If you have something to say on a matter, say it.
So, I should probably say what I want to say, then. I don't usually 'argue' with people due to
being unintelligent me being pretty bad at it, but here you go.
Personally, I don't mind the VGT's. Some of the cars do look relatively tame (i.e. Lexus LF-LC), whereas on the complete flipside, you have stuff like the Chaparral and the Tomahawk X. Looking at those, I totally get that people would be annoyed that these incredibly unrealistic cars (the Tomahawk X in particular) are a part of a racing simulator.
What I don't get, is that there are other games out there that do not use real cars in some aspects, yet no one bats an eyelid; but whenever GT announce a new VGT, for lack of a better analogy, salt is everywhere.
Take Forza 6, for instance. Last year, it included the Chryslus Rocket, which is from Fallout; so, obviously, not real. It's also powered by nuclear energy. Incredibly unrealistic to produce in this day and age. And yet, when it was announced, there was a pretty large amount of people that either praised the car, or thought it was cool to bring in a car from a different franchise.
The original Project Cars did this to an extent, with cars like the LMP1's not having a real counterpart. Yet, that'll get a free pass due to the cars being realistic, of course, when you compare their LMPs to some of the more ridiculous VGTs that have been created, it looks like a little bit of a joke, but when you compare them to some of the more realistic VGTs, like, I don't know, the LM55, the only thing that the PC LMPs have over it is that it adheres to regulations. Considering a model of the LM55 exists, you could even argue that it's "more real" then the LMPs in Project Cars.
On the flip side, let's go to whenever a new VGT is announced for Gran Turismo. Masses of people are annoyed at the fact that "PD are wasting time modelling fake cars and not including real ones"; the E30 M3 and the Mark IV Supra tend to come up a lot. I'm not sure if I'm talking rubbish here, but I'm pretty sure that PD are only responsible for adding the car and its specs into the game, meaning it really wouldn't take that long at all to add a VGT compared to an actual car, where you would have to scan the car, record the sounds, add it to the game engine, add the specs, and make sure that it drives somewhat like the real thing.
Arguing against some people that are vehemently against VGTs is hard, like I said earlier. I mean, you could have one guy say that the car isn't that bad, but on the other hand, you have someone saying that it isn't (
insert name of car not in GT series), making the car a waste of time and resources. There are people that think it's dumb that people could like them...yet don't even associate themselves with the series anymore. I'm not saying that people aren't entitled to an opinion, but...don't drive them? If the sheer existence of the car is enough for you to come back to the forum and complain, then I don't know.
The only thing that I'd say is that I'm worried about is that the VGTs will take up a large amount of the car list (like...20% now?), but who's to say that the game won't get any kind of DLC in the future? Despite Kaz being pretty unreliable, he did say that he'd get over 400 cars into GT Sport. I'm pretty sure they aren't going to add another 100 VGTs into the game.
Anyway...that's all I have to say, I guess.
Yeah...I guess I'm ready to be roasted for all of this.
