actual cities in gt5

[Dave A]

Yep, Nissan refused to appear in NFS:MW because it no longer wants to appear in games where their cars are involved in illegal activities. This doesn't always apply to an entire manufacturer, it can often apply to certain models, an awful lot of manufacturers wouldn't mind their regular cars being the game but wouldnt want certain models to appear in it. You honestly are limiting you car selection by involving illegal street racing and other illegal activities.

how about fast and furious tokyo drift? they had a 350z and a s15 silvia?

My guess is that Nissan didn't endorse that movie or give them the cars for it but the movie company just bought the cars for the movie. Nissan may have had very little if anything to do with it. A movie is much different then a video game because you don't need to buy liscensing rights to put a car in a movie but you do a video game.

My answer to all of you who said that cruising cities promotes illegal street racing is sadly your right.

people in general are absolutly stupid.

there would be no problem for kids to play games like NFS and not go out and try it themselves if the parents actually knew how to parent.

you wonder why kids are out doing drugs stealing ****, killing people.

its bcuz the parents are either alcoholics, in jail, drug users.

ill tell you one thing growing up with alcoholics for parents, having two 24 packs of bud light but no food isnt easy.and it affects you a lot mentally.

back to the point. people are stupid. nobody cares about the important things anymore.

I've been finding LA courses for years myself. If you've ever seen the area in front of Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood when there's a big premiere and the pedestrians are blocked from the road, it always seemed like a perfect centerpiece for a street circuit to me. The area around the Anaheim Convention Center would be awesome, too, because it's got a nice wide straight with cool looking lit trees, and the convention center road has a corner sequence going around it that'd make for great action. The roads are all in good shape, too.

As for city cruising.... racing couldn't fit with a GT game, but I've always thought it would be nice if you could drive to tuning shops, etc, and cruise around for photomode, instead of doing the whole fixed location thing.


One more thing, by the way, Rome from GT2/3 is all real streets. I was there two years ago, and walked the whole course! You can actually see the hotel I stayed in when driving the course in GT3!

Now one city I know that would NOT make it, if this thing were to happen. Which I dont because NFS has that, and GT4 does not need it, but Los Angeles would not make it there. With the exception of only 1 stretch..and that would be Olive, which can make a great Street Circuit, but other than that...no other part as the pot holes and bumps would destroy a suspension....But that would be nice, to have a Street Circuit in L.A Say Olive St...the S/F would be on 6 St...then head north to 4th street and make a right, where you'll go over a hill and down 4th to Spring St, then make a left to 3rd Street...Right on 3rd Street and then Right on Main St. Then you shoot all the way down to 9th street (the back stretch) and make a right and head up 9th to Olive Street and back to the S/F.... GOT IT???? Here' a map.

I know its not EVER going to happen..not that many corners and some of the streets that the track runs on arent that smooth (9th street)...but it would be cool as you'd be driving past buildings that are a little over 100 years old!

The city courses in Gran Turismo have always been made using real streets. You could go to each city if you wanted to, and walk/drive the whole "track".

I can understand your plight. It is a tragic thing to see these days. However, that's going way off the point here. Also, I'd like to ask you something: what can we do to correct the situation? We have the ability, the power to make these choices, so how can we change the current trend and make it an improvement for the future? For the next generation?

Speaking of being on real streets, I recognized some of the scenery on Tokyo R246 from my visit to Tokyo on my 6 month deployment in 2004. It's crazy how accurately the designers modelled these streets! It's also very cool, and it's something I'd like to see more of in the future. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to see tracks that spawn from all the continents around the globe, not just the major ones. I'd like to see something from Australia and South America, even if it is one track. There's plenty of tracks sanctioned by the Formula One Administration around the world, so why not model the tracks that they sanctioned?

 

[LastHours]

They should do one in Miami. =D I can drive my AE86 through town like I do in real life. LOL!

 

[wagonR]

And london (landmarks galore)
How about racing roung some tiny islands, like the channel islands, Hawaii
And rally round the outback
Some south american tracks would be good
European countryside (apart from the nurburgring, which is the black forest)
and miami

 

[vectradriver]

it would be good for photomode if there was a free roam mode, without all those crash barriers blocking the view.
Something like a countryside with a couple of houses,barns and cows for example with little roads

Just to make some beautiful shots. And not to just move around the car with the left stick like in phototravel

Amen to that, it'd make my day. If that was in there, I might be tempted to buy a PS3.

I have posted that "cruisin in real cities would be cooh" before. And, everybody is always talkin ish about how it isn't real. Like you guys drivin in a race car, on a race track, while ownin 700 cars is real. How many people get to do that. Check yourself befoh reck yourself.

You forget 1 thing. There actually ARE people who do OWN over 500 cars. Though they aren't driven, they are OWNED by certain people. While these are museums, they do count because they have 1 owner. Dealerships could also be classified given that there is a man who does have to buy those cars to sell them. Until they are sold, that man in charge of the dealership owns those cars.

