GT5's >MISSING< Tracks & Circuits [Moving on to GT6]

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Here's what, I listed all the tracks that went missing in GT5. I'll include tracks that were altered/revised, pending to return in GT5, killed-off tracks, possible GT tracks based on speculation, various GT5/GTPSP videos, hidden tracks, and the 'Legendary Status' tracks:

TAKE NOTE -> This is the most concise PD-developed Original Track & World Circuit list (that weren't included in GT5) in GTPlanet's history.


+Legend+

=Tracks Featured in Certain GT & TT Games=
REGULAR = Series featured in.
BLUE = Exclusive License Test tracks.
GRAY = As seen on various GT Videos.
GREEN = "Hidden" Gameshark/Action Replay/Etc. unlocks.
RED = "Secret" Gameshark/Action Replay/Etc. unlocks.

*GTP* = One of GTPlanet's Legendary Tracks.


As of 03-22-13: This OP is TOTALLY UPDATED!!!
Yay!

-> Please let me know if there is any corrections to be made. Once again, thank you for the support!

-> The list is on a Blogger format, so it may be a little off.

[Daverytimes]

This needs to be in the front page. A truly EPIC post.



DAVE

 

[Midnight Snacks]

Awesome awesome awesome list!

 

[Grand Prix]

I'd pay for DLC Grindelwald and Red Rock Valley in PS3 graphics and HD glory.

 

[Claybird]

I want Grindelwald and Smokey Mountain back. No one likes Tahiti Maze...

 

[MeechShrykull]

GT6 BETTER have those pod races.
I didn't even know they existed until now.
Are they part of GTconcept's sim mode events or just in arcade mode?

 

[Mike Rotch]

This thread depresses me.

So many classic tracks axed

 

[Milldrum]

Awesome list with so many memories flooding back. I've played GT1,2,3,4 & now 5. I want most of these, if not all back. So here goes,

Dear PD,
I love the GT series. It is amazing. I paid my $80au for this game. I am willing to pay $40au for these tracks. I would also pay another $40au for 200 more cars*.

Lots of love

Milldrum.

*Only 1 model of each car please. Not 31 variations of the Honda Jazz.

 

[Grand Prix]

This thread depresses me.

So many classic tracks axed

Same here. I'm tempted to bring out my GT2 disc and take some classics around Grindelwald during this PSN downtime.

 

[MeechShrykull]

No one likes Tahiti Maze...

Get out.

 

[Spacegoat]

This thread depresses me.

So many classic tracks axed

Same here, the list is so long it makes me sad.

 

[Claybird]

Get out.

How about you, you created a whole thread to bitch about how GT5 is inferior to the previous games.

 

[MeechShrykull]

How about you, you created a whole thread to bitch about how GT5 is inferior to the previous games.

Well why don't you post that IN that other thread instead of talking about it in this thread.
BTW I think GT6 should have ALL the courses from EVERY GT game. And all variations (ie both versions of SSR11) plus plenty of new courses as well as Eiger Path, Palm Strip, SSR16 from above, the pod track, Spa, etc.
Those circle tracks from GT2 and 3 should also be used for racing.
Also all the courses from TT must be used as well.
Also there should be 2 variations of Pikes Peak, the whole thing and the segment from GT2.
BTW the Motorsportsland track is perfect for the kart races.

 

[Devedander]

This thread depresses me.

So many classic tracks axed

And for no obvious reason... importing tracks doesn't seem like it was a barrier and it's not like they need to worry about paying license fees for GT original tracks...

Only thing I can think of is intentional hold back to sell later as DLC or artificially add value to the next GT...

Just think how much the addition of these tracks could have done for A spec... just random a handful of random events on each of these tracks and A spec would have been fleshed out so much better!

 

[J-KiLLA24]

I can't look at these tracks anymore! Brings back to much memories and makes me think why atleast half of these aren't in GT5...

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> I'm glad that this thread gets its positive love hugs! It gave me goosebumps somewhat...

GT6 BETTER have those pod races.
I didn't even know they existed until now.
Are they part of GTconcept's sim mode events or just in arcade mode?

^ I honestly don't know, I've never even played GTC.

Get out.

How about you, you created a whole thread to bitch about how GT5 is inferior to the previous games.

^ Hey, hEY, HEY!! Calm down people!

^ I don't remember the Circle Track was featured in GT2. What I know (so far) that the Circle track was in both GT3 and TT.

