Longer lasting races

[Lord Protector]

We really need longer lasting races. Are these 2 - 5 lap GT5 races supposed to be long enough?? 5 lap nascar race? 5 lap F1 race?

In order to make players busy PD should make all races last longer like 100 lap NASCAR, 40 lap F1 race and all regular races at least 10 laps, all with tyres and fuel of course.

Basically, tyres don't even get warm in GT5 races. It cannot be hard to create a race so what the hell?...

The races should have a length adjustment, with rewards tied to the race length chosen.

I agree - they should at least be as long as the B Spec races which always have more laps.

 

[bigspleen]

Yes it was idiotic for PD to have almost every race be 3-5 laps, boring, no imagination, should be variety, some 10-20-30 even 40 lap races, what I like to call mini endurance races, and of course small ones to. 5 laps is OK but not for every darn race.

Yes, being able to set race durations would be nice. While they're add it, throw in an event creator.

If we'll be able to make online league races supported by the game itself, why not offline too?

If you want more laps do Online Racing . So much better imo.


But yes i agree, These laps are short, and the AI Follow a simple line .-., sure they can avoid things, but there slow. i can have the same car and they cant keep up :|.

👍

That would be great! So everyone could choose whatever one wants to drive. Sometimes I like 10+ laps, in other times there's just time for a quick rush.

I agree that GT4 had a better approach with tyre wear fuel depletion and a number of thirty lap races. I had no idea where the pit entrances were when doing some enduros online, becaue we rarely got to use them until the last series.

F1 though wasn't just five laps - in the seasonals sure, but A-spec was more like twenty, which is more like it.

A length adjustment for races would be a fine idea.

Being able to set the length of the race would be great. If you took some of those really short, easy races and made them a lot longer I think it would add a whole new dimension to the gameplay.

This is the one thing that really bugs me about GT games. The races are far too short, and not really worth it IMO. I'd like to see more 10, 15, 20 & 30 lap races.

Personally I liked the longer and more restricted races in GT4. I also really liked the aspec point system which really could get to to drive cars that you may not have otherwise and some very challenging races. Games today though are geared more toward online play and to me the offline mode has lost most of its appeal though if the A-Spec points were to come back and have a learderboard for these it may get a bit more interesting.

I imagine they do it because seemingly that is what the majority want. Just go online and most public races are under 10 minutes and when Nordschliefe comes up god forbid a race be more than one lap. Although on the other hand you could argue its because most single player racing games have short races so that is what people have been conditioned to.

Long proper races with great AI? Yes
Long races with current AI? No thanks, I'd rather just do the race, get the credits, then play multiplayer or hotlap on my own.

 

[PletdeKoe]

I wish they would add 15 lap eaces like in Gt 3. Making a pitstop and then trying to get an advantage by going in the right time after some really fast laps.

 

[Cosbuster]

Increasing the number of laps is irrelevant unless we get some proper ai. Otherwise you just end up racing with yourself for 15 laps with no competition, that's very boring too.

 

[ShiftingGears]

I actually thought the races were overlong in GT5 A-Spec, but then I realised that this was due to the lame AI and general second-hand experience of the tracks/cars/events from GT4. If the experience was like online racing, I would enjoy much longer races on A-Spec.
