Changes to GT Auto or New Features.

[LeadFootLiam]

Couple of things that could be added and cool new features:
Brake Pad changes
Brake Disc Machining
Spark Plug Change
Tires Pumped up
Fluids Topped off
Windshield Wiper Change


For the car wash they could make a cockpit view of the car going into an actual car wash, wish the spinning soap mop things.

How about
- proper oil change (you need to take a pan under the car to get rid of the oil, you need a filter, and fill the car up by popping the hood and put it in properly) this has always buged me
- proper paint i dont know of any paint shop that just lets it fly around willy nilly (same with the painting of the rims)

how does a car just spin around in a garage like that? (when getting engine rebuild or chasis rebuild)

ok know what you asked us to do
-Brake pad changes
-brake dics changing
-brake bleeding
-engine swaps
-spark plug changes
-ability to change tire pressure
-windsheild change (gets sand blasted)
-wiper change
-put in proper tools (like wedge in nascar or add bumpstops in cars etc...)
-customize a car (decals, more rims etc...)
-fancy horn like dukes of hazzard, car alarm, air horn etc...
-new clutch in car like slip dif in a chevelle or if you were to strip clutch if you dont know how to drive stick

all for now i'll most likley be back

You want to change wipers and bleed brakes (Read: press a button) in a videogame? Why?

That does seem to be too much in the way of racing.

Not really worth having all that in there.

 

[carfanatic45]

I want to see what my color, rims, and/or body kits look like without having to by them and then find out what it looks like. Same thing with naked carbon fiber hoods.

 

[lbpomg95]

Perhaps link it with photomode? Show the car inside a garage, like on Midnight Club games, show what the colour change/visual part looks like BEFORE I buy it as said above. Car wash is unnecessary unless dirt becomes more profound.

With the visual customization, firstly, add more of them, two different sets of spoilers/wings/splitters/canards/skirts etc on every premium car at least would satisfy me. At least it would be constant between most models for a start. Also, rims. Frankly, we need more. The same selection for every car. Like GT4 did. A choice of over 50 different rims for every car would be a spiffing start.

With repairs, I'm pretty much fine with our current options, though I'd like to feel the difference in the chassis a bit more after it's been repaired. Same with engine repairs. A crash in a 900bhp Aventador at 230mph does not result in the loss ofr ~1bhp and a minutely off chassis. It normally results in a massive write-off.

Perhaps give us the option to choose our damage settings? If it's less forgiving, repairs cost more, affect the car more and requires more care, but perhaps races pay more cash/XP? Just a thought, probably wouldn't work but oh well.

I'd like to see GTAuto scrapped and become part of the tuning menu. One less menu to wade through = time saved.

What I'd really like to see is a checklist so I don't have to slog through submenu after submenu to get stuff done.

Oilchange, check
Spoilers, check
Engine upgrades, check
Custom tranny, check

If there is anything that might need visual confirmation like the spoilers, you can add an OPTIONAL submenu for that, just don't force us to go through animations.

Want all these? YES ......done. All the little animations are a total waste of time. If you want to leave them in there for the casual players and kids, fine, just give us the ability to turn them off.

Changes for GT Auto I would support:

Getting rid of GT Auto and doing everything from the garage menu.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Please, no more car maintaince gimmicks. Oil changes, chassis/engine restoration, and car washes are enough. Maintaining a car is bad enough in real life. I don't want to do it in a video game.

 

[avens]

Sometimes less is more.

I think car maintenance (oil, engine, chassis) should be removed entirely because it is the most annoying aspect of the game while it adds nothing to it. Just scrap GT Auto and the useful features go to garage (painting, rims, aero, rm, wash), hopefully available in-game too.

 

[deep_sky]

I can put up with oil/chassis/engine rebuilds, but I don't understand the stupid animations that come with it, nor why it's in a separate menu. They should put Parts/GT Auto stuff in one menu, and/or put it in the garage menu like Toronado says, and let people skip those animations.

I'm still baffled by why I need to stare at a garage door for five seconds every time I rebuild an engine/chassis. After a rebuilding a few cars, the process really 🤬 grates.

 

[Exorcet]

Hard to argue with that.

Though it seems like there is a group out there that gets something out of it. If it's kept, a simple option within the options menu like "skip animation" and perhaps a queue for multiple car maintenance would be much appreciated.

 

[Yardang]

I'd imagine the novelty would quickly wear off if PD were to implement more car maintenance stuff. Also given that used cars come with bad oil in GT5, we would most likely have to change its oil along with the spark plugs, rotors, and so on after purchasing them. That doesn't sound fun at all, and it'd probably be even more annoying with a sizable car collection.

I'd be happy if PD shut down GT Auto, but I have a feeling that won't be the case for GT6. So for us guys that don't want to put up with having to load up another screen and go through more menus, just give us the option to select things from the tuning menu or something. That would be an improvement over what we currently have.

