Garage data transfer GT5 to 6

[daus26]

Arcade Mode, I can definitely understand and don't see a problem with it. If not, it should at least be like GT4's Arcade Mode where the cars we unlock from GT Mode, we also unlock for Aracde. C'mon PD! GT5's arcade mode was horrible! We could only pick from a random selection and our favorites??

 

[JogoAsobi]

No desire to bring my garage over. Half the fun was acquiring it.
Besides, what really counts (sim driving skills) will go with me to GT6.

 

[strider193]

I would like to bring some of my cars over. My Falcon XR8 is way to precious. Maybe have a 10 car import limit?

 

[05XR8]

If this is the case, those of us that bought GTPSP should be able to transfer our Portable Garage. Ive transferred Lupo Cup cars in all the colours to Arcade Mode. At the same time, the main cars I want are in GT6 anyway. I'm happy if transfers are an option or not.

I cant remeber now, but was there any garage data copied between GT3 and GT4 ? they were both on the same platform but cant remeber if they had anything like this.

No, but you got a credits bonus in GT4 for having a GT3 save (and GT4P save).

 

[CinnamonOD]

I was thinking that you could get a bonus starting car or credits and message saying "Thank you very much [your username] for playing GT5, you have won the following prize: [Car name gift ticket / credit bonus]"

They sent a christmas message/card with our username on it two years ago so I don't think it would be a major problem for them

No, but you got a credits bonus in GT4 for having a GT3 save (and GT4P save).

100k credits, I loved that feature!

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

No, but you got a credits bonus in GT4 for having a GT3 save (and GT4P save).

That bonus if I remember correctly was capped at 100k or your total credits on the save which ever was lower.

It also allowed you to get Gold on the A and B license and the prize cars for those events that would be awarded on GT4.

Yeah, I forgot that one.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

I would like to see stealth/chrome line/ special event cars at least included in the dealerships and then I won't need a transfer!

 

[The Flex]

very important for me.

Having golded every licence on every GT I have owned (1,2,3, & 5), I would not mind at all being credited with any or all of the licences in GT6!

 

[Streeto]

Nah, start fresh.

Although I'm all for transferring garage from GT5 to GT6, licence tests are always fun to do because time limits are set by humans, so it's not boring as racing against AI. Special challenges in GT5 were also fun, although I golded Vettel challenge only because I wanted to keep my standards (hated X1 and Vettel)

Actually, i agree with you completely. The licence tests also serve as useful refresher to hone out-of-practice skills!

 

[MX5Racer69]

I don't know. We all learned that you could make serious coin running the Seasonal Events. And we'll all need some time getting used to the new physics. So when I get the game, I'm going to grab the first car that will let me do one of the Season Events (if they have them), run some races, make some coin, buy another car. Won't be a day or two and I'll have most of the really good ones. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

OMG I hated the license tests. Completely and utterly boring. Stop ... here. No ... here. No ... not quite. Shoot me.

 

[Pit Crew]

Starting from scratch isn't a deal breaker for me. Plus my GT5 standards that get upgraded on GT6 won't look the same. Just Saying...

 

[lebes14]

Only for special cars, for example chromeline, Edge Camaro, Academy cars, etc.

^this. I don't really want all of my cars back, it would make it feel less like a new game and more like an update. But it would be nice to get a bonus for all the hours I put into gt5. To me the best option would be to import special cars like gt academy, chromline and stealth. And give us some money according to our level in gt5. Maybe they could give us 1000cr for every level we are. Say you are level 40, you can start with 40000cr more then you wpuld normally start with, that way you could start with a car you would enjoy a bit more.

I like that idea. If GT6 detects a GT5 game save when you first start it, a loyalty bonus of some kind would be nice.

 

[USARMYCOMBATVET]

My two cents is this: OPTION; I'd like for those who want the option to be afforded the option.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I think it is silly to even suggest such a thing as a garage import. Sure there are people that would want it but most would rather not and it really does destroy a large part of the game. Several parts in fact.

They can't give everyone everything they want and asking for something like this is kinda like asking to install an easy button so that if I have played GT5 I can hit a button, get all cars, max credits and max level before I drive the first race. Nonsense.

The game should allow at most a small bonus for having played GT5. Something like mentioned earlier with the special cars and maybe a small credit boost would be more than enough to start out with and I would really rather see those special cars made available for purchase rather than added to the garage.

The game is meant to start with a single car in career mode and that really is how it should be for everyone. In online mode would be nice to be able to drive any new car no matter if you own it or not but only be able to drive it as totally stock including the stock tires. This would allow plenty of choices for cars to drive online and an even playing field across the board in the beginning.

