Patch 1.10 - new single player mode "GT League"

[SnowLeopard]

I have not (and will not) read through 15 pages of posts!
For my part, I'm really happy with this announcement... the only thing missing is decals for helmets and suits.

Well you can make that suggestion, but you've got no proof of it in this specific case, have you? Since some people have their pants in a wad because I dared to say I'm not impressed by this update and can't say what I want, here you go:

- Start out as a racing driver but you tell the game your skill level, if you're a rookie or seasoned racer. The game sets the AI/aids as appropriate
- Based on the above you choose where to start, either in the beginner leagues or jump straight into a more advanced league.
- You enter into a racing season, starting out in your choice. It runs for several events with one offs thrown in.
- The events are all loosely based on real racing series or are real racing series where licenses permit.
- There is full qualifying for each event and fair standing starts or rolling starts. AI is competetive.
- The teams you start out at are going to be slower so you probably won't be able to win straight away.
- Perform well and you move up to better teams and new contracts.
- When you have enough money you can start your own team.
- An optional team management aspect, managing the team, upgrades, finances, sponsors etc
- You progress through the racing ladder choosing where you want to go. You don't need to win all races to proceed, just meet targets and impress.
- Full damage (optional), proper racing rules, pit stops, tyre wear. Adjustable race lengths. Weather is also highly desirable.
- No ultimate goal as such, you just keep going season to season until you've achieved everything you want.
- Throw in fun end of season events like Race of Champions.
- Develop rivals and friends through the years. People retire and new fast rookies turn up.

I could go on, but you get the idea. That's just off the top of my head in five minutes but PD deliver something like that, I'm in. From what we've seen in these images, that isn't what they're doing, they're just doing the same as GT1-6. It's a tired format that I'm bored of and not interested in.

Is my opinion allowed to stand now?

I had to go back and check to be sure and sure enough I did not reference or reply to you at any point in this thread and the posts I did make were purposefully generalized. So I never said your opinion was not allowed to stand in the first place.

What I did say was that some people can never be satisfied and let just wait to see what gets released before we go ballistic. I stand by both of those statements.

This is great news!!!

PD still sucks, this is bad news!!

There, I just summarized for you.

Would have liked to have a total Offline mode so you can save. I suppose offline saving could result in creative hacking, but that always happens in multiplayer

 

[GTP_Versatile]

We're getting the new r18 e-tron!? YES!

 

[sirjim73]

If I'm reading those right at the bottom of the photo, there are 4 different tracks so it looks like there are 4 races for Sunday Cup Race 2, 4 races for Boxer Spirit Race 1? That would be different to before where I think there was only one or two for each cup (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't played GT6 since I went to Copper Box lol).

Have you played PD's latest Fresh Idea in GT: Sport Mode?

Liked it or not?

Sorry for not being clear with my post formatting, only the first sentence of my reply was directly at yourself. The rest was not, you did indeed not say that.

We can wait and see, you're right, but as I say what we see on the tin as it were, is generally what we get. It was the case when they first announced this game and people kept telling us to wait (not you), it's probably going to be the case here. When the menus they use are almost identical to the old games, I think it's pretty safe to conclude the mode in general is going to be mostly the same. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

No, I didn't because I'm not an online gamer. I didn't like the choice they made, but I accepted that was their choice and it wasn't for me, that's why I left this place and didn't buy the game. I only returned today because as I say, I saw in my news feed this news about single player. We may be a dying breed according to some, but that is my interest and always will be.

Also as I said it doesn't even seem that fresh to me bar the rating stuff, but that's for another topic that I won't be getting into.

It's all good. I have always said that I hope we can get to a point with this game where everyone is happy with it.

Update 1.06 content (planned for 27 November 2017)
1. Campaign Mode, Scapes, and the Livery Editor features will become available also when offline. (However, an online connection is still required to save game progress).

2. Some elements of the car physics simulation model have been improved. This can be noticed especially in commercial cars, which exhibit less grip on the road, with improved sense of realism and controllability.

3. In line with the changes above, we have adjusted the difficulty level of the Driving School and Mission Challenges in the Campaign Mode, to allow a smoother game experience.

4. In Sport mode races, the judgement algorithm of the Sportsmanship Rating (SR) has been improved. Furthermore, it is also now possible to see the deductions of SR points not only for yourself, but also for other drivers involved in a collision/incident with your car.

5. ‘Autumn Leaves’ has been added to the featured Scapes photos. Some new photo spots have also been added.

6. 3 cars will be added to the game as free DLC.


Bolded part is pretty huge i think.

I think there's about 5 pages of Samus and Deadheadbill posts though, so it's probably more like 11 pages for everything else...

If you look closely it's just a mockup, the four boxes are identical on both, as is all the other info on the right side. The only thing that changes on them is the background image and the title/description.

I really wouldn't be surprised if they have knocked this up in a few weeks since launch. I mean, people did say that in 2016 after reveal, "how hard could it be to add a few menus with races to pick and set them up?" they said. Not that hard it seems, and they're not even finished yet going by these mockups. No reason not to show the final menus if they were ready, with different content on each.

 

[Tyger]

I think it's cute that the new cars include two Skylines. If there's a Miata, an MX5 and a Eunos Roadster in the next update, I'm sold

 

[AutobacsJM]

Yea it's been available for awhile now. Just go to discover and then go to decals and you'll see them. Trending, latest, most popular, and a search option.

oops i meant the ability to upload decals, as far as i know it’s still only limited to a select few users right now.

I have 5 posts in this thread, not pages thank you. Six now.

 

[invetedevo]

Badass news.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Didn't they already implement the new SR algorithm? It was much more forgiving today.

 

[rex1825]

Good thing is that 15 cars come, and only one is prototype, one is LMP, and all others are basically road cars

Hah they put a generation 1 eunos roadster (my own car) in I'll almost buy a second copy!

 

[-Fred-]

But what about the whole "Burn it to the ground, this is SPORT" ad campaign? PD had made it very clear GT:S was not going to be like GTs of the past, and yet here we are.

It's still isn't the traditional formula. You can't start with a crap car and tune it. It will be mostly events that we could already do in custom races.

So they reacted to the fan-base reacting badly to their decision. And didn't wrap it up in another paid release. Seems okay to me?

 

[Skygrasper550]

*sees old GT Mode events such as Boxer Spirit, FF Challenge etc.*

*sees FD RX-7, two Godzillas, Ferrari Enzo and a mother:censored: Cobra 427*

That said, I find it funny that only PD can make the SambaBus look dramatic like that in a promo image

It's possible, since it's just a server-side tweak. Haven't played yet today.

Showing us other's SR hits would presumably need the game update, and probably something extra in the net traffic.

 

[JoaoSilva]

Am i the only one that prefers the Mk. 2 Miata? @shaunus

 

[rex1825]

Interesting is they are mentioning some kind car tuning (maybe mileage point but...), also, don't like that "Free DLC car pack..." suggesting there will be payed ones too...

I ran off the track twice and someone hit me from behind and neither of these instances caused an SR drop. Got my SR up to A

 

[PocketZeven]

I knew polyphony wouldn’t let us down! Now bring back the classic GT original tracks! I am 100% confident they will be back!

Not really.

I don't think it suggests anything, I think they just want to use the keyword "free" as it sits better with people from a marketing standpoint.
