So. I was thinking for this for a while. What do you guys think about having another scenery comp? I know this comp has run before, so I went back and read why, turns out it was an unexpected abrupt end. I know this is a bad time because of all the other comps closing and lowest participation levels in the history of the comps. So, what do you guys think? I would be willing to host them btw. And the poll will run for 10 days.
 
well, David...I say yes and no. Yes, because I like to participate in competitions, but no...and like you said, GT4 photomode is quite dead.

👍
 
Sadly I think it is a bad time. But "scenery" could easily be a theme for any given week. Or we could give it a try again...if it doesn't last than it doesn't last. Just like any other comp before it.
 
I like it. when i started in GT4 photomode, i focused on scenery.

However, i think a stipulation should be included where a car MUST be present in the shot. Otherwise, this becomes a "take a picture of some mountains" competition, and it loses it's GT4 value.
 
I agree with Swiss Legend and the idea of using scenery as a subject for a competition so it still has quite a bit of focus on the car side of things.
 
I voted yes. GT4 isn't that dead....look at all the people posting in this thread over the past 30 hours. :lol:
 
True, but its nothing like it used to be even a few months ago.
We also has artistic competition. That didnt last too long.
Maybe a scenery comp will be....well...a change of scenery for this place. :D
 
lol. I kind of agree with Swiss. It could be a theme for another comp, but if I go through with this, a car will have to be present in the scenic picture. Artistic only lasted 8 weeks iirc. I guess the majority of photomode people have voted.

I would say don’t bother. There are exceeded competitions for the number of entrants evolved.
Do you think there is logic in creating a competition, when there are some closing such has the CCCL and the drift that can also be a theme for the more general competitions like the PMC, the 2.0 and the Un-edited, to perhaps save them from the lack of entries. I prefer to see three competitions with two handfuls of entries than five or six with little to none.

But, if this goes ahead, I say please, do not close the CCCL and the drift, because there is no logic in closing those when there are others competitions being created and/or revived.

I think it is really funny that some people voted yes and they won’t even be entering or don’t even enter in some of the competitions…I would really prefer that those people wouldn’t even vote.

I know I may be sounding a little rude and/or radical but the truth is, we are not going to attract more people into the Photomode scene. The game has almost 4 years, there is prologue on the leash (without Photomode, yet), there are other games much more interesting than the old GT4, so it is hard to attract much more people into the Photomode, that we have now. And really, creating another competition where there is lack of people, knowing that it is doubtful that it will attract more people, it’s a waste of time. Really, I advise you to wait for GT5’s Photomode. That would be a more logical/clever/intelligent though.
 
Here's an idea: why don't you post one up now and run it until the end of Drift and CCCL? That will give us a quick fix and then satisfy the need for simplicity. I'm not sure you could run a Scenery Comp for much longer, anyways.
 
I don't think it would hurt if someone ran a couple of comps for a few weeks just to give it a trial.

After that then decisions can be made whether to continue it or not.
 
Its only Parnelli that voted yes and does not enter. So then it would be 6 to 2. I could run it for a week or two. But LdS does have incredibly good logic. I say we can give it a shot for a little while though.
 
GT5 needs a freaking photomode.


AMEN to that 👍


Until then, I hope the good old GT4 can get the job done. So...all of the "survivors" of GT4 photomode, keep entering comps and updating your galleries, don´t let this die. I will do my part...will you guys do yours? 👍
 
Yes. I wil keep going after GT5 gets a photomode.
Wont be getting a Ps3 for quite a while I don't think.
 
Okay, well the results aren't going to change much from today to the 18th, so I'm going to go ahead with this for a few weeks and see how it goes.