If the garage were to be imported then there would be people online the very first day with 100s of upgraded and tuned cars to choose from making it much harder for those who did not import or could not import to compete.

In general it is a bad idea and should not be done. If you want the cars you should earn them just like everyone else.

Importing is perfectly reasonable. Demanding that no one should be given the option to import is nonsense.

It still has nothing to do with difficulty, as it can't make the game any easier. It doesn't ruin the game if it makes people enjoy the game more and for a longer amount of time. And there is nothing to say about not being able to please anyone because that's completely false in this case. It won't change a single thing online except make the car selection more varied.

The game is meant to be sold and played by the player. The right way to play is the player's way, and there is no way around that. This "bad idea" would be one of the best things to happen to GT in its entire history.

The game simply should not be altered in such a way just because some people feel like they should be able to have 1000 cars in their garage at the beginning. It never has been that way nor has any other game of the sort and it shouldn't be. I would also venture to say that it won't be.

Of course it changes things drastically. No need to earn credits if you already have 1000+ tuned cars in yoru garage. You already have the best car for every event and in many cases upgraded as far as it will go with RS tires making most events far easier than they should be and down right boring. Online it would be a huge advantage for those that imported their garage compared to those who did not. Surely you can see this, it's not rocket science.

In addition it would also prompt people to import that don't really want to just because they may feel the need to do this in order to compete online and thus ruin the career mode for them completely.

I'm still not seeing what you have against an option. Why exactly are you worried if someone has all of the cars and can blast through the events like nothing? That's their choice and if they find the game boring because of it, they have no one to blame but themselves. It has no effect on you.

As for having a huge advantage online, I still don't see the problem. What about those players who bought GT5 XL, Acdademy Edition, etc. long after GT5 has been out and have to start from scratch while players who bought it at the initial release already have the good cars? Were they not at a disadvantage too? Should we all have to start over with empty garages in GT5 because of new players that are just joining?

What if these cars were locked in specific events(including online) and/or until the driver had the specified level but said cars were still available at any time for practice mode, photomode, and to generally enjoy?

Take it a step further and make the cars not even available online or simply allow a drop down menu item known as "Allow only cars earned in GT6 to compete" What would be your opinion if there were some way to limit the use but still allow collectors to collect?

So in other words, you think the fans should be ignored? That would include you.

It never has been that way. In 2005 it never had online. In 2000 it never had PS2 level graphics. As of now it's not a game on next gen consoles. Let's hope PD never changes this. "It never has" doesn't justify anything. Neither does what other games do, but I'll say that many games have done this already.

You also like to keep mentioning that you think GT6 won't allow import. This doesn't support your opinion in any way, nor does it make anything else you're saying more correct.

Indeed it isn't. Credits are just grinding, so taking them out of the picture does nothing to difficulty. It just saves time. Car selection won't change difficulty either. With GT as is, if you wanted to make a race easier, you just grind (you can come in last place every time if you want), then you go buy or tune an overpowered car, and then win with ease. On top of this rules might make it so there is no best car, or that tuning is impossible.

Online is where the advantage is even smaller since hosts have tight control over rooms. Also, if there was an advantage for people who imported, that's fine. The people who did not import would have chosen their path. They would have chosen to be an a disadvantage online, and that is perfectly fine.

In addition it would also prompt people to import that don't really want to just because they may feel the need to do this in order to compete online and thus ruin the career mode for them completely.

You would only import if you didn't want to do GT Mode in the first place. Even if that wasn't true, it's still your choice to import, so again there is no problem here. What is a problem is that if import isn't added, people who would like to use the feature would be unable.

The right way to play is the way the game is designed to be played.

No, there is no right way to play except how the player wants to play. There isn't a single reason to think otherwise.

If players don;t like to play the way a game is intended to be played then they should play something else.

Just as valid is fixing what's wrong with it.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

In the end it will be the way it is and we will buy it and enjoy it however they decide to handle it. 99.9% chance it will be like those that came before and you will start with a few credits and maybe a small bonus for playing GT5.

And yes there is a right way to play, all games have rules and all games are meant to be played in some manner that is determined by the design of the game. If the player wants to play it differently as in getting all the rewards for free then that is the players problem not a problem with the game.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I think there should be something extra in the game for GT5 owners, much like the Veteran thing in Battlefield.

I won't be bothered if there isn't anything though.

 

[slayer91]

Do it like they did with GT3 to GT4, A&B licenses and 100,000 Cr. Maybe one car under 450PP. The only thing I would really hate to lose from my GT5 games is the thousands of paint chips I have, assuming thats how its done in GT6.
