Boy, am I late to Deve's party, but here are my GT5 predictions.
I guess I'll hop on tonight and see how right I was, though I expect almost all of this to be in GT5. And MORE! That's the really good part.
- GT5 will feature all 1000 plus cars with interiors. Used cars will return. The garage can be sorted with numerous options, and can hold any number of cars.
- A couple of surprise manufacturers will be announced, and I'm thinking Maserati and Koenigsegg. Perhaps Porsche as well, though MS might have a one year contract precluding this. However, RUF will return so no biggie. More cars from Europe, America and Australia will be included.
- All street cars will feature minor cosmetic and visual damage. Tuners and race cars will have a fuller damage implementation.
- Bot A.I. will be improved. People will still complain.
- There will be weather but not variable. There will however be real time time transition, and both can be set according to real world track conditions. Rain and snow events will be limited to 8 car races.
- There will be somewhere around 50 race tracks. With variations, that will approach 100 courses. The full Nurburgring Complex will be modeled. All classic GT tracks will be included. Other notable inclusions will be Spa, Hockingham and Bathurst.
- Race Mod will return, and will include a Livery Editor. Kits, tires and parts from real world manufacturers will be buy-able at Tuner Village and dealerships. Blank race cars will be provided, or existing cars can be painted over.
- Season and possibly Career Modes will be added to Arcade and GT Modes of play. Stat tracking will be extensive.
- WRC and NASCAR will follow a season format. WRC will have the option to race an opponent and will feature mostly point to point races.
- Photo Mode will be greatly improved. Movie Mode will debut, allowing you to edit replay cam positions and tracking, including chopper cam. As stated, movies can be uploaded to YouTube.
- Online Modes will have extensive options:
[*]Open and Private Lobbies, settings for virtually everything from damage to tunes, voice chat, friends list, servers list, launch from Home, watch replays in Home, spectate, etc.
[*]Team and League builder tools.
[*]Race Event and Season Maker tools will cover car classes, PP restrictions, HP restrictions, mod restrictions, track list, prizes, time and weather, etc. Leaderboards and extensive stat tracking. Online replays can be saved and edited in Movie Mode.
[*]GT Auctions where you can sell, trade or give cars and liveries, replays, photos, etc. - Music lists can be edited, and added to with your own music or replaced entirely. All music from all GT games will be included.
- There will be a Collectors Addition, and much of the goodies will consist of online elements, including free DLC to some extent.
