POLL - The ability to make your own car in GT6

[Magic Ayrton]

Yes, yet another poll!

Do you remember when Kaz told us about a feature whereby we could make our own vehicle in GT6??

Also any news on this?

I would like to be able to swap engines, transmissions, and suspensions. Similar to the hybrids in GT3. Also similar to other games. I just don't ever see this happening any time soon for the GT series.

No. Could you elaborate on what you're referring to?

It's been done before on the ancient "Sega GT" PC game, where you could build your own car from a few basic sets of options. You basically choose the body type (sedan, convertible, coupe, etc) then drivetrain (FF, FR, 4WD, RR), engine type and size and configuration (Wankel or 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 cylinders), etc. That game was so much fun, I think I still have a copy of it somewhere. But by today's standards the graphics look very dated (and so does the physics) and I don't even think it runs on Windows 7/8. But I still think PD could learn a lot from it. The racing tracks were quite unique too! Oh and keep in mind Sega GT for the PC was different to Sega GT for the original Xbox.

I can't find the article now but it appeared in a Q and A on GTplanet once, maybe someone can help me here?

I think that's a bit of bad translation you've come across.

I highly doubt we would be able to model our own cars, we would of heard about such a thing from Jordan by now.

Do you mean that?

GTP: As you know, people discovered ways to modify the game data in GT5, and it became a very popular thing. Did you learn anything from that, in terms of how people were customizing their cars? Has it had any impact to your view on game design moving forward?
“We knew from GT1 that players and users have a strong need and desire to modify their cars, and it was just kind of a re-confirmation of that fact, and in GT6, we’ll have a lot more car customization options for the game.
“I was even thinking about providing something like a ‘Pro’ version of Gran Turismo, like a ‘Gran Turismo Pro’, so that you can really get into detail with the car customization process.”

These guys are doing this as a game in its own right. It is a massive undertaking, and I doubt we will ever see it in GT....
