Honda Sports Vision Gran Turismo: Unveiled

Honda is not the company it once was in the 90's and are now facing a lot of
competition and going after Lotus customers is probably not going to help them.

Sorry mate but I am losing you.
First,Honda is not after Lotus customers (they are not many of those anyway).But if they were going head to head,why a big company that sells well would have problem against another that pretty much is in financial trouble the past 10 years -at least-?
 
Ok, the Nissan race team's last comment after getting thrashed badly by Porsche at LeMans, was: "We have to go back to the drawing board "... totally scrapping the idea is what has actually happened... Ok... I feel it was for the best then.
 
This thread is a wild one. We went from talking about this Honda being 'revealed' to outrage about "another VGT" that's ALREADY in the game (:lol:) to dynamic weather being absent and on and on... It's a neat looking car, it's Honda's official concept, most likely PD didn't tell Honda to add the car, it was probably the other way around and finally dynamic weather has nothing to do with this thread.

I don't get it... If the car didn't had the VGT name, then everything would be fine. What's the difference?
Pfff.
 
I don't really get the outrage over the VGT cars. I like the idea of letting an automaker's design team(s) go nuts and make a design. Plus it makes the GT Sport car list more unique than others. Sure, I'm hoping for other cars that've been in previous games to be updated and brought to GTS, such as the older GT-Rs, but we have confirmation that more cars are in the works anyway.

I don't remember people getting upset at all the concept cars in older games, and especially when there were games that had both the concept and production versions in the same game, such as with the Audi R8, the Mazda RX-8, the Ford GT, the Mitsubishi i Concept, the Infiniti G37, the Toyota 86, and others. Some even had two or three concept versions (the RX-8 and 86, respectively) alongside their production versions. Heck, some concept cars seemed almost like a gag, like the Daihatsu OFC-1.

Look, my point being, is that we know more non-VGT cars are coming, and I think the VGT cars make the GTS car list different from other games, along with cars that've always been designed for the GT series, like the Nike One, the Citroen "GT by Citroen," the Red Bull cars, and that special SEMA Corvette C7.
 
not the best design..

I don't see why people are complaining about the VGT cars. Yes there are some pretty undesirable ones (Mitsubishi, Aston Martin, Daihatsu, Zagato, etc), but there's some truly amazing ones too. The Mazda, Alpine, and Hyundai VGTs are cars that have been designed with a lot of thought and care put into them, and it shows.
Back before I played GT Sport I was willing to pay good money to get even one of those three into the other games I was playing at the time. Yet many people here are treating these cars like they're holding the game back, and I don't know why. Is it because you think that VGT cars are going to dominate the game's post-release content? Or is it just that it bothers you to race against fictional cars... despite racing on fictional tracks, in a virtual game, containing computer-generated sound files and imperfect car physics?

Overall, I will say that I've been a bit disappointed by the more recent designs put out there in the VGT project (this one being one of the more 'okay' designs), but at the same time it doesn't exactly ruin the experience. At the very least the worst of the lot are all restricted to Gr.X, so they're virtually non-existent to anyone who neglects to use them.
 
In my opinion, this is the real successor to the NSX. The new supposed NSX is nothing at all like the original. The original was lightweight, low assistance, rear wheel drive, and just a straight up great handling mid engine car. The new one has a bunch of unnecessary technology in it, and somehow manages to outweigh the Audi R8, 918, and even the GT-R. It's almost as heavy as the Veyron for crying out loud. Not to mention it's AWD. Sorry, but that isn't an NSX and it's not what most NSX fans would want as a follow up.

When people think NSX, they didn't think heavy hybrid AWD computer driven luxury car. It used to be a nimble, lightweight, drivers car with some luxury without compromising the driving experience.

The Honda VGT however, is almost exactly what a NSX follow up should be. Maybe even better performance. Much lighter weight than even the original NSX, and plenty of power. Maybe the styling isn't the best, but otherwise they nailed it.


I see rain

I think you mean "ITS GON RAIN!!!!!!!!"

I hope, the cockpit interior of that car will be is present in-game too, as shown from the video. lol

It is. Fortunately.

Live For Speed is an arcade game, then. 👍👍👍

And netkar Pro :lol::lol::lol:

OK. But it's almost a year and a half old information. They could have make it possible in the meantime.

Doing so would sacrifice the level of polish GT Sport is known for. Even Forza 7's basic time of day features required sacrifices, same with F1 2017. Even Driveclub has some conditions where it doesn't look great.

The way GT Sport has done it was the only way to ensure the game looked brilliant every time you get onto the track.

GT5 and GT6 got a lot of crap from fans and critics about not being very polished, so PD obviously wanted to avoid that this time.

The dynamic time change will be back for GT7 I'd bet. I'm sure PD wants to make sure they absolutely nail it to avoid the same criticism they got in the past.

I agree in principle. The new NSX is not the same as the old, but the name is still apt: New Sports eXperimental. It is to the current crop of hypersports what the original NSX was to the supercars of its day - in terms of technology and overall concept, at least.

A reimagined version of the original NSX for today would be wonderful, but I don't suppose it would really warrant either the "New" or "eXperimental" labels.
