Import GT5 Garage to GT6...

[MoLiEG]

Not for me.

The point of the game is to start from the bottom and start earning the right to get the best cars.

However, a 100,000Cr bonus like the one on GT4 and 1 or 2 licenses would be nice

PD: A poll with be nice for this thread.

As an experienced Pokemon player... When Game Freak released Black and White, and only made it possible to transfer Pokemon from the previous generation (D/P/PT, SS/HG) after you beat the Elite 4, and in turn in those games having the same ability with the previous versions (LG/FR, E/R/S)... There's a reason for it being set that way - you must do this before you can do that.

Makes sense in a game like Pokemon, but NOT in the Gran Turismo series. Pokemon has no relation to racing cars, and while the level system is kinda similar... it doesn't exactly match up with Pokemon's. I didn't mind the level system THAT much, but my gripe with it is that there's almost no point in getting to 40 and only being able to do one race with that requirement - it just seems like a wasted effort of getting that high, and being only able to do ONE thing with it.

Being able to trade GT5's cars into GT6 is only feasible if said cars are NOT included in GT6 & can only be gotten in GT5 (which is rather redundant, especially with the DLC - if such a feature is implemented, why not just save time and put the car in GT6 instead of making us transfer it over?)

All that being said, if the option does come up... There needs to be a limit of what cars could be transferred over - people would abuse the system otherwise.

My vote is no. In a game like GT5 (and GT6), I'd rather start without any help from a previous game (like how you could transfer money from GT3 to GT4.)

 

[Exorcet]

Notice here, I, as in me, would like.... My opinion.

Of course.

Like with GT5, I would like GT6 to be a fresh start, where everyone starts equally with barely nothing but maybe 20.000 credits, like in GT5.

There had better be a pretty good reason for forcing people to play the game in less enjoyable manner. You're free to start however you want. There's not a single reason in the world that anyone else should start the way you want to start out.

The OP asked, and I gave my opinion. Simple as that.

You posted in a thread, I replied.

You disagreeing with me doesn't justify you giving me a headache with this 'doesn't give you a reason' rubbish.

If you've got a headache from participating in a forum, take a break. What obligation do you have to answer me? Unless the whole making other people do things my way applies to posting too.

I have all the reason in the world to be against the import of 'stuff' from GT5.

I'd like to know what those reasons are if you wouldn't mind sharing.

 

[TDZdave]

I wouldn't go as far to say you should get to carry over all cars, but I would like to have all my DLC purchased cars for GT5 readily available in my garage for GT6, well perhaps not straight away, but you unlock use of them for A-Spec racing when you level up, otherwise people would just pull out the X1 or R35 TC straight off the bat and kill it then come on GTP and complain it was to easy to master,

I also think that car's that a valued at 10 million plus if you have already purchased "not won" them in GT5 you should get a discount for purchasing them in GT6, it took too long to get credits up to purchase a F1 car or Ferrari P4 330 in A-Spec mode, without racing online,

Actually there is.

Everyone should start with equal amount of money etc etc. So it's fair.

Me having a headache was a figure of speech, for having to reply to you about my opinion...
I don't have any obligation to answer to you, but you asked and I answered. It's just good manners to answer someone when they ask.
I am not forcing anyone to do things the ways that I like. Was simply giving my view on the question from the OP.

I'd like to know what those reasons are if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Well firstly, I would like to start fresh, which i've mentioned like alot now.
Secondly, I would like everyone to start equally.
Thirdly, if we were given treats like transfer over cars etc from GT5, I know myself and alot of other people would be bored of the game real quick.

That's all for now.

 

[zzz_pt]

Like they did in Forza Horizon, who played FM4, was presented w/ 5 or 6 cars. Those who never touched FM4, started from absolut zero.

I think that would be nice...5 cars completly new to each that played GT5

Or a 10.000Cr bonus... import all garage I don't see the point really.

 

[Samus]

Actually there is.

Everyone should start with equal amount of money etc etc. So it's fair.

Fair in what sense? Because other players would have cars before you and beat you online with them? Would you also like people to only start playing the game on the same day you do so they don't get a few days/weeks advantage on you?

 

[Phoenix]

Fair in what sense? Because other players would have cars before you and beat you online with them?

I don't care what other cars people have. I would just like that everyone started from the same starting point.
Not having someone start from scratch and some start with loads of cars.

