well I wasnt sure where to put this but this is just my rant. I dont expect to be flamed tho, I'm a Granturismo fan at its fullest. been playing since the first one came out. before that was ridge racer lol only good car game out at that time. anyways onto my rant. well I was allways happy with the car selection since day 1. there were a few cars every now and then that i wanted to be in there but when i saw there wasnt i was like "shrug" but anyways. Onto this new upcoming GT5 or (Vision Granturismo) whatever it be called in the end. These are some things i wish to see. first off is a finished product. GT1 was the only really i guess finished one out of the group. GT2 was suppose to have a drag strip. but at the last minute they took the drag strip out. "hence if you ever wondered why there was 2 drag cars and no drag course. lol.
GT3 was suppose to be online, and have a drag course. which both ended up being taken out, especially the online at the last minute. same with GT4 we got the drag track but not for 2 player lol. and last but not least in 4 we couldnt save our Multi player replays. And lets not forget about the Screen bounce and choppyness in GT4 as well. I mean don't get me wrong I love these games to death. I just think on the aspect of a game they left out some key elements. 1 is the physics arent a "sim" a Sim is GT legends or Live For Speed. (not need for speed) those have the best "sim" feel. the reasons Gran turismo lacks sim feel is well. that was proven on top gear. he ran a time on laguna Seca in an NSX and was about 20 seconds off from his time on Gran Turismo 4. said there was no way he could achieve 20 seconds better , the brakes were allready smoking from his lap.
2nd i agree with that other guys post about the tire wear. yeah whats up with that ? lol 3 laps + on circuit de la sarthe and you've got red tires in a formula 1 car ? hah yeah. anyways. one thing I understand why they left out but I really would have liked to see since about GT3 was tire marks. when you do a burnout. its just white smoke. granted GT series is the best sim for console. but it just needs some work. and they really need to bump up the " sim " up a notch. hopefully with blue-ray and them having 20-50gb worth of data to play with (50gb for dual side) i think they should put arcade on side one and sim on side 2. would be good for them.
another thing that made me kind of upset is when you got a car in GT4 some of them you cant race in arcade but are there for you to look at. 2nd was how you cant race your own cars from your memory card in single race in arcade either. but hopefully this will all change again with blue-ray and them having way way better technology to work with. and from what ive seen from the screenshots and the E3 demo you can race bikes and i REALLY hope you can race those in 2player mode against cars. I would really like that alot , I would also like "real" parts to chose from. not "race exhaust" that adds 30hp to your car when no exhaust adds 30hp to a car. I would like brand name parts. like they do with the rims. that would be superb.
anyways by now i bet you all think i hate the GT series but i dont, I love them all , I just wish they would have spent a little bit more time thinking them out and doing other stuff with them and delivering a working title with nice features such as online as they said , drag strips as they said and MP replays in 4, those sorts of things. I mean its a real bummer when you race your friend and you cant save your replay

well this concludes my rant. I Just hope GT5 or whatever its gonna be called ends up delivering with out screen jutter. fully functional MP replays , racing ALL the cars in game in MP, racing bikes against cars would be great as well. a pit crew that you can talk too via mic/headset would be increadable (But i wont push my luck for that) lol, and some good ol authentic parts and Tiremarks I would be happy. and for the love of god change the tire squeel sounds. its the same over and over again, and the engine noises arent even close to the originals only like 3 cars out of the bunch had similar sounds. well anyways let me know your opinions on this rant. as i think most of you will feel the same but im open to talk about other suggestions as well.
thanks ,
Justin
