The physics are the same. The control abstraction is where the extra work is, and that's half done with TT already.
The physics guys would be no good at making more cars, tracks and "features" (unless it's a physics feature, or general programming feature). I doubt that the team is really as dynamic that they'll hire and fire people to fit whatever budget split they have for the week, but I suppose they could get rid of the physics guys and hire a modeler or two extra.
It's been a while since I've checked up on this thread and it's both amusing and infuriating to see the same arguments put forward again and again!
It's either "It's called Gran Turismo", which means cars only. Despite the fact it actually doesn't meant that, in the literal sense.
Or, "It says real driving simulator on the box", which also means cars only. So if they changed the tag line to "Real racing simulator" would that be okay?
Or my personal favourite "The physics would need to be redone", which means cars only! Completely ignoring the fact that they were fully functional in the early GTHD demo.
Griffith500: I think if I come back here for a look in another few months time, you'll still be putting up with the same old crap. Respect to you, sir. For fighting the fight that's right.

I seem to remember the GT website having an image of a Ford GT up against a bike way back when GT5 was still GTHD, and people have mentioned a video of an actual race between a car and a bike. Plainly, it was an idea they were toying with. Whether it was planned to be a real feature, a demonstration of their tech/game engine or just a mock up to make a decent trailer (think of Seattle in the NSX trailer for example), it is possible in some form or another. Of course, that was back when the game was still probably just a jumped up GT4 engine, so who knows how it could technically work now.
Personally, I have no strong feelings towards or against bikes; have no interest in them, but I can see the appeal of having them in there. I want to try and find a cheap copy of TT and see how it plays and feels compared to GT, and then see if the two would work. As long as the bike stuff isn't mandatory, I'd be all for it.
Single player 'car vs. bike' races could work quite well with the 'obstacle collision' system the Senna and GT Academy events have. Once you knock them off, you have to retry instead. Online could incorporate some kind of ghosting system for when cars are within a certain distance of a bike (although I dunno how well that would work - if it could at all).

Well, to be fair, they have to use the time to fix and add features until the actual GT6 finished rather than waste time doing other games (that I suspect even Kaz didnt interested in).But GT6 is also half-assed, so why not add more half-assed content?

Problem is that if you have a bike and a car of similar pace, the bike is going to be much faster in a straight line.
The car will be stuck behind in the corners and then be helpless in the straight.
It wouldn't be able to outbrake it because there would be a large gap after a straight, and even if it did manage to get ahead the bike would just outaccelerate it and repeat the process.

By that logic..But GT6 is also half-assed, so why not add more half-assed content?
Half-assed game + half-assed content = full-assed (?
) game?If so, I'm all for it.

lol! Nice one.By that logic..

Okay maybe its my opinion.
As for the half-A thing, just look at GT6 now. Its still technically unfinished since its features is not complete. They should be focused on delivering that.
Also its not like it would ruin my life or gaming. I only play any games for about 12 hours a week and also have other games than GT6. Surely I have more "joy" doing other things or playing other games. I just expecting more on PD.

Why not Tourist Trophy 2?

Why not indeed!
The thinking is that the most viable delivery vector (
) for the current always-online generation, would be as DLC / expansion to a GT game.

Can I double like this? I would even be happy with a re-release. I'd totally be fine with reusing the model from TT

I think that this would be perfect. Sure there would be a lot more time and work but it'd be worth it, I personally love motorbikes and I can't see why it would make such a huge problem.
