How would you like the dealerships to be implemented in GT6?

[HBR-Roadhog]

I would like to see a simple dealership, I like the GT5 interface better than that of GT4 since all the dealers are together on the same page. I would like to at least be able to turn off the animation when you are buying a car and stay in the dealership so you can choose to buy another car or back up to select another dealer or exit to the main GT screen.

The fewer steps and less time it takes the better I would like it.

I would also like to loose that animation when you get a car from the trailer if you have 10 or more cars in there it takes quite a while to get them out. Would be nice to be able to pull all cars from trailer and place them in the garage with 1 click

I wouldn't mind a Autotrader style delearship. Yes have new car in manufacturer dealership, but have the random used cars in one unit, search by any degree, for the right car but unlike real life having pretty much all types available at once, just have certain models, years, colours, engines, etc available at once. So still hundreds more available than Gt5 but refreshes over time rather every race add 6 more but take 6 away. So you could save for an expensive car all day rather than hoping it would come round again. Or even have a financial system with an interest rate over time, including a deposit so you can at least secure the car.

A filter in order to buy more than one car

 

[Isho]

We should be able to buy them faster or multiple at once. The fact that you have to wait a minute before it actually turns back to the menu after buying a car is beyond ridiculous.

 

[R.S]

Simplified dealerships are boring.

Dealership:
-Go back to country categories, with world map or something.
-Get rid of the worst music in the game which GT5 had in the dealearship.
-Real dealership environment with models placed around (not just a spinny thing that magically swaps to another car), selecting a different car "zooms" the camera to the car.
-Dealership stocks some relevant used cars.
-Allow test driving on test track if sufficient funds, if you crash it you buy it.


UCD:
-UCD where you must search through various different dealers.
-UCD which does not update at a consistent rate
-Real grungy dealership for old domestic cars


Put some pleasure and interest back into searching and buying cars.

My ideal dealership model or GT6:

- Select a country first
- Each country of dealerships has their own music playing similar to the classic GT soundtracks (I.E. USA has the GT2 south city theme, Japan has the GT2 east city theme, & etc)
- Select a manufacture.
- Each manufacture has a few options inside:
* New Car
* Used Car
* Tuner
* Classics
* One make races
Note: each option may not be there for some car makes that have very few cars such as spyker or AC cars.

Simplified dealerships are boring.

That may be your opinion but for most of us waiting is boring, We just want to be able to buy one or more cars easily without waiting for a bunch of stuff that is not needed or having to make several selections to get to the dealer we want.

My ideal dealership model or GT6:

- Select a country first

Extra step = more wasted time

- Each country of dealerships has their own music playing similar to the classic GT soundtracks (I.E. USA has the GT2 south city theme, Japan has the GT2 east city theme, & etc)

Could not care less about the music. The first step in configuring the game for me and everyone I know is disable the in game music

- Select a manufacture.
- Each manufacture has a few options inside:
* New Car
* Used Car
* Tuner
* Classics
* One make races
Note: each option my not be there for some car makes that have very few cars such as spyker or AC cars.

This part could be cool

 

[NeuroticVows]

I want the dealership similar to GT2.

My thoughts exactly. I miss that system

 

[sems4arsenal]

Go back to GT2, new and used cars will be with their respective manufactures, rare cars will still show up randomly like they do now, if I need a particular car ie, Miata go to the Mazda dealership and look for it. My problem with the current system is if your looking for a common car (ie, standard car) you will have to cycle through the UCD several times, for rare cars this is fine, common cars not so good.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ,does anyone have a Daniel Bryan GIF?

also ,I want a different music track to each manufacturer

 

[Feldynn]

As others have said, I too would really like to see a return to a structure similar to that of GT2 with some manufacturers having New and Used dealerships together. Maybe with the addition of an "Pre-owned Exotics" dealership where you can buy used high end cars like Ferrari's, Lambos and certain other similar sports cars, also there could even be a "Race Car auction" type dealership where you buy used race cars too.

 

[TexasTyme214]

Gran Turismo 2 nailed this area. New cars go in the new lot, used cars go in the used lot. Some cars had to be won from races since you can't walk into a dealer and buy Group C cars on the spot. I'd like to see some cars be in the used lot and the new lot in some cases. Maybe, I don't want to spend a lot on a new McLaren MP4-12C. Let it show up with several miles in the used lot.

 

[daus26]

Whatever the case, USED car dealership cannot be like how it is in GT5, please! I never saw anything wrong with GT2 either. The interface of GT5 just look like a last minute effort. They literally just slapped a UCD icon and have 30 cars appearing random of the 800. I'd like them to be organized to specific manufacturers. In GT4, I think they were organized by generation and classics, but I'd rather by manufacturers just because of the amount we'll have to go through.

 

[HaylRayzor]

They need to make it more interesting and difficult.

Like put a 1 car per real day limit, like trading is now. And include trades in the limit. So you can either buy 1 car or trade 1 car per day. That way you have to play 1,000 days to get 1,000 cars. That would keep people interested.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Of course I'm not serious.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh yeah, to add on to my ideal dealership, I want to be able to stay in the dealership than kicked out after purchasing a car just in case I'm planning to buy something else. Every main GT game before GT5 had this feature, why did PD decided to kick players out of the dealership after buying a car? That just made it annoying when I wanted to buy multiple cars.

You just described GT4 almost perfectly.

Too cumbersome in my opinion. Too many options and too many submenus before you even get to the car purchase.