Awesome. Take a boring, tedious "feature" that nobody honestly likes (sure, some fanboys publicly pretend to, but deep down inside they don't) and expand it so there are more unwanted chores.

 

[karelpipa]

Get rid off any oil change. Would be better to not having to brake-in the engine or no power changes. Its SO boring and repetitive.

Yes, all things must be doable from garage (even for multiple cars at once). No more GT Auto.

They can add all kinds of options if they like so long as they are on a checklist type of menu and you hit one button and they are all installed. What would be great but a total fantasy is a checklist that says something along the lines of "Standard Upgrade Package 1, 2, 3, etc" and you could program different levels of mods for cars you buy. I've never taken a car to race at the track for example where I didn't do all the drivetrain, transmission and suspension upgrades so why not lump them together to speed things up, as an option.

Oil Change should also be a checklist type of item. Do you want to buy this car, "Yes", Change oil? "Yes" ...Where do you want to go? "Main Menu, Garage, Test Drive etc(and let us choose the default). " Pick one, done. No silly animations, just put the darn thing in my garage and let's roll!!!

Thing is what's the point of servicing and restoring virtual cars in first place: there is none.

Next step is filling up gas and paying taxes in order to use cars.

 

[karelpipa]

I would like the checklists too. The tuning is way much time consuming. Just lets roll!

I also want paying for gas and each set of fresh tyres to spend more money. In every GT you reach the point, where you have so much money, that you dont have to worry about it.
But racing is very expensive. (could be automatic though)

 

[Exorcet]

In every GT you reach the point, where you have so much money, that you dont have to worry about it.

That's the part where it might start to become fun.

I suppose if people want to worry about money, PD should add that as an option, but if it becomes a requirement to worry about money all time GT Mode will fall farther down the hole than it already has.

I'm seriously advocating splitting GT between GT Mode and a sim mode that takes after the tradition simulator model (ie physics, cars, tracks, and nothing else [like credits]).

 

[VBR]

I wanna see a "Cut & Shut" option added to GT Auto; that way we could take a Skyline & a Miata, & create a Skyata. Or, we could take a Miata & a Skyline, & create a Mialine. I bet Kazunori San would get quite excited if he read this!

 

[james6653]

We need actual parts catalogs. We also need a place where we can auction off the cars we don't want anymore but can't give to a friend. I have 3 Corvette Z06 RM that I can't get rid of. They also need to give us a restoration garage like 2 cars at a time. We should also get a spec generator where we can select 4-5 cars and it will add the required parts to make them even and spec them for you then give you the results. We need instead of Go Kart mode we need actual short tracks and we should be able to build Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stock, Pro Stock, Pro Truck, and Four Cylinders.

 

[Tornado]

We also need a place where we can auction off the cars we don't want anymore but can't give to a friend.

To solve that PD needs to get rid of the inability to do it. Not put some other band aid on it to hide how dumb it was to make it like that in the first place.

Exactly my point we don't need a "used car dealership" we need auctions.

 

[Exorcet]

I think instead he meant we should be able to do what we want with our cars. No stupid "you can't trade this" restrictions.

Also, having only auctions may be bad because:

-No one might take the car, or it could take a long time to sell and get money for it
-Car upper value is capped at the dealership price unless the car is unique in some way (and in GT, this is not possible at the moment, though hopefully GT6 will fix this).

 

[Pantha-King]

One thing for me.

The option to turn off the animations for car washing, oil change, painting and race modifications.

And it would be nice to have one or two more pattern/decal variations on the RM cars or perhaps the ability to use more than colour IE: corvette which is half black and the other colour being the one you selected for the front end.

 

[ShiftingGears]

If it isn't vehicle customisation it needs to be gotten rid of, to be honest. Car washes and oil changes, and those awful animations add nothing to the game.

 

[ZZ-II]

Oil change does, it gives some extra HP with racing oil.

Washing is doing nothing indeed, because the cars don't get dirty ( which hopefully will happen in GT6 )

 

[ShiftingGears]

Oil change does, it gives some extra HP with racing oil.

I am aware of that - but I don't feel that including a decline in engine performance over time prior to an oil change adds much to the experience at all. I would rather they just drop the power degradation thing.

 

[hobanator24]

I seriously don't understand why everyone wants to get rid of GT Auto. It's what makes Gran Turismo unique. If anything, they could add to it. Such as more rim options, more aero kit options, being able to create custom paint colors, ability to replace an engine if the engine seized, ability to replace more parts with carbon fiber (doors, trunk), and ability to repair any cosmetic or mechanical damage at a cost. It adds to the realism factor that only Gran Turismo can capture.

 

[Tornado]

Because that "uniqueness" is to the detriment of the quality of the game. There's no reason to not be able to do all of the things in GT Auto in the garage menu, which would allow you to skip a good minute of loading times plus the superfluous animations. The only iteration where GT Auto was tolerable was GT3, because it had 2 second load times, no animations to sit through and all purchased wheels were shared among all of your cars from the garage view.
