Updated the OP

How about...

1. Is there a possibilty of an "event creator" in an future update for the offline mode in Gt6? For example where you can choose the cars of the opponents, the type of start (standing, rolling, rolling beside), tracks for creating championsships and set fuel and tire consumption, drag intensity and A.I. skill.

Please feel free to change my sentence, my english isnt the best :cheers:

I would try to hide multiple questions in each of the 3:
Example:
"Many players that also played previous editions of GT have noticed that you lowered the difficult and tried to make GT6 more easy and rewarding for new players and see this as opportunity to grow the fanbase, but those GT Veterans are also a bit sad that it has become difficult to find a real challenge in the career races, license tests and missions. Would it not be possible to make the games equally attractive for old and new players by giving us more options like turning SRF off, preventing the AI from gifting you time are giving us a race/championship editor with all options where everyone can create races that suit his skill level ?"

Edit:
Try to avoid simple questions that can be answered with yes or no, the longer the answers have to be the more we might be able to "read between the lines".

How about 2 big questions:

1) Is there a way to communicate feedback\ideas to PD?
2) Would\are PD interested in increasing communication with their user base?

Honestly, I dont think this is a good idea for them.
The "user base" includes novices, players without skill and knowledge, kids... I mean I dont think they would like to receive a massive amount of demands and complaints which some of them would be pointless... Example: "MR cars are easy to spin, fix them PD"
 
1. Will we ever get a full-featured offline, single race creator?

2. Is PD aware of the tire bug (rims and pit stops), and are they working on a fix?

3. Well we get true endurance races back with B-Spec or at least the ability to create them as custom, single races (I.e. in a full-featured single race creator)?

well it seems the he said the top 3 questions from GTP. My own concerns are too many and too specific, so I'll guess the 3 that concerns GTP the most in general.

1. What is your direction and planning in regards to sound in GT6, can we expect more changes in that area, as the new RedBull cars were a hint of Polyphony's new sound?

2. The ability of customization and adding a personal artistic flair to cars have been mentioned before, specifically a livery editor, can we expect anything in the future in terms of editing?

3. Besides the features already listed in the GT6 website (track, community, gps, etc.) , are there any other features that have not been listed that Polyphony is considering or planning to add?

Those are horrible questions because they sound like typical offical interview questions. Boring and ambigous.

1. They already know people are not happy about sounds. Give it a rest. Waste of a question.

2.Livery editor has been beaten to death. They know about it. One of the most common questions that again get nowhere. Just like damage.

3. So open ended the answer will be dull and boring.



Ask direct and simple questions like.

1. How will tyre width bug be addressed, and will tyre width be changeable.What about tyre pressure adjustments.


2. The state of shuffle racing or organised categories in online racing

3. Maybe an oddball question like, are they any more special events that will be added. For example any more moon buggy missions or the ability to win the moon buggy and drive it online for fun. It may seem ridiculous but its no more ridiculous than knocking over cones on the moon.

As true as that is, PD's closed nature has created a lot of issues too. They do need to move into this new age where developers and consumers talk to each other, whether it be on Twitter, through a Facebook page, or an official forum - it happens, and usually jobs get done (see the many many many Battlefield 4 bug reports and subsequent fixes).

I trust PD to sift through the feedback well enough to determine what's an actual, well thought out issue/request ;p

1- Will we get a option to create a custom race ?
2- Will we see some tracks from old GT games as Seattle in DLC or next Gran Turismo ?
3- Standard cars are unacceptable, today. For next Gran Turismo, all will become semi-premium - or premium - ?
Click to expand...

Must have Seattle!!!
I would like to see every track from every GT in the next game, the only exception being Top Gear(MSFT owns rights)
These are the three biggest issues I want to see rectified. Good Post!
Standard cars, are unacceptable moving forward.

A feedback forum here could help PD if it had a good structure and dedicated mods to keep it from becoming a whine fest. You need strict rules for proof/validation and it might need to be locked to only mods posting or at least starting threads. People can make their complaints still in the general forum, but actual verifiable bugs could be "submitted" in a structured way. Desired features could be discussed and hashed out in a similar fashion before being posted and summarized as feedback. It would take some work but could be done and would benefit everyone. The benefits to PD would be obvious - one location where bug reports and feature requests, etc are documented and clearly presented, perhaps even prioritized - no sifting required on their part.

I appreciate that my questions aren't going to be accepted by all, but I mean the whole point was he would answer the top 3 questions from GTPlanet, not the top 3 from random people. Of course I have the same concerns as you do with the questions you wish to ask, but I tried to predict whats on the mind of everyone, and after my experience on the forum those kinds of questions popped up the most.

Plus.... likes don't lie. :sly:
 
Yeah, we already know the answer to sounds, and it's one of the few questions where they have directly addressed it. Whether or not new sounds will make it in an update to GT6 or if only for GT7 depends on time and if they can even update it through patch. Asking them about it again isn't going to change anything at this point imo and would be a waste of a question.