Ok, I'm going to point a few things out.

Read my post before you write anything IMADreamer. My argument was how real does the game get. Everybody wants a real game, but majority of us (like you) can't race on a real race track with a real race car. So some parts of the game can be real like the cars and handlin, while others can have more fake aspects like cruisin in the city with an exotic. The experience of racin in a city against other random people would be nice, and I wouldn't want this to be the main purpose of the game, just a little fun on the side. You don't dream very big dreamer.

True, the majority doesn't, but that's what this game is for. The experience of racing other people in a city is being beaten to death. That's what keeps Gran Turismo a unique game. It hasn't been "converted" over to the dark side.

You guys can argue about the "Real Driving Simulator" but I believe the game's title is Gran Turismo, aka an Italian word meaning Grand Touring which as you should know, is a form racing on the track.

The issue about manufacturers is also true. Notice how Honda was also not involved with Most Wanted. They did the same thing in SRS.

 

[Delvesy]

Guys,

I like ozyran's idea, but if we're going for F1 style tracks, then I would seriously have to propose the mooted London F1 GP track.

Here's a link to a website with some of the track plans:
http://www.londonf1.com/londonf1gptrack.cfm

Alternatively, there are many great circuits worldwide, including past/old/ancient race tracks that could be used, effectivly making a new game in itself...

 

[Delvesy]

Another thought, this time on the free-roam suggestion.

I seem to recall a certain section of the Seattle circuit in GT3 where you could 'break out' of the track and explore parts of the city. The only difficulty with this, I believe, was trying to find your way back to the track to 'break back in'.

I don't recall if there were any other circuits with this 'feature', but if anyone is after the free-roaming aspect of driving games, then playing any part of the Grand Theft Auto franchise should alleviate the desire to turn Gran Turismo into something it shouldn't be and doesn't need to be!

 

[JohnBM01]

Two words- excess baggage. It's extra body fat. Little nags which don't amount to much anything spectacular. Depending on your train of thought, this idea is a bit varied. You seem to want a real city to navigate in order to access certain areas of GT5 menu options. And if this is what you want, I don't think we're going to get that. I've always prescribed to the idea that the PS3 and GT5 will be the greatest present usage of the PS3's power regardless of however the end product ends up. The only thing I will not accept is the presumption that we're going to see completely unrealistic usage of power that could be used to put in more features and such. It's one reason why you don't see a free roaming city for GT games. Hell, PD could recreate Tokyo and have you race around a city that somehow has dealerships of every automaker in the world into GT5. It's not going to happen even if you were capable of screaming out your ideas so Kazunori Yamauchi could hear you. You can even count out any ideas of the fantasy cities which house Special Stage Routes 5 and 11. This idea is just like anything in the mold of the Gumball Rally or of the Midnight Club series. You want actual cities? You're racing them in GT games already (except for the fantasy Special Stage Routes 5 and 11). And don't even think about blasting down the New Jersey Turnpike or I-45 in an Audi R8.

So I decline this idea. And don't be surprised if any others follow suit with my declination of this idea.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

I´ve said this before, and I´ll say it again: Include the Mille Miglia! That is plain streets and countryside roads. With or without traffic it would be a great venue for what GT4 is all about; Driving!

That one guy or the very few that own that many cars doesn't represent the majority. And the idea for free roaming has nothing to do with menu or race navigation. Being scared of legal this and legal that still doesn't make this a bad idea. Mclaren says that a bunch of games are using this idea too much. You talk as if GT is the only game that has real race tracks. A game that has the best of both worlds and leaves all the crap out is bound to be a better game.

But, I guess you can't convince anyone here. Nobody here wants GT to come out of its formula. I guess another recycled GT is in the works.
I'm not dumb enough to buy the same game. I have 4 other ones to play with if I wanted the same thing.

I already stated the majority doesn't. Please read.

I didn't say anything like that about this being the only game with race tracks, so refrain from putting words in my mouth. I said this game is for racing on race tracks which it IS like other games. Unforunately, this is becoming a rare thing to see.

I said the idea of racing people in cities in games is being beaten to death, and guess what, it is.

Please show me a game with the "best of both worlds". Which game does this exactly?

If the GT games were the same recycled thing, you obviously would be dumb enough to buy it given you have 4 of the "same" game.

Gran Turismo has made over 5 games without free roaming. They've hit the Greatest Hits chart with the 4 main games. They don't need to leave a dying genre of just racing on tracks to make a better game because the game is popular enough without cities and free roaming.

You want free roaming and racing people in the city? Call EA. They'll be glad to help you.

Actually doesn't the box say "real racing simulator" or something like that?

Well the box says, 'The Real Driving Simulator'.
I personally do not like the idea of free roam like this, to NSF IMO. I think they should use up the room with more tracks and cars etc. The main things that make GT what it is.
