It can evolve and pander to nostalgia, look at FF7 remake. Obviousely you aren't bringing back the exact same content that was in previous games, you are evolving it to the modern standards. It's not lacking evolution to include older tracks or cars from previous games. However they do need to work on keeping it fresh at the same time. The whole game shouldn't be one big nostalgia blast, but if they blend the new with old effectively it can work really really well.
Agree, I will always think of rational reasons other than being similar to previous games to add up a past content, and others should think like this too. Like for example, want to bring tuning back not because GT1-GT6 have it, but because GT is a simulator and therefore they have to carry an educational factor.
I'm not talking about nostalgic material in this post. I was answering @ShiftingGears the question that bringing old material doesn’t mean it’s outdated
Amen. GT needs all of the classics, we want to experience those cars. Their behavior on the road. We want to tune them and customize them.
Whenever I see a VGT I think of generic, boring, fake, futuristic Ridge Racer cars on rails. Really tired of them.
Easy. Sunday Cup can remain. Every time a player completes those three-whatever races, when they go back to it, the tracks and conditions change.
Like GT2's Random Courses for Manufacturer events? (Does going back to completed events reset your stats?)
So basically remove GT's zero-to-hero progression? Sunday Cup is just the name of the entry level event. If you want to change it, make GT like, instantly start with the top cars (or grueling event) at the beginning?
People think those that are "good, remarkable, enjoyable" in the past are only that because of the nostalgia goggles, where in reality those are bad and outdated now and only good in their time, and won't accept the alternatives like those that think they are genuinely good without being biased to nostalgia with strong reasons (I always try to give reasons other than nostalgia to include them, like those that think "GT car list are outdated"... bruh GT includes obscure cars, some of the past cars, even if they're in most GT games, are not present in many other games, let GT have the perks of including them even if you see them over and over). Probably people (including me) got fed up with those that truly are that blindly nostalgic (double standard where "Any film/song/videogame/etc. made after a certain year is bad. Anything made beforehand is good. Regardless of actual quality."), but the counteract to it is be blind as well where they think "any past stuff is bad and only good because of nostalgia filters". where I wonder if people are also crying of bringing back the tuning because it's all a past content and prefer GTS' arcadey upgrade just because "it's new".
But this is the part where nostalgia blinds you.... there ARE licenses in GTS, they're named Driving Schools instead (and if you see in GT7's map menu as well, there are "Schools"). Though probably for GTS, they may not count because GT League doesn't involve them, but don't worry, you've seen GT7 events include them again ("National A")... though they removed the License logos this time. I think I also want to implement License requirement for Online as well, to prevent bad drivers for certain races and classify those who properly trained. Just because the names are changed doesn't mean they aren't different (as well for those hating nostalgia, "zero-to-hero" progression inevitably has to provide entry level events like Sunday Cup; just because the name is changed from Sunday Cup doesn't mean it's different if you're craving "zero-to-hero" progression, but if you really want something different from Sunday Cup other than just name, then remove "zero-to-hero" progression of GT then?)