-> And Motorsports Land IS designed primarily for Karts, its just GT2 didn't have Karts to toy with!

I can't look at these tracks anymore! Brings back to much memories and makes me think why atleast half of these aren't in GT5...

^ At least half!? All these tracks are not even on GT5!!! What were u smoking? j/k

 

[Rossticles]

Possible GT Track(s) (based in concrete speculation)

The phrase concrete speculation is laughable.

That's a nice list though. I honestly don't remember some of the GT1 courses.

 

[GT-R_EMOKID]

You're missing the Grand Valley sunset variant in GT3.

 

[b18c5specR]

nice post, wish we had all these courses and more in GT5

 

[Skython]

Nice list

I just want Complex String and Apricot Hill... AND Midfield... And Pikes Peak... And... I know where this is going and I think you do too so I'm not going to bother

 

[White & Nerdy]

I think you forgot something. There was a never-named, never-raced-on track in GT2 which was used in various licence tests (such as the braking-while-turning test in the Subaru).

 

[yellomello]

I miss
Red Rock Valley
Seattle
Complex String
Midfield raceway
Gymahaka course so I can Ken Block

 

[zedextreme8177]

This thread deserves to be stickied:tup:

I really miss El Capitan now. Wish I hadn't sold my PS2 and GT4

 

[GfxJG]

Give me Smokey Mountain and Test Course (w/ the different tests) back and I'll be the happiest man alive.

 

[RacerPaul]

Most missed for me are Apricot Hill and Midfield

And of those two, Midfield

Imo, its the definitive GT Original track 👍

 

[Milldrum]

Awesome list with so many memories flooding back. I've played GT1,2,3,4 & now 5. I want most of these, if not all back. So here goes,

Ok, I've given PD 6 hours to respond, nothing!

Imagine racing with 16 others on complex string. I used to love sliding a Subaru WRX around there. PD could make 10 variants of that track without thinking too hard. Then imagine the poor suckers driving around tapping the walls for 3 days trying to break out. That was my test track.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> I just found out that the Circle track was on GT2!

60R version:


100R version:


^ Oh well, time to edit Post #1 then...

The phrase concrete speculation is laughable.

^ Nero9, SHIRAKAWA Akira, and your's truly discussed about Special Stage City months ago, then we explored both SSR11 '00s and SSR5 '90s thoroughly in GT3 if it was possible.

-> The discussion started here, and it ends at page 9.

^ These two tracks in our own opinion ARE connected to each other! As you can see it on the hairpins on BOTH tracks!!!

- SSR11 '00s

- SSR5 '90s

- Speculation #1 by Nero9

- Speculation #2 by SHIRAKAWA Akira

- Speculation #3 by VB

- Speculation #4 by SHIRAKAWA Akira

- Potential routes on both courses by SHIRAKAWA Akira

You're missing the Grand Valley sunset variant in GT3.

^ It already on the list as the Grand Valley Speedway '00/A.

I think you forgot something. There was a never-named, never-raced-on track in GT2 which was used in various licence tests (such as the braking-while-turning test in the Subaru).

^ I'm definitely aware of that, but its very hard to categorize that track to its full content. Because this 'Unknown License Track' is so fragmented and its very uncertain that several variations of each corner are even connected!

^ Well, you get my point.

-> You can also add GT2's loading screen/Starting Grid track. Skip to 0:17 to check it out!





-> I can even add some Hidden Tracks that were unlock thru 'codes'...if people demands it:


Trial Mountain: The END [GT1's Hidden Track]



'Laguna Ring' [GT2's Hidden Track]

 

[urmie]

Wow, I hope the SS City is true!! I believe it's concrete, if you go to the first tunnel in SSR5, you see signs for an exit to SSR7, so maybe SSR7 is indeed the "Bridge" to SSR11.
This would totally rock if true, this is the closest we'll ever get to having a Shutoku Highway System stage, only seen in the Genki Tokyo Xtreme Racer/Import Tuner games.

 

[KOUKI507]

This post depresses me too... Having Red Rock Valley again would be great!!

Thumbs up for the Special Stage city! I like the idea!

 

[urmie]

To be honest, I'd like a Blu-Ray Remaster of GT3/GT4 like God of War got.
We already have all the HD GT4 cars in GT5, just "remaster" the tracks and release Sony!