My questions would be

1) Will you add the phototravel locations from GT5 through an update?
2) Can you make changing the driving settings apply across all of the cars so that we don't have to turn off traction control (etc.) for every new car we drive?
 
Another question I'm very curious about is body rigidity - is the wear rate/indicator in GT Auto being looked at? Is it a case of being flipped with oil changes (either the counter or the wear itself)?

Actually, I would probably replace my third question in my OP with this one. I will worry about endurance races once we get B-Spec drivers back.
 
Every time you guys ask about a Custom Event/Championship Creator, I do cartwheels in my living room. Should I post a video of that?

:gtpflag:

@ron86 your main question could be reworded like this for better effect:

1. Is there a possibilty of an "event creator" in a future update for the offline mode in Gt6? For example where you can choose the cars of the opponents, their tuning, the type of start (standing, rolling double-file), qualifying on/off, order of tracks for championships, and set fuel and tire consumption, slipstream intensity, and A.I. difficulty?


(btw, here is a link to a really great thread with all of the best input from GTP)

SO what if they are liked? Maybe like the fact you are asking Taku Imasaki questions is whats being liked. And OP post always get most likes.

And even if the likes are genuine its no reason to think they are "good" questions to ask. If you use some logic you will realise those questions are have already been asked and are least likely to get any substantial new information for the community. They are a waste of opportunity. In fact I can answer then for you.

1. Yes this is one area we are hoping to improve upon for future releases.
2. Not at this time, though we are working to to improve on the amount of customisations available for gt7.
3. Yes we have plans to add extra online features to gt6 such as online car clubs and racing leagues. We are also working on adding course creators.

Thats pretty much what you will get the same as you have gotten the last 100 times it was asked.

Its got nothing to do with the fact you have a different opinion. All I am doing is telling you what I think of those questions and I think you got the point that I don't think you should use your 3 questions to ask them.

Its like getting a genie and using your 3 wishes to ask for a beer, a sandwich and a back massage and justifying by saying "but bro those are all nice things"
 
Phototravel shmototravel... Jk. Realistic-to-the-users (cause its real to them) sounds, its the 33rd opportunity to improve the sounds via patch...one idea i just had is some eq presets to enhance their perfect sounds, like a ferrari-esque hih pitched sound, american muscle, and introduce little by little more presets and as it gets individual, apply preset to car...

3-ok
wich are/is the biggest forum feedback incorporated into the game?
Tell them they basically need to run a 4 thread forum, bugs, whine, cars and track wishlist!
Is the whole 1 track a month still standing? Care to hint the january as apologies for the x2014 thing?
Where the funk were they for the past 3 weeks?
Not even a happy hollydays update in their fb, twitter or web page
Ps, watching some pd interviews and office lookaround, that place is a mess...
 
1. Timing and Scoring and leaderboards are important parts of any racing series on the planet. When will GT give it's players more in that aspect? Specifically class/track based permanent leaderboards.

2. Regarding the advertised car clubs coming in future update. What are the some of the immediate and future plans for this feature? Will there be competitive leaderboards for the clubs?

3. Would it be possible to offer a "game party chat" feature like EA included for the Tiger Woods series where players logged into GT6 would be able to join a chat lobby without the need of being in a online race lobby to chat? So player A could be working on a seasonal, while player B is playing the career mode, while players C,D,E and so-on are off doing other things yet still be able to be in a party chat lobby talking.
 
1.- Is there a possibility of having online one-make races, with stock settings and default tune, with every single car selectable? Idea is everyone has the exact same car and tune; just race under the exact same conditions.

2.- Will there be an option to turn draft completely off? Would be pretty nice for karting.

3.- Favorite fast noodles brand (please don't say maruchan).
 
I think the question about more contact and maybe even some sort of cooperation with the community would be good. I really can't understand the lack of it. I mean, one person from the PD reading stuff that is posted on GTplanet for hour in 3 days a week would be enough. It's all in here - for instance - all bugs, all problems with the game for start. We could easily do the list of what's technically wrong and bugged in a game, if just one person from the company would ask. Also, there's been massive list of incorrect car specs and data in the past. I mean, we as community are doing what they as the company should have been doing, for free. I just don't get how in these days PD cannot see the opportunity to fix and improve the game with the free help of dedicated players. It's win-win situation.

This might sound a bit harsh, but my intentions are pure :). This is the Best Game in The World for me, but with this kind of attitude PD has it will always be only as good as they want it to be, not as good as the players would want.

1. Is there any way for a feedback section to be added in-game? Preferably with the option to individually give feed back on each car, track and game feature.

2. Can we hope for the Viper GTS '02 and others like the McLaren F1, Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, Diablo (both), Countach 25th Anniversary, Reventon, Murcielagos (both), Audi Quattro (both new ones), Mercedes SLS GT3, Enzo to finally have their sound fixed?

3. Will Arcade mode have tire wear and fuel depletion added back like it was in GT5?