Would you also like people to only start playing the game on the same day you do so they don't get a few days/weeks advantage on you?

This is just irrelevant to the topic.

But no, if people get the game days or weeks before me, then good for them.

 

[TDZdave]

this is actually irrelevant to online gaming, I was level 18 before I connected to the internet to play online, even then, what exactly can you compete in fairly with racing shuffle, GT500 or NASCAR,

but in saying that I hope they fix the PP index, a Shelby Cobra should not have to compete against a 458 Italia,

 

[Exorcet]

Actually there is.

Everyone should start with equal amount of money etc etc. So it's fair.

I don't see why this is fair or desirable. You want to start with nothing, fine. Wanting to keep other people from having an "advantage" (quotes because it's not true) over you is not fine.

For one thing, some GT6 players will have done this whole unlocking thing about 5 times already. Some possibly sick of it. Is it fair that they have the same garage as someone who has never played a GT game before?

Secondly, there is absolutely know way that a good racing game will allow a player to have any advantage over another simply because that person has a better car. If two players race each other online, and they are remotely interested in having a good race, they will use PP or some other balancing restriction. If you enter a room for 100 hp cars, it doesn't matter if the next person has 1000 X1's. He will zero advantages over you.

I am not forcing anyone to do things the ways that I like. Was simply giving my view on the question from the OP.

You were giving your opinion, and that's fine, but what you want does force others to play a certain way, or it will if it's actually enforced.

Well firstly, I would like to start fresh, which i've mentioned like alot now.

Whatever you want for yourself is fine, but this isn't related to garage import as has been said, even if you're able to import, it does not mean that you will have to. Forcing garage import will be as stupid as not having it at all.

Secondly, I would like everyone to start equally.

Talked about this above.

Thirdly, if we were given treats like transfer over cars etc from GT5, I know myself and alot of other people would be bored of the game real quick.

I'd want to see proof of this, and then proof that the opposite isn't the case. I already know for a fact that what you are suggesting is a very good to have me get bored of the game quick. It will probably make online players bored of the game quick, as well as hardcore simulation players.

If boredom is a concern, then you should let people do whatever they like.

Now you do mention that you will get bored if you carry things over from GT5. I'll take your word on that, but that's why an optional import is what I'm asking for. However, I can't see why you would be bored if other people managed to import things from GT5. You should not care at all.

This is starting to sound like one of those licence tests arguments that popped up all the time about a year ago.

It does, but hey... It's a GT6 discussion.

 

[Shoe67]

I don't want this. I want it to be a hard game that takes a long time to clear, with harder to acquire money. The part I most enjoy about GT is working from small beginnings and progressively getting more, faster, better, cars. I have almost all the cars in GT5. Transferring them over will ruin the game for me and eliminate the challenge of winning races in a lower car. Plus, I'm hoping that GT6 has better quality for the cars, making GT5 cars obsolete. GT is about working from nothing to become the best racer in the world. It doesn't take much to go from everything to everything. So I think this would be a terrible feature

 

[karelpipa]

Im with you shoe, i dont like being paid for just one very easy race over 1M credits, 50k is well enough for 5 lap race (50k for LMP race, 5k for kei car race).
Also i would like to see paying for sets of tyres and gas.
Racing is very expensive, but in GT you start to have and almost unlimited amount of money, that you dont have to be worry about not having enough to buy car, repair, parts and so.
As you dont have any need to race in Aspec now. (Not counting the horrendous AI - its the worst in the series).

 

[xEnZo]

I wouldn't import the whole garage but, i'll pick out my favorites like the C9, Nardo, etc...

 

[Exorcet]

I don't want this. I want it to be a hard game that takes a long time to clear, with harder to acquire money. The part I most enjoy about GT is working from small beginnings and progressively getting more, faster, better, cars.

Consider that GT is by design not difficult, how much money you start with makes no difference. You race, you get money. You can not lose money except by choice. You can come in last place at the Sunday Cup forever and still buy every car in the game, then come back and enter the X1 in the Sunday Cup and win.

Consider a GT6 where you can import all cars. You go to the Sunday Cup. Rules says, you need a 200 PP or less car. This game is harder than the one without importing, by far.

I have almost all the cars in GT5. Transferring them over will ruin the game for me and eliminate the challenge of winning races in a lower car.