1. Go to "New Cars" or "Used Cars" on the main menu.
2. Choose a manufacturer.
3. Buy the car.
4. Menu pops up.
a. Exit to Your Garage (car goes into a "general section" of your garage awaiting placement in a specific section of your choosing and design
b. Exit to Tuning Area
c. Purchase a Used Car
d. Purchase a New Car
e. Exit to Main Menu

If the ability to turn off animations is included and it should be, if you know what you are looking for, you should be able to buy a new car and be in the shop tuning it and adding aero and cosmetic parts in 20 seconds or less.
etc.

 

[Ills1999]

You're hired.

 

[Tornado]

Starts with a main Car dealership menu on the GT Life index.

New Car Dealership has all of the manufacturers in it (like GT3 and GT5), and has cars newer than 2008.

Used Car Dealership is broken into Pre-1980s, 1980s, 90-95, 96-2000, and 2001-2007. Each one has 30 cars that rotate out under the week system that GT4 used instead of the day system GT5 used (and days rotate like they did in GT5 rather than like in GT4). Makes it easy to look for a car, and gives you a wide selection of cars to choose from. Cars in the UCD have prices scaled to their mileage, don't lose value when you buy them, and occasionally extremely low mileage cars pop up to purchase. It would also be pretty cool to find occasional cars that have modifications equipped when you buy them (TXRD2 did that for used cars).

The Online Car Dealership is 30+ cars deep, has zero mile cars made up of whatever PD chooses (new and old) and has some sort of bonus (be it modifications or a tuning setup) that rewards you for buying cars from there.

Fourth dealership would be the auction house.








Failing that, PD should just dump everything in the NCD by manufacturer with zero mileage and be done with it. In any case, stay far, far away from the convoluted "world" systems that GT1, GT2 and GT4 used.

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

I would prefer all cars be available from the beginning,not to buy, like prize cars and stuff, but just be viewable.Used and Online car dealerships should just be cars ( any cars new old standard premium ) at cheaper prices and randomly tuned and customized cars.Haha imagine buying a car with a horrible tune and fixing it, they could make a tutorial telling you what does what.Would be a cool way of emphasizing the little notes they have on the tuning options.
Also walk around dealer ships like you walk around garages in PGR.

If its too slow for you, you can run

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I liked the UCD in Porsche Unleashed where the used cars were generally modified and then wrecked. All of them needed repairs not just an engine refresh on all of them but all sorts of random issues, suspension, body, trans, engine, tires, brakes you name it. You could also buy one of these repair it and then resell it for a bit of a profit. Also cars that you owned became more valuable if you won races with them and did not wreck them. Some of the rare ones became very valuable.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

You just described GT4 almost perfectly.

I know, I was sort of thinking of GT4, Forza 2, and GT2 when I thought of that. The only thing I forgot to mention was that I don't want the countries scattered around like in GT4, I wanted it similar to the forza 2 menu style in that sense. As in, you select a country as soon as you enter the dealership. GT3 had this as well and it seemed simple enough to navigate through.

Too cumbersome in my opinion. Too many options and too many submenus before you even get to the car purchase.

Well, thanks for giving me your input. I'll respect it.
Anyway, imo; I think a couple of submenus in a dealership system would be good in a case like GT6 since it'll have up to 1200 cars. I was thinking it would help keep the huge amount of cars organized.

Well, I guess an alternate idea could just be choosing a manufacture once you enter the dealership before you go selecting the car you want to buy.

The 1200 cars is not so much an issue when broken down by manufacturer.

One issue with the country method other than the extra step is that in some cases there are going to be very few cars in that section where as in other countries the list will be huge. For example Sweden and Japan are on opposite ends of that. Some cars would be hard for some people to find as well due to having to know which country they are made in.

Just choosing the manufacturer then the car would be fine or in the case of used cars if they wanted to list them all then it may also be good to break them into decades within the manufacturer in case where there was a large number of used cars from that manufacturer.

 

[Dodzzz]

My version:

1. choose a manufacturer
2. you will enter their mega showroom with their full cars in it, in 1st person view or 3rd person whatever you choose, you walk like in an adventure / RPGs (role playing games). there are 2 sections in the showroom, NEW and USED.
3. you approach the car you like, you click I WANT THIS CAR, and then there will be some menus for colors and other customizations if available (mostly for new cars only)
4. then you click BUY.

 

[Nikked]

It would be cool if the ability to walk around the dealer was integrated, wouldn't be too dissimilar to photo mode. Also, I'd like to see an options list on the new cars, say with the GT86 you can option up the TRD kit instead of adding aero later on. Interior colour options would be nice as well.

Following on from the dealer options, with the 86 again, having the factory tuners (GT4) available would be good to see. But it would have to be different from the aftermarket in some way, may it be greater re-sale value, or something.


For used cars, it would be an excellent idea to have a online used car dealer for players cars.

 

[Johnnypenso]

The option to walk around in a 3D dealership sounds inviting, but way too time consuming to me. For me the game is driving, not cool animations. I want to get in and get out of the dealership as fast as possible. If the 3D part of it was optional no problem. If it's forced....no.

Perhaps the cars could be viewed as a grid (or what ever) then have a "tour" button?

Anything where you can avoid walking through the dealership and go straight to the cars would work. I realize though I'm dreaming. If PD comes up with a virtual 3D dealership, you can bet the farm you won't be able to turn it off and you'll have to go walking to find every car you want, and most likely, all the best cars will be the farthest away. That's just PD's way...lol.

I guess I didn't think about those factors. Oh well, my mistake.

GT3 did that, too. Buy car, confirm purchase and get-in, and voila, you're sent back to Manufacturer Country Select screen.

I know that, which is why I said 'every main GT game before GT5' had that. I'm pretty sure that Gran Turismo 3 is a main Gran Turismo game.
