? With a lift like that, we can and also we have our own dyno to check out inprovements (engine wise). (:

how about those vertical garage thingies from Japan?

SEriously, i'm ok with a 3D selection screen... but not a garage. Its fun for 5 mins... then it takes too long for nothing... remember PGR2... had to walk for 10 mins to get from one end to the other... fun the first time, but this ain't a FPS, its a Driving Simulation... So unless you get a golf cart thing.. i'm not to inclined to this feature.

The currect selection screen (GT4) is nice, if a bit complicated for the people who don't know EVERY SINGLE CARS EVER MADE. So an image selection system is always nice.. like a thumbnail of the cars, with the name and info (the search system is cool as well (per weight, speed, torque and so on...).

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> If walking seems to be a problem, I'd like to see this "golf cart" in GT's future interactive garages:

A 3D sortable garage would be nice.
It would be even better if the they let you have numerous garages that each player can sort and SAVE to his liking.
Also a transporter with customisable paint jobs that takes your car to the track would be nice.
Saving a replay of your car being unloaded from the transporter before the race, the actual race and then being loaded up at the end would be nice.
Almost like the intro from an earlier game (GT1?) with the Skyline? being unloaded.

 

[InZan3]

could be nice.. but then u need to be able to skip the "intro" if you don´t want to see it..