As above it would not. Even if you weren't forced to use a car on par with the AI (and you shouldn't be) it takes all of 5 seconds to select an appropriate car for the race as long as PD doesn't make race rules cryptic again.

GT is about working from nothing to become the best racer in the world. It doesn't take much to go from everything to everything. So I think this would be a terrible feature

GT is about whatever the person playing it wants it to be about. I don't want it to be about watching paint try, and I think everyone would appreciate being able to enjoy the game.

 

[KinLM]

Say they keep this leveling system.


Allow people to transfer any cars in their GT5 garage, as long as the car is under, say, level 3 or something.

That way, people can have a first car that they're familiar with, while not being able to get some car that goes a million miles per hour to just fly through the game.

 

[Exorcet]

That should not even be entertained as a possibility.

not being able to get some car that goes a million miles per hour to just fly through the game.

Why is this a problem?

 

[another_jakhole]

Why is this a problem?

I find it to be a problem since it's likely that not all events will have restrictions. GT's always been about progressing through the career starting off with a weak car. In a way, he said that in respect to how some of us think the career mode should stay the way it's always been.

 

[KinLM]

I don't think that they should keep the leveling system either. But it's PD, so expect anything.

Also, I've always found it nice to actually have a challenge in the game. If I pay $60 for a game, I at least want it to be challenging for more than a day. But if you'd rather crush the AI and complete the game the day you get it, then go right ahead. It's just not my thing.

Though there are 1000000000 alternatives that are not only better, but easy. Simplest I can think of is ask at the beginning of GT Mode:

Content - Classic, Open, Limited

Classic - Old GT

Open - Everything is free, you can do whatever you want in races.

Limited - GT with tight race restrictions and more complex financial component


And in all three, you can still have race restrictions, in Open (and maybe Classic) they would not be binding. In other words, they would only be suggestions that you can follow or ignore.

To be honest, my desire for a challenge is one reason why I don't want to bother with GT Mode or unlocks or arcady credits.

Just let me take all 1000 cars and all 50 tracks online from the moment I put the disk in the console so I can go do 100 lap races against drivers 1000 times better than AI.

Fair enough, just a difference of preference as far as I can see.

 

[IceMan PJN]

Will it be an option?
Who's for it, and who's against it?

This needs a poll.

I'm against it. It might be nice if they do a Forza and give you a few cars as a reward for our accomplishments in GT5, but I don't want to start out with my 1000+ cars.

Not sure if you know from the posts I've made altogether, but this is something I'm going to have to be stubborn about. Let us drive any car in Arcade, why not? A few cars chosen from your old profile under the circumstances that are provided; it's a compromise. Transfer all of your old tunes to be used for when you buy a car you had in GT5; that's awesome! I just can't say that I'm at all in favor of changing this part of the progression in the career mode. If anyone think's I'm dumb for thinking this, it's not that I don't care. It's that I don't see one of the most essential parts to a GT experience, really, being changed COMPLETELY.

You're not one of them, but there ARE people that view having everything/most things open from the get-go as a bad thing. Believe it or not, it adds everything to the game's longevity. If credits weren't so easy to get, I'd spend more than two seconds in a car, instead of switching cars all the time. That's a problem that pertains to me, and I'm not sure if most of the people who see this as a bad idea feel the same way.

Fair enough, just a difference of preference as far as I can see.

👍

 

[Exorcet]

OK, that's fair. But having an import option won't make the game any different for you, which is what I'm getting at.

Forcing import is as bad as not having it, even if it would make the game infinitely better for me personally. I thought I was making it clear what I supported.

 

[another_jakhole]

That's what I mean about being stubborn. I let most things go that are about new ideas even if I don't like them. This isn't one of them to me, unfortunately. And I do mean it.

SO, if they figure out a way to have us unlock other AWESOME content and features, I'm all for it. I need something to work towards or I'm going to be hotlapping for the rest of forever.

That was one of the things. When I first replied, I only had GT5 in mind. I didn't think about what GT6 might bring. It's what most pessimists do; I've become infected!

 

[pasigiri]

Forget transferring my garage. How about transferring my credits and my licences.

 

[Connoissuer]

The physics will most likely be different and the tune on your car most likely incompatible anyways.

 

[tpark103]

I personally think it would be more fun to start over.
